Chapter 15: Enduring
Level 20 of Tokyo Underground Base
Pri Minister Level
Pri Minister Kiyoshi scans through his transparent iPad the profile of the 100 bio-genetics viewed accordingly. He paused when he got to Hiro’s profile, his picture coming up, and his details.
"General Kimura’s son," Kimi Touka said. She was standing beside his seat with a transparent iPad at hand also.
"He wasn’t present in the classroom!"
"Did you expect him to be?" Kiyoshi said like he knew it would happen.
"The poor kid woke up blind. His eyes were damaged during the explosion, he’s in much pain than any of those kids".
Touka looks sad. Kiyoshi’s eyes are still lingering on Hiro’s picture.
"He’s the spitting image of his father. We lost an admirable General on Black Storm day and now his son is now a part of all this".
"Do you think the bio-genetics will believe what happened?!" Touka asked with a dark look.
"Only ti will tell, for now, let them mourn their lost ones, it’s a privilege we should give them".
"They are the future of the world, these kids will pave a way for us, a hope that humanity may have a chance of surviving this pandemic," Kiyoshi said with a stern look, his eyes averting to Touka.
"Begin preparations for their training!"
"Already?!"
"It’s been 2 years since the Black Storm. We did all we could to gather survivors and secure them to the base, we lost tons of soldiers in the process. Discovering the kids was like a miracle to us, kids who survived the exposure of the virus".
"Finding out what they are capable of will make things clearer. There is no ti to waste Dr. Touka!"
"Yes Kiyoshi-sama," Touka said, bowing slightly before walking away, her heels sounding as she left. The door slid shut.
Kiyoshi reached for his drawer and brought out a white transparent light bag with a headset inside broken in two, it was black looking like neon, the buttons at the side, lined with red. Hiro was clinging to it tightly when they found him unconscious. His eyes drift to Hiro’s profile picture once more.
"I wish your son wasn’t caught up in all this, Haruto!"
His looks darken.

Level 17: Bio-genetics Level
Cafeteria Hall
Solemn Silence
The bio-genetics were seated in a cafeteria, it was a wide hall that contained all of them, long iron tables and chairs, a wide space at the center, bright lights on the ceiling.
A dark gloomy expression was on each of their faces, a tray of one-course als on their tables, preserved for them with white transparent nylon.
"You should eat Yumi," Mirai said, forcing a weak smile. Yumi’s eyes averted to her and then back at the food.
"What the Pri Minister said, did you believe it?" she asked with trembling eyes.
"Our families are gone, the world is ending, is it all true?" tears were building up in her eyes.
"I don’t think it’s true!" Kaneki said, halting at their table, carrying a tray of food.
"Kaneki Senpai!" Mirai said.
He took a seat at the iron bench in front of them.
"I don’t care if the Pri Minister said it himself, it sounds off to , I an the part about surviving the virus, is that even possible?!"
"Well, you did say you were on a plane close to the Chemical Plant when it exploded," Mirai said.
Kaneki gulps.
"All the events that happened are unexplained, I don’t even know how I’m still alive," Kaneki said as his fist clenched on the iron table.
"Our house ca down," Yumi said, their eyes averted to her.
"I was hidden in a wardrobe when it happened, I didn’t know what happened, and I thought it was an earthquake".
"Yumi, why were you hidden in a wardrobe?!" Mirai asked, confused.
Yumi’s fist clenched on her lap as her body trembled.
"Yumi," Mirai said with a worried look. ’Was she abused?’ She thought with shaky eyes.
"I don’t wanna talk about it," Yumi said, shaking her head negatively.
"It’s okay Yumi, just eat okay".
"Eat while you are still alive
