My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse-Chapter 144 Genesis Ark
Whoosh!
The train moved slowly and the people held their breath as their hearts raced. It's moving. It's moving. They cried in their minds.
In the control center, Chloe controls the train nervously. Perhaps, she was the most panicked streaking person on the train.
As the train continued to move out of the yard, the people began to have hope. After a couple of seconds, the train picks up speed, leaving a loud noise behind.
Quickly, the train left the train yard and sped into the desolate area. The insecticide was furious as they saw their prey escaping inside a metallic object.
Kree!
The Insectoids cried as they chased after the train. Meanwhile, Justin was already waiting for the train departure. When he saw the train speeding up, leaving the desolate area.
He looked at the Aerial Cave Bison and shouted. "Origin Zero!" 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐om
The five golden circles on his head shine brightly as a powerful vibration comes out of the rings and moves swiftly toward the Cave Bison.
Screech!
The Cave Bison noticed an incoming danger and tried to escape. Unfortunately, the vibrating power had locked on it.
Boom!
The Cave Bison was sent flying and a cloud of dust raced in the sky. A miserable cry came from the Cave Bison as it trembled in the deep crater. Blood gushed out of its body, forming a small pool.
It took the Cave Bison a couple of minutes to recover from the miserable pain. When it jumped out of the crater, Justin was long gone.
Bang! Bang!
A cry came from the distance as many Insectoid was turned into smithereens. They had almost caught up to their prey until Justin's attack arrived.
Whoosh!
Justin jumped and landed lightly at the tail of the train. He raised his head and looked at the monster in the sky. He curled his lips and sent his weapon into the sky.
Bang! Bang!
The careless Insectoids in the sky were hit by his power as they fell lifeless. Seeing this, the Insectoids cried in panic as they tried to escape.
'That should deter them for a while.' He thought as he breathed a sigh of relief.
Screech!
A deafening sound came from the distance. It was the furious cries of the Cave Bison.
"Adieu" Justin muttered with a satisfying smile. Quickly, he turned and ran to the front of the train.
"Open the door." Kira smiled.
Creak!
A powerful frost rushed into the train and the people shivered. But then, a silhouette entered the train swiftly. He closed the door and looked at the people in front of him.
Hmm!
Kira jumped into the chest of the new arrival as everyone in her presence widened their eyes for a moment before they averted their gaze.
"You scare me." She whispered.
"Sorry about that," Justin said as he hugged her tightly.
The duo stood for a couple of seconds as they enjoyed each other's warmth. The couple separated but Kira didn't let go of his hand.
"How are you, everyone?" Justin asked with a smile.
"We're good," Nasir replied with a light smile on his face.
Merab looked at Justin and nodded. She knew there was no amount of words that could convey their gratitude.
Justin and Kira arrive at the control center. Chloe was busy steering the train and failed to notice the arrival of the couple. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
"Are you getting the hang of it?" Justin's voice echoed inside her ear.
Hmm!?
She creased her brow and turned back. She stood quickly and smiled as various emotions appeared deep in her eyes.
"You are — Yes. I'm getting the hang of it." She nodded as tears of happiness dripped from the corner of her eyes.
She wanted to hug him but seeing Kira beside him forced her to control her impulse. This past couple of hours had been nerve-wracking.
No one knew whether they were going to survive or not. When the Cave Bison arrived, almost everyone had given up on surviving but…
"It's alright, everything is ok now," Justin said calmly as he could understand her tears.
Hmm. Hmm. Chloe nodded as she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"You should take care of your injury and change your clothes." She said and bit the edge of her lips.
"Ah, you're right." He chuckled and left the control center.
After a couple of hours, the train traveled smoothly without encountering any danger. Thus, everyone could finally relax their nerves.
Inside a car, a group of people sat calmly as a steam of hot tea escaped from their mug cup.
"How are the people on the train?" Justin asked.
He was wrapped in bandages and his face was a little white. Nevertheless, that doesn't stop him from attending the first meeting on the train.
"Everyone is now getting used to their life on the train. Besides, they had no choice since they knew this would be their home from now on." Nasir said.
Justin nodded and thought for a moment. "What about those injured?"
"They are recovering at a visible pace. By tomorrow, some of them should wake up." Merab responded.
Hearing this, a sigh of relief escaped from Justin. He had been worried about those in the med bay. But now, he could relax.
He took a sip from his tea and relaxed on his chair. He looked at the faces of those in the room and knew what was going on in their minds. Though they were safe for now. They won't be safe forever.
They need a plan to survive.
"What are your thoughts?" He finally asked.
"We need fresh men on the defense team" Mack was the first person to talk.
"We need people in the medical section. Also, we need to set up some sections for research. Our weapons are getting redundant by the second, our medicines are not useful against Circle Existence and many more." Chloe said as she raised her head from the book in her hand.
Hearing this, the group sighed in bitterness. They knew there was a lot to do. But when they hear Chloe stating it. They realized the burden on their shoulders was getting heavier.
"What is more?" Justin asked calmly.
Hearing this, Chloe looked at him and adjusted her glasses. She took a deep breath and said.
"As you all know, this is a train, not a house. We need to reconstruct every car into living quarters. We need to give people jobs or things to do."
"Our supplies are running out while we are not restocking. To state the obvious, this train made us prone to attack. The train frame won't withstand the attack of any beast higher than Second Circle before it derailed"
"Have I talked about water and sewage management?" She asked as she looked at the faces of the people.
When she saw the expression on their faces, she was stupefied. What happened to their faces? She cried in his heart.
It took a lot of effort for Kira to force out a smile and said. "No, you can continue."
"Really?" she creased her brow.
Hmm. Hmm. Kira nodded as she gave Justin a knowing smile.
'You ask for it.' She said through their soul link.
'I know and I wasn't complaining.' He responded.
It took Chloe a couple of minutes to finish her analysis before she dropped the book. Seeing this, the group sighs in relief. If she was to continue, they may be forced to take the book from her hand.
Can't you see we are already on the edge here? Merab rolled her eyes at her.
Chloe saw her expression and shrugged. It is better to deal with it now than abandon it. She thought.
"Thank you for the detailed analysis," Justin said calmly.
He looked at the faces of the people and saw their hidden despair. He sighed slightly as he understood the burden on their shoulders. But what could they do?
"Though what Chloe said was a lot. But it wasn't a lot if we took it one after the other. Now, let's deal according to their importance." He continued.
"We need security first, right?" He asked.
They nodded.
"Pass my command, everyone, older than eighteen and doesn't have any area of expertise must be sent to the defense team." He said decisively.
What!
Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at Justin in surprise but no one uttered a word.
Justin ignores their gazes and continues.
"Any woman older than forty without any area of expertise that may be useful to us right now must be sent to the med and food processing department."
"Older people that couldn't work in the defense department must be sent to the machinery department."
"First Circle existence must hold a post in each of this department. While the second Circle is only for the search of supplies."
"Chloe, you go and find six young people for the train control department."
"Chloe, in the next two hours I want a detailed analysis and everything we need to make this train home for all of us."
"Nasir tells everyone as from now, the train we are on is Devcon-2. Anyone that caused any problem during this period would be locked up or thrown out of the train. Is there any question?"
"What is the meaning of Devcon-2?" Nasir asked.
"Emergency, every hand must be on deck," Justin said casually.
"Since this is our new home from now on. I name it Genesis. Genesis Ark. It is no more a train but the Genesis Ark." Justin commanded.
Suddenly, a spark appeared in the sky.
