Chapter 376: 376. Short Time Skip

"Don’t worry, I’m not going to use it against you." Anna laughed and put it away after taking the seeds.

Alicia watched Anna’s performance and then nodded slightly. It seemed that Anna was also able to harvest seeds from the plants she grew, which meant that she would have more reserves in the future.

After all, seeds itself came from the plants.

And it would form another new plant as long as it was planted properly. So in a way, Anna’s seeds would never run out.

Bang!

The two guys were finally done with their battles.

Lucas was completely wet due to the ice melting with fire and some parts of his clothes were torn.

On the other hand, Dylan looked perfectly fine.

"You won, right?" Anna asked.

"Of course!" Dylan raised his head proudly.

"Good job!"

"Don’t encourage them more!"

"Hahaha!"

"Come on, let’s rest for the night."

"Yes."

They all agreed and then went to their designated place. Lucy stayed with Alicia in the van while Mark had to stay in the living room. He looked at the messy living room and sighed deeply.

"Did you two don’t clean up?"

"There are not many items here and those are to put in the fireplace," Dylan replied as he pointed at the wood stacked on the side.

"I see." No wonder it was stacked here messily.

"I’m going to stay with Anna." Dylan went to the kitchen with Anna. She had been helping him with cutting some vegetables. The main responsibility when cooking was still handed to him, though.

"Got it." Lucas was rubbing his shoulder.

"You ok?" Mark asked.

Lucas nodded. "Yeah, next time, you should also spar with Dylan."

Mark shook his head. With his physical strength as his main ability, he honestly doubted that he would even be able to go close to him.

...

The days passed by swiftly.

For the next few days, Dylan and Anna were staying in the small base with their friends. They were all having fun with each other and play together. Of course, even if they were like this, they were still listening to the report from City A Base.

As the leaders expected, there was indeed chaos.

Following the big mutated rats swarm, many people with abilities started to rise among the commoners. Those who were able to perform spectacularly when facing the big mutated rats in front of others and had the ambition, rallied the masses to make their voices heard.

They didn’t want to only be the receiving end.

They also wanted to know what currently happened.

Even if it was not everything, but these people who were originally of low born also wanted to have a position as representative of the people.

And this also clashed with the angry Mr. Mason.

So there were internal battles that lasted for several days before things calmed down and the structure in the base changed slightly.

"The people now have representative and there are 7 leaders in the base?" Anna listened to Alicia’s explanation about the current situation because the news they received here and there in the internet was quite messy.

The one in chaos after those big mutated rats was not only City A Base but many other cities were also in predicament.

Because many things were destroyed.

And at the same time, too many people died during the attack from the big mutated rats.

Countless bases were unable to operate and many people moved to the official base. Because they didn’t feel safe if they were to stay in small base that didn’t have enough protection.

Originally, people thought that it would be enough as long as they have shelter and food.

Even if the situation was not very good, but they could survive.

Now, they realized how stupid they were.

What threatened them was not simple natural disaster and the change of weather. It was the entire world that was already changed and even these big mutated rats could appear in front of them.

And then what else?

They didn’t want to take risk anymore and many small bases lost countless people.

Too many people would rather go to the official base.

And at the same time, the people in the official bases were also pressured. The appearance of these big mutated rats showed that there was bigger challenge out there and they had to be prepared no matter how it was.

Thus, the people also wanted a way to become stronger.

Those with abilities wanted their abilities stronger.

Those without ability wanted to be able to protect themselves.

And that was how the 7 leaders came for City A Base. The situation had more or less calmed down and now, these people were having a meeting with each other.

"Yes." Alicia nodded and then thought about another thing. "Uncle Matthias said that Uncle Darien said something about the improvement for food, which was using the big mutated rats’ corpses. It was a novel idea that’s worth trying and everyone agreed with him. But he said that the idea didn’t come from him."

"It’s from me." Anna smiled faintly. "I told him about it before we come here not long ago. Since things have calmed down, I guess it’s time for us to return."

"But we have only slept in that building for two days?" Lucy was speechless. She liked her room in this building very much and wanted to stay here for a while longer. Unfortunately, Dylan didn’t seem to like her presence in the slightest bit.

"And what do you want to do?" Dylan glanced at Lucy back. "You’re a soldier now, so you still have duties in City A Base."

"Awh..."

"We can still come here occasionally," Mark reminded.

"Uh huh." Lucy could only sigh.

"But still... I don’t understand why there are so many people who want to kill Sister Alicia." Lucas leaned on the chair behind him.

The others thought about the recent assassination attempts on Alicia and could only smile bitterly.
