Capítulo 27: Chapter 27 Valley
Edward assigned Eric to speak with his brother and the Blythes about the arrangement they agreed with Duke.
It appears that aside from their family, only the Blythes were able to follow them. Although the Blythes were in a sorry state, they are still alive. They did not even notice when they lost the Mercedez-Benz that was following from the back.
Ethan and his two brothers did not have any opinion with the agreement either, as long as they can follow Kisha, everything is fine. As for the Blythes, after hearing about the agreement, they did not kick a fuss and agreed right away. Or should I say Grayson, agreed without so much thought. He did not care if his wife was kicking a fuss, he just followed his gut feeling.
Hearing that her husband would discipline her if she as much caused trouble, Anna felt scared and quieted down. Gretha was meek, to begin with, so she did not say anything and just silently sat at the back.
Once everything was settled. Hawk led the convoy to the Valley that was prearranged as their settlement. It only took them 3 whole hours to travel without any difficulties on the road, and within these three hours, Kisha was able to have a shut eye on the passenger seat while Duke drove steadily.
"Host, we're almost at the destination." 008 reminded her.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked out at the window. What greeted her was a tall mountain, surrounded by a vast forest. She wound down the car window and savored the clean air. The place was the typical place good for mountain climbing and excursions
Kisha was satisfied with the location and she smiled as she let her hair flow with the wind. This is indeed a luxury for her. In her previous lives, there was no clean air, the smell of decay was so strong that it could be smelled everywhere. The trees and plants that did not mutate were slowly dying, the soil turned so rusty that no plant or vegetable could grow and the water was something that could not be easily consumed, and everyone thought it was better to have food poisoning than to accidentally drink the water. That memory was truly gloomy.
The lush trees and clean air soothe her worries about the future and decides to cross the bridge when they get there. For now, she wanted to enjoy the scenery as if she were going on a picnic, she felt her mood improve drastically.
Soon, they exited the lush forest and were met by a cave-like valley, it was so huge that it was almost one-third of the humungous mountain, although it was a cave-like formation, but it was more like a cliff that was leaning out and covering some part of the valley that creates a shade.
It has a wall that was made out of naturally formed limestone, the location faces east so it has enough sunlight and there was a modern building attached to the cliff that was almost blending with the wall, if not for her good eyesight, she would not notice it.
"It was indeed a good hiding place."
Duke only smiled when he heard her compliment.
As far as Kisha could remember, this was not where Duke set up his base. She was wondering if something happened in this place or if it was attacked by mutant plants that he had no choice but to transfer his base to City B?
Aside from mutant plants, this place is easy to defend against zombie hordes and attacks from humans. But this is none of the concern now, she bought the territory pack for this reason. She wouldn't have to worry about the overall defense of the place within her territory, and now that she thought about it. She hasn't fully dived into the use of the territory pack aside from knowing about the subspace-type farm, orchard, and other facilities.
She decided to do some experiments once they settled down. She nodded in agreement with her decision.
Duke parked the car under a huge tree with wide branches providing shade for them. In front was a large open space and a little further ahead was the building. The building was ten stories high and its expanse was almost half of the place, which was tens of thousands of square meters.
He did a quick scan around the surroundings before looking at Kisha, seeing that she was in a good mood, Duke's eyes turned gentle. "We have arrived. You can ask Hawk to lead you directly where the warehouse and check if your request has been fulfilled. After all, you'll be responsible for the Defense and Supply Management."
Astounded, her head whipped almost instantly to look at Duke. "Since when?"
"Just now." Duke gave her a challenging smile. "You up or afraid?"
Her eyebrows twitch in irritation as she looks at Duke's sarcastic smile. "Bring it on!"
Duke chuckles. "Don't worry, you can do whatever you please and order anyone you like."
"You said it, no takebacks." Kisha smirked, there was an evilly playful glint in her eyes.
"Hmm." He nodded.
When she stepped out of the vehicle, Hawk and Vulture were already waiting by the door. Hawk stood straight, puffed out his chest, and said while wearing a salesman's smile. "Let's go Ms. Aldens, I'll lead you to the warehouse."
She nodded and instructed Vulture to bring her family to their room to rest. She scanned the place and noticed Duke with a grave expression on his face, rushing to the building.
She silently followed Hawk to the right outermost corner where a bunker-like building was standing tall. It was located in a secluded place surrounded by a cliff. "008, scan the surroundings for people where we'll pass later. Let me know if you pick up signatures different from the people with us"
During her brief exchange with 008, Hawk did a retina and fingerprint scan before putting in the code, after a careful process, he pushed open the twenty to thirty-foot-tall automatic iron door. A loud mix of noises from different animals was heard the moment the door was opened.
Kisha placed her attention on the stimulated animals, they were all so noisy that it gave her a headache. She took a closer look and noticed that there was no food or water placed for them, she looked around and found no one taking care of the livestock. She waved her hand and placed all the livestock in her territory subspace.
"Where are the supplies?" She asked in a hurry.
Hawk led her to the innermost part of the room and there was another big iron door separating a different room from where the livestock were located. He performed the same security check before they were able to enter the room.
The second room was two times bigger than the last and was brimming with boxes of supplies of different categories. Kisha's eyes lit up after seeing the amount of supplies they had and started planning its uses and management.
But before she let herself be consumed with excitement, she stored all the supplies in her inventory, straightened her posture, and strode back to the building. There was something she needed to confirm.

Capítulo 28: Chapter 28 Territory Pack
Kisha rushed to the building but no matter where they go, they can't find anyone. There was an ominous feeling bubbling in her heart the longer she walked around the building, in the end, she decided to head and seek Duke.
Hawk led her to the conference room where Duke was having his call with his subordinates. Kisha pulled the nearest chair and sat, she waited for his call to end before she asked. "Care to explain what's going on?"
Duke was silently thinking with both his hands intertwined under his chin. His frown could squeeze a fly in between, he doesn't seem to hear Kisha's question because his brain seems to have come to understand some possibilities of a certain situation.
Kisha repeated her question only after she had gotten his attention.
Snapping out of his spiraling thoughts. Duke answered. "The convoy that was supposed to bring my family here has been intercepted. And we have lost contact with them. Including Tristan." He exhaled deeply and continued. "My people have been looking for clues around.
But because of the chaos outside, our network has been paralyzed."
"When did it happen?" Kisha inquired.
"Last night, I presume."
Kisha remembered that Duke mentioned that he couldn't contact Tristan anymore. She then fell into deep contemplation. If her memory serves her correctly. Duke has never mentioned his family in her previous life and not just that, she could not remember seeing Tristan, Hawk, and the others. Not even once. 'Could it be?!'
"Do you at least have a clue where they were before they disappeared? Or did Tristan leave any clues? Any rendevous location?"
Duke tried to think again to see if he missed some important information or clues. Aside from the last text message Tristan sent him at dusk, nothing else could be used as a clue.
"I have sent my people to the last known location to investigate." He appeared downcast as he spoke.
"I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?" Kisha said, neither cheerful nor hopeful but informative.
Duke stared at her for a full minute before he nodded.
"Send Sparrow to investigate."
Sparrow who was silently standing on the side, was jolted in nervousness as to why he was called. Kisha continued when she saw Duke's probing gaze and looked at Sparrow. "Have you noticed some changes in your body like getting better eyesight during the day or night?"
Sparrow deliberated in his head before he nodded in confusion. "I have seemed to feel that way." He looked nervously at Kisha, wanting to consult something, he only continued when he saw her nodding in his direction. "I can also feel my footsteps getting lighter."
"Which means?" Duke stared at Kisha, probing for an answer. He had a conclusion in his head but he needs to confirm it with Kisha.
"This change is the indication of his talent and gift."
"His awakened ability?"
"It is greatly associated with his awakened ability. Talent and gift are perpendicular to awakened abilities, but not all awakened have them. It is highly likely linked to a person's potential." She pointed at Sparrow. "In his case, he awakened the wind ability and was also gifted a hawk eye, which compliments his talent in reconnaissance."
Understanding her point and what she wanted Sparrow to do, he answered. "If that's the case, it is indeed our best choice to send him without alerting the enemies."
Sparrow was wondering when he mentioned his awakened ability to Kisha? But unlike him, Duke had an epiphany about Kisha's ability. He did not pry any more than necessary and directly agreed to send Sparrow out on a mission together with Vulture as a safety measure.
He has many enemies and this is sure a great chance for them to strike, his expression doesn't look angry but inside his head, he was already planning how he would skew and torture his enemies so that they would regret that they did not die out there and instead decided to provoke him. He was not called a tyrant for no reason.
Feeling his growing blood thirst, she tapped his shoulder and consoled him. "It's better not to have any news than having bad news, doesn't it?"
Seeing the worry in her eyes and the gentleness in her voice, his bloodthirst dispersed and he returned a smile to assure her that he was now feeling better.
But they did not stop getting busy, they quickly sprang into action to check all possible locations where they could be hiding.
A lot of possibilities and outcomes had already crossed inside Duke's head, his brain was running a few miles in seconds and Kisha felt bad for him. She knew that this must be the tragedy that happened to Duke in her past life. She did not pry much about it because Duke never wanted to reminisce about his past that much, he would always try to avoid the discussion when the topic was brought up.
Who amongst the people who survive the apocalypse does not have a tragic life? Everyone has, and she fully understands it but she doesn't want Duke to experience the same tragic end he had experienced before, this is what she owes him.
She is determined to help Duke find and rescue his family, so she asks 008 to look for an item that can be used to track people without concern about the cost, she would keep the item aside for emergencies. 008 understood how much sacrifice Duke made for its host that's why it did not oppose the idea even when it knew how hard it would be to gain those points back and immediately went into action in searching in his vast sales channel.
After leaving 008 in charge of the item, she excused herself and let Hawk lead her to her room, not forgetting to remind him to keep her updated about the investigation.
Once she felt Hawk's presence getting further, she closed the door and made sure that it was locked before she turned to her system interface. She opened her Territory pack, and what greeted her was a holographic version of the mountain and vast forest, floating in front of her.
She felt the novelty of the futuristic and magical vibe it presents. She savored the feeling for a bit before she started studying it, she could zoom in and out of any place she desired and the infrastructure was very life-like, so she poked it a little, right after her action, a notification popped up.
[Do you want to place the territory in the chosen location?]
Just below the message were the buttons.
[Accept] or [Decline]
After clicking accept, the interface showed a loading page and just after 5 minutes, the holographic map showed a green flag where the building was and it was surrounded by a dome-like grid that expanded to the whole valley which is a hundred thousand square meters in size.
She then tried to click the green flag and another option showed.
[Territory Management]
[Territory Upgrade]
[Relocate]
She giggles like a child as she busied herself getting familiar with her new toy.
As time passed by, her brows started to crease in dissatisfaction. It turns out, that her subspace facilities did not offer 100 acres per facility but it will start from 1 acre and will only increase little by little through an upgrade. So what she saw before was the fully upgraded version and if she wanted to upgrade it over 100 acres, then, she needed to buy the territory upgrade that cost 500,000 points.
"So that's what it meant when it says upgradable?!" She mumbles through gritted teeth. But she could not do anything anymore since she already bought it. She then clicked the
Territory's status window again.
[Territory Pack (Divine Grade)]
1 acre of land (subspace type - upgradable)
1 acre of pond (subspace type - upgradable) Full
1 acre Salt Marine Tank (subspace type - upgradable) Full
1 acre of orchard (subspace type - upgradable) Full
1 acre of rainforest (subspace type - upgradable)
Poultry (subspace type - upgradable) Full
Pigpen (subspace type - upgradable) Full
Cow shed (subspace type - upgradable) Full
Show more ...
As she scanned through the interface, she noticed that some facilities were full so she checked the upgrade requirement, and she was relieved to see that it only required 1000 points to upgrade to level 2, so she upgraded the pond first and was instantly infuriated when it only increases to 2 acre after the upgrade and it was still showing full!
In the end, she used up 100,000 points to upgrade all facilities needed.
[Territory Pack (Divine Grade)]
1 acre of land (subspace type - upgradable)
15 acres of pond (subspace type - upgradable)
10-acre Salt Marine Tank (subspace type - upgradable)
15 acres of orchard (subspace type - upgradable)
1 acre of rainforest (subspace type - upgradable)
Level 12 Poultry (subspace type - upgradable)
Level 13 Pigpen (subspace type - upgradable)
Level 15 Cow shed (subspace type - upgradable)
Show more ...
She inhaled and exhaled deeply as she tried to repeatedly tell herself that it was useful and no need to be stingy with points. Once she had fully calmed down her aching heart, she started looking at the holographic map to decide where she would place the facilities so that others could help her tend to the livestock.
After forming a plan in her head, she started to get busy again while waiting for news from Sparrow and Co.
