Chapitre 12: Creation of Home Base (Part-1) (Fixed)

Ciara looked at the prone form of Ryan as she kicked him hard, "If you have time to lie down there you have time to stand up and fight."

Ryan groaned as he picked himself up he was caked in dirt and had bruised all about his body as he shakily stood up he spoke with anger, "That was dirty."

CIara tilted her head as she spoke, "So what I am teaching to stay alive and in real world there is no referee there are no rules there are only two outcomes either you are the winner or you are the loser and you know full well what would happen if you are the loser."

Ryan had a grim look on his face as he spoke, "I understand but…", whatever he was going to say was cut off courtesy of a kick by his mother as she spoke with a mocking edge in her tone, "Did I tell the poor little no good baby lamb that the training session was over."

Ryan for the first time hated his mother, they way she was treating him was infuriated to him not to mention the dirty tricks she was employing while fighting him and Ryan hated they way she was doing such, she was taunting him, tricking and every time slipped up she pounded him to the ground mercilessly and then forced him to stand up and fight again.

If his coach Mr. Sullivan was definition of elegance and being gentleman during his fight his mother was like a rabid wolf that tore through her enemy mercilessly, fitting for the woman who led the pack of wolves, Ryan laid on the ground without moving and as his mother approach his left hand suddenly moved as he threw fist full of dust at her face, making Ciara cover her eyes as Ryan jumped up at her only for her dodge him nad move in a surprising show of agility as she held him down by twisting his right behind his back and holding his neck in a vice grip, she then pulled his left leg back with her left one making him fall to the ground face first as she placed her knee over his throat and soon lack of oxygen made him pass out.

Ciara picked him up flinging him over her shoulder as she walked towards the camp, during the entire time the rest of her squad did not even bat an eyelid as she sauntered in back into their base while the few civilians watched him looked at her fearfully they had never seen someone being so violent in the name of training, as she entered one of them could not help but ask, "Are you not his mother then why are you being so hard with him?"

Ciara merely spared a glance before she spoke in a bored tone, "I am being hard on him because I am his mother, he might bleed a little now and save himself bleeding a lot later.", with that she moved past as a small frown appeared on her brow, 'I am now even providing answers for my actions to civilians I might really be bored to do so.'

She then went and deposited Ryan in what was being dubbed as the medic hut as Nikita quickly went over Ryan checking for his injuries as she looked over him for a minute before she spoke, "Well the bruise would take some time but otherwise he is fine."

Ciara nodded at that as she left the hut, as she stepped outside she was greeted by Zhan, "Major all the stuff needed by Ryan has been brought here."

Ciara looked at the large pile as she nodded at that as she spoke, "Good work, make sure the teams get enough rest and food for their excellent work."

Zhan nodded as she spoke, "So how was Ryan's training?"

Ciara raised her hand as she made a so-so motion as she spoke with a sigh, "Fencing although has taught him to be well balanced it has also made him a bit concerned about rules and regulation to point as if he was waiting for some invisible referee to get in between when he has the opponent down, it is mess."

Zhan snorted at that as she spoke, "Well we were like him at first at least he knows how to throw a punch or two."

Ciara nodded at that as spoke with a sigh, "That might be but that is not enough it is not the world we know about as everything and anything has changed for the worse, gone are the days when a bullet to the head would kill anyone, hell nowadays bullets are useless."

Zhan sighed at that as she spoke, "So true.", they both looked forward towards the rest of their soldier who were busy patrolling on top of the wall or gossiping with each other, Ciara could see Michalina talking with her fellow sister-in-arms well more like gossiping about one thing or another.

As Zhan's eyes swept passed them she could not help but ask, "Ciara do you think the fort that Ryan would be building would protect us?"

Ciara snorted at that as she spoke, "No"

Zhan was taken aback as could not help but exclaim with a bewildered look on her face, "What?!"

Ciara smiled at her as she spoke, "Is there any place on our planet that could absolutely boast complete protection, you saw what happened a few weeks ago."

Zhan rolled her eyes at that as she spoke, "I so do not wish for an argument in philosophy."

Ciara smiled at her tiredly as she spoke, "Ryan's creation has much much better chance at keeping us alive for the time being but the way things are going sooner rather than later we would need even more stronger more sturdier shelter to survive."

Zhan nodded at that as she spoke, "Well the latest blueprint looked a lot promising than the previous one, and speaking of blueprints did you see Ruby's face when Ryan pulled the one that was meant for scientific research and had rejected it, it was so hilarious."

Ciara snorted at that as she spoke, "Normally I would not tolerate gossiping about someone behind their back but in this case, it is different even before the apocalypse she had the mad scientist vibe going on about her and now it seemed as if Christmas came early for her.", Zhan nodded at that completely in agreement with her assessment as Ciara continued, "If it were not for her ability I would have thrown her into prison and tossed the keys into a volcano, for her everyone is a guinea pig born to satisfy her need for scientific studies."

A few hours later Ryan looked down at the map spread in front of him, even if the magnetic North and South have flipped the east and west are still the same and the map has been drawn accordingly, with the only entrance of their base in the west, to the North or the current South is good few hundred meters of land which than drops into a deep gorge that has a roaring stream in it, to the South or the current North the land slopes into ocean, to the North-East was the small lake that was a bit larger than a pond that was used to supply water, on the far east side was the town which was situated on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean.

His mother wanted the base to be build at their current location as such after studying the map intently he stood straight as he spoke, "With you permission may I begin."

Ciara nodded at that as Ryan raised his hands as his eyes glowed with electric blue color, when all of a sudden a giant holographic projection ghosted itself into existence as others took a step back unconsciously seeing themselves being surrounded by the holographic projection the little civilian girl looked as if she was about to cry.

WARNING: Base 200 meter away from Leyline.

Current Maximum Efficiency of Base upon Completion 51%

Current Maximum Performance of Base upon Completion 51%

It was something knew that Ryan had noticed since waking up, the words seemed to appear in front of his eyes along with the voice in his head in a way it was much better than before at the very least he would now not miss anything vital.

He turned towards his mother as he spoke, "Mother according to my powers if I were to construct the base at this spot it would run around at 51% percent efficiency at its peak but if I were to move 200 meters from here I would get something call a Leyline and the efficiency would increase."

Ciara frowned at that as she spoke, "I see you have my permission to achieve maximum efficiency."

Ryan nodded at that as he spoke, "Okay but it would take some time to for me to pin point it."

Ciara nodded at that as she spoke, "Go ahead."

Ryan nodded as he began to run around with the giant holographic position moving along with him as he ran various messages appeared in front of his eyes.

WARNING: Base 250 meter away from Leyline.

Current Maximum Efficiency of Base upon Completion 51%

Current Maximum Performance of Base upon Completion 51%

WARNING: Base 50 meter away from Leyline.

Current Maximum Efficiency of Base upon Completion 51%

Current Maximum Performance of Base upon Completion 51%

WARNING: Base directly above Leyline.

Current Maximum Efficiency of Base upon Completion 51%

Current Maximum Performance of Base upon Completion 51%

Ryan was standing at a position 200 meters to the northwest side of his initial location and was disappointed the maximum he managed was still 51% making him sigh only for additional words to prop up in front of his eyes, words that were like always since its first appearance only visible to him.

Scanning of Leyline....

Leyline Junction detected….

Nexus Confirmed

Grade 5 Nexus Confirmed

Calculating New Parameters...

Current Maximum Efficiency of Base upon Completion 120% (+20% Due to being Junction of 5 Leylines)

Current Maximum Performance of Base upon Completion 120% (+20% Due to being Junction of 5 Leylines)

Use Nexus to supply Energy to Construct the Base (Yes/No)

Ryan's eyes widen at that as his face broke into a glee, not only it was 100% but it was further enhanced by 20% due to it being a junction of Leylines or as it was aptly called Grade 5 Junction not to mention he could use its power to create base and here he was worrying on how to create with his paltry energy.

Ryan did not waste any time as he quickly agreed with the notion of using the Leyline as a mean to supplement for energy.

Construction Site for Base selected Construction Commencing........

The holographic image changed from light blue to Green before a warning flashed in front of his eyes.

WARNING: No Construction Resource Found Construction Paused.

Ryan eyes widen slightly as he turned to look at others who were looking at him with expectantly as he shouted toward, "Hurry we need to carry the resources to the base location or it will not begin to form."

Ryan noticed a few of them had their face gained a sour look on their face as they were soon ordered to follow Ryan's words as they all quickly made their way towards the rubble they had gathered from breaking almost clearing out the entire town, Ryan himself seeing that the holographic image still green and in place decided to offer his help to those who were carrying the rubbles that they had procured.

The first load came and to their utter amazement it was simply snatched from their hands crossed the ghostly walls stated shining and morphing into something that was then went underneath the surface, the duo who carried it looked at each other as others arrived shortly thereafter and soon to their amazement similar situation took place and a few minutes later it had changed to a game of sorts for them as they laughed and giggled while flinging and doing all sorts of things with the rubbles in their hands, even the civilians seemed to join in that.

Ryan had a small smile in his face as he flung a pan that went straight across the wall transforming into a metal sheet before it joined with the small structure that peeked from the ground below, but unknown to others he could see something that they could not and that was the rate of completion they were already at 79% percent mark.

A few hours and lots of laughter and joy later a giant fort stood in front of them in all glory, the exterior of the base seemed to have been painted by 'Desert Tigerstripe Camouflage Pattern' its tall walls spanning around it was as high as 15 meters and in the midst of it was a building that was at the very least 20 meters in height, the wall itself had towers present on it, as it formed a circle of radius of 150 meters with the central building itself being a cylinder of over 50 meters, the top of which seemed to be hold radar and communication towers and antennas.

Two giant sliding doors of 10 meters height were present on east and west side, with a small covered structure directly on top of it as present Ryan knew it was the gate control, Ryan turned towards his mother as he spoke with a grin, "So did you like it?"

Ciara tilted her head slightly as she spoke with a smile, "From the outside it looks sturdy not to mention the 3 meters thick wall that surrounded the forts is a nice addition, though I will hold on to my remarks till I have had better view of the inside."

Ryan nodded at that before he got a serious look in his face, "Well but the most important part is step is still left for us to accomplish."

Ciara frowned as she spoke, "And what is that Ryan?"

Ryan beamed at her as he spoke, "Why of course we have to name our new home."

Upon hearing that many people had their eyes widen slightly as a grin formed in their face, after so many weeks of struggle they would finally step into what would be a shelter for them, a place where they could at least stay safe for the time being and truly such a place needed a new name.

Ciara closed her eyes and mulled over it for a moment before she spoke with a smile, "It is the day for a new beginning for all of us, a day that our lives will turn for the better as such Genesis, Fort Genesis, how does it sound?"

Ryan frowned for a moment before he spoke with a smile, "I like it Name Base as 'Genesis.'", his words seemed to send some form of ripple through the air as the words suddenly appeared as the words Genesis seemed to form in bright white letters just at the right side of the door.

As Ryan looked at it he smiled excitedly as he spoke, "I think we should go and inspect the inside of our new home."
