My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse
Chapter 106 Lightning Wrapper

"What the hell is going on?" A voice asked no one in particular.

Around him was a group of people with worried expressions on their faces. They whispered among themselves but no one could understand what the hell was going on.

The shelter won't be locked down without any obvious reason. The defense team was deployed, guarding the entrance, and were fully armed.

Nasir appeared on the podium and cleared his throat. At once, the crowd kept quiet and fixed their gaze on him.

"I know some of you are worried about the sudden lockdown. But you should all know, we won't put the camp on lockdown without reason." He paused and looked at the faces of the worried crowd.

Most of them were the new group that joined the camp from the previous savage camp. So it is understandable that they were scared.

"We detected some danger outside. And we want everyone's safety. So please stay inside and wait for further instructions from the defense team. " Nasir announced.

"What type of danger?" A middle-aged man shouted.

"The one that you can't resolve?" Nasir answered without looking at the man.

"Now, everyone is moving." He commanded and his voice raised an octave.

Over three hundred people murmured and left the ground floor. Some of them looked at the departing back of Nasir with different expressions on their faces.

On the ninth floor, Justin stood by the window and looked at the city. His instinct was telling him something major would happen soon.

But he couldn't pinpoint where it would happen or where it would happen.

"How is weapon crafting going?" Justin asked, turning his head to look at Steven.

"Your highness, it is going on well. With the last batch of beasts. Miss Chloe has come up with various combinations which are under testing. I believe we will have a standard weapon very soon. " Steven the pipe man replied.

"That's good to hear. How about the vehicle modification?"

"Going more smoothly than expected. With the new group joining us. Our labor force has increased." Steven paused to arrange his thoughts with a smile on his face.

"We've processed the beast skin as a defense for the modification for the vehicle part. Although we don't have enough equipment to speed up the process, we're getting there. In a day or two, we should have a standard defense vehicle that an ordinary zombie and First Circle beast or zombie won't be able to breach their defense." He declared with confidence.

"Good to know." A smile appeared on Justin's face.

'At least, we are progressing. Whatever happens in the future, we will be ready by then.' He thought with a slight hope in his heart.

"Your highness, there are things we wanted to discuss with you?" Nika announced slowly.

Everyone in the conference room fixed their gaze on Nika's face. What did he want to discuss with the king? They thought.

"I'm all ears." Justin looked at him.

"We need a lot of machines and other equipment for our survival. Food and others won't help us in the long run." Nika said.

Justin didn't respond. He walked slowly to the center table and took his seat.

"I know. The setback is why I haven't announced the mission. Besides, the new people in our midst need to integrate successfully before we start any mass movement." He said slowly.

Everyone in the room nodded their heads. They understood the reasons and looked at him to continue.

"I know food and clothes won't last and I have prepared. When those outside come back. Then, we begin a full sweep of the city. "

"Prepare a full list of the most important things we need." He commanded.

Nika smiled and got up but Justin raised his hand to stop him. Seeing this, everyone looked at him, not knowing why he raised his hand.

"Wait a bit. Let Nasir and Chloe join us. I want to tell you something." He said calmly.

"Alright." Nika nodded and took his seat.

Shortly, Chloe and Nasir entered the room and took their seats. Albeit a bead of sweat appeared on Chloe's forehead.

"I told you the world is changing rapidly. But some of you didn't understand the gravity of it." Justin said slowly and brought out a weapon.

It was the Wind Blade Saber.

Everyone in the room fixed their gaze on the saber. After staring at the saber for a couple of seconds, none of them could understand the materials used in making the weapon.

"Can I ask where you get it, sir?" Chloe asked slowly.

"From the beast?"

For a couple of seconds, everyone didn't believe what they just heard. But they knew Justin wouldn't joke about something like that.

"When I kill the three third Circle Beast. They drop three red orbs. And inside I got this and this." He brought out the movement skill and placed it beside the saber.

He pointed at the saber and said. "This is a wind saber and could be used by anyone but it is best used with a wind ability user. While this…" H pointed at the scroll.

"Is a movement skill and could be used two times."

Justin paused a couple of seconds and let the gravity of the information sink into their brain.

"Chloe I will give you this weapon for you to study for a while. It belongs to Lola." He threw the saber to her.

"And this movement skill…" He paused and raised his brow for a moment before he stood from his seat.

'What happened.' Kira asked through their soul link.

'I detect something.' He responded.

Outside the shelter, three men rushed out front of the Humvee while one of the men carried an injured man covered in blood.

They rushed inside the shelter at a rapid pace. The men guarding the shelter stared at the men in shock.

"We need to talk to the king!? One of the men shouted.

"I'm here. What happened" Justin appeared in front of the three injured men.

Quickly, the men narrated what happened to him in one breath. When everyone on the ground floor heard what happened. Fear gripped their heart and they stared at Justin.

"Chloe, send them to the med bay," Justin commanded with a frown on his face.

"Nika tightened the defense and waited for my return. Kira follows me." With that, he left the shelter in a large stride.

As they came out of the shelter, Kira didn't dilly dally. She made a hand gesture and a golden circle appeared in front of her.

This was her beast space.

Caw!

The Flesh eating crow appeared slowly and looked at Kira. Quickly, she communicates with the crow and it lowers its body.

Immediately, Justin and Kira got on the back of the beast and took off.

…

The hidden warehouse.

Ah!

A miserable cry came out of Susan's mouth. She crawled on the ground, leaving a trail of blood behind. Her breathing was frantic and a sharp cut appeared on her chest to her waist.

Her purple long robe was dyed red. Her right arm sustained a sword injury, showing its white bones.

She forced herself to a sitting position and stared at the three hordes in front of her. The three hordes had various injuries on their bodies. But they were all fleshy injuries.

'What sort of monster are these?' Susan cried in her heart.

She exhaled and inhaled slowly and forced herself to stand. She knew she was the only line of defense obstructing these hordes from massacring the remaining group.

She stood valiantly and faced the three hordes. She held her whip with her left arm.

The howling of wind blew her torn clothes and her disheveled hair. Nevertheless, her enchanting beauty didn't diminish. Moreover, her ragged appearance made her look pitiful and made people want to protect her at all costs.

Two golden circles appeared on her head and flickered for a moment and a lightning spark appeared deep in her eyes.

"&^%$&" One of the hordes said and grinned. He picks up speed, raising his sword to finish her in one attack.

Susan looked at the incoming attack without any fear or lingering thought.

'This is me.' She thought. And immediately, she unlocked a skill.

"Lightning wrapper." She said slowly.

Her whip danced forward and a bolt of lightning flashed out of the whip and lashed at the horde, covering the short distance in a blink.

Bang!

The horde was thrown backward and crashed into the nearby building. Smokes came out of the buildings and no one knew whether the horde was dead or alive.

Thud!

Susan fell on her knee and looked at the effect of her new skill with a brilliant smile on her beautiful purple dyed red lips.

"Beautiful." She muttered silently.

Howl!

The two howled in fury and rushed toward Susan. Their muscles bulge and their skin hardens. They swing their weapon toward the defenseless Susan at a breathtaking speed.

Susan watches the incoming strike while smiling.

"Why are you smiling?" A voice said from the sky.
