What's the situation in Novemton? I need specifics," Adrian calmly said as he sat down.Steel reported, "We can only defend half the city with our current forces, so we've built walls around the city to stop the monsters from entering. These walls were created with concrete and steel rebars, making them quite strong. But due to the limited time and resources we have, we weren't able to build the walls that are taller and stronger.”Steel sounded slightly embarrassed at that last statement. He had done all this within a few days, and it was the best he could do based on his abilities and the resources they had. "You've done well. However, we can no longer determine how long we can defend Novemton. We need to think further. So—"Steel interrupted, "Are you saying we need to be prepared to live in Novemton for the long term?""Correct. So, we need to defend this city. We need to reinforce our walls and redevelop the place. Once that's done, we can figure out a way to defeat the Crea

Adrian's actions made Steel believe even more firmly there was hope for them. "Sir, I trust that War Legate Dominus and the other youngsters will one day accomplish this grand mission on your behalf." "Steel, allow me to introduce you to a friend. You could also say that she's our ancestor," Adrian said with a smile, which left Steel confused. A woman with slender legs walked into the room. She was one of the most beautiful women Steel had ever laid eyes on. Her mature temperament even left him feeling dazed for a moment. "Who's this, sir?" Rozi calmly sat down on the couch. Over the past few days, she had grown accustomed to living in this modern world.Adrian replied, "This is Abioye Rozi. Rozi is the Partingian princess from a thousand and two hundred years ago.” "What?!" Steel was so astonished that he staggered backward.A thousand and two hundred years?Color began to drain from Steel's face as he asked, "Are you kidding me, sir? She's a thousand and two hundred ye

Steel picked up the stone and took a closer look at it. "Isn't this a meteorite from Isle 416? But there's something different about this one… It's got these textures on it.""We got that from the monsters," Adrian said. "Why would something like this be found within the monsters?"Steel was thoroughly shocked. Everything he thought he knew about the world was being overturned. First, there was a woman who was over a thousand years old, and she was a Partingian princess from a country that had long since perished. Now, there was the stone of strange origins in front of him.Sensing Steel's confusion, Adrian said, "The meteorites have a powerful effect that affects and mutates the human genome but does not kill them. Let's put it this way. If a person was unable to control their mutation, they'd end up like Gloria. They would ultimately die if they didn’t receive treatment. However, as each individual's physique is different, some end up dead from the mutation while others undergo

“Runemasters?""That's right. It was a popular profession, and these people forged all sorts of weapons using said runes. This allowed them complete control over the weapon."Steel shook his head, unable to comprehend the true power behind the profession. Rozi was saying these few engravings would allow an immortal control over an item? That sounded unbelievable.Rozi struggled to explain this in modern terms, so Adrian said, "Those runes are similar to our blood circulatory system. Immortals infused their powers into these runes. This is similar to the blood being pumped through our veins, allowing us control over specific limbs. On top of that, there are all sorts of runes, each with its own password. It's like our safety boxes that can't be opened unless we know the password.""How are these passwords defined then?" Steel asked. "It's similar to QR codes or number passwords. They can be activated through different degrees of power, how frequently those powers are infused, the

“Also, I need you to mobilize technicians to get our electric generators up and running so that we have electricity running through the city.""Okay." Adrian turned around and continued, "I need another group to collect all the building materials we can find to build more walls and expand our territory. When we have electricity, we need to build greenhouses to grow plants.“And one more thing. Do everything you can to restore the factories in the city. Focus on those that can be of help to us. For example, factories that manufacture equipment, ammunition, weapons, and armor. I want all advanced weaponry to be revamped. We need more firepower around the city.""Yes, sir," Steel responded. "Steel, these are extremely important tasks, so I need you to complete them no matter what. We only have one shot at this, so we can't afford to fail.""I swear on my life that I will not let you down, sir.""All right. Go gather the scientists and academicians. I'd like to have a conference w

Rozi fell silent. She wanted to head over to Mount Shangspar more than anyone since it was the resting place of her family. However, she knew she needed to focus on the bigger picture.***Adrian proceeded to familiarize himself with Novemton's situation from the Department, burning everything he had learned into his mind. He then came up with a unique plan. He decided to create a new Novemton, and the survivors would be his weapon to start this new prosperous age. He wanted to see how the Creator was going to retaliate against this plan of his. Steel spent the afternoon gathering academicians, scientists, medics, and researchers. There were a large number of them among the five hundred thousand survivors. These elites gathered within the Department's conference room. Hugh walked into the conference room with two men in their sixties beside him. "Sir Draco, my name is Hugh Shephard. I was Monarch Crystal's subordinate,” Hugh introduced himself since that was their first time me

“Mortimer's right, sir. All our information, records, and equipment are back at the office. We need to access our lab to start back up the research," Hodge implored. Hugh frowned. "Sir, their office is about fifteen kilometers away from our walls and it’s filled with monsters. And those particular monsters are ferocious. It won't be an easy task to reach the office."Adrian knew how important getting to the laboratory was. However, even if they did manage to get there, there was no guarantee the records and data were still intact. Thus, there was only one option now."Hugh, starting today, I want you and Steel to take up separate roles. Steel will be in charge of rebuilding Novemton and its defenses, while you're in charge of re-establishing our electricity supply and online systems. You have three days to accomplish your task. Can you do it?"After pondering for a moment, Hugh replied, "I can get the electricity back up and running. Although the cables are pretty badly damaged, w
Chapter 1653
Adrian was slightly discouraged. He surmised it would be hard for the monsters to siege Novemton if they could rig the city's surroundings with high-voltage electricity, but based on current technology, it was an impossible task.Hugh then said, "However, we could adapt your strategy by rigging the city with high-voltage electricity as a final resort. Should we fail to defend the city, we could activate this electrical defense as an insurance policy."Adrian did not comment on the matter, thinking that it was something for a later time. What Hugh needed to focus on was providing electricity to the city and re-establishing an Internet connection. Novemton would prosper once those two things were done. "Start repairing the signal tower, Hugh. I'll have Steel send out a team to assist you. They'll make sure you and your team are safe should you all run into any danger. Remember, you have to succeed in your mission.”"Yes, sir." Adrian then gestured for Hugh to get to work. He turne
