"Cover all the windows and everyone should stay indoors."

"If you have anything to cover yourself with. Use it, the cold is getting worse every second. Don't stay too far from your partner. And if you don't have any partner, cuddle in groups." Nasir's commanding voice echoed throughout the floor as he moved from one floor to another.

He was wrapped in a bundle of clothes trying to withstand the chilling atmosphere. Yet, the trembling of his hand and the clattering of teeth made it visible how deadly the weather had turned.

No one dares to joke with the announcement. A campfire was lit inside every room while every window was covered with clothes and other viable materials.

The continuous dropping of weather temperature was alarming as the rate at which people were getting colds was over the roof.

"If this continued, we would all die." A young man said as he rubbed his palm together.

A group of people sat around a burning fire as cold turbid air escaped from their mouths. This was the second group that joined the camp.

Each of the strong men left their room to gather in Howard's room for an urgent meeting.

"There is nothing we can do? I believe the king is doing everything possible to save every one of us." Howard said.

"How do we know?" Another man said with a frown.

"You should know by the provision of resources they gave us. What do you think will happen if we don't join their camp?" Ashley said as she sent a piercing gaze toward the young man.

Since the previous battle, she had developed a sense of belonging to the camp. Though it can't be said with others.

Only the three of them knew how much sacrifice was made to acquire the necessary supplies. And seeing some ignorant people questioning the ability of the people protecting them left a bitter taste in her mouth.

The young man looked at Ashley and snorted. He knew he couldn't defeat her in a battle and her position in the group was higher than him.

"I know some of you are worried. But you just have to be patient. Moreover, there is nothing anyone could do against the continuous weather changes. Let's stay indoors and pray that it won't get any worse than this." Jordan added.

The group took a deep breath and stared directly into the burning fire as everyone was lost in thought.

In another part of the camp, the same type of meeting was going on. But they couldn't do anything against the weather as they bite the bullet and sat glumly around the campfire.

On the night floor, inside the conference room, all the camp officials were seated covered in thick clothes and gloves as four barrels at each angle of the room with blazing fire.

"The number of deaths climbed up to forty in the past hour," Nasir reported.

"The death trolls shouldn't be our major concern, but the solution to the dangerous weather that seems not to stop anytime soon," Merab said seriously.

"You are right, but we can't ignore people's death," Nasir responded.historical

"The weather is one of the problems but the real issue here is the suppression of our ability. What are we going to do if we are attacked?" Grandpa Philip asked as his gaze swept the face of those seating below him.

Hearing this, everyone inhaled deeply as fear gripped their heart. All the First Circle among them has turned into ordinary threaded people while those higher than First Circle have lost a circle.

"Then, we should pray that we won't be attacked during this period." Steven the Pipe man said as he shook his head.

"We hope so?" Nika whispered.

"Let's forget the depressing issue and let's talk about the solution. Death or no death. The weather is getting worse every minute and these fires won't be of help any longer. What should we do?" Kira said.

That is a million-dollar question.

Everyone looked at each other as they shook their heads. What could they do? The weather was too dangerous for anyone to venture onside while the suppression on their body would affect them if they fought against their enemies.

The room was quiet for a couple of minutes as no one came up with an appropriate solution.

"We should move," Susan said slowly.

Move!

All eyes turned in her direction as they looked at her with different expressions. Is she nuts!? Who dares go outside as no one could survive 1 minute under deadly ice?

Seeing the various gaze on her, Susan didn't blink as she continued.

"People are dying and the weather is getting more deadly every minute. What else to think about other than to move to a secure location.."

"And which is?" Nasir interrupted.

"Please don't interrupt me when I'm talking. " Susan gave him a cold glare before she straightened her back.

Everyone looked at the short display without any obvious change in their expression. This wasn't the first time it has happened between them. But Nasir seems to forget the cold beauty code of conduct.

Merab looked at Nasir and smirked.

'Serves you right, walking typewriter. '

"We could move to an underground shelter. I know it is dangerous but it is better than staying here with no viable solution."

'Why don't you tell me about the underground shelter.' Justin's voice echoed in Susan's head.

'It just came to my mind.' She replied.

Kira glanced at Susan and pursed her lips as she smiled.

'Little sister is yet to learn the rope of the soul-link things.' She thought.

"Get the map," Justin commanded at once.

Hearing Justin's urgent voice, Pipe man stood and rushed out of the room. While everyone looked at each other and asked with their eyes.

Are we moving?

After a couple of seconds, Pipe man returned with a big map of the city. He spread the map in front of Justin.

"Do you know where we could find the underground shelter?" Justin turned to Susan.

Susan knotted her brow as she looked at the city map for a moment. She pointed to a certain spot in the city and said,

"There should be an underground shelter in this area. But I'm not sure." She paused and looked at Justin.

'If we asked Mack. He would probably know where we could find one. ' She asked slowly.

"Go and get Mack. He's the son of a general, he should know where we could find a bunker." Justin commanded.

Nika stood and bolted out of the room. Everyone knew the decision had been made. They are moving.

"Pipe man, how is the preparation?" Justin turned to him.

"Everything is ready." He answered.

"Good. You and Susan would lead the mission." He instructed.

"Your highness, Mack is around," Nika announced.

"Enter."

Mack entered the room and looked at the face of his colleague and a deep sorrow sprouted in his heart when she saw Susan. His heart skipped as a light smile appeared on his face.

"Do you know where we could find an underground shelter?" Justin asked.

Hmm!

Mack blinked twice as he looked at the big map on the table. He moved closer to the map and studied it for some second before he pointed to a place.

"There is a bunker in these areas." He said confidently.

,m "What other places?" Justin inquired.

"Hmm. Hmm." He twisted his lips as he surveyed the map for a moment before he pointed to another location.

"There is another bunker here."

"That's too far. That's the other side of the city. We won't make it to that location in one piece." Grandpa Philip said as he knotted his brow.

Everyone nodded when they saw the other location. The risk of moving to the nearest bunker was high but bearable. But moving to the other part of the city is suicidal.

Everyone looked at Justin as they waited for his decision. The room was silenced, leaving only the cracking sound of the burning campfire in the room.

Suddenly, Justin perked his ear and his expression changed. He raised his head from the map and looked in a certain direction.

'Don't tell me it's what I'm thinking.' Kira's trembling voice echoed in Justin's head.

'What's going on.' Susan asked with concern.

"Pipe man, you know what to do.."

"Mack gets the defense team to secure the people."

"Nasir, control the people to follow the Pipeman. Anyone that causes any problem during this time should be killed.'

"Get all First Circle Existence and upward to meet me outside."

"We're under attack." With that, Justin stepped out of the building and left a whistling sound behind.

At once, everyone sprung to action. Susan and Kira walked out of the conference side by side without uttering a word.

'Did he tell you what he saw?' Susan asked.

'No. But whatever it was is something very dangerous. I hope we survive this battle in one piece.'

Hearing this, a frown appeared on Susan's face. She looked at Kira and wanted to talk but was beaten to it by her.

'Little sister, take care of yourself.' Kira giggled as she scurried away.

Susan wanted to retort but when she saw her backside of Kira, a light smile appeared on her face.

At the entrance of the camp, Justin stood straight like a pole as he looked in the distance. Behind him was a group of people, shivering slightly as they circulated their ability to give them warmth.

Boom!

A deafening sound came from the distance as a large leg moved toward their direction, destroying everything on its path.

Seeing this, a notification appeared before Justin.
