I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

533 Let's Dig The Capital!



I didn’t wait for too long actually. In less than two hours, and just as the rays of the suns were close to shine bright, the ground down below was dyed all red.

“It’s time,” I said before controlling my chariot and releasing the beam wave. “Let’s start farming!”

I shouted and during the next minutes, farmers down below started to plant the seeds.

I saw many just throwing the seeds around, while others went to plant the seeds manually.

Whatever they used, they had to get it done before the suns’ rise.

It didn’t take long before the group of our suns appeared high in the sky. And with the sudden shine of light that dominated Earth,

“What now?” Hilary was anxiously watching what was going on.

“Let’s give the suns the chance to do their magic,” I said before adding with a grin, “after all we needed water, energy, and sun rays for any plant to grow, right?”

I didn’t know if she noticed it or not, but the ground that was dyed red before started to show a faint lustre of orange colour.

It meant the ground was absorbing the energy of the sun, storing it up. And that was how even in dark times, the plants never died..

“This…” she finally noticed, “the ground… It’s changing!!!” she turned to me while I simply shrugged.

“Now what?”

“Now? We just left the job for the experienced folks here,” I said as with this, the farming problem was solved.

“That’s… It?!” she asked in much doubt.

“What? Isn’t that show enough for you?” I raised both of my eyebrows. What was this girl waiting for? A magic show of fireworks and magically the plants would grow and yield?

“…”

She seemed to get totally absorbed in watching my magic tricks to wait for more. Sorry chick, the show was over.

“Let’s go back,” I commanded my chariot to descend, looking for Angelica before finding her standing beside the big basin.

Even when she filled millions of bottles, the basin was still filled with red liquid.

It wasn’t deep sparkling red like before, only faint red that even showed the depth of the basin.

Yet the deeper one looked, the darker the red colour became.

“Our work is done here,” I shouted at her, “gather up your men and let’s return together.”

She and her elites did such a marvellous job here. So it just felt right to let them return while boarding my chariot.

“What about here?” she asked, letting me feel she was the same as Hilary.

“We are done here, just let the experts do their work,” I said while adding, “let’s go back together.”

“Ok.”

They boarded my chariot and came on board while Angelica stood by my side alongside Hilary.

“This…” even when we returned back to the capital, Hilary was still shocked. Unlike Angelica, who seemed to enjoy this as a magic show, Hilary knew how hard it was to achieve this feat.

“Don’t think too much about it,” I said, “the apocalypse is so damn huge. Many secrets are there for all of us to unveil.”

“Then… What’s now?” Angelica asked.

“You found workers, right?” I paused while letting my chariot descend to the ground.

“We have lots of them,” Angelica nodded.

“And we can add the normal people to help as well,” Hilary seemed to read through my mind.

“Do what?” but Angelica didn’t get what the two of us were talking about.

“We can use their help, but…” I paused when I noticed Isac coming on board at this moment, “we need ores, strong enough to make the foundation of our new capital.”

“We can fetch people to look for that around,” Isac came and added, “any world in the apocalypse will have rich resources.”

“I know, but…” I turned to look at the two girls, “how many miners do we have?”

“Miners? Not that much… Around a couple tens of thousands I recall…” Hilary looked at Angelica who said with obvious hesitation.

“Hmm… Might work,” I knew that depending on such numbers alone wasn’t going to do us any good.

But how do we think when we have the market? We could buy a lot of gear and items to help these people do their task.

“Do you have a list of materials in your mind?” I opened the market and started another spree of purchasing. It just felt too good to have such wealth and power.

“I have,” Isac answered with a strong tone.

“Tell these to these two,” I said, “then you will gather the miners, distribute these things over to them before spreading them around… Don’t make them search too far away.”

“We can send a group of fighters with them,” Hilary proposed.

“Not a bad idea, but we have to assign people to fetch the ores back here,” I finished buying lots of gears before taking them out.

“These will help,” I said, “also we need to start digging and preparing the place here.”

“Digging?” Angelica was surprised, but Hilary wasn’t.

“I’ll arrange for normal people to do this… But we lack the needed designs to do so.”

“Isac…”

“Here,” Isac handed the pile of papers she took before to Hilary.

“No, this won’t work,” I knew Hilary was capable of reading such detailed drawings. But it would be more suitable for the one who did it to be present and supervise over the whole process, “you will handle this task.”

“Me?”

“Him?”

Isac and Hilary spoke at the same time, making me inwardly laugh.

“Yes, he will handle this. After all she was the one who drew everything. Ah, I just planted a big deal of land outside. Make sure to add more defences there to help and secure what we are growing.”

“I already did that,” Isac seemed to get herself busy during the past hours I didn’t see her in.

“Good job,” I patted on her shoulder as if I was patting on the spearhead or Leo, “keep doing it.”

“Uhm,” she nodded, seemingly baffled by what I just did. Oh girl, you should muster your act a little more, especially in front of such a fierce tigress.
