The Villain's Little Cat

Who would like to listen at such consoling words that didn’t sound like consoling words at all? Instead, he would feel as if there was a knife that was about to be inserted into his heart.

Dylan looked at Jake. “Work hard.”

Jake: “…” Did I not work hard enough.

Kyle laughed lightly when he saw his friends were dissing each other. He knocked on the floor since there was no furniture inside yet and they were all sitting on the ground. “The building progress is not going to be finished so early. Next week, we’ll begin to roam around and deal with these giant mutated animals around again.”

“Next week?” Lotte was surprised. “Why are you giving us a week’s off?”

Knowing Kyle’s style, Lotte was more inclined to believe that Kyle would just force them to rush through so that they could deal with these giant mutated animals faster. Anyway, the more giant mutated animals they killed, the more resources they could get in the name of crystals that could be used to make them grow stronger.

But this time, Kyle actually told them that they would only depart one week from now. This make her feel a bit suspicious.

After all, he would never do that in the past.

.....

“Yeah, anything special that makes you want to stay here? I still want to get stronger faster.” Jake was a bit dissatisfied.

He wanted to get stronger faster, especially because now his resources would be divided with that dog. No matter what, he couldn’t let that dog took all of his resources so easily.

“You can settle your marriage with your wife, first, Jake.”

Jake was stunned while Lotte’s face was as red as tomato.

In the next moment, Jake howled, “I haven’t made the proposal yet! You’re ruining my moment, Kyle!”

Kyle rolled his eyes. “I’m just giving an example. If you don’t want to, you can do other things when you’re still here. In any case, it will be next week that we’re going to depart.”

Marc looked at the others with mischievous light. For some time, he felt that the group was able to be quite fun. “Well, we’ll be able to participate in the construction, so I guess that will be also a help for us if we can understand the map?”

“Map?” Jake caught the key point and thought about something. “Are you worried that these people will dare to dig deeper?”

“I’m going to build underground cities, but before that, I’ll need you to make sure that the foundation is stable here.”

“Here…” Jake was speechless. He could estimate that Kyle wanted to build the so called underground city in this place, right under the research institute.

“Under the research institute and the military base. We’re going to build an underground city and at the top of it had to be something that couldn’t be broken so easily by these awakened people.”

“Diamonds?” Jake asked uncertainty.

The others were staring at him speechlessly. While it was indeed true that neither one of them and people out there who could control gems such as diamond, but they were going to be broke if they had to collect so many of these diamonds and then used them as the wall in their base.

Who could afford it?

Not to mention, where were they supposed to go and find these diamonds?

It was not realistic.

“Try to be more realistic. Concrete couldn’t be moved easily if I’m not wrong, so we can use it at the outer layer as the first defense. Besides, steel and some special type of metals should be also existing.”

“There’s also the materials that had been modified structurally. It’s not impossible to use them, but we need to find some that can be built within the short limited time when we’re still here.”

Lotte was speechless. “There are some old devices at the other building that had been gathered. But it’s not known whether they can still be used or not.”

Dylan thought for a moment. “The circuits.”

“I’ll definitely make the circuits for protection, but this project is estimated to last quite long. For the time being, you should make the seventh floor below first, Jake.”

“Seventh floor?” Jake felt that his world was spinning. Estimating that each floor would be three meters, it meant that Kyle wanted him to dig at least 25 meters to the ground? That would be quite long and not easily made.

But well, there were indeed some technology that they could use for this.

“That’s not going to be easy.” Marc looked below him and sighed deeply.

“We’ll live here temporarily, so the floor so the door should be built from this training room.”

Jake: “…” Have you forgotten that this is previously my room?

Seeing that the others just nodded at Kyle’s words, Jake sighed and felt that he was indeed the easiest to ignore. When the others wanted to take his room, it seemed that he could do nothing but to follow their words like this.

He felt that the next time, he had to make sure that his room was not occupied by others. That way, no one could snatch his room again!

Of course, if the one who snatched it is Lotte, he would have nothing to say.

In fact, he would definitely let her in and if possible, ask her to stay in the room together….

*cough*

That was getting further and further away from the main conversation.

“Fine.” Jake gave up.

“Ok.” Marc also agreed. Anyway, his task was to help them build the underground shelter, right? It shouldn’t be that hard as long as there was a way for them to do it.

“Aside from that, there are several other infrastructures that….”

The group talked a bit more about the things that they were going to do for the next few days. The more they talked, the more things piled up in front of them. They could only sigh at Kyle’s ability to assign more task for them.
