NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89: Base.2
But Saigai wasn't the only one who was confused because of Lorien's actions as the group of six and a small number of smart survivors who silently watched all of this transpire also felt the same, but different from Saigai's pure curiosity, they also felt somewhat relieved!
After all, no one wants to stay near someone with a god complex, that would be very dangerous, especially in these current circumstances.
Considering this, they didn't get scared because of Lorien's sudden lash out, on the contrary, they felt more comfortable staying in this place!
But Lorien knew nothing of this nor did he care as he was now resting comfortably.
"Do you hate that title?" Said Saigai who was finally unable to hold her curiosity.
"Yes, I do" Responded Lorien with his eyes still closed.
"And why is that?"
"Because I am essentially just a guy with superpowers, I clearly know what I truly am, not to mention that I don't like taking such names! I won't take it now nor will I take it even if a reach [Trancandent], [Authority], or even higher levels! "
Pausing for a moment, Lorien then continued explaining.
"What is created cannot be the creator"
"I am imperfect, I am [Human], and I'd like to stay that way..."
After saying this, Lorien stopped speaking not wanting to further explain his thoughts, and it seems that Saigai also noticed this as she then fell silent.
This silence lasted for about an hour which is the time Lorien needed to fully restore his energy.
Standing up, Lorien then started walking towards the right portion of the land which he prepared for the Villa.
His movements also attracted the attention of the survivors who were right now very sensitive.
But not caring about their eyes, Lorien placed his hand on the concrete floor and began using his ability.
[Dream/Reality]: Change
Immediately afterward, the concrete floor was removed and replaced with grass, and in the middle of this green field, a modern medium-sized villa appeared, in front of it, a pool emerged, and at the back, flowers and trees rose up from the ground, then, a fence materialized surrounding it inside.
After doing this, Lorien then made his way to the last portion of the land, there, he used his power to create a beautiful apartment enough to house hundreds of people, he even took the time to decorate its surroundings and make a small garden in front of it!
'This should do it...'
'Now all that is left is to connect everything!'
Deciding on this, Lorien began without further ado!
Waving his hand, he first connected the power generators to the food storage facility, his villa, and the apartment!
Then, he linked the water reservoir to the villa and apartment allowing them to gain access to it!
But he didn't stop there as he then started working on the sewage and drainage system as it is quite important.
'Finally! Done!'
Finishing his work, Lorien looked around with a smile on his face, after finishing the base he was really in a good mood, moreover, this time he didn't drain his energy like last time so there was no need to rest.
After looking around one last time and making sure that there were no issues, Lorien then started walking toward Saigai with a smile on his face, but after talking a couple of steps he then stopped as if remembering something.
'Almost forgot!'
After being so focused on creating the base, Lorien had actually forgotten arguably the most important part which is security!
Quickly observing the walls surrounding the base, Lorien noted that a large portion of it is just some cross-wire fence, moreover, neither it nor the concrete wall were of a satisfactory height.
Seeing this, Lorien started walking around the perimeter transforming the walls into a 3 meters high, 2 meters thick reinforced concrete wall!
He even added stairs here and there to allow people to get on top of it so they can watch the city.
After doing this for the whole base, Lorien then walked to where the survivors are, and more precisely to where the previous front door of the school was.
There, he created a huge gate and linked it to the power generator allowing it to operate smoothly, of course, Lorien set it so only he and Saigai are able to open it for now.
Finishing this, Lorien started looking around again as he felt that something was missing, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
'Oh! I remembered now!
Putting a hand inside his pocket, Lorien took out a seed, this seed is that of the Dream Tree!
'No wonder something felt missing!'
Waving his hand, the seed instantly flew through the air and fell in the center of the villa's backyard, there, it immediately grew into a towering tree thanks to the energy Lorien provided.
'Yup! Feels better now!'
Patting the nonexistent dust off his hands, Lorien made his way to Saigai as they then both stood in front of the survivors.
"Attention everyone!"
"Everything is ready now! I have already prepared your accommodations!"
"You guys can live in that apartment you see there for as long as you'd like! Just go and chose a room to live in, the doors are now unlocked and you'll find the keys inside."
"We also provide food alongside it so you don't have to worry about that!"
"Also, if you don't want to stay here you are free to go! I won't prevent you!"
"So! do you guys have any questions?"
After saying all of this, Lorien then waited for their inquiries, but after getting no response he spoke again.
"It seems that you don't have any! Then you can go to the apartment"
Seeing Lorien turn around to leave, one of the survivors finally spoke.
"I have a question!"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lorien turned his head and looked at the speaker, and seeing who it was, surprise appeared on his face.
'So it's him...'
'This is Interesting'
"Okay, Speak!"
