Chapter 162 How Could This Be?

"What do you think will happen to us?" Robbert asked, staring at William lost in thought.

Coming out of his thought, he heard Robert question and sighed. The death of Isla was still surreal to him while their present situation wasn't optimistic.

"I don't know. All we can do is wait. But since both Mack and Susan are on the train. Everything would be alright." William said.

Hearing this, all the men inside the room breathed a sigh of relief. The overbearing power from Justin and those from the troop had shaken their heart. They knew they were at the mercy of Justin.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, the door slid open a handsome young man appeared. He looked at Robert and Willem for a moment before he rush to hug them.

Hahaha

,m The three friends laugh as their hearts was filled with happiness. Seeing each other was a great fortune. During these trying times, many had already given up on seeing their friends and family again while they had already started to have another family.

Afterward, the three friends separated from the warm hug and took a seat. Also, everyone inside the room fixed their gaze on Mack. They wanted to know what was going on the train.

"I know what you are worrying about," Mack said with a rueful smile.

"This train is called the ark of Genesis. And this person is called Genesis. The young man you see previously is the king…"

King!

Everyone suck in a cold breath and looked at each other. These are crazier than they thought. It took them a couple of seconds to recover from their initial shock. Seeing their expression, Mack wasn't surprised. Since the time of the king had long since passed why would the camp restore to it?

"Who made him a king?" William asked.

"What do you expect?" Mack asked with a bittersweet smile. He could vividly remember their clash when everything just began. Shortly, he shook his head and sighed. He doesn't want to dwell on bad experiences though they still hurt him.

"Now, let me tell you about the section on Genesis. The section is like class. There are commoners, elite, noble, and the royals."

Hearing the royals, a wry smile appeared on Robert and Willem's faces. Previously, they called themselves the royals in the university and the city but now. They are rusticated to nothing but ordinary people.

What a twisted fate!

"Everything in Genesis depends on contribution points. And you get points when you complete a set of missions or when you have a post you're handling."

"Where do we live? And what about other things" A woman in her late twenties asked.

Mack looked at her with a slight frown. "Don't ask me something like that. You'll get to know. What you should be thinking about is your class and your usefulness on the ark."

"This car would be living quarters for now. So make yourselves home." Mack said slowly.

"Thank you for helping us. How do we get our class and how do we start getting the mission."

"You will register your bio-data to those in charge and wait for the king to announce your class," Mack answered.

Robert and William looked at each other and saw the confusion and unwillingness on each other faces. They knew everything in Genesis was strictly controlled by the King, and so has their fate.

Meanwhile, Justine was having a meeting with his executive. They were discussing how to handle the new arrival.

"What class should we assign them?" Nasir asked.

"No Class," Justin asked.

No Class?

Everyone looked at each other and wondered what the meaning of no class was. Although they understood the meanie of no class figuratively but in the context of Genesis. They couldn't wrap their head around it.

"They won't have any class. For now. If any of them show their worthiness, then, they would be promoted to the appropriate class." Justin said with a solemn voice.

"You must all remember, we aren't like other people in the wild. We're different and everything we do must not leave room for any discrepancy. Is that clear?" He asked.

"Cleared" They answered in unison.

"Good." He nodded.

"We must be prepared for an attack at any moment. Although the ark is safe for now we must not get complacent. Those in the No-class section should be distributed in the areas where we are short of manpower."

"I want the renovation plan in full swing."

"Nika, I want the security on the Ark tighter. And the defense team should be standing by."

"All windows should be closed and if anyone dares to go against the order should be dealt with accordingly," Justin announced.

"Is there anything I need to know apart from the one I already know?" he asked.

"The contribution system is lagging?" Susan said in a low voice.

"Why?"

"During our immigration, some of the files were lost. And when I'm unconscious the contribution system stop working."

"I appoint Merab as your assistant. About the lost file, you forget about those. You can award 10 points to those that were lost."

"During my last visit to the warehouse, I found 3 laptops and two of which we will be using for the contribution system. The last computer will be used to the statistic of Genesis and others."

"For the contribution system part, Chloe had already written a computer program for that. Now, we will begin a new registration for everyone on Genesis with a secure security number."

Hearing this, everyone inside the room looked at each other with their mouth agape. They stared at her and wondered. What a freak!

Seeing the numerous gaze, Chloe adjusted her glasses and averted her gaze.

"With Chloe's contribution to Genesis, I award her 500 contribution points."

Hearing this, no one was surprised by the result as they'd predicted it. When it comes to giving out rewards, Justin wasn't stingy.

"Thank you," Chloe said with a tight lip smile.

'',

"How many cars are available?" Justin asked.

"Four" Chloe responded.

"One of the cars should be used as Restaurant and Bar. And one should be used as a prison." Justin announced.

Restaurant and Bar!

As he saw their stunned, Justin chuckled. He expected such a reaction from them. But that was the least the people need. Although they were fighting against beasts and other dangerous existents. Notwithstanding, the little time they have should be used on something that could give them joy.

'Since I've given them a restaurant and bar. I should give them a hotel.' With that, a sly smile appeared on his far.

"The last two cars would be used for hotel and relaxation." He added.

Everyone looked at Justin not understanding what was going on in his head. Everything he did was for them to satisfy their carnal desire. Nevertheless, they love it.

"I believe this in Genesis. The life of our people would be better."

"For the hotel and others, Kira would be in-charge. While the prison, Nika would handle it."

"The noble and royal sector wouldn't undergo any reconstruction for now. We will focus on other sections…."

"Your highness… A tunnel is up ahead." A voice came from Justin's radio.

"Alright."

Outside the ark, a large expanse of ice spread beyond eyes could see and long metal covered in frost sped forward. In the distance, a hill appeared with a whirlwind howling fiercely on its top, and beneath the hill was a tunnel full of darkness.

However, if anyone were closer to the entrance of the tunnel, they would feel the ominous presence in the air. Yet, the ark was racing toward it.

Meanwhile, inside the ark. Justin's order had been passed and all windows had been closed and the noise coming from each car had stopped.

Although the people didn't know what the hell was going on, the people's fates in Justin had reached a considerable degree that they didn't worry about what was to come.

As long the king is with us, we will be saved. That was the single on their mind.

Meanwhile, Justin stood at the control center and watched as the train entered the tunnel. Since he heard about tunnels, his instinct had been warning him. Thus, he suspend the meeting and made everyone prepared for the worst.

All the defense team mounts the ark entrance, holding their breath and gripping their spear tightly.

Inside the No-Class car, Robert and William stood on their feet and looked out the window. Both of them are the strongest of the group and they noticed the oppressive presence when they entered the tunnel.

"Everyone should be on guard. This tunnel is dangerous." Robert whispered.

Bang!

A deafening sound came from the distance and the ark shook back and forth. Everyone held their breath and grip the nearest object tightly.

At the em of the ark, Justin knitted his brow and spread his perception to the fullest.

Suddenly, his perception caught sometimes unusual and a frown appeared on his face.

"How could this be?" he murmured.
