Island
Amelia decided not to make any loud movements. She sat down and put up a space lock on the entire cell. Level 9 space power can lock down a place without needing to keep fueling it with power to keep it up. Just put enough power in the beginning and put more when you feel it is wavering.
She is already wearing a jumpsuit from the metal cabinet instead of that ruff outfit she initially had on. Still unable to access her space she starts trying to understand the plant power. Advancing must have been so hard because her powers are blended now and she had only focused on space.
However, how can she focus on two powers when meditating? She closed her eyes and ignored the world around her. Unbeknownst to her, the moment she put up the barrier, a certain zombie suddenly lost the pull of a plant type power it has been hypnotized by and became agitated.
Outside the building is a row of similar buildings all large and tall in their own way. In fact, only building D is built like an actual prison with cells and metal toilets. The rest are like suites with a bedroom, a small kitchen and another bedroom plus a living room.
The inmates in this prison are prominent figures of people from prominent families so they are treated well relatively unless they are weak and without skills. Most of those imprisoned here were already supernatural power users like Shane.
The only way to put them away and keep everyone safe from them was to isolate them in an island where they can't travel out no mater what they want. The people keeping guards here barely travel back home and have instead settled in the island somewhere as a requirement for the job by the UN.
That is why the prisoners had committed massacres in the towns and villages in the island. They brought back those they can make use of and enslave them or put them in this building. This building is for new inmates with no influence or power in the prison.
The guards used to commit crimes and abuse inmates in this building which is why they were brought back to stay here.
At the moment the prison is in a mess because someone stole all the food in the storages not that there was much to begin with but now there is practically nothing. The nearby forests are full of vicious beasts even if you ask, no one will willingly go to their death.
The one who stole the food was naturally an enemy of every inmate in the prison. This way they will eat each other and do mankind a favor. A man standing far from the prison thought as he watched with binoculars people panicked looking around the place for him. An evil smirk graced his face.
"Lets see how you will stabilize the situation Liam." He spat. This is why it is said if you don't want future troubles it is better to cut the grass with the roots. Bill was a guard in this world class prison and had a lot of influence in his hands. There are devices used here to take away the supernatural powers of inmates and the one who had the keys to unlocking them was him.
He had gone to a club during the night of the great change. He was stuck in that bar trying to survive the zombies all over that building and finally came home after a while. To his horror he found his family brutally violated before being murdered and the ones who did it even left a note in blood.
The note told him to come and rescue his remaining family members but how can he willingly walk in there to his death? So he didn't go and plotted in the dark hoping to hurt them at the right time. He is a very selfish man how can he save others? But that doesn't mean he doesn't feel guilty about it.
As a result he channeled his guilt into justifiable anger and his personality became even more twisted. He wants to hurt the group of prisoners badly that he doesn't care about the possibility of his remaining family inside suffering alongside them.
Finally after investigating for a long time watching and waiting he was able to sneak in and use his spiritual power to lift the supplies in the air and dropped them in the ocean. He didn't want them to get them back if they find him somehow, that place is full of all types of supernatural powers it will not be surprising for them to find him.
However, he also pulled on another mental power and realized a dangerous super power is lurking in the shadows under the prison. So he used his keys and opened the jail cell before leaving the way he came. Now all he has to do is wait for the fireworks. His family is already gone, why should these scum of the world live a good life?
Now they don't have food and will be suffering from starvation, they will be too busy when whatever is locked up in the dark cells comes out. He decided to find a way to increase his power for now. Taking one look at the place he had ruled for years and decisively left.
Liam had calm down and started to try and look at the solution to this problem. First he needs to have a space power user he can trust keep some of the supplies he will get after he pushed the slaves to go hunting. He also needs to kill off the more useless and ....
The base leader tried to make more plans to stabilize the situation. He is planning to find out who exactly is it that went against him so blatantly.
The following week a lot of cruelty took place in the base. Many people in the base were chained and released in the wild with kitchen knives and some branches. It became like the survival game for the inmates to watch and pass time. Others went out seriously to hunt and replenish supplies but most died while others were seriously injured.
The base with tens of thousands of members lost most of it's most working powerful group. Another week went by and people started to notice the lack of food and began to riot. They were hot headed to begin with and the only reason they had followed Liam was because he is powerful and also kept them fed. That second reason is no longer the case.
The riot went on and more violence took place, each party wanting to show how ruthless they are but what can they really do without food? In the end they decided to look for the one who stole the items. Space powers were prosecuted and forced to show all the items in their space. Another round of cruel interaction took place.
A while later during one of the nights, one by one every powerful being in the land of the fallen died in their sleep. Shane took one look at building D before flying away towards his home. A lot still needs to be done in his own home.
This is time for Japan to take its rightful place and be gods among men. He decided this place is no threat to him and his plans.
The zombies who has been patiently waiting outside the cell had long been unable to sense the plant power from inside the door. It became anxious....more like angered greatly and tried to exit his own cell before trying to enter the one that contains the plant power. The zombies couldn't get through because there is a very sturdy transparent structure preventing anyone from moving forward.
The zombie roared in rage and all the zombies roared in the building which can house tens of thousands so the number of zombies is astronomical.
This doesn't concern Amelia who is in deep meditation absorbing every bit if knowledge she can gain from her plant power. The space isolation she placed around her is natural sound proof, the zombies in this place kept roaring to get out and eat, if she could still hear them then she wouldn't be able to meditate.
Weeks turned into months and soon the figure meditating on the ground became covered in dust. Then as days went by, a pink mist seemed to gain form and covered her little by little she became covered from head to toe.
A green mist followed, a red mist, a purple mist also did the same. Then a black sinister mist covered her and then vines of all these colors made a cocoon around her. Many days later there is a ball of wood in the group covering her.
Amelia finally understood. Plant is life, but it also needs life, it is death but it can also die. It can give and heal, but it can also take and harm. As a plant power user, she is more sensitive to life signals. She can also feel when someone is contaminated with the breath of death.
This is just the tip of the surface, there is still so much wonderful knowledge to discover that Amelia lost herself in this until much later when she felt stuffed and should take time to digest the gains. As a cultivator, she knows when she is over reaching.
The important thing now is that her powers have finally become part of her. Soon at level 10, the crystal nuclei will be shattered and reshaped into essence drops. That is all in the future, for now it is better to come out and explore her new home.
She doesn't know how much time has passed outside. The cocoon seems to have been absorbed by her as it disappeared into her body without a trace. Her plant powers have now also become part of her and will no longer call out to other supernatural power users. Unless they are far more powerful than her.
She looked around the dusty room and heard the distant roaring of zombies all around her. Coming out of the cell an zombies pounced on her leaving a large gash on her jumpsuit just above the left breast.
Looking at the snow white skin exposed but no blood gushed out only a white mark that soon disappeared under her gaze. Plant powers are amazing once they integrate into the user. She knows she has high level healing skills at the moment. Also, her body strength is at the refinement realm in cultivation. It is very sturdy.
Look at the zombies surrounding the door as if to say 'not alive you don't.' She took out a steel heavy long blade she had made for herself in the forging when she had been planning to make those nullifying slabs.
She had made a single long blade capable of accompanying her in long and close combat. She sliced and a head flew out. She looked at the blade with a bit of appreciation. This will do.
The zombies numbered in thousands but Amelia didn't seem to want to flee or take a break. She remembered her blade technique in the past and with the light movement technique slashed, blocked and stabbed into a zombies head.
She would even be in the air slashing her blade to the zombies jumping from upper floors. Amelia is not stupid she can feel a gaze in the distance staring at her as if to look for something. These zombies must be jumping up in front of her like this just because they are ordered by someone.
A spiritual power user? Or a zombie? It doesn't matter, she first needs to kill these zombies anyways. Seeing the process becomes repetitive, she levitated in the air and released numerous thin looking vines that attacked in lightning speed digging out the crystal nuclei and sending them all to her space.
A few moments later the ground is littered with dead zombies but more are coming as if a relentless tide. She sent hundreds of space blades, careful to make smaller blades as sharp as possible. Anyone seeing this scene would assume they are dying on their own. The plant doesn't let the crystal nucleus go.
A large pile of dead zombies appeared on the ground but it seems to be just the beginning. Amelia took out a fire type talisman tailored for devil qi. She activated it and threw it on the pile on the large open space of the ground floor.
The green flame engulfed the zombies on the ground like burning through paper leaving behind a clanking sound of falling crystal nucleus. Amelia is not surprised she managed to not get a few of them directly from the source but the amount is just too much.
She sent her mental power and sent them all to her space. The zombies are still coming, they are subconsciously avoiding the green flame. After she is done she took back the half burnt talisman and took out another one. She pasted it on the wall.
The one she just pasted emitted light. White in color and with dense light elements the light swept all over the 68 floor building. The entire place can not be seen from the inside because of the glaring light.
The zombie who has been watching a show, felt sick and bolted out of the building with half it's body and face burnt off. As the zombie takes steps away from the building D, it's body recovered almost instantly. This is the miracle of a plant type ability. It is very hard to deal with.
Amelia had also come out before she could be blinded. When she got outside she found the place desolate and the weeds are growing on the wall uncontrollably. Shane got out and killed everyone. She can feel death aura in this place, it's as if a great calamity befell here.
She looked at the sorry state of the buildings and counted their total number. There are large buildings such as D building and then there are other buildings with only 30 to 20 floors instead of 60 to 80 floors. It's a total of 15 buildings.
This prison catered for the UN and not just one country so it makes sense to have all these buildings. Not to mention the prison had mixed genders.
Amelia used light talismans on each building and all the zombies didn't even leave a corpse or bones behind just shiny crystal nucleus. The prison is a very large place. There are fences separating the inmates from building to building but some of these fences have been damaged.
This place is perfect for a new base of operations. The structure was made at the request of the owners of the world, so it is not shabby at all. There are play grounds for sports and even several pools, gym and plenty of clothes to wear.
Remembering something, Amelia took out several cleaning talismans and pasted it of all the buildings. As long as they still operate, no dirt shall remain inside. This includes the blood on the floors, walls and the bedding in the sleeping cells.
Knowing she had just saved a lot of soap and work with a talisman, she went into her space to check if the space had changed. To her surprise, the change is glaring this time unlike before.
The only problem with this place now is the street and the nearby land is covered in dry blood.
She walked and the structure is very neat and spacious. Proving her earlier conjectures. Big shots built this place. The several high rise buildings made her remember when she couldn't help but settle down at the hospital when she saw so may readily available large buildings.
After searching, the only mundane prison building is the D building with several cells on each floors although spacious, each cell is only a resting place with a toilet. The other buildings are in single flats units with a bathroom, a living room and an area that can be a kitchen.
The other places with two bedrooms up to 6 bedrooms will hold several convicts in these places. Its is not different from the peaceful times when people rented places.
She went into a place where she could feel slight life signals. It turns out this place was made for powered people so many things are not possible to do here like scanning a building from a far. The materials used is very special. Also sound proof.
The structures are built to be sturdier and more resilient to brute force. If someone wanted an end times reliable base, this is it. When she entered she found several people with haggard appearances.
She didn't say anything and moved to the next building and the next. In the end she estimated to have saved a little over 12 000 people. The question is 'Shane, is it very hard to kill your enemies?' Amelia felt a headache, she doesn't want to keep these people but where should they go?
The zombie from earlier had run away when it saw the entire prison enraptured with that painful power of light.
Amelia didn't give these people food and materials like she did with the hospital staff. What if they do what they did to their old leader? Did they kill him or eat him?
Amelia also felt she shouldn't judge them so harshly when she had rescued the nine kings who have killed and ate one of their team mate. At the time she had been focused on finishing her plans and didn't care much for their antics.
However, these people are already not easy to deal with in the first place. If they suddenly get a special taste for human flesh she will really raise an white eyed wolf who will one day decide to make soup out of her fingers like sausages.
She sighed looking at all these people. Human life is really tenacious, who can tell her why these people are still breathing? They do cast a sorry picture though. They seem to be waiting for death.
The building was miraculously cleaned right in front of their eyes but they jist couldn't muster up the excitement to react. Their own bodies and clothes are still very dirty and smelly.
The prison rooms are full of window and door bars unlike high rise buildings in the city, the materials used to make these windows is unusual. If it can be casually broken, inmates would use the glass to kill each other all the times.
As the result, the buildings are secured in good condition. Even though they have been slightly ravaged by neglect for a few months.
She used her spirit force to speak so that everyone can hear her. "Everyone come out to the assembly." These people are starving and some can't move but she didn't bother to help with this.
