39 Lost Base

"How can this!!!" Gray was looking at the base not far away with a shooked face.

How to say it. This base can't be called a base anymore. But a Ruined base.

Originally the base was made on the lower half of the mountain. But the problem is that the mountain itself wasn't the same mountain he knows.

A huge hole in the middle of the top of the mountain as if a huge thing has penetrated the mountain.

Seeing this Gray directly moved toward the base.

Legolas and Tauriel already know about the base from Gray's memories. So they were also surprised and followed Gray closely.

"AGSAAAA" While running many zombies notices Gray and tried to attack him. But Gray directly waved his sword making his way toward the base.

After killing many zombies around. Gray finally reached the mud walls of the base. From inside he can't hear any voice. He also found that the mud walls were full of huge cracks, which is easy for anyone to enter the wall.

"Be careful" Gray said in a low voice to Tauriel and Legolas who was standing behind him and went inside. The silence inside made him uneasy.

Slowly entering the base. Gray found that everything inside was already destroyed. But what made him feel weird that he can't see any fight traces around as if something shooked the base and destroyed everything around.

"What happened here!" Tauriel asked strangely while looking at the scene around her.

"Let's go" Gray knows that he won't find an answer here. so he walked to the center of the base.

While moving toward the center, Gray saw many bodies around. Dead bodies of the survivors. Both awakeners and normal humans inside the base. But what made him weirder that none of them have anybody problems, like injure.

"Poison?" Gray doesn't know why everyone is dead. But he started to guess on his heart.

Soon Gray reached the center of the base.

Like the other building around the base. The main house was also destroyed. Gray with Taureil and Legolas Looked around the base center.

"Gray over here, someone is still alive!" Legolas soon found a survivor and called Gray.

Hearing Legolas words Gray felt happy and directly moved toward Legolas. But as soon as he saw the survivor that Legolas talked about. His face darkened.

The survivor Legolas found is actually his enemy!!.

Zed!. The one who stole the base from him and tried to kill him before.

Looking at the unconsciousness Zed. Gray slowly bent down and put his hand on Zed's head.

Gray is not planning to save Zed. It can be said that he wants to kill him. But now he needs some answers. And from Zed's memories, he might found the answers he wants.

...

While watching Zed's memories, Gray's face changed many times. From shock to wonder. Then some sadness. And finally anger!

From Zed memories, Gray learned many things.

First why the base became like this.

Actually no one attacked the base or a stong zombie entered the base. But two awakeners were fighting and happened to pass by the base and destroyed the mountain by mistake. And because of the strong clash between those two awakeners, some weird energy spread on the air and entered everyone's body inside the base. So most of them lost the ability to act and collapsed fast as if they were poisoned.

Zed crystals already reached 300. So his body is much stronger than the others inside the base. That why he was able to stay alive until now. But he should lose his life soon. If no one helped him.

This shows how cruel the real world. Two awakener's fighting actually destroyed a survival base with more than 20.000 survival and no one left alive other than Zed whos about to die.

From the memories, Gray was able to see one of the awakeners look. Even though it was only for a moment but with Gray's ability, he was able to pause the memories and take a good look at one of the awakeners who were fighting look.

White big wing. A Long spear of light on her hand. And a big yellow hola on her head. Seeing this woman in Zed memories, Gray already knows what kind of awakener she is.

Race awakener!

Race awakener is one of the weirdest awakenings.

There are many types of awakening. In this world, race awakening, memories awakening, rules awakening, etc.

And as its name show. The person who became a Race awakener. He will change from human to another race.

That woman should not be human. But Angel!.

Before Gray awaken his ability. He always stayed in the base, till his father was killed by the zombies. So he never met this kind of awakener. But he heard about them.

There isn't much information about the race awakeners, at least from the information he learned from the base survivors who were outside.

But one thing is sure. Those awakeners are very strong. From the mountain look, you can see how strong they are.

Speaking about this. If others saw Gray's face right now. They will also think of him as a race awakener. After all, no normal human will have pointe ears like Gray.

...

Gray didn't only search about the base destruction reason. He also wanted to see if his father's death was because of Zed or not. But he found that Zed didn't kill his father. Even though he was planning to kill him. But it's not him.

When they were chased by the zombies, his father let the others run and attracted the zombies to another way. And after that, his father never came back again. Seeing those memories Gray knows that the chances that his father is still alive are very low. And that was made him feel sad.

But what actually angered him was what he did to Mary's squad!

Gray removed his hand and stood up. Then directly waved his sword, ending Zed's life for good.

Seeing Gray killing the only survivor they found, both Legolas and Tauriel were surprised and couldn't understand why will Gray kill him like this.

"Don't care about this scum, let's go, I want to save someone?" Gray said this and went the deepest part in the base.

Soon Gray reached in front of a dark cave inside the base. This cave was made by his father to imprison those lawless awakeners who will hurt the normal people inside the base, and threaten the safety of the base.

But actually it was never used. keeping those who should be imprisoned will only waste resources. So they were either exiled from the base or directly killed.

Looking at the dark cave, Gray didn't stop and walked inside directly.

Tauriel behind Gray took out the Arkenstone that Gray gave her before. Maybe this is the only use this stone has. As a lamp. The Arkenstone can emit light in the darkness

After ten minutes of walking. Gray reached in front of an iron Gate. Gray didn't stop and directly broke the gate and went inside.

After entering the room behind the gate. Gray looked at the person who was hanged on the wall of this dark room.

"Who!" The girl on the wall said with a very hoarse and weak voice. Apparently didn't have much energy to speak.

"It's me, Gray!" Gray said those words slowly while he's removing the cuffs from her hands.

"Gray... Is that really you!" The girl said with shaking voice.

"Gray... Ogi and Allen they were,.. they were killed by that bastard" The girl said with a very weak and angry voice.

Mary, the only one whos still alive from her squad.

When Gray led the bear away last time. Mary carried both Ogi and Allen and went back all the way to the base.

But what she didn't expect that Zed already noticed them and prepared a trap for them. After catching them. He killed both Ogi and Allen and wanted Mary to submit to him.

Mary was injured so she couldn't resist. Besides Zed is much stronger than her so even if she wanted to run away, she cant.

Zed threw her on this cell without treatment and was planning to let her starve until she submits to him. But unfortunately for him, The base was destroyed and he couldn't survive.

From this informations, Gray also learned that he only disappeared for one day in the real world.

"It's okay... Zed is dead" Gray does not know how to comfort her. All he can do is to tell her about Zed's death.

But Mary didn't answer Gray. Looking at her Gray found that she already lost consciousness. So he carried her out of the cave.

After walking out if the cave Gray gave Mary to Tauriel and searched for some equipment like the crystal detector and the space bags that originally belongs to Mary's squad. After finding what he needs. Gray wanted to leave the base directly. But when he reached the gate of the base, he saw many zombies coming toward the mountain. Soon this base will become a zombie land.

That's why Gray wants to leave fast. If a fourth-order zombie appeared, This will be a problem.

Gray wasn't surprised by this scene. For the base destruction, only a couple of hours. Besides, when he reached the base before, he already noticed the zombies who are moving toward the base from all directions. Apparently, the mountain destruction made a big noise around. Which attracted all those zombies.

Gray didn't stop and used his ability and carried himself with Tauriel and Legolas and Mary to soar in the air.
