6 Warning.

After thinking about it and with his past life experience Arther thought those base cities built by them had very deep waters. Even if he was able to guess about it, he knew he was not strong enough to speak against them, even the weakest of the forces wasn't something he can contend with, and neither did he had any hero conscience of helping people losing his life. Staying in the apocalypse he has seen the true face of humanity. Fellow human survivors are also one of the most dangerous factors in the apocalypse. What he had to do was to make enough preparations for his family's survival.

He had decided to lay low and make preparation since if those power came to about him then they would do anything to pry open his brain to get every single knowledge he had. It might also endanger his family's life.

After not gaining any other related news from the TV he turned it off and went to check out the surrounding, after he ran away with his sister from the home in his past life they were never able to return here again.

And he also had one thing to do today night.

He went into the backyard through the backdoor where he saw his mother feed the chickens and collecting eggs. It was her daily routine. They had nine hens and one cock, those chickens were reared by his grandmother and were now taken by his mother.

"Arther can you help me get some things from aunt Mey, I have asked her to keep them ready yesterday, we might need them on our trip.", Abella asked Arther for help as she was busy doing some other work.

Aunt Mey was their neighbor, she was 30 years old, her husband worked in a metal warehouse as a security guard in the city, she had a 14-year-old daughter Nanny. If it was that past life Arther he would have never agreed as he was very introverted and didn't like speaking to people much. But today he was a completely different person, so he agreed readily.

"Ok, mom",

His reply surprised his mom greatly but she ignored it as it wasn't a major event.

After his mother told him about the things he went to aunt Mey,

Aunt Mey's house wasn't a bigger one, it was a small single floor house with a small garden in the front of the kitchen door, aunt Mey liked to grow vegetables and spices in the garden and was also the one who thought his mother about them, Arther also came today to her house for this one reason. As food was the most important thing for them to survive. And with a shortage of food it was impossible to get the proper soil, seeds for planting in the apocalypse and even if one anyhow got those things not everyone had the knowledge about those things, hence Arther wanted to learn somethings about planting, types of seeds and if possible will try to get some of them.

He went to the front door and knocked it twice,

"Nanny can you open the door, look who has come", it was a middle-aged lady's voice.

"I am busy", a cute girl's voice replied mischievously.

"Nanny!", this voice contained obvious irritation and anger.

"Fine.. fine...it always me who has to always works",

Then there was silence I knew that lazy girl very well so knocked one more time,

"What are you banging the door for.....wait a second I am coming", this time with the voices came the sound of footsteps.

Arther had a wry smile on his face as he knew if he didn't knock he would have to wait for a longer time.

With the voice of the gate latch opening the door was open, standing there was a cute girl with shoulder-length hair, loose shirt, denim shorts, caucasian brown skin, round face, big watery brown eyes.

"Mom it's brother Arther", she shouted as she went over to the sofa for playing a video game.

The living room was not much decorated, it had a simple sofa, two chairs and a table for serving in the middle, facing the sofa was a TV hanging on the wall, in front of the door was the door leading to the kitchen, on the right was one-bedroom, and further ahead of the sofa on left was another room for Nanny. It was a small house enough for three people to live in. Aunt Mey was in the kitchen cooking.

"Hello little Arther, how are your vacations going?", Mey asked from the kitchen

"I am fine aunt Mey, mom asked me to get those piping tools",

"Yes, your uncle has brought them yesterday, wait a minute I will get them for you."

After a few minutes, she handed him the toolbox and went inside again.

Looking at how busy she was Arther thought it was better not to disturb her as he left from there.

After return home he kept the toolbox in the living room and went to his room, he decided to first try to find the required things on the tab. Then consulting someone for those that he can't find.

Every citizen was connected to the world net and most of the information can be gathered free of cost.

He searched for the information in many survival forums, websites. He didn't gain much as in the past life he didn't have any knowledge about the seeds, those they used to grow were some mutated that can't be found in this world for now. He downloads the encyclopedias, and information related to various seeds found in the world, also about various animals as all the animals on the planet were mutated or evolved into beasts and new demons were also born, those were the nightmares for the survivors. But many beasts had few of their instincts and habits same as before mutation. Hence this information might be useful. He also gathered information about various poisons and wild plants and insects.

It took him more than four hours to gather this information and sort it out.

Except for having lunch, he was busy gathering this information.

While Arther was having a peaceful day. It was not the same about the world.

The meeting was being held in the Imperial capital which might soon influence the structure of the entire world. In the meeting hall on the highest floor of a majestic castle, this hall was once used as an imperial hall where the king used to have a meeting with clan elders, today however it was filled with people with great power and wealth all over the world, the hall had a structure depicting the royal hierarchy with one main seat on the front side of the hall with the highest height, it was the king's seat but no one was sitting there. Then there was a stage in the center of the hall with various seats on the other side, they were lower than the king's seat but higher than all others, it was guest, prince, concubines, and same level authorities seat. few people were sitting on them today, which contained the royal family members, few military generals, head butlers of the clans, and the seat below them contained the political lead figures of powerful countries. On both sides of the hall contains the lowest hierarchy people the remaining political leaders.

On the stage was a huge screen being projected connected to the world's biggest astronomical observation station. There were few old guys on the live screen with various technical personnel manipulating various machines. The center of the screen shows a huge blue planet, it is none other than Nova planet.

Yesterday midnight the observatory has received some distorted signal send using unknown energy, and from an unknown language. After deciphering the signal instead of the message what made all these people gather was the source energy used to send this message and further theory of the scientists.

The meeting begins with all members seated.

"We have deciphered the message for more than a hundred times and have come to a conclusion that this signal came from a different universe, it also concludes that there are other intellectual races we haven't come in contact of, though we haven't been able to understand the message the system is trying to decipher it's meaning. ", an old scientist with thin stature, wrinkled skin, and white hair and long unshaven beard spoke. He is the head in charge of the station and a well-known energy scientist.

"We know you are doing your best Mr.Hoggs, and we are not here for these results, tell us about your other findings.", a middle-aged man in his 50s, in military camouflage clothes among the higher-ups spoke, he was the commanding general of the strongest country with biggest army power.

Everyone present had the same thought as him.

"Sure General Vilbert, we have found that the amount of energy in this message is enough to charge a super energy cannon that is in the building process to fire 10 rounds. This shows that the energy is in a very highly concentrated formed and since a huge amount of energy must be wasted during its travel in space it must have more than just this much energy." He paused for a while as he watched over everyone's expression and continued.

"If we can create this energy it might result in a new era of technology, we might have enough energy to start space colonization plan 10 years early. This energy also contains a high amount of stability so the destructive power it might create is not to be trifled with. Though I also want to tell you a very important thing. The signal we got seems to be incomplete and we think that soon we might get the other half of the message of it too. "

What no one knew was this was a message warning them to be ready for what the other half will bring.
