Outer Buildings

Amy got inside the damp lab. It seems those kids broke something inside the lab and flooded the floor with all this liquid. She didn't want to bother with previously mistreated children. Those don't look very old, the oldest seem 19 or younger while the youngest seemed 14.

Humans are like a snake eating it's own tail, they will consume each other sooner of later. In any case she only wants to check this place so she can move on to the next building with confidence.

Amy saw many disturbing things inside. Large glass containers with living things inside. Most of them have long dies two are still living.

It is a three headed dog. It is still young so it means they experimented on it while it was infant. Amy felt sorrow for the animal. His skin that should be fur looks razor sharp even through the thick glass container.

The belly that is supposed to be a soft weak point

lhas scales of what seems to be a crocodile. This puppy should be a few months old but it has gone through so much already.

She used her powerful mental strength to move the puppy out of the container. She removed all the tubs connected to it and then carried it to the bed. She wrapped it in a blanket letting it sleep after stuffing a fasting pill in its mouth. The sharp looking fur is actually soft to the touch. It must have been the liquid in the glass container that was making it look sinister.

She continued down the hall. She would come across dead animals in tanks. She even saw som hybrids between animals⁰. When she is about to reach the end she felt something on the ground.

Looking at it, she saw it is a large lizard.  When she lifted her head there is a melted glass container in the corner. It seems this guy has fire type ability.

The very last place is a normal office with computers and data. She didn't have any need for it so she left it like that and went out.

She lifted up the1qà))₩¥

puppy and the lizard followed behind. When they got near a large broken window, she pointed at a nearby forest. The lizard did something Amy hadn't expected, it shank in size before going out the window after taking one last glance at her.

Sighing, she is about to go away when she heard a disturbing conversation. "Who gave you the right to release my subjects?"

"I gave myself the right. This hospital is under my order." The dean Mo said. It is easy to hear anger from his calm voice.

The man didn't sound convinced and looked at the shrinking subjects. "Wherever you may go I will find you and bring you back into a lab do you hear? You were bought for my research. There is no escape for you in this life."

Dean Mo lost his temper. "Are you even still human? They are children! Why are you hell bent on destroying them?"

"Children? Whose children? They were all sold by their own families one by one, the poor person has something to hate. All I want is the materials on their bodies." The man said in destain.

"I want to study your physiology doctor." Amy came in carrying the puppy.

"Put that down!" The doctor ran to her in high speed to take away the puppy. It seems to feel malicious and tries to move inside the blanket.

Amy stretched her hand and the doctor is held firmly by the neck. She stretched and smashed his head on the wall. The skull cracked and blood poured out.

"Huh! You still have red blood like the rest of us. Why do I seem to think you are not human?" The doctor didn't die but became a vegetable person for now.

"Just throw him down the window, humans are already dying outside, what's one more dead person?" She made shooing sounds to the little puppy in her hand and left.

"The last floor will belong to me dean. I want the administration of this place running the new currency is this." She threw him a crystal nuclei.

"What is the nature of our business?" Dean asked looking at the dead colleague on the ground. This man had lost his humanity a long time ago, but to see him die like this is a little unbearable.

Seeing his expression. "Do you wish for me to find someone else to do the job?" She asked knowing he had wanted to retire from this place. The dean didn't answer.

"Our business is shelter. For now just get everyone settled in if you need something, tell me through this, my line is 9." She found walkie talkies in the storages. This big place will be hard to navigate. 

"Shelter." The dean repeated her word.

"May I ask why did you do all this?" The dean is curious. Not just him, the 9 kids are also very curious to find out the answer.

"The alternative is to live under someone else's rule. I just want a place to call my own. This place already has so many large buildings. All it needs is a wall and we have a base to keep us safe from the zombies outside." Amelia answered knowing the dean is worried about her objectives.

"Try not to make unnecessary noise here, the other buildings are still occupied by many zombies. Get your staff to clean this place up or no one gets food." Her tone showed she is not joking. The dean became speechless. How long will it take to clean all these dead zombies?

"The most important thing in the last days is food and medicine. Try to spend it sparingly alright?" Amelia warned.

"Alright. I heard you took all the medications from the storage warehouse?"

"I did. Problem?" She looked at him expecting him to reprimand her for stealing but instead the dean spoke and said :

"There is another place full of medications. The pharmacy where patients go to buy medicine after they get a prescription."

Surprised by him telling her this. "Alright, use it to run the hospital. Remember, everyone is to work and the pay is food and accommodations. Don't disappoint me." She left those words and went to make some food for the puppy.

She went into her space and saw many chickens so she killed one and used boiled water to clean it inside and outside. She got rid of the entire skin. Remembering how delicious fried chicken insides are, she decided to clean them well before putting them in a sealed container storing them away.

She didn't want to cook the meat but the puppy is still too young. She compromised and made simple chicken meat schew with soft potatoes.

The little guy has been mistreated in that lab so the growth of its body may need more care than normal beasts. Amelia loves animals and intelligent beasts but she was unfortunately not able to be a tamer in the last life.

Amelia has always believed beasts to be better than human companions. Even more so in a world where people are barely surviving. It is easy to be a sacrifice so others may keep their lives.

With these wondering thoughts, She went to the last floor, it has about 12 rooms it was used as living space for doctors. The decorations are luxurious and of high quality. She chose one at random, it is very large with a bathroom, a small kitchen and a bedroom.

She prepared her home as well as a room for the puppy. It will be better if it can sleep on its own until it learns to trust her. She decided to make the place comfortable and put a fluffy sleeping place far away from the poty.

The place looked homey but she doesn't have much time to feel comfortable because the small puppy woke up.

Opening its green eyes and stared at her with a cautious gaze. It didn't make a sound. Amelia looked at the small puppy knowing it won't trust her for now.

"Hey little fella. My name is Amelia. What is yours?" She asked as she stood a good distance from it. She didn't miss the fact that only one head woke up.

Wondering if the other heads are dead. If that is the case, then would they turn into zombies? Should she cut them out if that is the case?

The puppy didn't move or bark, just looked at her intently. Knowing it doesn't trust her, she put tree bowls of food and the heated milk in the corner of a room prepared for it and left the room.

Walking out she walked into one of the buildings on the side. There are 9 high rise buildings and 4 two story buildings on the side. She will need to start right away. She took deep breaths and took a step but a loud voice rang in her head.

"What are you doing human? Where are the elixirs you promised me?"

She stumbled. Stopped and entered the space. "You finally woke up? What's with the clamoring in my head? Didn't I tell you not to do that?"

One girl and one snake glared at each other. The snake hissed in annoyance. "I want what was promised." The snake released a pressure making her raise an eyebrow.

"Shouldn't you be thanking me for the elixir I gave you instead? Why should I feed a pile of flesh just lazing around all day long?"

"How dare you?! I am cultivating to ascend to immortality and when...." It didn't get to finish. Amy started ridiculing it.

"Blah blah blah... I have already heard the speech. Please spare me the details. My point is if you want something you have to work for it, lazy snake."

"Puny human. What do you want me to do?" The tone is still high sounding but Amy can detect a hint of helplessness.

"I want you to release your pressure on a few places to chase away the zombies inside the buildings." She smirked.

"Again? Can you even be called a master when you can't even do such a simple job? I will do it for two of the immortal elixir."

"Can you even make such a demand? Hurry up and finish the job first." She ignored the earlier comment, went out of her space and released it. The snake can shrink now. When it came out it is a quarter of its original size.

"Why don't I release it and cover this entire place?" The proud snake asked wanting to finish the job earlier.

"As long as all the zombies left the territory."

"Roar.." The roar sounded from all around the hospital, everyone fell on the ground in fear when they were hit by the immense pressure from the snake.

Zombies are now creatures that follow their instincts. When a high level zombie comes, they will follow its command. When a powerful creature like the snake marks a place at its territory, the zombies will leave.

Zombies walked away from the 13 buildings most just threw themselves on a near-by window and left.

Amelia waited a good 4 hours⁸hjl to make her own move. Some zombies are locked inside and can not go out so they keep roaring in fear clawing the windows.

The job became easier when she is just killing a few zombies instead of all of them. Even though the task still took 2 days it still better than the 6 days on the main building. 

"I am going to need you to occasionally release your powerful aura to scare away the zombies until we have the wall up and running." She told the annoyed snake who makes a sneering sound and continued sleeping.

The large snake on the open land is a bit unsettling so Amy is going to find a nice spot to put it.

The hords of zombies trying to squeeze out of the three large hospital gates was quite the commotion. Many survivors stood on the windows watching them go. The event took two entire days with breaks in between as Amy goes to look after her puppy.

The survivors have now heard about the new owner of the shelter. Seeing her having a large snake under her control, made them respect and fear her.

When she finally started the operation of killing the zombies still remaining inside the 13 buildings it made her bloody aura increase even more.

The current position is the fourth biggest building out of the rest with 18 floors. It is the nurses and doctors apartments so it varies from bachelors flats to 6 bedroom flats.

It's a shame that many windows have been damaged when the zombies were freaking out about the pressure and wanted to leave the territory of a powerful beast.

A week later.

"Dean Mo, it has been a week. Did you figure out how to handle administration around here?" She asked carrying the tree headed puppy in her arms. The little guy started warming up to her not long ago when she gave it a mental fruit from space.

Amelia has not forgotten to harvest the mental fruit planted into space. It will take only a few days to grow and mutate. Knowing the type of resource this is, Ameliadid not dare drag the time to harvest and plant it again.

She still pays attention to the growing population of chickens, ducks, cows, and pigs in the space. The leading groups are chickens and ducks. She would occasionally kill and store them to reduce the numbers.

The meat from space is very special, she doesn't want to give it to useless people who are not contributing anything to her goals. Which is why there are now hundreds of dead chickens and ducks, eggs and cow milk in large containers.

She is not anxious to use these things because the space can keep freshness of the food. Thanking of the food, she has been feeding the spiritual meat to the puppy.

Today is also the day it other two heads woke up. It should be the experiment was successful but the puppy needed more energy to awake the rest of its power.

Each head comes with a super power, Amelia hasn't found out the nature yet. She doesn't want to use her mental power to probe it. His health stabilised when she gave him the pills made from mental fruit every day for 5 days.

She realizes this is very generous but Amelia is not stingy with her own people or in this case, beat. Her train of thoughts are interrupted when she heard the dean speak.

"We established a new system to cater for the changes. The people are arranged into administrative, functional and soldiers. The functional staff members are the ones doing most of the cleaning, cooking and repairing the hospital broken windows."

"They consist of electricians, plumbers, builders. They are basically the oil to the machine that keeps this place functioning. We have established the pay and introduced the point system. Everyone will get a meal, place to stay and other supplies after they use the points to buy."

"May I ask if you have plans to build a wall around the hospital?" Dean Mo asked seriously. The tall metal fence is secure if it is peaceful times but the number of zombies is increasing everyday. Soon they will drown in a sea of corpses.

After taking the immortal grass pill the level of cultivation rose significantly and since Agatha is a beast, she goes into slumber in order to receive the bloodline inheritance.

But the snake said she will help her to build a wall with it's earth abilities. Amelia was relieved to know this because she can not count on the measly amount of spiritual energy she has to support a construction project of that size.

Thae mental fruit helps to optimize the use of abilities but it doesn't increase the amount of spiritual energy one has accumulated in their dental or nuclei. The mental power increases the aptitude which increases the future achievements.

The snake has been cultivating for nearly two centuries. It has enough power but will probably demand all sorts of pills to do it. Amelia doesn't mind.

"I am not sure what to do with the children who you rescued from the lab. After seeing what is going on outside, they decided to stay for now."

"Leave them be." Amy said to his concern. 

"Another thing is the amount of cleaning materials is at a shortage.

"Here, take this batch and tell the people not to waste any material especially the fabrics because there will not be any factory making clothes or sheets for a while. I have a feeling Winter will be especially cold this year." She warned, the dean took the warning seriously.

"How many supernatural power users do we have?"

"The survivors including those from the outer buildings amount to 8 000. Those with powers are currently numbered at  3094 only about 1500 powerful enough to fight."

"We have people claiming to be able to heal, lift things with their minds,some shoot with that is only lethal to zombies. If they face humans or plants they become useless. We also have a group that can read and influence minds."

Amelia took the report and saw the people who can manipulate minds, create illusions and read thoughts are almost 200. She will establish an intelligence committee that will help her keep her things a secret. This will be applied on all those she gives her things to.

"Not a bad harvest. Set a meeting for me with all survivors tomorrow at 11 in the prayer hall." She saw that hall has a very large space, enough to house tens of thousands.

The dean agreed with her and then she left. Seeing her playing with that three headed puppy with crocodile scales made his body shudder.

Perhaps only someone like her would barge into a hospital full of zombies and kill tens of thousands in a period of a little over a week. Someone who who plays and make funny noises to a puppy with three heads.

She made more pills this afternoon. She always seems to be working all the time. When to rest?

She went to the roof and stood there looking at the place she is to call home from now on. There is a high metal bars fence to begin with, the hospital occupies a large plot of land about 120 kilometers in radius she plans to double it. The stone wall she will make next will be way outward of the current fence.

That empty land will be free to develop however she wants. Perhaps she will build an outsid base with less then appealing structures but she will make sure there is no slums. These less than ideal buildings will house those will low income. She just needs to have excellent plumbers.

The  city under her control will not be smelly or dirty.

"Woof." "Growl."  "Howl."

She has gotten used to the puppy's split personality. The puppy is happy to be outside. She let it run on the roof freely. 

That snake will probably sleep for longer this time, she gave it a medium quality pill made with immortality grass. The pill is the same as the one from mental fruit except it also improves your physical aptitude making it easy to pull spirit energy into the meridians.

Physical aptitude is very important for beast than it is for humans. That pill will purify the bloodline making it easy to recieve more of its inheritance in the future. It's safe to say the snake will be even more powerful when it wakes up.

There is a medical concoctions used to paste walls made from relatively common materials to make it more concrete. She wants to make it but she is short of one important ingredient. Iron ore. Infact even copper ore will be more than enough.

But the dean said the known ore mine is three cities away so for now she will us the snake's inherent gift of earth spirit root.

Looking at the earth outside. Amelia knows this is the calm before the storm. Many people are about to die a few months from now. Winter is coming, and with it, a snow storm like no other.

This is the reason for the first night of passion between the male lead and the female lead. It has been four weeks two days six hours since the apocalypse began. The army will go into the city in order to get medicine from the pharmacy after failing to enter the hospital and rescue the civilians stuck in the city by the way.

This will also include the people from her school days. The plastic friends will join the army and go to the base in city B. In the novel, Amelia tortured them on the way killing them one by one until only a few remain. But in the group that died is a young man whose family holds power in the B base so the others snitch on her when they arrive.

Her sister works together with this family to get rid of her for good. It is a shame because in the last life, Amelia saves Mei from being violated by a group of thugs but the protagonist hand her over to be used as a piece of meat until she dies.

Amelia  suddenly feels suffocated and her entire body becomes shrouded in gloom. For some reason she feels that the miserable  fate happened to herself. Her entire body became numb and she felt hot tears flow uncontrollably down her chicks.
