Hand over.

"How is this possible? Are you in some type of influence or something ?" Lyon stood up in objection to Nate's announcement. What made the matter, even worse was that after mentioning Nate must be under the influence of Sin just like the matrix will do. The rest of the horde also stood up and was kind of ready to fight if necessary.

Initially, when Lyon and others saw Sin fighting off the base soldiers and when the two altered humans were sent after him, the two suddenly bowed down to Sin in respect.

The first impression that both Lyon and the others got was that Sin might have used some type of influential power on them forcing them to do such a thing. However, after all, that has been done with Lyon rashly attacking Sin, they have come to realize that that might not be the case but what Nate just said now triggered them to go back to suspect the same thing.

What Nate just said was too much that they didn't believe Nate will on freewill declare such a thing.

"It seems like your men aren't as loyal to you as I thought," Sin said with a smile that Lyon in particular was annoyed at.

"Shut those mouths up before I do it for you!" Lyon shouted at Sin pointing out his finger at Sin. Subconsciously, he didn't know they have grow and become sharp like a claw ready to tier through things.

Sin responded with his eye glowing red and Lyon also did the same. Things were getting out of hand since Lyon was about to take the first move.

"Enough !" Nate yelled calling them back. No one needs to be told that Lyon wasn't sitting well with how carefree Sin was behaving despite being just a new member of the horde.

Nate sighed and decided to explain why he made such a decision. He told them that Sin was the original owner of the base at first before the matrix attacked and took over. He then now explained the deal he has with Sin. He was to help create a new base for Sin and in return Sin will help him defeat the matrix.

"Really? You are treading a full whole base for his help, what have we been training for?" Lyon said kind of hurt by what Nate said.

Starting from the moment Nate initiated them, they have always stuck to training, trying to break through their body limit and yet while all this was happening, Nate was seeking an alternative help to defeat the matrix.

Not only Lyon was hurt, but the others were also as well hurt because they have been training themselves with the hope of impressing Nate.

"I know what you guys might be thinking but trust me when I say this, there are far greater threats out there that are worse than the matrix and for us to cope in all this, we need all the strength, manpower and firepower we can get, that's why I'm doing all this,"

"I also know that you all must have devoted so much time and attention in this particular base and would like to stay and enjoy the fruit of your labour but it's not yet time for us to enjoy," Nate explained.

With Nate saying that Lyon sat down followed by the others before Nate now went into a discussion of what will happen and how things will have to be running.

They now discussed Sin's base, how many of his men will have to stay back with him and then those that will be heading back to the prison base and forest base for further development and recruitment of survival.

When that was off with, Nate went ahead to explain what happened to Jim before also telling them where he had been all this while and who took him out. Of course, Nate didn't know how to put Leo and decided to introduce him as someone that knows of his zombie system.

Of course, all Nate horde members know that Nate was a unique zombie with a system, so they were not surprised. Nate also now starts to explain his experience with Leo, he told them of the whitebonez and what he knows about them so far.

Nate didn't mention anything about how the system was created, he only told them about the theory of what Leo told him on how zombies are created.

After all this Nate now moved into the most important topic he want the others to know and that was about 'Mana and Qi'. He had explained to them what he know about mana and qi accordingly to how Leo explained it to him.

This particular information was something even Sin wasn't aware of so he listened well to grab someone's points on the topic. After this, Nate granted them the opportunity to question him based on the topic and he answered them according to his knowledge of them.

Slowly, the meeting was coming to a full stop, however, Nate still have one question for his horde ever since he arrived.

"So far I have been expecting to see him but there is no sign of him," Nate said getting up from his sit.

"Where is my brother, Peter?" Nate asked looking from Lyon to Bull, trying to dictate any strange reaction.

---

Meanwhile, speaking of Peter, he has been running for a while, as for how long, he has lost track of it but that wasn't the case here. What matters the most was that he has finally seen something that shows a sign of human life ahead of him.

It was a building that it's top was covered with snow. Seeing a building in the middle of nowhere was something rare. What was even more surprising was that in the air vent on the top of the building, Peter could see black smoke coming out.

Seeing this, Peter know what this meant. By seeing the smoke, it means that not only was there a house in the middle of nowhere, someone was living in it.

Peter didn't hesitate and sprinted towards the house structure. On getting closer, he noticed that the house was made out of strong wood.

Peter knocked on the door of the building but didn't get any response. He tried sniffing the area but didn't sense anything. He checked the horde map through the system.

'I used to sense Nate's presence in this direction but it suddenly disappeared,' Peter thought. As he was going through the horde map, he spotted something. 'There is a territory nearby, maybe if I go there, I will be able to get a clue where he is,' Peter thought and now decided to head towards the nearby territory he saw on the horde map.

However, it was at this moment the door of the house suddenly opened. This made Peter stop on his track and looked back at the house. "Who there?" Peter shouted but didn't get any reply.

'Maybe I should take a quick peek inside,' Peter thought and decided to enter the house by pushing the door backwards further to enter inside the house.

"Hello Peter, I was wondering how long it will take you to come in," Leo greeted while sitting on his chair.

"You!" Peter was surprised to see the man sitting in the centre of the house.
