Alex tied up the five zombie rats who were Dennis, Sam, Zander, Louise and Kevin. Although they are zombie rats, they have potential to evolve into a First Class Zombie since they were Level 1 awakened.
"If I let them stay here, they won't evolved" he thought and hesitated. He sighed and dragged them out of his territory.
"Either you evolved or not depends on your destiny. I'll wait collect your Level 1 brains and crystals then" he licked his lips while thinking of delicious dishes he will have again. These five zombie rats will be his food reserves soon!
The five zombie rats stiffened as they already feel their ending. Alex loosened the rope and went back inside his territory.

"Sir, the E Shelter and F Shelter collapsed. Only few survived and they are on their way here" a nerd-looking young man reported to a middle-aged man. He looks like a scholar but his temperament came from being a soldier.
The middle-aged man looked so strict but his gentle side always showed to his only wife. His name is Alejandro Fernandez and he awakened a fire attributes which affected his temper. He is the Leader of S Shelter and his four sons are in-charged of different department which lessened his responsibilities.
"Then, quarantine them for 24 hours first before giving accommodation" Alejandro ordered as his eyes focused outside the window of his study room.
From here, he could see many survivors who came from other shelters. He sighed and worried about the food stocks on their warehouses. Alejandro knows that he cannot save everyone but he is doing his best to give them their needs, as much as he could.
"Yes, Sir!" the nerd-looking young man saluted to Alejandro. Although Alejandro is not part of the military regimen, he is the leading person on building the S Shelter from ruins into a better living environment.
"Wait. Have you found Alex?" Alejandro asked with a hoarsed voice. His soft and gentle tone made the nerd-looking young man stunned and eventually understand his superior's worries.
He shook his head and sighed. It is no longer a secret for S Shelter Survivors that Alejandro Fernandez has a son outside and they still haven't know if he is either alive or not.
"No, Sir. None of the survivor passed by the R Forest" he responded.
"Have you also check the nearby vicinities? Maybe he goes and looks for help" Alejandro tried calming down himself. He already posted a Missing Notice on the Mission Board of S Shelter. Many people accepted the mission because it looks easy and the reward is huge!
Who doesn't want ten crystals of First Class Zombie Soldier, right? However, none of those people found his son. This made him realize how serious the situation is! If they cannot find him for another month, he must tear it down.
Otherwise, the other wealthy family heads will surely disdained him for using his position to find his son and reduced the manpower. This should be the last situation.
"We can only check the roadside and park, Sir. We cannot enter the S Complex because of zombie Rats" he said as he connected his laptop to the projector and it showed the map.
Fortunately, the satellite is still working. Although it does a limited searching for food, drinks and other necessities (he is talking about the locations of different industrial factories).
Alejandro frowned as he looked up on to the projector. The nerd-looking young man focused the S Complex map. The map only showed directions and never the 3D version of the world map. This increased the casualties of the venturing groups outside the S Shelter.
"You cannot find another satellite for 3D map?" Alejandro asked. This not only concerned his S Shelter but also the future generation of human civilization.
"Sir, the satellite cannot hold on much longer because no one is monitoring it. Those personnel in-charge already turned into zombie rats. The only way for us to find food stocks is to let the awakened venture outside" he factly stated as he already knows that his superior will ask about it.
Alejandro sighed and could no longer hope on keep using the satellite. Then, he sat down on his seat as his fingers tapped on the table.
"Do everything to find Alex. If possible, go directly to his mansion" Alejandro ordered.
"S-Sir, Sir Alex's mansion is located in the middle of the S Forest. There will be many zombie rats there-" the nerd-looking young man stuttered because of Alejandro's cold stare on him.
"Do it!" Alejandro ordered and reluctantly decided stopping the search operation on Alex if they still haven't found a lead.
The nerd-looking young man saluted and was about to go out of Alejandro's study room when Alejandro said a word which made him pause his steps
"Also, let Armano go with you" Alejandro sighed and remembered that none of his four sons have affections towards Alex. Alex didn't grow up in Fernandez Family and no one talked about him before Alex was found.
However, the Fernandez Family is so gloomy after Alex came back. He also knows that this reason made Alex gives them a cold shoulder.
"Yes, Sir!" the nerd-looking young man saluted and left immediately. However, his temperament turned cold as he recalled Isidro's order.
'That Alex? Tsk! Why did he even come back?' he thought angrily and walked towards the building of military.

After the nerd-looking young man left, a middle-aged woman entered Isidro's study room. Despite her age, she looks so young and beautiful! The passing of time doesn't affect her countenance at all! However, her worries on Alex made her haggard and weak.
Alejandro's eyes gently looked at his wife. He stood up and hugged her from behind.
"Why are you here, Beatrice ? You should have rest" Isidro comforted his wife.
"Will our Alex be fine?" Beatrice's eyes reddened every time she heard that they couldn't find Alex at all! She sobbed on her husband's embrace.
"Sssshh. He must... He must be fine for us" Alejandro patted her back as he hugged her tightly but gently. He felt that it is his fault why this is happening to them.
"W-What if... he becomes like them?" Beatrice's voice trembled as she cannot accept her son is eating a human flesh just to survive in the wilderness.
"Don't think like that. He's our son. Nothing will happen to him" Alejandro frowned as he didn't think of such possibility. He just knows that Alex is different to his other sons.
His four sons already showed their brilliance since they were kids and achieved their success because of their talent and competitive natures.
However, Alex entirely different. Although he is also a genius and talented but he easily get tired of what he is doing now and tried other things.
