"Hurry Lara, let's go find a safe plaze." Klien said, his voice was serious. "O..okay" Lara replied.

The both of them decided to go to the Kasumigaseki Station. Which is nearby.

"Follow me Lara, the station is really not far from here, and i think there's a survivors right down there in the subway." Klien said. his voice firm. As they walk silently and quietly hide on some obstacles to not be spotted by the creature that lurks to the city— The world both of them has known is now ruined, as they walk around, they hear screams and shouting for help, skyscrapers was fallen apart, the sounds of the cars. After minutes of walking they finally arrived the station

"Were here." Klien whispered to Lara.

The station was quite, and full of mist. they went inside the subway, the inside was quite big—Escalators were froze in time, waters dripping from above, and the trains were gone, it was quite, lights flickering from the distance.

"Brother im scared.." Lara said, her voice soft.

"Dont be scared, Soon we will find people out here." He replied, his voice firm. Their voices echoes around the subway as they went deeper, it was super dark. "Brother what if those creatures gets inside here?" Lara whispered softly. "Then will beat them up, Together." He replied, with smile in his face.

After walking for almost 5 minutes, both of them saw a light from the distance.

"Survivors!?" Klien whispered softly, "Brother, what if they will betrayed us?" Lara said, her voice firm "Then we should be careful, and just stick to me okay?" He replied, his voice was serious "O..Okay" She replied, her voice soft.

Both of them went closer from the survivors, there were 25 people. "Guys look there's someone out there!" 1 of the survivor shouted, it was a woman wearing a formal grey shirt, blonde hair, pale white skin.

All of them point their weapons on Klien and Lara.—The place a had beds all over the place, and some lanterns hanging around.

[You have earned 100$]

"You guys should calm down, were not here to harm you at all, were here to find a safe place, and gladly we found you all!" Klien said, his voice was serios, Klien was a bit confuse and thought why he was not scared from their weapons at all. "Oh.. Everyone calm down, the two of them is trying to find a safe place, we should welcome them from our group." The woman said, her voice loud, and echoing throughout the tunnel of the subway.

"Hello there little girl, what's your name?" She said while smiling, her voice soft. "Im..,Lara" She replied softly.

"Lara i see, and you? what's your name? are you his sister?"

"My name is Klien Smith but you can call me Klien, and yeah thats my sister, and you what's your name?" Klien replied, his voice firm.

"Ohh.., how rude of me for not introducing first, My name is Stella and im the leader of the group" She said while smiling, her voice soft.

"Stella i see, and by the way i have some questions to ask about your group. If...if that's okay?" Klien whispered to her.

"Sure why not" She spoke softly.

"Well in this group, have you all planned how to get foods or even fight does creatures above? " Klien said, his voice was serious.-_-

"Yeah we planned to separate in 2 teams, The first team was led by Jack, that mysterious guy wearing a black hoodie. But don't underestimate him—he has a dagger that was dropped by those creatures. He's quite kind, you know. On the other hand, I am the leader of Team Two. In our team, we are the ones who find food, while Team One is responsible for fighting those creatures. Their task is to clear the way so we can gather food." Stella replied and roughly explained it all .

Klien was amazed by their plan and then decided to join on team 1.

"Stella i would like to join on team 1, and by the way who will take care of my little sister when we are getting food?" Klien said .

"Don't worry, Brein can take care of him."She said softly—Brein, An old man that is bald and had a white beard, wearing a black formal shirt, He is good at handling kids, "And Klien dont you worry, Brein had a skill that is called Electrical Barrier, which can summon a shield and its very useful for protecting our base, that's why i choosed him to be the one who will guard this base along with 4 people who had a skill that is quite similar to him" Stella said with a smile in his face, her voice soft. "Thank you so much Stella!" Klien replied while smiling.

"Can someone check the time on your phone? Only if you have a phone" Stella shouted softly. "Well its almost 6pm" Jack said, his voice cold "Hey Brein stop playing with Lara for now, It's time to distribute the food we recently got" She said loudly, her voice is still soft as always. The foods are—bread, some canned goods, and water. Brein distributed everything evenly to everyone.

After eating, Stella announced an speech, "Eveyone gather around please.. Tomorrow morning we will collect foods from outside, The plan is simple as always, Team 1 is the one that will lead the way and slay those monster, While Team 2 is the one to collect foods, All of us should protect each other so goodluck everyone and thats all!.., you guys can sleep now." Stella's voice is soft as always even doing speeches. "Uhmm, Stella? where should we sleep?" Klien said awkwardly. "Oh thats right i forgot, Jack! give these two a bed to sleep." She said, her voice loud

"Hey you two, follow me." Jack said, his voice cold. "Okay..." Klien replied.

After a Few Moments*

"Here, this is the bed for you two." Jack said while walking away, his voice is cold as always. The bed had white sheets and only one pillow that is color white. "Thanks." Klien replied. "Brother im going to sleep now, im tired playing with uncle Brein." Lara said with a tired face, her voice soft.

"Sure you can sleep now." Klien replied.

The subway tunnel lay shrouded in silence, the faint howl of cold wind echoing through its empty expanse. Everyone is asleep, except Klien his eyes remained wide open, thinking what he will do tomorrow. 'what should i do tomorrow and how can i even get a weapon, Ah well i should ask Stella tomorrow, i should get some sleep' All these words is coming from Klien thoughts.

Klien let out a weary sigh. Slowly, he closed his eyes, allowing the weight of exhaustion to pull him into the depths of sleep.
