Back on the Blue star, about one kilometer away from their family's scrappy house. A team which was being led by Beord to put up a quick shelter for the many animals which were clearly unplanned for. Scarlet had asked them to create a space foe three times as many animals just in case they found more of them later.
Scarlet too was outside, walking with her father, two mappers and another team of builders.
The further they walked, the more exhausted she felt. Scarlet made up her mind to use one of the bicycles in her storage space or the motorcycles.
Aside from the Blue forest, the bitter water lake and a very large ocean which her father told her could be seen from the higher lands, there was nothing much else to see on this desolate planet.
This was like taking a sight seeing tour in the desert under the hot blistering sun with no end in sight. Every once in a while the wind would blow by and some dust would rise and stick to her jeans and hands. It made Scarlet wish that rain would fall right at this moment.
There was no lack of bones, human and animal in this desolate land. It was quite a wonder to see that there were no vultures here. In the early months of the zombie apocalypse on earth the vultures were everywhere, feasting on bodies and guts until they died out slowly at a time as a resulting of eating poisonous flesh. Humans too turned around to prey on vultures when they run of food. Those were desperate days.
Then again, Scarlet thought to herself, vultures followed flesh not dry bones.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
Occasionally, she came across random wandering souls which were easily sucked into the soul gourd with no struggle. Eventually, the exhaustion got to her and she felt as though she could not progress any further. This body really needed some fine tuning.
"Dad, how much further do we have to go?"
"Are you exhausted?" he looked at her worriedly.
"Yes." she admitted.
"Should we get into a mecha?"
"No." she said very loudly.
"The second one is ideal for rock climbing activities." Scarlet said.
She had never personally engaged in the activity but she watched a few live broadcasts of outdoor anchors who climbed mountains, hunted in the woods and frolicked in water bodies for money.
She always found them to be incredibly courageous but she was too much of a coward to attempt those activities. It was not until the zombie apocalypse that she learned how to fight, block chi points and hunt. There was no room for cowardice in the apocalypse it was eat or be eaten.
"Look at the view from over here," her father called from higher ground. "You can see actually see another water body. The only time I was here I did not appreciate the view but now that we are building the city here, I see it in an entirely different aspect."
"I see it too." she replied. It was not large enough to be a lake, it looked more like a river to her.
They could build around it like one of those cities in Rome with water canals. How many times had she planned to take a trip to that city but she never made it. Those old cities were hauntingly beautiful. Now that she had a chance, she would recreate every city from earth that she ever found beautiful.
"What do you think?" her father asked her.
It felt good to see her father deferring to her for opinions. He did not just take charge of everything because he was older than her or her parent. He actually respected her position as governor of the Blue star.
The mappers placed the large maps which they had been carrying on their backs on the ground.
Dorian started pointing to different areas for Scarlet, "We will start by building skyscrapers here, here, and here. The governor's mansion which will be your abode will go here in the middle."
"No," she disagreed. "I think we should build the house of ministers here in the middle. I want to live in a castle. I like this place, from here I can look down on the entire city."
"But governors and royalty live in the middle of the capital city, that's how it's done." her father explained.
Scarlet still persisted, "We are not royalty father."
