Today, not many cars went out. The majority go inside.

Sometimes there are helicopters moving quickly from inside to outside the city.

I don't know who they are because their helicopters seem to be privately owned.

When the car passed through the gate, Oliver felt a different atmosphere.

Outside the city really gave the impression that it was very quiet except for the roads. Grasses and trees grew freely while birds flew above them.

There was no forest around but Oliver felt like he was looking at a forest.

When on the road outside the city, Kim Hana can increase the speed of the car to 80 KM and above.

The road was wide and there was no traffic. She could naturally drive freely.

"Is the base very far away, aunt?" Oliver who didn't know the location of the base couldn't help but ask the woman beside him who was now starting to pay attention to her cell phone.

"About 30 KM from here," Miya replied.

That turned out to be quite far but it could also be said to be quite close.

With such a distance, even when the test of civilization began, people from the city should be able to reach the base.

Perhaps Miya and her colleagues didn't dare to go too far from the city either.

Oliver returned his attention to his cell phone to wait for this trip to arrive at the destination.

He opened the forum again.

The ones showing off their skills weren't just Alex, there were other people doing the same thing even though most of them only had Class A Skills.

The majority of them were celebrities.

This was probably their way of staying in existence as people's way of life started to change. After all, as long as they remained popular by having a lot of money, the opportunity to grow would continue to exist.

The grass around the road only gets taller as their cars get further away.

As the road meandered, it became difficult to see ahead.

Kim Hana who was originally driving fast had no choice but to slow down.

If she misdirected the steering wheel, the result could be a violent accident.

When he was tired of doing everything, Oliver ended up spending time playing games on his cell phone.

This made the journey bearable.

He looked ahead spontaneously when Miya suddenly straightened her back.

It was apparently because they had arrived.

In front of them, there was a building that didn't look impressive at first glance.

It was just a large, one-story building that seemed to be makeshift.

However, when observing the surrounding area, there were many visible underground passages that extended in all directions, connected to each other by new passages.

Oliver wasn't sure where they reached as they seemed to have no end.

The most interesting thing was that above them was a row of round irons similar to the drain covers on the sidewalk. The difference was that they seemed to be made of very strong metal, and had sophisticated mechanisms.

"Aunt, this place?" Oliver really wasn't sure how this place was designed.

"The base is underground. We made it in the form of an underground labyrinth that covers an area of 5 KM square," Miya replied.

"Those things are the entrances to that underground labyrinth," she added, staring at the iron bars that looked like drain covers.

"They have been specially designed with the latest AI technology. When a human recognized by the AI steps on those entrances, they will automatically open, dropping us into the labyrinth. In other words, we can easily escape from the monsters chasing us. Of course, we can also exit any door easily. From inside the labyrinth, we can keep an eye out for safe areas. There are more than 1000 CCTVs that we have installed."

Hearing Miya's explanation, Oliver couldn't help but be amazed.

He imagined several times how good the base she said was.

This far exceeded his expectations.

He wondered how much it would cost to build it.

Kim Hana stopped the car in front of the building of the base. Perhaps from the beginning the building was nothing more than a quiet sign of the base.

There was no one there yet as there were no other cars. It seemed that they were the first to arrive.

Miya knitted her brows slightly because of that. And when she opened the car door, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the screen of her phone, her brows furrowed more sharply.

She took the call and put the phone next to her ear.

"What's wrong?" She said.

A moment after that, her expression became very bad.

Oliver wasn't sure what happened because he didn't hear anything.

Only, an extremely cold aura suddenly emanated from Miya's body, so cold that the grass below began to freeze, coated in thin ice.

Kim Hana who was experiencing this cold aura for the first time widened her eyes, disbelieving as she saw her boss who should have no skills because there was no constellation willing to contract with her could unleash such a terrifying power.

When she looked out, she found that even the grass nearly 100 meters away had also become ice.

She began to shiver from the cold.

Fortunately, the woman calmed down quickly as usual.

"Aunt, what happened?" Oliver asked her.

The latter couldn't answer right away, like she needed time to calm down.

It lasted up to a minute before she said, "we'll probably be the only ones inhabiting this base. Yeah, thanks to them for donating the funds."

Speaking of donating funds, she seemed to be smiling, but in Oliver's eyes, she was overacting, like she was smiling just to cover up the annoyance in her heart.

Of course, because of what she said, Oliver and Kim Hana easily deduced what happened.

The latter opened her mouth, as if in disbelief because to build this base, everyone had contributed a huge amount of funds.

'Hmm, they must have gotten better compensation or else there's no way they would have chosen to leave the base they built themselves,' Oliver thought.

Now his aunt must have been mentally devastated because she was practically abandoned by her friends who should have been quite close to her.

'That person, is it from our own family? But why?' Oliver with his various speculations had trouble concluding.
