Chapter 574: Invaders
” Is there a list of the people who had died during the disaster? ” Jayden asked.
” Yes there is, although we weren’t able to get the bodies of all the dead people, but we have noted the names of the mostly all of the people who had died. ” Ron replied, he wondered if Jayden wanted to check something in that list.
” Can I know if someone is alive or not? ” Jayden questioned, it was impossible to see his expression.
” Yes you can, just tell me the name of the person you are looking for and I’ll search if they are dead or not, and if they are alive I could tell you their address. ”
Ron said and picked up a tablet from near his seat, he opened an app inside it and then looked at Jayden.
” Sydney ” Jayden just spoke the name, while all the women wondered who it was since he had never before shared anything about her.
” Alright give me a minute, let me try. ” Ron spoke and then searched for her name, after a minute he added: ” There is more than one Sydney here, can you tell something more about her, anything is fine? ”
“…” Jayden stayed silent for a few seconds then he spoke: ” She lived in an orphanage named God’s Grace orphanage, though I think later she was adopted by someone. ”
After hearing his words all the women understood that she was someone who was in the same orphanage as him, but they all stayed silent and did not ask anything.
” That might help, then let me check again. ” Ron spoke and typed something into the tablet, then he waited for a few seconds.
” Ah I found her, Sydney twenty three years old, wait- Uhh I- I believe that she is already dead, I’m sorry for your loss but was it someone in your family? ” Ron asked but instead of answering him, Jayden asked a question in a solemn tone.
” Did they find her body or was she only missing? ”
” Hmmm let me see… Oh, they did find her body and she is already buried. ” Ron spoke directly, while looking into his tablet but in the next moment somehow his tablet first began to crack and then it exploded.
*BOOM*
Ron hastily threw it away and was barely escaped getting injured he looked at Jayden and knew it must be his doing, but since Jayden was looking out of the window Ron couldn’t see his face.
” D- Drive faster, how long is it going take us to reach there? ” Ron shouted towards the driver and kept looking back at Jayden in fear.
While Jayden’s head was already a mess, he didn’t want to believe this news but there was no reason for Ron to lie about this and even his heart beat remained constant while he was telling him all that.
It was his fault that all of this had happened in the first place, if he had not entered that strange space then the earth wouldn’t be in such a bad condition, and neither would have Sydney died.
Jayden closed his eyes and his head was starting to hurt a little, The rest of the women looked at him with worry they knew if he was asking about her then they must have been close at some point and the news of her death must have hurt him a lot.
Eleanor was sitting to Jayden’s left while Jia was sitting on his right, they both hugged Jayden and silently began to console him, the bus stayed silent no one talked about anything after that.
After around a dozen minutes they had finally appeared in front of a big building, which seemed to be a hospital or a lab or some sort, when the bus stopped Ron stood up and moved close to the door as he began to explain:
” I- I’m actually a researcher who is trying his best to help humanity I’ll explain everything i- inside, let’s go. ” Then Ron got off the bus and waited for the rest to follow him.
Jayden stayed on his seat while getting embraced by two of his wives after a few minutes had passed he finally spoke: ” I’m fine, we need to go now. ” Even though Eleanor and Jia were still worried about him but they stood up and moved out of the bus along with the rest.
” T- This way, please follow me. ” Ron spoke and then told his wife to go back to home, they all walked inside the big building.
After passing through the reception they walked inside a corridor most of the rooms on both sides were locked but they could hear occasional screams of humans from all around.
” Haha Please don’t mind that, since we have captured some nasty creatures it’s normal for some accidents, but don’t worry about your safety here it is as safe as it could get. ” Ron spoke, with a self assuring smile.
Jayden looked around and saw a few words written around on the walls and some objects, it was ‘Arcane’, which indicated that this research facility was actually a part of Arcane.
After walking for a while they appeared in front of a room that was used for conferences and such, after walking inside Ron spoke:
” Please have seats I will explain everything to you right here, it would be better and easier to do so with some slides. ”
Ron said and then he ordered some one to bring something to drink for everyone, after which he turned on his computer and opened a ppt.
” So, where shall we start it? ” While rubbing his palms together, Ron asked as he gazed over everyone.
” Tell me how it all started. ” Jayden spoke, but for some reason, his aura was making Ron very afraid since the moment Jayden heard about the death of the girl named Sydney.
” O- Okay, then let’s start from there. ” The room went dark as Ron began to explain along with the slides.
” I don’t understand how you all don’t know about any of this, but one unfortunate day more than an year ago when everything seemed peaceful and all the people were doing their things, a very strong storm was detected all over the world.
As strange as it was, after a few hours dark black coloured clouds filled the sky making it impossible to see anything behind them, although all of us were a little worried but what was about to happen was many times- ”
” Don’t make it so dramatic and just get to the point. ” Jayden spoke with an annoyed expression, Ron hastily apologized and then began his explanation.
” So when the storm covered the entire world, instead of water drops what rained down was completely out of expectations of all of us, it was strange looking creatures whose body size, shape and colours varied quite a bit.
At first, a lot of them died just by falling but their fall also killed and injured many humans, then somehow those creatures whom we call ‘INVADERS’ found a way to Survive the fall.
And for hours to come they kept pouring down, and they killed any and every living creature they saw on earth. ” Ron explained while pointing towards the slides.
