Chapter 52: situation after 6 months of extreme heat
With the consent from the old minister, Vicky gladly accepted the offer to help the military people as an external member.
That is he can only help and get rewards for his help.
Also he cannot command the army and other military powers will not be given to Vicky.
It is like a contract member but not a full member.
Other than that Vicky doesn’t have to follow orders and can leave if he did not like it.
But Vicky believes that he could not leave easily as his work involves the secrets of the military and military would kill to keep the secrets for the security of the country.
Vicky thought of the pros and cons and chose to enter.
He already has an escape plan if things did not go well.
Also being in the military would help him gain more number of monster cores and other rare things at lower cost.
Other than that he can get some firsthand confidential information.
………….
Usually bottom feeders know more information than a person in authority.
So the information that Vicky knows from his past life is very clear as information has saved his life many times.
Now the information is giving him a chance to step up his game and join the military as an external member.
First he returned back home and told the good news to Radha.
Then they celebrated with some sweets and a feast.
In the night they moved out to collect more repairing material for their ark space.
They both understand that as long as they formed team with another member they still needed to repair the expanded part of the space.
So they still need materials.
Since they had the chance to search around they went around and let the management system of the ark to extract and collect the materials.
Early morning they are done with the process and returned back home.
Vicky gave her a big container of water for her along with a big bathtub that they salvaged today.
She can use it to take a cold water bath and sleep peacefully early in the morning.
With that they each went into their rooms and slept peacefully.
In the evening Vicky woke up early and he is going to go to the military base set up in the city.
All he has to do is to report his name and no identification is required.
Radha did not go out at this time as Vicky told her to stay as they can move at any time soon.
They have decided to act together rather than acting independent.
It has been 6 months since the start of the apocalypse.
Because of the extreme weather most of the food is spoiled because of the improper storage.
The remaining food was spent by the normal citizens during the past 6 months.
Now there is no medicine, food and only a little amount of water.
Because of the rapid drop of water level in the reservoir with the floating population the water is restricted.
People can only get water after registering and showing their ID card.
Well this is only for the citizens and the higher up don’t need this process.
The people are already severely dissatisfied.
The southern area was severely damage.
The flood area was mostly at the coastal region that acts as the granary of the southern India.
The humidity after has destroyed the other government storages and the remaining food materials were taken by the big people.
The high temperature caused the wood and leaves to dry and this created the forest fires killing the wild life and burning the free food in the forests.
Because of this the entire southern India was out of food except for the cities that are concentrated with big people.
With that the intelligent citizens also started to move to these big cities for food and water.
During that time the villages and other places with little extra food were attacked and looted.
This increased the population in these big shelters causing the pressure on water reserves and food reserves here.
Because of the low security around the city and streets the law and order was already gone.
The small gangs that would be usually quite started to show their fangs and prey on the citizens.
The lucky ones escaped while the unlucky ones has become the lost cause.
Radha is strong but Vicky don’t want her to go anywhere out.
She can fight 10 people but what if there are sneak attacks and there are more than 10 people.
These thoughts made Vicky to stop her from going out.
In the past life he stayed in this place of another 4 months before moving to the bases in the north.
But now they are moving 4 months early.
After 4 months the general citizens would start riots and big incidents to get food and water from the military.
At that time they desperately move away from here to go straight to north by sticking to some big people.
North is also not good with most of the land dried up.
But the few dams and reservoirs that were constructed on the big rivers has saved them this time.
As soon as the heat started to stopped the water flowing out of the big reservoirs and diverted some to fill up the prepared storage area to the brim.
This happened 2 months after the start of the apocalypse.
This incident also causes the territorial problems with the surrounding nations.
Well from micro level to the macro level that is from a quarrel between the two farmers to the quarrel between the two countries it is always about water distribution.
Water is the source of life and the main resources that can cause a war to break out between the two countries.
The apocalypse of extreme heat would not affect the lives but the lack of water would.
……….
While remembering things Vicky came to the military…….
