Real, moist, kitchen warmth, carrying the ghost of beef broth and garlic. Martha screamed for it. Chloe lurched forward. A folded thermal blanket came through the hatch. Then a sealed bottle of water. Then a sheet of paper, printed, crisp, and obscene in a place where nothing was crisp anymore. A map of the Apex Horizon's sub-levels. Sub-level two was circled. "There's a generator on two," Elena's voice came through the speaker. "Diesel. Loud. Running since last night. A group of men with orange armbands are using the east ramp as an outpost.

“The four Strontium-90 isotope heating batteries, and right beside them in the Mayor’s wall safe is the cryo-crate containing my high-yield thermal potato tubers. Miss Smith, each one of those silver batteries can power an entire underground agricultural wing and heat twenty thousand square feet of bunker space for thirty years without a single drop of diesel.” Dr. Elena Lin frowned as she finished bandaging Director Warren Miles’s ribs in the back seat. “With two thousand rioters blocking the lower ten floors and the elevators dead, how are you supposed to reach the sixtieth floor?

"Friday, seven in the morning. The first drop on the glass. By nightfall, every hospital in the city is full. People on the floors. People in the parking lots." Saturday the Internet dies then the phones next. "Saturday night. The last thing I saw online was a man on a roof, screaming at the sky." Sun down. Power out in Crown District first. "And Sunday."

She went to her wooden bed in the cave and sat on it. Before she came here, she collected a lot of herbs and seeds in case of an emergency. Soheila took out some herbs to refine the Rebirth pill. Rebirth pill is a pill to change all the bones to make them sturdier and clean the meridians, and that can also level up.

In the weeks following the collapse of the Sub-Level 13 boardroom, the golden tree that had erupted from the Mercy Vault began to spread its influence.
