DOOMSDAY ROMANCE: SPACE POWER

CHAPTER 03 : DISCOVERY

We were preparing for our journey to the government base or bases, unsure if there was more than one base established by the government. I asked Harry about his age to get to know him better, and he informed me that he was currently 29 years old. Impressed by his professional achievements, I complimented him on his intelligence. He modestly accepted the compliment, laughing sheepishly.

As we headed to the government bases, we had to be cautious of not only zombies but also greedy humans who posed a threat. I expressed my disappointment in people revealing their true nature. I thanked Harry, a doctor who had taken care of me during my coma. I also vented my frustration towards certain families and my ex-fiancé, harboring negative feelings towards them. I believed it was necessary to be careful since people possessed abilities that could be used in dangerous situations. Harry calculated that some individuals might awaken these abilities, hoping they would use them for good.

We arrived in an abandoned city after leaving the cave and sought refuge in an abandoned building, which turned out to be a hardware store. Despite only three days passing since the apocalypse began, the destruction had already taken a toll on the signs of humanity. The store was in disarray, with scattered items on the floor. It seemed like a punishment for humanity's wickedness and disturbing acts, leaving me in awe of the devastation. I glanced at Harry, contemplating his actions. Suddenly, he remarked that something unusual was occurring. There were no signs of lurking zombies in this small city. I agreed, finding it eerie. We speculated that the abandoned city might be a hideout for people with hidden abilities.

A car parked a few blocks away from us, catching our attention. People emerged from the car, scanning their surroundings. Among them was a girl with brown hair who exuded authority, standing confidently beside six muscular men. She ordered a man with a skull tattoo to prepare her bed. He responded disrespectfully, using derogatory language towards her.
The other men smirked and fixated their gaze on the girl, attired in a crop top and skirt. Despite these questionable fashion choices amid an apocalypse, Harry and I remained hidden in a small room, remaining cautious of their presence. We were concerned that they might have a member with unique abilities who could pose a threat to Harry.

As I thought about our situation, a sudden headache overwhelmed me, causing me to pass out while seated across from Harry.

Switching to Harry's perspective, we found ourselves concealed in small rooms together. Despite the dirt smudging her face, Rhe's beauty couldn't be ignored. It wasn't just the concern I felt as a doctor for a patient; there was an indescribable connection with her. Watching her unexpectedly pass out, I held her hips gently, staring at her troubled face. I couldn't help but wonder why this was happening, especially in the presence of these strange people in an unusual city. Meanwhile, the opposing group wreaked havoc under the leadership of a bossy girl. Her ability to manipulate others through eye contact earned her followers. This girl, Sia Tong, boasted fake blond hair and a penchant for collecting attractive men.

Sia Tong commanded a man with a skull tattoo, covered in grime, to prepare her bed. In response, he reluctantly obeyed, using disrespectful language towards her.
Sia Tong expressed her disappointment, reprimanding him for his unattractiveness and denying him special treatment. Later, Sia Tong selected one of the brown-haired men as her companion, retreating to a room on the second floor for intimate activities.

The other men on the first floor smirked while the mistreated man seethed with anger. Despite the mistreatment, he found solace in Sia Tong's choice, as he aspired to find a woman who would appreciate him for who he was. Unfortunately, he couldn't escape his circumstances, forced to serve as a makeshift errand boy and bait for zombies since his power hadn't awakened yet.

I, Jared Lee, half Chinese and American, consoled myself for not being taken advantage of in such a harsh environment.
Harry cradled Lin Rhe in his arms, preparing to move to another building once the opposing group settled in a nearby structure. He feared for Lin Rhe's well-being, as her sudden fainting without prior warning caused him distress. With her pointed nose and silver hair, she held a special place in his heart, surpassing the typical concern he felt as a doctor.
Determined to protect her, Harry reassured himself that together they would survive the apocalyptic scenario.
As Lin Rhe slowly opened her eyes, she found herself immersed in a mesmerizing space. The vast land stretched out before her, covering an impressive one hectare, while a magnificent waterfall graced the surroundings with its graceful flow of water. Lying on the open land, she slowly rose to her feet and felt an unmistakable pull towards the cascading waterfall, yearning to drink its refreshing waters.

Overwhelmed by the sheer existence of this extraordinary space, Lin Rhe couldn't help but feel a sense of shock. Her memory was a bit hazy, but she distinctly remembered passing out in the comforting presence of Doc Harry. It was unbelievable that she had awakened in this serene environment, with only a single tree, the captivating waterfall, and the tranquil expanse of land encompassing her surroundings.

Excitement coursed through Lin Rhe's veins as she contemplated the possibilities. Could it be that she had developed her very own unique power, one that was somehow connected to space? The thought filled her with anticipation and wonder. She eagerly envisioned how this newfound ability, which she nicknamed "space power," could be utilized and further honed. She realized that it held immense potential for various situations, whether in times of danger or as a means of personal growth and empowerment.

With a sparkle of enthusiasm in her eyes, Lin Rhe eagerly embraced the opportunity to explore and unlock the unlimited potential of her "space power." She was determined to master and refine this extraordinary ability, fully aware of the incredible possibilities that lay ahead.
