905 Stronghold

Emery strolled around the settlement, walking through a place that ran deep into an underground cave. Inside he saw more people gathering and huddling together. Half of them were women and children. Hundreds, by no means, were in ideal conditions to be moved.

The one who led him through this place was the young boy from before. He was called Jim, the son of General Solosa, who led and took charge of this place. 

"Thank you, mister, for saving our lives." The boy said before taking off.

Emery watched as the boy ran towards a corner, where people were busy making things needed to survive in this apocalyptic world such as food and medicines.

Then, to his surprise, Jim took out a handful of flowers with striking light blue petals and handed them over to those people. He could clearly see the surprise as well as delight on those people's faces when they saw the flowers in the boy's hands.
