Chapter 20: Collapse of the Quinn Empire.
Hades climbed into the car and closed his eyes, thinking on the newest information that she had given him. It seemed, he would have to get a map and ask her to mark off those safe and green zones.
If and when they survived the apocalypse, he would begin rebuilding his business empire. The safest places to invest in or start from would be those areas.
As for what she said about selling off his assets, the plans were already underway. When he woke up to the rain just like Sunshine had said and he received a heavily deducted report from the scientists involved in the project, he knew then that something was wrong.
If the government was proud of the success of the project, why deduct details? The scientists should have been proud and showing off to investors that their investment had paid off. Instead, they were hiding the results of their research.
Anytime a company that sought his investment behaved that way, he would reject them. Ninety nine percent of the time, they turned out to be fraudulent businesses.
So, he had called his CFO, lawyers and bankers and instructed them to work as team and sell off all his property except for the first house that he ever bought. He kept it for sentimental reasons. Maybe it would still be standing five years later.
"Should I include information about awakening and super humans?" Sunshine shook him awake, asking a question.
Hades was jolted out of his thoughts. "You mentioned those a few times. What kind of superpowers will people awaken. Do you know what will trigger it?"
Talking about the apocalypse was something she loved to do so she was glad to do so."For some there was no explanation, in some cases it was infection of the mist, for others it was through killing the monsters from the mist. One scientist discovered a way to use the bodies of the monsters to make awakening agents. But they were so expensive that only a lucky few got their hands on them.
And even after awakening, one needed to train and force their body to exceed normal limits in order to upgrade. Around the fourth year of the apocalypse, a ranking list was made, and super humans were lumped into classes. S for superior to F for the lowest ranks."
Hades was fascinated, he wanted to hear more.
