The people in this area were happy, they'd work hard when it's time for work and rex or go out to have fun or seek entertainment when there wasn't.

  Those who wanted more entertainment or a different type of fun for a change could just get in a vehicle and be in the capital city of this state in less than twenty minutes.

  Meanwhile Bryan was personally supervising the rate his storage areas are getting filled with consumption products while keeping watch on the other side of the borders, his time would be spent taking different trials in the simution chamber daily before heading inside the grassnd to do his physical exercises which became like a routine he'd never miss before getting his meal and a bit of rest then continue with all the training reted to Vitality.

  Lately he's been expelling both the glittering white and yellow spots from his body instead of impurities but whenever more of these spots got removed from his system... Bryan would feel like a burden was removed from his physique.

  During his vein tests he'd notice that there's progress but it's a bit slow and whenever he attempted to do the first combat sequence he'd find maneuvering the wisp much easier and natural.

  What was shocking was how the patch of grass absorbed these white and yellow spots while the area was covered by the vapor which protected the spots from the sun rays, Bryan barely noticed it happen thanks to his sharp sight and indeed that grass was way too hard to cut and felt like steel sheets!

  He was hesitating whether to feed it to the animals but once their eyes fell on it they turned red and maddened as if their deepest instinct was calling them to feed on it.

  Bryan subdued them one by one and gave the herbivores their share of the grass while Shawn and Scott watched in total confusion because these animals are usually so calm, gentle, and tame... Unless they're mating which usually feels like they're trying to transmit everything into their partner while breeding as if knowing that their generation would mostly end once their seed grows.

  Olivia's horses are maturing nicely but it'd be a month or two more before they reach the age where they could breed but Bryan still fed them all from that special grass because he doesn't know what effects are going to be so he had to test on all of the animals to understand what's going on.

  The next time he did his vein test was under the sun and like usual it should've been his body expelling the impurities through sweating but Bryan choose to sit in the center of the area where Shawn and Scott pnted all sorts of different fruit trees and vegetables.

  Towards the end when he was at the st stretch of moving the wisp of Vitality between the nodes and no longer able to continue or he'd damage the passageway of his vein system, Bryan released a sigh and let go of the red-brown wisp which had a bright silver dot in the center.

  Opening his eyes he saw the state which his body was in... rope-like roots were covering his body and slowly started to unwrap once he stopped testing his veins!

  The immediate result was the rapid growth of all the pnts in the area around him and they all started to produce double the normal amount which was already way higher than the normal amount of any pnt outside the grassnd.

  The puppies are all grown now after eating all sorts of nutritious food, the size on some of them was quite massive indeed and the bodyguards were taking special care of training them to be the best guard dogs ever and the startling fact is that all of them were superior to other dogs from the same species in every aspect but especially in intelligence.

  The dies made sure to collect all the special fruits from the much bigger trees and have Linda create all sorts of amazing drinks for them while vegetables were almost always handed to the kitchen staff to include in the meals.

  Alex was having fun competing with all these strong men and women, during his chilling time he'd be making all sorts of meals in the kitchen and teaching the staff how to cook but they'd be getting all touchy-feely with him for some reason!

  Once again Shawn and Scott were left wondering what's going on while watching the animals grow way faster which sped-up the cycle of their maturity and resulted in the early retirement of the older generations once the younger generation matured.

  All residents on top of the mountain received their share of the meat, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and seeds which resulted in them being unable to miss noticing the unbelievable improvements to the health, beauty, and strength of their physiques.

  So they unanimously agreed to repay that young man with hard work, once they heard from Jessica about how all of his dies choose to learn something which would be of use to their community in a time of need... They all decided to specialize in something and used their free time to accumute information about that topic before beginning to gain practical experience once the materials they require to perform the tasks were delivered.

  Sofia had everyone make a list of all the products they might require then had them ordered in bulk while Bryan used a vacant piece of nd near the foot of the mountain and dug all of it at night then next morning everyone helped him build the underground storage space which has two main entrances on each side and a third that's linked to a long tunnel in case of an emergency.

  Now Bryan could really say that with these people on his side they could fix almost everything and resolve all problems.

  Still he was worried because so far the only ones with clear signs of actually reaching the first major cleansing are Linnet and Kristel, the former because she's showing natural compatibility with these Vitality-Harnessing methods while the tter is because she's the most disciplined among all his dies and kept pushing her limits at least twice daily even when she's pregnant for the second time and shouldn't stay for too long inside the grassnd.

  The reason for Bryan's worries is reted to the most annoying, dangerous, and hard to avoid creatures which resulted in the spread of all sorts of diseases and caused various kinds of agonizing deaths to befall human kind once the outbreak happened.

  Bugs!

  Only the ones who were lucky enough to experience their cleansing had an immunity strong enough to withstand the unknown pathogens and a vitality burning hot to rebel the sickness whenever it attacked their bodies.

  Even Bryan who has thick skin would be foolish if he thought that it'd be impossible or hard for any bug to penetrate his defenses, the variety of potent acids or unique liquids some of these bugs secrete could actually melt a bronze-skinned Zombie which were the ones Linnet on the other world had to take seriously!

  The second-most annoying were the birds who just like the animals of the wildlife would evolve and roam the world with even more freedom, whatever their sharp eyes see could always be the next interesting target.

  'Sigh... We can only do our best to keep our spot clean and clear of all that nuisance but so far our only option is to grow our physical strength, provide ourselves with the best protection, and arm ourselves with sufficient firepower.' Bryan thought while sitting to have his breakfast but his eyes were on the screen of his phone which is dispying the atrocious acts the army of their neighboring country to the east is performing during their sudden assault.

  Just like how he told Tiana, they didn't dare to target the country which recovered its economy and its president just returned after touring the world and improving foreign retions with the great majority of them while making business deals with most of the strongest countries.

  Indeed their targets for expansion were north and east which gave Tiana the opportunity to order her generals to fortify their numbers and gear on the eastern borders while pushing with full force for the construction of the armory to be completed but the severe requirements for it to be well-fortified means that it'd take time for each stage to meet the strict standards of quality.

  What nobody noticed was that the big hospital in such a secluded part of the country had the elite working in it and the school-complex only recruited the best of the best in every position!

  Meanwhile Charlotte and Natalie who returned to the country and received all sorts of praise and the best welcome, listened to Bryan's advice and recruited the best researchers and thinkers while giving them the promises of being provided with the best funding and the best working environment to do their research and the right circles of brilliant minds to come up with the best ideas.

  Tiana also communicated with the deans of every college in all universities in the country and had them make all sorts of competitions to elect the best candidates in every subject under the pretense of having them rewarded before repeating the competition between them and foreign scientists from the rest of the countries all-over the world.

  Bryan of course would take the cram of the crop and make whatever reason to keep all of them within reach until the timing is right to keep them forever.

  The final step on his list is to gather knowledge, whatever humanity has learned he needs to accumute it, make sure there's enough copies of it stored in different locations, and give those within and without his community the opportunity to access it with ease.

  That way people wouldn't be pushed a few thousands of year back in history by the time the next generation was born after the outbreak happened, maybe that was the worst tragedy ever because those of the next generations who had parents who could use technology and access all sorts of knowledge while using extremely lethal firepower were forced to melee fights and use their fists as weapons once the firearms malfunctioned or ran out of ammunition after they lost their parents.

  Simply because not all of them got the chance to learn everything from their parents in the short and rare times they got to have a break and rest from all the fighting, most of the times their parents would be more focused on teaching them how and what to do to survive instead of how to read, write, or use whatever piece of technology that they may or may not find on their travel searching for supplies or to make some distance between them and the threat which never take a break and is always on the move.

  'I guess it's time for Peter to contact the people of the underworld and spread the news about our products which are of excellent quality and are going to be avaible in their markets whenever they need our supply.' Bryan thought while giving Alex a fist bump after the man sat next to him and signaled for the butlers to give him something to eat.

  "This is crazy... These bastards are committing war crimes in front of the whole world." Alex groaned while watching the scenes of death and destruction on the screen.

  Bryan nodded and said nothing but he was pnning to profit by sucking the economy of their neighboring country almost dry and empty their treasuries before their fall.
