Chapter 168: 165. Her dad
It wasn't long before they got close to the camp. The walls were even higher as they were close that afar. The large metal gates slid upwards as it opened and they all went in. there were a lot of people outside who looked at the group that Jane, Dexter`s mom, brought into the camp.
Seeing the new faces in the camp made the people shocked and surprised as it has been a long time since they saw fresh human faces in the camp.
The camp itself had huge structures like buildings, except that they were all shorter than the fence. Everyone seemed to be well and no noise could be heard.
"I`ll be with you guys soon, check in with the man over there," Jane said as she left the area while yawning and then Dexter looked at the man which his mother pointed at before and then he went towards him.
The man had short brown hair and had a bored expression. He had yellowish coloured eyes and he gazed at the small group who approached him from his counter.
"New survivors?" The man mumbled as he saw them but then he frowned as he noticed that they were all in uniform outfit of black and gold which was odd for survivors.
"I`ve never seen you guys around here before," he said with a welcoming smile but his eyes remained partly closed.
"We`re new," Dexter said while looking at the man at the counter with a nonchalant expression.
"Alright then." The man said and then brought out a huge book from underneath the counter.
"I need your names, previous location, skills and level." The man said and the others looked at each other before they frowned at him.
...
"Can you believe that guy? He wanted to know our skills." Kila shook hear head as she walked with them towards the general eating area.
"There are so many people here," Lily mumbled as she looked around and then she went to Dexter.
"I chose a job class today."
Dexter looked at Lily with an astonished look and then he smiled subtly.
"What rank of job class did you choose?" He asked.
"Legendary." Lily replied to Dexter and Dexter was confused as of this moment.
'I don't know much about the ranks but from my gaming experience there should be from common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, and mythical classes. I got a unique class which was made for me alone. Getting a legendary class could be considered extremely lucky.' Dexter thought and then he looked at Lily.
"That's very good, we should go hunting sometime." Dexter said to her and Lily looked excited as Dexter said that.
Unfortunately, the males and the females' buildings were quite far away from each other. Except you're a married couple, you won't be allowed to share the same room with a woman.
It was very efficient as there would be decreased rate of rape and stuff relating to that.
"See you guys later." Dexter said as he waved at them and then he left them and entered into the males area.
He entered into his designated building and made his way to the room which he was given a key for.
There, he saw three beds in the triangular shaped room and two people already occupying two of the beds.
Dexter shut the door and walked into the room, not even paying attention to the other people in the room and just walked to bed number three and laid down.
"And you are?" A voice came from closeby and Dexter turned his head to look at the bed which was close to his and saw a young man looking at him with a confused expression.
The man had low cut hair and a pair of glasses and his pair of grey eyes were striking as a feature.
"Mark assigned me here." Dexter replied before shitting his eyes and the second individual who had long shoulder length brown hair and a pair of blue eyes and he only glanced at Dexter before he continued what he was doing on his notepad.
The guy with short hair just returned to what he was doing, not even talking about anything.
...
The next Day, Jane met Dexter in the morning walking around the camp and she joined him.
"What are you doing up so early?" Jane asked her son and Dexter sighed tiredly.
"I'm not feeling very well." He said and Jane didn't believe what he said and just let out a sigh of her own.
"They're gone, and there's nothing we can do. Thinking about them won't solve your problems." Jane said as tears trickled down her cheeks and Dexter wiped her tears with his fingers.
"It just happened so fast." Dexter said as he shook his head and then he sprinted forward, leaving dust behind him and Jane's subtle smile left from her face and then she walked back.
...
The sun was already out and Dexter was in his anti-darlight coat and they all met up after they ate.
"It was a shock to me too." Hannah said to Dexter and Dexter smiled bitterly at her.
"I knew my dad wouldn't die easily in this apocalypse, but for him to raise and entire camp on his own is no surprise." Hannah said with a proud nod.
Her father was a general in the US military after all, so he was in charge of a lot of assets.
They were just hearing about it this morning that Hannah's dad one who was in charge of the camp right now and she decided to go see her father.
"It's been so long." Hannah said excitedly and she rushed away towards the middle of the camp.
Dexter followed her from behind as he also knew her dad. Let it not look like he didn't want to see the man.
The head building wasn't as big as it sounded from other people's mouths. It was only a one storey building which was painted green on the outside.
Hannah breathed out as she opened the door and they both went in to see a small crowd of people waiting downstairs and they just walked towards the guard in white soldier uniform who was standing beside the stairs leading upwards.
"We're going to see the camp leader." Hannah said to the man beside the stairs and the looked at her from head to toe before looking at Dexter and doing the same.
"If you want to see the camp leader you'll have to wait." The guard said and Hannah got frustrated.
"So I should wait for just wanting to see my own father?" Hannah asked the guard and then the man looked shocked as he recognized her face.
"Hannah? How did...? When...?" The guard was at a loss for words as he didn't even expect for Hannah to be at this camp. Most of the soldiers recognized Hannah as the general's daughter.
Hannah only moved past the guard and went upstairs and so did Dexter.
"Hey, why was she allowed to go upstairs?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"He was deceived by her beauty."
"This guard I swear I'll..."
"This is unfair, I'm pretty too."
The people suddenly began to complain and the guard shot the ground with his gun, making the loud banging sound echo all around the room and everyone kept quiet after that.
"That was the leader's daughter." The guard said and he took was shocked at her appearance.
'She was sent to Lagos state university in Nigeria, so how did she get here?' The guard brainstormed but then he couldn't find an answer for the question as the ocean and the skies were no-go areas.
...
They soon arrived at a room's door upstairs, Dexter followed Hannah and she opened the door with a smile and walked in.
A muscular brown skinned man who was at a desk suddenly looked up at Hannah and then he stood up in shock.
"Father!" Hannah shouted before running and embracing her dad dearly.
"Hannah... What...? How...?" Her father was at a loss for words and then his confused expression turned grim when he saw Dexter walk into the room.
"It's nice to see you, Mr Dian." Dexter said with a smile at the man and he looked at his daughter and Dexter and noticed them wearing matching outfits.
"Ah, bro...!" A familiar voice came from the couch nearby and Dexter looked there to see two familiar people sitting there and his smile turned grim.
He saw a bald monk smiling at him while waving. The monk was in a white and black outfit which was quite different from the normal white he used to wear.
"Err... Lin?" Dexter asked and Lin bai hopped off of the chair towards Dexter and shook his hand.
"You remembered!" Lin Bai then began to ask Dexter how he got to USA and then the second person on the couch, a lady with black long hair and a slender body, wearing a black lipstick sat.
"Dad, how've you been?" Hannah asked and Mr Dian shook his head and looked at his wonderful daughter who he thought was dead.
"I tried reaching you so many times, I thought I lost you. I'm glad you're alive." He said as he hugged Hannah again and then he looked at Dexter.
"I hope you're not still together with him." Mr Dian pointed Dexter with a frown and Hannah raised a brow.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because--"
The door of the room suddenly opened and then a young man stepped in with a cold gaze. Dexter felt a chill behind him and then he saw the second person who was with Lin Bai when he visited heaven's tower.
