211 Ambrosia Cartel: Part 18 (2/2)

Patrick clicked the yes button and the land in front of that suitcase turned barren land first. Trees started to die down and started to rot into the ground. It seemed as if everything was accelerated by that tool alone.

The base would be built in under four hours, but it was still a very long time. However, Patrick and Lynn weren't bored since the terraforming phase looked like a youtube timelapse video albeit more realistic. The land turned into a flat land that was suitable for airfield. Concrete roads started appearing on the barren land.

Slowly, building started appearing in the form of hangars and living quarters. The ATC tower was the first building that was completed by that terraforming tool and followed by the asphalt runway that was located next to the taxiway that led to the unfinished hangar.

Meanwhile, Patrick and Lynn had started opening their MREs since they were very hungry. Patrick opened his packages of MRE and reheated it with the heat bags that it provided. They had made fire in that middle of forest. Patrick liked the idea of eating in the middle of forest since it was quite romantic.

It felt like a candlelight dinner for both Lynn and Patrick. Well, they only had candlelight dinner once in their livetime and it was when the old country hadn't broken into a major civil war. Patrick looked at Lynn's dirty face that had been filled with dirt from the trees that were never touched by humans before. Patrick looked at Lynn that was sipping on that soup that the MRE provided for her.

”What are you looking at?” Lynn asked.

”Hmm, You?” Patrick smiled.

Lynn chuckled. She just liked Patrick. Patrick also liked Lynn. Both of them had gone through their hardships together. Although Patrick only helped her after Lynn killed that president of the student council. He helped her with her mental health and it managed to keep her sane during her 9th grade.

They ate as they watched the base that was built right in front of their eyes. The three hours of waiting felt like nothing since they were chatting and making jokes on each other. They didn't realise that the process had finished since they were taking their time in relaxing in that forest. If not for the loud noise that the terraforming tool produced, they wouldn't realise that the base had been completed.

Both of them picked up their backpack and Patrick extinguished the fire that was in the ground. They walked to the gate of that base. The gate was a simple gate with a security checkpoint that hadn't been filled with guards. They put their PDA on the card reader on the gate and the gate was automatically opened.

Once they stepped into the base, the place where they were sitting was turned into a road that lead to nowhere. It could be expanded, but they didn't need another road inside of Panama yet. They wanted to stay in that base first. They would only build the road once there were enough personnel inside of that base.

Their destination was the Air Traffic Control tower. They needed to help guiding those planes that would delivering personnel and stuffs. Patrick and Lynn put their backpack in front of the ATC tower and they entered that building. The building seemed to be automated since the air conditioner had been turned on once they arrived at the top of that tower.

The giant radar dish seemed to be functional and it detected one C-5 galaxy that was coming to that base. However, the details of the mission said that the C-5 would be accompanied by two squadrons that were equipped with F-23.

Patrick: ”ATC to Sierra Lima Delta Five Six Zero. The runway is clear.”

Pilot: ”SLD-560, copy that tower. We are in the altitude of 2,000 meters. ETA is three minutes.”

Patrick: ”Copy that SLD-560, I have a visual on you.”

There was a C-5 approaching from the horizon and some dark planes. Those dark planes were most likely to be the stealth fighter jet. They landed one by one into the runway and Patrick guided them. Lynn had gone downstairs to see the leader of that division.

”Ok, time to work.” Patrick put the headphone on the table and he headed outside to greet the commander of that base.
