The Good Land: No More | TWICE & ITZY Book 2

19) Finding A Generator

It was time to help the settlement and to find a generator to power the radio generator. Jihyo and Yeji gathered the girls together leading and planning.

"We need a group to search for a generator and those who are staying will help to get food rations and work around the settlement." Jihyo said.
"Who wants to go outside first?" Yeji asked.
Only three raised their hands.
Tzuyu, Sana and Chaeryeong.
"I'll go too." Jihyo joined.
"Alright, we need people to also find food rations and stay in the settlement." Yeji stroke her black hair around to the back.

In the end, the groups had split into 4, 5, 4. The group that offered to find rations were Nayeon, Mina, Yeji and Yuna who were dedicated to help out. Jeongyeon, Momo, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Ryujin stayed in the settlement and to help around the settlers.

Jihyo's team packed their bags and washed their faces ready for the outside in search of one generator. That was their ticket way out of this hell-zone.
"We're going." Sana clung onto her assault rifle as the group exited the gates.
"Be careful you guys!" Chaeyeon called.
They waved before they departed into the town.
"Where should we go first?" Yeji asked as they stopped near an open space with abandoned cars in the lot.
Tzuyu looked forward and saw a sign this time it was still intact as she read, "Busan Station."
Sana tilted her head as she heard her, "This could be a good find."
"Ah right." Jihyo was the first to takeover, as usual, they followed her into the entrance.

The inside was not different from any building they had came across. Abandoned and trashed, this time it felt more welcoming not minding the vulgar writings on the walls. On entering, they had already split off on their own, Lia and Chaeryeong followed each other into a secure area, one rustic door was opened ajar.

"You first." Chaeryeong pushed her friend forwards.
"Oh, great." Lia said, moving forward with slight carefulness. Peering into the dark room which surprisingly had been left untouched, only the outside sun illuminated parts of the room, Lia stepped inside the small room seeing blank computer monitors and buttons that were now useless. There was a post-it note on the office chair reading, 'Call Head Security'.

"I think this was where the security was stationed." Lia said, Chaeryeong headed inside,
"This is the most tidiest room I've seen in a while."
"Don't think we'll find a generator here." Chaeryeong started to head out, but she was tugged back.
Lia pointed at the corner of the room, they had realised there was pile of books covered with dust.
"I'm sure that's nothing." Chaeryeong said.

"But aren't you curious?" Lia replied with a devious smile and grabbed the first book wiping off the dust covering the title. A journal. With their curiosity, they peeked inside it, but were met with disheartening words as whoever wrote it was filled with anger and disdain. The entries had non-stop hatred for the world that they had to live in. The constant fear of the unknown and sudden death that would crawl over your insides. They shut the journal without finishing it.

"I feel sorry for them." Chaeryeong sighed.
Lia nodded, "I don't blame them for thinking like this... but that's how everyone thinks right?"
Chaeryeong saw it, the sadness in her eyes. Even if she was a part of the group like a family, she had been through a lot, but not just her, everyone else she met on the way were more secretive of their own emotions.
"We should go." Lia faintly smiled as she exited the room.

It had been a while, the sun had already started to set and soon darkness would be upon them. Nothing seemed to stick out to them, no generators or anything that would be useful.
Tzuyu even searched the outside hoping she could find anything. It was no use, she sluggishly walked back inside. That's when she heard roars of laughter echoing from one part of the station., she had barely gotten to the entrance and she recognised the two voices. Sana and Jihyo sat on a bench as they playfully pushed each other.
