Chapter 134: Building the wall

Ivan disappeared before anyone could say anything. It wasn’t until more than an hour later that he returned, and when he did, he brought good news.

“Everyone’s already started. How much more CL do we need?”

“I’m sorry…what?” Ember couldn’t help but be confused.

“Sex, You said you wanted people to have more sex. I made it happen. So how much more do we need?”

Hearing Ivan say he convinced everyone to have sex in this kind of heat sounded like a dream. Even he wasn’t pinning Cassia down like he used to. Now, he’s saying he was able to get others to do it?

But when Ember checked the CL, she noticed it had indeed shot up. This was only possible with large-scale sex events. Not to mention, now that they have more than 100 people in the base, it moved quickly.

Ember stared at Ivan as if she were trying to see through him.

“What did you do?”

“Nothing major. Just told them have sex or die.” Ivan shrugged as if he hadn’t just admitted to threatening people.

“And that worked?” Adrienne asked in disbelief

“Not really. So I just explained the situation. I told them that the reason they are in this situation is because of themselves. They know that sex powers the base, but they aren’t having sex. In the short time they have been here, they have gotten comfortable. So if they don’t want to die, they need to fuck.”

“Honestly, if it works, I’m all for it,” Aiden commented.

They all knew that these people took what they said about the base being powered by sex lightly. It could be seen in the amount of CL Ember has gotten since they arrived.

Though the amount had increased solely based on numbers, it didn’t increase as much as it should have. But Ember didn’t want tocut off their rations.

Now, Ember could see that sometimes, they needed to take drastic measures. Even if it means having some kind of sex rotation, she needed to talk to the members.

“All that’s left to do is see how much they can generate. I won’t join the fun. If you guys want to…”

Ember continued to lean against her chair, watching the numbers.

What they didn’t hear while waiting was the common rooms filled with the sounds of moans. Everyone was drenched in sweat. They wanted to pause but didn’t dare.

There was a literal circle of people giving each other 69. One person pinned their partner to a wall, one leg lifted, and was pounding away inside her. The sweat was visibly rolling off their bodies.

In another section, two women were lying on top of each other, and a man was plunging inside them. Their bodies glided over each other.

These kinds of scenes were everywhere. People are desperately coupling, not just for the pleasure of sex, but for their lives.

Ivan explained it clearly to them. They knew they were wrong in that matter, so they made sure to do what was needed.

If they wanted to live in a cool place, they needed to do what they had been putting off. They learned that to enjoy the luxuries they have now, they need to work for them.

So, after more than two hours, the base finally had 200,000 CL to upgrade its defenses.

CE, we need to upgrade the wall.

[Ready. Upgrade complete in ten minutes.]

Ten minutes felt like forever when the sun was baking your body. But they endured. When the time was finally done, the difference was visible.

Before, they felt like they were experiencing the worst sauna. Now it felt like a simple spring breeze.

Everyone cheered so loud that Ember and the others could hear it.

They never expected there would be such a day. When people are cheering for such a small wind. But still, it taught them a lesson.

“Looks like we’re going to need Ivan to step up more often.” Marcus clapped Ivan on the back.

“Nope! I shouldn’t have to step up. They made the choice when they joined, so why are we begging them to have sex?” He turned to Ember and Aiden. “You should have a sex tax.”

“That would require me to keep track of everyone and when they fuck. That’s not a good job.”

Ember said it, but couldn’t help thinking that she might need to do just that.

“Maybe a meeting first,” Aiden suggested. “If they really don’t want to contribute to the base, just kick them out. Other people are willing to join and make it work.”

They thought about it for a moment. Everyone agreed that it made sense to talk to the members about it.

Ivan was also asked to go out and get more members.

“Are all of you trying to kill me?” He threw his hands up, ready to give up.

“The upgrade included the office. Stop being a big bitch.” Ember replied.

Immediately, he stopped pouting. “I knew you loved little sister.”

“Love my ass. I’m trying to get rid of you.” Ember shook her head and looked at this ’old man’ in disappointment.”How exactly does Cassia deal with you?”

“Same way Aiden deals with you.”

Before they continued bickering, Aiden pulled them apart. He couldn’t help thinking that no matter how long they had known each other, they still couldn’t get along.

“Let’s take some time, get ourselves in order, and then have a meeting with everyone. This kind of thing shouldn’t be happening.”

Aiden hugged Ember after speaking and walked towards their room. Everyone else took the cue and left. They were hot and stinky and not at all in the mood to continue to be so.

After they finished having a bath, they needed to address the situation of the ’sex tax.’

Ember sent out a message to everyone to meet in the lecture hall in an hour. It was explicitly stated that everyone needed to be there. Even the topic of the meeting was given.

This way, they all know what they did wrong.
