Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Space Capsule
Lucas curiously watched Kyra, his tail wagging energetically as a smile lit up her face. She gently caressed his head.
"Are you curious about what’s in that bag or where it went? I’ll show you," Kyra said softly with small smile.
Lucas raised his eyes toward her, clearly intrigued.
Kyra’s smile widened as she noticed Lucas’s excitement. She tapped her wrist twice, and a bracelet appeared on her hand. The bracelet was simple yet beautiful, featuring a round, sparkling diamond in the center.
Kyra quickly pressed a button on the bracelet, and Lucas’s eyes widened in amazement as something shiny manifested on her hand.
A robotic voice spoke, [Please verify your fingerprint to start.]
A small screen appeared on Kyra’s hand. Lucas growled at the unfamiliar object, unsettled by the light it emitted and the voice it produced.
"No, Lucas, it’s not a threating," Kyra reassured him. She rubbed his head, enjoying the softness of his fur.
The robotic voice spoke again, [Identification completed! Please input a six-digit passcode. Please note, after inputting the password, the next time you use the space capsule, you will only need your fingerprint.]
Kyra looked at the screen. She remembered that the last time she had used the device, she had shut it down for an update, which took several months to complete.
She wasn’t worried about the bag’s safety, as only she could access it. Although she could grant access to another person by adding their fingerprint, it was a lengthy process she had not yet undertaken.
But she has to verify herself again because she didn’t use it after the update.
The screen lit up, displaying a basic interface:
[ Start ]
[ Theme ]
[ Design Custom Theme ]
[ Leave ]
She tapped on "Theme," and the screen presented various options:
A robotic voice chimed in, "Please select your theme to open capsule."

Accompanying the list were photos of each theme. In her world, even before the apocalypse, such devices were commonplace. This particular capsule was invented during the second stage of the apocalypse when zombies grew more powerful. As many perished and cities crumbled, this innovation became vital.
The space capsule was a potent device, capable of customizing living spaces within a small area to appear much larger inside.
"Which one do you like?" Kyra asked, watching Lucas eagerly explore the photos. She breathed a sigh of relief, glad to see him momentarily distracted.
Lucas, fascinated by the novelty, pointed to his preferred choice.
Kyra glanced over and saw ➤ Sci-Fi Haven.
She chuckled and tapped [Select].
Confirming her choice, a small square device appeared in her hands.
As Kyra prepared to step down from the bed, Lucas tugged at her skirt, preventing her from leaving, his eyes pleading. ’Why are you leaving me alone?’ he whimpered softly.
"I’m not going anywhere," Kyra reassured him softly. "You stay on the bed; I’ll show you." She descended and placed the square object on the ground, revealing a red button.
With a press, the device expanded, forming a round shape with a door.
"Let’s go inside," Kyra invited, and though hesitant, Lucas carefully climbed down from the bed and followed her. As they entered, his eyes widened in wonder.
The walls were a sleek gray, accented with steel. Dim lighting illuminated the space, casting everything in a futuristic glow. Neon lights adorned the furniture, giving the entire room a vibrant ambiance. The capsule boasted two rooms, a bathroom, kitchen, and even a theater.
Seeing this, Lucas was shocked. He looked around at everything, forgetting about his injury as he began sniffing everything excitedly.
"Woof!" I love it! he barked.
Kyra smiled, watching him explore. Finally, he went inside the theater. He looked at a seat and jumped up onto it.
"Lucas! Be careful!" Kyra shouted angrily. This wolf was really careless. Seeing her angry and coming toward him, Lucas looked at her with big, wet eyes.
Kyra bit her lip as she watched him act pitiful, his ears drooping. She felt bad for scolding him when he was in such a condition.
"I’m sorry, baby, but you have to be careful. You’re injured." Kyra said, cupping his wolf face. Lucas tilted his head, enjoying the pampering. ’Baby’ He blushed, but thanks to his fur-covered face, Kyra couldn’t see him blushing.
He likes feeling pampered by his own female, he thought as he rubbed his head against her hands.
Though injured, he wasn’t that weak. He’d had worse during feral attacks, hunting powerful beasts, and in the arena. This injury wasn’t major. He was just upset because the area around his neck had become bald, and a little pain like this was nothing to him.
Kyra must have become emotional seeing him injured.
It was okay; he let her fuss because he knew she cared for him, so he didn’t tell her it was nothing.
"Do you have movies or some drama stuff in your world?" Kyra asked as she sat in one of the seats. Lucas sat in the seat next to her, resting his head on her armrest.
He shook his head, not knowing what she meant.
"I’ll play a movie, Alpha Ken. I think you’ll enjoy it." she said. It was an animated movie that had become very famous in her world among kids because of its graphics and stroy.
Lucas looked confused until the movie started. His eyes widened when he saw the lifelike images.
The story was about Ken, the weakest wolf in the pack, who was the son of the most powerful alpha in the city, respected by all. The whole story was about how Ken became stronger and met the love of his life, Barbie, a rich girl from another pack. Ken was rejected multiple times by her, but he did everything for her. Finally, Barbie saw his potential, and Ken became the alpha. The movie ended with a kiss.
Kyra almost fell asleep in the middle, but Lucas was clearly very interested.
