The moment she finished, everyone present shivered. The squad leader wore an even deeper look of dread at the near miss

“Starting today, starting now, we screen every resident at the base. We have to be sure no one has eaten human flesh.” Autumn said gravely. “If even one slips through, our base finished. I don’t think any of you want to witness something that horrifying and brutal with your own eyes.”

In her past life, these mutant animals and plants had swept across the entire planet. Countless small bases vanished overnight

Even some mid-sized shelters couldn’t hold against the frenzied mutants and became their nourishment before morning

Ask why they didn’t fight back?

They did. It was useless.

The animals came in overwhelming waves, but at least you could shoot those. How do you defend against plants that bore up from underground and climb over the walls?

And not every base had heavy weapons. Even those that did couldn’t use them up close. Otherwise the mutant animals would still be alive while the humans blew themselves up first.

So the best method was simply never to have eaten human flesh.

“I understand,” Leonel said gravely. “We’ll start the screening tomorrow, person by person.”

“I also think now is the best time to hit the central shelter,” Autumn said. “Before the mutants invade humanity on a large scale. And I don’t believe for a second that no one in the central shelter has eaten a person.”

This time Scott didn’t hold her back. He only said, “Autumn, you have to protect yourself.”

“Don’t worry. Leonel and Beckett both know what I can do in a fight. Worst case, I’ve still got ways to save my own skin,” Autumn said. “I value my life more than anyone.”

“I’ll go with her this time,” Beckett spoke up. “I’ll keep Autumn safe the whole way.”

“I’ll go too,” Leonel said. “Making money is my specialty. With Autumn along, I can strip those central shelter bastards down to nothing.”

Scott sighed. “Alright, go if you want. I’m getting on in years, so I’ll stay and mind the house.”

“Scott, your job matters just as much,” Autumn said. “We won’t be gone long. We quit while we’re ahead. Before leave, Tilset aside a batch of supplies for you. Send someone to tell me if you run short. With all our high tech gear, I won’t rest easy until I take the shirts off their backs.”

Leonel smiled. “The losses we’ve eaten, this time we finally get to pay them back.”

Beckett said, “While they’re still riding high, we take everything we can. Don’t let all those supplies go to waste Digging goods out from under a mass of plants later is a real pain.”

Scott said, “Bring as many weapons as you can”

“Don’t worry, they’re all in the space, ready whenever,” Autumn said “Just watch, Scott We’ll bring back enough to set you up

hundred years”

Only then did Scott smile “Good I’ll wait for your triumphart return.”

Autumn traded a smile with Leonel and Beckett, the understanding between them needing no words All three were the kind who didn’t shrink from trouble.

Autumn most of all. That blend of menace and righteousness in her was downright bewitching.

The three went back and prepared carefully, handing everything they needed to Autumn, who tossed it all straight into the space. Watching her, Beckett couldn’t help marveling. “Autumn really is a whiz at packing for a trip. Going anywhere is so easy with her

Leonel smiled. “It really is.”

“Alright, quit the flattery.” Autumn glanced at the acid rain outside, which was showing signs of easing, and said, “While it’s lightened up a bit, we should get moving.”

‘Let’s go.”

‘Move out.”
