Scott said, “So does that mean we’ll be making enemies of both the central shelter and the southwestern shelter? If they join forces against us, we’ll be in a tough spot.

Autumn smiled. “If this were peacetime, that would be a real risk. But don’t forget–this is the apocalypse. Sandstorms and tornadoes will be here soon. Do you really think the southwestern shelter and the central shelter will still have time to team up against us? Besides, I don’t think we’ll be staying on this mountain much longer. You’ve all seen the coastline creeping closer. It won’t be long before these mountains are swallowed too. When that happens, we’ll have to move.”

Her words made all three of them look more serious.

She was right.

The waterline had been rising nonstop lately. At this rate, in just a few months, these mountains would be underwater.

They would have no choice but to move and find a new place to survive.

‘So where are we supposed to go?” Scott asked with a weary sigh. “Running a base is really hard. There are always problems to deal with. We finally got everything running smoothly, and now we have to pack up and move again. What a headache.”

Leonel tried to comfort him. “We don’t really have a choice. For now, let’s focus on producing as much as we can and stockpile every supply possible.”

Autumn nodded. “After we harvest this round of crops and vegetables, don’t plant any more long-term crops. If you do plant anything, make it fast-growing crops that are easy to move at any time, like mushrooms or bean sprouts. I can put those into my storage space anytime, so nothing will go to waste. And don’t worry about food. I got plenty from Gordon, and the Yorks’ farms are all inside my storage space too. Once we find a safe place to settle down, we can start over.”

After hearing Autumn’s plan, the expressions on their faces finally eased.

Autumn continued, “Beckett, find a way to get more boats. I don’t care if you have to steal them or take them by force. Just bring

hem back. Also, inspect every boat we already have. Reinforce the weak parts and repair anything that’s broken. When it’s time to evacuate, we’ll have to travel by boat. Whether we can get all 800,000 people out safely will depend on how strong our fleet is.

‘Leonel, deal with the people outside first. Then figure out a way to boost everyone’s spirits and get the young people in the base to learn to protect themselves. When the evacuation day comes, the few tens of thousands of us won’t be able to protect hundreds of thousands of people. They’ll have to learn how to survive on their own. Encourage them to go out more, whether it’s gathering supplies or hunting mutant animals and plants. The important thing is to help them become stronger. If needed, have Silas and his juniors teach them. They can charge for the lessons.

“Silas made a huge contribution this time. We should give him a chance to earn some extra money. He shouldn’t end up working with us for nothing. I’ll leave the details to you. He really respects you.”

“Got it. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.” Leonel smiled and nodded.

Autumn said, “All right, it’s settled then. I’m going to patrol the mountains again. If someone sneaks into those cracks and attracts more mutant animals or plants, we’ll be screwed.”

The four of them split up and got to work.

News that Aurora Base was forming a mercenary group quickly spread. It didn’t just motivate the people inside the base. It also caught the attention of the survivors outside.

You couldn’t push people too far, or they’d fight back with nothing left to lose.

Leonel announced that although Aurora Base was no longer accepting new residents, outsiders were welcome to form mercenary groups. They could hunt or gather supplies, then bring them to Aurora Base to trade for supplies or points. They could also spend those points at the trading area, but they would only be allowed to stay in the outer area and couldn’t enter the base itself.

The news lifted the spirits of the wandering survivors outside. At last, they had something to look forward to.

The acid rain gradually lightened.

Three days later, it finally stopped.

As soon as the rain ended, most of the clouds cleared away. The rain had washed almost all the volcanic ash out of the sky. People could finally go outside without wearing respirators or masks and move around freely.

The temperature, however, was still low, staying around the freezing point.

No one could tell whether the next disaster would bring extreme heat or extreme cold.

So everyone washed and dried both their summer and winter clothes, getting ready for whatever disaster came next.

Meanwhile, inside her storage space, Autumn gathered all the acid rain she had collected over the past several days.

She had the factory work overtime to make a batch of extra-large glass containers, then carefully filled each one with the stored acid rain.

Even without using ten-thousandfold duplication, it was already a massive amount.
