‘As for mutant plants, only the land-based ones are edible,” Autumn said. “Stay away from mushrooms and anything that spreads hrough spores. If you eat those, you’ll get infested. But motant vines are different. Their stems and roots are edible. They don’t aste good, but they’re high in starch, so they’ll fill you up. You’ll have to experiment with the rest. I can’t tell you everything.”

‘That’s great!” Scott said excitedly. “Send them out to bring back whatever they catch. We’ll test it here. If it’s edible, we eat it. If not, it goes to fertilizer.”

‘Exactly. Give them something to do so they don’t become freeloaders,” Autumnpaid. “We have enough food for now, but we need o think long-term. The challenges ahead are only going to get harder.”

‘I agree,” Beckett chimed in. “I’ll have my team draft the mercenary rules right away.”

.eonel added, “In that case, logistics will need to keep up. I’ll go update our system policies.”

I’ll handle the casualty count,” Scott said, quickly slipping away as well.

lutumn was just about to give them a piece of her mind, but it turned out she didn’t have to.

fter this attack, any lingering wishful thinking among the people at Aurora Base was completely shattered.

specially after the base put out the mercenary system. Anyone could form their own team, ranked into six tiers based on combat apability: S, A, B, C, D, and E.

veryone could choose missions based on their own abilities.

Completing missions earned them points, which they could use to improve their quality of life.

The new system immediately caught people’s attention, and many eagerly signed up.

Of course, there were still those who chose to do nothing, waiting for handouts.

icott quickly made another announcement. Relief rations at Aurora Base would strictly be limited to children under 12, seniors wver 60, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities.

All other able-bodied adults would no longer receive free rations.

That move left quite a few people unhappy, and they began protesting one after another.

Scott simply opened the gates and said, “No one’s forcing you to stay in Karthmoor. If you think Aurora Base isn’t good enough, you’re free to find somewhere better. Central shelter is always looking for more people. The acid rain season is almost over. You can head there if you’d like.”

The protesters fell silent.

Refugees from the central shelter had just arrived, bringing news so horrifying it left everyone speechless. Ten days ago, the central shelter was struck by a massive horde of mutant beasts and plants.

“Over half the population dead or wounded.”

Just one sentence, but it meant ten million lives.

The once-glorious central shelter that had housed over 20 million people had lost half its population overnight.

No one needed to see it in person to imagine how horrifying it had been.

When Autumn heard the news, she felt a chill run down her spine. “Thank God we pulled out in time, or we would’ve been dragged right down with them. By the way, are our undercover people at the central shelter alright?”

Beckett replied, “They all hid in underground cellars, and none of them had ever eaten human flesh, so they managed to slip under the radar. They were still pretty traumatized, though. Still haven’t fully recovered.”

“So who’s running the central shelter now?” Leonel asked.

“The Carters, the Blakes, and the Yorks are running it together,” Beckett replied. “Griffin is dead. Killed by a mutant plant. He turned into a sack of insect eggs.”

“Eww, gross,” Autumn said. “That scumbag definitely ate his fair share of people.”

“Now everyone panics at the mention of bugs. The ones who used to eat human flesh are the most terrified. They were so arrogant when they did it. Now they’re living in fear,” Leonel said. “Word has spread that anyone who’s eaten human meat becomes the target for mutant plants and animals to use as a breeding ground. After taking such a devastating hit, the central shelter definitely won’t tolerate those people anymore.”

“That’s right,” Beckett said. “They’re carrying out a massive purge. They only started cutting away the problem once it threatened

their own survival.”

Autumn added, “That group will definitely be kicked out to fend for themselves. Starting today, Aurora Base won’t accept any outsiders. We have no way to verify whether someone’s eaten human flesh. So to be safe, no matter who it is, we don’t take them

in!”

“I agree,” Beckett said. “We can’t save everyone. If we can protect the people of Aurora Base, that’s already a success.”

Leonel said, “Even if we refuse to let them in, they won’t just leave. If they end up attracting mutant beasts and plants, we’ll still end up paying the price.”

Autumn pulled a long face. “You’re right. Is there any other solution?”
