The broodmother’s faceless head suddenly turned toward Autumn, as if it was trying to figure out whether she would make a tasty
neal.
“he sight sent a chill racing down Autumn’s spine.
Vatching through the screen, Beckett was so nervous that he barely dared to breathe. He didn’t even dare make a sound, afraid he broodmother would locate Autumn.
(utumn slowed down her movements, inching backward bit by bit.
ler mind raced as she tried to figure out what kind of bug this was and what it feared most.
Mothballs, medicated oil, garlic, pesticides, lemons, peppercorns…
Autumn pulled out everything she could think of from her storage space.
he thanked her past self for being such a hoarder. Whenever she saw something useful, she grabbed it like she was broke and ever knew when she would need it. And thank goodness David always kept things like peppercorns and other spices stocked.
utumn quickly pulled out a sack of peppercorns from her storage space and carefully poured some in the broodmother’s
lirection.
ust as she expected.
he broodmother backed away in disgust.
worked!
lamn!
What the hell kind of bug was this?! It actually hated peppercorns!
nother day to be grateful for peppercorns!
utumn didn’t hesitate anymore. She pulled out more than a dozen bags of peppercorns from her storage space and stacked them nto a solid wall around herself.
While the broodmother was distracted by the awful smell, Autumn grabbed the basement hatch, flipped herself up, and shot out.
The moment she hit the ground, she took off running.
Time. Time was life. She had to use every second she had and get out of the abandoned shipyard before the bugs came back.
.uck was still on her side.
she hadn’t run far before she spotted some shipbuilding parts scattered across the ground. Some high-quality steel plates had been casually abandoned there and trampled underfoot.

As she pushed forward, she grabbed everything she saw. Whether they were tiny screws and nails or huge steel frames and cranes, she took them all!
After running through two levels, she finally reached the shipbuilding area.
“Woohoo!” Autumn panted heavily as she spoke to Beckett, “Look at what we got! This is huge! This trip was totally worth it!”
Beckett said calmly, reminding her, “I hate to ruin the moment, but I have some bad news. The drone just checked the area where we thought people might still be alive. The fighting there is almost over. If we’re right, the hunters are heading back to the nest. If you don’t want to get trapped inside, you only have ten minutes left.”
‘Damn it!” Any thought of celebration vanished. Autumn jammed her feet into her roller skates and rocketed forward at full speed.
Ahhhhh!
Her fingers were about to rub raw.
She ran like crazy, stuffing everything she could see into her storage space.
The two half-finished 100,000-ton cruise ships were her top priority.
By the time she finally managed to store both massive ships into her storage space, she was so exhausted she almost collapsed >nto the ground.
Beckett warned, “Autumn, the bugs are heading back to the nest. You’ve got two minutes left. Move quickly! Keep running!”
Autumn pulled out a bottle of energy drink from her storage space and chugged it dry as she ran. She gave up on collecting
nything else. She sprinted toward the west gate they had planned to use.
The next second, thunderous explosions echoed from outside.

When one minigun ran dry, she grabbed another.
she just kept switching guns, not magazines.
The firing never stopped.
‘Autumn, the right side is weak.” Beckett’s voice came through her earpiece.
‘Got it.” She swung the minigun to the right and unleashed another relentless hail of bullets.
She kept moving as spent shell casings rained to the ground.
The bugs were blasted into pieces. Sticky slime splattered everywhere, covering Autumn from head to toe. She didn’t even have
