Autumn pulled out a large poland started cooking a steaming pot of beef rice soup to settle their hungry stomachs

der knife skills had always been good, but after all the combat she’d encountered, they had reached a whole new level Chop chop, chop’ Slice, slice, slice! The vegetables came out looking like little works of art.

Big chunks of beef went into the pot, and the rich smell filled the air at once. The other team members couldn’t stop themselves rom drooling.

After taking a shower, Beckett came over and sat beside Autumn. “I didn’t know you could cook like this.”

Lutumn laughed. “Isn’t that normal? I’m sure you looked into my background. I worked in David’s restaurant for years, helping in he kitchen. Washing and chopping vegetables was part of my daily job. I can handle simple meals just fine They just don’t taste as good as David’s, so I usually leave the cooking to him.” Autumn tossed the huge pot, which weighed dozens of pounds, as if it were veightless, flipping the food with quick, smooth motions.

Being able to cook like this out in the middle of nowhere felt like pure luxury

All right, dinner’s ready!” Autumn poured the last dish into a basin nearly three feet wide. “Help yourselves.”

The dozen or so young men rushed over with excited cheers.

veryone ate until they were full and satisfied.

ifter dinner, they worked out the night watch schedule.

utumn took the first shift, from nine o’clock until midnight.

he others headed into the cave to sleep. Outside, Autumn and Beckett lit a campfire, warming themselves while they went over verything that had happened that day.

leckett asked, “Autumn, do you think these mutant animals and plants will survive alongside humans until the very end’ Do

umans even stand a chance against them?”

autumn thought back to everything she had lived through in her previous life. She dufted into silence for a long time before finally nswering, “I’ve been wondering when humanity was wiped out, what was left on this planet? If any species survived, it was robably the most primitive plants and animals.

The stronger a species becomes, the more certain its destruction That goes for both animals and humans in the end, this planet bandoned all of them Maybe they became too powerful and became a threat to the planet’s future. After all, as mutant animals ind plants keep evolving, it’s not just their bodies that change They became intelligent too

And once plants and animals can think, how are they any different from humans? That’s why they’ll all be wiped out or driven way. In the end, only the small, harmless plants and animals will be left to survive”

Beckett could hear the sadness in Autumn’s voice and fell silent

Autumn suddenly smiled again. “But that’s still a long way off. It’s not something we need to worry about right now We still have a ong road ahead of us.”

The apocalypse was supposed to last 15 years. Less than two years had passed so far.

There was still a long way to go.

Beckett rubbed the calluses on mis fingers and asked quietly, “We’ll make it to the end, right?”

“We will.” Autumn nodded with all her strength. “We have to.”

At midnight, the next watch came to relieve them.

Stretching her arms, Autumn headed back toward the cave to get some sleep.

But just as she was about to step inside, she suddenly stopped.

“What is it?” Beckett asked.

“Nothing. I probably imagined it.” Autumn stared thoughtfully into the darkness in the distance before saying casually, “Let’s get

some rest.”

With that, she stepped into the cave.

Beckett looked in the same direction Autumn had been watching. His eyes narrowed slightly before he followed her inside.

Some time later, while everyone was still half asleep, Autumn’s eyes snapped open.

Several people sleeping nearby sat up at the same moment, instantly on guard.

Autumn raised a finger to her lips. “Shh.”

Then she held up her hand and started counting down. “Five… four… three… two… one!”

Screechh! A piercing screech ripped through the night outside.

Right after that, the guard at the cave entrance shouted, “We’re surrounded! But…”

Before he could finish, everyone inside the cave had already thrown on their clothes, grabbed their weapons, and rushed outside.

The moment they stepped out, they froze in shock.

Mutant plants completely surrounded the small hill where their cave sat

But the plants couldn’t get any closer.

A ring of flammable powder had been spread around the hill. The moment the plants touched it, the powder burst into flames, burning them to ashes.

‘What is that?” someone asked in surprise.

Autumn stepped forward and explained, “Mr. Marsh’s team just developed this phosphorus powder. It’s specially made to deal with mutant plants. I brought some to test it out, and I didn’t expect it to work this well. Looks like science really is humanity’s greatest weapon.”
