“The other side specifically asked to trade with you,” Scott said earnestly. “They even said you can name any price you want. Autumn, you’re the head of Aurora Base. You have to think about the more than 800,000 people living here. Every extra dollar we earn means we can feed one more person.”

“I can still step down, right?” Autumn asked hopefully.

“Too late! You’ve already accepted the seal, and now you’re talking about stepping down?” Scott let out a cold laugh. “Don’t even think about it. It’s settled.”

With that, Scott proudly turned and walked away, leaving Autumn standing there in complete confusion.

So there was really no avoiding this, huh?

Fine.

Matthew, you brought this on yourself!

Still fuming, Autumn went to complain to Leonel. But Leonel wasn’t there. Only James was still hard at work, as diligent and dependable as ever.

‘Where’s Leonel?” Autumn asked casually.

James adjusted his glasses and smiled. “Mr. Wright said the central shelter will definitely be bringing a lot of gold this time. He plans to take every bit of it, so he’s checking our supplies himself. Food, clothing, housing, transportation-he wants to review everything personally. If you need something, you can tell me instead.”

‘Forget it.” Autumn sighed. “Go ahead and keep working.”

lames smiled politely as he saw Autumn out.

Autumn turned around and went looking for Beckett instead.

Beckett was training the troops, leading everyone through their drills as sweat poured off them.

Forget it. There’s no point bothering him either.

Autumn could only head over to Kayla, but Kayla was in the middle of teaching the children at the base and didn’t have time for

ner.

Ever since Aurora Base had opened its school, every teacher carried a huge responsibility. They worked nonstop from morning until night, keeping the children busy so they wouldn’t run around getting into trouble. In a way, it was also protecting the base’s future.

“Look! The wind outside is dying down!” someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone immediately dropped what they were doing and crowded around the windows.

The glass was coated with so much sand that everything outside looked blurry, but they could still make out that the wind had weakened, and the sand was beginning to settle back to the ground.

Autumn walked over as well. She knocked on the window with her knuckles, shaking off a layer of sand and making the view a little

:learer.

‘It definitely has eased up, but it hasn’t completely stopped yet.” A man wearing glasses who knew a lot about weather watched for a while before saying, “Give it another two days, and the sandstorm should be over.”

The moment he finished speaking, cheers broke out all around them.

Autumn let out a quiet sigh.

Good.

Two days later, the sandstorm finally came to an end.

Everyone threw open the doors and windows and hurried outside to breathe fresh air.

Autumn walked over to the water level marker and touched it. The water had risen another four inches.

With so much sand blowing in and settling on the bottom, it naturally pushed the water level higher.

.eonel came over too. After looking at the marker, he said, “At this rate, we can stay on this mountain for another six months at nost. After that, we’ll have to find somewhere else to move.”

“Yeah.” Autumn nodded. “How’s Scott’s ship conversion project coming along?”

‘It’s still underway,” Leonel answered. “He borrowed all of our shipbuilding experts and transferred everyone in the base who could help over there.”

Autumn clapped the dust off her hands and stood up straight. “Worst case, we’ll live on the ships while we slowly search for a new >lace.”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone pointed into the distance and shouted, “Look! Ships are coming!”

Autumn followed the direction they were pointing and saw a small fleet heading straight toward Aurora Base.

She raised a pair of binoculars and took a look.

Her face immediately turned green.

Without saying a word, she spun around to leave, but Leonel reacted fast and grabbed her.

‘Matthew’s here?” Leonel asked with a teasing smile.

“Is he out of his mind? He actually came out during a sandstorm?” Autumn didn’t even know where to begin complaining. “Wasn’t he afraid of getting buried alive?”

Leonel chuckled. “Who do you think he was willing to risk everything for?”

“Oh, give me a break!” Autumn’s face looked even greener. “I only dress like a man. I’m not actually one. And I definitely don’t go for pretty boys! Anyway, keep him busy for me. I’ve got something I need to take care of.”

The moment she finished speaking, Autumn shot off like a monkey, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Leonel laughed so hard behind her that he nearly doubled over.
