Autumn wasn’t idle either.

After giving it some thought, she realized that if the sharks had laid so many eggs on that island, there had to be a massive population nearby.

There was no way they could reach the island without fighting their way through the shark swarm.

And if a fierce battle was inevitable, heavy weaponry was absolutely essential.

Their ship couldn’t be too small either. Otherwise, the swarm would capsize it in no time.

After carefully looking through her options, Autumn settled on a frigate she’d stolen from the central shelter.

Among all the cargo vessels, this medium-sized frigate was unquestionably a beast.

Even without satellite navigation, it remained an incredibly formidable warship.

And the weapons mounted aboard were true instruments of destruction.

Autumn might not know how to operate them, but that wasn’t a problem. Beckett’s men certainly did.

Not enough ammunition?

With gold in hand, she activated her ten-thousandfold duplication ability.

Pile after pile of gold disappeared at astonishing speed, transforming into mountains of shells unlike anything most people had ever seen, nearly blinding Beckett, who had just come to discuss the operation with her.

The moment Beckett saw the stockpile of ammunition, there was nothing left to discuss.

The frigate was already being deployed.

Forget the shark swarm. They could level Shark Island itself if they wanted to.

This time, Autumn wasn’t the main force. Beckett’s men were.

The young soldiers were all strong, agile, disciplined, and quick to follow orders.

Without satellite guidance, they relied on traditional navigation methods to steer the frigate steadily toward its destination.

Meanwhile, Autumn wandered leisurely around the deck with her arms folded, occasionally praising the young men as they worked.

Beckett walked over carrying a map and found her squatting there out of boredom, watching everyone else do the work.

“Autumn,” he called. She immediately trotted over. “What is it?”

“Leonel gave me this map.” Beckett unfolded the hand-drawn chart. “It’s rough, but we can still make out the surrounding terrain.” His brow furrowed. “The water level keeps rising, and the sea is spreading farther inland. Shouldn’t we start planning an evacuation route now? Look here, the terrain is steep, making it easy for ships to run aground. We…”

“Let me see.” Autumn took the crude map, glanced at it briefly, and said, “The best route is through the central shelter, then turning onto land and heading northwest. The second option is approaching from the southwest and making straight for the Greenshere Plateau. Neither route will be easy. The first risks running into mutated plants and animals, while the second means facing mutated marine creatures”

“Exactly.” Beckett sighed. “If only we could just y everyone out.”

“Aircraft can’t carry that many people to begin with, and we couldn’t possibly afford the fuel.” Autumn shook her head. “Besides, the skies are full of mutated birds. They’re every bit as vicious as the mutated beasts on land. If a plane gets hit, everyone aboard dies.”

“True.” Beckett sighed again. “Scott told me to accelerate troop training because we could be forced to evacuate at any moment. It’s hard to let go. We’ve spent so long building Aurora Base that it feels like home.”

Autumn tilted her head. “Doesn’t everyone feel that way? But in the apocalypse..where is home?”

Before either of them could continue, someone came rushing over and shouted, “We’ve spotted a shark swarm!”

Beckett and Autumn immediately put the map away and headed outside together.

A massive shiver of sharks had surrounded the three-to-four-thousand-ton frigate, trapping it in the middle.

Every single shark was enormous beyond belief, each bearing the same grotesque mutations.

“They’re terrifying,” Beckett murmured. “If I hadn’t seen them with my own eyes, I’d never have believed sharks could mutate into something like this.”

Autumn spoke calmly, “This is only the beginning, Beckett. From this moment on, every minute will challenge everything you thought you knew. This battle is yours.”

Clarity gradually settled into Beckett’s eyes.

He nodded firmly at Autumn before turning to grab the communicator and begin directing the battle.

Shells and torpedoes rained mercilessly into the shark swarm.

Even with an effectively unlimited supply of ammunition, they managed only to fight the creatures to a standstill.

That alone showed just how overwhelming the sharks’ numbers and strength were.

Although Autumn hadn’t joined the fight herself, she watched every movement of the swarm closely.

The moment the sharks began suffering significant casualties, she immediately called out, “Switch to acid rain shells!”

Beckett relayed the order without hesitation. “Everyone, switch to acid rain shells! Aim for the wounds!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!
