‘I’ve shown you everything I’ve got. Oh, wait. We have seeds–tons of them. Aside from the National Seed Vault, our collection is the most complete in the country,” the Director said. “Take us in, and they’re all yours.”

“Seeds?” Josie’s mind immediately went to the massive plot of black earth inside her spatial storage.

June had spent a fortune hauling that soil in from the Northern Plains.

It didn’t seem like much now, but it was bound to be a lifesaver eventually.

Do

you have soil?” Josie asked. “I mean clean soil. Uncontaminated.”

“If we don’t have it, nobody does,” the Director replied. “I get what you’re asking. You want soil that never touched the storm rain. We have it, and we have a lot of it.”

“Before the storm hit, we stockpiled samples from every state in the country. We have a massive supply.”

Josie’s eyes lit up. “So, if you grow crops in clean soil, the plants won’t mutate?”

“Oh, talk about perfect timing! That’s exactly what we’re digging into right now. We’re right in the middle of the experiments,” the Director of the Agri–Science Institute said. “Based on our current progress, we’ve already cycled through hundreds of different crops.” “One thing’s for sure,” the director continued. “Soil that didn’t get hit by that rain? The plants we grow in it are normal. Zero mutations.”

Josie’s eyes lit up instantly.

Jackpot.

She started doing the math, counting on her fingers. How much would it cost to keep the entire Agri–Science Institute fed and supplied?

Then she weighed that against the payout. How much profit could these people actually bring in?

The verdict? It was a steal. This deal was totally worth it.

Josie didn’t hesitate. She gave a sharp nod. “Fine. It’s a deal!”

The second she agreed, the whole place erupted in cheers. Everyone at the Institute was beaming.

“No time to waste. Let’s get moving,” the Director said. “I’ve already got everything organized for you. Just grab them in order. It’ll make it way easier to find what you need later.”

“Got it,” Josie said. She didn’t waste a second. She raised her hand and started clearing the place out.

Her willpower was on a whole different level now, and her spatial superpower had surged along with it. She hadn’t officially tested her limits, but she was easily at Rank–3.

She was fast. Insanely fast.

One second, a greenhouse was gone. The next, a shed. Then a courtyard, a warehouse, and even an entire production line. She just swept through, and everything vanished into her space.

She was like a damn whirlwind, a total blur of motion.

The massive plantation, which had been packed to the gills just minutes ago, was vanishing right before their eyes.

She even tossed in all their personal bags and gear for good measure.

Insie summoned a fleet of vehicles from her space and looked at the crowd. “You guys know how to drive, right?”

Yeah! Yeah, we got it!” they shouted, practically buzzing with excitement. Just like that, Josie packed up over a hundred people and their entire lives and hauled them out of there.

Insie was feeling perry. She didn’t take the route she’d used to get there; she picked a completely different

She couldn’t wait to see the look on June’s face when they finally showed up and found… absolutely nothing.

God, it was going to be hilarious.

out.

Josie’s crew had barely cleared the area when the squad from the Base finally rolled in. They looked like they’d been dragged through a Wender–exhausted and pathetic.

Their fight with that giant locust tree? It had ended in a damn draw.

And the only reason they’d even managed that was because someone had lost their cool, hauled ass back to the Base, and brought back a rocker launcher to level the playing field.

That mutant locust tree was smart–scary smart. It didn’t know exactly how much heat a rocket launcher packed, but the smell of gunpowder told it things were about to get ugly.

It knew when to call it quits. It backed off and let the Supers go, clearing the way.
