Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: The New Base

The roads were being cleared by the military, not because the usual traffic needed to return, but because the military was struggling to travel because of the snow. Hence, the attempt.

On the other hand, a group of people were traveling around the globe on daily basis without any troubles. They had someone who could create portals between cities and countries, snowmobiles to travel through snow covered streets and roads, high quality snow boots with attached ice cleats, and most importantly – special training, heightened reflexes, and superpowers.

It had been about a month since the Shadow Rain, and by now almost every person in Grace and Davian’s teams had unlocked their superpowers.

Kevin unlocked the superpower of object manipulation. This one was also among those superpowers that were very rare in the previous timeline. But from what Grace and Davian could recall, the people with this superpower in the previous timeline were only able to manipulate objects into something simple.

For example, if there was a rock, a person with object manipulative power could turn that rock into different shapes, sizes, and something similar. A metal could also be manipulated into different shapes and sizes.

However, it seemed like Kevin’s object manipulation was special as he could manipulate any object, mostly metals, into any form of weapons he desired. This was such a strong superpower as weapons were something they needed desperately to survive the apocalypse.

Valeska, on the other hand, unlocked the power of telekinesis. Ryan unlocked the power of time manipulation. He could slow, freeze, or speed up time to some point for the time being.

Seth’s power was invisibility, something he was badly struggling with. Maven unlocked the power of shadow walking. Jasper got the power of power mimicry, another rare power.

And finally, Aleena unlocked the power of fusion. She could combine her powers with others’ for a period of time to become more powerful. Not only that, but there was also the possibility that she might be able to combine powers of other people to make them strong.

As for those in Davian’s team, they had unlocked powers like – fear inducement, size manipulation, energy absorption, accelerated healing, super speed, super strength, and illusion creation.

There were also two members in Davian’s team who unlocked similar powers to those in Grace’s team – invisibility and time manipulation.

These days, the two teams were mostly busy with getting used to their powers and learning to use them peoplery. And whenever they weren’t doing that, they were out on missions.

These missions were none other than collecting supplies. They would visit certain cities where Davian had been before and surf through the streets to look for stores, factories, and supermarkets to find supplies.

But other than these two matters, Grace got another important task to take care of – preparing the military base they just acquired.

Since Davian used to be the Captain of the special forces in the military back in the days, it was a piece of cake for him to acquire the base. Despite being abandoned, it was still a fortified structure designed for strategic operations, secure storage, and protection from external threats – making it the perfect base for Grace and her people.

It was located in the remote area of Hillton City, hidden deep in the mountains. There were camouflaged access points, including hidden doors, tunnels, and lift shafts all over the base. The building had multiple levels and was reinforced with concrete and steel walls for structural integrity and blast resistance.

There were different sections in the base – a command center, barracks, armory, research labs, vehicle bays, medical facility, training area, and storage. There were also several escape routes built around the base.

But despite how well the place was, it still needed a lot of renovation. The best thing about this base was that it didn’t got damaged by the flooding, that the entire country just survived through, since it was located high in the mountains.

Grace hired the same company that did the intsallations in their apartments in Building K12. She was also providing them with required transport vehicles, food, water, and warm clothes.

Since the paycheck was more than what they could have asked for, the company was doing their best to fulfill all of Grace’s demands. They started with layering the walls with another powerful sheet of Steel and Kevlar. Then, all the doors were to be replaced with thick blast-proof metal doors.

Nearly a dozen of generators were to be placed around the base and then the electricity fitting was to be done all over again. The place would then be thoroughly equipped with both heating system and cooling system to withstand both harsh hear and harsh cold weathers.

Finally, the entire base was to be throughly cleaned, and then rearranged with new furniture and equipment. The kitchen was going to be set up, the sleeping quarters would be prepared, the training area would be arranged, and so would the rest of the sections of the base.

However, all these intsallations was going to take at least three to four months no matter how much they rushed the work.

The apartments of the Building K12 were their perfect shelters for the time being, but when Grace prepared that place, she wasn’t expecting the surpise of the monsters. Her plans were made as per the previous timeline, but things were happening differently this time.

She could only hope that they wouldn’t be seeing those monsters for at least next four months. Because no matter how well-equipped those apartments were, they could only withstand the zombies, not those monsters.

However, the coming Blood Rain could also damage the Veil, and if such a thing happened, then those monsters would surely be attacking the Earth very soon.

The future was once again very unpredictable, but all Grace could do was to hope for the best and give her all to prepare. While she couldn’t prepare the new base that fast, she could try to handle the situation with what she had, and Rune had promised to help.
