Chapter 169: Planning a New Team

[Day One: 81,000 Points]

[Day Two: 500,000 Points]

[Day Three: 480,000 Points]

[Day Four: 650,000 Points]

[Day Five: 730,000 Points]

It was late in the afternoon of the fifth day since the happening of Blood Rain and also since the sudden zombie breakout happened in the Starship Country.

In these five days, Grace had led back-to-back missions with the help of Davian and Rune to earn the zombie points and also to train the team members on how to deal with the ruthless and hungry creatures wandering out on the streets.

Grace was currently in the villa. She just threw her dirty clothes, from the noon’s mission, into the washing machine and asked 2025 to show her the stats for the points they had earned in these five days.

[Total Points Earned: 2,441,000]

“That looks like the result of some really good hard work.” 2025 complimented in its unusual way as it came to peek at the digital screen and noticed the total points.

Grace was also pleased with the numbers. Since the zombies weren’t going anywhere anytime soon, she would have more than enough time to earn more points by killing them.

“Are you free now? Should we start with the work?” 2025 asked while glancing at the washing machine that was cleaning the clothes that were covered in all the things they shouldn’t be.

Grace gave a positive nod of her head in response before following after 2025. The previous day, she spent some really long hours in the Infinite Realm while setting up a new greenhouse. This particular greenhouse was a lot different than the usual ones, as it was custom built just for the farming of the mutated plants.

“I have been keeping an eye on the soil in this pit. After marinating it in the mixture we prepared previously, its showing the same properties as the ones that we have in those pots.” 2025 started with the good news as they entered the greenhouse.

Grace checked the freshly prepared soil and noticed the same change. It seemed like Dr. Kian and Freya’s involvement in their recent studies on the project of mutated plants, ended up turning out to be beneficial.

For next half an hour, she manually worked in the greenhouse and set up new pots to regrow the three mutated plants. As for the soil they saved from the pots, instead of reusing them to regrow the mutated plants, Grace decided to use it to grow some normal crops and see what kind of result it would give.

“I’m planning of setting up a team of experts who can study these projects and make breakthroughs. Because if we didn’t, then someone else definitely will.” Grace informed 2025 about her plan.

In the previous timeline, there was a research lab that started doing studies on all living beings who got affected by the Shadow Rain.

Right before her death, she heard about the lab announcing about how they had found a way to replicate the virus of the Shadow Rain successfully to mutate humans, animals, and plants. They were even looking for people who were ready to volunteer to become the test projects. And considering how bad the situation was for those who failed to came in contact with the Shadow Rain, a lot of people readily volunteered.

The most surprising part was that this particular lab was affiliated with none other than Hao Corporation.

So while in this timeline there was no Hao Corporation anymore, Grace knew that someone would still end up making the same breakthrough, it was just a matter of time.

“You only have Dr. Kian and Freya, and even those two aren’t all rounders in medicine and scientific research. You will need more talents to make your lab idea work out.” 2025 provided its honest opinion.

Grace nodded her head in understanding. She too had been aware of this fact. The types of research she needed them to perform, it would indeed need all the brains they could collect.

She finished watering the last of the three pots before she took off the gloves and headed to wash her hands. “That’s why I want you to find out some really good candidates for this new team of ours. It’s your new task. Don’t disappoint me.”

2025 puffed up its tiny chest as it immediately accepted the mission. “I know what to do. But while I can find just the perfect and reliable candidates for your research team, I wonder if you will be able to bring them over to your side.”

Grace smiled at the little creature’s snarky remark. That’s what they always did, challenging each other.

Since the work was done, they walked out of the greenhouse and headed to take care of the livestock in the farmhouse.

Grace took her time in tending to each of her work in the space before finishing with an hour training session with the mutated pets.

She had lions, sharks, bats, wolves, a white snake, crows, elephants, tigers, bears, spiders, falcons, horses, owls, scorpions, deers, penguins, leopards, rabbits, bees, ravens, parrots, and camels.

Almost each of these animals came from illegal sources and Grace paid millions to get them. Out of dozens of each species she got, only a few were able to survive the full transition.

And while most of their transition had turned these animals into a better, mutated versions of themselves, Grace had been wondering if there was a possibility of seeing a similar situation in animals like what they saw in plants with high percentage of Shadow Rain consumption.

When she discussed this thought of hers with 2025, the creature had the simplest possible solution for it – finding such animals in the outside world and bringing them inside the space to see the result.

Not wanting to miss on this big chance of getting her hands over these special mutated animals, Grace decided to follow 2025′ suggestion.

Now she had to find not only plants with high Shadow Rain consumption, but also animals.
