Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday - Chapter 270

Chapter 270: The Cruise Ship
Eight months after the formation of the Great Alliance ~

Grace stood at the edge of the upper deck, her long aubrun hair dancing in the salty breeze.

Her custom-made cruise ship was a floating fortress, designed to withstand both natural disasters and monstrous threats lurking beneath the waves. Unlike the ships of the old world, which were built for leisure, hers was crafted for survival.

It could hold nearly five thousand people, yet only two thousand were on board. Survivors, warriors, scientists, and researchers – all were carefully chosen for this mission.

While the rest of the world was evolving in the past eight months at a rapid speed, Grace was moving ahead almost twice their speed, making sure that when the right time came, she would be the one holding the reins of her future.

Her gaze shifted to the ship’s protective barrier that flickered faintly, shimmering with an ethereal glow as it got activated. Compared to her ability of creating such barriers eight months ago, she was now on a whole other level.

This protective barrier was layered with her own power, spirit stones, spells, elixirs, and reinforced energy shields to form an impenetrable wall against the Shadow Beasts that infested the ocean… or any other sort of troubles.

Every now and then, monstrous forms slithered toward them, drawn by the ship’s energy. Some had serpentine bodies with multiple heads, others resembled sharks with jagged wings, but none could succeed in breaching the barrier.

The moment they touched it, powerful energy crackled through the air before disintegrating them on the spot.

A few warriors watched from the lower deck, gripping their weapons tightly. It was still unsettling to see these sea creatures up close, even though they were safe for now.

Grace turned her gaze away from the ocean and focused on the only three other people who were sharing her private cabin in the VIP section.

“You all should have stayed behind.” She was unable to help herself from once again letting the three know that she wanted them to stay at the other two bases.

The moment she spoke the words, the men stopped their training and turned to face her. “Are you that tired of us?” Rune asked, pouting to show her how hurt he was.

She let out a small sigh and walked to join them. “You know why I’m saying that. Even though both Greenstone and Hilton Base are safe because of the country’s redevelopment plan in the area, I still don’t feel too good about all four of us being so far away from there.”

Since Starship Country was one of the five in the Great Alliance, it had also been undergoing redevelopment and other such changes as the survivors moved to the safe zone.

Because of the location of Sunspire City and its neighboring areas, they were the least affected by the flooding and earthquakes, hence, these cities were included in the safe zone and Sunspire City was even declared as the new capital of the country.

Now, both of Grace’s bases – Greenstone and Hilton – were included in the safe zone, which was both a good and bad thing. Good because they weren’t excluded and left outside the protection line of the safe zone, and bad because it was now just a matter of time before the government and military would notice her and her bases.

This was also the main reason she wanted her men, if not all three then at least one of them, to stay behind at the bases.

“You need us here.” Dr. Kian was beside her, pulling her out of the depths of her thoughts. “If you want your plan to succeed, you need to establish the Starfall Isle base before the Great Alliance find out about us. So, let’s focus only on that for now.”

“Besides, we have our most trusted and trained men guarding our bases. As long as they are there, they will make sure to keep things in control until our return.” Rune added, reminding her that she had left most of her team behind to guard the bases.

“And not like you will really need my help, but I can take us back to the bases anytime you want. As I promised, I will also keep checking on the situation there every other day.” Davian also added his part, convincing her that there was indeed no reason for her to worry.

As for why she might not his need help with a portal – because now she could cross over seven-hundred kilometers through teleportation.

Even if she wanted, Grace couldn’t argue with the men’s words. Besides, her main focus should actually be her next step in the big plan.

In the past eight months, she successfully developed her second base in Hilton with the help of her boyfriends and Greenstone.

Among the 420 total residents of Greenstone, she shifted about 250 of them to the second base, creating teams of experts to guide the newcomers at both the bases.

After that, they once again began taking survivors, and this time – she didn’t stop at nearby areas or even her country. With 2025’s help, she located the most powerful survivors and experts around the world and offered them to join her.

It took her only three months to gather about thousand survivors for base in Hilton City and three hundred survivors for Greenstone.

Recently, she once again repeated her plan of finding survivors around the world – this one lasting for only two months, but she was able to gather two thousand new survivors and nearly all of them were on this ship with her at the moment.

When she bought Starfall Isle upon waking up in this lifetime, she already knew that she couldn’t survive in this world on her own. She needed people, she needed power, and now she had both.

“I’m still curious though. How are we going to build everything from scratch on the island? It’s going to take forever.” Dr. Kian put forward the question he was thinking about ever since the journey began.

A smile spread across Grace’s lips. “Who said we need to build anything?”
