Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: End of Rain Disaster (II)

[Time left before apocalypse: 43 Days and 14 Hours]

It took two more days for the rain to completely stop. During these two days, a lot had happened. The rescue missions were being successfully accomplished – the supplies and first-aid kits were given out throughout the country, thousands of survivors had been rescued already, and the flood management was also showing positive signs as the water level was slolwy decreasing in most of the cities.

During these two days, nothing really changed for the people living on the top three floors of Building K12. They still lived like they did for the past forty days. They ate, trained, planned, and slept, only to wake up and repeat this cycle.

There were only two of them who were doing anything different than everyone else – Grace and Davian. They continued to travel around the world to hoard more supplies.

After the volcano incident in Country B, Davian wasn’t really in favor of continuing their mission of hoarding supplies in different countries, but Grace couldn’t give up on such a good chance to hoard as many supplies as she could.

So far, she had about four times of the supplies that she initially hoarded before the rain disaster arrived, but she wanted to buy more since she still had over a trillion left.

After her consistent persuading, Davian had to give in. But he made sure to stick to her like a glue wherever they went. He didn’t leave her side even for a second.

Unlike the small quantities she purchased in other countries, Grace decided to go with full force when they arrived in Country V.

The only issue that had been noticed in this country so far were the deteriorating agriculture harvests in the past one and a half months. All of a sudden, the harvests all around the country was infected by weird insects and the agriculture ministry had been unable to find a solution so far.

Other than this agriculture issue, everything else had been going on just fine so far in Country V. Hence, Grace decided to bulk purchase supplies from this country.

She bought twice the quantity of supplies she purchased from her own country – food, clothes, medicines (the one she could buy easily), tools, machines, weapons, vehicles, fuel, firewood, coal, hygiene supplies, livestock, food for livestock, dairy products, planting tools and supplies, seeds, stationery, and solar supplies.

She also made purchases to set up windmills inside her space to generate electricity. She bought everything from wiring to generators and stocked up everything in the second warehouse which was about eighty percent full after all these purchases from Country V. It was also needed to be noted that this second warehouse was twice the size of first warehouse.

Despite them being foreigners and bulk buying supplies, everything went smoothly for them. The reason was her links in the country that were established during her father’s reign over Blackwood Empire and continued successfully during the twelve years she spent as the head of the same Empire.

Not only that but Davian too helped a lot as he also had more than enough connections in Country V to keep everything going smoothly for their purchases. His men took care of all the shipments and stored up the supplies in the warehouses for Grace to collect.

It took them four days to finish these purchases and they finally were able to take a break. By this time, water, gas, and power supplies had been restored in Sunspire City, allowing Grace and Davian to restart their cooking segments every evening.

Sunspire City was also the first city to get rid of all the flood water by the fifth day. But while the water was successfully drained out of the city, the streets were too dirty for anyone to step out. Hence, the local authority immediately started the mission of cleaning the streets and roads.

As the roads got cleaned, people finally started stepping out of their homes to go out and buy as many supplies as they could. Within a day, there was chaos throughout Sunspire City as the demand exceeded the supplies. People were ready to rob the stores just to make sure that they had enough food.

The reason for this need of hoarding supplies – the dark, ominous clouds that hadn’t disappeared from the sky even for a minute ever since they first appeared nearly fifty days ago. Even when the rain stopped completely seven days ago and it hadn’t rained ever since, those clouds refused to leave.

Not only that, but there had been news about several volcanos erupting all around the world within the span of these last seven days, including two in Starship Country. One of these two volcanoes had been dormant for over four hundred years.

The heavy volcanic ash, that came out through these eruptions, was adding another layer of darkness to the already dark sky.

The lack of the sunlight and the presence of this darkness forced people to believe that whatever disaster was coming their way, it hadn’t vanished along with the rain. Thus, they all wanted to prepare for any sort of upcoming disasters.

It was complete chaos everywhere as people fought for supplies and even military was having a hard time keeping everything under control.

While very one was going out to buy food and other daily necessities, Grace finally stepped out of the building with her team on the eighth day. Her team was complaining about staying inside all the time, so she allowed them to go around and loosen up a bit.

On the other hand, she and Davian headed to a Retail Store selling seeds. They made sure to use their real identities as they bought seeds of lots of vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

Then they headed to a factory producing planting tools and other supplies. From there, they bought planting tools, soil, fertilizers, pots, and other stuff. Since the factory just opened two days ago and there had been no business so far, they were able to get a twenty percent discount on their purchase.

Leaving the factory, they continued with the next step of their perfectly crafted plan.
