My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 341

"Sir, ma’am, we can’t thank you enough for saving us," said the leader of the group as they approached Kisha and Duke. Once they reached the base’s wall, they realized with confusion that there had been no backup or snipers in sight to provide support. They were still puzzled about where the bullet had come from that had saved the woman and child.

However, they chose not to press for details, fearing that their questions might be misunderstood.

The leader blinked in surprise as another woman from his group, with short hair, sprang from the crowd and exclaimed, "Young Master Winters! And the woman who led us out of the East District in City A—you’re both alive?!" Her voice was filled with excitement as she squealed in delight at the sight of Kisha and Duke.

The leader beside her didn’t immediately recognize Kisha and Duke. While they were running, he had been too focused on assessing their surroundings to take note of their appearance. Now, with both Kisha and Duke covered in zombie blood and looking a bit unrecognizable, he was puzzled. He couldn’t understand how the woman next to him had identified them despite the mess. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

He glanced at the excited woman beside him with a raised eyebrow and a questioning look. Both Kisha and Duke turned their attention toward her, trying to recall if they knew her. The mention of City A sounded vaguely familiar to them, but they couldn’t quite place where they had seen her before.

"You are?" Kisha asked, tilting her head slightly as she tried to jog her memory and place the woman.

"Oh! Right!" the woman exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "You might not remember us, but we were the maid and bodyguard for the Evans family, whom you helped get out of City A when the apocalypse started." She glanced around eagerly at the base, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Evans family. "Are they here too?" she asked, her anticipation evident as she scanned the crowd.

Duke and Kisha exchanged a glance, and understanding dawned on them. Kisha then asked, "Were you the ones in the car that suddenly disappeared from our tail as we were leaving the city?" She was confident in her suspicion, recalling her warning to the convoy that their safety was ultimately their own responsibility.

Meeting two of the Evans’ staff here wasn’t surprising, but she was amazed they had survived City A’s chaos. The population there had been ten times larger than that of City B, where they now were.

It seemed these two were the only survivors from the Evans’ staff. Not hearing a response from Kisha or Duke made the maid anxious. She hesitated before asking again, "Are they not here? Or..." Her voice faltered, unable to finish her question. The fear of hearing heartbreaking news was evident.

She had grown close to the Evans, who had always treated their servants well, except for one pretentious individual.

If they heard that they did not survive was a heavy blow to her, leaving her unable to ask further, fearing the worst. Even the leader, who had once been the Evans’ bodyguard, felt a deep sadness as he considered the fate of the Evans family.

Noticing the misunderstanding, Kisha quickly clarified, "No, they’re alive and well, but they’re not in this base—they’re somewhere else."

The maid’s eyes widened in surprise as she processed the news. After a moment, she broke into a broad smile. "So they’re safe! But why aren’t they here?" She asked eagerly, her earlier anxiety replaced by curiosity about her former employers.

"It’s a long story, but they’re living comfortably and eating well," Kisha said, closing the topic before it could extend further. She and Duke, along with the others, began heading inside the base. Kisha then turned to Vulture. "Keep working on the barricade. I’ll return after I’ve had a chance to shower."
