My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 282

After Kisha finished sorting those with gifts and talents to be cared for by their family or other workers and sending those without into isolated quarantine, it was already growing dark. She took her leave and headed home, where Duke and Winters were waiting for her, sitting in a circle around the living room.

Sparrow, Vulture, and Tristan stayed behind to assist Aston in mitigating and pacifying the fear-stricken populace who had witnessed more people collapsing in the streets or in their homes. They also strengthened the base’s defense, assigning new recruits their first task of patrolling the base in groups of five.

The reason for grouping them in fives was straightforward: despite the base experiencing a domino effect of mass awakenings, it was unlikely that all five members of a group would fall ill simultaneously. Typically, only two or three out of five might get sick.

This way, if more than one person fell ill, one group member could run to the standby patrol to request help and send the sick to the medical facility.

In Kisha’s home, Marcus’s grandchildren also fell ill, starting with Gant and Mike, who got sick a few hours after Kisha left the territory. Daisy followed exactly three hours later. Marcus was busy taking care of the children, so Mrs. Winters gave him time off to focus on them. Marcus took the children inside the space where time moved faster compared to the outside world.

He brought their blankets and a bucket of ice, ensuring they were well taken care of inside.

Kisha considered using the space as a safe haven for the mass awakening, but she couldn’t invite just anyone in. Instead, she decided to allow access to those who already knew about the space but had not yet awakened, such as the Patriarch, Mr. Winters, Tristan, Blade Eagler, Reeve, Aston, and their followers.

She also considered using the space for training purposes to manage time effectively and reap all the benefits. This plan would only work if she were in her territory in City A, where she could build a training area. The time inside the territory space would sync with the designated training area, allowing them to train intensively without affecting their day-to-day tasks.

With this approach, they could maximize training and strengthen all their warriors and themselves in a short period of time.

Now that Kisha had new ideas for the direction of her territory, she felt more energized. However, the challenge was figuring out how to achieve these goals. Without a solid plan in place, Kisha decided to push it to the back burner. "Out of sight, out of mind," she thought. Taking a deep breath to center herself, she then joined the Winters, who were talking animatedly in the living room.

"What are you all so excited about?" Kisha asked as she sat beside Duke, facing his parents and grandfather. They were clearly discussing something that had them all animated and giddy.

Duke scooped her off her seat and made her sit on his lap in front of his parents, earning a stifled chuckle from the elders. Unbothered, Duke acted as if his world had shifted the moment Kisha entered, his entire focus now solely on her. These actions made Kisha feel bashful, while the elders enjoyed the scene, thinking it was just how a newlywed couple should behave.

While Duke was grappling with his internal struggle, Mrs. Winters addressed Kisha’s inquiry. "We were discussing the positive changes you’ve brought to this base. Everywhere we go, we hear people praising you. Despite the fear caused by the mass awakening, many are doing their best not to be a burden.

I believe it has a lot to do with the difference in how the Coltons and the Minister of Defense treated them before, compared to the more supportive environment they’re experiencing now. This shift has played a significant role in winning their trust and loyalty."

The Patriarch also chimed in, "That’s absolutely true. The people working with me are incredibly dedicated. They’re so concerned about not doing enough that they refuse to leave our temporary office until all the laws and other tasks are completed. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Even those working on the warehouse for the Supply Center are putting in tremendous effort—they only stopped when my son insisted, and they returned to their work right after. My son has shared with me just how hard everyone is working to ensure that tasks are completed efficiently and swiftly. This dedication has significantly accelerated our progress and allowed us to achieve more in a day."

Kisha chuckled as she listened to the enthusiastic praise about the workers’ accomplishments while they waited for Aston and the others. It seemed the Winters had enjoyed a productive day, smoothly completing their tasks while working alongside the survivors. Kisha hoped the survivors would maintain their current dedication and not become complacent or take their progress for granted.

Not long after, Aston and the rest arrived at the villa. By then, Kisha had already joined Mrs. Winters in the kitchen, where the Winters’ men were also busy pitching in. They helped with cooking, prepping ingredients, and washing dishes, ensuring that they lightened the load for Kisha and Mrs. Winters.
