My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 76

After Kisha finished washing up, she made her way to the kitchen to whip up a quick breakfast for everyone, while Duke took his time to freshen up in her room.

Upon hearing movements in the kitchen, Vulture snapped awake, instantly on alert. He found Kisha preparing breakfast, prompting him to approach, still a bit groggy from just waking up.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Vulture’s voice sounded hoarse, as though he might be coming down with a cold.

"Did you catch a cold?" Kisha asked, confirming her suspicion.

"No, young madam. This is my natural voice after waking up," Vulture meekly smiled at Kisha. Unlike other guys who sounded alluring after waking up, he, on the other hand, sounded like he had a sore throat.

"Alright, you should sit there for a while. I’ll whip up a quick breakfast for everyone. And later, don’t forget to call the other guys from the opposite apartment," Kisha said as she busied herself in the kitchen, preparing corn soup, pan-seared fish, egg rolls, and rice.

As she cooked, Kisha ensured there was enough food for all 11 of them. While busy in the kitchen, she didn’t forget to inquire about the situation in their base from 008.

"008, how are my grandparents and little brother at the base? Any changes?" Kisha asked as she beat the egg.

"Host, Keith is excelling in his physical training, along with the illusion manipulation training you imparted before your departure," 008 reported happily, then added, "Ethan is effectively coordinating with Hawk and Eagle in managing the training and perimeter defense of the base.

Despite no zombie threats in the vicinity, the patrol team remains vigilant and proactive, perhaps due to Ethan’s leadership."

"How’s that woman?" Kisha’s voice turned cold.

"You mean Melody? So far, she’s performing well in her duties. There haven’t been any underhanded moves from her. Instead, it seems she’s focusing on winning everyone’s favor."

Kisha chuckled coldly. "She thought she could catch me off-guard and rally everyone against me once we’re back?"

Kisha was only able to leave her family in the base with complete strangers only because she had her territory pack, just like what she had found out before, after playing with her territory pack for the first time, she could see what the people in the territory is doing like a surveillance camera.

That alone was a formidable tool; nothing could evade her prying eyes, no matter how discreetly they maneuvered. Moreover, she held the power to expel anyone from her territory at will. This expulsion meant they could never set foot in her domain again unless she chose to welcome them back.

Eric and Mr. Evans were also occupied with surveying and tallying the supplies in storage. Their furrowed brows betrayed their concern as they realized the limited quantity of provisions stored, scarcely enough to last a month or two if the community expanded. However, their anxiety was somewhat alleviated by the presence of the livestock, offering a supplementary source of sustenance.

She also observed Hawk and Eagle in Duke’s office and engaged in a call with Duke. He informed them of the discovery of the Winters’ location, prompting Hawk and Eagle to rejoice visibly at the news. Their emotions overflowed, evident in the tears welling in their eyes, a testament to the shared anxiety they had endured.

After confirming that she had checked every aspect of the territory and ensuring that everything was running smoothly, she continued her tasks with a lighter heart.

Soon, Vulture brought the seven new people in from the apartment opposite them. He also assisted Kisha in setting the food on the table, and the others called the sleeping Sparrow and Duke to come and eat.

After finishing their breakfast, two of the newcomers took charge of clearing the table and washing the dishes in the sink. Then, as if recalling something important, Sparrow spoke up. "Master, I forgot to inform you last night, but I heard from the lookouts that the ones targeting your family were the young master of the Coltons."

Duke’s expression remained unchanged. "I suspected as much," he replied calmly. Kisha, too, showed no signs of surprise upon hearing Sparrow’s words.

Both she and Duke had already surmised this possibility the moment they learned about the Coltons in the shelter. It was inconceivable for such influential figures to be absent from a place like the shelter, given their status as one of the most powerful families in City A.
