My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse - Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Chapter 306 New Sense Of Purpose
This strategic move was designed to quell any lingering doubts and shift the focus away from Kisha. By demonstrating that the patients were being properly cared for, she aimed to move past the incident. If anyone were to be held responsible, it should be the individual who released the zombie, leading to the deaths of five innocent people, rather than Kisha.

However, this oversight was also Kisha’s. Some of the patients in isolation or those who were likely to awaken had family members who were deeply affected. Witnessing their loved ones turn into zombies was a devastating blow that no one could easily bear. As a parent, the man responsible might have clung to any possible way to save his child, even at the cost of others’ lives.

She couldn’t entirely blame the man, but that didn’t change the fact that she had to hold him accountable. While she understood his desperation, his actions were unacceptable, and the safety of everyone in the base was now her responsibility. Sympathy couldn’t override the need for order and justice in such a crucial situation.

Soon, it was confirmed that 70% of the patients had awakened an ability. Although some sick patients continued to arrive, the atmosphere had shifted. The initial fear had begun to dissipate, as seeing so many recovered and returned to normal instilled a sense of belief in Kisha’s assurances. The people’s trust in her was slowly being restored and this trust is becoming stronger than before.

After all, as the saying goes, “seeing is believing.” Now that people could see with their own eyes that most of the sick patients hadn’t turned into zombies—aside from the unfortunate few responsible for the incident—the majority of those who had been sent to the medical facility were alive and well. This visible reassurance helped restore their faith.

The medical staff openly shared with everyone that Kisha had meticulously arranged the isolation of patients, separating those who needed to be isolated from those who could safely remain in the hallways. It turned out that all the patients who had turned into zombies were among those she had isolated, while none of the patients who remained in the hallways had succumbed to the infection.

With this testimony, many people began to believe that Kisha was truly sent by the heavens to guide them through the apocalypse. Her actions and orders were revered as their guiding principles, and no one dared question her authority again after witnessing the events. They also learned the full details of the incident that led to the five casualties, further solidifying their trust in her leadership.

The medical staff were open about the fact that the deceased man seen earlier being carried out by Kisha was the individual responsible for releasing the zombie from its isolation, which resulted in five patients being attacked. By the time Sparrow and Vulture arrived, the five victims had begun to turn into zombies. The medical team was at a loss for how to handle the situation and decided to focus on stopping the bleeding in an attempt to save the remaining patients.

If Sparrow and Vulture had not arrived in time, the five victims who were turning into zombies would have gone on a rampage inside the medical facility, potentially causing numerous casualties among defenseless patients. Without Kisha, both the soldiers and medical staff were essentially clueless and disoriented, unable to effectively address the escalating crisis.

Since Sparrow and Vulture were already accustomed to dealing with zombies, they quickly killed the five newly transformed zombies upon arrival, leaving the soldiers and medical staff astonished as they witnessed the demonstration of their awakened abilities up close. The soldiers and medical staff eagerly shared their observations with others who had come with Kisha to see the situation. One soldier even animatedly mimicked the actions of Sparrow and Vulture, reflecting the excitement and fascination of the onlookers.

They also made sure to mention how Kisha handled the unusually fast zombie, describing how they hadn’t even seen the events unfold or how Kisha and the zombie ended up crashing through the wall when they had only been standing in front of them moments before. They were honest with those who came to gossip, accurately recounting what they had witnessed without embellishment.

As a result, many people came to recognize the strength of Kisha and her team. The conversation soon shifted to the patients who had been sent to the medical facility and their conditions. The medical staff openly conducted checks on the patients who had recovered after being bedridden and ill throughout the day. After assessing their health, it was confirmed that all the patients were indeed fine.

In fact, everyone in the hallways had regained their health to the point where they were in better condition than before their confinement. Kisha instructed Sparrow and Vulture to gather everyone she indicated, which turned out to be 90% of those who had awakened abilities. After grouping them, she allowed Sparrow and Vulture to lead these newly awakened superhumans into the square, where they began teaching them how to familiarize themselves with their newly acquired powers.

When the onlookers learned that many people had awakened their abilities, the families of the patients were overjoyed. They eagerly followed Sparrow and Vulture to the square to see their loved ones in action. Among the newly awakened superhumans were Evelyn Steel and her husband. While Evelyn was still uncertain about what was happening, her husband, who had heard everything and trusted Kisha completely, urged her to join them. He guided her to the square, where she participated in the exercises demonstrated by Sparrow and Vulture on stage.

He now felt a renewed sense of purpose and was determined to live again. His wife, despite her initial disorientation, managed to follow the exercises and was moved to tears when her awakened ability manifested. Her emotional reaction drew attention not only from the onlookers who had come to see what was happening but also from Sparrow and Vulture, who approached to see Evelyn, who was on the floor, wailing and mumbling to herself.

Only her husband understood the depth of her tears and said, “Honey, now that you have the power to protect us, there’s no need to be afraid anymore. Become stronger so we can safeguard our family, especially as we plan to have more children. We’ll find happiness here at the base, I’m sure of it. I’ll do my best too, to awaken my own ability, so that we can both be protectors for our family.” As he spoke, his voice choked with emotion, and he embraced his wife, who was overwhelmed by her emotional breakdown.

Evelyn was crying because she felt that if she had awakened her ability earlier, their daughter and other family members might not have died. Overwhelmed by helplessness and distress, she found some relief in her husband’s words. His heartfelt promise and clear vision gave her a renewed sense of purpose. She felt her heart lighten as she resolved to embrace the new goal he set for them both, determined to become stronger and ensure she would never be as powerless as she felt before.

The onlookers were moved to tears by the man’s words and felt inspired to follow his lead. As a result, the newly awakened individuals began to take the exercises more seriously, resolving to become stronger themselves.
