My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse - Chapter 396

Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Continue Working
Now that Kisha and Duke had successfully addressed the issue with Rose and the soldiers and warriors had finally caught some much-needed rest, Kisha remained vigilant for a possible second wave of the zombie raid.

She commanded Vulture and the rest of the defense team to continue expanding the territory and clearing the area where the new wall would be built.

Meanwhile, she directed Aston and the soldiers to use the crane and forklift to transport the cargo trailers that Sparrow had brought back, initiating the construction of the wall to follow Vulture and his team.

While the defense team was hard at work, the offense team took the opportunity to rest. If all went well, Kisha planned to send them out again the following day.

Before that, she dispatched a warrior to check on the five STAU members to ensure they were training and using the Scarlet Honey to strengthen their constitutions.

This preparation aimed to help them level up, thereby increasing their capacity to store more cargo trailers in their space on their next mission.

Despite the exhaustion weighing on both the soldiers and warriors after the recent events, none voiced their complaints.

They understood the significance of their efforts and recognized that without thorough preparation, their safety would be at risk.

Knowing they could face another attack at any moment, completing their tasks took precedence over resting.

A brief respite sufficed; most of them had awakened their abilities, making them far more resilient than ordinary humans, allowing them to bounce back to work swiftly.

Kisha didn’t stay at the western wall for long. After surveying the area briefly, she deployed a few hundred scarlet bees to guard the perimeter without needing to move.

She instructed the gatekeeper to radio her if they noticed another wave of zombie horde approaching, then secured the radio to her waistband before leaving.

Although the soldiers at the western wall felt nervous without Kisha’s formidable presence, they understood she had many responsibilities around the base and couldn’t stay with them.

She had reassured them that she would respond quickly if they called for her and had promised that she left a capable protector in place, one who could fend off any horde until her return.

With Kisha’s reassurances in mind, the soldiers allowed her to leave, fully committed to their duty of guarding the western wall.

They understood the responsibility entrusted to them and remained vigilant, determined not to disappoint her or become negligent in their task.

Seeing their determined expressions, Kisha felt reassured about leaving the western wall to join Vulture in constructing the new wall outside.

If a sudden zombie raid were to occur while Vulture and the others were outside, they would be extremely vulnerable.

With Vulture alone, it would be challenging for him to protect everyone and ensure their safe retreat back inside the wall.

Although the decision to send them outside the wall to continue building the new barrier was fraught with danger—especially with the looming possibility of a second zombie wave—Kisha felt her hands were tied.

She had no choice but to take this gamble. With only a few days to complete the wall’s construction, every second counted, and they had already squandered nearly the entire day, just now beginning after lunch.

Given the time they had already wasted, her presence was more crucial than ever.

Not only did she need to stand guard, but she also aimed to assist in stamina and spiritual energy recovery.

This would allow them to work continuously until dusk, with the hope of erecting at least a kilometer—or more—of the new wall outside.

Without hesitation, Kisha rushed to the site where Vulture and his team were working.

Upon her arrival, she found Vulture and his crew clearing the streets of the vehicles that had been left behind.

Aston and the other soldiers were still inside the wall, coordinating the transport of cargo trailers.

It would have been easier if the five STAU members could assist them, as their help would eliminate the need for large trucks and cranes.

However, when Aston learned that the five were currently engaged in closed-door training to prepare for their level-up, they all agreed not to disturb them.

Aston devised a transport plan, knowing that even though the journey would be brief, preparation was essential.

He wanted to ensure that, in the event of an emergency or a sudden attack, his team wouldn’t succumb to panic and chaos.

Although it took some time for Aston and his soldiers to arrive, Kisha didn’t blame them.

She understood how Aston operated, and thankfully, the cargo trailers arrived just as the streets were cleared of the scattered cars and vans.

Without wasting a moment, Aston and his team sprang into action, utilizing the forklift and crane to position the trailers simultaneously.

Their focus on efficiency paid off; within minutes, they successfully secured three cargo trailers and prepared to head back inside for the next batch.

As Aston and his team made their way back, Kisha directed Vulture’s team in front of the cargo trailers.

“Alright! All earth-type ability users, step forward!” she announced, her calm and composed demeanor commanding attention.

Instantly, everyone stood up straighter, and the Earth ability users stepped forward with a sense of urgency.

“Now! I want each of you to conjure an earth wall around these cargo trailers, both inside and out. Make it at least 7 to 10 inches thick!” Kisha commanded, gesturing toward the trailers positioned in front of them.

The team exchanged anxious glances as they assessed the towering height and substantial thickness required for the task.

The challenge of fulfilling Kisha’s request felt daunting, and a sense of apprehension washed over them.

Without hesitation, Vulture stepped forward and began the task.

He concentrated intently, slowly conjuring the earth wall while focusing on achieving the desired thickness and hardness.

Kisha watched him work, a slight smile forming on her lips as she nodded in satisfaction.

She knew that Vulture was attuned to her expectations, especially when it came to tasks like this.

Everyone paused to watch Vulture for a moment, understanding dawning on them as they observed his technique. Inspired by his example, they soon began to work as well.

Fortunately, there were plenty of earth-type ability users among them, and since Kisha had already grouped them separately from the other awakened individuals, they found it easier to collaborate effectively.

Thanks to their practice from last night’s attack, they now had better control over their awakened abilities.

Almost everyone was able to create the wall Kisha required.

While it wasn’t an instant construction and would take some time to fully materialize, it was still significantly faster than manually erecting a wall with cement and hollow blocks as they usually did with many infrastructures.

Under Vulture’s leadership, the other earth-type ability users continued to conjure the earth wall, diligently working together.

Meanwhile, the rest of the defense team stood guard, ready to fend off any zombies that might emerge from the city.

Kisha remained nearby, silently letting her passive skill to help them recover their spiritual strength.

Although their task appeared simple, only they understood the difficulty behind it.

Even Vulture had to concentrate intensely to ensure he didn’t compromise the durability of the earth wall.
