My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse - Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Chapter 501 Wall’s Completion
They not only had to consider the animals’ size but also other factors.

This was why muzzle-type oxygen masks would only work for larger animals like cows and pigs, while isolated pods would be necessary for smaller animals.

Once the plan was finalized, Kisha returned to the villa briefly to deliver all the supplies Tristan had specified.

She didn’t ask many questions, trusting that Tristan and the others had everything under control.

Kisha believed in giving them opportunities to take on leadership roles, knowing it was essential to challenge them occasionally and prepare them for the bigger picture.

The idea for the isolated pod actually came from a carpenter artisan-type awakened ability user.

Initially, they had considered using pods for all types of animals, but given the resources required and the limited time available, it wasn’t feasible.

Constructing pods for every animal would take far too long.

Instead, they decided to modify masks into muzzles for the larger animals and create a few isolated pods for the smaller ones.

This approach was not only more practical but could also be completed within a day or two, ensuring everything was sturdy and reliable.

Despite the workshop still being incomplete, some artisans eagerly began working as soon as they received their first order.

After the STAU delivered the supplies Kisha had delivered to the villa before promptly leaving again, the workers didn’t ask many questions.

They simply assumed the supplies were part of what Sparrow’s team had recovered during their mission to Port City.

On the northern side of the base, the workshop was bustling with activity, supervised by Aston, while Tristan oversaw another critical project around the Territory Space.

This division of tasks ensured no one was overworked. Meanwhile, Duke was immersed in his own work with the engineers about the blueprints.

Kisha, on the other hand, returned to the wall construction site, which had been underway for days.

Her heart raced as she observed the progress. Though a small section of the wall still needed polishing, much had already been accomplished.

Rose was also working tirelessly, reinforcing the wall’s defenses with her Ice Crystal Spikes.

Inspired by Rose’s dedication, Evelyn stepped up as well. She left her new baby and now temporary house-husband to manage things at home while she joined the effort, focusing on strengthening the wall’s gate.

With the wall fortified, the gate also required reinforcement. Standing before each gate, Evelyn used her Metal-Type awakened ability to enhance its strength.

Unlike other abilities that could be conjured from thin air, her power allowed her to manipulate metal at will.

She could alter the metal’s present properties and rearrange its structure on a nanoscale level, essentially reshaping it to her needs.

Her abilities weren’t limited to manipulation alone. Thanks to her ‘Talent: Control Over Metal’ and ‘Gift: Woman of Steel’, Evelyn had an extraordinary affinity for metal.

She could feel it as if it were an extension of her body, even transforming her own skin into metal when necessary.

This unique connection made her work highly effective.

Using her abilities, Evelyn reconstructed the gate’s metal, making it as sturdy as the walls of a great fortress.

This significant upgrade bolstered their defenses, ensuring the gates could rival the resilience of Rose’s Ice Crystal Spikes, adding an extra layer of protection to their stronghold.

Since Evelyn only needed to fortify four gates, her task was far easier compared to Rose’s. It didn’t take her long to finish. By the time the sky turned a bloody red and a heavy gloom settled over the air, everyone’s attention was fixed on the wall.

As the continuous system notifications popped up before her, Kisha’s eyes sparkled like crystals as she confirmed the completion of the Wall’s construction mission.

Standing alongside Vulture, Sparrow, and everyone who had worked tirelessly for nearly two weeks, she felt a surge of emotion.

The sight of their hard work culminating in the completion of the tall, sturdy wall brought an overwhelming sense of pride.

Cheers erupted as emotions ran high. Many collapsed onto the ground inside the base’s walls, their exhaustion momentarily forgotten in the face of their achievement.

The air filled with collective laughter and joy, echoing across the base. Even Kisha couldn’t help but chuckle, her heart lightened by the shared celebration of their hard-earned success.

However, Kisha’s happiness was rooted in the rewards she had just received. For now, she decided not to use the 10 Gachapon Draws immediately.

Instead, she planned to hold onto them until she had more, in hopes of increasing her chances of obtaining more valuable items. She was particularly eager to go for the x100 draw, if possible.

Soon, Duke arrived beside Kisha, having heard the cheers and so, he came out to see what was happening.

As more people emerged from their offices and homes, they saw the celebration of the wall’s completion and joined in.

Together, they admired the sturdy new wall, feeling a sense of security settle in their hearts.

Some even shed tears of joy, overwhelmed by the sense of safety and happiness that had grown day by day within the base.

When Duke and Kisha stood side by side, the cheers shifted toward them.

Everyone began calling their names, followed by words of appreciation and gratitude, as if they were welcoming the heroes of their territory.

Aston and Tristan, having heard the excitement, left their work to join in the celebration.

Aston, ever proactive, immediately sent the cafeteria staff to begin preparing a hot pot feast to share with everyone—everyone, meaning the entire base would gather for a grand banquet.

At this news, the survivors wasted no time.

They eagerly sprang into action, each person doing their part. Some went house to house, borrowing tables and chairs and gathering plates and utensils.

Others transported ingredients from the Supply Center to the cafeteria, while another group helped with preparing the food—washing and cutting vegetables, preparing meats, and making the hot pot sauces.

The whole base became a whirlwind of activity, working together to create a feast for all.

Mr. Winters worked diligently to ensure that all supplies taken from the Supply Center were properly documented and approved, avoiding any issues with future audits.

Once he and his team finished their tasks, they headed to the square, where the banquet was set to take place.

Kisha and Duke wholeheartedly supported the idea of a grand banquet, believing it was only right to honor their people for their hard work.

The feast would celebrate their dedication—their sweat and effort that had gone into building the base and making it a better place.

By doing this, everyone would feel appreciated and recognized for their contributions, ensuring that Kisha and the other leaders weren’t taking credit for the work done.

This small celebration, a moment of joy, would uplift everyone’s spirits and boost morale, preventing any feelings of despair or negativity from taking root.
