My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 246

After hiring the necessary personnel, the engineers and architects began their preparations. They surveyed the plot behind the future Supply Center, discussed potential designs, and made a list of the materials needed for the construction.

The other workers began clearing out the office materials from the building, sending them to the ’House and Allocation Management Office’ (HAMO). There, the materials were sorted to determine what would be kept and what would be discarded.

Seeing that there were indeed job openings and people of various ages and backgrounds were being hired and starting work, everyone at the base felt a renewed sense of hope and vitality. They prayed more than ever for Kisha and her team to recover from their fever so that Kisha could continue leading them toward a brighter future.

After eating, the people at the base eagerly headed to the Central Hall to explore job opportunities and see what positions they could apply for. To their surprise, there were many open positions, including roles for prosecutors, lawyers, and judges among the listed opportunities.

Despite the slim chances of survival of those people who have these roles, the Patriarch decided to try his luck and apply, hopeful for any assistance in the legal field.

Indeed, the base proved to be a treasure trove of experts who had managed to survive and seek refuge there. Gradually, the job listings from various departments were being filled, and those who were initially deemed useless and a drain on resources turned out to be invaluable.

Their skills and knowledge were crucial in transforming the base into an ideal sanctuary that would provide peace and safety for everyone.

While the Central Hall buzzed with excitement and happiness, another part of the shelter was steeped in gloom and anguish. In the underground dungeon, the air was thick with the stench of blood, and the walls echoed with the agonizing screams of men pleading desperately for forgiveness and mercy.

"Hmm? Now you understand the pain," Duke’s voice, chillingly cold and devoid of emotion, echoed through the underground dungeon. Tristan stood behind him, presenting the next torture tool Duke intended to use on the wretched man chained to the wall, his body covered in a patchwork of deep, bloody wounds.

"Please, stop... Have mercy..." The man, barely able to speak through his labored breaths, managed to plead before he succumbed to his injuries and lost consciousness.

"You’re so spineless, yet you still revel in hurting others?" Duke sneered with cold indifference. He motioned to a guard, who promptly dragged the unconscious man back to his cell and prepared a new prisoner. "Now that I’m done with my warm-up, let’s move on to the main event, shall we?" Duke said, gesturing toward one of the cells.

With just a few subtle gestures, Duke’s subordinate understood his intent. They roughly detached the unconscious man from the chains, pulling his arms out to either side. Without any concern for his well-being, they hauled him back to his cell and tossed him inside. His head struck the doorframe, and he collapsed heavily onto the floor, his survival uncertain and clearly of no concern to them.

After tossing the man into his cell, the guards moved to a nearby cell where another prisoner was frantically screaming for release. "Don’t touch me! Let me go!" The man being dragged out was desperately trying to sound defiant, but his panicked voice betrayed his fear.

His trembling limbs betrayed his desperation. "I’ll do anything you want! I’ll give you everything I have—just let me go!!!"

"Let you go and what?" Duke began, his voice cold and menacing. He gestured for his subordinate to chain the man to the wall while he held a whip embedded with steel thorns. "To give you a chance to ambush us again?" Duke’s devilish smile sent chills through the air. "Young Master Coltons, you brought this upon yourself.

You knew full well that I have no tolerance for those who harbor malice against me. Now you and your people must face the consequences."
