My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 272

Now that Kisha is on a mission to ensure her people receive at least two meals a day, establishing a Supply Center and a cafeteria is an excellent strategy. This plan will help guarantee that no one goes hungry and support the well-being of every survivor in the base.

"Given the situation, we need to find an appropriate location to transform into a warrior base and plan its construction. This will undoubtedly be a long-term project, potentially taking months or even years.

However, with the right awakened ability users, we might be able to expedite the process." Just thinking about the future and the possibility of turning the HOPE Base into the safe haven she always envisioned, along with the base in City A, fills her with energy. Kisha truly believes they can create a real powerhouse this time.

Although the HOPE Base was powerful, it was nothing compared to the military bases established in other cities by politicians who fled with their soldiers. Those bases were able to secure substantial military resources, including thousands of soldiers, making them incredibly formidable. Their numbers reached into the tens of thousands, far exceeding the capacity of the HOPE Base.

The key difference was that these bases exploited civilians, sending them out to gather supplies in exchange for protection within the military base.

So, their practices were not much different from how the county operates—imposing taxes under the guise of protection while exploiting the people and sending them to their doom. Despite its strictness, HOPE Base was still more humane compared to how survivors were treated in those military bases.

Politicians, believing themselves to be still in power, used their influence to exploit smaller bases and shelters, claiming to collect taxes. Those who resisted were raided, with any who fought being killed, creating an atmosphere of terror. This allowed them to rebuild their bases and ensure the smaller groups remained subservient, all while they continued to live off the suffering of others.

If word got out and HOPE Base became known to those other bases, they would undoubtedly target it in hopes of exploiting its resources and stealing from them. That’s why Kisha supported Aston’s plan. She understood the necessity of strengthening their base’s defenses and ensuring they had a sufficient number of capable individuals ready to step into the roles of the fallen warriors.

Certainly, as more survivors flocked to their base, expansion had become an urgent necessity. However, Kisha remained cautious about revealing their other hidden base, as it could serve as a crucial asset in their strategic plans.

"Actually, since we’re discussing expansion, we should prioritize reinforcing our walls. The trailer containers won’t hold up indefinitely, as evidenced by the gaps and damage that allowed zombies to breach during the first raid. With the possibility of Evolved zombies leading future hordes, the threat will only intensify. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Strengthening the walls is crucial for the base’s safety, not just relying on the guards stationed on top," Kisha said thoughtfully.

After hearing Kisha’s thoughts, Aston made a mental note to discuss this with the Minister of Revenue to allocate engineers and architects to evaluate and reinforce the wall structure. The sheer volume of tasks and improvements needed was overwhelming. As they toured the area, Aston realized that their previous standards of "good enough" were inadequate.

What seemed sufficient before was now clearly insufficient, and addressing these issues was crucial.

Their plans hadn’t accounted for evolving zombies or potential threats from individuals with awakened abilities who might target them. Kisha’s concerns highlighted these gaps, making Aston realize just how naive he had been. He acknowledged his own limitations and recognized that he lacked the strategic insight needed to anticipate and counter such scheming minds.
