My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 282

After Kisha finished sorting those with gifts and talents to be cared for by their family or other workers and sending those without into isolated quarantine, it was already growing dark. She took her leave and headed home, where Duke and Winters were waiting for her, sitting in a circle around the living room.

Sparrow, Vulture, and Tristan stayed behind to assist Aston in mitigating and pacifying the fear-stricken populace who had witnessed more people collapsing in the streets or in their homes. They also strengthened the base’s defense, assigning new recruits their first task of patrolling the base in groups of five.

The reason for grouping them in fives was straightforward: despite the base experiencing a domino effect of mass awakenings, it was unlikely that all five members of a group would fall ill simultaneously. Typically, only two or three out of five might get sick.

This way, if more than one person fell ill, one group member could run to the standby patrol to request help and send the sick to the medical facility.

In Kisha’s home, Marcus’s grandchildren also fell ill, starting with Gant and Mike, who got sick a few hours after Kisha left the territory. Daisy followed exactly three hours later. Marcus was busy taking care of the children, so Mrs. Winters gave him time off to focus on them. Marcus took the children inside the space where time moved faster compared to the outside world.

He brought their blankets and a bucket of ice, ensuring they were well taken care of inside.

Kisha considered using the space as a safe haven for the mass awakening, but she couldn’t invite just anyone in. Instead, she decided to allow access to those who already knew about the space but had not yet awakened, such as the Patriarch, Mr. Winters, Tristan, Blade Eagler, Reeve, Aston, and their followers.

She also considered using the space for training purposes to manage time effectively and reap all the benefits. This plan would only work if she were in her territory in City A, where she could build a training area. The time inside the territory space would sync with the designated training area, allowing them to train intensively without affecting their day-to-day tasks.

With this approach, they could maximize training and strengthen all their warriors and themselves in a short period of time.

Now that Kisha had new ideas for the direction of her territory, she felt more energized. However, the challenge was figuring out how to achieve these goals. Without a solid plan in place, Kisha decided to push it to the back burner. "Out of sight, out of mind," she thought. Taking a deep breath to center herself, she then joined the Winters, who were talking animatedly in the living room.

"What are you all so excited about?" Kisha asked as she sat beside Duke, facing his parents and grandfather. They were clearly discussing something that had them all animated and giddy.

Duke scooped her off her seat and made her sit on his lap in front of his parents, earning a stifled chuckle from the elders. Unbothered, Duke acted as if his world had shifted the moment Kisha entered, his entire focus now solely on her. These actions made Kisha feel bashful, while the elders enjoyed the scene, thinking it was just how a newlywed couple should behave.
