My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 310

Surprisingly, Mike showed no distress and nodded in agreement with Kisha’s suggestion. It was clear that he had managed to separate his feelings for the animals from his professional responsibilities. "Understood, Young Madam. How should we proceed with this? We’re facing similar issues with the other pens, like those for the sheep and other livestock.

Should we apply the same approach to them?" Mike asked, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"Yes, in the future, we can increase the number of animals since I’ll be able to upgrade the limits and expand this facility. However, for now, we need to keep the animal population under control," Kisha said.

"For now, we can send the extra male livestock to Sparrow and the others to be butchered, and then deliver it to the Supply Center in smaller batches. This way, we can avoid surprising people with the large quantity of meat. In the meantime, we should plan for a regular supply run to find live animals outside to bring into the base.

This will help cover for the steady meat supply at the Supply Center and not let people get suspicious of us," Kisha suggested, her tone tinged with concern and a hint of a headache building.

She had a lot on her plate at the moment. Not only did she need to ensure a steady supply at the Supply Center to prevent anyone in her base from going hungry and to fulfill her mission, but she also had to manage this supply within reasonable limits to avoid raising any suspicions about her seemingly endless resources.

At the start, when she distributed supplies to ensure everyone was well-fed, she used the Coltons’ and the Minister of Defense’s hidden stashes as a cover. She let the survivors believe that the supplies in the Supply Center were from these hidden reserves. Even now, they still think that the stock in the Supply Center is what’s left of that stash.

However, this cover has its limits, especially since none of her people have gone on a supply run in several days.

Currently, she is supporting over five thousand survivors at her base. The situation has improved recently due to the implementation of a new work system. Now, survivors needed to work to earn points they could use to purchase their supplies, as Kisha no longer provided free meals.

She also wanted to avoid any suspicion that the meat being supplied to the Supply Center might be human meat. In the apocalypse, cannibalism could become a grim reality, as those facing extreme hunger might resort to such practices, treating humans like livestock, feeding and raising them to be more plump for consumption.

With so much meat coming into the base, many might suspect her and her people of such unscrupulous practices just to keep the base functioning and its inhabitants fed. Given that thousands of survivors were taking shelter there, it would be easy for one or two missing individuals to go unnoticed.

With the vegetables, she could easily explain them away by citing her employment of a farmer with an awakened ability to enhance crop growth, which wasn’t untrue. She could also close off the northern section and use that land for farming, ensuring the survivors knew where the crops were coming from and thus would not suspect anything unusual.

Given that superhumans with various abilities had already emerged and the survivors had seen this firsthand, they were inclined to believe Kisha’s explanations. However, she knew they weren’t naive, so she still needed to provide clear evidence and maintain a fake transparency to avoid any suspicion.
