My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 417

This only demonstrated the extent of the alterations their level-up had made to their bodies, allowing them to endure discomforts that would have once been unbearable.

Although Duke was simply eating noodles, he found them surprisingly enjoyable and delicious—more so than the gourmet meals he had tasted during his business trips.

Perhaps it was the knowledge that these supplies were meticulously prepared by Kisha that made the food taste so good.

With each bite, he savored not only the flavor but also the effort she had put into it, making it all the more special.

As he ate, a smile crept across his face, and he resolved to find some supplies dedicated to his subordinates.

He wanted them to have their own share of good food so he could fully appreciate the delicious supplies Kisha had prepared just for him.

He knew it was a bit childish, but these small things were his source of happiness, especially now that he was away from Kisha.

It was his way of maintaining sanity amidst the chaos.

No matter how strong Duke’s mental fortitude was, this was still his first experience of the apocalypse, and he was adjusting in his own way. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

After all, he had been born into a peaceful era, where his only concerns revolved around the schemes of the business world.

Perhaps it was the way he had lived his life that allowed him to adapt better than most, but deep down, he still craved the simple pleasures that grounded him.

However, this was the first time he had been so far away from Kisha since the apocalypse began, and it was impossible not to miss her presence.

Yet, that longing only fueled his determination to excel in this mission.

He wanted to alleviate some of Kisha’s burdens and ensure that their efforts would lead to a safer, more secure future for both of them.

After finishing his meal, he carefully washed the utensils he had used, making sure that he used little water because he couldn’t be wasting water now that they had any sure way to filter water, and then, taking a drink to remove the after taste of what he ate and resting for a moment.

When he returned to his subordinates, he found that most of the warriors had fallen fast asleep, snoring in various corners of the room.

Those who were still awake lowered their heads in embarrassment, shaking them in dismay at the sight.

Duke remained silent, understanding their need for rest; he knew that merely sitting around wouldn’t be productive.

He placed the eco bag he had brought with him on the floor, and those who were awake immediately noticed it as soon as he stepped into the room.

"Take this and distribute it among yourselves. See if you can fit it into your bags so you’ll have something to eat during the mission," Duke instructed, settling down near the window. He gestured for them to act quickly, as he had another task prepared for them.

Among the items he packed in the bag were a foldable camping stove, several small butane tanks, and a pot, allowing them to cook noodles or boil water whenever needed.

Having arrived at a nearby grocery store, Duke collected everything still useful from the shelves, checking the warehouse for any additional supplies.

He carefully stored these items in the free space that Kisha had left for him, ensuring he had ample room for whatever else he might find in the city during this mission, allowing him to bring back any valuable supplies.

With eager anticipation, the remaining awake warriors rushed over to Duke’s eco bag, their excitement reminiscent of children rifling through their mother’s grocery haul in search of hidden treats.
