My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 443

Keith became the main bridge of communication between Kisha and the people in the base in City A.

Kisha, careful not to reveal the unique abilities of her territory, opted to pass her messages through him.

Although Hawk and Eagle were curious about how Kisha and Keith managed to communicate so seamlessly, they respected boundaries and refrained from asking questions.

Keith had already distributed the Scarlet Honey according to Kisha’s instructions and explained how to use it.

Although initially hesitant to teach the Evans and Blythe families the techniques Kisha had shared, Kisha’s assurance that she would remove anyone who caused trouble put Keith’s mind at ease.

Knowing that the teachings came directly from Kisha, the Winters’ men—and surprisingly, even the Evans and Blythe families—complied fully, following Keith’s guidance closely.

Day by day, they continued to grow stronger, especially as they began collecting crystal cores based on the latest communication between Keith and Kisha.

Keith passed along Kisha’s message, encouraging everyone to gather as many crystal cores as possible during supply runs.

This practice not only provided them with a valuable resource but also gave them regular experience dealing with zombies, sharpening their skills with each encounter.

At first, many were disgusted by the task of retrieving crystal cores, especially the Blythes family, who were appalled at having to dig through a zombie’s skull to find the core within its brain.

Initially, they thought Keith was playing a prank on them.

However, when they actually discovered something inside the zombies’ heads, they began to believe.

Still, the core resembled broken glass, which kept them somewhat skeptical.

Meanwhile, the Winters and Evans families accepted it more readily, having learned to trust Kisha’s guidance without question.

As for the elderly Aldens couple, they had been briefed by Kisha before her departure and believed everything she said wholeheartedly.

Kisha’s grandparents were also making remarkable progress, which even surprised Kisha.

They had quickly learned how to harness the spiritual energy within their bodies and effectively use the Scarlet Honey, becoming stronger day by day.

Grandpa Aldens no longer had to worry about struggling with heavy loads; he could easily carry a sack of rice for Grandma Aldens and even lift a horse if he so wanted.

His awakened ability was particularly impressive: he was a body enhancer, capable of doubling his strength, agility, or defense—though only one attribute at a time.

Kisha suspected that as he leveled up, he might even reach a tenfold increase, which motivated him to train intensely.

Grandma Aldens’ ability was equally intriguing.

Known as a "Home Maker," she could influence others’ emotions, providing comfort, dispelling negativity, and boosting morale.

Her awakened ability worked like a form of mental reinforcement, akin to brainwashing, though it only took effect if the individuals around her had lower mental resilience and willingly accepted her influence.

Her unique ability had become a subtle yet powerful way to support the mental well-being of everyone in the community.

Many people in the base willingly accepted Grandma Aldens’ ability, which created a sense of calm and unity.

Her influence helped dispel fear, allowing everyone to focus on growth and resilience.

As they grew stronger, many were soon ready to prepare for their first level up, diligently practicing their abilities each day.

Keith, in particular, had made impressive strides.

His ability to create realistic illusions became an invaluable asset, allowing him to lure manageable groups of zombies toward his team, so they could eliminate them without overwhelming numbers.
