My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 479

Alongside Rakan and his team, machine guns were positioned on both sides of the gap on top of the cargo trailers, manned by soldiers who vigilantly scanned the perimeter for any signs of incoming zombies.

While the team was well-prepared, Vulture had also stationed additional members from his unit as lookout.

Their job was to ensure no zombies from within the city breached their defenses and approached the base’s wall, maintaining a tight security perimeter.

Though Rakan and his team were eager to prove their worth, Vulture kept them on standby, not giving them a chance to take action.

The boredom quickly set in as they stood watch, while Vulture and his team remained as busy as ever.

Those on guard duty were the ones who had just finished their shifts building up the wall.

Their rest periods had now shifted to perimeter patrol, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with any zombies that might breach the defenses.

The tension in the air was palpable as both sides prepared for whatever might come next.

They were exhausted, every muscle aching from the relentless work, but Kisha’s presence seemed to ease some of their struggles.

Her passive and active skills subtly at play, her influence went unnoticed by most, yet her calming aura and quiet efficiency helped sustain the team’s morale.

Though others couldn’t pinpoint it, there was a sense of relief whenever she was near, her actions quietly lifting the burden without anyone realizing how much she was contributing.

On Duke’s side, after recovering overnight, he and his team, along with Rose, resumed their mission.

This time, with Bell and a few Scarlet Bees by their side, their reconnaissance became much more efficient.

No longer needing to disguise themselves or hide, Bell and the Scarlet Bees soared freely above, scouting ahead and helping to fend off zombies and mutated rats that crossed their path.

This newfound freedom and speed allowed Duke to opt for using a car, greatly accelerating their progress in clearing the mission.

The combination of enhanced mobility and the Scarlet Bees’ support made their operation smoother and far more effective.

By the end of the day, they had completed their reconnaissance, with their final destination being the western side of the city, where the majority of the population had been concentrated.

However, rather than risk traveling by car and potentially becoming stranded among the zombies with no way to escape, they decided to go on foot.

This approach allowed them to remain more agile and avoid any unforeseen obstacles that might trap them in the chaotic city.

Since Duke had already been to this area with Kisha and the others, he was able to navigate it with much greater ease this time.

As he had suspected, the biggest issue with the sewers stemmed from the very spot where he, Kisha, and the others had almost been trapped during their previous visit.

The opening in the sewer had grown larger since then, with the pavement collapsing under the immense weight of the zombies that had been walking over it.

This caused a surge of zombies to fall into the pit and spill into the sewers below.

As they gathered in the tunnels, they had inadvertently flooded the sewers beneath the HOPE Base.

That meant there were already hundreds of thousands of zombies now lurking under the base, creating an even greater threat.

Duke and his team, positioned atop the building, observed the massive pit from a distance.

The pit had grown into something resembling a crater, its edges jagged and wide.

Below them, the street was overwhelmed by a dense sea of zombies, so tightly packed that the pavement was completely obscured.

"V-Vice City Lord, w-what do you mean?" she stammered, her voice trembling with fear. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
