My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 515

As the sun dipped lower, Duke glanced at the sky.

Instead of the usual fiery red hue, it appeared dark and ominous, the air unnaturally still.

"Hurry up, a storm’s coming," he ordered, prompting the others to look up.

Given the intense heat earlier that day, Duke knew this storm wouldn’t be ordinary.

A sense of unease settled in him—he worried they might get caught outside.

Despite not having traveled too far from the factory and knowing that some zombies still roamed nearby, he pushed the STAU to bring out the trucks.

"Get the trucks ready, we need to move fast!"

"Understood, Vice City Lord!" The STAU quickly retrieved the trucks from their space.

The drivers rushed to their seats while the rest of the warriors fought outside, clearing a path.

As the engine of the truck roared to life, the warriors slowly began boarding.

Duke made his way to the front, climbing into the passenger seat.

With everything in motion, they sped off.

The zombies nearby, drawn by the noise, quickly rushed toward them.

Fortunately, the path had already been cleared, allowing the trucks to barrel through. As the vehicles surged forward, they plowed into the oncoming zombies, scattering them out of the way.

Duke and the others quickly activated their awakened abilities, ensuring the zombies didn’t get too close to the front while also clearing the path ahead.

They needed to ensure the truck wouldn’t get trapped in the heart of the horde.

The driver, sensing the urgency in Duke’s demeanor, pressed harder on the gas pedal, pushing the truck to its limits.

With the constant threat looming, he too felt the pressure to reach their destination as quickly as possible, his anxiety rising alongside Duke’s.

Duke hadn’t intended for his anxiety to show, but as he glanced up at the sky, he couldn’t help but feel his heart race.

The intense heat earlier in the day hinted at a storm that could be far more dangerous than usual.

The longer they remained outside, the greater the risk to his people. He was certain that Kisha had already sensed the shift in the weather and was likely preparing for the storm as well.

On Kisha’s side, once the intense heat was alleviated by the Ice Crystal Spikes, everyone’s condition improved significantly.

Many people, unwilling to lose a day’s work, brought their tasks to the medical facility, setting up tables and continuing their work in the shade.

Kisha couldn’t help but laugh as she watched them, amused by their determination.

While others focused on their crafts, she moved through the base, ensuring that everyone was safe and accounted for.

Some of the Ice Crystal Spikes were also placed in the square, providing more space for people to gather and stay cool.

As the sun began to set, Kisha started retrieving the Ice Crystal Spikes, carefully returning them to their original positions.

Meanwhile, Vulture led a group of earth-type awakened ability users to seal the holes left in the ground by the spikes.

With her enhanced telekinesis, Kisha was able to manipulate heavier objects with ease, so it only took a few trips to restore all the Ice Crystal Spikes she had taken from the southern wall.

A few earth-type awakened ability users assisted, ensuring the spikes were securely reattached, reinforcing the ground to prevent them from loosening and falling off.

Once Kisha finished, she paused at the top of the southern wall, gazing up at the sky.

The cold breeze was unnervingly still, and the once fiery red hue of the setting sun had been replaced by a dark, ominous gloom.
