My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 525

"Then just buy another City Shield when the second one is nearly used up," Kisha said firmly.

After weighing her options, she concluded that a few thousand points were a small price to pay for the safety of her people.

Even if one City Shield cost 5,000 points, it was worth it—she still had plenty of system points to spare.

"Understood, Host," 008 replied, switching into monitoring mode immediately.

Kisha stepped aside and summoned the holographic display of her territory in City A.

Duke followed quietly, his curiosity evident.

Noticing him, Kisha silently granted him access to view the hologram. The astonishment and awe in Duke’s wide eyes were unexpectedly endearing, softening some of the tension in her chest.

Turning her attention back to the hologram, Kisha began operating the interface, focusing on the territory’s barrier.

Unlike the City Shield she was using for HOPE Base, this barrier was significantly stronger—offering ten times the level of protection.

’Well, it’s only fair,’ Kisha thought, her lips curving into a faint smile. ’I did spend tens of thousands of points to acquire it.’

Seeing that the base in City A was also enduring the Geostorm and the barrier was holding steady, Kisha’s trembling heart calmed, if only for a moment.

"I-Is this the base in City A?" Duke asked hesitantly, his voice barely above a whisper.

His wide eyes were fixed on the holographic display, which showed countless green dots moving throughout the base—some inside the building, others patrolling outside.

Encasing the entire base was a dome-like protective barrier, its energy level displayed as 9,970 and steadily decreasing.

The people inside appeared completely unaware of the storm raging beyond their safe haven.

Duke’s amazement was palpable. The intricate details of the holographic map stirred a sense of wonder in him, and he couldn’t help but feel an almost childlike excitement bubbling in his chest.

His fingers itched to touch the display, to interact with the shimmering projection.

"Do you want to play with it?" Kisha asked teasingly, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

But as the words left her lips, her cheeks flushed when she realized how suggestive her tone sounded.

She glanced around nervously, relieved to see that everyone else in the room was too engrossed in their work to notice her slip.

Duke, oblivious to her embarrassment, was too captivated by the hologram to respond immediately, his awe lighting up his face.

Duke was so captivated by the holographic map that his usual quick wit seemed to vanish entirely.

Kisha let out a small sigh of relief, amused by his childlike enthusiasm.

When he nodded eagerly in response to her offer, she grabbed his hand and led him back to the villa, retreating into the safety of her territory space.

Once inside, Kisha began explaining the intricacies of the holographic map.

As she spoke, Duke’s awe grew.

It dawned on him that Kisha had been monitoring the City A base all along, quietly aware of everything happening there.

She wasn’t just able to call and chat with her brother—she had access to tools and systems that allowed her to oversee and manage the entire base remotely.

"This is incredible," Duke muttered, his voice filled with wonder.

The realization that the City A base was directly connected to her territory space made the whole experience feel even more extraordinary.

His respect for Kisha deepened as he grasped just how far her reach extended and how much effort she put into ensuring their safety.
