My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 58

"Bell, deploy all available bees and have them explore every corner of this shelter. Notify me immediately if anything out of the ordinary is discovered," Kisha instructed through their link.

Duke and the others observed without understanding the exchange, but they witnessed Bell flap its wings twice and give a slight nod—a gesture impossible for an ordinary bee. From this, they surmised that Bell possessed not only an unusual size but also intelligence beyond that of a typical bee.

"What are you planning?" Duke asked as his eyes examined Bell.

Just right after his question left his mouth, a swarm of bees materializes out of nowhere just like how Bell appeared in thin air. They were all fascinated but at the same time felt their skin crawling with bugs.

They were accustomed to seeing Kisha store and retrieve items from her inventory, but witnessing living creatures emerge from her space felt entirely novel to them.

Kisha allowed Bell to fly around the villa, ensuring it had morphed to appear smaller and less conspicuous. Despite being within their own walls, there was still a concern that someone might unexpectedly check on them and notice Bell’s presence.

As she reminded Bell and it changed its size to an even smaller form, the doorbell chimed from outside. Vulture, being closer to the entrance, swiftly took on the task and hurried to check the intercom connected to the doorbell outside.

"Master, it’s a soldier from the (HAMO)House and Allocation Management Office," Vulture reported, standing beside the intercom, awaiting Duke’s response and instructions.

Duke did not immediately answer but looked at Kisha, remembering that they still had this issue.

Kisha waved her hand and instantly, a box worth of instant noodles and canned goods, along with a few gallons of water appeared on top of the coffee table in front of them and Kisha put all the big bags lying on the floor back to her inventory, to make it looked like they have already arranged the supplies they are going to use for the exchange.

Observing that both Kisha and Duke had ceased their movements, Vulture promptly accessed the gate control panel beside the intercom and opened the gate. He positioned himself by the door, ready to welcome the visitors, while Sparrow positioned himself behind Duke and Kisha, assuming a stance akin to a loyal guard dog.

Not long after, the soldier from earlier, accompanied by two more soldiers of lower ranking following him from behind, entered the villa with a wide smile playing their lips.

"Hello again, I hope I am not disturbing your evening as I am only passing by to collect the supplies meant for the rental of the villa." He said as he scanned the living room and immediately saw the supplies they’d talked about in the office earlier.

He did not act humble nor servile towards Duke and the others, instead, he immediately stepped forward to assess the supplies and after making sure that there was nothing missing and it was enough, he nodded and the two soldiers behind him stepped forward to start packing the supplies so they can transport it back to the warehouse after filing it in the inventory.

Kisha and Duke did not try to make a conversation with the soldiers and just watched them complete what they came for, the soldiers also felt uncomfortable under their gazes so they worked faster and left just as soon after a little smile and farewell with the four people living in the big villa.

But even after the people left, Kisha and the rest still did not start another conversation. However, the tranquility was abruptly shattered by the loud grumble of a stomach.

All three turned their heads to look at Kisha, her expression indifferent as if nothing had occurred, and certainly not acknowledging that the noise had emanated from her own stomach.
