My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 604

Kisha, upon hearing the report and seeing the soldiers’ enthusiasm, made an immediate decision.

She ordered the remaining standard bullets to be sent back for remodeling into impact-exploding rounds, ensuring they could maximize the effectiveness of their firepower against the advancing horde.

No one disagreed with Kisha’s decision; the impact-exploding rounds were clearly more effective than the standard ones.

The soldiers stationed on the walls immediately switched to the new ammunition, taking their positions and preparing for the next wave.

Bang!

Bang!

As the rounds hit their targets, the soldiers watched in awe. When the bullet struck a zombie’s head, it penetrated the skull and exploded on impact, causing the zombie’s head to violently disintegrate.

All that remained was a gaping hole, and the lifeless body collapsed to the ground, faceless and motionless.

The soldiers who fired the first successful shots were stunned.

Their mouths dropped open in amazement as they exchanged excited glances. This was no ordinary ammunition—it was a game changer.

Their confidence surged, and they quickly joined in, each soldier now eager to unleash the destructive power of the new rounds.

Within moments, the incoming wave of zombies began to fall in droves, their bodies dropping like flies.

Kisha, not slowing down for a second, kept her focus on casting her "Rainbow Cubes" as swiftly as possible, eliminating as many zombies as she could with each calculated strike.

The evolved zombie showed no signs of slowing down, relentlessly hurling more of its zombie minions toward the wall.

Kisha, undeterred, focused all her energy on striking back, using her skills to knock the zombies back toward the source of this flying zombie.

And it just so happened that she also successfully synthesized a [Dagger+3].

...

[Dagger+3]

[Description: A dagger that has undergone its first synthesis upgrade.

Grade: Normal

Durability: 200/200

Sharpness: +1]

...

Kisha wasn’t sure what the added stat ’Sharpness+1’ would do, but she immediately put the [Dagger+3] to use on the battlefield.

The previous [Dagger+2] had shown little improvement—just more durability than a regular dagger—but it still wore down quickly against the zombies, whose defenses had grown stronger.

Curious about the new stat, Kisha watched with interest as she sent the upgraded dagger into the fray.

To her relief, it performed far better. Though the cuts weren’t as effortless as a knife through butter, the dagger sliced through zombies with noticeably improved efficiency, and its durability held up much longer than before.

Kisha paused for a moment, reflecting on her decision. Initially, she had thought it was a waste of time—each synthesis only seemed to improve durability, and she had been reluctant to keep using daggers for upgrades.

But the surprising results from her latest synthesis gave her a sense of satisfaction, and for the first time, she felt a flicker of excitement at the possibilities.

To upgrade the dagger to +4, Kisha realized she would need to sacrifice more daggers—possibly even using up all the ones in their team’s supply just to create a slightly upgraded version.

This wasn’t the most efficient approach, and it frustrated her. The only benefit of the synthesis process was that even if a dagger was worn out and nearly broken, the end result would still have full durability, unaffected by its previous condition.

Unfortunately, the daggers stored behind her were all too damaged to use for synthesis, leaving her with fewer options.

However, Kisha devised a plan: she could use the [Dagger+2] in battle, letting them wear down in the fight, and then retrieve them just before they broke.

Once the daggers were on the verge of shattering, she would send them for synthesis to improve them further.
