My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 626

"Don't downplay your work," Kisha said, glancing back at the teenage boy. "Not everyone would think of doing this, even if they've seen it online."

She gave Mike two thumbs up before shifting her gaze around the enclosure. It was set within the sheep pen, surrounded by grassy land.

Her brows furrowed as she considered something—the water from the enclosure could be used to irrigate the grass, replenished by the steady stream flowing through the farm.

A small man-made canal directed water from the stream to the enclosure, with a wooden plank serving as a stopper.

If they needed to add more water, they could simply lift the plank and put it back to stop the flow when necessary, making water management much easier.

However, to replace the old water inside the enclosure, they had to manually scoop it out using large pails and discard it before refilling with fresh, clean water. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

However, she noticed the water inside the enclosure was bubbling.

That meant Mike had likely added something to create the effect, possibly a detergent.

A worrying thought crossed her mind—if the treated water was flushed out onto the grass and the sheep ate it, she didn't even want to imagine the consequences.

She couldn't help but ask, "Mike, what did you use to make the water bubble?"

"Oh, Young Madam," Mike began, scratching the back of his head. "When I was building the enclosure, I realized that plain water alone wouldn't be enough to properly clean the sheep's coats."

"So, I searched the forest and found a type of plant that looked like a flower but secreted a slimy liquid. From what I know, certain plants like that can act as natural detergents or shampoo."

"I did some experiments first to make sure it was safe and effective, and it turned out to work really well."

"Since there's an abundance of these plants in the forest, I collected some of the liquid and added it to the water. This way, it gently cleans the sheep without any harsh smells that could irritate them or affect the scent of their wool."

"Plus, when we drain the water onto the grassland before refilling it, it won't harm the grass. Instead, it acts as a natural fertilizer because it contains dirt and traces of sheep waste."

"I've noticed the grass growing even lusher without needing to toss in extra vegetable scraps for decomposition."

Kisha was truly amazed. Mike made it sound so simple, but in reality, his level of thoughtfulness and effort was remarkable.

Even experienced animal caretakers wouldn't go to such lengths—scouring the mountains for a natural shampoo or detergent when they had commercial options readily available in the warehouse.

Most people would have taken the easier route, but Mike thought differently.

He considered not just the effectiveness of cleaning the sheep's coats but also their health and how the solution would impact their living environment.

His dedication and foresight were beyond impressive.

"Well done, Mike." Kisha nodded, looking at him with a proud smile and a gentle gaze. Even Duke regarded him with appreciation.

Though still a teenager, Mike displayed remarkable maturity and dependability, reaffirming their belief that entrusting the entire animal farm to him had been the best decision they could have made.

Seeing this, Duke reached out and gently patted Kisha's head, his voice filled with warmth. "You've done well too—you have a great eye for people."

In the past, Kisha might have felt insulted by those words. Being told she had "a great eye for people" would have felt like rubbing salt in the wound, a cruel reminder of the countless betrayals she had suffered—betrayals that had ultimately led to her death.

But now, after countless trials and errors, she truly felt like she had succeeded. She had gathered talented individuals, and her squad was finally taking shape just as she had envisioned.

With a genuine smile, Kisha nodded in agreement.

Not far from the sheep pen was the cowshed, where Rose, Evelyn, Reeve, and Clyde were seated on wooden stools, manually milking the cows.

This time, there were no machines to assist them, so once the Winters' men finished storing the sheared fleece in the territory's warehouse, they joined in to help with the milking.

Fortunately, there were only a few dozen dairy cows, making the task manageable.

Among the cows was a highland cattle that had recently given birth. Rose and Evelyn focused on milking her since highland cattle produce milk rich in butterfat.
