My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 93

"Don’t worry, we’ll get through this," Mr. Winters whispered reassuringly to his wife, drawing her into his embrace as he surveyed the unfolding situation before him. Meanwhile, the old Patriarch also pondered, searching for a solution amidst the chaos.

As the sense of predicament and hopelessness settled over everyone...

Buzz...

Buzzz...

A loud buzzing, like that of an insect’s wings, echoed from beyond the earth’s wall. Perplexed, they couldn’t discern its origin, but they sensed the resistance from the other side diminishing, and the relentless crumbling of the barrier subsided.

As everyone exchanged puzzled looks, Tristan and Vulture exchanged a wide-eyed glance, as though they had suddenly realized what might be happening on the other side—an aspect hidden from them due to their lack of visibility beyond the wall.

Based solely on the sounds, Tristan and Vulture could already deduce what it might be. The buzzing intensified, and soon there were not just one or two but several buzzing sounds, making it impossible to count. Yet, one thing was clear: the source of this sound had just become intertwined with the problem they were facing.

Then, as suddenly as it had intensified, the pressure on the other side of the earth wall disappeared completely.

What startled them next was Vulture’s swift action. He dispersed the earth wall entirely, unveiling a gruesome sight beyond. Zombie corpses littered the floor, their heads neatly sliced in half, while others had been gruesomely dismembered into cubes.

Black blood splattered across the wall, mingling with brain matter that oozed down slowly. Despite their plight, a pang of sympathy struck the group for the zombies, meeting a grim demise. Amidst the carnage, a swarm of bees buzzed around a massive Queen Bee, adorned with crimson stripes along its body.

Its thick forelegs dripped with coagulated black blood, which it diligently tried to rid itself of, conveying a sense of disdain for the tainted substance, as if it were beneath its dignity to bear such filth.

Vulture remained oblivious to Bell’s presence until he noticed her there. He had assumed it was still atop his head, overseeing the scouting bees. Little did he realize that the Queen Bee perched atop him was a formidable killing machine, capable of decimating dozens of zombies single-handedly. From his perspective, the regular bees seemed more adept at distraction than participating in combat.

So, the entire scene before them had been single-handedly managed by Bell, who had now reverted to its original size. Disdainfully buzzing its wings, it attempted to rid its thick forelegs of the blood, a testament to its formidable prowess in killing the zombies or maybe even armed humans.

Given that not everyone was familiar with Bell, the others instinctively assumed combat stances, recognizing it as a potentially greater threat than the zombies surrounding them. However, before they could advance, Tristan halted them, realizing that engaging with Bell would not only be futile but also a waste of time, given its status as their ally.

Upon discovering that Bell belonged to Kisha, they regarded her with newfound respect, silently acknowledging her connection to Duke and thinking, "As expected of our Master’s woman."
