My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 859

Chapter 859: Chapter 859 Memorial Hall

In the meantime, because of the limited supply, Aston asked the warriors to bring their own plates, bowls, and utensils. Each person was also responsible for cleaning their own items to avoid overburdening the staff and to prevent the loss or mix-up of personal utensils.

Things were going according to plan. Although the entire base was buzzing with activity, everything was progressing smoothly. Duke’s biogas farm project was well underway, and the lightning-gathering machine had been successfully reinstalled in the backyard of Villa #5. By the third day, Engineer Steel’s team had managed to install a power port onto the Military Academy’s building and rewired its entire electrical system.

As a result, the academy finally had a stable power supply, marking the thirtieth day since their arrival inside the building. The warriors undergoing training had also made remarkable progress, advancing by leaps and bounds.

But despite all the positive developments, Kisha knew better than to let her guard down. She had learned the hard way that the Constellation never stayed silent for long. The more peaceful things seemed, the more likely they were to throw a curveball her way. And the quieter it got... the more dangerous the next mission was bound to be. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

[The God of Mischief and Deception is watching you with interest.]

[The Goddess of Nature has grown curious about your territory.]

And just now, seeing that several Constellations were already watching her so early in the morning, Kisha rolled her eyes and muted the notifications. The first time she saw that alert, she’d been flustered and worried, who wouldn’t be, knowing literal gods were keeping tabs on them?

But over time, she came to realize something important: they had likely been watching her since day one. If that was the case, they’d already seen everything worth seeing. What could she possibly hide now?

It was far too late to start covering her tracks.

But what they didn’t know was that Kisha had gained access to a higher authority, equal to the very power the Constellations wielded. They couldn’t see her status window, nor were they aware that she could identify exactly which of them were watching her at any given moment. So instead of panicking, Kisha chose to play dumb, letting them think she was oblivious, all the while observing them in return.

She needed answers. Were all the gods and goddesses conspiring to make her life difficult, or was there just one particularly spiteful Constellation pulling the strings behind the scenes, inviting the others to watch for entertainment, to cure their divine boredom with her struggle?

This was the only way she could learn more about them. Her next goal was clear: increase her authority. She had a hunch that the more power she gained, the stronger her connection to the Constellations would become. And through that deeper link, she might be able to peer behind the curtain, spy on them, piece by piece, and eventually unmask the one orchestrating this entire farce.

"Here you go!" Duke said cheerfully, setting down a plate of pan-grilled cheesy toast with fried eggs and crispy bacon in front of Kisha. The aroma alone broke her train of thought. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head before grabbing another plate from the kitchen and sitting beside her at the counter.

With a playful smile, he nudged the plate toward her. "Try it while it’s hot," he grinned.

Kisha took a bite, and immediately the melted cheese stretched into creamy strings, still steaming. The toast was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and layered with a blend of cheeses and herbs that made her eyes light up. Paired with the eggs and bacon, it was heavenly. To help it go down, she took a sip of her honey apple juice, refreshing and just right.

"So? How is it?" Duke asked eagerly, looking like an excited golden retriever waiting for praise.

Kisha couldn’t help but grin with her mouth full, nodding vigorously. Her delight was answer enough, and Duke beamed proudly before digging into his own toast.

Moments like this had become their quiet ritual, a rare time to connect amid their busy schedules. With Duke handling the biogas project and Kisha finally recovered from the three-day seal on her awakened ability, she was taking it slow those days. Going outside back then might draw her into an unexpected fight with a mutated zombie, which she wanted to avoid, as she was going to be helpless. Once she finished breakfast, her plan was clear: inspect the Military Academy and check on the progress of the other key projects.

Once they finished eating, Duke and Kisha reluctantly parted ways at the villa’s front door, exchanging one last lingering look. Inside, Keith, lounging on the sofa, looked like he was having an allergic reaction to their public display of affection, his expression twisted in mock disgust.

Meanwhile, Grandma Aldens was clearly loving it, clapping her hands with a delighted smile. Grandpa Aldens, on the other hand, had a deep scowl on his face, like some pig had just stolen his prized cabbage.
