My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 900

Chapter 900: Chapter 900 Preparation For Departure

As Sparrow continued speaking, the others nodded in understanding. They grasped the point he was trying to make. In this apocalyptic world, although the old order no longer existed, the aftermath of the first zombie wave following the Geostorm had taught them a harsh truth: no matter how strong their individual base became, their strength alone was still insignificant. They needed support from other shelters.

The number of surviving humans was drastically small compared to the vast hordes of zombies roaming the earth. To survive and carve out a future, they needed as much manpower as possible. Building a network was not just beneficial—it was essential. And to do that, they had to show sincerity and extend support to smaller bases and shelters.

"We’ll be coming," Grandpa Aldens was the first to speak. Though aged, he had participated in countless operations before, rescue missions, crisis responses, anything that called for steady hands and experience.

This time was no different. He wasn’t the type to blindly throw his life on the line, but he was more than willing to lend his strength where it was needed. More importantly, he saw this as a valuable learning experience for Keith.

But letting that silly boy join on his own? That was out of the question. Someone had to be there to rein him in when he got carried away and forgot his limits.

As for his wife, he wasn’t worried in the slightest. She’d already proven her mettle during the mission Kisha led to retrieve the drums; she’s fiery, fierce, and far from fragile. With more than enough support-type awakened ability users joining, she could stay behind without guilt. They could cover for each other out there.

And as if reading his thoughts, Grandma Aldens gave a quiet nod in agreement.

With the oldest among them already stepping forward, it would be a disgrace if the younger ones didn’t follow suit, wouldn’t it?

One by one, everyone agreed to join; no one backed out. With the team set, Sparrow gave them an hour to return home, inform their families, and gather anything they needed to bring. Meanwhile, he dispatched the STAUs to collect the necessary supplies.

Since the military academy was also sending trainees to join the operation and gain field experience, they pitched in by offering some of their own resources, so Sparrow and the others could carry them without trouble.

To prepare for the trip, the STAU members headed to the cafeteria to retrieve food supplies. Given that one hour outside equated to ten hours inside the military academy, the cafeteria staff, led by Clyde’s mother and sister, prepared extra dishes so everyone could enjoy a hot meal while out in the field.

If they still wanted to cook outside, Grandma Aldens could help with that and use the fresh ingredients to cook. But if time was tight, they could simply eat the hot meals that were already prepared.

That level of care and preparation meant a lot to the group, making the burden of traveling farther from the base just a bit lighter.

Since Clyde didn’t need to go home to inform his family and had very little to prepare aside from his backpack—which he could easily grab later when they left the military academy for the parking area where the vehicles were stationed—he wasn’t in a hurry.
