My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 986

Chapter 986: Chapter 984 Abby And Melody

Fortunately, Mr. Winters was overseeing the market stalls, the Supply Center, and most of the financial management. That allowed Tristan to focus on safeguarding the treasury and maintaining overall stability.

"Alright, everyone, gather up! We’re doing a roll call for the supply run!"

Eagle clapped his hands sharply, not giving the six newcomers a chance to study the terrain or even figure out where they were in the hidden base. The sudden command snapped the atmosphere into order.

Before long, Dracon and his team lined up, followed by Gavel and several unfamiliar faces. Behind the rows of tall men, Melody quietly slipped in and hid herself among them, careful not to draw attention.

"You all know how this works," Eagle said as he paced in front of the line, his gaze sharp and unforgiving. "Our base runs supply missions regularly to keep the warehouse stocked. Those who don’t pull their weight here shouldn’t expect free meals."

He stopped and swept his eyes across everyone. "I expect each of you to give it everything you’ve got, and to come back alive."

"Sir, yes, sir!" the group responded in unison.

"Good. I’m glad you understand. Now, let’s go over the mission objectives." Eagle paused, then straightened, positioning himself squarely in front of the group. The casual air vanished instantly. "First, introductions. Six new members will be joining this operation. Among them are two Space-Type Awakened Ability Users."

A subtle stir rippled through the line. "These two are critical to the mission," Eagle continued, his tone firm. "Working together, they can store supplies equivalent to an entire warehouse. That alone makes this operation possible." He let that sink in before going on. "As Space-Type Awakened Ability Users, they are not frontline combatants. You should already understand what that means; we covered this during your crash course on post-apocalypse ability classifications and other topics."

Eagle’s gaze hardened. "They will remain at the center of the formation at all times. Your priority is their safety. No exceptions."

He emphasized each word. "Protect them at all costs. Treat them like treasure."

"As for the remaining four," Eagle continued, his voice steady but firm, "they are warriors from a major base we are officially affiliated with."

His gaze swept across the group. "Most of the supplies you’ve been living on came from their side, whether you realize it or not. Because of that support, we will not freeload, nor will we let them carry us while we sit comfortably behind their backs."

He paused briefly, then clarified coldly. "Let me make one thing clear: everything we’ve gathered so far has not been sent back to their base. No one here is being exploited. We’re stockpiling because this apocalypse isn’t ending anytime soon, and survival favors those who prepare early."

The weight of his words settled heavily. "These four are offensive-type Awakened Ability Users. Show them proper respect." Eagle’s eyes narrowed. "They’re here to gain real combat experience. That means you do not treat them like disposable shields, and you do not expect them to perform miracles just because they’re awakened."

His tone dropped, icy and absolute. "Anyone who pushes them recklessly into danger, treats them like expendable tools, or pulls any underhanded stunt outside will be immediately expelled from this base."

Silence followed. "Do I make myself clear?"

"Understood, sir!"

"Good. I won’t have you fully introduce yourselves one by one; you can do that on the way out. For now, just state your name and your abilities: what you can do, and where you’re most effective. Everyone here needs to know who to go to when issues arise, and it will also help us determine who belongs on the vanguard and who should cover the rear."

Eagle paused briefly before continuing. "We don’t do this regularly during supply runs. But since most of you are new to this base, we need a clear understanding of your strengths and limitations so we can assign you to the appropriate roles and responsibilities."
