After Kisha spent some time observing, she and Duke went to the back of the Supply Center, where workers were still busy with construction.

The main renovations were complete, leaving only minor adjustments to finish by the next day.

The workers had decided to use the remaining daylight to dig the foundation for the Supply Center’s warehouse.

They planned to complete this task before heading home, where warm meals prepared by their families awaited them. This way, they could rest and enjoy their evening without wasting any time.

Ding!

As she walked with Duke through the dimly lit back street, Kisha received a new system notification. Her eyes narrowed into crescent-shaped slits in delight, and a wide smile spread across her face.

[Congratulations on Completing the A Class Mission "Planting and Harvesting"]

[You have received 70,000 points]

...

After a flurry of system notifications rang in, each announcing a new reward, Kisha promptly checked her status window.

She noticed her stats had increased, even if only by a single point.

Despite the modest gain, it was equivalent to the progress of a full day’s worth of training, making it a significant achievement.

....

Upon reviewing her status window, Kisha noticed not only the increase in her stats but also something new: a skill called "Perception Level 0" that hadn’t been there the last time she checked. She’s puzzled over how she had acquired this skill, given that she hadn’t undertaken any significant actions recently that would warrant its creation.

It seemed to appear out of nowhere like a mushroom suddenly sprouting up.

However, Kisha recognized the significance of this skill. She recalled that it was notoriously difficult to obtain and had seen something similar in Sparrow’s status window.

’Have I done something significant recently?’ she wondered, placing her fingers on her chin in deep contemplation.

Her eyes lit up as the word "significant" replayed in her mind. She recalled the one-on-one battle she had with a Level 1 zombie just yesterday—an opponent that had given her considerable trouble. During that intense fight, she remembered how time seemed to slow down, and she was able to anticipate the zombie’s moves with remarkable precision.

This heightened awareness had allowed her to lock the zombie in position without sustaining serious injuries.

Kisha couldn’t help but giggle, drawing Duke’s attention.

When he looked at her, she met his gaze with eyes as clear and serene as a still lake, brimming with unspoken joy.

She seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself, and Duke, not wanting to spoil her mood, gently patted the top of her head as they strolled around the base before heading home.

After basking in her recent success, Kisha felt a renewed surge of confidence and determination to tackle her missions.

Having experienced the value of the rewards firsthand, she was excited about the potential future benefits.

Eager to share her appreciation, she decided to reward Marcus for his invaluable assistance in completing the mission.

His contribution had been instrumental in achieving the results ahead of schedule, and Kisha felt it was only right to acknowledge his hard work and dedication.

At the same time, Kisha found herself less constrained by points, having just earned an additional 70,000. She planned to use these points to upgrade her territory pack, aiming to expand the space available for livestock.

But for now, Kisha decided it might be best to keep the points in reserve for emergencies. Instead, she considered how to best show her appreciation to Marcus. Should she buy him something with her mall points? She wasn’t sure what he would like, so she resolved to ask him directly later on.

Before heading home, Kisha made a brief stop at the medical facility for a final check.

Upon arrival, she noticed that more patients had been moved to isolation because the medical staff were unsure if it was safe to group them together to save space.

Fortunately, Kisha was able to conduct a thorough review and provide confirmation.

On the bright side, there were still more promising talents being sent to the medical facility.

This time, most of the new patients were soldiers, new warriors, and a few medical staff. Although the numbers weren’t as high as before, the influx was still significant. As a result, there were some patients who had to be placed in the hallway due to the limited space.

The patients who were admitted yesterday had all awakened and were now being escorted by the soldiers stationed at the medical facility to Sparrow and Vulture. Kisha inferred that the two would have been busy assisting these newly awakened individuals by tonight.

She knew Sparrow and Vulture were overwhelmed with their duties but had not complained, so she decided to reward them for their hard work as well.

After assisting with the medical facility, it was already quite dark, and she and Duke headed home.

Everyone was there waiting, except for Sparrow and Vulture, who were still busy.

Gant had already gone to the square to deliver food to them.

Additionally, those who were still training had their meals sent from the base’s supply, a gesture approved by Aston as compensation for their overtime.

Marcus, Mike, and Daisy had finished cooking for everyone and had already set all the dishes on the table. As a result, everyone began gathering around the dining table, looking exhausted and haggard from their long day.

Everyone seemed to be working hard on completing the structures within their respective departments.

Mrs. Winters informed Kisha that she had already recruited 20 seamstresses and was continuing to hire more.

The hired seamstresses were already undergoing training, and the uniform designs were finished, awaiting Kisha’s approval.

Once Kisha reviewed and approved the design, the seamstresses would become familiar with it. Additionally, they were waiting for Kisha to finalize and design the emblem to be sewn onto the uniforms.

On the Patriarchs’ side, they have completed drafting a list of straightforward rules for the base. The rules are designed to be simple and easily understandable to ensure compliance. They have also established corresponding punishments for violations.

While these initial rules focus on securing the base and minimizing troublemakers, they plan to delve deeper into creating more comprehensive laws to safeguard the interests of all inhabitants.

Aston has initiated the cafeteria project using tents for the time being, as no suitable building is yet available and the Supply Center is still under construction. Additionally, Aston and Mr. Winters are continuing discussions about the construction of the Wall.

When Aston mentioned the Wall construction, Kisha paused mid-bite, suddenly recalling that she had assigned Aston to work with Mr. Winters on it.

"Oh, about the Wall construction—I’ll be taking over that project starting tomorrow.

I realize both departments are currently occupied with supply distribution and defense management.

The Wall needs to be completed as soon as possible for the base’s safety, and I already have a plan to address it," Kisha announced. Her decision was met with both surprise and shock.
