Since Olivia was indeed pregnant… that meant her body's Spirit Energy circulation had already shifted to support another life. That kind of state would naturally weaken her resistance, especially against psychic or sonic-type assaults. It was one thing that she learned in her alchemy books.

"Damn it…" Anna muttered as she failed to consider this before the event...

"That explains why the others weren't affected as badly. Her energy flow must've fluctuated the moment that scream hit…"

Without wasting another second, she sent a message to Shane.

[ Anna: Commander Shane, I've got a medical emergency. Olivia, the healer from the infirmary, is showing severe aftereffects from Zombie Lord Bell's sonic attack. She's… also pregnant. With my diagnosis, her condition makes her more vulnerable to residual frequency damage. ]

There was a pause, then Shane's reply came through almost instantly.

[ Shane: …Pregnant? Understood. I'll have her transferred immediately. Send her and all weaker survivors to the Evacuation Shelter. I'll deploy one of the Sculptures there for protection. ]

Shane was actually surprised, as he thought that the first one to be pregnant was the elf. It seemed that someone got to it first.

Anyway, he couldn't help but wonder if he knew the father.

Anna let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you…" She muttered after seeing the reply.

Soon, they moved quickly as they transported Olivia to another area.

Anna guided them toward the lower sector where the Evacuation Shelter was located. It was built deep underground, protected by multiple layers of energy barriers.

When they arrived, a team of Warden Units scanned their Identity Tokens before letting them through.

The shelter's interior was calm compared to the chaos above. Rows of bunks, Barrier generators, and even purification talismans from Aya filled the walls.

Several civilians, the elderly, and weaker survivors were already resting there, guarded by a few Warden Units.

Anna carefully oversaw Olivia's transfer to one of the isolation rooms at the back. The room was filled with gentle Spirit Energy, and it should help stabilize Olivia's condition.

"Keep monitoring her Spirit Energy circulation," Anna said to the attending medic. "If there's any sign of fluctuation or pain, call me immediately."

The medic saluted. "Understood, Doctor."

Anna then sent a message to Shane.

[ Anna: Commander Shane, Olivia has been transferred safely. Evacuation Shelter secured. You can deploy the Sculpture when ready. ]

[ Shane: Good. Warden Units are en route. ETA, three minutes. The Sculpture will be placed near the shelter's main hall for maximum coverage. ]

Just like what he said, it didn't take that long before the Warden Units arrived, carrying the sealed crate that contained the Sculpture.

The Warden Units carefully set the crate down in the middle of the evacuation shelter's main hall.

Thud!

Soon, the wrapping was removed and the sculpture was revealed.

It was a beautifully crafted relic about two meters tall, made from bones, wood, and some stones that were probably made of gems, spirit stones, or even mana crystals…

Olivia, who had been resting inside the isolation room, weakly opened her eyes as the strange energy filled the shelter.

"Beautiful…" She muttered.

"It feels good. Just what kind of effect is this…" Anna muttered as she checked the item.

[ Sculpture of the Silent Resonance ( Epic ): A relic sculpted from the bones of a Giant Zombie and enchanted wood branches. It was refined with Elven Magic. The artifact harmonizes with nearby Spirit Energy, granting immunity to sonic interference, confusion, and other mental assaults. ]

[ Effect Range: 300 meters ]

[ Passive Effect: Spirit Calm - Regulates internal Spirit Energy circulation, reducing fluctuation and strain for nearby allies. ]

As the Warden Unit left the sculpture, the sculpture's effect became more obvious…

Olivia blinked in surprise. The dizziness that had been plaguing her moments ago began to fade away. Her breathing eased, and since that dreadful scream from the Zombie Lord, she could feel her Spirit Energy flow stabilize again.

Anna, who stood nearby, noticed it immediately. "The Sculpture's working perfectly."

The evacuation shelter's atmosphere also changed.

Those who were worried looked very calm. The nervous civilians began to relax as if the tension had been washed away by the Sculpture's effects.

***

Soon, Shane received a report about the situation within the evacuation shelter.

"The effect's more potent than expected… Just like the prototype Victor and Adrian presented…" He muttered to himself.

"Ahhh…"

Now that he thought about those two, he recalled that he had personally assigned another project to the two master Sculptors, Victor Mors and Adrian…

However, they were both stationed in the New Genesis Shelter.

They were unlike ordinary artisans. One specialized in sculpting through bone and crystal, while the other worked through wood and other softer materials. Together, they had created various sculptures that had incredible effects.

That's why Shane trusted no one else with the task.

Without hesitation, he opened his private chat.

[ Shane: Jillian, I want you to contact Victor and Adrian immediately. I need a full update on the progress of their work with the World Tree branches. I need to know the number of sculptures they made so we can probably distribute them. ]

[ Jillian: Understood, Commander. I heard about it. They're sculptures for Spirit Defense and some with the Purification powers, right?]

[ Shane: That's right… The next Red Night wave won't be merciful. It would be great to have additional defense. ]

[ Jillian: Copy that. I'll have the two report their current inventory and production rate in a minute. ]

[ Shane: Good. We'll be needing mass deployment soon. If they need something, just assist them. Arial should be able to help. ]

[ Jillian: I'll relay your orders right away. ]

The call ended, but Shane remained silent for a while…

He had given a total of 15 World Tree Branches to the two Sculptors.

Now, he was hoping that the sculptures they had created would have a significant effect…

"Victor, Adrian… don't let me down," Shane murmured.

The first three hours of the Red Night Event were already brutal, and they still had twenty-one more to endure. It would definitely not be easy.

He could only hope that the sculptures could truly ease a bit of their burden...
