    Ark Camp Two had be Theresa’s sworn enemy.

    It wasn’t that they were left destitute. They still had over a million tons of food stored away. With barely twenty thousand people in the camp, that amount could feed generations. Their defeat hadn’t doomed them to starvation. But the grudge was set in stone. A blood feud.

    The administrator of Ark Camp Two shut himself away, refusing to look at Theresa.

    By contrast, the administrator of Ark Camp Three greeted her with a beaming smile and overflowing warmth.

    “Ms. Hall, we still owe you ten thousand tons of supplies. Send me your camp’s coordinates and I’ll have people deliver it right to you.”

    Theresa waved him off. “No need. I’ll send my own people to pick it up. Don’t trouble yourself.”

    “How could it be trouble? Honestly, I’d like to visit your camp myself. Things must be tense out there, aren’t they?”

    “Tense doesn’t even begin to cover it. We face sieges every single day,” Theresa said earnestly. “You know how many big cities there are in the eastern region. There are three with poptions over a million just around us. The zombies‘ full evolution is practicallyplete. Every day our camp is surrounded by tens of thousands of evolved zombies. Smaller camps nearby have already been wiped out.

    “If you really want to help, give us more supplies or trade more often. But don’te to our camp–it’s far too dangerous.”

    Her sincerity rang true, and the Ark Camp Three administrator’s expression grew grave. The situation outside was worse than even he had imagined.

    He had known the zombies were evolving, but he hadn’t expected the threat to be so overwhelming. It seemed the Ark Camps had no choice but to hunker down, safeguard humanity’sst sparks of life, and wait for the day when the zombies finally burned out.

    Standing off to the side, Morgan thought to himself: iIf /iiI /iihadn’t /iseen ithe /iitruth /iwith imy /iown eyes, I would have believed every word ishe /ijust isaid/ii. /i

    Theresa sent a team to collect the supplies from Ark Camp Three, and once the loading was done, they prepared to leave.

    “Since you’d rather not have visitors in your camp, then let me give you our share as well,” Morgan said. “We owe you ten thousand tons of supplies. Take it back with you.”

    “That works. I’ll send people to pick it up.”

    “Sending others feels distant. You shoulde with me yourself, personally take it back,” Morgan said with an easy smile.

    Theresa studied him. No matter how she looked, he seemed to be up to no good.

    Morgan’s smile widened. “Our two camps signed a treaty of friendship. Don’t you trust me? If I had any

    hidden agenda, I would’ve exposed your camp’s situation long ago.”

    Theresa raised a brow. “Fine. I’ll go with you.”

    She turned to Lucas. “Come pick me up tonight.”

    “Understood,” Lucas replied with a nod.

    The words weren’t for Lucas so much as for Morgan. She would only stay in his camp for a few hours, and she made sure he knew it. If he tried to keep her by force, Lucas would intervene.

    The treaty might have been signed, but trust was thin. Theresa watched Morgan closely, and he did the same with her. Neither side dared to set foot freely in the other’s camp.

    In this ruined world, keeping a careful distance was the wisest thing to do.

    To Theresa, Morgan’s insistence that she visit his camp smelled of nothing but mischief.

    She boarded the ne with her threepanions. To her surprise, once they were in the air, Morgan didn’t press her further.

    Even when the nended at Ark Camp One, he kept up a polished, aloofposure.

    “I’ve had a meal prepared for you. Care to join us?” he offered.

    “Food can wait. Supplies first.”

    “Of course.”

    With the same cool courtesy, Morgan pressed the elevator button and escorted them down to the lowest level.

    As before, he led Theresa into avish reception hall. At his signal, workers filed in, pushing cartsden with supplies.

    Ten thousand tons.

    Theresa counted the shipment carefully, confirmed it was all there, then called Quentin forward. She took his hand and absorbed the supplies into the domain.

    “His domain is impressive,” Morgan remarked.

    “Of course. You saw it yourselfst time,”

    “Yeah” Morgan smiled faintly. He nced at his watch. “It’s still early. I’ll have food sent up. You shouldn’t leave here hungry.”

    “I’ll pass. I’d rather go upstairs and pay him a visit–it’s been too long since I’ve seen him.”

    Theresa refused without hesitation. It was already four o’clock. Lucas would arrive by six. There was no point in sitting down for a gal

    Rejected again, Morgan showed no sign of offense. He simply rose to his feet. “Very well. I’ll take you

    there.”
