“We’ve advanced the line to the western outskirts of Branford,” Lucas reported. “Branford’s in our hands now.”

The moment his words landed, the familiar system alert chimed in her head.

Ding!

Mission Update: Territory Expansion accomplished!

Reward unlocked: Super VH100 Anti–Air Defense System!

Original defense grid upgradedto deliver total aerial protection at all ranges!

System synced with system manager, Tessa. She’ll monitor every inch of airspace above the territory!

Theresa grinned. Finally.

She’d been stuck with a glaring weakness for too long. Her radar only tracked movement; UAVs were limited to ground strafes, and missile batteries handled land–based threats. If someone had sent in an air raid back then, she would’ve been finished. That blind spot had already cost

her once.

On the ground, she’d been untouchable before she crossed paths with those three camps. Yet an aerial strike in the apocalypse? That would’ve been a crushing blow, the kind that flipped the whole board in a single move.

Not anymore. That hole in her defenses was gone.

Now, if anyone buzzed her skies, she’d light them up. The ground was fortified, the air secured, and her fleet now prowled the waters.

Land, sea, and sky–her territory was sealed tight.

Her mood shot through the roof. With Branford down and Crestmont next on the list, we’re about to carve our mark into the eastern region.

Once those two cities fall under our banner, Ansford will be wrapped in steel. Inside that shield, people can finally breathe, work, and rebuild without zombies gnawing at their heels.

Tania’s words about “evolution” came back to her. She thought, Humanity is never weak- everything we’ve built matters.

Inside, she glanced at them in the rearview mirror. “So, tell me–who runs your outer camp?”

“Mr. Hershberge,” Lara answered.

Theresa inched closer. “Who’s he?”

“His name’s Herman Hershberge,” Lachlan explained. “Mid–fifties, one of the earliest settlers. He talks with the inner camp more than anyone, so he knows that canyon inside out. People trust him, so he ends up leading us.’

“We all go to him whenever something serious comes up,” Lara chimed in. “He’s fair, usually makes good decisions, but… he’s stubborn. If the rules say no, then no. Sometimes we have to sneak around to get things done.”

Theresa narrowed her eyes. “Such as?”

Both of them tensed up, fingers tugging at their sleeves.

Finally, Lara spoke up, “Like when we wanted to leave. Mr. Hershberge shut us down.

“Our camp is safe–no zombies, no one starving–and he’s determined to keep it that way. Nobody is allowed to leave. He’ll lock them down if outsiders wander in, and won’t let them leave. He once claimed that’s the only way to keep the location a secret.”
