**TITLE: Kept Woman 693**
**CONTENT: The Apocalyptic Queen Theresa**

**Chapter 693: Refusing to Let Go**

Liana dashed away from the group of students, her heart pounding with determination as she shouted at Theresa, “We’ve all made our decision! We will stand by the Alliance, no matter what! Even if you send us underground, we’ll find a way back! Hiding away isn’t survival for us!” Her voice rang with a fierce conviction that echoed in the dimly lit bunker.

Yuki, not far behind, hurried after her, urgency in her steps. “Theresa, we can all fight zombies! Don’t treat us like we’re just helpless kids!” Her words were filled with a mix of frustration and resolve, a plea for recognition of their capabilities.

Theresa looked at the two teenagers who had sprinted to the edge of her bunker, a faint smile breaking across her face. In that moment, she recognized the bravery radiating from them. The kids of her Alliance possessed a courage that Bennie had never demonstrated, a fire that burned brightly even in the face of despair.

With a gentle wave of her hand, she motioned for Liana and Yuki to step back.

As they crossed the threshold of the bunker’s protective perimeter, they bumped into James, who was approaching with an air of confidence.

“Liana,” he called out, his voice steady, a stark contrast to the chaos surrounding them.

James had grown taller, his combat uniform fitting him perfectly, exuding an aura of readiness and strength. Theresa recalled the first time she had taken him in from Sage, a timid boy who had clung to her side, too young and frail to accompany her on missions. She had made the difficult decision to send him to the barracks to train, wanting him to grow strong enough to survive in this harsh new world.

Now, two years later, he was almost unrecognizable. The boyish softness had been replaced by sharp angles of determination, his face a mask of resilience. He no longer resembled the scrawny child who had once struggled under Sage’s control; he had transformed into a striking young man, embodying the strength he had fought so hard to attain.

“James,” Liana exclaimed, rushing toward him with a bright smile.

“How did it go?” he asked, concern flickering in his eyes.

“Ms. Hall said no,” she replied, disappointment lacing her tone.

“If she said no, then that’s final,” James replied, ruffling her hair affectionately. “You’re supposed to be safe. You should leave.”

Liana’s response was immediate and resolute. “No! Don’t treat us like children. We’re not afraid of zombies!” The defiance in her voice was unmistakable, a testament to her spirit.

“This isn’t the time for defiance,” James warned, his brow furrowing with concern.

“It’s too late. My classmates and I have already made our decision. We’ll stick with you all to the very end.” Her voice was unwavering, filled with a fierce loyalty that left no room for doubt.

“Yuki…”

At that moment, David and his wife rushed over, urgency driving their steps.

“Yuki! It’s time to go!” David shouted, his voice edged with panic.

“Dad! Mom! I’m here!” Yuki called back, her heart racing.

“What are you doing here?” he demanded, his eyes wide with worry.
