Chapter 483 Toward the Stars and the Sea

    s

    Theresa wasn’t someone others could just push around. Three camps might think they could box her in. but she wasn’t about to roll over for anyone.

    She still had plenty of trump cards, one of them powerful enough to end everything in one strike. Even so, she had never been reckless. Every move had to count. If she couldn’t guarantee victory, she would rather stay quiet and let others underestimate her.

    Everything in her camp had been built through sweat and sacrifice. The people, the fields, the factories, the walls–it was all hers, carved out piece by piece. She refused to see any of it burned down in a pointless gamble. That was why she’d held back fromshing out. She wanted her enemies to look at Kl Camp and feel that invisible weight pressing on their shoulders until they didn’t even dare to act.

    Now, her mind circled around one thing only. Grow stronger, keep building, and keep developing.

    Since shended, her drive had only sharpened. The second line of defense stood tall. Workers had moved on to building docks andunching ships.

    Spring had arrived in full. The air was warmer, the frost long gone. Out in the fields, crops showed the biggest change. By the closing months of the third year of the apocalypse, the weather had finally started to heal, and harvests were explodingpared to the harsh years before.

    Food was no longer a desperate struggle. Supplies were stacked higher every month. With abundance came new upgrades–grain turning into meat, empty tes turning into meals people once thought were impossible.

    Livestock farms multiplied. Herds and flocks grew ten timesrger. Now, every family could eat meat and eggs every single day. That wasn’t some rumor–it was real life. People’s faces filled out, their bodies strengthened. No one in her camp looked like a starving shadow anymore.

    New arrivals often broke down when they saw the difference. To them, stepping into Theresa’s camp was like wing out of hell and finding paradise. Compared to the Ark Camps, this ce was heaven on earth.

    Theresa’s advantage wasn’t just food. Her Evoloid soldiers had advanced far beyond what others could manage. Once you reached Level i5/i, ordinary gleamstones were practically useless. High–level gleamstones were the only way forward, but those were rare. Most zombies outside barely scraped past Level 2. High- level zombies were like rare treasures.

    Luckily, Theresa’s Evoloids carried a level of purity no one else could match. Graham and others had broken through to Level 4. Lucas and Theron had already hit Level 6. Theresa herself had been sitting at Level 9 for some time, though even draining several bottles of Evoloids each day only pushed her power up in tiny steps. Even so, her team stood far ahead of any other camp.

    While she poured herself into construction, the other camps reeled in disbelief.

    “KI Camp… Is it really that strong?” someone blurted out, struggling to believe the reports.

    News from Magnus painted the full picture, leaving Ark Camps Two and Three dumbstruck.

    Morgan leaned back, a sly smile on his face as he pulled out the photos he’d secretly taken. “I’ve been there myself. These are the shots I got.”

    He spread the pictures across the table–expansive aerial views, close angles of walls and defenses, the sheer scale of it all. The room went dead quiet. Every leader present stared, mouths dry, unable to process what they were seeing.

    Right under their noses, a powerhouse had risen. Her camp now rivaled theirs, maybe even surpassed it.

    Ark Camp Three reyed the memory of Theresa’s earlier words, her act of weakness, her ims of being hounded by zombies. Now it all sounded like a cruel joke.

    Ark Camp Two was shaken even worse. iNo /iiwonder she /iidared /iito /iiwager /ii5 /iimillion /iitons /iof food. iThat /iconfidencees from aplex reality, inot /ian iempty /iibluff/i.

    Their shock turned into cold resolve.

    Magnus‘ voice cut like ice. “We can’t leave K1 Camp standing. Either they bow their heads to us, or they’re crushed.”

    “Exactly. We can’t let them grow another inch,” Ark Camp Two snarled.

    Ark Camp Three’s expression hardened. “Better to kill it now.”

    Morgan listened quietly at the meeting table, the corner of his mouth curling into a slow smile.

    That same day, Theresa stood before the dockyard crowd.

    The battleship towered behind her, its steel hull gleaming under the spring sun. Nearly sixty percent of the zing Sun Alliance’s residents had gathered to witness itsunch. She had given almost everyone the day off, leaving only soldiers at the defense lines and a handful of staff on duty. Today was a day for celebration.

    Theresa walked to the bow of the massive vessel, her voice carrying clearly across the dock. “Today marks theunch of the zing Sun. From this day on, our alliance won’t just look to survive–we’ll set our sights higher. Our future lies in the stars and the sea!”

    The crowd erupted before she even finished. Cheers and apuse thundered through the air, echoing against the ship, rolling over the water, until it felt like the entire camp itself was roaring with pride.
