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

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

Theresa grinned. iFinally/i.

She’d been stuck with a ring weakness for too long. Her radar only tracked movement; UAVs were limited to ground strafes, and missile batteries handlednd–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. iWith /iiBranford /iidown /iiand /iiCrestmont /iinext /iion /iithe /iilist/i, iwe’re /iiabout /iito /iicarve /iiour /iimark /iiinto /iithe /iieastern /iiregion/ii. /ifn440e Get full chapters from fι?dnοvel/fn440e

Inside, she nced at them in the rearview mirror. “So, tell me–who runs your outer bcamp/b?b” /b

“Mr. Hershberge,” Lara answered.

Theresa inched closer. “Who’s he?”

“His name’s Herman Hershberge,” L exined. “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 seriouses 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 imed that’s the only way to keep the location a secret.”
