‘Basic security complete.. Basic storage complete… Basic energy complete… Basic agricultural and livestock sustainability complete… Basic combat configuration… camp war dog, one. Completion rate 50%.

You have been awarded one A–Rank Reward!‘

‘Congratulations! Your camp’s security has increased by 100%. You’ve obtained one crossbow turret, 100 quivers of short arrows, an advanced armored car, and 1000 tons of fuel..

The system’s rewards caused Theresa’s camp to undergo another transformation.

The electrified barbed wire and gates were reinforced, now twice as high and thick.

This created an overwhelming sense of security.

Above her bunker, a tower with a crossbow turret rose.

Her domain was now equipped with an additional 1000 tons of fuel and an impressive, armored car.

Theresa immediately brought the armored car out.

The oversized armored car, with its camouflage pattern, gleamed with a cold, imposing steel presence in the sunlight.

Theresa quickly climbed into the car to give it a try.

She had driven military vehicles in her previous life, so she knew how to handle an armored car.

However, she had never driven one this advanced.

The vehicle featured excellent off–road capabilities, enhanced protection, and firepower support. It was equipped with a small–caliber flame cannon, powered by fuel.

The tires, reinforced by the system, were tougher than steel tracks.

They were also sensitive and fast.

The car’s body strength was a hundred times greater than that of a standard armored vehicle.

The body was covered in hidden plates, and inside the cockpit, a one–button system activated an armored. shield that surrounded the entire vehicle.

Theresa could easily drive through a zombie horde in this vehicle.

This was, without a doubt, the most advanced and powerful armored car.

Nothing on the market could compare.

“What a treasure!”

Theresa took the car for a spin, familiarizing herself with all of its functions before reluctantly stepping out of the vehicle.

After exiting, she headed straight for her tower.

Inside her bunker, she had already built a two–story staircase.

Theresa walked up the stairs and entered the crossbow turret, which had been part of the latest system

reward.

Eight long, narrow windows provided perfect sniper spots, covering a radius of one thousand meters around her bunker.

At the center of the tower was a 360–degree rotating crossbow, with ten quivers of short arrows neatly arranged beside it. Each quiver contained one hundred steel–tipped, barbed wooden arrows.

Theresa loaded an arrow onto the crossbow, aiming at a bird flying within her domain.

Whoosh.

The arrow flew through the air.

Thwack.

The bird, perched at the edge of her bunker, immediately fell to the ground.

Theresa hurried with Summer to the location where the bird had fallen.

The bird lay stiff and lifeless, its body pierced through by the short arrow.

“There was barely a sound, and the piercing power is incredible. This is the perfect weapon for the apocalypse.”

Theresa strained to retrieve the barbed arrow.

Since these were sustainable resources, she made sure to collect them carefully to conserve them.

Feeling satisfied, Theresa walked back with Summer.

As she looked at her camp growing stronger, she could not help but think about the system’s reward. That was only the A–level reward.

-If she achieved a higher completion rate, would the rewards be even better?

She then remembered the incomplete part of the requirements.

Her camp’s combat power was only fifty.

This was because she only had one dog, Summer.

Did this mean she did not have enough dogs?

It seemed that she would need to take the opportunity to rescue a few more dogs later.

“Let’s go! Summer, let’s head back and for some food.”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Chapter 14 The Need to Raise More Dogs

Theresa returned to her fully upgraded bunker with Summer.

After they had a hearty meal, Theresa began using the internet.

It was now the third day of the apocalypse.

The internet was still up and running.

After the zombie outbreak, the city’s water supply was quickly compromised. Corpses of countless zombies floated in the large water filtration pool at the water plant, and the water supply was contaminated immediately.

Electricity lasted a little longer, though.

In some smaller cities with underdeveloped power systems, the power cut out as soon as the zombie outbreak hit. In cities with more stable power systems, electricity could last anywhere from one to six months.

Theresa remembered that in her previous life, electricity in Ansford lasted for three months.

Once the power was gone, the internet also disappeared.

By that time, of course, no one was using the internet anymore.

At first, survivors still had some supplies, like water and food. They stayed home, and the only thing they did was use the internet since there was nothing else to do.

After a week, the water and food ran out at home, and no one had the energy to go online anymore.

‘Help! I am trapped in my bedroom. My parents are desperately banging on my door. I have not eaten in three days! I have finished my last bottle of cola. Who will save me?‘

‘Does anyone know the owner of unit A–101 in Radiant Gardens? My girlfriend has been missing for three days. I really want to know how she is doing!‘

‘Waaah! The last bit of water in my house is gone! There are still some snacks left, but no more water! What am I supposed to do without water?‘

‘Didn’t they say there would be a rescue? I have been waiting for three days and there is still no one here!‘

‘End of day three of the apocalypse. The hallways are filled with wailing. The food in the fridge is almost gone. My dad told me to go out and find food for my brother and sister. He said if I do not go, he will throw me out. I am old enough now and need to contribute to the family. My parents are old, and my siblings are young. Please wish me good luck. You can do it, Sunny!‘

Theresa, looking at the overwhelming number of posts flooding the internet, noticed one from a girl named “Sunny Dreamer.”

Theresa clicked on the blog posted by Sunny Dreamer.

Before the apocalypse, Sunny Dreamer had been sharing life tips, and Theresa noticed that her mother had passed away early in Sunny’s life. Her father remarried, and not long after, her stepmother gave birth to a younger brother and sister.

She quickly became an invisible member of the family.

Their family was lucky in the early days of the apocalypse and managed to stay safe at home. However. their food quickly ran out.

At times like these, what else could they do?

Of course, they pushed her out.

It was no surprise that she remained optimistic even after being sold, foolishly going along with it.

Theresa saw that the last post from this girl had been made just five minutes ago and decided to comment on it.

‘First, arm yourself. Wear the thickest and most durable clothes you can find at home. Tape your hands and feet with three layers of tape. Wear a helmet and carry a backpack. Set a route with the nearest convenience store as your target. Do not go anywhere else.

‘Find a shovel or a baseball bat. Use these as weapons. Do not take a plank or a kitchen knife. A kitchen knife cannot cut through zombies. If you try, it will get stuck in them. If you encounter zombies, aim for their heads. Their weakness is the head. Do not fear them. It’s still early. If you overcome your fear, you will defeat them!‘

After typing the final sentence, Theresa posted the comment.
