All the fresh vegetables, meatballs, sliced fish, chicken, and pork were neatly arranged around the pot stew bubbling at the center of the table. A huge tray of sweet glazed pork ribs, still steaming, added an irresistible aroma to the room.

“You did great. Drinks are over there–grab whatever you like!”

Theresa rewarded her people generously, a bright smile on her face.

When it came to her own, Theresa had always been endlessly generous. If she had something, her people would never go without.

Outside, thick snowflakes the size of feathers drifted down in a silent storm. Inside, the heat from the bubbling stew and the laughter around the table created a cozy haven from the apocalypse.

Meanwhile, in other camps…

A brutal cold front had swept across the entire Eastern region overnight.

Blizzards descended suddenly, with no time to prepare.

Camps that had only just begun to recover from the chaos of the apocalypse were hit hard. Supplies were already scarce–winter gear was practically nonexistent. The cold didn’t just arrive; it invaded, unforgiving and relentless.

It turned already difficult survival into a frozen nightmare.

Even the larger camps–those that had joined Kl Camp in raiding the old provision depot–were struggling under the weight of this cold snap.

At that same moment, in Kl Camp…

Lucas, who was reviewing the camp’s latest reports, received a satellite call.

“Mr. Keaton, hello. This is Bennie Green from Hope Camp,” said the voice on the line.

“What is it?” Lucas asked, voice cool and measured.

“I heard you got your hands on some data and equipment from the United Pharma Research Center, correct?”

“What’s your point?”

“Well,” Bennie continued, “United Pharma Research Center was a subsidiary of my company–Dawn Industries. Whatever data they had, I have too. In fact, I’ve got even more research related to gleamstones.”

“You’ve probably already extracted Evoloid, right?” Bennie pressed on. “And I’m guessing you’ve discovered the high levels of impurities in your version–and the nasty side effects?”

Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Go on.”

Bennie felt like the stage was set. His tone grew more confident. “I would like to make a deal. Our version

of Evoloid has half the impurities and thirty percent fewer side effects.”

He paused for effect before making the offer: “You give us one hundred tons of food and a thousand sets of winter gear, and we’ll give you one hundred doses of our Evoloid.”

He sounded certain. In his mind. Lucas had no reason to refuse.

After all, their Evoloid was top–tier–world–leading, even. Twice the purity. Thirty percent fewer side effects. One ton of food per dose might seem steep, but he knew their product was worth it.

He expected silence. Maybe awe.

Instead, he heard a quiet chuckle from the other end of the line.

“Mr. Keaton, what’s funny? Are you hesitating over the price?” Bennie asked, still riding high on his confidence. “You have to understand–Hope Camp’s tech is cutting–edge. Our Evoloid is worth every bit of that trade.”

Lucas‘ chuckle deepened. “Then you must not have heard about Blazing Sun Camp’s Evoloid.”

“B–Blazing Sun Camp? They’re working on Evoloid, too?” Bennie’s certainty cracked.

“They are,” Lucas said. “Ms. Hall supplied me with a version that has zero impurities, no side effects, and the price–well, it’s far lower than yours.”

Bennie’s breath caught. What? No impurities? No side effects? And cheaper? He was speechless.

Back in Blazing Sun Camp…

Theresa had just finished her hot, comforting stew when she was about to ask Tessa to send Lucas a message–she needed more gleamstones–when a new message came in instead.

“My dear Theresa, you have a new message–from your dear Lucas,” Tessa’s cheerful voice announced.

“Answer it,” Theresa said, sipping her tea.

“Ms. Hall,” came Lucas‘ familiar voice. “I’d like to request another batch of Evoloid. Same price as before, if that’s alright?”

Theresa smiled. Now that’s how it should be.

“Of course, Lucas. But I want something in return–get me more gleamstones from mental manipulation- type zombies. If you can get them, I’ll give you ten doses of Evoloid for each one.”

She needed a large amount of those gleamstones, especially the mental manipulation ones. But her camp was too small–every member she sent out barely made a dent in the supply she needed.

But the other camps had people. Lots of them.

So, Theresa used trade to outsource the dirty work. K1 Camp became her unofficial zombie–hunting

contractor.

Her own camp? She would focus on production and expansion.

Zombic harvesting? That was Kl Camp’s new job.

She was building her empire–quietly, cleverly and she was going to win this apocalyptic game.

Big time.
