Chapter 225 The Arrival of Zenith Camp

Chapter 225 The Arrival of Zenith Camp

A group of managers from several small camps hurried along behind Declan. Just then, a voice carrying a hint of arrogance broke the tense quiet.

“So, you’re the leader of Spark Camp?“.

Declan, who had been about to leave, turned his head at the sound. Ahead, a distinctly different group was approaching, flanked by a cluster of guards.

At the forefront was a young man in his mid–twenties, with two strikingly beautiful women at his sides.

Beauty was a rare sight in the apocalypse, and these women looked vibrant and well–nourished–obviously thriving in these harsh times.

The entire group radiated an air of haughty nobility, looking down on the small, refugee–like camps surrounding them with undisguised contempt.

“And you are?”

One of the nearby camp leaders recognized them immediately. “Zenith Camp, led by the Kerr family in Branford!”

“Zenith Camp’s here too,” murmured another.

Declan wasn’t familiar with the name. Nearby camp leaders explained.

“Zenith Camp was established by the Kerr family, the old powerhouse in Branford. They used to own huge real estate in Ansford.”

“They set up in Branford’s wealthy district and have a private army of bodyguards and servants.”

“They have plenty of food and supplies. Strong, but they don’t accept any outsiders–just guard their rich neighborhood.”

Declan nodded, finally understanding. These were the pre–apocalypse elite, holding onto their power and privilege.

The young leader of Zenith Camp overheard the conversation, glancing around. “Where are K1 Camp, Ember Camp, and Blazing Sun Camp?”

Declan’s expression tightened slightly “They haven’t arrived yet. I’m handling the reception

“Then we’ll wait for them. You can get back to your work,” the young man said with a dismissive glance, barely sparing Declan a second look, dripping with arrogance.

Frowning, Declan cast a sharp glance at the group before leading the small camp leaders inside.

No sooner had he stepped through the door than a convoy of white vehicles rolled up.

Hope Camp had arrived.

Since arriving at Spark Camp, Bennie had been quietly observing.

They can’t farm either, he thought. The drought wasn’t unique to any camp–Spark Camp’s crops had also withered.

But when Bennic stepped inside the village and saw the healthy residents, his gaze grew serious.

He wanted to visit Theresa’s camp, curious about her strength.

Unfortunately, Theresa denied him the chance.

All he could see was the smallest camp in the Blazing Sun Alliance.

He’d assumed Spark Camp barely scraped by, but inside, elders were healthy, curing meats in the sun, cooking dried vegetables.

Bennie pondered deeply.

How could this camp survive so well?

His conclusion was clear.

Theresa was investing heavily in the alliance.

She was dedicating a tremendous amount of resources to strengthen it.

She was definitely powerful–her camp couldn’t be much worse off than Spark Camp.

He couldn’t have guessed how far off that was.

They were worlds apart.

While Spark Camp ate dried vegetables and cured meats, Theresa’s camp enjoyed fresh vegetables and meats..

Theresa wasn’t just contributing a lot–her camp exported surplus food without any strain.

Bennie quietly calculated Theresa’s strength

The convoy stopped.

Bennie stepped down, his face cold as ice, intending to find Declan, the Spark Camp leader.

But before he could move, a group blocked his path.

“Mr. Green from Hope Camp, right?

Bennie looked up sharply at the well–dressed man.

“I’m Jasper Kerr from Zenith Camp. My father is Ezekiel Kerr. You’ve met him before; he approved many of your projects,” Jasper said confidently.

Bennie gave him a frosty look and replied with two words: “Forgotten that.”

Jasper was speechless.

In terms of family background, Jasper didn’t hold a candle to Bennie.

If Jasper’s family was just wealthy aristocrats, Bennie’s was royalty.

Bennie’s father was the CEO of Dawn Industries, and his mother was a high–ranking politician.

Before the apocalypse, the Kerr family begged Dawn Industries to move in, not the other way around.

Bennie didn’t even bother acknowledging him, scanning the area instead.

“Where’s Declan from Spark Camp?”

Jasper answered quickly, “He went inside with the others.”

Without another word, Bennie strode into the camp.
