Chapter 271 The Cost of a Good Start

Chapter 271 The Cost of a Good Start

Surviving the apocalypse was like taking a test.

From the moment a regular camp was set up and the location picked, the final score was already being decided

Camps in bad spots with weak people didn’t last long. Someone like Theresa, who had set up in the middle of nowhere from the start, had basically written a perfect test.

That’s why her camp had never dealt with a zombie wave or any major human attacks.

Location really mattered. Camps like KI Camp and Ember Camp were also built in out–of–the–way places.

Almost all the camps that survived had picked good spots.

The reason people said Sage’s camp had a big problem was that it was built right in the middle of a city.

It was like starting a test with half the answers already missing.

Still, he had a bit of an edge–his location made it easy to get supplies, almost like cheating.

He could stock up without much trouble, unlike everyone else.

But all those resources Sage had now would come back to bite him later, twice as hard.

Back in her past life, Theresa had already looked into how things would end for Sage’s Dawnwatch Camp.

In the end, she could only say that the gifts of fate always came with a price tag from the start.

It wasn’t going to last.

“Sage actually did pretty well. Theron said as he looked at the model, sounding impressed.

“He broke out of the city center and turned things around. He’s strong.” Lucas added.

While they were both praising him, Theresa said, “They won’t last more than five years.”

“They did rise up with some skill and the right environment, but their luck won’t last. Once the zombies fully evolve and they’re still stuck in the city, they’ll be trapped. At best, they might make it five years.”

After she said that, Bennie looked at her differently.

He was shocked all over again.

What she said matched exactly what his computer had calculated.

Theresa was scary

ary smart–her brain worked almost like his machine.

Is she a prophet?

“Ms. Hall, can I come hang out at your place more often?” Bennie asked, eyes lighting up.

Theresa turned to look at him. “Why?”

“I just really want to talk with you more. Every time I hear you speak, I learn something.”

Bennie pretty much had the words “worship” and “prophet” written across his forehead,

Theresa didn’t even know what to say.

“Alright, alright, knock it off. Just get to the point.” Theron said, clearly a little creeped cut.

“Ms. Hall is right,” Bennie said. “Our supercomputer ran simulations all night and came to the same conclusion. At this rate, Sage’s camp will grow fast for the first two years, but by year three, it start going downhill. They won’t last more than five years.

After that, Lucas and Theron looked over at Theresa.

They both gave her a thumbs–up.

Therria, you nailed it.

“But that’s not the main reason I came,” Bennie went on as he pulled up another screen. “Sage got in touch with us. He’s taken control of an entire district, but when he found out we’ve taken three, he was shocked. After asking for the full story, he said he wants to work with us.”

Theresa raised an eyebrow. “What kind of partnership?”

“He wants us to help him. He’ll break through from the inside, and we break through from the outside. Together, we take down Crestmont and split the supplies evenly.”

Theresa thought for a second. “Let’s wait until we’ve taken Ansford first.”

“There’s no time,” Bennie said.

“My model shows this year is our best shot. The zombies are evolving way too fast. If we wait another year. Crestmont will be ten to twenty times harder to take. Pretty much impossible.”

Theresa went quiet.

Bennie had a point. There really wasn’t enough time.

They were already in year two of the apocalypse. At the pace they were going in Ansford, those last two districts would take a full year to clear,

If she waited until Ansford was done before moving on to Crestmont, it’d be year three.

By then, the zombies would be fully evolved, and fighting them would be next to impossible.

But still….

“There’s one more thing. Bennie said, shrinking the model and showing the situation in Branford.

“Ms. Hall, Branford’s completely fallen. Huge zombie swarms are hitting the smaller camps nearby, Just this past week, seven camps were wiped out”

Only a few white dots were left around Branford.

“All those remaining
