Chapter 348 Secrets of the Ark Project

When Theresa walked inside, she was greeted by a lavish banquet spread across the table.

This was nothing like the meals they had at K1 Camp.

There was roast chicken, braised pork, ribs, steamed fish, and a variety of fresh vegetables.

After everyone sat down and the meal reached its lively halfway point, Xavier, already flushed from wine, grasped Theresa’s thumb tightly.

“Tessa, you are truly amazing! You’ve surprised me over and over. Without you, I can’t even imagine what things would be li

ke now.”

“Old Mr. Keaton, you flatter me. Theresa replied lightly.

“Not at all!” Xavier waved a hand, his voice full of conviction. “Every step you’ve taken has earned my admiration. First, you released Evoloid at an extremely low price, solving the critical problem of powering up ability users. Then, you led everyone to retake the city, clearing the suburbs all the way to the downtown core.

The more he spoke, the more animated he became. “Every single thing you’ve done, I’ve seen it all. I am not exaggerating when I say that without you, the entire eastern region would have faced total extinction!”

Theresa smiled faintly and clinked her glass with his. “Old Mr. Keaton, your grandson is also very capable. Even without me, he could’ve held the line.”

She was being modest, but she also believed this to some extent. In her previous life, Lucas had died early.

However, Xavier shook his head solemnly. “That’s not what I mean. Do you know the current situation in other regions?”

Other regions?

with interest.

She had always lived in the castern region. Due to the limited range of radio signals, the furthest broadcast they could receive was from the Ember Camp.

Beyond that, there was no information at all.

When she was reborn, she had considered leaving the eastern region to hide in a remote, sparsely populated area. But she had no idea what other regions were like. In her previous life, she had lived in the eastern region for ten years, accumulating a wealth of experience and information. She knew nothing about how other areas had fared after the apocalypse.

She could only speculate based on pre–apocalypse geography, and in this new life, she didn’t dare ri single wrong bet.

Hence, she had chosen to stay put, using her familiar knowledge to rebuild her foundation.

Now, hearing Xavier mention other regions, her curiosity surged,

“Where?” she asked.

Xavier’s drunken eyes suddenly sharpened with clarity. He looked at Theresa and said, “It’s time you knew, Before the zombie virus outbreak, the authorities had already discovered the virus. At the earliest stage, the nation prepared a contingency plan, implementing top–level infectious disease protocols for nationwide protection. Unfortunately, the virus was far deadlier than anything they’d seen before. Before a full–scale defense could even roll out, it erupted prematurely. And what’s worse, this virus attacks indiscriminately. Even central command, with its strictest protections, was breached. If central command had held, the country would not have fallen.”

Theresa and Tania both nodded.

That was exactly how it was.

This wasn’t a matter any individual could control.

Even if the nation detected the threat early and prepared, the collapse was inevitable..

Xavier continued, “Aside from the national protection plan, there was another initiative–the Ark Project.”

Theresa’s eyes widened in shock.

He nodded gravely. “In the western and northern regions, the state built three underground cities before the apocalypse. They are known as Ark Camp One, Ark Camp Two, and Ark Camp Three. Huge quantities of resources were transported there, such as energy, food, research equipment, weapons, aircraft, and battle mechs. All to ensure that, when the crisis came, humanity could weather the stor

Theresa’s brows furrowed. “Then why have we never heard of them?”

“It’s because central command fell, Xavier said, his expression ugly.

Theresa instantly understood.

At the beginning of the zombie outbreak, the nation broadcast calls for survivors to wait for rescue.

That rescue was supposed to come from the three Ark Camps.

But once central command was gone, those rescue missions never happened.

The Ark Camps became isolated fortresses.

Xavier’s face grew darker. “Our eastern military district waited a long time. All three Ark Camps remained silent. None of them initiated rescue operations for the general populace. In the end, I couldn’t wait any longer. That’s why we built KI Camp in the eastern region and organized our survival and rescue.”

He snorted coldly. “They only sent helicopters to extract the specific personnel they wanted. As of now, across the entire country, aside from the three Ark Camps and our Blazing Sun Alliance, every other region is a red zone.”
