The Undead and Unstoppable Apocalyptic Queen novel Chapter 356

Chapter 856 The Ones Who Walked Away

Everyone nodded furiously, like bobbleheads,

“And just so we’re clear–your lives aren’t our responsibility. If your so–called lealers haven’t paid to save you, then whether you live or die is none of our business

More frantic nodding followed,

They were so obedient it was almost laughable.

Every pair of eyes stared at the Ki group, glittering with admiration–and a good dose of fear.

Who would dare mess with them now?

Even Yuki had been slapped and locked out without hesitation. Who had the guts to cross a woman like

that?

Everyone instantly fell in line.

In the crowd, Harry’s eyes widened slightly, barely able to contain his excitement.

Theresa had only needed to assert herself once, and the entire

group submitted.

Without wasting another second, she turned to Lucas.

“We’re moving”

Lucas nodded, taking the lead as they headed into the bunker.

Back outside, Yuki pounded on the sealed door with both fists.

“Open the dmn door!

“Hurry up! There are zombies out here!”

The Ark One residents hesitated, exchanging uneasy looks.

“What should we do about her?”

“She’s right–there are zombies coming!”

“Maybe we should let her in…”

They debated among themselves until a few of the girls stepped forward to unlock the door.

After all, her father was Timothy Cooper, the first–floor administrator.

Theresa might not be afraid of him–but they were.

Just as one girl turned to open the door manually, a voice like ice sliced through the air,

“Don’t.”

It was Harry,

He stood among the crowd, eyes cold, posture rigid.

“But Harry-

“Stop wasting your time. Don’t fall behind,” he said flatly. “No one’s going to protect you if you do

His words struck like a slap.

One person took the lead, pretending not to see Yuki or hear her screams. The rest followed, heads low, falling into step behind him.

Soon, everyone had gone–except Harry

Outside, Yuki watched them abandon her.

“You b*stards! You heartless, filthy b’stards!

“Don’t go! Come back! You’re not allowed to leave me

here!!

But the zombies had already caught her scent. Zombies began pouring in, drawn by her screams. One by one, they charged at the lone girl outside the bunker.

“Raaagh!”

Harry, now streaked with fresh blood, rejoined the group as the last to catch up.

The others took one look at him and the new crimson stains on his clothes, and all fell silent

William came up beside him, speaking low. “Aren’t you afraid? When this is over, her dad might come looking for you.”

He glanced sideways. His eyes were darker now, sharp, hard, filled with something far more dangerous. than anger. “That b*stard? He can die right along with her.”

William’s heart stuttered in his chest.

They were all just regular people once–soft, harmless. They’ve never even held a knife before.

Ark One had housed over forty thousand people. Five thousand had been military from the start. Another ten thousand were flown in by helicopter. The rest were scattered civilians–locals and tourists stranded on the plains.

When the virus outbreak hit, it spread slowly here. The land was vast, the population sparse. If you ran, you could possibly outrun i

Eventually, word spread about a massive camp, and everyone fled toward it.

Harry.

William, and the others/were among those lucky enough to arrive amidst the chaos.

Before all this, they were just coders. Office workers. Nobody special.

Once inside Ark One, they were: assigned to the bottom levels–first and second floors.

Chapter 356 The Ones Who Walked Away

Manual labor Grunt work.

They were the lowest of the low. Eating scraps. Sleeping in filth. Doing 99% of the work for almost no recognition

Ark One wasn’t a sanctuary. It was a pyramid–where the higher your floor, the higher your states. Each level controlled the one below it. Each administrator existed to exploit, not protect.

Display any disobedience? You were thrown out. Left to die.

This wasn’t the future of humanity. It was paradise for the selected few.

Even someone like Yuki Cooper, who had no real skill or merit, could trample over all of them simply because of her father’s position.

William and the others had long resented the

system.

But they had been beaten down too long. They didn’t know how to resist. Didn’t believe they could. They had accepted it as fate.

Now, seeing the blood in Harry’s eyes, he felt a chill he couldn’t explain.

Harry wasn’t the same anymore.

Without another word, Harry quickened his pace, falling in behind Theresa’s group.

He followed closely, eyes forward.

Theresa walked at the center of their formation.
