When they reached the main gate, the massive doors groaned as they lifted.

Theresa’s car rolled to a stop. A tall, powerfully built man in combat gear stood outside the passenger door, rifle in hand.

“Theresa, you’re back.”

“Yeah.”

“Well, now, looks like you brought in quite a haul.” Theron leaned to peer into her vehicle. Five or six people sat in the backseat, staring at him with a mix of confusion and wariness–like a cluster of timid rabbits confronted by a lion.

How could a man look this intimidating?

“This isn’t the haul. The real prize is right here.” Theresa lifted the pressure cooker in her arms.

At the sight of it, Theron caught the sharp, unmistakable scent of a zombie. “Zombie head?”

“Yep. Level 4 zombie.”

The moment he heard that, his eyes lit up like a predator’s. He looked back at her and raised a thumb in approval.

“Impressive.”

His own ability had reached Level 5, but even he couldn’t say for certain how a one–on–one fight with a Level 4 zombie would turn out. Seeing Theresa return so casually, carrying its head in a pressure cooker, he could only keep giving her silent praise.

She was a force of nature–always had been.

“I’m heading back. Got something to take care of.”

“Go ahead.” Theron smiled and stepped aside. The others nearby parted instantly, saluting as she passed.

Once they cleared the first defensive line, the passengers in the backseat were still in shock. They stared after Theresa, struggling to reconcile the image before them. She didn’t seem like just anyone.

She seemed extraordinary.

The Reaper kept rolling forward. In the darkness ahead, they began to see vast golden fields.

“Mr. Collier, is that wheat?”

Barrett pushed up what remained of his broken glasses and studied the farmland flanking the road.

“Yes–wheat! And corn too, plus greenhouse vegetables!” His voice was full of disbelief.

How had they managed to restore farming on such a scale? Where were the zombies? How could they plant so much, right in the middle of zombie territory, without being overrun?

Soon after, lights began to appear in the distance.

“Mr. Collier, look! There are lights ahead!” Heidi’s voice trembled with excitement.

In the darkness, one lamp turned into two, then into a row, then into rows upon rows–an entire sea of lights, proof of human civilization.

“It’s a city.” Barrett was stunned.

A city. Humans were living in a city again.

The group felt as though they’d stepped into another world, like characters from a bygone age suddenly dropped into modern times. Riding in Theresa’s car, they entered Ansford.

The deeper they went, the wider their eyes grew, until they were completely overwhelmed.

The streets were spotless, the people well–dressed and strolling after work, children playing safely outdoors. There were even night markets–bustling lanes lined with calzones, watery corn soup, stir–fried dishes, grilled sausages, huge pots of stew, skewers sizzling over open flames, and so on.

They were stunned into silence.

Had they somehow traveled through time?

The Reaper pulled to a stop in a central square.

“Welcome to the Blazing Sun Alliance,” Theresa said, glancing at the speechless faces behind her.

Barrett’s voice was unsteady. “M–Miss… this is the multi–camp alliance you told us about?”

“That’s right. I told you I wasn’t lying.”

Not lying?

They were floored. She had undersold it beyond belief.

They never could have imagined that the multi–camp alliance Theresa mentioned would turn out to be such a bustling, magnificent city.

Barrett had pictured, at most, a remote settlement maybe twice the size of their school–a gathering of small camps huddling together for safety, banding against the zombie hordes.

Inside the alliance, he expected chaos, poor sanitation, cramped living conditions, scarce food and water, and constant conflicts between people and camps.

But he could never have imagined a place like this–shining like a beacon of humanity.

He thought back to the first wall they’d passed through: a steel barrier holding back countless zombies. Beyond it stretched vast, fully mechanized farmland, abundant supplies, and now, a clean, orderly city.

This was the kind of place every survivor in the apocalypse dreamt of reaching.

And somehow, they had made it here.
