After the incident with the three camps, they had come to understand one thing clearly- humans in the apocalypse were a hundred times more dangerous than zombies.

Zombies were a natural disaster; if fate dealt that blow, one could still find a way to live. But when people became the disaster, that called for total eradication. That was why they built up defenses and held the first line at all costs.

But because Ansford’s defensive line stretched too far, all they could manage was a basic level of protection. If someone launched a suicidal attack on their camp, they would still suffer losses, though never as severe as before.

Theresa knew the limits of their development. Still, as the saying went, Rome wasn’t built in a day. They had only so many people, their productivity had only just returned to an industrial level, and bringing back the kind of military power a nation once had would take a long time. But with even a basic anti–air defense system in place, her sense of security rose. Later, she would find ways to add more.

Just then, a familiar and explosive voice echoed in her mind.

“Beep–Ultimate Leader System activated! Please expand your territory by double, reward: a full–scale anti–air defense system!”

Theresa, who had just been trying to comfort herself, froze. She could always count on her cheat.

Looking at everyone still brooding over the camp’s development, she stood up and said, “Stop worrying. From today, expand the territory. Kill zombies! Clearing ground is the real priority!”

Lucas, Theron, Bennie, and the others all turned toward her. They couldn’t help but give silent praise. She was right. The answer was clearing zombies.

Theresa’s current territory covered all of Ansford. Doubling that meant either swallowing an entire new city or advancing in two directions at once. Either way, it meant pushing all the way into the city center.

“Advance on Branford first!” Theresa drew a line across the map, setting their attack route.

By August, the apocalypse had entered its fourth year. In the east, human settlements that had once been scattered fragments had merged into a single mass, now spreading outward from

that core.

During this time, Theresa’s alliance had made another major leap in equipment. Their zombie–clearing vehicles had been upgraded to resemble tanks, capable of carrying cannons and explosives.

Human counterattacks against zombie–held regions began in full. First came the broadcasts, then the bombings, then the all–out sweeps.

In just two months, Theresa’s forces pushed their lines across two–thirds of Branford. The cleared streets became true dead zones, completely emptied.

Just as she prepared to take Branford in one strike, one of her war vehicles went missing at the border between Branford and Crestmont.

“What’s going on with Vehicle Seven? Why hasn’t there been any word?” Theresa asked from her office, eyes locked on the front–line reports.

“Graham’s driving Vehicle Seven. He shouldn’t be in trouble,” Lucas replied, frowning as he saw the vehicle had been out of contact for a full day.

“Send reinforcements to check it out,” Theresa said, but then shook her head. “No–I’ll go myself.”

She stood, marking the spot on the map. “Bennie, send me all the intel on that area.”

Soon, an armored vehicle roared down the highway at the Branford–Crestmont border. On both sides stretched emptiness–deserted zones cleared of life. No people, no zombies, only the desolation of a wasteland city.

The wrecks on the road were either stripped bare or removed, while small black–gray mounds stood by the roadside, 10 to 18 feet high. They weren’t hills. They were piles of zombie corpses.
