Chapter 536 The Stubborn Herman

“Start talking! What happened?” Herman snapped angrily.

“We ran into a zombie horde. Everyone’s dead, Mr. Hershberge,” Lara said quietly.

“And what possessed you to think that going out there was a good f*cking idea?” Her answer only made Herman’s anger balloon further.

“W–We just wanted to see what it’s like out there. We wanted to know whether things have already, you know… gone back to normal,” she stammered meekly.

“Normal? You risked your life and their lives for normal? I’ve said it over and over again, haven’t I? I told you it’s dangerous out there. And what did you do? You disobeyed my orders and left! Even worse, you got people killed!

“Yet, you still have the gall to show your face after screwing things up so badly.” Herman’s scowl deepened in his displeasure. However, he still brought them back with him.

His actions could only mean that he wasn’t about to chase them out of the base after all.

Lara hastily tried to salvage things, explaining, “Mr. Hershberge, we messed up. We really did, but the outside world really has gone back to normal. I swear it! The zombies aren’t infesting the city anymore.

“People have returned to the city to work and study. Even the supermarket and the malls are back in business. You guys have to come with us. Please!”

Herman and the others couldn’t help but regard Lara dubiously, frowning in disbelief.

“Don’t give me that look. I swear to God I’m not joking. I’m being serious here. Hell, Lachlan’s my witness. Tell them!”

“Lara isn’t lying. The alliance has formed several departments with the precise goal of making a future in this apocalypse. I’m working under the agriculture team. There are only about ten people in our group, but we have thousands of acres of food planted.

“I promise you, we’re no longer struggling to survive out there,” Lachlan added.

Once she was done, the silent Herman finally spoke up. “That’s great. Just wonderful. You were such good kids before you left. Yet, here you are now, making up tall tales! Do we look like fools to you?”

“Mr. Hershberge, I swear to you that I’m not yanking your chain. Okay, listen. I know it sounds

like it’s too good to be true, so that’s why you can’t bring yourselves to believe us. That’s fine. You could just send a representative over with us to check things out. Seeing is believing. right?”

“Stop it! Cease with your lies. Be honest. Why have you returned? What do you want from us?” Herman demanded sharply.

“That’s simple, really. We want your people to join the alliance. Of course, we also came here because we wanted to know just what this ‘inner camp‘ fuss was all about,” someone said blandly.

Theresa, who was dressed in a combat suit, jumped down from her vehicle.

Herman glared at her stubbornly with hostile eyes. “I knew it. I knew you guys were here to screw us over. I’m warning you, you will never be able to conquer our territory or meet a single inner camp member!”

“Ms. Hall, I’ve been trying to convince these old bags for ages. They’d sooner starve to death than join us. We might as well kill them all. It’s honestly way more efficient that way,” Sage called out.

Theresa shot him a pointed look. “And that’s enough out of you. Tell our men to retreat. Leave the negotiations to me.”

“Really? You want them?” Sage’s brows furrowed in clear distaste.

Of course! Why wouldn’t she want them?

Theresa wasn’t a ruthless killer. Besides, these people weren’t irredeemable monsters who had wronged her or her allies. So, why should she spill their blood?

Naturally, it also helped that she had a change of heart. In the beginning, she agreed with the philosophy that it was every man or woman for themselves. Everyone, from the oldest of men right down to toddling children, was a potential enemy.

As time passed, she gradually opened her heart to her allies. Her allies eventually became her friends, people she would scorch the earth for. It was her allies versus the world.

Now, she was wise to the ways of the world. She now understood that the true enemies were the zombies and those who sided with those brain–eating monsters.

Everyone else was her ally. Anyone who stood against the zombies, man, woman, or child, was an ally.

She had drawn the line in the sand.

So, she promptly shooed Sage away before turning her full attention on Herman. “Relax. You’re safe.”

“Do you think any of us will fall for your savior act?” Herman scoffed derisively.

“Listen, old man. I’m not a patient woman. So, you’d best shut up before I actually do something to you,” Theresa shot back.

“How dare-”

“Mr. Hershberge!” Lara and Lachlan cried out as they rushed to his side, grabbing his arms before he could do anything rash.

Then, they wasted no time trying to convince him, saying, “We haven’t been lying! We promise!”

“She’s Theresa Hall. She’s the leader of an alliance, and she’s insanely strong!”

“There are tens of thousands of people under the alliance’s protection. The people there aren’t just surviving, they’re living! They have food, clothes, entertainment, and medicine! Anything we had back before the apocalypse. You name it, they have it.”

Only then did Herman finally notice just how much healthier and cleaner Lara and Lachlan were looking.
