Chapter 68 The Savior Arrives
mes shot from the top of the armored car.
A wall of fire. A wave of water. And the armored car itself ramming back and forth through the chaos. Within minutes, the massive horde of zombies <b>was </b>broken apart and ttened.
Behind the wheel, Theresa grinned. Now that’s home you kill zombies!
Efficient. Brutal. Satisfying,
Once the main zombie force was wiped out, the armored car pulled up alongside the warehouse. The door swung open–and out came the dogs.
Fierce and well–trained, the dogs wore custom tactical gear protecting their heads and bellies. They tore into the remaining <b>zombies </b>with unrelenting aggression–snapping jaws, shing ws–finishing off anything still twitching.
Then the car’s roof fully opened, revealing a towering hydraulic lift that rose swiftly into the air.
To the shock of Leo and Wendy, two figures–one man, one woman–leapt up from below andnded on the rooftop beside them.
They were here to save them.
The man wielded a high–pressure water cannon. The woman carried a katana.
They moved like a storm through the remaining zombies. Every time Theresa’s de swung–st–a head flew. Zombies dropped like wheat before a scythe.
Kyle’s water cannon cleared her path with pinpoint precision, sweeping away enemies beyond her reach. The two operated in seamless coordination, cutting a clean path through the chaos toward the generator.
In just ten minutes, the rooftop was clear.
Leo <b>and </b>the others stared at Theresa and Kyle as if they were gods.
Was this what divine intervention looked like?
<b>And </b>they hadn’te by chance–they’de for them.
<b>“</b>You want toe with me?” Theresa asked after thest zombie hit the ground.
Everyone froze.
“I’ve built a camp, she continued Anyone who chooses to follow me bes a resident. From now <b>on</b>. I’ll protect you. Inside my territory, you’ll be the safest people alive.”
She looked each of them in the eye, steady <b>and </b>unwavering.
Leo was the first to speak. “What do you want from us in return?”
“Swear loyalty to me.”
Chapter 68 The Savior Arrives
Theresa stood tall, katana in hand, framed against the backdrop of fire and sky.
“I can’t promise your life will go back to what it was before the apocalypse. But if you follow me. I can promise you’ll be the luckiest survivors <b>alive</b>,”
Kyle stood silently behind her–solid, resolure. The aura of power radiating from Theresa drew everyone in.
She didn’t have to force them. Strength like hersmanded belief.
“You saved us. My wife and I are in, Leo said. He grabbed Wendy’s hand and stepped forward.
There was no reason to say no.
Zombies were everywhere. There was nowhere left to go–no homes to return to.
No food. No jobs. And constant fear of being attacked at any moment, from any direction.
Of course they needed to find somewhere safe to settle.
<b>And </b>if Theresa hadn’t shown up when she did, they wouldn’t <b>have </b>survived.
She was powerful–incredibly powerful. Her strength alone was reason enough to follow her.
Without her, how could they possibly go on living?
After Leo and Wendy climbed <b>down</b>, the remaining dozen or so rushed to follow, one after another.
“We’re in.”
“I’ll follow you–just keep <b>us </b>safe!”
“I just want a meal and a roof over my head!”
Nearly everyone agreed on the spot–only one pair of <b>young </b>girls held back.
“We… we want to go home; one said quietly.
Theresa ncedzily at them. “The world’s crawling with zombies. You think your home is any different?”
The girls hesitated. But then one of them shook her head. “No… we still want to go.”
Theresa didn’t argue. Her voice turned cold. “Then go.”
Relieved, the two girls nced at Theresa and Kyle, then quickly made their way to thedder.
Some of the others seemed like they wanted to speak <b>up</b><b>, </b>but in the end, no one stopped them.
Out of eighteen, sixteen chose to stay.
<b>And </b>as soon as they made their choice, a notification sounded in Theresa’s <b>mind</b>.
