Chapter 204 Who Do You Like?

When Tania heard Theresa list off the group, she gave a knowing smile. “I see…. So which one do you like?”
Theresa stared at her, utterly baffled. “Why would I like any of them?”
“They’re all great options,” Tania said without missing a beat. “That Lucas guy–he’s the best looking, and the mostposed. Definitely has that reliable, old–soul vibe. If you dated him, it’d be like dating a dad- type. He’d take care of you, no matter what.
“Now that Kyle kid? Loyal puppy through and through. Good–looking, easygoing, andpletely devoted to you. Being with him would have its own appeal.
“But the one I like most is that Theron guy. Trust me, with my years of experience? If you can handle that man, every single day of your life would be packed with excitement.”
Theresa watched her aunt analyze the men in perfect seriousness—after just one dinner. <i>How </i><i>the </i><i>hell </i>did <i>she </i>get all <i>that </i><i>from </i><i>a </i><i>meal</i><i>?! </i>
“What about the other two?” she asked.
Tania’s eyes widened like a scandalized veteran. “No way. You’re not seriously interested in those two, are you?”
Theresa fell silent.
“Tyger? He wanted to offer you food too, but after seeing the others already did, he gave you this older- brother smile. That man clearly sees you as a little sister–forget it.
“And that girl, Charlotte… tsk tsk, my little Terry, now <i>that </i>would be a twist. But if you like her, I support you! I’m very open–minded. You two would actually be cute together. She clearly looks up to you. If you made a move, I think she’d say yes. Wishing you both happiness!”
Theresa, slightly stumped, took a moment before saying, “Go to bed, Aunt Tania.”
“But Terry, I <i>have </i>to sleep with you tonight! All these years overseas, I’ve dreamed about you every night. I wanted toe back so many times, but never dared. Tonight, let me hold you properly.”
Theresa, ruthless to outsiders but soft as putty to her own, eventually gave in after ten minutes of coaxing and let Tania sleep beside her.
They both slept soundly that night.
The next morning, Theresa called Elias over to escort Tania and the other rescued women back to her base.
“Aunt Tania, go live at my camp for now. I’ll head back once I wrap things up here.”
Tania wanted to stay with her, but she knew better. Without the strength to contribute, she’d only be a burden. “Terry, you have to be careful. And if youe across those meds, grab them! There’s a ce I know on the north side of the city called Parkson Drugs. They’ve definitely got everything I need. If you can, go straight there. You might be able to get it all in one trip!”

“Got it.” Theresa said,mitting it to memory.

Parkson Drugs… If she remembered correctly, it was just outside the old town. Once they cleared the zombies there, she could swing by and pick up the supplies. With the spray Tania could make, every single person in her group would gain an extrayer of defense.
After sending Tania and the others off, a system notification rang out in her mind. <i>Ding</i>–A <i>new </i><i>camp </i><i>guard </i>has been registered. <i>You’ve </i><i>been </i>awarded <i>one </i><ibat </i><i>suit </i>and <i>1,000 </i><i>points</i>. <i>Loyally </i><i>level </i><i>has </i><i>increased</i><i>. </i><i>Current </i>loyalty: <i>100</i><i>–</i>ssified as <i>Gold</i>: <i>Eternal </i>and <i>Unmatched</i>.”
Theresa had just gained her first gold–tier member–Tania.
Ding–Eight new <i>residents </i><i>have </i><i>joined </i><i>the </i><i>camp</i>. <i>You’ve </i><i>earned </i><i>800 </i><i>points</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>loyalty </i><i>has </i><i>increased</i>. <i>Current </i>loyalty <i>level</i>: <i>99</i><i>. </i>
The eight women they rescuedst night–high loyalty from the start.
With that settled, Theresa regrouped and returned to the old town. This time, it was a full–scale assault. Everyone was ready. No more scouting, no more tests.
<i>Charge</i><i>! </i>
It had now been eight months since the zombie outbreak.
One by one, human bases were wing their way out of the chaos. But for every camp that adapted and survived, others vanished–swallowed whole by the apocalypse. Poor location? They neversted long. They were overrun before they could even stabilize. They appeared like blips on the global broadcastwork–then vanished without a trace.
Some couldn’t find enough resources and were forced to cannibalize their own, like the base she’d wiped out just days ago. Even if they hadn’t crossed Theresa, they would’ve self–destructed eventually.
Others fell to stranger fates: internal power struggles, infighting that tore them apart. Some simply disbanded, their people scattering in all directions. A few lost their minds entirely, massacring others inside the base and drawing zombies in like a ma. In short, the only survivors were those with true strength… and absurd luck.
Bennie nced at hisputer and ran a quick calction. Since he’d started monitoring this region, nearly a third of the camps had already disappeared. Like bubbles popping in a storm–each one vanishing without warning, erased from the map.
