“I didn’t expect it at all. There’s a military camp up in the mountains. We were out gathering supplies carlier today, and when we got back, the whole camp was wiped out. If you hadn’t saved us, we would’ve been dead too.”
Landon gave them the short version of what had happened.
Theresa listened carefully, piecing together how this group had survived for nearly a year.
They’d been lucky, rtively speaking. They’de out here on a rock–climbing trip and rented a remote cabin, far from most people. That istion had helped. They scavenged for supplies nearby and made do, hanging on through the chaos.
But they’d made one fatal mistake: they’d never checked the mountain for hidden threats.
In the end, it was the undead horde that overwhelmed them.
That’s how many small camps went down–quietly andpletely.
“So, where are you guys headed?” Landon asked, his tone eager.
Theresa didn’t answer.
Landon pressed on. “Hey, I don’t mean anything by it. It’s just–we don’t have a camp anymore. Wherever we go now, it’s the same. We want to go with you. Be part of your group.”
After a moment of thought, Theresa replied, “<b>Alright</b>. If you’re still here tomorrow, we’ll take you with us.” No sooner had she spoken than a woman rushed up, breathless and <b>frantic</b><b>. </b>
“Landon, something’s happened to Madeline!”
“<b>What </b>happened?”
“<b>Tanner </b>tried to sneak some supplies. Madeline caught him, yelled at him, and he lost it. They’re fighting
Dow
Landon sighed heavily. “Got it. I’ll handle it.
The group had once been tight–knit adventurers. Madeline was the widow of their former leader, Samuel Hunter, who died <b>saving </b>them all. On his deathbed, he’d asked Landon to look after her–and Landon had <b>taken </b>that responsibility seriously.
Tanner Zane, on the other <b>hand</b>, was Landon’s childhood friend. Hearing that the two were at <b>each </b>other’s throats left him deeply frustrated<b>, </b>
“Sorry, I need to take care of this,” Landon said politely to Theresa
“What’s <b>your </b>name?” she asked before he left.
He <b>smiled </b>faintly, Landon Harris.

Landon Harri….
Theresa’s eyes narrowed.
No way.
Could it really be that Landon Harris–the <b>Lone </b>Wolf from the “Top Ten Ruthless Survivors” list?
The list had beenpiled after the apocalypse by those still kicking, a kind of legend board for people who had done the impossible. It wasn’t static, more like the Forbes List–people rose and fell, depending on <b>what </b>they pulled off and whether they were still breathing.
Theresa could still remember the names from one of the more recent versions of the list: Theron Yorke. Bennie Green, Sage Arlen, Jules Frost, Quentin Kerr, Elias Churban, Tania Owen–Gray. Avery Flint, Mason Leigh, and yes–Landon Harris.
If Lucas had survived in her past life, he’d probably have made the list too.
Of course, it wasn’t just the people on the list who were impressive. Many had never gotten a shot–killed too early, overwhelmed by bad luck or bad <b>timing</b>. Some who had made it in one lifetime might <b>have </b>already died in <b>this </b>one.
Fate yed no favorites.
But the people who did make <b>that </b>list? They had pulled off jaw–dropping feats of <b>survival</b>.
Theresa remembered Landon’s legend. The Lone Wolf. A man who never traveled in groups. He was known to kill anyone who got too close.
He made his name three years into the apocalypse. A small camp sent a <b>squad </b>out on a mission and crossed paths with him. When they tried to approach, Landon warned them once–then ughtered the whole squad.
Their camp sent another team to get revenge. He wiped them out, too.
That second massacre made his reputation.
The camp even posted a bounty: anyone who could bring back Landon’s head would be offered leadership
of the camp.
Over a hundred people tried. All of them died.
From that point on, the name Landon Harris was engraved in infamy. Nobody dared mess with him.
Theresa didn’t know what became of him. After the chaos he caused, he vanished. Lone wolves weren’t <b>the </b>type to keep <b>making </b>waves. Maybe he died quietly somewhere.
Some said they spotted him in the mountains. Others imed he’d been torn apart by a horde.
So, Theresa couldn’t be sure. Was the man she just met <b>that </b>Landon Harris?
Perhaps they just happened to share the <b>same </b>name.
And the guy in front of her didn’t <b>act </b>like a ruthless <b>loner </b>at all.

She watched as he stepped into the crowd, calmly breaking up the fight, pulling people apart, soothing
tempers.
This was a man who carried his group like a father figure, not someone who’d gut strangers for stepping
too close.
Could this really be him?

Theresa immediately took an interest.–
“Beautiful, <b>what </b>are you looking at?
“<b>Looking </b><b>at </b>men, she replied coolly
Quentin was left speechless.

The next day, after the sun had risen, Theresa’s convoy packed up and headed into <b>the </b>mountains together.
At that moment, Landon caught up with them. “You’re really going <b>into </b>the mountains?”
Yeah.”
“I want toe with you. There was andslide here recently, and all the mountain paths have been rerouted. We know the way inside and can guide you. We just hope you’ll give us a ride. We’ll get out once we have a vehicle, and of course, we’ll split half our supplies with you!”
Landon spoke with sincere urgency,
His group transport.
was stranded without vehicles, waiting for Theresa to return–too dangerous to stay put without
After discussing with his people, Landon decided to offer half their supplies if Theresa agreed to take them along. They’d have to <b>pass </b>by their own camp inside the mountains, where they could find more vehicles to continue.
Theresa weighed the deal carefully, her eyes gleaming. Tell me one thing.”
“What?”
“<b>What’s </b>your ability?”
Landon hesitated for three seconds, then said, “My ability is Acroshield.”
Theresa’s eyes widened. That was him–the one she suspected.
“Bring <b>your </b>people, she said, eager to recruit such <b>a </b>powerful ally.
Before long, Landon arrived with his crew <b>and </b>supplies.
Theresa’s armored vehicle was massive; there was more than enough room for everyone and all their gear.
There were eight of them total: three <b>women </b>and <b>five </b>men, all physically strong.
Theresa scanned them. Among the eight, four were ability users. Besides Landon, there was a young fire- based <b>ability </b><b>user</b>, a burly water–based ability user, and… a <b>space</b>–based <b>ability </b><b>user</b>–a quiet girl with long
dark hair.
<b>Space</b>–based ability?
