Chapter 239 Into the Mountain

The girl noticed Theresa staring, met her gaze with dark eyes for a moment, then quickly looked away and sat silently at the back,
Theresa <b>immediately </b>understood: the girl <b>was </b>keeping her power a secret from the others, deliberately blending into the background.
Smart–much smarter <b>than </b>Wyatt, who had been unting his <b>ability </b>everywhere just the day before.
“Oh, by the way, I never caught your names,” <b>Landon </b>said as he climbed into the vehicle. I’m Landon Harris. This is my childhood friend, Tanner Zane. These two brothers are Nathaniel Brooks and Julian Brooks. That’s Isabelle Hart, my girlfriend. This is Madeline Grace, <b>and </b>finally, Rhett Knox and his girlfriend Amelia ke.”
Theresa nodded, recognizing the quiet girl’s name was Amelia.
Tm Theresa Hall. Just call me Ms. Hall.”
“Alright, Ms. Hall!”
The armored vehicle rumbled to life.
With Landon leading the way, they soon entered the mountain.
As expected, wandering zombies appeared.
Bang, bang, bang!
Theresa’s vehicle barreled through the oing horde without hesitation, crushing zombies under its weight without slowing.
<b>Not </b><b>a </b>single one could damage the armored car.
They had crashed a smaller car into zombies before; it dented badly and was ruined quickly. This vehicle was something else entirely.
Of course, everyone inside was exuding a fierce, predatory energy, stronger than any zombie.
“Wow, so strong! Nat, look, they’re all really powerful!” a softer male voice said excitedly.
His voice faded, only to be met with a mocking <b>retort</b>.
Julian, do you want to act even more childish? Going on and on about Nat like that–it’s embarrassing.”
“He’s my brother, so mind your own <b>business</b>!” the burly Nathaniel snapped, clearly annoyed.
Tm just trying to help! Nathaniel, you always protect your brother. What happens when you’re gone? Who will protect <b>him </b>then? With how useless he is, he won’tst three <b>days</b>!”
“Screw you!” Nathaniel exploded.
“Enough! Stop fighting, you’re in someone else’s carl Landon quickly intervened, shooting an apologetic look at the others,
“We have to stick together. There are only a few of us left. We all need to <b>stay </b>alive. No more fighting.

Suddenly, Madeline screamed. “Samuel!”
In front of Theresa’s vehicle, a huge zombie, nearly six feet five, with both arms badly bitten and mangled, charged out.
Bang
Theresa’s vehicle didn’t hesitate, smashing the creature aside. One of its arms caught on a tree branch as it flew back
Madeline pressed her face to the window, screaming hysterically, “Samuel! Samuel!”

“Madeline, don’t be snd. Samuel’s been gone for a long time. That wasn’t really Samuel, a voice tried to console her gently.
“No.. my husband… <b>Samuel</b>… Madeline’s voice cracked with heartbreak.
Another man’s voice cut through the tension. “Landon, look! That’s <b>Tobias </b>and the others! They’ve all turned into zombies.
Landon’s heart clenched. Isabelle gripped his arm tightly, seekingfort as much as offering it. “I’m scared <b>too</b>, she whispered.
Theresa suddenly understood why, in her past life, Landon had be a lone wolf. Was he really leading a child’s troop?
Soon enough, a rental vi appeared before them.
Their armored vehicle stopped for a moment, drawing the nearby zombies in like moths to a me. One by one, the vehicle crushed and eliminated the creatures.
<b>was </b>quiet.
“There’s a car over there. You all get out here.” Theresa ordered once the area w
She wasn’t nning to take these helpless ones any further.
Landon knew Theresa was already being more than kind–they were just tagging along, after all, and she had her own mission.
“Be careful getting out, Landon warned, staying behindst.
“<b>You </b>want to head to the military camp?” he asked.
“You know the <b>way</b><b>?</b>”
“Go straight up this road, then turn right. <b>But </b>the right turn is blocked by andslide–you’ll have to walk about 1,000 feet to reach the camp.
Theresa nodded. “Take care of yourselves.”
“Thanks, Landon said, leading the group down the road. Zombies still asionally lunged from the shadows, but they had to deal with those on their own now.
Theresa’s vehicle headed further uphill.
It wasn’t long before they reached thendslide site Landon <b>had </b>warned about.
After everyone got out, they walked to the buried entrance of the weapons depot.
Dig here, Theresa instructed.
