Chapter 270 A Surprise Connection


    Chapter 270 A Surprise Connection


    Tania smiled and said, “Just call me Aunt Tania. I don’t use my old name anymore.”


    Bennie waspletely stunned.


    If one asked who Bennie wanted to recruit the most in the whole world, the virus expert Anita would definitely be one of them. He’d always hoped the strict requirements for regr people joining the camp would be lowered for someone like her.


    And now, he was actually looking at the superstar he’d been dreaming about.


    “Why are you staring at my aunt like that?” Theresa pped the table.


    Bennie snapped out of it like waking from a dream.


    Even after the shock wore off, he couldn’t stop staring at Tania. If she belonged to another camp, he would’ve done whatever it took to recruit her. A top expert like that needed to be treated like royalty.


    But she turned out to be Theresa’s aunt.


    Right then, he knew he didn’t stand a chance. He was never going to get someone like her.


    After the disappointment passed, he couldn’t help but think Theresa was seriously something else. She was already amazing on her own. Her camp was incredible. And now even her aunt was a big deal.


    Theresa was just too much.


    “Thank you, Aunt Tania,” Bennie said as he took what Tania handed him. He sat down politely, but full of regret.


    Theresa saw it in his eyes right away–he was heartbroken.


    She had just stolen the top talent from hisst life’s camp. With her aunt’s background, Bennie would’vepletely lost it the moment he realized who she was.


    But there was nothing he could do–she was her aunt, after all.


    All the best people ended up with Theresa.


    And it wasn’t just her aunt. If she ever came across any of the others on the Top Ten Ruthless Survivors list, she’d take them too.


    After he sat down, Bennie stayed quiet for a while before finally opening hisptop.


    “Ms. Hall, have you heard of Sage Arlen from the Dawnwatch Camp?”


    Theresa’s eyes lit up. “Sage Arlen?<b>” </b>


    “<b>I </b>just found out too. In the eastern region, there’s another camp called Dawnwatch.”


    Bennie turned on hisptop and showed her the screen. It disyed a model of the whole eastern region.


    Large red areas were scattered with small white dots. The red zones showed zombie territory–the darker the red, the more zombies there were.


    In the eastern region, Ansford, Branford, and Crestmont formed a triangle. Ansford was farthest east, near the coast, and had the least red left. That was thanks to Theresa, who had cleared most of it.


    Branford and Crestmont, on the other hand, were still deep red, almost purple. Just looking at the map gave off a heavy pressure.


    Right in the middle of Crestmont was a white dot.


    “This is the Dawnwatch Camp. I got word they’re also fighting to take the city back,” Bennie said as he zoomed in on the map.


    The white dot quickly expanded.


    A section of the city lit up on the screen.


    “They’re attacking from the inside out and have already taken back the central district.“..


    Theresa’s eyes lit up even more.


    Sage was a big name, just like Theron and Bennie. He was a strong leader.


    In her past life, Theresa remembered that Sage had done the same thing–pushing outward from the center of the city. Dawnwatch had grown quickly in the early years of the apocalypse, but sadly, it fell in its fifth year.


    And when it copsed, they hadn’t even broken out of the city. It had just been too hard.


    Theresa had gone with a n to surround the city from the countryside. Her camp had solid support for every step forward. When things got tough, she could slow down or pull back.


    Sage had done the opposite. He started in the city center and pushed outward, In the early years, zombies hadn’t fully evolved yet, so it was easier to fight. And since the city had plenty of supplies, anyone willing to kill could get what they needed.


    But by the third year, things changed.


    Zombies had fully evolved and couldn’t be beaten. On top of that, food started going bad, and supply lines broke down. Unlike Theresa, they couldn’t retreat or take breaks.


    The city zombies attacked them nonstop.


    With all that pressure, Dawnwatch barely held on for two more years before falling apart.


    Compared to that, it didn’t evenst as long as Ember Camp.


    Theron’s area might have been poor, and he didn’t have much to work with at the start, but it was safer. He ended up doing way better than Sage.


    If one were to grade their efforts like how a test was graded, Theron and Bennie had finished the regr exam just fine. Sage’s test looked like it had been ripped in half, but he still managed to write down a few

    He had been at a disadvantage from the start.
