Chapter 283 Neb Camp Recruited.
“Theresa, I knew you’de for us! Wanaah!”
“Theresa, I missed you so much!”
“Theresa, me too! I missed you like crazy!”
“Theresa, we <b>almost </b>didn’t make it. One secondter and we’d be gone!”
“Theresa…”
Theresa was speechless.
<b>The </b>moment they opened their mouths, a foul stench hit her nose.
It smelled like an old outhouse that hadn’t been <b>cleaned </b>in years.
She could handle being smothered by hugs. However, the smell? She absolutely could not.
She gagged.
“Don’t talk! Shut up! Get off me! Let go!”
Theresa twisted <b>and </b>squirmed, trying to break free.
<b>Just </b>then, someone stepped forward.
He began pulling the guys off her, one at a time.
The second <b>Graham </b>and the others saw Lucas, <b>they </b>all fell silent. They let go of Theresa <b>and </b>backed away with guilty faces.
Theresa wrinkled her nose and gave them a look. “Did you all crawl out of atrine pit or something?”
Before she even finished speaking, another hug mmed into her.
Lucas wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. His breath warmed her hair.
His chest rose and fell with each breath.
Lucas had always been the quiet type,
Steady. Strict. The kind who looked like he lived by a rulebook..
He never showed much emotion. Dury always came first.
Feelings camest. However, <b>now</b>?
Now, he couldn’t stop himself/He hugged her just like the others did.
He couldn’t help it.

He just needed to do it..
The-
“Don’t you start either. Theresa cut him off and shoved him away with one band.
Lucas fell silent.
“We’re just really thirsty,” Graham jumped in fast, trying to cover for them.
“Water. Got any water?”
Please, just a sip!”
Half an hourter.
Everyone who had made it out sat in the subway tunnel, gulping down water like they had just crossed <b>a </b>
desert.
They looked like survivors from a war. Dry lips. Wrinkled faces. Skin drawn tight fromck of water.
Only after they had had enough to drink, provided by Theresa, did their faces start to look better.
Theresa <b>had </b>Kyle and the others cook <b>something </b>hot. They boiledrge pots of instant noodles and handed them out one bowl at a time.
She checked her watch. It was 7 p.m.
“We’ll stay here tonight,” she <b>said</b>. “We’ll head out in the morning.”
“Alright!”
“No problem<b>!</b>”
“We do what Theresa says!”
Graham and the others shouted like fans at a concert.
Lucas didn’t say anything. He looked up from his noodles and gave Theresa a quiet smile.
Just then, a middle–aged man walked over.
He stopped in front of Theresa and gave a deep bow from the waist.
“What are you doing?” she asked, frowning.
“Ms. Hall, thank you for saving everyone in our camp,” said Leon, the leader of Neb Camp. His voice trembled with emotion.
“Alright, <b>that’s </b>enough. No need to bow,” she said, waving it off.
However, Leon <b>didn’t </b>straighten up. Still bent <b>forward</b>, he went on, “You’ve helped us so many times. You gave us food and supplies for <b>six </b>months. Now, you’ve saved us again. You’re the reason our camp is still here.”

As soon as he said that, all ny–plus people from Neb Carp stood up Men, Women Keen Kew this They bowed deeply in unison.
Theresa looked at them <b>and </b>let out a quiet sigh. “Okay, that’s enough Eat your food
Leon finally stood upright. His eyes were wet.
“Ms. <b>Hall</b>,” he said, voice shaking. “I don’t think I should lead Neb Camp anymore. I want to hand the whole group over to you. Please take us in. We’ll follow your lead from now on”
Theresa did not know what to say.
Ah, they were here to offer themselves.
Willingly. No pressure. No demands.
That almost never happened in the apocalypse<b>. </b><b>Even </b>the smallest camp was worth something
The camp leader ruled hisnd. It was his people. His say
Even if things were rough, it was still his tomand.
It was rare for any camp to join another. What benefits did they gain from that? When one camp joined another, it usually <b>meant </b>getting swallowed whole. Their name and ce would be gone, while their people would drop to the bottom of the chain.
However, the reason people threw themselves at Theresa without hesitation was because she was strong
She <b>was </b>so strong that Leon felt even if he had to work under her forever, it would still be better than what he could give his people now.
It was domination on a whole different level.
Hence, he gave in to Theresa of his own ord.
Theresa looked at the group still bowing in front of her and paused to think. “How many of you are there?”
“Ny–five,” Leon said. “Including me.
