Chapter 324 The Mine
From the helicopter, the view shifted from city to suburbs, then to viges and farnd, gradually opening up.
They moved from the safe zone into zombie territory.
In vige after vige, zombies roamed the streets. When they heard the helicopter, they all looked up with their mouths open as they watched it pass overhead.
As the helicopter left, the zombies felt disappointed that it didn’t drop into their mouths.
In the sky, Theresa looked down at the scattered zombie <b>zones</b>, her gaze finally falling on the <b>mining </b>area ahead.
The helicopter kicked up a cloud of dust as itnded.
As soon as it touched down, the nearby zombies were attracted by <b>the </b>noise. The fastest ones to <b>approach </b>were a few worker zombies dressed like miners with safety helmets.
Their skin was dark and dry, and their bodies thin and aged. They opened their mouths wide, showing yellow teeth, and reached out with rough, bony fingers as they lunged forward.
Bang!
As the helicopter door opened, about four men jumped out first.
sh! sh! sh!
With a few swift strikes, the zombies were quickly taken down.
Once the area was cleared, a girl inbat gear with a high ponytail stepped out calmly.
It was Theresa and her team. She brought along Kyle. Tyger. Quentin, and <b>James</b>.
They came to scout the mining area and assess the route. If everything looked good, she would <b>then </b>have Lucas clear the road and the surrounding zombies before officially taking over the mine.
After the zombies were killed. James went around checking their heads and <b>soon </b>collected all their gleamstones.
“Well done.” Theresa said and patted his shoulder.
She had rescued him not long ago and learned he wasn’t even sixteen yet. ording to zing Sun Alliance rules, he <b>was </b>supposed to be sent <b>to </b>school.
However, James firmly refused and insisted on following her instead. He said the moment he followed her that day, he had decided to work for her forever.
Theresa thought for a moment and agreed to it. However, she didn’t add him to her elite guard unit.
Even <b>the </b>weakest member of her guards, Emma<b>, </b>had mental abilities. She wanted to keep the <b>guard </b>team’s level high<b>. </b>Thus, James, who was just a human, would need to prove himself first.

It <b>was </b>also <b>a </b><b>way </b>to motivate him. If he wanted to be part of the team, even as <b>a </b>normal person, he had to be the best he could be and not hold anyone back.
From then on. James would tag along on missions. Most of the time, the team looked after him and let him do the easier tasks, like collecting the gleamstones after the fight.
James wiped the gleamstones clean and put them into a bag.
Just then, he noticed a figure, which seemed like a young girl, darting past behind some crumbling ruins and pits.
“Ms. Hall,” he called out to Theresa<b>. </b>
“What is it?”
“I <b>just </b><b>saw </b>something over there,” he <b>said </b>with certainty as he pointed over the ce.
Theresa scanned the area and <b>saw </b>no other zombies. Then, she led the group in that direction.
As they walked, she released her mental powers outward but sensed nothing.
When they reached the spot, all they found was a torn piece of clothing caught on a tree branch.
“Rx, kid Tyger said while patting James‘ head.
“No, Tyger. I really saw someone. It was <b>a </b>little girl. She looked just <b>a </b>bit younger than me,” James said <b>seriously</b>.
“Are you sure it’s <b>not </b>just your imagination?” Quentin teased.
“Not everyone’s like you.” Theresa shot him a re. “Alright, nothing here. Everyone spread <b>out </b>and checked the ground. Count how many mine pits there are. Don’t wander too far and report back if you find anything unusual,”
“Yes!”
Then, they all split up and began inspecting the mine entrances.
Since James had just cried wolf, he now kept a straight face and took his task seriously.
As he walked into a dark mine tunnel, he suddenly locked eyes with a pair of glowing eyes in the dark.
I found something!” Just then, Tyger’s voice called out.
James looked over in Tyger’s direction for a moment.
