    Ovee with emotion. Henry turned to Theresa and dropped to his knees with a heavy <b>thud</b>.


    “You saved my wife. I owe you my life!”


    “It’s not over yet,” said the girl who had helped deliver the baby. “The


    ther’s condition looks stable, but


    the baby isn’t. I’m guessing three hours, tops. If she can’t deliver by then, the baby’s going to die inside


    Henry shot up instantly. “I’ll go get the first–aid kit!”


    “Henry!” Nathan shouted after him. There are zombies outside!


    “I don’t care what’s out there. I’m going!”


    Sophie was safe now. That meant it was time to fight for the baby.


    Fire or de, Henry went through it all.


    “Calm down.” Nathan pulled him back hard. “I mean you can’t <b>go </b>alone. You won’t make it. We’re going together<b>! </b>


    That finally snapped Henry out of it.


    The anger in his eyes slowly faded as he looked at Nathan, wide–eyed and anxious. “Nathan…”


    “Enough said. We’re a team. Sophie’s having a baby, so it’s on all of us.” Nathan looked at the others. “Everyone but the women, gear up ande with me. Liana, you’re on watch.”


    Liana’s face was tense, but she <b>nodded </b>firmly. “Got it. I will.”


    After organizing his group, Nathan turned toward Theresa’s team. That was when the hesitation kicked in.


    Theresa was an outsider. She’d just saved Sopliie’s life, but there <b>was </b>no way he could leave her group behind in a nearly defenseless camp. If they turned on them, he wouldn’t be able to stop it


    “You’reing with us,” he told Theresa tly.


    “Why?” Quentin askedzily.


    Nathan’s face turned grim. “Because this is our camp.


    Quentin blinked his one good eye. He looked like he was about to argue again, but Theresa stopped him with a nce.


    “All right, we’ll go with you,” she said easily.


    Theresa was easygoing by nature. She might not always act like everyone <b>else</b>, at deep down, she was as


    human as anyone.


    So long as <b>no </b>one crossed her bottom line, she was kind and tolerant. She understood how hard it was to survive. She never kicked others while they were down or took things by force, In fact, she often helped


    others out for free.

    But if someone did cross that line, she didn’t hesitate.


    She wasn’t inherently good or evil–just a seamless blend of angel and devil.


    She <b>was </b>also the kind of person who could rob and kill a man the roadside, then turn around and retete a drowning child the next moment.


    A walking contradiction. A clear–cut mix of ck and white.


    That was why Lucas had always held her in such high regard. The more he got to <b>know </b>her, the more he


    liked her.


    He often said she was strong without being a bully–fierce, but never cruel.


    Her ws always pointed upward. They never turned on those below her.


    She never picked on the weak.


    To Theresa, Nathan was just a puffed–up tough guy.


    She didn’t take him seriously, especially not when his camp still relied <b>on </b>machetes and shovels for weapons. These people were backward survivors. Not worth bullying


    Besides, she came to this mine to scout out the area. From the looks of it, these were the only survivors around.


    Bringing them in was far more useful than wiping them out.


    She needed manpower.


    Since Nathan was being cautious, she decided to show some good faith.


    When he saw Theresa agree without a fuss, the hostility in Nathan’s eyes eased a little. And seeing that her group hadn’t made any trouble for them yet, he said, “You can stay. I’ll just take the men.”


    “No need. I’ll go with you,” Theresa waved it off. James, you stay behind”


    Once again. Theresa showed she was willing to cooperate.


    Leaving James at the camp meant one of their own would be here while the rest followed Nathan out. That made it clear they weren’t nning to stab them in the back or pull any tricks on the <b>way</b>.


    Nathan’s suspicion dropped another notch.


    He met her eyes and gave a small nod. There was a hint of approval in his expression.


    “All right. Everyone else, grab your weapons. Let’s move.”


    Nathan turned and led the group toward a different exit.


    The cave had several tunnels branching out, and it was clear more than half of them had been dug by the survivors themselves.


    They always had an escape route.


    Chapter 328 Blood and de


    In a ce like this, anyone who wanted to survive had to carve out their own excape routes–just in be


    <b>safe</b>.


    Theresa and the others followed <b>behind</b>, silently mapping out the entireyout of the camp as they


    moved.
