The underground gate mmed shut as Nathan led everyone back through countless dangers.
On the way back, the zombies had likely been drawn away by Lana. Their return had been far luckier.

“What took you guys so long?”
“Hana, how’s Sophie!”

Waiting anxiously inside, Hana snatched the supplies without wasting a single word. She rushed straight to Sophie’s side.
Everyone inside waited for the birth of the child.
After Theresa and her group came in, James led Liana over to them.
In <b>just </b><b>a </b>few hours, their rtionship had clearly grown closer.
“Theresa, Liana told me a lot,” James began. “Turns out, these folks used to work at the mine. Her dad used to be in charge of it.

Theresa nodded. She gave James a look of approval for his intel work.
Not bad. He got plenty of useful details in a short time.
“Oh, and Liana told me about Mr. Henry and Ms. Sophie too, James added after the praise. They really went through a lot. Mr. Henry was the second son. He always helped his older brother with the farm.

“At first, Mr. Henry didn’t want her to keep the baby, but there was nothing they could do. Fortunately, Liana’s older brother talked with the others, and they agreed to help them raise the child. Everyone’s been waiting for the birth.”

At that moment, someone stepped in front of Theresa.
“Thank you,” Nathan <b>said</b>…
She <b>gave </b>a slight nod–as they all deserved the thanks.
Without them, they wouldn’t have made it out alive. They couldn’t have gotten past the horde or made it through Lana’s ce.
“Who are you guys?”
