Chapter 340 The Foundation of Power
Even though trading resources with alliance partners generated far more trade points than what her own camp residents produced, bringing the miners in as direct members of her camp was a necessary move because the mine was a critical source of energy and raw materials.
It needed to be monopolized.
Within the zing Sun Alliance, the food supply, power generation, <b>evolution </b>serums, scientific research, and now the mining operations were all monopolized by Theresa.
These were the foundations of survival
Theresa’s people directly controlled every essential sector.
Food production was fully mechanized and operated by longtime residents in the vi district. The nuclear power nt was under hermand, providing electricity for the entire city. The evolution serums were sold by her exclusively. There was no second supplier. In the field of research, Tania led the effort, with Bennie’s people assisting.
The rest of the camps in the alliance were engaged in manufacturing and industries built upon the fundamental systems she provided.
In other words, all allied camps relied on Theresa for survival.
So, when the need for the mine was confirmed, Theresa made the trip herself to secure it
All foundational materials had to be personally overseen by her.
Her people would always hold control over the zing Sun Alliance’s structural backbone, ensuring <b>that </b>even if all other camps were cut off, the alliance could still function perfectly.
Allied camps would always rely on her and never surpass her.
Once the mining operation started yielding raw materials, Ansford’s factories began producing steel continuously.
With the supply chain up and running, group after group of high defense wa Ansford’s borders.
gan to rise along
As each section of the border wall was built, Theresa could begin relocating the small camps stationed on the frontline defending against zombje tides, pulling them back inside the fortified borders.
There, they could defend against the zombie tides from within.
Not long after, the first ten–kilometer segment of the border wall waspleted.
The Flowers Camp was in the southernmost corner of Ansford
“Mr. Cloud, are we really allowed to retreat now?
Ansford was located in the eastern region, nked by Branford and Crestmont. The Flowers Camp sat at the very edge, near the border between Ansford and Branford.

They had received Theresa’s radio messages early on.
Even before the zing Sun Alliance was officially founded, they had heard of her namer
But due to distance and danger, they <b>couldn’t </b>attend the first multi–alliance conference in person.
Commander Louis Cloud <b>had </b>regretted that decision for a long time because he was a hardcore fan of
Theresa.
The moment he heard about her n to retake the city and form an alliance of survivors, he was beyond
excited.
He wanted nothing more than to charge ahead and join with his people immediately.
Since then, he had been glued to the radio, tuning in for every broadcast, eagerly listening even to her blunt insults calling non–joiners “idiots.”
He totally agreed. Theresa was right to curse them.
Anyone who didn’t join her was, indeed, an idiot..
But their location was too remote, caught between two zombie–infested towns.
They had hidden away in <b>a </b>stretch of farnd, always on high alert in case the towns suddenly unleashed zombie waves <b>that </b>would wipe them out.
Eventually, the zing Sun Alliance was officially established, and Theresa would begin supporting any camp that joined
Louis was the first to sign u <ol><li>up. </li></ol>
After signing up, they indeed received supply drops via drone and were reinforced by abat squad.
Louis was very excited at that moment. Everyone in the camp saw <b>hope </b>again. He knew his idol meant what she <b>said</b>. She <b>was </b>someone worth following and trusting.
Their camp had been assigned to hold their ground and help resist the zombie waves outside the city.
He <b>stood </b>firm with the reinforcements, and over nearly a year, they withstood multiple waves of zombie
attacks.
With Theresa’s constant supply of materials and firepower, they endured wave after wave.
At Flowers Camp, Louis held the line day after day.
Under <b>his </b><b>leadership</b>, the zing Sun Alliance grew stronger each day.
He saw Theresa take over Ansford, saw countless survivors return to the city, saw zombies being cleared out, <b>and </b>watched as building materials were delivered in droves. Starting from their southernmost <b>location</b>, the high wall began to rise.
They waited a long time, and finally, Theresa announced that they could withdraw their camp and move inside the protective walls

“Everyone, overjoyed.
kup the supplies. Transport everything into the first segment of the wall! Louis shouted,
With hismand, all members of Flowers Camp began their evacuation.
One by one, bicycles and small carts carried supplies toward the newly built wall.
But just as the entire camp <b>began </b>its withdrawal, a deafening roar erupted from the farnd behind them. A massive horde of zombies surged forward.
Huge waves of zombies came flooding out of the nearby <b>towns</b>, swarming like locusts, forming a dark, endless tide as they charged through the rice fields.
Among them were men and women, young and old.
