Chapter 353 Blood and Boundaries
“Kill her!”
“Kill her already!”
The <b>crowd </b>shouted, voices <b>thick </b>with panic and rage. In Harry’s <b>arms</b>, Lily let out a strangled <b>groant </b><b>and </b>coughed up another mouthful of ckened blood. She barely opened her eyes–her once–dark pupils now clouding into a lifeless gray.
“Ugh… Harry… it hurts…”
“Lily…
“Don’t talk, we’ll find Dr. <b>Klein</b>. He’ll help you. I promise.”
“Even if Dr. Klein could help, he wouldn’t waste resources on a nobody like your sister,” Yuki’s voice rang out coldly from behind.
He turned and shot her a death <b>re</b>.
But this <b>time</b>, she didn’t flinch. She stood straighter, as if emboldened by some backup n.
“Harry, kill her already. Once I’m back, I’ll have my <b>dad </b>ask Dr. Klein to give you an Evoloid. Your sister dying for me? That’s an honor for her!”
“Shut your mouth!” He roared, lifting Lily into his arms again. He walked past the group, and everyone instinctively backed away.
“Harry…
“Harry, it hurts….
“It hurts so much…”
His sister convulsed in <b>his </b>arms, <b>trembling </b>with agony, fingers digging into his hand.
He carried her to the shelter door. He crouched down, speaking gently. “We’re here. Look–we made it. You’re going to be okay. No more pain now….
“Ugh… ugh ugh…”
Just as her eyes turnedpletely gray, he drove a knife straight into the back of her skull.
Splurt!
Warm blood sprayed across his face.
His eyes clenched shut, his <b>hand </b>around the knife <b>shaking </b>violently.
He said nothing, lips tightly pressed together.
Up above, Theresa and the others watched in silence, each of them regarded him with quies respect.

Then a voice called from below.
“Hey, who <b>are </b>you guys?”
It was Yuki, the same girl who had shoved Harry’s sister to the zombies moments ago.
She looked deceptively sweet: petite at five–foot–<b>three</b>, dressed in a pre–apocalypse designer dress. Over it, she wore a fitted leather jacket and knee–high leather boots, both expensive–looking and clearly chosen for both style and protection.
Her eyes scanned Theresa’s group, but didn’t settle on Theresa herself. Instead, she flitted from one face to another, trying to spot who the real leader was,
Theresa gave a soft snort, nced at Lucas, <b>and </b>turned to walk off.
“And you are?” Lucas asked calmly.
As soon as he spoke, Yuki’s expression brightened. She thought that he had to be the one in charge. She fixed her gaze on Lucas‘ handsome face, her voice turning syrupy. “My dad is Timothy Cooper. He manages the first floor of Ark One. I’m Yuki Cooper. Who are you guys? I haven’t seen you before.”
Lucas didn’t answer her question. “How many administrators are there in Ark One? One per <b>floor</b><b>? </b>And who lives on which floors?”
“We’ve got five administrators, one on each floor. The first and second floors are for regr people, the third is for the elites, <b>and </b>the fourth and fifth are for the higher–ups and base leadership. After spilling the information, her tone grew impatient. “So, who are you people, really?”
Lucas stood <b>tall</b>. “K1 Camp. Lucas Keaton.”
Theresa followed Lucas down the metal <b>stairs </b>from the rooftop.
She had already scoped out the top level: there was a direct–ess lift, but it waspletely locked down, with no way to go through.
Their group descended on foot and came face–to–face with Harry, the boy who had just killed his sister.
He nced at them, his eyes nk, unreadable. He turned silently back to his group. But when his gazended on Yuki, it burned with naked, lethal <b>intent</b>. The intensity made her flinch.
“What now? It’s not like I killed your sister!” she snapped, her princess attitude ring. “The zombie bit her, you finished her off on your own. What does that have to do with me?”
His fists clenched, his knuckles white as he began walking toward her.
But before he could get far, the same man who’d answered Theresa earlier stepped in front of him.
“Harry, her father’s an administrator. If you kill her, he won’t let you off easy.
“Your sister.. she’s gone. Don’t throw your life away.” William Wayne gripped his arms tightly. “Think this through
With his firm hold and pleading words, Harry slowly cooled down.

Nearby<b>, </b>Yuk! was already spinning the situation to the others. I didn’t mean by push already promised him an Evoloid. What more done he want? Some people are on imposeide
Then she saw Lucas and his group approaching and quickly ran over
“You’re from K1 Camp, right? You came to save us, didn’t you?
