Heidi, who had stopped pumping when she noticed Theresa’s eyes light up, said, “Mr. Collier taught us how to build this.”
The two others quickly warned, “Heidi, don’t talk to her.”
Don’t let her find out our travel secrets.”
Theresa blinked, surprised. “Wait… the teacher you keep mentioning–is Barrett Collier his name?”
The four students exchanged surprised nces.
“How do you know?”
Right after they said that, regret washed over their faces.
“Why did you tell her again?”
“Great, did we just blow the teacher’s cover?”
“How does she know?<b>” </b>
Theresa stayed silent. It had been ages since she’d met anyone this innocent.
Dealing with the sly old foxes back at Ark Camp stretched time to infinity.
She had no idea what to say to these people who were so young and innocent.
At that moment, the four who had been pulled up from below finally reached the rooftop.
Reece quickly shut off their makeshift pulley system, and the others rushed over to pull the ropes and secure them safely.
As soon as thest one climbed up, a middle–aged man, wrapped inyers from head to toe, grabbed his aching waist and groaned loudly.
“Ow<i>, </i>my back’s killing me.”
“Mr. Collier, what’s wrong?”
“Where does it hurt?”
“Did we hurt you?” The students crowded around him, clearly worried.
“No, I ran into a real jerk on my way here. She didn’t y fairs ran me over with her car, didn’t apologize,
and then threw zombies at me.”
Theresa stayed quiet.
“Who’s that rude person?”

“Mr. Collier, we’ll roast her for you! That jerk’s gonna end up in hell!”
“Should’ve been hit by a car today!”
“Or bitten by zombies!”
“Hit first, then bitten! Turned into a zombie, then run over again!”
Theresa ignored their wild threats.
“All right, all right. Let’s keep it civil. We don’t stoop to their level.”

Barrett tried to calm them, but then his eyes caught two figures standing behind the group. They looked strangely familiar, like faces from a faded memory.
When his gaze met Theresa’s, she smiled, casually holding her knife. “Well, well. Look who’s here again.”
He stiffened as if struck by lightning. Shock and disbelief covered his face as he stared at Theresa and Quentin. “Why does it have to be you two?”
“Who are they, sir?”
“Who are those people?”
“She’s the one who ran me over with the car!”
A heavy silence fell over the group.
“I told you to watch them. Why did you let them up hère?” A boy standing beside Barrett snapped coldly.
“Jorge, we ran into a zombie swarm on the fourth floor. When we heard you were back, we didn’t have time to deal with them and just came up together,” Reece said quickly.
“How did you run into them?” Jorge’s face darkened even more.
Heidi looked down and answered honestly, “We were all on the fourth floor, so we just saved them.”
That reason only stoked the mes of anger,
I told you not to expose anything!”
“You’re so dumb it’s painful. You saved the people who ran over Mr. Collier. What do your heads function on‘ Air?” The girl in the middle spat, full of disdain.
“Don’t say that about your ssmates, Margaret Barrett cut in firmly, “They didn’t mean to.”
“Sir! You always let them off easy, and that’s why they keep dragging us into trouble. This isn’t the first time. Last time bad guys broke in, they went to save them and almost got all of us killed!”
“Margaret! Stop bringing up the past. We had no experience with a post–apocalypse world and thought they were good people back then.”
“And today’s no different! You fall for the same trap twice? You’re just hopeless idiots!”

Margaret’s pretty eyes filled with tears. She snorted sharply, ring venomously at the group before turning on her heel and storming off.
“Margaret!”
“Margaret!”
Jorge and the boy beside him called after her, but only the boy chased after her.
Reece and the others looked like kids caught doing something wrong. They hung their heads as Margaret Benson left in a huff, clearly feeling guilty.
“We messed up, sir.”
“We won’t do it again.”
“No.” Barrett cut them off firmly. “You didn’t mess up. The world’s already broken. If people can’t stick together, humanity’s finished. As long as you can protect yourself and aren’t a threat, you have to help when you can.”
