“They’repletely out of their minds! What kind of twisted logic is that?” Theresa’s teeth ground together as fury red in her chest. She could picture herself storming in and punching one of those lunatics in the face right now.
One thing was clear–the Starborn Order had just be top of her hit list.
She vowed to herself, Run into <i>them </i><i>once</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>I’ll </i><i>cut </i><i>them </i><i>down </i><i>until </i><i>there’s </i><i>none </i><i>left </i><i>breathing</i>.
“I don’t get it either,” Tania admitted with a sharpugh. “Most of what I know came from my ex–husband. To the Starborn Order, humans are pathetic–frail bodies, short lives, no special abilities–yet we strut around like we own the universe. To them, we’re just weak little carbon creatures who don’t know our ce.”
Theresa just stared, saying nothing.
Tania kept going, “Honestly, I hope the whole bunch ends up as zombies. They’re so eager to throw away their humanity–fine, let them. If advanced beings ever arrived, those idiots would bow first and hand over the whole on a silver tter. The thought alone disgusts me.”
Theresa’s head bobbed before she even realized it. She couldn’t agree more. “So, Aunt Tania, how in the world did you ever fall for someone like your ex?”
Tania sighed heavily. “Honestly? He was gorgeous.”
Theresa blinked in silence.
Tania smirked. “You don’t get it. The way he looked at me… three seconds and I’d already want to drag him <i>to </i>bed.”
Theresa just gawked at her,pletely speechless. “Then why did you break it off? Was it just different values?<b>” </b>
“Not really. He was too intense–always stuck to me, never letting his eyes wander. It wore me out, and he kept ruining my focus. So, I dumped him,” Tania told her bluntly.
Theresa’s eyes widened. “Savage.” <fn797e> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? </fn797e>
“Terry, when are you going to find yourself a man? Life’s finally slowing down. I’m dying for a little one to fuss over.” Tania’s smile was all mischief.
Theresa shot up straight. “Nope. Not happening.”

She spun on her heel. That conversation was over.

Tania called after her with augh, “Why are you running? I’m the most easy–going aunt in the world. I don’t nag about marriage. Just grab yourself a guy and enjoy life! Lucas, Theron- they’ve got the looks and the muscle. Even those two young men working for you–they’re polite, thoughtful, and know how to keep a woman happy. They’d pamper you like a queen.”
Theresa picked up speed like her life depended on it. No way was she hanging around for this.
<i>Seriously</i><i>, </i><i>what’s </i><i>the </i><i>big </i><i>deal </i><i>about </i><i>men</i>? <i>Do </i><i>they </i><i>show </i><i>up </i>with <i>crates </i><i>of </i><i>supplies</i><i>? </i><i>Do </i><i>they </i><i>hand </i><i>me </i><i>the </i><i>power </i><i>to </i><i>call </i><i>the </i><i>shots</i><i>? </i>
<i>Watching </i><i>my </i><i>camp </i><i>grow </i><i>stronger</i><i>, </i><i>piece </i><i>by </i><i>piece</i><i>–</i>that’s <i>absolute </i><i>satisfaction</i>. <i>No </i><i>man </i><i>could </i><i>ever </i>top
<i>that</i><i>. </i>
After getting away from Tania’s ambush, Theresa called over to Tyger and told him to bring Vinny to her office. She needed more details about thatb.
Vinny mentioned that her mom was a doctor who gave injections, and since that facility was already connected to the Starborn Order, her mother might be part of it.
It might be the key she’d been waiting for.
Theresa sat in her office, waiting. Soon, a knock came at the door, and it swung open to reveal Vinny, with Lara and L right behind.
Lara’s eyes widened in disbelief as she took in the room. Since joining the zing Sun Alliance, she had felt like she was in a different world.
<i>Did </i><i>I </i><i>somehow </i><i>step </i><i>back </i><i>into </i><i>the </i><i>world </i><i>before </i><i>the </i><i>apocalypse</i><i>? </i><i>How </i><i>can </i><i>life </i><i>here </i><i>be </i><i>so </i><i>great</i><i>? </i><i>It </i><i>feels </i><i>like </i>I’ve <i>stepped </i><i>into </i><i>paradise</i>.
“You two…” Theresa had almost forgotten she’d dragged them back as well.
They were lucky–still alive after everything.
After staring death in the face, Lara and L now saw Theresa in apletely different light. She might’ve roughed them up, but she hadn’t given up on them, and she hadn’t crushed them just because they were weak.
They realized that if they stayed out of her way, Theresa barely noticed them at all. She wasn’t

the type to prey on the weak.

“We want to join you.” Lara fiddled with her hands, clearly nervous.

Her pale face drooped, the fake sweetness fading away. The delicate flower act had wilted. What stood before Theresa now was someone worn down by survival.
“You want in? Then tell me what you can actually do.” Theresa didn’t waste words.
Theresa’s standards were simple. If someone had practical skills, she’d keep them. If they didn’t, she had no problem letting them walk away. She couldn’t care less about appearances or anyone’s past.
Lara peeked up atst, big eyes wet and uncertain. “I… I can doundry.”
Theresa almost burst outughing. “We’ve got washing machines, so why would I need you for that?”
“Then… I can pick wild veggies, maybe cook something simple…” Lara tried again.
Theresa waved her hand dismissively. “We’ve got machines for farming, pigs on arge scale, and actual chefs. Nobody needs that.”
