Lucas listened as Theresa fired off a blunt rebuke. He looked at her, his eyes sparkling with armusement.
In the entire world, only Theresa could be that straightforward and bold.
She spoke every unspoken thought in his heart.
Theresa truly lived up to her reputation.
That comeback was brilliant.
Watching her handle people was pure entertainment.
It felt exhilarating.
“Alright, Mr. Ledger is our partner in this mission. Let’s drop it,” Lucas said with a smile in his eyes, genuinely tempted to ruffle her hair.
But, of course, he held himself back.
“Mr. Keaton, this is…” Wolfe, suddenly given a graceful way out, straightened up and forced a smile.
“This is Ms. Hall from the Blazing Sun Camp.”
“Oh! So, you’re Ms. Hall from the Blazing Sun Camp! I’ve heard so much about you!” Wolfe said, pretending familiarity as he reached out his hand.
Theresa looked at the extended hand, shoved both hands into her pockets, and said, “Stop right there. Where exactly have you heard of me?”
“I–I think it was on a radio broadcast.”
“I’ve never sent out any messages. Which station did you hear me on?”
Wolfe’s face fell. He clearly hadn’t heard of the low–profile Blazing Sun Camp. “Mr. Keaton just introduced you.”
“Then why pretend you’ve heard of me? That’s so fake! No wonder you tried to scheme against Lucas the moment we met. Wolfie, you don’t come off well. Can you try being genuine next time?”
Wolfe was speechless.
He lowered his head, his fake smile slipping away, replaced by a cold, heavy scowl.
He couldn’t utter another word.
In the car behind them, the big man driving caught the whole scene and couldn’t help but light up with excitement.
That verbal takedown was just so satisfying.
Far better than any direct/physical confrontation.

Even Laicas noticed Theresa’s unusually fierce firepower directed at Wolfe.
Knowing Theresa, she wasn’t normally aggressive or hot–tempered.
She only fought back if provoked.

Bennie had been a perfect example. Theresa hadn’t intended to confront him at first, even giving up a big job because of Lucas‘ insistence. But Bennie had gone out of his way to provoke her, making her unleash her full force.
What was going on today?
Was she just annoyed by Wolfe?
Lucas himself found Wolfe irritating.
But they didn’t actually know each other, right?
Maybe she was just defending Lucas? Standing up for him…
No way…
That thought warmed Lucas‘ heart unexpectedly.
“It’s getting late. Let’s head to the clothing depot,” Lucas said, still smiling.
“Alright,” Wolfe replied, getting back in his car. Everyone gathered their things and set off.
After about fifteen minutes, they arrived at a wide, six–lane road running straight ahead.
On both sides were landscaped parks and growing clusters of buildings.
To the right was a fairly large bus station. To the left stood a huge five–story clothing depot.
Next to the depot were several shopping centers–some half–built and abandoned, others eerily empty and silent.
The nearest residential area was about 3,000 feet behind the clothing depot, so zombies were scarce on this major road.
Snow piled up to their thighs, covering everything. Occasionally, a zombie appeared, but the thick snow hindered their movement.
Lucas led in a large snowplow, pushing snow aside and crushing a few zombies that lunged forward, heading straight for the clothing depot.
The convoy stopped at the enormous depot’s entrance.
As soon as the vehicles halted, scattered zombies trudged toward them through the snow.
“No firearms,” Lucas ordered after stepping out.
He struck the first charging zombie with a bolt of lightning.

The zombie wore a simmer T–shirt and shorts, with a wallet hanging from its waist – a local shop owner turned undead on the way to open his store.
With a sizzling crack, the lightning hit the zombie’s head, black smoke curling from its skull as it stiffened. then collapsed forward, motionless in the snow.
After Lucas‘ lightning attack, fireballs, water orbs, and metal knives crupted, swiftly clearing nearby zombies. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs ͟.net
In the zombie cra, using firearms had serious limitations.
Just like Theresa during the Ansford mission–she wielded a katana and powers but never guns.
Once a gunshot rang out, the entire city’s zombies would be drawn to the noise.
