“From now on, you’re officially part of my camp. Do you accept?” Theresa asked.
“Yes! We do!”
This time, before Heidi could speak, Barrett was the first to answer. Refusing wasn’t even an option–they had landed in a goldmine.
As soon as they agreed, Theresa’s population count increased by six. Her points shot up by 600, and she gained three new abilities–two speed–type boosts.
At this point, extra speed and strength didn’t give her much advantage. Once a certain level was reached, improving further became brutally difficult. Theresa’s speed and strength were already unmatched among all humans.
The speed–type abilities might not do much, but she had unlocked another new skill.
‘Ding! Congratulations! You’ve acquired Linear Acceleration!‘
–
Theresa’s eyes lit up at the notification in her mind.
Linear Acceleration could double her speed while she ran in a straight line, but she couldn’t turn.
Theresa remembered how, when she first met Barrett, he ran in a perfectly straight line.
So, that was his ability.
She understood immediately and accepted it quietly–strange or not, every new ability was another card in her hand.
She also remembered the gift package her system had given her–ten abilities in
total this time.
Turning her attention back to the group, she said, “Go find someone named Elias. He’s the steward of Blazing Sun Camp. He’ll get you settled, and if you ever have questions, he’ll help you.”

Barrett, Heidi, and the others nodded eagerly. “Understood, Camp Leader!”

After sending them off, Theresa grabbed the pressure cooker and went to find Tania.
Thanks to friendly directions from locals, Barrett’s group quickly located Elias, still busy at work.
“Hello, are you Elias?” Barrett asked, looking at the man with thick glasses and a kindly, almost saintly face.
“Yes, that’s me. How can I help?” Elias replied warmly.
“We’re new members of Blazing Sun Camp. The camp leader sent us to see you.”
Elias‘ eyes twinkled with understanding. “Ah, so I have six more workhorses under me now.”
The group exchanged blank stares.
After registering with Elias, they were assigned housing and personally guided to adapt to life in the Blazing Sun Alliance.
“There are plenty of empty houses. You can choose whichever you like, and I’ll reserve it for you. Housing here is free,” Elias explained.
Seeing the wide selection of available homes, Barrett and the others were stunned.
In Blazing Sun Alliance, residents didn’t pay for housing–they only paid a small daily tax of ten points. New arrivals were exempt for the first month. Free housing in a post–apocalyptic world? Unreal.
“But daily life runs on points,” Elias continued. “You can use points in our shops to buy everything–food, drinks, supplies, clothing. Starting tomorrow, you’ll have jobs, and your workplace will provide meals, so don’t worry about starving at first.”
The group inhaled sharply. Free meals too? What kind of paradise was this?
At that moment, their stomachs growled in unison.
“You must be hungry,” Elias said. “Let me treat you to a meal first.”

Barrett hesitated. “We still have some supplies with us.”
He had already gotten a rough idea of how Blazing Sun Alliance worked- everything in daily life had to be paid for with points.

Points were clearly hard to come by, so just having enough to cover their basic needs and maybe a little extra was already lucky. Being treated to a meal by someone else would cost a lot, and he felt too embarrassed to accept.
“You have supplies?” Elias raised his glasses, curious.
“Yes, instant noodles,” Barrett admitted, pulling out several packs hidden in his clothing. “Do we need to turn these in?”
As an experienced teacher, he understood that in a structured camp like this, all personal belongings ultimately belonged to the camp.
Since the camp provided them with protection, it was only natural to contribute their resources.
Especially in a place as generous as Blazing Sun Alliance, handing over all their supplies wouldn’t be an issue.
Elias examined their shabby, crumbled instant noodles and shook his head. “We no longer force residents to give up personal supplies. If your items are in good condition, you could trade them to Tessa for points. But these… Maybe just save them for the pigs.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ fıhe group froze.
What? The instant noodles they prized so highly in the apocalypse were for pig feed here?
