Chapter 101 New Recruit
Should I kill him? As treacherous as he is, he will undoubtedly be a ticking time bomb. People like him aren’t worth keeping around, but his special ability…
Having copied the unique traits of every single person she recruited previously, Theresa knew it was crucial to obtain his half-zombie constitution. I must have it!
“Alright, you can join us.”
“Wait! I haven’t finished speaking, pretty lady,” Quentin interrupted suddenly. “What will I get in return for joining you?” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ
“Naturally, you’ll receive the best treatment we can offer,” she replied with a forced smile. “Stick around with me, and you’ll have meat at every meal.”
“Are there any women in your camp? Oh no, I meant… how many people are at the camp?”
His question left her speechless for a moment. Just as the rumors said, he really is something else.
“It’s just Kyle and me. Kyle is the guy outside.”
“Just the two of you?” He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, a strange and unreadable light flashing through his single dark eye. Then, he grinned and asked, “He’s not your boyfriend, is he?”
She paused for a moment before she answered, “No.”
“Great, then I’ll join you!” He agreed without hesitation.
Following his affirmation, a voice immediately rang in her mind. Ding!One Camp Guard (Pseudo) obtained! You have been awarded 100 points! Loyalty level of the new camp guard is below 60, unable to unlock special attributes!
Theresa was shocked by the word “Pseudo”. It was something completely new to her.
After staring at the notification for a moment, she quickly opened Quentin’s profile panel in her mind. A string of numbers in white appeared before her-Loyalty Level: 59! (Initial loyalty level 19, system bonus +40!)
She could barely process the numbers.
D*mn! I can’t believe his initial loyalty level is only 19 points! Even with the system adding a bonus of 40 points, it didn’t reach the threshold of 60 points!
F*ck! What a bummer! He should really learn from Kyle, who has a loyalty level of 100 points marked in purple!
Kyle’s initial loyalty level had started at 70 points. Thanks to the additional 40 points awarded by the system bonus, his loyalty level immediately shot past 100 as soon as he joined her.
Once a person’s loyalty level exceeded 100 points, they were further divided into three colors: red, purple. and gold. Red meant blazingly intense loyalty; purple meant unwavering allegiance; and gold meant

eternal and exclusive devotion!
Compared to all that, Quentin only had a loyalty level of 59 points! It wasn’t even enough to unlock his special attribute!
Theresa was so exasperated by the situation that she was tempted to shoot the untrustworthy and
unreliable traitor on the spot. He was already planning to betray her from the moment he joined her. Who would want a person like that on their side?
But… I’m only one point away from the 60-point threshold of the loyalty level. I can’t kill him yet… I have to obtain his half-zombie constitution!
“What are your interests, Quentin?” Maybe a gift will raise his loyalty level! “Since you’ve joined us, as the leader, I should get you a welcome gift.”
With a cheeky grin at Theresa, Quentin playfully answered. “I’m not really into anything specific, but if you really want to give me something… How about your heart, pretty lady? I’m serious-I fell in love with you at first sight!”
Bang!
At that moment, she lost her patience and sent him flying with a kick. “Get to work! Herd the live pigs outside! If you’re even the slightest bit slow, I’ll dig your heart out and feed it to the pigs!”
He crashed to the ground. Sprawled across the ground, he watched as she entered the next pen to collect the live pigs. A strange glint flashed through his half-zombie, half-human eyes. Then, a faint smile slowly crept onto his lips.
Half an hour later, the remaining live pigs in the pig pens were safely stored away into Theresa’s domain. As for the dead pigs, she instructed Quentin to drag them into a pit.
Quentin’s half-zombie constitution seemed to have enhanced both his strength and speed, allowing him to work quickly.
Once the dead pigs were piled together in the pit, they were doused with gasoline and burned. Having been dead for some time, their bodies were already decomposing. Their meat was no longer safe to eat, and leaving them there would only breed bacteria and viruses. It was better to burn them now to prevent the outbreak of a future epidemic.
Throughout the entire process, Quentin barely said anything. He simply watched Theresa with a playful
smile on his face.
The dogs waiting outside immediately started barking when they sensed the fire inside.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
Similarly, Kyle called out anxiously, “Theresa! Are you alright in there?”

“What happened in there, Theresa?”
“Nothing much.”
Kyle had been waiting anxiously outside, worry written all over his face. At that moment, his gaze landed on the man following behind Theresa. The man was wearing a baseball cap and an eye patch.
“Who’s that?”
“Kyle, this is my new recruit,” Theresa introduced. “His name is Quentin Kerr.”
“Hey!” With a grin spreading across his face, Quentin reached out to shake Kyle’s hand. “Nice to meet you, buddy. I’m Quentin Kerr.”
