She, on the other hand, returned to her bunker to sleep, curled up with her dogs.

By the next morning, everything was running like clockwork.
Several vehicles rolled into Blazing Sun Camp, delivering a massive shipment of supplies, then departed fully loaded with processed goods. At the same time, one vehicle was speeding toward the city – inside were ten people.
“We’re just doing a preliminary recon run,” Theresa explained to the group. “Get a sense of the area, gather intel, and then we’ll plan the full assault.”
She sat in the center of the vehicle, flanked by Kyle and Tyger. Lucas had brought two people, and Theron had brought two of his own. Charlotte, from Spark Camp, had come alone. This operation was only a scouting mission.
The remaining four districts were all dense urban cores. After poring over the map for a long time, they decided to target the city’s western side first. West City had fewer residential blocks and more abandoned malls and shopping streets, along with a well–known historical town at its fringe–an ideal spot to establish a foothold.
Their vehicle entered the city roads.
“There really aren’t many zombies around here,” Charlotte murmured, frowning as she looked out the window at the empty streets.
“Once we stop, pair up,” Theresa instructed. “This sector will be our foothold for future expansion into the west. Keep it quiet, eliminate any zombies fast.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
Their vehicle stopped on a bridge at the center of the old town. The sound attracted a few scattered zombies nearby, who started shambling toward them.
Theron was the first out of the vehicle. With a combat knife in hand, he stepped forward and split open three zombie skulls in one clean motion–brutal and efficient.
Theresa nodded, satisfied. This squad was nothing but elites. No dead weight. With a lineup like this, their odds were already halfway to success.
Soon, everyone split off in pairs. Theresa partnered with Charlotte, while the rest broke into teams and spread out across different routes.
“I used to work a summer job here,” Charlotte said as she followed behind Theresa.
“Oh yeah?”
“There are tons of inns and guesthouses around here. I worked at one of the homestays.”
“Where are those usually located?”

“Down the alleys near the scenic spots.“.
“How’s the traffic usually?”
“Pretty busy on holidays. Summers, too.”
Just then, they both froze at the sound of something up ahead.

In one of the narrow old–town alleys stood a woman, her back facing them. She looked pregnant–leaning against a wall, her body trembling violently. Her thin sleep dress swung wildly with every motion, and she let out soft, guttural groans.
“Is she… giving birth?” Charlotte’s face paled.
Then came a wet squelch, and the “pregnant” woman dropped a zombie baby onto the ground.
The moment it hit the cobblestones, it rolled toward Theresa and Charlotte, the umbilical cord still attached. The woman, now visibly twitching, turned her head–and revealed a sickly green zombie face. Her jaw unhinged into a monstrous gape.
“Hhhhaaaa!”
She grabbed the squirming newborn, still connected to her, and hurled it straight at them. One zombie baby rolled on the ground, the other flew through the air.
Charlotte had never seen anything like this. She was still too shocked to summon her fire–based ability when a flash of silver streaked past her eyes. In one smooth motion, Theresa’s blade cút through both umbilical cords. With another downward swing, she cleaved both zombie infants clean in half.
The zombie mother, sensing the severed cords, let out a maddened screech and lunged.
Theresa calmly flipped her katana and hurled it like a spear. It nailed the creature to the stone street like a pinned insect. But before she and Charlotte could catch their breath, dozens of female zombies began pouring out from behind the alley–each one holding a zombified child.
“What the hell is this place?!”
“I remember now!” Charlotte cried out. “This was a brand–new maternity resort center that opened earlier this year!”
Theresa was speechless. Who the hell opens a postpartum retreat center in an ancient town?!
She was just about to unleash her ability when the sound of a small bell caught her attention.
“Over here!”
A ladder dropped down from a second–story window across the alley. A man, fully wrapped in protective gear, waved at them urgently from above.
“Up!”
Theresa grabbed Charlotte and climbed fast. Just as they reached the upper floor, the horde of zombies surged beneath them, moaning and shrieking. Some of the child zombies were even being thrown upward, their tiny hands clawing at the air.
