“Your camp’s in chaos–no one’s in the mood to eat. Why don’t we head back and let you focus on restoring order?” someone from Ark Camp Two suggested.
The second–in–command smiled coldly. “Why so eager to leave? Worried it’s not safe here … or afraid that if you stay too long, we might find something out?”
The faces of the Ark Camp Two delegates hardened. “What are you implying?”
He didn’t bother hiding it anymore. “There haven’t been any zombies near our camp. Security here is airtight, the third–floor lab is secure, yet the moment you arrive, the zombie virus breaks out. Don’t you think you owe us an explanation?”
The accusation stunned the room.
What the is he saying we planted the virus?
“Second–in–command, be careful with your words,” one of them warned. “You could damage the relationship between our three camps.”
“You’re capable of something like this, but you’re worried about me damaging relations?” The second–in- command slapped down a thick stack of reports and evidence.
They showed images and logs proving the Ark Camp Three research lab was clean, the gates were secure, and no one had entered or exited except the visiting delegations. Every bit of data pointed straight at the outsiders. Even the visitors themselves could see how bad it looked.
“We had neither the motive nor the opportunity!” a man from Ark Camp Two insisted. “We stepped off the helicopter and went straight to the rooms you assigned us. We stayed there the whole time under your supervision. All our movements are accounted for. We couldn’t have planted anything. You can’t pin this on us.”
“What are you saying?” Morgan’s head lifted sharply. “That if your camp had no chance, then Ark Camp One must have done it?”
Realizing too late how it sounded, the Ark Camp Two delegate’s eyes flickered. In a moment like this, Morgan was still technically their ally. Accusing him directly would be reckless.
Then his gaze shifted to the woman at Morgan’s side. “Wait… isn’t she the same young lady who came to our camp last time? The one with the dog?”
Morgan glanced at Theresa. “Mm.”
“I remember you saying she wasn’t/from Ark Camp One–just a friend you brought along?”
“That’s right. She’s from KI Camp”
The name landed heavily. Everyone in the room knew it.
So, she’s from K1 Camp …
The Ark Camp Two man’s eyes lit up. “I believe Ark Camp One wouldn’t do something like this, but this

young lady from K1 Camp is far too suspicious. After you were settled in, you even took her to tour Ark Camp Three.”
“Ark Camp Two…” Morgan’s voice was edged with warning.
“Think about it–our three camps are supposed to stand together. She arrives, and suddenly the zombie virus breaks out. If not her, then who? I trust you, but I’ll never trust her. Kl Camp is definitely hiding something.”
Morgan’s brows drew together beneath his mask, but he stayed silent.
Just then…
“Your mother’s the one with a problem!” Theresa kicked a foot up onto the table and let loose. “You think you’re clever, trying to change the subject? You say the outbreak started when I arrived–weren’t you here too? Or do you not count as a person?
“You’ve been acting brain–dead since I met you, but now I see it’s because that lump on your neck isn’t a head, it’s a tumor! Even a tumor would make more sense than that garbage logic. Me, planting the virus? Sure–only if I had the same polio–brain–paralysis–idiot combo you’ve got!”
“You!” The Ark Camp Two delegate went pale with rage, nearly choking on his own breath.
How can someone talk like this? Everyone at this table is supposed to be dignified …
When he finally caught his breath, his voice was sharp. “I was only suspicious before, but now I’m certain- it was Kl Camp! You couldn’t stand to see us prosper, so you sabotaged us!”
Theresa lifted her eyes, smiling lazily. “Tell me, little idiot… did you forget about the time your camp sold a fake inhibitor for a fortune?”
The man froze mid–retort.
She went on. “If I wanted to plant a virus, I’d have to bring it with me. But your camp? You’ve already had the perfect delivery system–and it worked.”,
The room fell silent, so still one could hear a pin drop.
She’s right – the zombie virus inhibitor …
There had been debate over whether it worked at all, but after an accident in Ark Camp Two, their camp leader had used one and still died. That had left them with no way to confirm whether the inhibitor was effective… or whether it was something else entirely.
