There was something subtle about this feeling.
To Theresa, he was the closest person she had.

In this apocalyptic world, the two of them were truly relying on each other. They were each other’s support system.
If she placed him so high in her heart, then it only made sense that, moving forward, he’d become the most important person to her as well.
Just then, Theresa whistled at Summer, who was gnawing on a bone. “Summer, come here! Time to issue ID tags!”
“Woof woof woof!” Summer dropped the bone and ran over.
Theresa pulled out a pre–strung ID tag and slipped it into the slot on Summer’s tactical vest, tying a small knot to secure it.
The number on it was bold and clear: 001.
Kyle blinked. “Wait. Summer’s 001? ”
“What else would he be?”
“Then–what number are you, Theresa?”
“I’m 000.”
Kyle thought, Seriously? There’s a 000?
He had clearly underestimated her creativity./
Theresa didn’t stop there. She issued ID tags to all her dogs.
From 003 through 017, each one got a custom dog tag with the Blazing Sun Camp insignia, tucked neatly into the slots of their combat gear.
To Theresa, her dogs were no different from people. They were her comrades–in–arms.
In fact, they were even more trustworthy than most people.
They had to be registered as part of Blazing Sun Camp.
Two days flew by.
Theresa had spent both days fully absorbed in the camp’s development.
Building and managing a camp was a complex, frustrating process–especially in the early stages.
She had to provide residents with access to clean water, reliable electricity, and basic supplies.

Before, it was just David’s family. Their needs were minimal, they could make do and wait. But with more people moving in and forming a small village, the basics of day–to–day life had to be addressed.
Theresa installed 100 solar panels–rewards she had earned earlier in the residential zone.
This gave the residents a stable and continuous power supply. Newest update provıded by.net
Electricity for the whole area? Checked off the list.
Now, if anything went wrong, they could just call the bunker instead of making Yuki run back and forth every time.
As for water, the area was still connected to the local utility company, but David’s family had previously relied on rain collection. With more residents, rainwater alone wasn’t going to cut it.
Theresa organized everyone to dig a well, tapping into the same underground water system her bunker used.
Her water system had been enhanced through the system and was completely safe.
With power and water secured–two major components of basic infrastructure–residents‘ loyalty to Theresa soared. Their sense of belonging increased as well.
Life under Theresa was clearly headed in the right direction.
Next came resource exchange.
Theresa’s manpower was stretched thin, and sending people out for trades was a waste of labor. She set up a market system for the camp. Outside of basic essentials, on the 1st and 15th of each month, she would personally come to host a market day where everyone could freely buy and trade goods.
For rare or specialty items, residents could contact Yuki to arrange a trade at her bunker.
No one was allowed into her territory–ever.
To help, Theresa even got the young girl a small bicycle.
In this new world, everyone had to contribute to production, even kids. Children were a valuable part of the labor force now.
She also exempted Yuki from taxes, treating it as her wage–definitely not child exploitation.
In a world starved of resources, everyone had to pull their weight.
Back in Theresa’s previous life, small camps treated kids like adults and adults like slaves. No one cared about protecting children or the elderly. If someone couldn’t work, the camp would kick them out without a second thought.
There was no room for dead weight.
Kids had to work too.
But if outsiders could see how industrious the people in Blazing Sun Camp were, they’d be banging down the gates to get in.

Other camps had already descended into chaos.

Flooded with refugees, running out of food and resources, most people couldn’t even figure out how to earn a single meal.
Meanwhile, in Blazing Sun Camp, the kids had jobs, earned points, and even got incentives. It was practically paradise–a sanctuary in the apocalypse.
Under Theresa’s guidance, the land around the residential area had been cultivated. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other fast–growing, high–yield crops were already planted.
Everyone had started working in earnest. The camp had officially moved into the next phase of development.
Blazing Sun Camp’s prosperity level jumped by 30.
The Rustic Village was starting to look like a real, functioning community.
Once the crops started producing and people had more to trade, that prosperity level would only keep rising.
