“Kyle!”
Graham and Dave lit up the moment they saw the two of them following behind.
“How are you guys doing?” Kyle asked.
“We’re alright. What about you?”
Kyle glanced sideways at Theresa. “Doing great.”

Graham and Dave didn’t miss the tone–or the look. If he was with Theresa, of course, he was doing great.
The two of them couldn’t help feeling just a little jealous.
Yeah… following Theresa wasn’t a bad deal at all.
“What are you doing here?” Theresa asked as she walked with them toward the last row of office spaces.
On both sides were doors tightly shut, all leading to locked offices. Through the glass walls, one could see all kinds of precision instruments inside.
“Sorry, that’s classified,” Graham said.
Theresa blinked. “Alright then.”
Well, at least they were being professional.
Graham suddenly leaned in close and whispered, “But Theresa, between you and me, when we pull out, stick close to us. Don’t linger in here. This place is dangerous. It’ll trigger a self–destruct protocol!”
Theresa was surprised.
She turned to look at him, but by then Graham had already straightened up, back to his cold, by–the–book self.
Theresa stared at his stiff posture and tight–lipped face, then burst out laughing. She reached up and rubbed the helmet on his 6–foot–1 frame with a firm, playful hand.
“Got it. I’ll remember.”
Graham was startled.
She touched his head.
Didn’t she know she was not supposed to mess with a guy’s head like that?
He hesitated for a beat, then picked up his pace to catch up with the group.
They continued the search for about an hour.

They swept the entire left side of the level—no luck.
The only good news was
that there weren’t any zombies on the second basement level.
Lucas glanced at his watch. “Everyone, take a 30–minute break here.”
“Yes, sir!”

They’d left the camp at 3:00 a.m. to carry out this mission, and the toll had been heavy. A rest was more than welcome.
Once Lucas gave the order, the team quickly broke off into two groups to rest.
Theresa stayed with Graham’s team. Malcolm, Victor, and Sebastian also gathered around.
“Theresa!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
All three greeted her warmly.
“So, how’s it been since you left? Not as good as with me, huh?” Theresa teased with a grin.
Everyone chuckled sheepishly.
She wasn’t wrong.
When they barely made it back to camp alive, they weren’t met with honors or praise–but a whole new order.
The K1 Camp had undergone a major overhaul. The military division was dissolved and restructured. Everyone was reassigned as camp guards–no longer military personnel. If it hadn’t been for Lucas, their captain, they might’ve been scattered to who knew where.
Theresa had warned them: this was the age of camps. Their glory days were over.
She’d been right.
If not for Lucas, they wouldn’t even know who they were serving anymore.
And life in the camp? It had gone downhill fast. Food alone didn’t compare to the meals they used to get with Theresa.
“Come get your rations,” came Lucas‘ voice from nearby.
Lucas stood next to Monica. She wasn’t carrying anything at all. Then she held out her palm–and just like that, supplies materialized in her hand.
Theresa’s eyebrows lifted slightly. So, Monica had a space–based ability.
After unloading the supplies, Monica shot Theresa a smug look. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ.net

Theresa met her gaze, lips curling in a faint smile. Monica instantly turned away, cowed, and didn’t try to provoke her again.
A moment later, Graham and the others brought over their supplies.
Five boxed meals, still steaming.
It looked like the KI Camp had prepared them just before departure.
“Theresa, you always shared your food with us. Today, you eat ours. Let’s all dig in together!”
“Yeah, let’s share.”
The five of them placed the boxed meals in the center and peeled back the lids.
Inside was a hearty cabbage stew glistening with fat, and two pieces of soda bread.
If one looked closely, one could spot two thin slices of pork floating in the stew.
