Everyone climbed back into their trucks, with Sparrow taking the lead.
His military-grade armored truck bulldozed through the zombies that came their way, leaving the opposing party in their dust. frёeωebɳovel.com
Even if they wanted to pursue Sparrow and his team, they were at a disadvantage; their trucks were only regular trailers that had been hastily reinforced with some modifications like sturdier bumpers and blades on the sides to fend off the attacking zombies.
However, none of that could compare to Sparrow’s military vehicle, which boasted superior defense and a powerful engine.
They could only glare at Sparrow’s retreating convoy with a mix of envy and frustration, unwilling to accept this outcome so easily.
Defeated, they returned to their shelter, realizing they had achieved nothing.
The time spent talking to Sparrow now felt like a waste; they should have seized the moment when they saw him and simply ransacked his trucks once they were done.
Even without any supplies inside, the military vehicles would have given them a significant advantage for navigating the city with greater ease.
Sparrow, however, brushed off the encounter as inconsequential to his mission and the people he had brought with him.
In fact, he was fully prepared to eliminate anyone who failed to recognize the gravity of the situation and backed down.
The opposing party was fortunate that their leader was sensible enough to de-escalate the situation; otherwise, Sparrow would have had no qualms about taking drastic action.
Little did the members of that faction know, their leader had just saved their lives.
Instead, they were already scheming to defect from his faction, leaving behind only a handful of truly loyal followers.
Sparrow and his team made their way back to the base. Although they faced some delays, their return was still within the expected timeframe.
Meanwhile, Kisha allowed Vulture to take the lead with his team while she remained close to the warriors, ensuring to replenished their stamina and spiritual energy at the right moments when needed.
The newly joined survivors quickly settled into the roles they were most familiar with.
The Evans’ former bodyguard integrated into the warrior group, where he was astonished to discover the existence of superhumans.
Witnessing their awakened abilities was a mind-boggling experience for him and the other newcomers.
They were equally surprised by how relaxed everyone seemed within the base, as if they didn’t have a care in the world about the zombies lurking outside or the uncertain future of their supplies.
To them, it felt like they had stumbled upon a paradise in the midst of a barren desert—an oasis still in the early stages of development.
Although the base lacked a stable water supply and electricity, these issues were far from their minds.
The presence of ample food and drinkable water at the Supply Center overshadowed any concerns they might have had.
Instead of the gloom and negativity that might have surrounded the base due to their lives turning upside down in a single day, the residents exuded an air of resilience and determination, eagerly looking forward to the future.
Kisha herself was unaware of the significant impact she now had on the survivors of her base.
Perhaps it was because she had built a sturdy wall around her heart and mind after enduring past betrayals, allowing only a select few inside.
However, the former bodyguard of the Evans family could clearly see the change. Everyone appeared resilient and strong-minded, like hardy grass thriving by the side of the road.
Given the way their City Lord worked and strategized, the survivors believed she had already devised plans to address the deficiencies in the base.
Even though they hadn’t heard her outline these plans, they had faith in her capabilities and in the leaders of each department.
