He daded over to her, checking her up and down. “Honey, you okay? 

“Your axe is seriously badass? 

Phantom Zombie pouted, clearly annoyed. 

Jagger was taken aback, and Chloe and the rest were just as shocked. 

Wait a minute, Phantom Zombie actually has feelings now? And she’s pouting? Is she being sarcastic? everyone thought. floored. 

Jagger suddenly burst out laughing, pulled Phantom Zombie into his arms, and spun her around a few times. 

“Oh, honey, You’re mad. Oh, my wife actually knows how to get mad now,” he teased. 

Phantom Zombie’s face stayed icy cold, but the corners of her mouth curled up ever so slightly. 

Suddenly, there was a loud splash. 

Triggered by the smell of their buddy’s blood, a swarm of Green Waterfiends crawled out of the water, rushing straight at the humans. 

With all the top dogs hanging around the base, they’d been starving for so long. 

They figured they were doomed anyway, so they might as well go out fighting. 

Chloe’s pupils constricted as she locked eyes with those blood–red lantern–sized pupils. 

She thought, ‘Damn, they’re all mutant beasts above level five. 

‘No surprise. Wherever there’s energy, everything, plants or animals, evolves at lightning speed. 

Seeing their strength, Chloe simply chose not to get involved this time. 

“Filip, Chiara, these Waterfiends are all yours,” she said. 

The two kids eagerly geared up, their faces lit up with excitement. They’d never fought such high–level mutant beasts on their own before. 

Chiara spread her arms wide, and a giant water net crackling with electricity appeared, snaring the charging Waterfiends. 

Thunder crackled overhead, frying Waterfiends on the spot.

The water sizzled with electricity. 

in no time, the lake crackled and countless fints and shrimp flipper belly–up, fried by the wrze 

And then came Green Waterbend–hundreds of massive, lizard–ke monsters, each easily weighing a hundred too, all floating lifeless to the surface 

Chiara clapped her hands in deligja 

“Chloe, are these big guys safe to eat?” she asked. 

Filip rolled his eyes and gave Chiara a playful flick on the forehead. 

“You’re such a little glutton, he teased 

Chiara stuck out her tongue. “Food’s so rare these days. No way I’m letting anything edible slip by. 

Chloe dissected a Waterfiend with her ice blade and was thrilled to find the meat was actually edible. 

“Frank, grab some folks and fish these Waterfiend bodies out of the lake. They’re only level five, but their hides are crazy tough, perfect for making armor, she said. 

She pushed her blade in a bit deeper and dug out a bone. 

“This bone is ridiculously hard, almost as tough as my own weapons. We’ll forge them into gear and make sure everyone at the base gets one,” she added. 

These days, all those old blades and swords were basically useless in a fight. They wouldn’t even leave a scratch on anything. Sure, they were fine with chopping up meat in the kitchen, but in battle? They’d shatter in seconds. 

“Alright, Frank replied. 

Jagger hurried forward, eager. “So, what should I do?” 

Chloe looked over toward a nearby spot. “You’ve got a more important job. 

“I remember you had a good few dozen guys back at Blaze Haven.” 

Jagger nodded in response. 

“Take your crew and push our borders–just stick to the tasks I assigned you earlier, and leave the Botanic Gardens alone for 

now,” Chloe instructed. 

“Got it!” Jagger answered.

Even though the air was so hot it felt like one could evaporate in the beat, everyone was still working the reary 

As long as they weren’t baking under the direct sun, they could tough it out 

Blaze Haven still didn’t have enough people, and Chloe tried several times to convince everyone not to come out work

With no other choice and unable to watch the survivors she’d worked so hard to save collapse from the beat, Calor didn’t hesitate, 

She dragged out all the icebergs they’d stockpiled over the winter and set them up right inside the stade structure 

At noon, they’d hand out free edible ice cubes and chilled watermelon to everyone, 

Jagger brought some great news these past few days. He’d claimed several new territories, and the base’s perimeter had grown by half again. 

Ten days later. 

Jagger showed up with another batch of survivors. This time, the biggest haul yet, more than 200 people. 

Every single one of them looked sallow and gaunt, eyes hollow, filthy from head to toe, as if something straight out of a disaster zone. 

Their clothes were torn and didn’t fit, skin exposed and covered in a layer of mud, faces so dark with grime that others could only see their eyes shining through. 

It turned out that was their trick to keep the bugs away. 

As soon as they stepped into Blaze Haven, some looked nervous, some were downright terrified, some stared off into space, and a few shifty–eyed types were already sizing up the place with greedy looks. 

All sorts showed up.

Chloe thought Guess it’s finally time to buy a few helicopters 

Wat moer plants taking over the roads, cars were pretty useless now, and helicopters were way faster anyway. 

Even if one posted a car to its limits, it’d still take three or four days to get from Blaze Haven to Bluehaven Base, assuming nothing gox in the way 

For with a helicopter, one would be there in just a few hours. So much easier. 

As Chifor milked by, she caught sight of a sneaky–looking guy lurking outside a window, peering in. Who knew what he was
