"Release."

A cloud of white feathers burst into the air. One hundred twenty chickens tumbled out onto the grass behind the tunnel, flapping their wings and clucking in confusion.

"Release."

The two little goats dropped down next. They shook their heads, looked around, and started chewing on the nearest bush like nothing had happened.

Maple sat beside me and watched with her ears up. One brave chicken walked right up to her and pecked her paw. Maple jumped back and hid behind my legs.

I laughed.

    I didn't go back to sleep.I sat on the edge of my bed with the radio in my hand and waited. Elese Harlow's voice didn't come back. Only soft static filled the room.A botanist.I thought about the farm behind the tunnel. The god-tier soil made my crops grow fast. June's plant power made them grow even faster. But June was old, and her power was small.If this Elese really knows plants, and if she has an ability like June's but stronger...Then when she joins my camp, I'll get her power too.I stood up and started getting dressed.I need someone who can make food grow even faster. Someone like her.---The sky was still gray when I knocked on Wade's door.He opened it with messy hair and one sock on. "Zora? What's wrong?""Get dressed," I said. "We're leaving in ten minutes.""Where are we going?""Calloway University. We're picking someone up."He blinked twice. Then he nodded and closed the door. Nine minutes later, he was standing by the armored car with his gun on his belt and his

    The sun was going down when we drove back through the gate of Coldbrook Ridge.The armored car was covered in dust, dents, and dried zombie blood. The dogs in the back were tired and quiet. Wade leaned against the window with his eyes half closed.I sat in the passenger seat with the giant gleamstone in my lap. Even inside my closed hand, its green light leaked out between my fingers.As soon as the car stopped, I jumped out and walked to the middle of the yard.I opened my hand and looked at the stone one more time."Exchange."The stone glowed brighter and brighter until I had to squint. Then it disappeared.*Ding.**[Level 2 gleamstone detected. Exchange successful.]**[Reward: 2,000 points.]*I let out a long breath. *Two thousand points from just one stone.*Behind me, Wade climbed out of the car and stretched. He didn't see the blue screen. To him, it just looked like the stone had vanished into thin air.He raised an eyebrow. "Where did it go?""Somewhere safe," I said.He open

    *BOOM.*The far end of the overpass exploded upward in a cloud of dust and broken concrete. Something huge climbed up over the edge.It was a zombie. But not like any normal zombie.It was almost twice as tall as a man. Its gray skin was stretched tight over giant, swollen muscles. Thick bony spikes stuck out of its shoulders and back. Its jaw hung open, full of long, yellow teeth.It let out a roar so loud that the windows of the nearby cars shattered."Damn it!" I shouted. "A Level 2 mutant zombie!"*In my past life, these didn't show up until months after the outbreak. Why is one here already?*The monster slammed its fist down on a car. The roof crumpled like paper."Fall back!" I yelled. "Forget the tanker! We're getting out of here!""I've got it, Zora!" Wade shouted. He was already running toward the half-full tanker. "You drive! I'll hook up the trailer!"*Stupid idiot.*He didn't know I had already stored the two full tankers in my system. The half-full one wasn't worth riski

    Nikolai looked at me for a long, silent moment. His gray eyes were hard as steel."Zora," he said slowly, "I'll pay back what I owe you. But I will never leave my brother behind.""And nobody takes what belongs to me," I said.He reached into his backpack and pulled out the leather pouch again."One hundred twenty gleamstones," he said. "I'll bring them to you within a month.""No way."His jaw tightened. "Twelve hundred, then! Twelve hundred!"The soldiers gasped. Toby's mouth fell open. Twelve hundred gleamstones was a fortune, enough to buy food for a whole camp for months.I didn't even blink."No amount will work," I said.Nikolai took a step closer to me. The air between us felt tight, like a rope about to snap."Captain."Wade stepped forward and put a hand on Nikolai's arm."This is my own choice," Wade said quietly. "I want to stay."Nikolai turned and looked at him. For the first time, his hard face cracked a little."Is this really what you want?" he asked.Wade nodded. "I'

    "For honor!" Toby said, slapping his hand on the table. "That's why! We fight for honor!"I laughed. It wasn't a nice laugh."Honor?" I said. "Honor, my foot."Toby's face went red."Charging around out there like fools," I went on. "Throwing your lives away with nobody left to bury you. Then crawling up to a stranger's gate like stray dogs, begging for food and shelter." I tilted my head. "Is *that* honor?"Nobody said anything."Your Haven-1 Camp can't even promise that you'll be alive tomorrow," I said. "But if you follow me, you'll eat meat at every meal. Nobody will give you orders. And if someone makes you angry, you can shoot them."The soldiers stared at me. Hank opened his mouth, then closed it again. Toby looked down at his plate."Ma'am," a deep voice said behind me. "I appreciate the offer."Every head turned toward the tunnel.A tall man stood in the doorway, leaning one hand against the stone wall. His dark hair was messy, and his face was still a little pale. But his gr

    I walked slowly around the three trucks, looking at everything. Canned food. Water. Medicine. Blankets. Even a few boxes of batteries.*Not bad. Not bad at all.*I turned around to face the soldiers. They were standing in a line, covered in dust, waiting."Nice work," I said. "Everyone gets an extra serving of meat tonight.""Hell yeah!" Reese punched the air.The others cheered and slapped each other on the back.Toby put a hand over his heart and sniffed loudly. He wiped a fake tear from his eye."I never thought I'd live long enough to see Zora be generous for once."I turned and looked at him. "Shut your mouth. You're not eating tonight."Toby's face dropped. "Oh, come on!" He held up both hands. "You're a queen, all right? A queen!"I raised an eyebrow. "Say it louder. What did you call me?"Toby took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs."My queen!"The other soldiers laughed so hard that Hank had to lean on the truck.I nodded, satisfied. "Better. Now, unload the t
