Chapter 82: Vive la révolution

Perimeter of the Safe Zone, the Mayor was not in the best of moods. In fact, he was slightly panicking. After all, he had lost half of his awakened soldiers in the battle.

That was a serious blow, but what was worse was the fact that the remaining blood crystals were stolen from beneath his own eyes. He had no idea which of his aides had taken them, or what they planned to do with them.

But if the blood crystals got out into the general population, it would cause issues. Not only would a large number of infected suddenly appear within the safety of the walls. But they would also have an unknown number of awakened lying low in the shadows.

What they would do with their newfound abilities, the Mayor did not know, but he suspected the people would turn their anger against him. After all, he kept the lion's share of provisions for himself and his administration.
