Chapter 168: Chapter 34: New Fears Arise!

The early morning sun cast a soft, golden light over New Haven as the community began to awaken. The battle of the previous night still hung in the air, a lingering tension woven into the quiet conversations and cautious glances shared between townspeople. George felt it too, a weight that couldn't be shaken, an unspoken question that seemed to echo in everyone's minds: What comes next?

After the community meeting and a few more hours of rest, George gathered with Raven, Lucy, Jackie, Akari, Stephanie, and a few other close allies in the main hall. They needed to address what they had encountered and, most importantly, how they could prepare for future threats. New Haven's survival depended not only on their ability to fight but on their capacity to adapt, to anticipate the dangers lurking beyond their walls.
