章 69: Gathering the Troops

"Sophia, what brings you here?" Vicky asked in surprise as she opened the door after hearing the knock, stepping out from the kitchen.

Sophia's face was full of bitterness. She didn't know how to explain the situation.

"Come on in quickly." urged Irving.

The meal was already prepared. While eating, Sophia briefly recounted the attack she experienced on the way and her subsequent encounter with Irving, including details about the military's constructed safe zone.

Since both of them now belonged to Irving's shelter, there was no reason to hold back any information.

"Those bastards are truly despicable." Vicky muttered. She had thought her own experiences were bad enough, but hearing Sophia's story brought a flash of sympathy to her eyes. "So, Sophia, what are your plans now?"

Sophia didn't answer directly. Instead, she looked toward Irving.

Irving shook his head helplessly.
