บท 138: The Estate

Meanwhile, after Shane, their indomitable leader, was summoned to the Regional Auction Event, the air in the estate was somehow filled with tension.

After about an hour, everyone who had left the estate to forage, mine, or hunt had already returned… There were no more outside tasks to ensure everyone's safety while Shane wasn't here yet. After all, Shane was still considered the strongest person in the estate.

Without him, the estate's defenses would weaken by a huge percentage.

Lucas, whose military past was etched into the lines of his face and the way he carried his revolver, patrolled the orchard with a calm yet prepared movement...

His eyes scanned the walls, making sure that they were all in good condition. He also listened carefully in case Jumper Zombies came and passed through them.

Of course, he also silently prayed that the only intruders for now would be the occasional stray bird or the rustling leaves carried by the wind.
