Chapter 264: Monsters In The Darkness
Gideon led the way down the road with his team surrounding us as an official ’escort’. I didn’t know why everyone was so hyped up on supplies, but I guess not everyone could live on lollypops like I could.

I took one out of my space, only for Chang Xuefeng to snatch it out of my hand before I could open it. "Luca," he snapped, throwing my candy to where Luca was walking beside Gideon. "She needs something proper to eat."
"Daddy!" I complained, letting out a loud huff. "You’re not being nice."
"I have some beef jerky," announced Gideon, reaching into one of his pants pockets to pull out a ziplock back of... something.
"It’s from 2120," he continued. "So it might be a bit old, but it’s still good." As if to emphasize his point, he picked a piece out and bit into it. He had to tear it a bit with his teeth, but eventually, he got a piece.
"No, thank you," I quickly said, leaning as far away from the thing in his hand. "I’ll stick to my lollypops."
"You said 2120," murmured Luca, his eyes narrowing on Gideon. "What year is it?"
"You don’t know?" sneered the man beside Gideon. "It’s 2124. We’ve been at war with the zombies for four years now."
