Zombie Domination

The shelter, once devastated by the werewolf coup, had transformed into a thriving haven. The survivors here had steadily rebuilt, developing technologies to make life easier and adapting to the harsh, ruined world outside.

Though things now felt almost normal, the pain of their past still lingered. Many could not forget the anguish of losing their old lives in the blink of an eye.

Then, a commotion stirred at the front gate.

Several vehicles pulled up, dusty and rugged from travel. A group of people stepped out, demanding entry and wishing to ask some questions. The guards, alert and cautious, responded that they would first need to check with their superiors.

After a tense wait, the gates opened partially. One of the guards stepped forward and said firmly, "If you want to enter, you’ll need to surrender your weapons. It’s protocol, for everyone’s safety."

The visitors protested, understandably.

"These weapons are for protection. We can’t just give them up."

But the guards stood their ground. "Rules are rules. No weapons inside. If your intentions are good, you’ll have nothing to worry about."

Eventually, the group relented and placed their weapons in the collection crate.

As they were allowed entry, the leader of the group stepped forward, a young-looking man with sharp features. His blond hair shimmered under the daylight, though it was clearly dyed. His eyes, however, were a deep, unnatural black, calm yet unreadable.

With a slow, confident pace, the blonde man entered the shelter alongside his companions.

As they walked further into the settlement, the group observed the bustling life around them. People here had clearly adapted well to their new reality, houses had been built, small shops sold food and supplies.
