Chapter 245 Birth of a New Squad

She hadn’t expected Draven to be that much older. Internally, she was baffled.

en Cecelia’s mouth twitched. She turned and gave him a thumbs–up. “Don’t be modest. You’re genuinely mpressive.”

“Impressive? I had some luck, sure, but my bad luck was even worse! I hadn’t even decided whether to buy a place in the Eastern or Western District when the world ended. Ten million sitting in a bank account- the most useless string of digits on Earth…”

Draven didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. After a moment of gloom, he said to Cecelia and the others, “But hey, my luck’s not use

Draven pointed at Timothy’s identical military SUV running parallel to them.

The passenger window was down.

Hendrick had a cigarette dangling from one hand, elbow resting on the window frame, squinting through the wind toward their vehicle.

Cecelia looked over. “Same objective. They’re our temporary allies. Mike’s crew will probably end up cooperating with them, too.”

If Mike’s team was staying near Sanctum City-

And they all needed to enter the Eastern District; they’d inevitably cross paths.

The more people, the better the odds against a Level 5 or 6 zombie.

This was a tacit understanding shared by every small team in the area.

And the reason for that agreement came down to the way ability users leveled up.

A Level 3 user needed a Level 4 crystal to break through.

A Level 4 user needed a Level 5 crystal.

But at equal levels, one ability user couldn’t take on one mutated zombie alone. Three–on–one was the minimum.

A Level 3 trying to fight a Level 4? Forget it.

Mike’s entire team couldn’t handle a single Level 4.

Even last time, when Hendrick, Matthew, and Ryan–three Level 3s–took on a Level 4, they’d barely scraped through.

If Ivy hadn’t healed them, they’d be dead.

That was pure

luck.

Who could afford to risk their lives like that repeatedly?

And even after the risk, they might not get what they wanted.

Even if Timothy’s entire team hit Level 4, taking down a Level 5 mutated zombie was no guarantee.

Cecelia and Oliver together gave maybe a 50-50 shot, and at the cost of at least one person getting seriously hurt.

Similarly, without Blake joining her team, even three Level 4 ability users would find it difficult to take

down a Level 5 mutated zombie.

So, inter–team cooperation wasn’t just strategic–it was existential.

She’d never been opposed to alliances.

As long as the goals were the same, they could each return to their own units once the objective was met, living in peace.

“Got it.”

Draven grinned. “So it’s like teaming up for a raid in a video game?”

“Exactly.”

It was fundamentally different from being actual teammates.

“Should we give our squad a name?”

Draven looked around, buzzing with enthusiasm. “Something cool. Something that makes people’s jaws drop when they hear it!”

Amber rolled her eyes. “This isn’t a tournament. A name seems unnecessary.”

“I actually think Draven’s got a point.”

Ivy smiled warmly. “It helps set us apart from other teams. If someone asks who we are, we can just say

“Cece, what do you think?”

“Sure.”

Cecelia thought about it. In her past life, Brandon had named his team “Thunder Squad.”

Say what you will about the man–that name did inspire fear.

“How about King Squad? Or The Strongest? Or maybe The Apex?”

Draven rattled off suggestions.

Amber scoffed. “Your naming sense is terrible. Even ‘Boom Squad‘ sounds better than those.”

“Fine, how about Boom Squad, then?”

Draven rubbed his nose. “I’ll be the first to admit I’m bad at this. Let’s hear everyone’s ideas.
