Chapter 700

Miranda Steele’s eyes went wide, like she was hearing a fairy tale. “You serious?”

“I am,” Laurel said quickly. “You’ve got to believe me. I’m not making this up. Things are stable out there now. Inside Haylig League’s territory, there isn’t a single zombie. People are friendly. No one’s going hungry. It’s like heaven! You should come with me. Join us and actually live well.”

She was still going on when a sharp voice cut through

“Enough!”

Kieran stepped in, his face dark. He pulled Miranda aside and fixed Laurel with a hard look. “I haven’t even dealt with you two sneaking out, and you’re already here spreading nonsense?”

Laurel and Felix both fell silent.

“He’s usually fair. He doesn’t just go around hurting people. But the inner camp… That’s his line.”

“Why is he so protective of it?” Hayley asked. “Do they have some kind of agreement?”

Laurel and Felix both nodded.

“Yeah. The inner camp lets us live here, but the first rule is we don’t enter their territory or disturb them. I cross in thes restricted zone, they’ll drive us out. Kieran wants to stay here. He’ll never allow anyone to mess with the ins
