The sun already had gone to sleep, bringing the third night of the apocalypse world. Compared to the nights of normal times, the nights of the apocalypse were far more dangerous as mutant beasts and zombies became more active during the night times. Since the humans and most demi-humans cannot see in the night's darkness, it made it easier for Mutant beasts and zombies to attack.
The outside world was experiencing far more difficulties than the ones living in east fox city. However, there were still people who continued to hide for 3 straight days and now had reached their limit. Unlike cultivators, normal humans cannot live without food and water. This was especially true for the slaves and peasants living in the slum.
.
The condition of the warrior faction was much better than any other faction in the city. The fences which blocked the narrow streets kept the zombies away. This allowed the people of the Warrior faction to go out and get some fresh air. It was getting suffocating staying in the underground shelter for 3 straight days.
Under the new reforms and rules that Aleesia created things were getting even better for the Warrior faction. With each passing second, the strength of each individual belonging to the Warrior faction was increasing.
.
Since women were no longer restricted, With Aleesia's new and personal maid, Maria led them thousands of women have come out to kill zombies to raise their levels. Even the young ones of the faction were given chances to kill low-level zombies so that even the young ones would have the strength to protect themselves in case of danger.
For the weak elderly people or the children, Aleesia ordered the other evolvers to help them in leveling up. So under the watch of thousands of high-leveled evolvers, non of the elders or children were harmed when killing zombies.
Of course, there were some issues of ordinary people being scared to even stand in front of zombies. Since the number wasn't that big, Aleesia didn't force them to kill zombies.
.
After having dinner, the atmosphere of the whole base changed from gloomy to happy. Aleesia had put 1,500 evolvers to guard the borders lines of the base. After every 4 hours, another 1,500 evolvers were going to replace the other evolvers and keep guarding the borders.
Aleesia also didn't bother stopping people from roaming around the base. She only forbade anyone from going past the border lines.
"Now the issue of food supplies has been solved."
.
Aleesia was starting to regret taking over the Warrior base. Ever since she took over the base, she has been working non-stop. She had to separate evolvers into specific groups and deal with food storage, sanitary issues, and many other issues.
"Milady, counting the total number of women who participated in hunting zombies and will be doing tomorrow as well, my guess is out of 19,000 survivors, by the end of tomorrow, we would have 17,000 to 18,000 evolvers in our base." While working, Aleesia found that Maria had a natural talent for being a maid. In just a short time, even though this was her first time working as a Maid, Maria was doing things like a professional even though she made a few small mistakes which are negligible.
With Maria's help, Aleesia was able to deal with things much quicker than she had expected.
.
Hearing Maria's report, Aleesia stopped writing and looked at Maria. Aleesia still did not completely trust Maria. She was constantly testing Maria without even her knowing to see if this girl was loyal to her.
"With this big force, before the monster outbreak happens, we should be able to clear all the zombies from the north of the slum." While speaking, Aleesia wondered how things were going at the Mutant Base that she and Isaac left behind.
"Milady, I think you're underestimating the power of 17,000 evolvers even though most of their levels are around 9 to 15."
.
"The zombies that we encountered today, except a few of them almost 99% of them were level 1. I dare say that if the evolvers push hard enough, then we can clear all the zombies in the northern slum just within two days." Since Aleesia never lived in the slum she didn't have much knowledge about this area as well.
Putting her palms under her chin while resting her elbows on the table, Aleesia signaled her unofficial maid to continue. "I have lived in the northern part of the slum for my entire life. I know the population, the terrain, the atmosphere, and the secret routes of this place. Compared to the three parts of the slum, the north is not that populated. Most of the population lived in the south, east, and west."
.
"Since evolvers of this base have been killing zombies for 3 days now, the number of zombies must have dropped a lot. We just need a final push to clear out the entire place." It was true that the number of zombies in this part of the slum was not that many when compared to the south or west part of the slum.
Aleesia saw no flaws or holes in Maria's words. 'Isaac's attack killed all the zombies in the east part. So if we can clear this part by tomorrow, with the evolvers living in the western base and the evolvers from the Mutant faction, before the monster outbreak I should be able to clear out all the zombies of the slum.' Just thinking of this possibility, Aleesia's eyes shined brightly. It was as if her cold dead eyes had returned to life. Maria could clearly see the shine in her master's eyes.
.
"Maria, you should stop now and take a rest."
"But Milady..."
"No But. This is an order. The next few days will be tough times. We you don't rest well, you won't able to keep up. Also, let all the evolvers of the base know that tomorrow we will be moving out."
"Yes, milady." After bowing her head to Aleesia, Maria left the room.
"Alright, let's start this operation. Mission: - Zombie Over Kill."
.
'Finally, there is some hope for this city.' When Isaac told Aleesia and Zeno about conquering and taking over the entire city and then defend the city from the monster outbreak, both Zeno and Aleesia felt it was an impossible dream. Both of them gave up knowing that there was no way Isaac could ever take the entire city under his control within 5 days.
If it was her father the person whom she hated the most had said these words, then Aleesia would have believed him. As even though Aleesia hates to admit it, her father had the power to unify this city. As for getting rid of all the zombies, Aleesia wasn't sure if even her father could do that.
Then there was Isaac, a prince who only had a few evolvers. Even though the plan was unachievable, both Aleesia and Zeno followed Isaac. Aleesia mainly did it because she wanted to use this chaos to get her hands on the person that she hated the most.
.
Fate is really a strange thing. It can even make the impossible a possible thing. Aleesia had no hope when she came to this part of the slum. But her hopes were reignited after becoming the leader of this base.
"Isaac, I hope you will do your part and leave that man's life in my hands. Because before the end of the 4th day, I should have the slum clean."

Scene change____
Achoo!!!
"Your highness, did you catch a cold?" Zeno asked with a concerned look.
"Of course not. How could someone who is Peak First-order catch something common and weak as cold? I think you're just overreacting." While rubbing his nose, Isaac sighed. This whole day he has seen how over-caring his future general Zeno was.
"What did you say, you stupid witch?" Zeno angrily glared at Sasha.
"Who are you calling stupid witch, you muscle head?" Sasha angrily replied back.
"What did you say?"
.
"Shut up." Both Zeno and Sasha immediately shut their mouths.
Sigh!
"Sasha, use your spell on him." Currently, in front of Isaac, there was an unconscious man lying on the floor. The man was about 55 years old and he was wearing a white robe around his body. He had the aura of nobility around him even though he was unconscious. This man was the hidden leader of the Principality of the people faction.
'When you have a third-order witch in your team, finding a lowly second-order leader is super easy.' Using only one-star illusion spells, the team sneaked into the faction and took away their leader right under their nose.
.
'Well, there were some second-order evolvers managed to see through the illusion spell, Isaac quickly silenced them. Since Sasha is a witch, not an illusion specialist, her illusion spells were only one-star.'
Mind controlling Puppet!
A special type of spell known only by witches. This spell allows the user to control a lower-order being with a weak mind to be controlled by a higher-order witch. Sasha never used this spell. This was the first time she was using this kind of spell.
