Chapter 192: "The Silent Claim"
Ryo's smirk deepened as he glanced over his shoulder at Sayako,the female zombie, who stood motionless yet attentive, her loyalty evident in her unwavering posture. The morning sun cast a faint glow across the desolate landscape, but Ryo's focus was entirely on her.
With a purposeful stride, he led her down the path away from the main house, to a smaller structure tucked just beyond the edge of his well-guarded territory. This house, long unused since the harsh winter months when it once housed his Strider horde, now stood empty, its walls echoing faint memories of past survival tactics.
Pushing the door open, Ryo stepped inside, the creak of the hinges breaking the silence. Sayako followed without hesitation, her movements fluid and precise, a testament to the power and agility she possessed.
