Chapter 3 Hoarding Supplies

As Theresa examined her surroundings, her attention shifted to the remnants of barbed wire fencing stretching along the tunnel’s exterior. Though much of it had crumbled into ruin, a plan formed in her mind. If she could restore the fencing and connect it to a power source, the security of her bunker would be elevated to an entirely new level! This was a challenge worth tackling! Just then, a familiar voice resonated in her consciousness. “Ultimate Leader System activated! Reinforce your base. Rewards will be granted based on the extent of fortification! Countdown—15 days!” She froze briefly, her mind racing as the words sank in. Just as she began to focus on the task ahead, another alert from the system interrupted her thoughts. ‘Ding! One base war dog detected. Reward! Combat abilities and physical attributes of the war dog increased by 100 times!’ She stood in awe as Summer’s body underwent a dramatic transformation before her eyes. His frame expanded, muscles rippling with newfound strength. His claws and teeth elongated into deadly weapons, gleaming with a sharpness that could slice through steel. The frailty of old age melted away, replaced by the commanding presence of a fierce predator radiating raw power. Woof! Woof!
