Ivy remained busy throughout the next month.
Her entire focus was on expanding the base.
Overpopulation was becoming a growing concern, and she knew that if things continued this way, the pressure might trigger riots.
Annie had already reported that several groups had begun murmuring about staging a revolt.
Ivy felt a cold weight settle in her chest.
If a riot breaks out, everything will collapse. Order, safety, resources… it would spiral too quickly.
So the next morning, she began executing her expansion plan.
The first step was clearing zombies from the surrounding areas.
Although she had done this before, it needed to be repeated to widen the livable perimeter.
She brought both her squad and the military unit with her.
It was surprisingly quick. Within six hours, the forces had cleared over ten thousand square meters of land.
Once the area was secure, Ivy ordered both soldiers and civilians to retreat a good distance away.
