Chapter 654: Chapter 653: Staying in Treyton’s mansion 4

They also haven’t been going out too often, so even though there were also a lot of zombies in farther areas, they probably hadn’t experienced too much trouble from those, as they weren’t seeing them often, so they were still able to maintain a good mindset.

And according to Ferman’s son, wherever they go out, they were always cautious and would mostly avoid contact with other people unless they were already a bit familiar with them and had seen that they weren’t a threat to them.

They were also often using safer routes and would always find a way to avoid confronting zombies. For example, if they needed to go to the next building or to the upper floor, they would often use ropes and other things and wouldn’t use the first floor, which obviously had more zombies from outside and other places, that’s why they had always managed to return.

They actually also had mice and were using those to check if their water and food would be safe for consumption.

But of course, unlike from the beginning, it was more difficult for them to capture smaller mice because a lot of them had become bigger and more dangerous; but at least at the beginning, most of them had managed to survive because they had been more cautious and were using those mice to check things before they had them, especially their water.

Unlike them, who have a lot of convenience and could eat and drink what they liked most of the time because of their strength as well as their hard work of always training and going out for missions, the people in the mansion couldn’t be said to have worked as hard as themselves when it comes to survival, but they’re still managing their own lives as best as they could based on their own standards, so it could still be considered to be good.

Of course, if they had been braver and had trained even harder, then they probably wouldn’t be malnourished and wouldn’t lack supplies. However, not everyone could continue to be brave and continue risking their lives, and Luciel and the others couldn’t just force them to do so as they weren’t even there at those times, so they couldn’t comment on the way they were living, as they were even living better than others, as at least they weren’t resorting to plundering others as well as resorting to other crimes to get more supplies that they needed.

They’re still living their honest lives, so Luciel could still say that at least they were still good, as they hadn’t lost their conscience yet.

Of course, if they had been in front of them and were living with them, then it would be different, as he and Treyton were the same in that regard—that all the people that were with them should earn their own right to stay, and if they stay, then they wouldn’t be exempted from facing the dangers that they would face.

They had always been the same in that regard; of course, Treyton was obviously more generous and kind compared to him, but they’re still the same, as they wouldn’t just allow others not to face dangers that the others were also facing daily.

That’s why all the ordinary people in the team were also always involved in killing zombies and other dangerous things, even if it isn’t their main responsibility, like Nina and Richard, who were mainly responsible for housekeeping and cooking.

If the people in the mansion had stayed with Treyton, then they would certainly have killed a lot of zombies already and would have trained to be stronger than they currently are, as they were obviously lacking training.

Well, the people in the mansion were obviously focusing on preserving their lives with facing the least danger that they could, unlike them, so of course the results were also different.

But at least from their conversation, as well as the state of the mansion that they were in, it could still be seen that they were putting their effort into surviving without losing their morality, which was good enough for the chaotic time that they were in where a lot of ordinary people had already lost themselves just for a piece of bread or for a sip of water.

In just a short time, Nathan and Camille had really uncovered a lot of stories from Ferman’s wife and son from their living circumstances, as well as the other people that were living with them.

According to them, the people that were with them were really their neighbors; they were just the people who were also like them and were living just outside of the community area where mostly affluent people had been buying properties for their vacation houses or estates.

Those neighbors mostly have the same jobs as their family, and most of them were also caretakers of the different houses in the area.

It’s just that the biggest and safest mansion in the area was really Treyton’s estate, as his property was completely surrounded with strong metal fences, and the mansion was also well protected with bulletproof windows as well as thicker walls.

Those neighbors have the same jobs, so they just chose the safest and stayed in it when the zombies suddenly appeared.

Afterwards, they just did their best to survive with what they could find with the least risk; of course, even though they were always taking the least risk, they still lost some of their people because they weren’t strong enough.

According to them, there were originally 19 of them, but after a year, because of different reasons, they only have 11 people remaining.

They also mentioned that their supplies were running out again, so they were planning to go out again to look for supplies, and they had also considered moving to survivor bases because it was really getting harder and harder to collect supplies on their own as the places they had to visit were getting farther and farther.
