With the entire Atlas Federation watching, Fallen Star Squad wiped out their first Yamato Empire compound.
Out of the hundreds of thousands inside, most were killed. A small number managed to escape, but in an apocalypse crawling with zombies, their odds of surviving weren't great.
Tens of millions of Federation citizens watched it like a feast.
And just like that, Fallen Star Squad's status in the Federation hit a new peak. They weren't just strong anymore—they were untouchable. The kind of people everyone pointed at and called idols.
In a world where hope was getting harder and harder to find, their strength gave the Federation something simple and addictive:
A reason to believe they might actually make it.
Before the world ended, if Fallen Star Squad had slaughtered tens of thousands—even if those people were Yamato—there would've been plenty of bleeding hearts screaming about morality.
But it had been almost a year since the fall.
