"Hmm, a lake island? That's indeed a good location!"
"There are fences and crops, so there must be guards. How many people are there?" Shangshan asked.
He was actually just asking casually. After all, all six members of the Sakata team had reached the limit of their physical fitness. Moreover, Sakata had a pistol. Dealing with ordinary survivor camps was more than enough. In his opinion, this stronghold had already been taken.
"There are no guards, and it seems everyone has gone out to collect supplies! There's only a small dog guarding the farmland!" the secretary replied truthfully.
"Heh, these Dragon Country people lack crisis awareness too much! Exposing their stronghold so easily to others? With no guards?"
"Inform the Sakata team. After they eliminate the dog, they can ambush nearby! Wait for the people from the camp to return and ambush them, wiping them out in one go! Remember, leave no survivors!" Shangshan was meticulous. He knew that Jiangnan was Dragon Country territory. During combat, the chat system could not be used. However, once someone escaped, they could call for help in the regional chat channel. At that time, the Sakata team would likely face the wrath of tens or even hundreds of Dragon Country people. That would be troublesome!
"Understood, I'll contact the Sakata team right away!" The secretary quickly brought up the chat interface. The system's chat interface had two types: regional chat and private chat. Regional chat only took effect in the same area, and everyone in the area could see it. Private chat had two methods: one was mutual friend requests, allowing communication regardless of location. If no friend request was made, one had to see the name in the regional chat channel to initiate a private chat. Furthermore, if both parties stopped communicating for more than an hour, the private chat window would disappear. All the aforementioned chats could not be used in combat.
After a while, the secretary looked confused and said to Shangshan, "Councilor, I can't reach the Sakata team. They seem to be in combat! But I don't remember him mentioning any survivors nearby..."
Shangshan waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's fine. Even if there are some ambushing survivors, they won't be a match for Sakata! When they finish their fight, they'll naturally contact us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nakajo Tsuyoshi ran over, holding a pistol with a vigilant expression, and said nervously, "Councilor, quickly, get in the car, we need to leave here immediately! The iron fence for the crawlers has been breached! Now all three crawlers have broken out and are hunting people everywhere! Our current strength is no match for them! Councilor, please leave with me immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed past the window. Then, the screams of two Japanese samurai were heard. These two were also bodyguards and had both reached the physical limit stage. However, in just one round, they were eliminated by the crawlers. Nakajo Tsuyoshi was already a strong individual at the early stage 1 of awakened individuals. This rank was considered top-tier among all survivors. This was not because he had killed many zombies, but because he had collected a large number of crystal cores from dead survivors. The stronger the survivor, the more crystal cores could be collected after death! Collecting the corpse of a physical limit survivor yielded more crystal cores than killing a hundred zombies. If one considered the supplies in his ring and the fragments of his storage ring, their value was immeasurable. It was precisely because of this that Shangshan began to test zombies with living people. This way, he could collect valuable experimental data and, at the same time, gain a large number of crystal cores and supplies without shedding blood. It was a win-win situation! It was a pity that with the zombie horde imminent, this place could not be held. They had to find a new area and start all over again! That lake island seemed quite good!
"Tsuyoshi! Drive to the Sakata team's location!" Shangshan said. "There's a suitable place for us to settle down there!"
The female secretary, Akagi Yoko, immediately relayed Sakata's last known location to Nakajo Tsuyoshi. The car had a navigation system. "It's about twenty minutes away from here. We'll head out now!"
"Then... should we notify the others?" Nakajo Tsuyoshi looked at the chaotic hot spring hotel, where screams could still be heard from time to time, his expression grave.
"This place is beyond saving. The supplies are with me, so don't worry about them!" Shangshan said expressionlessly. "Also, notify the people at the northern defense line, and Koike at the bridge, gather them all in the direction I've marked!"
"Understood!" Nakajo Tsuyoshi nodded and ordered the bodyguard next to him to drive. He himself brought up the chat interface and began to contact them...
Meanwhile... Jiangnan District, Lake Island, Building 8...
Er Pang was bored, lying on the ground basking in the sun. Although he was supposed to be on guard, no one came. Not even passersby. These potato tubers wouldn't move. Er Pang was so bored he felt like he was going to explode. What frustrated him the most was... he had been growing rapidly recently. His physique was even sturdier than when he was in his juvenile stage. However, Zhang Chen still gave him the same amount of food as before every day. The fertilizer was no longer enough. It was only early afternoon. The food basin was already clean, and Er Pang had meticulously licked even the fertilizer residue on the edges of the basin. The entire basin shone like new!
"Awooo..." Er Pang let out a bored howl. At the same time, he felt hungry again... Suddenly, he smelled an unfamiliar scent in the air. Someone was coming! Er Pang quickly got up excitedly. At this moment, Sakata, along with five team members, stood outside the fence with smirking faces. The fence was only chest-high. However, the Japanese were slightly shorter than the Dragon Country people. These six people only had their heads showing. Looking from the courtyard, it was extremely strange!
"There are many unfamiliar crops here, but since the owner of this house grows them... it means they must be edible! If we can cultivate these crops in large quantities, we won't have to worry about food!" the Japanese people said to each other. "But before that, we can have a feast! Have you eaten dog meat? Especially young dogs, their meat is tender and delicious!" Sakata rubbed his hands, his eyes greedily fixed on Er Pang, who was also looking at him with a drooling mouth...
One person and one wolf thought of the same thing: It's time to eat!
