"Now then, I guess we need to figure out where we want to start our camp, don't we?" I suggested with a genuine smile.
A smile that was supposed to hide the fact that within the group of now over one hundred and fifty people... only three of them knew anything about the local lay of the land or points of importance.
In other words, despite how I asked this question out loud, seemingly involving everyone in it... Besides me, only Mia and Levi could have anything to say.
"Wouldn't starting from scratch be a good idea?" one of the newly obtained workers in my group suggested. "I mean, it would be a lot more work than taking over some ruins but it would also allow us to avoid any problems if someone were to come back and claim we stole their land."
About ten seconds. That's how long it took for one of the survivors that we helped out to put all my scheming to an end.
