Hunter village

After

eating, Souta explained it to them.

"As I said, I promise you food, shelter, and weapons."

"The kids and girls will be separated; the kids will come with us to help us on the farm."

"The girls have three options." 1 is to join the training with the boys, 2 is to help the kids take care of the animals, and 3 is to learn medicine, crafting, cooking, etc.

"I'll let you pick. Well, come back before lunch."

Souta and the others go back to the mansion.

"You don't need to do that, right?" Amy asked

"Amy, showing power is needed for you to not be betrayed," Steff replied

"But why do we need to separate the kids and girls?" "Can't we just take the animals there?" Amy asked

"to hold a hostage, to be sure that they will be loyal to us, and for them to work hard," Shana replied

"But can't we just do it with kinder?" "Aren't we being too harsh to them?" Lily asked

"When we first go there, they accept us easily, just because of the food we have, which means they trust us easily, and it will become a problem if someone just tells them that we are the bad guys, and they might betray us," Nana replied with a fragile tone.

"But aren't we too cruel?" Andy asked

"If being cruel is the key to their loyalty, then it's a small price," Souta said.

Andy, Amy, and Lily stop walking.

and look at Souta, Shana, and Nana's backs.

A normal person might see them as the devil.

but they don't

They saw them as heroes.

the three motivated

and want to become like them.

Souta gets all the melee weapons.

and 1 pistol

after a couple of hours

They went back to the farm.

They were already prepared when they got there.

"So who will go to the farm?" Souta asked

4 women walk toward Souta

"Alright, who wants to take care of the cooking, medicine, crafting, etc."

3 women walk toward South

"Okay, so those who stayed are the ones who want to become soldiers, right?"

"Alright," said Souta as she walked towards the pickup truck.

"This here will be your weapons; as you show me how you improve and your loyalty, you will gain more and better weapons," Souta said.

Sota walks towards the retired mercenary. "Here," he says, "give him the pistol."

"I'll be expecting good things; you can call me Souta," Souta said

"Call me Roger," Roger said.

"Alright, well, come back tomorrow to bring the food," Souta said.

They ride in the pickup truck with the girls and the kids who will join them.

They went back to the mansion.

Souta showed them to their room.

He also introduced Jenny as their leader.

They eat lunch.

"Souta, the food for the animals is already running out," Jenny said.

"Is that so?" "We should loot some of the nearby villages first, and if they don't have animal food there, we will go to the shopping district," Souta said.

"eh? "Where are we going to the shopping district?" Amy asked

"Maybe in 3 weeks, going to the shopping district is too dangerous." "We need more manpower; 3 weeks should be enough to train them, then we'll loot the shopping district," Souta said

"Alright!" Amy said with joy.

After eating, we talk to the village girl. If they know where a village has lots of hunters,

All of them said it was the village near the forest.

and about a few kilometers away from their village.

Souta was curious, so they plan to go there tomorrow.

When morning came, they prepared to go towards the village, they said.

Again, we used 3 vehicles, 1 motorcycle and 2 cars.

We drove towards their village for many hours and have now arrived in their village.

The village they talk about was near the forest.

So we went towards the forest.

after half an hour of driving

We have now arrived at the forest.

It's already lunchtime, so we first eat lunch.

Andy didn't come this time.

After lunch, we then go deeper into the forest.

It was so quiet, but there are still some zombies.

We just follow the road.

As we get deeper, the zombies start to show up.

We then arrived at the village.

The village was small.

The population might not even increase by 300.

We get out of the car and start killing.

We stabbed, sliced, and shot them.

After half an hour, almost all the zombies are dead.

We start looting the houses.

We again divided into 3 groups.

I go solo.

Lily and Amy

Steff and Nana

and Shana for the lookout

as we loot five houses

We immediately found two guns.

We again continue to loot.

maybe about 10 houses that we loot

and we found five guns and two air guns.

We also found five daggers.

"This sure is a big loot today," Souta said.

while saying that a zombie was in his back.

but Nana shot it with the crossbow.

"You sure are getting good with that crossbow," Souta said.

"Y-yes," Nana said.

We found a large house.

"Is this the landlord's house?" Amy asked

We broke the gate and went in.

the house has 2 floors.

We first go to the first floor.

There was one zombie there.

we slice off its head

We then loot the house.

and found nothing.

We go to the second floor.

I opened the door and

I found humans.

People were hiding, and some were ready to fight.

They pointed a pistol at me.

"Hands up," the guy said.

"Alright," Souta said, putting his hand in the air.

"Alright, loot him," the guy said.

2 guys go near me.

They take all my weapons

Souta smiled

When Soura entered the room, they pointed a gun at him.

Steff immediately climbs up and goes to the people hiding.

a kid scream

"Alright, if you don't want this kid to die, put the gun down," Steff said.

Shana and Amy also get in and point a gun at them.

Only one man has a gun at them.

"Alright, I'll lose." The man said and dropped the gun while putting his hands in the air.

Souta immediately ran towards the man and punched his stomach.

the man was put unconscious

They also tie the people

Souta separated the man who pointed a gun at him.

Souta slapped the man.

"Wake up," Souta said.

The man woke up

"I see good tactics separating us like this," the man said.

The man was in his 30s

"You sure know what you're doing for being just a hunter." "I doubt that you're a hunter, right?" Souta said

The man laughed and said, "You sure know a lot for a kid, you're right, I'm not a hunter, I'm a soldier, and I am here because I was given a vacation."

"Then this will be a lot easier; I want you to work for me."

"In exchange, I'll give you food, safe shelter, and weapons; how about that?"

Souta said

"Hmm? From the sound of it, it looks like you already offered a few people your deal, huh? The man said

"Yeah, you know the retired mercenary in the next village?" "He was already working for me," Souta said.

the man laughed "that guy? "Okay, if that guy really did work for you, then I'll be working for him," the man said.

"hmm? you know each other?" Souta asked

"We used to protect the same person in the old days," the man said.

"Is that so?" "Then nice working with you, my name is Souta Roger, and I will tell you everything when we get there," Souta said.

"Alright, my name is Rex," Rex said.
