Dinner Time

"Ah, an island in the middle of a lake? That's indeed a good location!"

"With fences and crops, there must be guards, right? How many people are there?"

Uesugi asked.

He was just asking casually.

After all, all six members of the Sakata squad had reached the peak physical limit level.

And Sakata also had a handgun.

Dealing with an ordinary survivors' camp was more than enough.

In his view, this stronghold was already theirs.

"There's no one guarding it, it seems like everyone has gone out to gather supplies!"

"There's only a small dog watching over the farmland!"

The secretary answered truthfully.

"Huh, these people are really lacking in crisis awareness!"

"To expose their base so easily?"

"No one is guarding it?"

"Tell the Sakata squad, after they get rid of the dog, they can ambush nearby!"

"When the people from the camp return, they can strike and capture everyone at once!"

"Remember, no survivors!"

Uesugi was meticulous in his planning.

He knew south river was a human territory.

During combat, it's impossible to use the chat system.

But once someone escapes, they can call for help on the regional chat channel.

Then, the Sakata squad might face the wrath of dozens or even hundreds of people.

That would be troublesome!

"Understood, I'll contact the Sakata squad right away!"

The secretary finished speaking and hurriedly accessed the chat interface.

The system's chat interface is divided into two types: regional chat and private chat.

Regional chat only works within the same area and is visible to everyone in the area.

Private chat has two methods: one is by adding each other as friends, allowing for chat communication regardless of location.

If not friends, one needs to see the name in the regional chat channel to initiate a private chat.

Moreover, if the two parties stop communicating for more than one hour, the private chat window will disappear.

All these chats cannot be used during combat.

After a while, the secretary looked puzzled and said to Uesugi:

"Senator, I can't contact the Sakata squad; it seems they are in a battle!"

"But I don't recall him mentioning that there were survivors nearby..."

Uesugi casually waved his hand and said:

"It doesn't matter, even if there are some ambushed survivors, they won't be a match for Sakata's team!"

"Once they have finished the battle, they will naturally contact us!"

Just as he finished speaking, Nakajima Takeshi, holding a pistol and looking very alert, ran over and said anxiously:

"Senator, quick, get in the car, we need to leave immediately!"

"The iron fence holding the Crawlers has been breached!"

"Now all three Crawlers have escaped and are hunting live humans everywhere!"

"We don't have the strength to stop them right now!"

"Senator, please leave with me immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow flashed past the window.

Then, screams were heard.

Both men were from a bodyguard background and had reached the peak physical limit stage.

Yet, in just one round, they were killed by the Crawlers.

Nakajima Takeshi was already an early stage 1 Awakener.

This level was among the top tier of all survivors.

It wasn't because he had killed many zombies.

But because he had collected a large number of cores from dead survivors.

The stronger the survivor, the more cores can be collected after their death!

Collecting a body of a survivor at the physical limit yields more cores than killing a hundred zombies.

If you include the materials in his rings and storage ring fragments, the value is immeasurable.

It is for this reason that Uesugi began to crazily use live humans to test zombies.

Not only could he gather valuable experimental data.

But he could also harvest a large amount of cores and materials without shedding blood.

It was killing two birds with one stone!

Unfortunately, a zombie tide was approaching, and they could no longer hold this place.

They had to move to another area and start over!

That island in the middle of the lake seemed like a good option!

"Drive to where the Sakata squad is located!"

"There's a suitable spot for us to settle down there!"

Uesugi said.

Akatani Yoko, the female secretary, immediately communicated Sakata's last known location to Nakajima Takeshi.

The car had a navigation system.

"It's about a twenty-minute drive from here, we're leaving now!"

"Should we notify the others?"

Nakajima Takeshi looked around at the chaos of the hot spring hotel.

From time to time, screams could still be heard from inside.

His expression was grave.

"It's too late to save this place, all the supplies are with me, don't worry about them!"

"Also, tell the people at the northern defense line and Koike and his team at the bridgehead to gather in the direction I've marked!"

Uesugi said emotionlessly.

"Understood!"

Nakajima Takeshi nodded, then ordered the bodyguard next to him to drive.

He himself started contacting others through the chat interface...

Meanwhile... in the south river area, on the island in the middle of the lake, Building 8...

Snow, utterly bored, lay on the ground basking in the sun.

Although it was supposed to be guarding the house, nobody ever came.

There weren't even any passersby.

These Meat Potatoes weren't going anywhere.

Snow was so bored it felt like it was going to explode.

What frustrated it the most...

It had been growing rapidly recently.

Its body had become even more robust than when it had grown into adolescence.

But Henry still fed it the same amount of food when he left every day.

That bit of Fertilizer was long not enough.

Now, it was just the afternoon.

The food bowl was already spotlessly clean, Snow had meticulously licked even the Fertilizer residue on the edge of the bowl.

The entire bowl shone like it was new!

"Awoo..."

Snow yawned out of boredom.

At the same time, it felt like it was hungry again...

Suddenly, it smelled an unfamiliar scent in the air.

Someone was coming!

Snow quickly got up excitedly.

At that moment, Sakata and his five teammates stood outside the fence, all smiles on their faces.

The fence only reached chest height.

Only their six heads were visible above it.

From the courtyard, it looked extremely bizarre!

"There are a lot of unfamiliar crops here, but since the owner of the house plants them... it must mean they are edible!"

"If we could plant these crops on a large scale, we wouldn't have to worry about food!"

The teammates exchanged remarks.

"But before that, we can have a little feast!"

"Have you ever eaten dog meat? Especially puppies, the meat is tender and tastes great!"

Sakata rubbed his hands together, his eyes greedily fixed on Snow, who was also drooling as it looked back at him...

Both human and wolf thought the same thing: "Dinner time!"
