Nakagawa Mami cautiously suggested, "How about we seize the Takajo Family base and establish a fully operational survivor base, leaving a spark of humanity in this world."
If they had the ability, not only Nakagawa Mami, but also the other three girls, including Tōjō Yagi, wanted someone in Japan to survive and carry on in this apocalypse.
Lu Wen thought about it. Seizing the Takajo Family base wasn't impossible. He could use these survivors to collect the things he needed.
He wouldn't have to run around, he just needed to wait in the survivor base.
With this thought in mind, Lu Wen said, "Okay, Takajo Soichiro carried firearms and weapons, and wanted to attack us. It's perfectly reasonable for us to seize the Takajo Family base."
"After the takeover, Nakagawa Mami, you're in charge. Bring me everything I need."
"No problem." Nakagawa Mami nodded happily.
She didn't expect her previous unspoken idea, which failed, to be resurrected now.
However, Nakagawa Mami also knew that Lu Wen's orders were paramount, and handling them took priority over anything related to the survivor base.
Without rushing to leave, Lu Wen and his group collected everything they needed in the commercial district before heading towards the Takajo Family base.
Inside the Takajo Family base, Takajo Yuriko was getting anxious. More than an hour had passed, but Takajo Soichiro hadn't sent any word back. She couldn't even reach him on the walkie-talkie.
"Something's wrong. Is Soichiro still alive? Could that Shenzhou man, Lu Wen, be attacking the Takajo Family base?" Takajo Yuriko was deeply worried.
But after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a perfect solution.
Without Takajo Soichiro, her status as the Takajo Family's wife and her authority had both diminished significantly.
To ensure comfortable survival in this apocalypse, Yuriko should seal the news and cultivate relationships with the base's important figures.
But all of this was predicated on Lu Wen not attacking.
Thinking about this, Yuriko could only choose to accept her fate.
She had learned about Lu Wen from her daughter, Takajo Saya, and knew he had ruthlessly slaughtered a teacher in the school who had tried to stop students from leaving.
Yuriko knew that Lu Wen would likely come to the Takajo Family base.
Thinking of her daughter, Takajo Saya, Yuriko instructed her subordinates, "Those people in full armor have arrived again. Don't stop them, let them in, and inform me to go greet them."
This order caused a ripple. All those in the know began to speculate about what was happening.
Without keeping the apprehensive Yuriko waiting long, Lu Wen arrived with his army of Soul-Reaping Warriors.
The guards at the entrance had already received their orders. They dared not neglect their duty. They opened the gate to welcome them while informing Yuriko.
Greeted into the Takajo Family base, Lu Wen felt a little strange. Why was there no resistance?
Yuriko soon arrived with the remaining management of the base to greet Lu Wen.
"Welcome, Mr. Lu Wen," Yuriko said, bowing respectfully.
"Did you guess that Takajo Soichiro was already dead? Why did you choose to surrender without resistance?" Lu Wen asked, looking at the woman before him.
Those in the base heard this and were shocked. Takajo Soichiro was just dead like that, without a sound?
But the most loyal followers of Takajo Soichiro had gone out with him, dying at the hands of the Soul-Reaping Warriors.
Now, seeing the Soul-Reaping Warriors in full armor surrounding them, and seeing Yuriko taking the lead in surrender, those in the base couldn't muster any will to fight.
Escorting Lu Wen's group into the hall, Yuriko explained in a melancholic tone after sending everyone else away, "The world has changed. There are zombies and monsters everywhere. Even if I organize people to resist, we wouldn't last long."
"It's better to surrender to Mr. Lu Wen. Perhaps I could get your favor."
Yuriko didn't mention the other reasons.
Anyway, she wasn't very heartbroken over Takajo Soichiro's death. She felt more indifferent, so she didn't have any negative emotions towards Lu Wen and could make a more rational decision.
Lu Wen recalled the information about Yuriko in front of him. A former Wall Street elite, she was also a strong woman. She was much stronger in management than the few women under him now.
"Don't even think about resistance," Lu Wen said, using his power to merge Yuriko with the Emperor's Banner.
If he didn't have the merging ability, Lu Wen wouldn't dare use a strong woman like Yuriko.
He had superhuman power, but his defenses and vitality weren't particularly strong. He could still be killed if hit by a firearm in a vital spot.
Yuriko was a little confused about Lu Wen's order, but she guessed it was the key to gaining his trust.
She didn't want to lose her power, otherwise, a beautiful woman in this zombie apocalypse would most likely end up in a very miserable way.
Therefore, the merging was smooth. Yuriko became someone completely under Lu Wen's control.
Without Lu Wen even having to speak, Nakagawa Mami, who had just joined, began to explain to Yuriko as a senior.
After listening, Yuriko felt it was like a fantasy. She was also very excited. "Mr. Lu Wen, I will not disappoint you."
"I'm going to stay in this world for five or six days. Yuriko, Mami, you two organize the survivors in this base. Do your best to collect the things on my list. I'll clear the zombies around here," Lu Wen said.
"We will definitely collect all the things Mr. Lu Wen needs." Nakagawa Mami and Yuriko said in unison.
After discussing it, Nakagawa Mami and Yuriko worked together to organize the personnel and equipment, preparing to start collecting resources for Lu Wen tomorrow.
In full view of everyone, Nanri Shouko also fired a shot with her electromagnetic crossbow. The cannonball-like power stunned the survivors in the base. All the discordant voices disappeared in an instant.
鞠川靜香 also became a doctor again, treating injuries for the survivors in the base, also practicing her medical skills.
