Chapter 28
Undercurrents Stir, A Farce Unfolds

The sun rose and set, time flowed, and a few days passed quietly.

During these days, Lu Wen left the base during the day to clear nearby zombies, while Bai He Zi and Ma Mei organized the survivors to search for supplies.

Lu Wen was also multi-tasking, synthesizing the enhanced Human Emperor Banner to increase the volume of his personal space, and refining Yin Spirit warriors.

At night, some people volunteered to share his bed, and he spent a pleasant night.

The power Lu Wen possessed, and his own strength, were constantly increasing.

As time passed, the news that Lu Wen was the true master of the Takajo family base gradually spread among the survivors.

Some people were dissatisfied with the events of the past few days, especially that the master of the base was actually a Shenzhou person.

Kouta Hirano and Rei Miyamoto were among the survivors. They were originally guests of the Takajo family, and they could enjoy good living supplies without having to work every day.

Now that Lu Wen was the master of the Takajo family base, the previous preferential treatment naturally disappeared.

He had originally intended to organize some people to leave the Takajo family base and search for their families.

But unexpectedly, the master of the base changed. Forget about leaving to find their families, even their daily food had to be earned through labor.

From guests to ordinary survivors, this change in identity was quite large, making Kouta Hirano a little uncomfortable.

As the protagonist of the original plot, Kouta Hirano was easily impulsive and reckless.

However, his physique was good, and in these few short days, he had gathered a group of people his own age.

Kouta Hirano didn't intend to be a hero, saving the threatened Saya Takajo and her mother, and overthrowing Lu Wen's rule.

He just wanted to leave the base and find his missing family.

But some people didn't think so.

The head of the Takajo family, Souichiro, was the chairman of the "Ukokui-isshinkai", and many people here harbored ill intentions towards Shenzhou people.

Most of the remaining Takajo family retainers were very dissatisfied with Lu Wen, a Shenzhou person, who had suddenly become the master of the base.

But the existence of the full-body armored warriors made them dare not act rashly.

After seeing Kouta Hirano gathering a group of people, these Takajo family retainers saw an opportunity.

Most of them had received favors from Takajo Souichiro, and after the end of the world, they gathered around Takajo Souichiro.

They thought that they could become powerful and prosperous in this apocalypse, but unexpectedly, on the second day of the apocalypse, Takajo Souichiro died.

At this time, Bai He Zi quickly surrendered to Lu Wen, preserving her power and daughter, completely unaffected by the disappearance of Takajo Souichiro, and even further, becoming the second-in-command of the base.

Although they knew that Bai He Zi's actions were understandable, many of Takajo Souichiro's retainers still couldn't accept that she would submit to a Shenzhou person.

Extremists even considered it a betrayal.

They were furious, but Yin Spirit warriors were not something they could defeat.

Although they couldn't directly eliminate their target, they could use schemes and tactics.

They discussed it and decided to pass the news of Kouta Hirano gathering people to Zhong岡 Ma Mei.

They didn't have high expectations, they just wanted to disgust Bai He Zi and Lu Wen.

Kouta Hirano and Saya Takajo were classmates from elementary school, and their relationship was very close.

Now that Kouta Hirano was gathering people in the base, if Lu Wen found out, and they carefully spread rumors and incited him, they might be able to make Lu Wen suspicious and wary of Bai He Zi.

Only if the relationship between Lu Wen and Bai He Zi changed would they have the opportunity to intervene.

But outsiders were unaware of the relationship between Lu Wen and his subordinates, and a few rumors wouldn't have any impact.

Lu Wen and Yagi Asagi returned from outside in a car. He thought, "Tomorrow at noon, the seven-day survival of mission one will be completed. It's time to return to the main world. There's nothing worth staying for in this world."

Over the past few days, Lu Wen had accumulated over 60,000 souls.

His soul collection was limited by his travel speed. Currently, Lu Wen was only a slightly stronger ordinary person, with a limited daily range of movement.

Even if Lu Wen drove a motor vehicle, the roads were piled up with vehicles, and his travel speed simply couldn't be fast.

Over 60,000 souls was an extremely large number. Lu Wen had been seizing the time to refine Yin Spirit warriors in the past few days, and he only had over 300 now.

After being enhanced, the Human Emperor Banner could autonomously absorb energy, which was enough to sustain the consumption of these 60,000 souls in their dormant state.

Yin Spirit warriors also needed energy to move. Lu Wen could sustain these expenses with the help of generators.

Lu Wen had also mastered the use of magnetism. Combining it with the Object Control Art he had obtained from Uncle Jiu, he could now control a 20-centimeter long flying sword to fly at high speed for attacking and killing enemies.

The only problem was that the control range was relatively small, and he could only control it easily within a hundred meters. Beyond that range, the consumption would increase significantly.

He got out of the car and came to the hall. All the women under Lu Wen were present.

Bai He Zi and Ma Mei had been extremely busy these past few days. They were busy gathering the supplies Lu Wen needed, and also busy leaving enough supplies for the survivors in the base.

Tomorrow, Lu Wen would leave this world. Without the existence of Yin Spirit warriors, the survivors in the base would have to face the zombies directly.

Although the survivors in the base had been very busy these past few days, the surrounding zombies had been cleared by Lu Wen, and at least they were out of immediate danger.

"Have you all prepared to leave this world?" Lu Wen said.

The women nodded in unison, all looking impatient.

This was mainly because it was a zombie apocalypse world, and the women had no attachment to it.

It wasn't even in the same league as the allure of the multi-worlds.

Saya Takajo had also been helping Bai He Zi deal with matters in the base these past few days. After some hesitation, she said, "There are a few rumors in the base these past few days, saying that Kouta Hirano is gathering people, preparing to help us, mother and daughter, to seize control of the base."

Hearing this, Lu Wen wanted to laugh.

Although he didn't know the truth of this rumor, the Yin Spirit warriors he had released were not decorations.

Anyone with a normal mind wouldn't have any thoughts of facing them directly.

Unless they were like Takajo Souichiro before, who had a large amount of firearms.

"Saya, what do you think of this rumor?" Lu Wen asked.

Bai He Zi also looked at Saya, expecting her answer.

Saya Takajo's face remained unchanged. Although she had been very fond of Kouta Hirano before the zombie apocalypse, it was only a fondness, and there was no chance for anything further.

Now that she had signed a contract with Lu Wen, and she would be going on adventures in the multi-worlds in the future, her relationship with Kouta Hirano was simply that of good classmates.

After hearing this news, she had carefully observed it: "It's probably Father's former subordinates who are unwilling to be ruled by Lu Wen, but they are afraid of the power of Yin Spirit warriors, so they can only use these schemes and tactics to disgust people."

Lu Wen smiled and said casually, "Before we leave tomorrow, deal with these people."

With one sentence, he determined the future of these clowns.
