Anime Crossover: Many Children, Many Blessings; Yukino, the Wife from the Apocalypse

Page 271

"As for the manpower shortage, you can recruit from other people in the village to form an armed force. Women can be assigned some jobs that suit them, children should focus on their studies, and we will also arrange some light tasks for the elderly that they can handle. Remember, only by working can you get the food you deserve."

"Also, Ai Hoshino, you will be in charge of logistics and manage our supplies."

"Yoko, on the other hand, served as our advisor, offering me suggestions and strategies."

"And I will serve as the captain, overseeing the overall situation."

After hearing Chang Wei's words, everyone showed a surprised expression.

Ada Wong and the other girls looked completely bewildered, while those whose names were called were overjoyed.

Ada Wong stood up and declared with great pride, "Chang Wei, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Hoshino Ai smiled brightly, stood up, and replied, "Yes, Captain-Commander!"

Seeing this, the others also expressed their support. However, at this moment, Ada Wong stood up angrily, pointed at Chang Wei, and said, "Chang Wei, what are you trying to do? Do you want to end up like Xiong Jinli?"

Her face flushed red, and her chest heaved.

Ada Wong frowned, about to speak, but Chang Wei spoke first:

“Ada Wong, I’m trying to unite everyone’s strength, to combine the scattered forces into a powerful force. I’m thinking about the future of hundreds of people in the village.”

Only when we form a united organization can we work together to unleash amazing power and jointly protect our home. Chang Wei's words were like a bolt of lightning, piercing the oppressive atmosphere and awakening Ada Wong and the others from their confusion.

Although his words were clear and powerful, they seemed somewhat idealistic at first glance, as if they could only be used to deceive innocent children.

However, when everyone came to their senses, they couldn't help but be moved by his point of view.

"You bullshit!"

Ada Wong tried to retort, but Saya Takagi covered her mouth from behind and forcibly took her upstairs.

Seeing this, everyone silently withdrew their gazes, waiting for Chang Wei to speak next.

"In addition, I would like to announce the issue of resource allocation."

Chang Wei continued, "The supplies for each squad leader will be three times that of ordinary team members, and the supplies for ordinary team members will be three times that of the civilians. As for Ada Wong and the others, their supplies will be calculated according to the standards for ordinary people. After all, they cannot participate in combat, and we have no obligation to take on more responsibility for them."

Upon hearing these words, everyone understood that Chang Wei's resentment towards Ada Wong had not dissipated.

However, they all chose to remain silent, even the two little girls, Kashiwagi Mikoto and Minami Rika, sat quietly to the side, as if they hadn't heard these words.

Miki Nakano bit her lip, wanting to say something in defense of Chang Wei's actions, but then fell silent when she thought about her own situation.

She knew that in this world where the strong are respected, the weak are destined to be ignored and marginalized.

"By the way, it seems we're missing someone to be in charge of daily management here." Chang Wei suddenly changed the subject, and everyone's eyes lit up.

They all knew that although the position seemed trivial, it wielded considerable power, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone wanting to stand out in this small group.

In an instant, everyone tidied their appearance and looked at Chang Wei with expectant faces.

They all wanted the position, and despite the small size of the place and the limited number of people, the allure of power was enough to tempt them.

Hoshino Ai looked at her man with pride, as if she could see him about to become the master of this small group.

However, at that moment, Chang Wei's gaze suddenly fell on Satomi Ishihara, who had been sitting silently on the sofa.

"Satomi Ishihara, would you be willing to help me with some chores?"

Chang Wei's voice broke the silence. Everyone was taken aback, and then all turned their gazes to Ishihara Satomi.

Satomi Ishihara was also startled by the sudden question. She looked up at Chang Wei, a hint of doubt and unease flashing in her eyes.

Satomi Ishihara gazed at Chang Wei with an innocent and adorable expression, her endearing demeanor resembling that of a cute little panda, stirring ripples in Chang Wei's heart.

Satomi Ishihara and Ai Hoshino have completely different charms in terms of temperament. If Ai Hoshino is like a rose in full bloom, then Satomi Ishihara is like a pure white lily, untouched by worldly pollution, pure and beautiful, like an elegant flower blooming in the mud.

"Shall I help you with miscellaneous tasks?"

After hearing Chang Wei's words, Satomi Ishihara had a vague understanding of what was going on. This job as a housekeeper was clearly a rare honor, enough to help her escape the neglect of the past and win the respect and admiration of others.

"That's right, are you willing to be the butler?"

Chang Wei smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Hoshino Ai's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say anything. She knew that in this world, the strong were respected, and if she wanted to survive in this world, she had to learn to submit to the strong.

"I am willing!"

Satomi Ishihara responded with delight, as if she had been struck by a windfall, her heart filled with boundless joy and anticipation.

236. Satomi Ishihara's dedication.

Everyone watched this scene with longing, and a hint of jealousy inevitably arose in their hearts.

Such an enticing job was easily won by a usually quiet female hostage.

However, since it was Chang Wei who made the decision, everyone could only swallow their anger and dare not voice any objections.

Chang Wei's lips curled slightly, as if he had anticipated everyone's reaction, and he casually announced:

"The matter is settled; there is no need for further discussion."

After speaking, Chang Wei turned his gaze to Ri Chuanzi, this exceptionally clever fellow.

He frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"By Hikawa, what mission did you have on this trip? Why have you not returned for several days, and why did nearly sixty people set out but less than fifty have returned?"

This question not only puzzled Chang Wei, but also aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

In this zombie-infested apocalypse, aren't they afraid of being attacked by zombies if they dare to venture out?

Feeling the scrutinizing gazes of everyone, Rikawa gave a wry smile and began to recount their ordeal: "Don't even mention it, Chief Changwei. That guy Xiong Jinli somehow got wind of a story about an abandoned Sakura Armory fifty miles from here. He got so excited when he heard that he immediately led us there."

"arsenal?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Wei and the others' eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

They were worried that the weapons in the space warehouse wouldn't be enough to deal with the zombies, but unexpectedly, such good news came.

Is it really a sign of divine intervention, a blessing upon them?

However, what Hikawako said next plunged them from joy to despair:

"When we got there, we found that the armory did exist, but it was also a dangerous place. Our group almost got killed there."

"what?"

Chang Wei was startled and hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened?"

Rikawa sighed and continued, "When we got near the armory, we were suddenly attacked by a mutated beast. That thing was incredibly fast and had extremely strong defense. We didn't even have time to react before three of us were instantly killed. Even Xiong Jinli almost lost his life there. If it weren't for our powerful firepower, he probably wouldn't have made it back."

"Mutated beast?"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Since the apocalypse, they had only seen various zombies running rampant, but they had never witnessed the terror of mutated beasts.

However, after hearing what Richuanzi said, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards the mutated beast they had never seen before. After all, even a powerful figure like Xiong Jinli had almost lost his life at its hands.

"That mutated beast is like a shadow, appearing and disappearing without a trace. We simply cannot track its movements. Moreover, its defense is extremely strong; our bullets have no effect on it."

Richuan shook her head with a wry smile, "It's really fortunate that you were able to escape this time."

The mutated beast's fur was so tough that even bullets could hardly penetrate it, and its sharp claws could tear a person to shreds with a single strike.

Xiong Jinli's armor was easily torn apart by the mutated beast's claws. Fortunately, the intense firepower at the time shielded him from a fatal blow; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

This defeat filled Xiong Jinli with resentment.

He retreated several miles, intending to wait for the mutated beast to leave before opening the armory.

However, the mutated beast seemed to live in this place, and he waited all day but failed to find an opportunity, so he had no choice but to return home in frustration.

After listening to Richuanzi's account, Chang Wei's expression became serious.

After a moment's thought, he said to Rikawa, "Rikawa, in a few days, take me to see that mutated beast. I want to see for myself just how powerful it really is."

Although somewhat helpless, Richuanzi still respectfully agreed.

By the time the discussion was finished, it was already late.

Everyone started preparing the meal, while Chang Wei went up to the large bathroom on the second floor, intending to take a shower and get some rest.

This bathroom was clearly left by the previous owner, and it was spacious enough to accommodate three people.

Chang Wei lay in the bathtub, feeling very comfortable. He couldn't help but close his eyes and begin to ponder.

Suddenly, the bathroom door was quietly opened.

Chang Wei assumed it was Hoshino Ai, so he didn't pay any attention.

However, a sound of clothes being taken off came, and then a soft body slowly pressed against her.

The touch was as soft as cotton, giving Chang Wei the feeling of being on a cloud.

He opened his eyes and was surprised to find that the person in front of him was Satomi Ishihara.

At that moment, she was looking at herself with a shy expression.

"I...I just wanted to thank you for your help."

Satomi Ishihara looked into Chang Wei's eyes and said in a trembling voice.

She understood that in this apocalyptic world, survival depended on attaching herself to the strong.
