Seeing Chang Wei and his men return with so many weapons, the villagers knew that the village's strength had increased significantly, and their safety was now much better guaranteed.

Hearing the commotion, Hoshino Ai and the others came out of the house and were delighted to see the mountain of weapons in front of them.

They had almost run out of ammunition, but now with this huge shipment of weapons, the village's development will have a new opportunity.

"Chuanzi, I'm giving you a task: recruit another hundred people!"

Chang Wei instructed Chuanzi, who was standing beside him. Now that ammunition was plentiful again, they could further expand their ranks and strengthen their forces.

"Yes, Chief Chang Wei!"

Upon hearing Chang Wei's order, Chuanzi responded excitedly. This was the second time Chang Wei had given him a task, and Chuanzi knew he had to do his best to complete it in order to earn Chang Wei's appreciation.

Without saying a word, he quickly left with three people and headed to the village square to recruit more people.

"Chang Wei, you've had a tough time this time. Did anything go wrong?"

Yoko Okino asked with a smile.

Chang Wei briefly summarized his experience on this trip and the scene of his fierce battle with the mutated beast. He then led everyone to a truck and pointed to the huge mutated beast corpse lying on it.

"My God, this beast is huge!"

"Could this be the legendary Siberian tiger?"

"No, that's absolutely not it. Even tigers aren't that huge. Besides, have you ever seen a tiger with scales?"

……

As everyone stared at the mutated beast, which was a full ten feet tall and covered in fine scales, their surprise and curiosity surged like a tide, and they all exclaimed in amazement.

Hoshino Ai walked to Chang Wei's side, gently took his arm, and said coquettishly:

"Chang Wei, this mutated beast is really peculiar. It looks like a cat, but it has a body covered in scales."

A moment of tenderness and charm completely shattered her previous image as an aloof and unattainable idol.

Chang Wei smiled and explained the level and abilities of the mutated beast to everyone. The crowd listened with rapt attention, their eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"Chief Chang Wei is truly amazing! He can even defeat such a powerful mutated beast!"

"That's right, with Chief Chang Wei around, our Li Family Village will definitely become stronger and stronger!"

The crowd discussed it animatedly, feeling incredibly proud and honored by Chang Wei's formidable martial prowess.

Chang Wei continued, "During the battle with this mutated beast, I discovered that its scales were exceptionally tough, even my knife couldn't cut through them. Therefore, I wanted to try to peel off its scales and make them into protective clothing. That way, the zombies' claws wouldn't be able to harm us."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, especially Hoshino Ai's, whose eyes sparkled brightly.

She knew that as a support-type evolved being, she had no offensive capabilities and even a level one zombie could pose a threat to her.

Therefore, she especially longed to have such a protective suit so that she could be more free to stay by Chang Wei's side.

"That's a great idea!"

Hoshino Ai exclaimed excitedly, "I'll go find someone right now to see if we can turn its scales into armor!"

Hoshino Ai's eyes gleamed with excitement as she asked, "Is everyone ready?"

Everyone's faces showed anticipation, after all, having armor to protect one's life is something everyone dreams of.

Chang Wei quickly made arrangements, directing everyone to unload the guns from the trucks one by one and transport them to a warehouse specifically set up for storing weapons.

Light machine guns, automatic rifles, and even a grenade launcher—these heavy weapons were unloaded from the truck, much to the delight of Ada Wong and her men. With these weapons, their combat effectiveness would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

To celebrate this unexpected gain, Hoshino Ai decides to host a grand welcome party.

Inside the banquet hall, dozens of people sat on either side, and the tables were laden with sumptuous dishes:

Roast chicken, stir-fried vegetables, roast meat, pig's trotters, as well as steamed buns, rice, various pastries, fruits, and cola.

These foods may not have been uncommon before the apocalypse, but now they have become rare delicacies.

Most of those present were Chang Wei's old subordinates, such as Yoko Okino, Sato, Rika Nan, and Ada Wong, and their faces were filled with joy and satisfaction.

Nanri Kaori sat with Okino Yoko. She wore a pink dress and had a rosy face, as if the apocalypse had not left any trace on her.

In addition, there are some new faces, such as Kawako, Kanna Hashimoto, Chang Chen, and Kanna Hashimoto.

They were all elites who performed exceptionally well in battle and were selected by Sato, Ada Wong, and others to serve as vice-captains.

Zhang Zhen was a survivor discovered by Dong Zhu during the rescue operation. Although he appeared quiet, he was exceptionally brave in battle, wielding a fire axe like a whirlwind.

In addition, Chuanzi was once Xiong Jinli's subordinate and was promoted because of his outstanding performance;

This welcoming banquet was not only a celebration of their victory, but also a testament to their unwavering belief in unity and facing the end times together.

During that thrilling zombie-slaying operation, Chang Wei unexpectedly obtained a mysterious ball of light, which enabled him to comprehend a skill called "Earth Spikes," thus joining the ranks of evolved beings.

Because of this extraordinary achievement, he was appreciated by Yoko Okino and promoted to vice-captain of the third squad, taking on more important responsibilities.

At this moment, the three team members sat respectfully in front of Chang Wei.

Two of them had already witnessed Chang Wei's astonishing strength and knew how terrifying this seemingly young captain would be once he unleashed his full power.

Although Zhang Zhen had not witnessed it firsthand, he learned from Captains Sato and Nanri Kaori that they themselves could hardly withstand a single move from Chang Wei, which made him even more in awe of the leader's strength.

In the courtyard outside the hall, several tables were occupied by combat personnel and people that Chang Wei had once saved at the school.

Their food was much simpler, consisting of stir-fries and steamed buns, with the occasional piece of meat.

Despite this, these women, who were often in danger, felt incredibly satisfied. They ate and drank without restraint, making some of the surviving girls swallow hard.

"What is this? They're eating so well inside, while we're stuck eating this simple food here! What does Chang Wei take us for?!"

"A woman who was rescued, Kotoko Muki, complained angrily."

This once taciturn girl gradually revealed her inner dissatisfaction and jealousy after the apocalypse.

She was a vain person by nature, and her personality was sharp and mean.

Seeing Ada Wong, Sato, and other women sitting inside enjoying delicious food, while they could only eat such simple meals here, their resentment and jealousy grew even stronger.

Satomi Ishihara sat silently to the side, chewing on food she used to disdain, but now felt incredibly satisfied.

Satomi Ishihara felt completely satisfied to be able to enjoy such a sumptuous meal.

She gazed at Chang Wei, who sat at the head of the table in the hall, a hint of daze in her eyes.

Ada Wong and Sato also appeared unusually calm. They had long understood Chang Wei's thoughts and knew that they were not the person he was looking for.

They knew that sooner or later they would leave this village and go to Tokyo.

Therefore, they did not feel dissatisfied, but simply regarded this place as a temporary habitat, barely maintaining their livelihood.

Now, they understood Chang Wei's intentions.

Although Tokyo is their final destination, Changwei will definitely wait until everything in the countryside is back on track before sending them away.

Therefore, they have already made plans to stay here long-term.

The other girls looked at the food in front of them with dissatisfaction, muttering to themselves, "When will we get to Tokyo?"

"Get out of this awful place right now!"

"This place is no human being."

However, they only complained in hushed tones and dared not make a loud noise.

After a month of living in the apocalypse, they had witnessed its cruelty and thus learned to restrain their words and actions.

Hearing the complaints from the crowd, Ada Wong couldn't help but speak up and offer some advice:

"Don't be so ungrateful! Look at those ordinary people outside, they don't even have vegetables, they're already lucky to have steamed buns!"

Sato chimed in, "That's right. Look at them. They can only earn food by working every day. Only the elderly and children can be supported."

Our lives are much better than theirs now.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think of the treatment of ordinary people, and a feeling of relief and gratitude welled up in their hearts.

Inside the hall, Chang Wei noticed that Sato was missing, so he turned to Yoko Okino and asked:

"Where's Yoko? Why isn't she here?"

Sato's absence, as the captain of the Evolver and the Resource Search Team, clearly caught Chang Wei's attention.

Yoko Okino was intently watching Komachi, who was eating cake with gusto and sipping orange juice, a satisfied smile on her face, as if she had forgotten the hardships of the apocalypse.

Upon hearing Chang Wei's question, Yoko Okino looked up and replied, "Sato led the team out to search for supplies today."

The surrounding villages have many resources that can be utilized, and they have brought us back a lot of necessities these past few days.

"I've already sent someone to inform him; he should be back soon."

Yoko Okino added.

Now that the apocalypse has arrived, with power outages and the internet gone, everything seems to have returned to an era where everything relied on human labor.

Chang Wei nodded and began to enjoy the food in front of him.

Since the apocalypse began, he has rarely had the opportunity to eat such a sumptuous meal.
