Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Survival, My Stand is the World

"With the TV station as the core base, you, Senior Mai, will be fully responsible for internal defense, management, and personnel reassurance."

"At the same time, using Soubu High School as an outpost, we will form an elite 'exploration team,' with Yukino as the tactical planner, responsible for developing all action plans for our 'attack.'"

"One focuses on internal affairs, and the other on external affairs."

"One became the 'Queen,' and the other became the 'Marshal.'"

"One is my 'shield'."

"The other one is my 'sword'."

"Is there a problem with this?"

Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a series of thunderclaps, exploding in the hearts of the two women.

They were all stunned.

None of them expected that Su Chen would resolve their dispute in this way.

He did not take sides.

Instead, they were both promoted to an unprecedented, unique, and important position that belonged only to them!

This not only resolved their conflict.

This is the greatest affirmation and trust in their abilities!

Such magnanimity, such skill...

In an instant, all the debates over policy and personal feelings paled in comparison to the leader's charismatic, overtly strategic leadership.

"I have no problem."

Yukino Yukinoshita was the first to lower her proud head, her voice carrying a hint of admiration that she herself was unaware of.

Mai Sakurajima looked at him and remained silent for a long time.

In the end, it could only turn into a helpless sigh, which was also somewhat ironic.

"I do not have either."

This man...

He truly is a born "king".

Chapter Twenty: A Triumphant Return

The clash between the queens came to an end in a way no one expected.

Over the next two days, the team's operational efficiency was frighteningly high.

Under Su Chen's guidance, they quickly found the dusty but still functioning diesel emergency generator in the basement of the TV station building.

Rumbling--

When the dull hum of the motor resumed, and the lights in the lobby on the first floor lit up one after another, illuminating all the dark corners as bright as day.

All the survivors couldn't help but cheer as if they had escaped a disaster.

Light has returned!

Immediately afterwards, Yukino and Utaha, along with several tech-savvy survivors, stormed into the control room and communications room.

After a period of intense testing, more good news arrived.

The building’s wired telephone and intercom systems were successfully activated.

Although they are still unable to contact the outside world due to the failure of external base stations.

But at least they have a stable and reliable internal communication network covering the entire building.

"Well done."

Su Chen looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand, which had regained its signal, and gave a positive evaluation to Yukino, who was in charge of command on the other end.

"..."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, Yukino's voice, still cool and aloof, seemed to carry a hint of barely perceptible emotion.

"...It's what I should do."

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Food and water were re-counted and centrally managed.

The survivors were also comforted and united by Mai Sakurajima's unparalleled kindness, and were no longer a disorganized bunch as before.

This place has become a small but fully-equipped survivor's stronghold.

Everyone felt that they might actually be able to live peacefully here.

Until the morning of the third day.

Su Chen gathered everyone together and announced a decision that surprised everyone.

"Let's go back."

"Go back?" one survivor asked, puzzled. "Go back where? Isn't it nice here?"

"Reporting to General Wu Gao." Su Chen's tone left no room for argument.

"Why?" This time, it was Mai Sakurajima who raised the question.

She frowned, looking at Su Chen with a puzzled expression.

“Su Chenjun, I acknowledge your decision-making ability. However, this place is far superior to that small stadium in terms of both defense and supplies. Giving up here is not a wise choice.”

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in agreement with Mai's opinion.

This is the first time that these two "queens" have stood on the same side.

Su Chen looked at them, smiled, and asked in return.

"What do you think is the biggest advantage of this place?"

"...Sturdy?" Mai answered tentatively.

“No.” Su Chen shook his head. “The biggest advantage here is ‘information’.”

He pointed to the screens that had lit up again and the devices that were now running.

"But now, we have already gained the advantage of 'information'."

Then he pointed to the building's huge glass curtain wall.

"So, what is its biggest drawback?"

"...too conspicuous, and easy to attack but difficult to defend."

This time, it was Yukino Yukinoshita who answered.

She instantly understood what Su Chen meant.

“That’s right.” Su Chen snapped his fingers. “This place is like a lighthouse in the dark. It may not seem like much now, but over time, it will inevitably attract all the ‘moths’ around it.”

"But the Zongwu High School Gymnasium is different. It's remote and secluded enough, with only one entrance and exit, making it practically a natural fortress."

"So, my plan is,"

His gaze swept over all the core members present.

"We will use the television station as our 'resource point' and 'outpost'."

"We will make the General Military High School our true and absolutely safe 'base camp'."

"We want both."

It's that familiar, domineering declaration again.

Mai and Yukino exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helpless bitterness in each other's eyes.

This man...

He never bothered with making choices.

He only wanted, and always had a way, to make all the options his own.

……

The returning team has become much larger.

A dozen survivors, escorted by Su Chen and four girls, embarked on their journey back to Zongwu High School.

At the very front of the group was Su Chen, who was like a sharp knife clearing the way.

In the middle of the group were Yukino and Mai, who were in charge of command and support.

At the very back of the group were Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was on guard duty, and Yuigahama Yui, who was holding a fire axe and sweating nervously.

It was calm along the way.

It seems that Su Chen's massacre a few days ago, which could be described as a "natural disaster," has completely terrified the monsters in this area.

They didn't even encounter a single lone black mud monster.

This greatly relieved the survivors.

It also filled their eyes with awe and fervor when they looked at the young figure walking at the front.

In such an apocalyptic world, to be able to follow such a powerful figure is undoubtedly the greatest fortune.

The group arrived at the gate of Zongwu High School without any problems.

Looking at the familiar building filled with youthful memories, Yui and Yukino felt as if they were in another world.

Mingming had only been gone for less than three days.

"Okay, we'll be home soon."

Yui patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, trying to lighten the mood.

However, she just finished speaking.

Su Chen, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped without warning!

He raised his head, and for the first time, a sharp, cold glint flashed in his usually calm and unwavering dark eyes!

"What's wrong, Su Chenjun?"

Yukino immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.

Su Chen did not answer.

He just stared intently in the direction of the stadium.

Just a moment ago.

His exceptionally sharpened senses, enhanced by the Triple Rebirth, were suddenly struck by a sharp, intense pain, as if he were being pierced by countless steel needles!

This is……

The highest level of danger warning!

In his perception, a vast and evil entity, filled with chaos and violence, was quietly brewing in the direction of the stadium!

The intensity of this aura was far greater than any of the demons he had encountered before, even more terrifying than the demon horde composed of hundreds of demons!

It also needs to be pure!

Damn!

Yinglili!

The image of the blonde woman with twin ponytails who stayed behind at the base camp instantly flashed into his mind.

Something terrible happened to their home!

Chapter Twenty-One: The Contaminated Home

"Okay, we'll be home soon."

Yui Yuigahama patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at that familiar school gate, a sense of relief, as if I had survived a disaster, welled up inside me.
