Inside Suvasong Camp.

Each team is equipped with an "Eye," along with surveillance cameras installed inside the camp by the scouts.

Hubert already knows the precise location of every enemy; the battle is almost one-sided.

The captives are throwing away their weapons one after another, pleading with the soldiers to save their families. The motor gang didn't have time to react and was instantly killed.

There were no casualties!

About fifteen minutes later.

The camp was completely controlled by Lin Yi's people.

The captives and hostages were all gathered in one place.

These men haven't seen their families in months, some no longer have family...

After all, not all hostages can survive long-term hunger and captivity.

The first thing Lin Yi did was give them all spring water and hot food.

Then, civilians from the Shelter were summoned, using the information provided by the captives to loot the camp.

The soldiers took up strategic positions, waiting for the Angel Gang to return and ready to give them a fatal blow.

The Angel Gang had a staggering amount of stuff!

They seemed to steal everything of value, including electronics, parts, tools, and of course, food...

Clearly, the Angel Gang was obsessed with gold and jewelry too; they had an entire Treasure Room...

Lin Yi had to spend ten thousand Coins and rent a hundred thousand square yard warehouse to store all the ill-gotten gains of the Angel Gang.

The Angel Gang also had a workshop for reloading shells, with quite a few skilled craftsmen inside.

Lin Yi was very pleased with this.

Once everyone had eaten and drunk, Chen Youyou began questioning the captives using Mind Reading.

She discovered that eleven people were bona fide villains, so they were tied up and locked away to be dealt with once things calmed down.

Lin Yi planned to gather more people to clean out the town because he wanted everything!

Furniture, cutlery, tattered rags, even dirty socks—his greed had surpassed level 250. If possible, he would tear down the houses for materials...

But now was not the right time, so he decided to wait until the Angel Gang was dealt with before thoroughly cleaning the place.

The Angel Gang didn't take long to return.

The first batch returned from a town called Laon, about twenty kilometers northeast.

This team consisted of twenty motor gang members and fifty-five captives.

The convoy drove into the town unobstructed, completing a smooth transaction, and they were now thinking of the leader's reward, getting ready for a good meal.

Of course, the captives could only eat some leftovers...

But suddenly, an armored jeep appeared at the corner.

A flagpole was tied to the bumper, with the head of the Great Angel mounted on it.

Machine Gunners appeared from the windows of nearby houses, and the only road out of town was suddenly blocked by three jeeps equipped with machine guns.

At this moment, Solomon shouted through a loudspeaker.

"Your leader is dead, the camp is ours now, surrender or be killed on the spot!"

"Oh my God!? The Great Angel is dead..."

"They have over a hundred people..."

"What about our families, sir! Tell us what happened to them!"

"They have been saved! As I speak, they are eating and receiving emergency care, surrender!"

"Yes, yes!" The captives shouted excitedly.

However, one motor gang member emerged to try to stop all this, waving his hands.

"They will kill us all, we've done so much..."

"Shut the hell up!"

Before the motor gang member could finish speaking, another motor gang member thrust a knife into his throat.

Then, the member waved his hands and shouted.

"We surrender! We surrender! Guys, drop your guns, drop your guns!"

Solomon watched all this and gave the order.

Another hundred people appeared, and the soldiers disarmed the motor gang members. Anyone thinking of fighting their way out realized it would be nothing short of suicide.

The motor gang sold about three tons of food, earning fifteen Coins per pound, carrying ninety-six thousand Coins.

And according to their interrogation, if there's more, they could sell another ten tons.

It seems they are bargaining for their survival.

Soon after, another team returned from a survivor camp called Shawnee.

This team was smaller, only ten motor gang members and dozens of captives.

Initially, they tried to fight their way out, but a wall of fire and six corpses quickly cooled them down.

They sold some hostages and food to that camp, earning fifty-three thousand Coins.

In the next hour, two more small teams returned, bringing a total of thirty thousand Coins.

The largest team didn't return until nearly sunset; they seemed... well, they had their goods stolen and got beaten up badly.

Only six motor gang members and thirty-three tough captives came back.

The Great Angel's trusted assistant, the bald man Sebastian, also survived.

Extremely surprised by the warm rifle-waving welcome from these Shelter soldiers.

This team had wounded, many without weapons, thus no possibility of resistance, and immediately surrendered.

Overall, Lin Yi took away hundred seventy-three thousand Coins, a large number of motorcycles and vehicles, and some weapons, including light firearms and many System Weapons.

The soldiers tied everyone up for interrogation.

Thanks to the human lie detector Chen Youyou, they identified nine captives who were more than willing to assist the motorcycle gang in committing crimes against humanity.

However, among the motorcycle gang members, there were four who had actually been resisting the Great Angel's rule all along.

This motorcycle gang, known as the "Highway Angels," had existed for half a century. They had their own laws and rules, so the Great Angel couldn't get rid of these four people.

They had killed, but only out of self-defense or when they felt it was deserved.

After the interrogation, the other motorcycle gang members were ruthlessly dealt with, i.e., beheaded and thrown into a pit.

They talked to the rescued people, and most were eager to join the Shelter.

But some had relatives in other camps, so Lin Yi gave them vehicles and some food.

That day, the Shelter welcomed—

One hundred and twenty men.

Four hundred seventy-seven women and children.

All of the one hundred and twenty men agreed to join the Shelter's army on the condition that their families would be well taken care of after they died in battle.

These people were sent to the base afterwards.

The soldiers quickly searched the town, clearing out all the zombies they found outside.

As night fell.

Everyone returned to the base.

The newly opened potato and vegetable fields had just ripened, yielding a record—

192 tons of potatoes and 64 tons of vegetables.

Especially noteworthy was the harvest of tomatoes and cucumbers.

Immanuel promised to start making ketchup and tomato sauce at the factory the next morning!

Lin Yi insisted that the cucumbers must be pickled, and they must be sour and spicy to suit the Eastern palate!

Unexpectedly, "Beauty" Mary knew how to do it.

She patted her 300-pound stomach and promised with a big grin to complete the task beautifully.

At dinner.

Lin Yi devoured the tomato salad.

These particularly ripe tomatoes were juicier than the honey peaches he had eaten before.

"By the way, can we make mayonnaise?"

"Boss, we have eggs. I'll ask Immanuel later, it shouldn't be a problem."

Chen Youyou's smile was dazzlingly bright.

Recently, she had convinced Blaise and his wife to help her deal with some organizational issues.

Indeed, the Blaise couple had a knack for this; they appeared sincere, spoke sincerely, and easily won the trust of the people...

At this moment, Lin Yi noticed Annie, who was slightly thinner, looking like she had been starving for two months.

"Did you finish your work?"

"Boss! You're so bad! I almost died opening those rewards! But the worst part is, the room doesn't even have a window!"

Annie complained while pausing her eating, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I had nightmares and couldn't get enough fresh air. If it weren't for Sylvie, I would have gone crazy!"

"Uh, I was careless... Sorry! But as you know, we're about to undertake a mission on the island, and we need the items from those rewards, vaccines, and equipment."

"I know! That's why I didn't rest for a moment, didn't slack off for a second!"

Annie's unexpected dedication to the common cause made everyone suddenly have—

A different view of her!

"Hahaha! Well done! In reward, I'll let you name the first Xidi baby."

"You mean... the kind that produces milk?"

"Yes!"

"Oh! Boss, you're so mean..." Annie pouted indignantly.

Lin Yi smiled and looked at Regina.

"How are the newcomers doing?"

"They've all eaten and have places to stay. The injured are already receiving treatment at the hospital. By the way, among the new arrivals, there are three former nurses from a hospital, along with two doctors—one surgeon and one orthopedic doctor."

"Great! Then we can proceed with our plan to build a new hospital, right, Natasha?"

"Yes."

"Okay, anything else?"

"No, boss!"

The little girl said, grabbing another tray as she continued to eat voraciously, eager to grow up quickly.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Then after breakfast tomorrow, we'll start redesigning the base. Spread the word."

"Yes, boss," answered Chen Youyou.

At this point, Solomon, who hadn't spoken before, started reporting on the situation with the Beastmen.

The Beastmen sent scouts and several cleaning teams, but shortly after setting out, they fell into an ambush and suffered setbacks. Although there were no casualties, many were injured.

"Just as we expected, the Zombie General decided to retreat and use guerrilla tactics to weaken us."

"It seems the situation has eased..."

Lin Yi pondered, stroking his chin, aware that he couldn't let the Zombie General lead him by the nose.

Perhaps it would be a good time to attack a small infected area for a small hunting trip, using automatic weapons to gain experience?

As he thought, Zoe also began reporting that during the time Annie opened the Reward Egg, she managed the breeding...
