----------

After a long and dangerous run, Sebastian and others finally left the zombies far behind. The road is full of corpses that have been shattered into pieces by the bullets, and the ground is full of blood that has not yet solidified, making the road very slippery.

The zombies behind couldn't stand firm on such a ground at all. The blood stains and broken internal organs on the ground made them slide continuously, unable to stand for a long time. However, Sebastian and the others no longer had zombies in their field of vision, nor could they hear their voices, so there was no need to continue shooting.

Soon, the group of them finally returned to the academy.

"Sebastian-!" When the gate of the academy opened, a slender pink figure rushed out impatiently.

Takashi Saya. She just heard what seemed to be a faint gunshot in the distance, so she was very worried about Sebastian's safety.

"Are you all right?!" Saya's tone was a little hasty.

"It's okay, it's just that I encountered some zombies," Sebastian said with a smile.

"Um." Seeing that Sebastian looked completely fine, Saya finally felt relieved and nodded to him.

She turned her head to look behind Sebastian, and there were four more soldiers, guessing in her heart that other squads should have come to join him. Although Saya still doesn't know his true identity, she can't help but lament the strength of the organization's military. I'm afraid that group troops have already infiltrated Japan.

Her gaze continued to move and finally settled on Maresato and the others. Apart from him and his daughter, Alice, there were three or four people with him, all of whom were selected by Maresato who still maintained human morality. Although Sebastian needs more workers to ensure the operation of the base, he will not allow the existence of the black sheep.

Saya noticed the existence of Alice, and the other party seemed to have not recovered from the crisis she just encountered, and her eyes were still a little dull. At this moment, Saya squatted in front of Alice and stretched out her hand with a smile on her face.

"My name is Saya Takagi, what's your name?"

"Alice, Alice Maresato..." Alice looked a little nervous, after all, this was her first meeting with Saya.

For this kind of survivor stronghold, Alice still had a shadow in her heart. Although she didn't know that her father Maresato was injured to protect her, she could also keenly feel the hostility from strangers. But in front of Saya, Alice did not have the same feeling as the survivors in the previous stronghold, but a very close feeling.

"It's okay, you'll be safe here." Saya stroked Alice's hair, which gradually calmed down the latter's uneasy mood.

Maresato looked around, completely unaware that Fujimi High School was transformed into such an orderly refuge by Sebastian, which was almost completely different from the previous chaotic stronghold.

"Thank you very much, Mr.Sebastian," Maresato said gratefully to Sebastian. Originally, he was still worried about how he and his daughter Alice would survive after escaping from the stronghold.

In the story, he took Alice to seek help from strangers but lost his life. Although Alice was rescued, she could only go out to explore with the protagonists. But now Maresato and Alice finally found a place to stay.

"There is a condition for joining us, and that is to obey my orders," Sebastian said to them.

"Yes." Maresato nodded.

"Then let's do this first, Saya, you take them to introduce the facilities in the academy first and report the share of the materials collected today later," Sebastian said to Saya.

"Um." Takashiro Saya nodded, stood up, and took Alice's hand, "Let's go, Alice, I'll show you what high school looks like."

"Um-!" A smile finally appeared on Alice's face.

After arranging other things, Sebastian returned to his room and began to deal with the resources obtained today. After looting another stronghold, Sebastian's system resource reserve has also reached 2000G, reaching the level where he can manufacture a War Factory.

However, Sebastian believes that the current resource acquisition speed is still not enough. Currently, the resources that can be collected every day are only a few hundred points, which will not keep up with the explosive speed of the War Factory in the future.

To be able to support high-intensity troops, Sebastian needs more sources of income and more jewelry gold. Examples include jewelry stores, banks, vaults, etc. But these locations are all in downtown areas, and the number of zombies inside must be quite terrifying. I'm afraid it's tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

The current military strength is far from enough, even with a few vehicles. Sebastian estimated in his mind that at least more than a hundred troops and more than twenty vehicles were needed to be able to go to the urban capital. Therefore, Sebastian's top priority now is to choose to continue to produce Infantry is the best choice.

Moreover, the loss of materials inside the academy was not too big. Sebastian also had to find a way to transform the interior of the academy, transforming it from an ordinary school into a real base to ensure internal self-sufficiency.

"Perhaps, this side can be remodeled." If you can be self-sufficient, then you can reduce the risk of going out to find supplies, and others can focus on finding gold and gems.

Sebastian looked at his Barrack option, and his eyes locked on the Engineer. Maybe you can use the power of an Engineer to transform his stronghold. After all, technology is the primary productive force.

"System, can the Engineer carry out work such as base renovation?" Sebastian asked.

[ Yes. ] The system immediately responded, [ Engineers can do all kinds of construction work, but even 0-stars have professional knowledge that ordinary people can't match. ]

"Then can they be upgraded like Infantry?" Sebastian continued to ask, the system had introduced him earlier, infantry can be upgraded by killing enemies. So can an Engineer do an upgrade?

[ Yes, engineers can upgrade by building and learning knowledge. After reaching 1-star, they can choose a specialization direction, such as sociology, engineering, physics, etc. As the level increases, their work efficiency research speed will be improved, and the items that can be researched will be more advanced. If you study other technologies in the future, you will also need the help of an Engineer. ]
