Arranging for Lynn and her daughter

The zombies in the eastern area of the Rose Garden were twice as many as those in the western area. Anthony initially thought he could handle them in two hours, but it ended up taking two and a half hours.

After killing a total of 500 zombies, Anthony put away his knife. He gradually sensed that all these zombies were transforming into the type of zombies found in the zombie fragment. He collected the crystals, closed his backpack, and just as he was about to return to prepare to meet the mother and daughter, a scream echoed.

"What do you want?"

"Tell us, what did that guy give you? Hand it over!"

It was Lynn's voice along with several men, and there was also the sound of a little girl crying.

Anthony's face turned cold. He had only been away for a short while, and these bastards were already bullying people. It seemed necessary to give these scum a proper warning. He pointed his toes and in the blink of an eye, he leaped to the entrance of the community.

Sure enough, across the street, a mother and daughter were surrounded by a group of men. One of them was the bald guy from upstairs, while the others held onto the little girl. "Let go of my daughter, please, I've already given you my necklace, what else do you want?"

"What else?" Bald Elmo sneered, "If it weren't for you screaming so loudly, how would that monster have been attracted here? It's all because of you that all of my supplies were ruined! If I don't use your daughter as collateral, what else can I use?"

Saying that, Elmo's voice turned cold, "And also, what did that guy give you? Hand it all over to me right now!"

"I didn't receive anything, nothing at all. Give me back my daughter!" Lynn cried, trying to get up and snatch her daughter back.

But as soon as she got up, Elmo kicked her to the ground and said coldly, "Brothers, let's teach this woman a lesson. It's because of her that our brothers can't have a proper meal!"

"Yes!" Elmo gave the order, and several lackeys immediately surrounded Lynn. They looked at her with hostile eyes. It was all because of this woman. If it weren't for her attracting that thing, their comfortable days wouldn't have turned into a nightmare.

Just as the men were about to attack, a flurry of knife shadows flashed by. The men who were about to strike suddenly froze in place. Elmo angrily looked at them and cursed, "Why the hell are you all standing still? Attack!"

As he spoke, a spray of blood splattered onto his face, making it difficult for him to open his eyes. He quickly wiped the blood from his face and opened his eyes, only to find that all six of his lackeys had their heads relocated.

"Oh my god, it's a ghost!" Elmo screamed in terror. He didn't even care about the mother and daughter in front of him as he turned around and ran. But just as he took two steps, a flash of the knife passed through his neck.

With a thud, his head fell to the ground. A fountain of blood gushed from his severed neck. Lynn's heart almost stopped at the sight, and Lucy beside her was stunned in place. Lynn quickly pulled her daughter over and held her tightly, comforting her, "Lucy, don't be afraid. Super Uncle defeated these bad guys."

"Mom, Lucy knows. These bad guys bullied Mom and deserve to be killed."

"It's okay, it's okay." Lynn thought her daughter was just saying those words because she was disturbed. What can a six-year-old child really understand?

"Alright, come with me." Anthony's voice sounded nearby. Lynn hesitated for a moment, then looked at Anthony holding the blood-stained Tang knife, and her body involuntarily trembled.

"If you're afraid, you can stay here." Anthony sensed Lynn's fear and said calmly.

Lynn suppressed her fear and shook her head, saying, "Before the apocalypse, they were the local scoundrels and hooligans. They've always done despicable things, and after the apocalypse, they became even more brazen, treating human lives as insignificant. Many neighbors have died at their hands. They deserve to be killed."

"It's good that you understand. However, if one day you dare to betray me, your fate will be the same as theirs." After saying that, Anthony stepped forward, but he slowed down his pace. Lynn held her daughter and followed behind, maintaining a certain distance. Before long, a private house appeared in front of them.

Anthony said, "Open the door."

"Please enter, master." A mechanical voice sounded, and the gate automatically opened to both sides. Lynn was shocked by Anthony's actions, especially the futuristic interior design inside, which made her wonder if she was dreaming. As the mother and daughter entered, the gate closed quickly.

Anthony looked around and noticed that Dash and the others hadn't returned yet. He also glanced at the dirty mother and daughter in front of him. The Eye of Data opened.

[Overall Combat Power]: 1.75"

Anthony looked at the information of the two individuals and nodded silently. Lynn didn't deceive him, especially with that cooking skill reaching the master level. The agriculture and tailoring skills were intermediate, and there was also a peculiar advanced management skill, which was intriguing.

The skills were not low, and the friendliness was at 80, which was decent, even higher than Verna's initial level. Lynn's daughter, on the other hand, surprised Anthony. Her friendliness reached 90, and it meant that regardless of what he said, the other person would trust him unconditionally, according to the system's explanation.

However, in order to stay in the base, they still needed to be observed for a period of time. With that in mind, Anthony said, "There is a bathroom on the first floor. You and Lucy can go wash up, and I will prepare some clean clothes for you. Also, there are ingredients in the refrigerator that you can use freely. As for where you will stay..."

Anthony paused for a moment and pointed to the yard outside the door, saying, "I will give you a military tent and sleeping mats. You can temporarily stay in the yard. Is that okay?"

"No, it's already very good," Lynn expressed her gratitude. To be able to provide them with food and accommodation in such an environment, she felt like it was already heaven.

"Well, I have some matters to attend to later. After you finish eating, just stay in the recreational area obediently," Anthony arranged. His decisions were not without reason. The rooms in the base were reserved for important members, and since they were not members yet and their friendliness hadn't reached the required level, they couldn't be assigned a room for now.

Besides, the backyard was actually quite suitable. Apart from being a bit spacious, it had temperature control, good air quality, and was fully enclosed. There was no need to worry about encountering danger. For ordinary survivors, such a location could be considered heavenly.

After settling the mother and daughter, Anthony retrieved some clothing from the warehouse and placed it at the bathroom door before instructing them to enter. Then, he left directly. He needed to head to Yanghe North Road. It was already afternoon, and Dash and the others hadn't returned yet. It was possible that they encountered some trouble.
