"Change location?"
"Yes, this place is not safe"
With my words, the Takagi couple begin to think, it is good that they are reasonable and don't get offended when I say that all their hard work isn't safe and has not been of any use.
"I think we have kept the mansion safe enough, I don't think it has problems"
"It's true Alexander-kun, our house is still tough, and if you're worried we can try to improve the defenses"
Although they are reasonable, it seems that they find it difficult to leave their home, but there are points that they overlooked since they have only focused on strengthening the main fence a bit believing that this is enough.
"No, this house's location is bad, we are surrounded by zombies and we do not know how they will behave in the future, the fence can withstand tens of them, maybe even some hundreds, but when we talk about thousands or tens of thousands it is totally different story, it will not resist for too long and will only be trampled by them.
Assuming we manage to reinforce the defenses so that they do not pass and manage to contain them, we'll only change the way we die, instead of being eaten, it will be starvation that will end us. It is better to look for a place a little ways away from the city where we only have to deal with zombies from one side. "
The more I speak, Yuriko-san's face pales accordingly and Soichiro seems to take my words seriously. They look at each other for a few seconds and after Yuriko-san nods then Soichiro says.
"We had not seen it that way ... we were just worried about blocking their passage, but the things you said are very likely to happen. I will talk to the others and make preparations to mobilize and change places... but now the problem is where we will move to." -Soichiro
"Alexander-kun, you seem to be a very intelligent child, now I see why the others trust in you so much, even our Saya seems to have some interest in you." -Yuriko
"Mom!!" -Saya
"Yes, Alex-kun is a very intelligent boy ... but also a little precocious" -Shisuka
The couple seems to accept my suggestion, so Yuriko-san says that trying to pick on me, Saya being embarrassed yells at her mother, but only gets a smile from her in return, as for Shisuka, she makes those majestic mounds even more noticeable when she inflates her chest… calling me precocious.
Her posture makes everyone direct their gaze to her chest ... with the exception of Soichiro, is that guy a robot? No, you can't fool me, I could see for a second that he clenched his fists trying to control himself. Hahaha, maybe you can't enjoy watching because of your wife, but I can, now die of jealousy watching me delight my eyes with them.
"Aaah!"
When I turn my head to see them more clearly, I feel someone stomp on my foot, I don't have to guess who the person that did it was, with the angry look Kurisu is giving me, I know that it was her. Damn it, love hurts.
This is your fault Shisuka, you will pay for it later, I will also make you experience how precocious I am for having said that last thing.
"You will have to make an effort Saya, it seems that you have a lot of competition"
"Mom! Stop talking about that, we're talking about other serious matters!!!"
Most smile at the interaction between mother and daughter, only Kurisu looks at me with accusing eyes, Saeko has a serious face, but smiles a little when our eyes meet and Shisuka as usual is in her own world. Of all, what causes me the most discomfort, are without a doubt, Soichiro's eyes that stare at me, but from his rigid face I can't be sure if he's not happy with me.
"Well, Alexander-kun do you have any suggestions where it would be appropriate?" -Yuriko
"I'm sorry, I can't help with that, I don't know the area well" -Alex
"I see ... Soichiro, what place do you think is the most suitable to go?" -Yuriko
"... The most isolated would be the airport that was built on the sea" -Soichiro
Yuriko-san resumes the conversation, unfortunately I cannot help her with what she asks me, leaving aside that I don't know the area, I don't even know what city we are in ...
The names of some places come from the mouths of those assembled here, but they are also rejected due to different problems that are named by others. Some are far away, others remain too exposed to zombies or do not seem to have adequate defenses.
"We could also try to reach the neighboring city of Kinato" -Soichiro
"Kinato? Why should we try to go there if we have discarded places that are closer in the nearby areas of this city?" -Alex
"Before we lost communication with the world, a message was issued that the government had created a survival camp there. Kinato has a military base very close to the city, the main industry there is agriculture, it doesn't have such a large population, so the amount of zombies has to be much smaller than in other places and besides with all the barns there they should have enough food " -Soichiro
With every phrase that Soichiro said it seemed the best place without a doubt, there was only one big problem for me. That was that, if that camp was created by the government, I'm certain that some politicians or influential people are the ones who run it.
"I don't think we should approach any survivor camp for now" -Alex
"Why?" -Soichiro
"Unfortunately I do not believe that all people have a strong and integrated mentality like yours, Soichiro. With the fear of death, and laws ceasing to be applied or people changing them to their liking, no doubt all these places will become small kingdoms ruled directly by those who created them. If something that threatens their place on the throne appears, I'm sure they will not hesitate to get rid of it" -Alex
"... I don't think others will allow them to do that" -Soichiro
"The problem is no longer whether or not someone allows them to do it, it is whether the person has the power to do it or not. For example, a military man who has control of weapons, politicians who continue to borrow the power of a government that most likely doesn't exist anymore. With the power of weapons or influence they once had, they can intimidate the general population to comply with their orders. In simple words, the world has become total anarchy." -Alex
"..." -Soichiro
"... Soichiro, I think Alexander-kun is right about things. How many people have we seen trying to steal, rape and kill when we have looked for survivors. It is too risky to go to such a distant place, to find that it is even worse than the one we left." -Yuriko
Soichiro remained silent, thinking, until his wife reminds him of the dark side they have seen of humanity these last few days. Honestly if normal people have lost their mind succumbing to their worst desires, I don't want to think about what happened to politicians who never had a good reputation in the first place.
Moreover, what affects me the most is that they probably won't count as people I save if I don't have a leadership role in that group. It is better to create my own survivor camp for now and when I have enough power I can talk on the same level with them and maybe if I play my cards right, I can integrate their population as well.
"Then we continue to have the same problem, we still have no idea where to go"
Someone in the room says and everyone tries again to think about the places they know, Suddenly Rei, remembering something speaks out.
"I remember now, my dad told me that they were building a new amusement park on the edge of the city, he had to go check the place to process licenses with the Mayor"
"An amusement park? Well, it would certainly be a large place and if it is outside the city, the location is also good. But if it only has a simple thin wire mesh circling its perimeter, it won't withstand many zombies" -Alex
It seems like a good place, but reinforcing the entire perimeter would be a lot of work ... although it is the best place so far.
"You're wrong Alexander, my dad told me that the one who built the park was a rather eccentric rich person. Since he liked Medieval and European castles, he spent a lot of money to build walls around the park emulating one."
"Now that Rei-chan mentions it, I remember hearing something about that."
Due to Rei's description, the place seems better and better the more she speaks, also being a rich person things should have been mentioned in Yuriko's circle of friends. It seems to be about 40-50km from here. The park is completely surrounded by walls, in front of it is the road that connects it with the city and to the back is a mountain.
It has it's own water wells to stock up and gasoline powered generators. It has a large area of a couple of kilometers within the walls, so we can accommodate many people inside.
"It seems to be our best option"
"I agree"
"Yes"
With everyone in agreement, we finished with the selection of the place for the new camp, now we only have to tell the others so we can transport the necessary things.
"How many people are refugees in your home, Soichiro?"
"Hmn? I'm ashamed to say, but we haven't had time to keep track of every person we rescued ... an approximate number would be about 80 people. Of those, about 20 are those who have been responsible for finding more survivors and obtaining resources for the others."
The total number of people we have to move is about 100 when we include those I brought... certainly it will be impossible to move that whole group in silence without making too much noise, so we will probably attract a lot of zombies' attention.
In addition, maintaining order and protecting everyone will be a challenge, but this is the first step for creating my survivors camp, I must do it and the better my performance is when directing them, the more confidence I will get from the survivors.
"Well, everyone should be hungry. Why don't we eat and finish talking about how to proceed after we fill our stomachs? Everyone can think during our short break and present any idea that may be attractive afterwards."
Yuriko-san speaks and the others nod with a smile to her words, it is not bad to take things slow and calm down a bit, it is also not healthy that everyone it always under a lot pressure.
"Thank you, Yuriko-san"
"I can help to prepare the food, Yuriko-san"
""Me too""
We begin to get up from our seats and walk out of the room, Saeko, Kurisu and other girls walk towards Yuriko-san offering to help. We separated in two groups, those who prepared the food and those who waited, of the girls in my group the only one who stays with us is Shisuka, as not everyone in my group was at the meeting before, I then ask.
"Where are the others?" -Alex
"Misuzu-chan and Niki-chan found some of their family. It is a pity that Misuzu-chan's father died, and Niki-chan's brother is still missing, they both stayed to talk to their relatives.
Yamada-kun and Yuki-chan, they told me they would talk to the other group from school so that they don't keep messing with you Alex-kun, they are worried because the group bullied you again, I think they don't want that group to turn into bad guys." -Shisuka
"... no, I'm sure they are more concerned that Alexander-san retaliates against the others" -Komuro
Komuro continued after Shisuka, Hirano nods strongly to his words in accordance with his point of view, I also believe that what he says is more likely than her assumption.
On the other hand, it is a shame that Misuzu and Niki lost some of their relatives. I will have to wait to see how they react to this. As there is nothing to do until they serve the food, I walk to the exit with the others behind me to waste time.
Outside I see Soichiro's men doing their job watching the surroundings, I thought they would have some animosity against me for what happened, but everything seems normal ... the only exception is the man who has a mark on his temple.
The good thing is that when I activate my eyes to see his aura to see if he had any bad intentions against me, he only has the color red, therefore, he should only be upset about what happened, but he does not seem to hold much resentment.
It seems that it was true that they just wanted to take our weapons away to avoid an accident, unfortunately with what is happening in this world, that is not acceptable. Remembering that incident, I turn to Hirano who was on my side and tell him.
"Good job clinging to your weapon, Hirano. At least you have more common sense than the pair of fools who delivered their weapons over when they were simply asked to."
"Eh? This is ... Thanks Alexander-kun!"
After praising him, I patted his shoulder, he is a little puzzled by my words, but then gets happy and smiles at me cheerfully. At his side Komuro just lowers his head in shame without saying anything.

When I touch Hirano's shoulder a system mission is activated, after quickly reading the data, I'm grateful that I don't have to conquer Hirano's heart. When I heard the [Beep] I was a little scared, and I was even more afraid of what the mission might say.
[You don't have to worry about that Alexander, the system knows your sexual preferences as it is connected to you. Unless you're attracted to a guy, you won't get the mission of conquering their heart.]
That's a good thing, but Aurora, with what the system says if I complete that mission, will I be able to obtain any type of vehicle?
[Yes, but I must warn you that they are expensive, it may even be better to get the vehicle you want by yourself in the world you are. That is because apart from the materials, the technological value and knowledge to create them is difficult to access]
... Well, that's certainly true. Nations or companies spend fortunes protecting that information. I only hope that the price requested by the system is not too exorbitant.
Having just praised Hirano I put my eyes on Komuro, when I do so, I hear him swallow. I approach him and also pat his shoulder while I tell him.
"Don't worry we all make mistakes"
[Beep]

As expected, when I touch Komuro I got the same mission as with Hirano, but perhaps because he was the protagonist of the story or maybe something else, the rank of his mission is higher. After he hears my words, he relaxes a little.
Although what I said is true, I don't want him to commit the same mistake again, so I continued with a serious tone.
"But if you ever do such nonsense again, I will make you fight against the zombies with your bare hands."
"Y-yes! I won't separate from my gun again or hand it to someone else"
I nod at his answer and then we look for a place to sit and rest until the food is ready. Finding an appropriate place, we sit down ... Komuro and Hirano look with envy at my direction since my place has soft legs to put my butt and two comfortable cushions to lean my head.
They can't complain, when I was going to sit like the others, Shisuka took me in her arms again, and put me in the position that I am in now. So while she is humming, we wait for the others to call us to eat.
