One person was enough to slaughter all the enemies in the entire mall.
As long as Kaito had enough stamina and mental energy, and enough weapons and ammunition, he could do it!
These mutated humans were strong, but no matter how strong, they were just ordinary people before their mutation!
With the martial arts of a War God and master-level marksmanship, Kaito found dealing with them too easy.
As long as their defenses couldn't effectively stop bullets, one shot was enough to kill them.
Unless Kaito was using a pistol, which might require an extra shot for a sure kill; otherwise, they would struggle for a while before dying.
"Phew... are all the loaded magazines empty?"
"Yes, all magazines are out of bullets."
Momo nodded in response. Kaito let out a long breath, took down the hot rifle, then created a rock knife and continued his rampage.
Among the enemies encountered, there was even one who seemed like a third-grade mutated human?
But in front of Kaito, he was no different from a clumsy pig.
If he could easily kill a fourth-grade giant tiger, dealing with these people was even easier.
After clearing most of the mutated creatures and mutated humans on four consecutive floors, the next task was digging crystals from their bodies.
Sure enough...
There were indeed crystals, identical to those from animals.
Although it was a bit repulsive, the fact that crystals couldn't be stained by any dirt made everyone feel a bit better.
Even if you threw it in a trash can, it came out clean. Under a microscope, there wouldn't be any extra bacteria; there was a layer of film that isolated any foreign matter, which could even be blown away.
Only after soaking in water for a long time would this film dissolve.
Yes, that was the setting for these crystals.
"Let's not worry about that for now. There are still two hours until nightfall. Let's quickly grab what we need. Try to pick clean, good quality items."
"As for food, I guess there's not much left."
He had glanced around during the battle; there was indeed little food left, mostly loose items rotten on the ground, it was unclear if they were edible.
What remained were various clothing stores, appliance stores, etc., that hadn't been thoroughly scavenged.
For an hour and a half, they stuffed clean, good quality blankets, change of clothes, detergent, shower gel, even folding metal beds into the armored vehicle.
One vehicle wasn't enough, so Kaito and Misuzu drove one back first, piled the items in the yard, then returned to the mall entrance at dusk and loaded the remaining large amount of supplies into two vehicles.
Night fell like that.
Before they could return, they could already hear the cries of mutated creatures.
But these were minor issues. After a simple meal of compressed biscuits and water to replenish some energy, they fought while driving back.
After a difficult journey back to the gate of the luxury complex, they spent another hour clearing nearby mutated creatures, then closed the gate and returned to the villa's garden.
"Exhausted!"
"Ahh... and we still have to move things downstairs."
"So... who was it that said 'since we're here, let's take it all in one go'?"
"Well, mainly considering the weather might change dramatically tomorrow?"
The women started various complaints and wails. Kaito was also very tired.
After a short rest, they gritted their teeth and slowly moved things into the villa, then through the tunnel to the shelter, and finally organized them one by one into the storage rooms.
Necessary appliances, various daily necessities, everything was available.
Not considering food, they could survive for several years without issue, because there was just so much.
Again, since they were here anyway...
And they didn't want to make another trip, they just took everything they fancied.
All they needed now was to find food.
Indeed, from noon until completion, it took over ten hours. It was now well past midnight.
"Fortunately, we cleared out the mutated creatures outside before coming back."
After showering, Kaito went to the third-floor balcony of the villa and let out a long sigh.
This was good news; it was quiet all around. He could probably shout and hear an echo.
"Kaito-nii, will it get very, very cold tomorrow?"
Shinshui and Momo had also finished showering. They didn't need to help organize the beds, so they came up for some air.
Hmm, the current temperature... probably around 20 degrees? (T/N: All the temperature is in Celcius.)
And it was very humid?
A bit like the return of southern dampness.
"Okay, you two go back down and put on some clothes. Don't catch a cold."
"Hmm... but I'm not cold!"
"Husband-sama, neither am I."
Perhaps this was due to becoming first-grade powerhouses; their resistance to cold had increased.
"...Momo, why do you call Kaito-nii 'Husband-sama'?"
Shinshui had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Hearing Momo call Kaito 'Husband-sama' again, she finally couldn't hold back.
"Well... I am Husband-sama's wife. Even if I'm not now, I will be in the future. So it's normal for me to address him this way in advance."
Momo hesitated slightly, then said matter-of-factly.
Even though she was still young, she would call him that eventually anyway!
"Oh... is that so? Does Momo really like Kaito-nii that much?"
"Yes! I'm deeply attracted to him!"
Momo became animated when this topic came up, her eyes brightening.
"Oh... then can I also..."
"Hmm? Did you say something?"
"No! Nothing! Okay, let's listen to Kaito-nii and go back downstairs first!"
The two girls finished their conversation on the stairs, but Kaito heard everything clearly.
"This might... be a problem..."
Kaito truly had no feelings for the young girl Shinshui. But what if she developed feelings for him?
They would all leave in 28 days!
That would leave Shinshui alone in this world, which might be a huge blow for her...
But what could he do about it?
