"Don’t worry, just as I said previously, do what I want, serve me properly, and there is nothing impossible to gain."

"Thank you Boss Vikram." Alex said, while others chanted beside him.

"Long Live Boss Vikram."

"Long Live Boss Vikram."

But the Chandan was one step forward in licking.

"As long as fire burns and thunder calls, Vikram Boss will never fall!"

"As long as mountains stand tall, Vikram Boss will conquer all!"

Hearing his chanting, others also started chanting it.

Even Vikram started blushing hearing this all. But now it was time to go home, he climbed on the RV.

There was already a manual inside, but he didn’t care about it, since he had also driven the truck, so it was not so difficult.

"Goodbye Boss Vikram, goodbye Boss Vikram," Alex, Chandan and behind them the people cheered, everyone was happy, except for Sunil.

While he was going towards home, he didn’t forget to open the chat channel to check the activity inside. As expected, the channel was almost entirely about the relic reappearing.

However, he only briefly scanned it, not daring to look closely.

For Vikram, he was only leaving the dirt behind, so he didn’t care about it.

Since the RV has a lot of space, he also put the Universal Vehicle inside it.

Gazing at the sky, which was already nearing night, he was riding at full speed off in the direction he had come from.

Looking at his Sprout Teams, he knew they also needed to go to the territory, to recover back completely and then the upgrade would start.

[Director Aditya: This relic is a bit close to my Shelter. I plan to go explore it.]

[Director Aditya: Are there any other group members in the chat who want to go together? We can look out for each other.]

In the small group, the Vice Group Leader rarely made a personal request.

[Lakshya Verma: I heard that the anomaly from this relic is even bigger than last time. I estimate there will be a lot of good things.]

[Lakshya Verma: If the Vice Group Leader is going, then I, as the Group Leader, certainly won’t back down.]

[Radhika: Treasures, ah, I want them too, but with such conspicuous treasures appearing, there will definitely be fierce competition.]

[Radhika: I’ll pass. It’s safer to just guard my own little plot of land.]

[Bobby: Count me in. I also think it’s too dangerous. By then, it’s very likely to be a bloody fight, and the things gained won’t even be enough to heal oneself.]

[Geetanjali: Shalini, your Savage Wolf Shelter will definitely go this time, right? I heard the other two Shelters are trying to get there.]

[Shalini: Maybe. I’m not too sure. I’m not a high-ranking member in the Shelter, so it’s not my place to make decisions.]

[Director Aditya: Well, it seems only Lakshya Verma and I in the group plan to go. Alright, Lakshya Verma, when you get there, let me know your location, and I’ll come find you.]

[Lakshya Verma: No problem, remember to bring a few more people, otherwise it really might be a bit dangerous.]

The group’s atmosphere fell silent as the two left, showing that they were somewhat afraid of exploring the relic.

This was understandable. Just the overwhelming messages in the chat channel indicated that many Survivors, having learned from the last experience, were no longer waiting and seeing this time.

Fearing falling behind other Survivors, many Survivor factions wanted to travel thousands of miles to the relic to get a share, which speaks to the dangers involved.

However, all of this no longer had any relation to Vikram, the relic’s biggest beneficiary.

At this moment, nearing late night, Vikram relied on coordinates and his memory to ride his RV back near the Territory.

Upon arriving near his Territory gate, he saw that many beasts and humans had died. He also noticed that his five Bloodvines and Thornvines were damaged.

Without hesitation, he placed five Bloodvines and Thornvines, along with the newly obtained ten Demonvines.

The gate opened, and he entered inside. From then until now, while driving, he had also been teaching the Guardian Druid and Healer Druid how to operate the vehicle.

Both of them quickly understood, and it became easy for them to handle. The Guardian Druid quickly parked the RV.

"Boss, you have arrived back," Sophia shouted, seeing Vikram return.

"Yeah, and now I am hungry," Vikram said, looking at Sophia.

"Tell me boss, what do you want to eat?" Sophia asked, looking at him.

"I wanted to eat you," Vikram said, and before Sophia understood his words completely, he picked her up, and entered inside the Treehouse.

Rest of the things, there is nothing to say. Since he was already fed up by, Sana, Ayesha, Kavya and even Carol looks.

All of the frustration he has gathered till now, started releasing inside Sophia.

Sophia didn’t do anything except serve her master and moan his name with love. Before he falls asleep.

---

On the outside of the territory, Guardian Druid, Warrior Druid, Archer Sprouts, Assassin Sprout, Phantom Sprout, Healer Sprout, Fire Mage Sprout, Light Mage Sprout and Water Mage Sprout, all have recovered and started glowing for the next update.

They have also sowed the seeds of three Mage Sprout and Archer Sprouts with his favourite place near the gate inside of the territory sowed the seeds of Vine Sniper Tower.

After waking up, he grabbed some food made by Soohia and then went to look towards his harvest of the Zombie Ruin.

"First, various types of metal." He started separating based on their types in the warehouse first.

It’s worth mentioning that his warehouse was also nearly full, mainly because meat from different animals couldn’t be stacked in a single warehouse slot.

Food alone consumed over a dozen slots in the warehouse, plus the various building materials he already possessed.

His already limited storage space immediately became even more strained.

He decided to trade the food, after keeping himself and Sophia for a month. He also decided to give some to his henchmen.

He also decided to build a cold storage in the future, specifically for storing small quantities of rare food, which wouldn’t take up too much space."

Currently, all basic supplies were stored, and next were the spoils from this trip.

"Virus Serum..." This Epic-level item was a supply contained in a small briefcase. He gently opened it, revealing three light-blue vials and a syringe. He has previously two syringes and four light-blue vials, but after giving one to Alex, this all he has left.

Both items were primarily made of glass, with silver-white metal embedded in their frames.

He already knew the effects of the Virus Serum, but seeing this item, Vikram’s mood was very complex.

The good news was that he had precious supplies that could prevent zombie infection.

The bad news was that the appearance of this item surely meant that zombies would inevitably become part of the natural disaster.

This was far more dangerous than simple weather changes; at least extreme cold and heat disasters wouldn’t knock on your door, but zombies would.

"Zombies, huh..." On the sofa, Vikram’s eyes were unfocused as he muttered the word.

Snapping out of it, he patted his face, "No matter what, I’m someone who has faced Zombie King Split King . What are mere zombies?"

The Legendary-level item from the ruin’s treasure chest was on his parking harbour and one was in his inventory.

He hadn’t forgotten; there was still a purple-gold treasure chest dropped by the Zombie Leader.

From his backpack, he took out an unopened box.

Judging by the chest’s purple main body with golden patterns, this was another purple-gold quality box.

Slowly opening it, four items appeared before his eyes.

[High-Energy Electric Drill: Purple, Epic-quality digging tool, powerful functionality while being extremely power-efficient, suitable for gopher Survivors.]

[Tungsten Steel Hammer: Purple, Zombie Leader’s weapon. When wielding this weapon, strength is slightly increased. Swinging the weapon has a very small chance to trigger a critical strike.]

[Virus Serum x2: Purple, a serum that inhibits the spread of the zombie virus in the body, can be used within one hour of infection.]

[Winter Coat: Blue, a warm piece of cold-weather clothing with good insulation.]

Looking at the few resources that appeared, Vikram’s heart sank. It was also a Purple Gold Treasure Chest, but this time the resources seemed somewhat useless.

Not only were there no gold-level items, but there was even a blue-quality item among them, just to make up the numbers.

Not to mention the Tungsten Steel Hammer; Vikram got angry when he saw it appear again.

He had already taken this weapon, but after killing the Zombie Leader, the weapon surprisingly disappeared from his backpack along with it.

Now, it appeared from the box again. Vikram couldn’t help but feel that this reward was meant to fool him.

"Has its size shrunk?" Holding the Tungsten Steel Hammer in his hand, compared to the colossal size it had when the Zombie Leader used it, the Tungsten Steel Hammer was now perfectly suited for his grip.

But still he felt it was useless, since he directly didn’t battle, it may be worth trading.

Looking at the other items, among the four, the only one Vikram hadn’t seen before was the Epic-level drill.

But still, it didn’t need it, with the many Plants Sprout having, he didn’t worry about drilling, still he kept it for future uses.

[High-Energy Drill: Extremely efficient at excavating various types of stone. Special ability: The power consumption generated by this drill’s excavation is extremely low.]

The Epic-level drill was about half a person’s height, and its heavy texture and reflective metal drill head hinted at its extraordinary excavation efficiency.

However, he wasn’t in the mood to study these things further. And he didn’t even go outside to check the things.

He just wasted the whole day while resting, eating and doing exercise with Sophia, before falling asleep.
