"Stinky Vikram, you just let Abhi go?" Anjali beside him asked doubtfully.

After all, such a soft-hearted personality didn’t seem like something Vikram would do.

Ron waved his fist, also saying indignantly, "Yeah, that bastard makes me furious. Why didn’t you just chop him to death just now, Big Brother?"

Vikram shook his head. With Team Leader Evan watching their transaction, besides ensuring that nothing would go wrong with the trade, he was also protecting Abhi from being killed on the spot by Vikram.

Those who could become military officers were all very astute. Vikram had forcibly broken Abhi’s hand, yet Team Leader Evan didn’t get angry and say anything to Vikram.

This already showed the other party’s shrewdness.

At the very least, he had succeeded in protecting Abhi.

Although Vikram also wanted to kill Abhi directly, just out of respect for Kashif Ali’s smiling welcome, he had to give some face.

"Sigh~"

Sighing, Vikram played with the two metal tags Kashif Ali had given him before leaving.

Engraved on them were the words ’Pass’ and ’Trade Token’ respectively...

Vikram slowly put away the two metal dog tags in his hand and shook his head.

The other party had clearly been watching him; it was a pity he didn’t kill Abhi on the spot.

He turned and looked at Aiden, compared to Abhishek from Brown Wood Shelter, Aiden was much more honest.

He also gives a few weapons to him, Shalini, Chandan and other members.

He also casually gave them a few boxes of 9mm ammunition.

They were bullets he had acquired from clearing underground zombie nests these past few days, and the Shelter now had over thirty boxes in total.

Others took the pistol from Vikram’s hand and naturally looked at Vikram with gratitude.

Others were practically about to kneel down. While Shalini wants to again enter in his arms.

Vikram smiled, glancing at Savage Wolf Shelter.

He thought it was a pretty good place and could be used as his permanent trading spot in the future.

Having made up his mind, Vikram signaled Ron and the others to load the few livestock into the RV.

The wild buffalo and sheep were too large; the RV barely fit them. After all four were squeezed in, the RV’s rear wheels sank deep into the snow.

The remaining three ducks could only be placed in the Armored Vehicle’s trunk.

Seeing that there was nothing else here, Vikram settled things with Shalini and got into the Armored Vehicle for the return journey.

—

In the dead of night, two conspicuous vehicles slowly drove through the gates of the territory 2 perimeter wall.

Choosing Savage Wolf Shelter as the trading location had the advantage of making it difficult for others to trace back to Vikram’s Territory, but it also had its disadvantages.

Even with vehicles like the Armored Vehicle and RV, the round trip still took five or six hours on the road.

Everyone in the car was famished upon arriving home.

Today, the members of Vikram’s Territory gathered for dinner, a rare occurrence.

Seeing his subordinates so harmonious, Vikram smiled with satisfaction.

He picked up a piece of crispy chicken and put it in his mouth.

The crispy texture and rich oil burst in his mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance.

Especially after a busy day, returning from the cold outside to the warm territory, that one bite was even more intoxicating.

The only pity was that while there were many dishes on the table, there were few drinks.

Although Vikram himself wasn’t particularly addicted to alcohol, when this group of people gathered, the atmosphere felt a bit lacking without some wine.

Everyone gathered around a large wooden table, enjoying the food and chatting happily.

After the food on the plates was all gone, Vikram picked his teeth, then slowly asked:

"How was it, Sister Ginny? Were there any ill-intentioned Survivors loitering around our Shelter today?"

This outing was actually somewhat risky.

Vikram had killed Snape’s biological son, yet the other party hadn’t made a move for so long.

This situation made him more uneasy than if the other party had retaliated directly.

Ginny, hearing this, sat up straight, her expression becoming serious.

"Vikram Boss, I’ve been guarding the observation room all day today. There wasn’t a single survivor, it’s just..."

"Just what?"

"The Zombies outside appeared again today."

"What?!"

"These damn Zombies finally hid underground obediently for a while, and now they’re coming out again today?!"

Before Vikram could respond, Ron already slammed the dining table.

As one of only two Survivors in the team who had been bitten by Zombies, he hated Zombies the most.

Vikram showed no reaction.

The appearance of Zombies wasn’t an unpredictable event; on the contrary, he already knew that Zombies would gradually reappear from underground.

At that time, there would likely not be as many Zombies, but their overall strength would significantly improve.

"In the next few days, the Survivors responsible for guarding the observation room must pay close attention to the movements of the Zombies."

"As soon as there’s any situation or change, immediately contact me in the group chat."

The underground Zombie lair was essentially a product created to allow the Epic-level Zombie to advance in rank.

Vikram didn’t care about the other Mutated Zombies, but the fact that these Zombies were showing signs of reappearing indicated that some Zombies had already successfully advanced.

If it was just an advancement to a half Legendary-level purple-gold rank Zombie, he could accept it.

But if it was a Legendary-level rank, then it was a buffet for him, after all, in his territory, many of the Druids have not evolved.

At that time, he would probably have to hunt the Legendary.

After dinner, the two groups returned to their respective resting places.

Vikram was just thinking of sitting on the sofa to rest for a while, digest his food, then shower and sleep, when Divya leaned over at that moment.

Raising an eyebrow, Vikram reached out a hand to caress Divya’s slender waist, revealing a smile.

"What’s wrong? Want to wash up and sleep with me?"

Divya’s face flushed slightly, and she let out a coquettish huff.

"Go on, be serious. I have something to say."

Although Divya told Vikram to be serious, she didn’t pry away Vikram’s large hand wrapped around her waist.

Instead, she leaned into his embrace like a docile kitten, pretending not to care as she continued, "It’s about Abhi from today."

"I don’t know if it’s just a feeling, but I always felt that letting him go today was a mistake."

A hint of worry appeared in Divya’s eyes.

Seeing Divya’s serious expression, Vikram raised an eyebrow, his smile fading.

"Oh, how so?"

He had let the other party go today out of helplessness, and he himself did feel a bit of a regret.

After all, it was equivalent to letting go of a Survivor who harbored animosity towards him, and trouble would definitely come knocking later.

However, Vikram already had more than one or two troubles, so this one wasn’t much of an addition.

Therefore, compared to other troubles, Vikram quickly forgot about this matter.

Moreover, he only has a little regret, because the Phanty has already marked him.

It was just the range was so far, or else, Abhi should have died till now. He also regrets that he didn’t bring Space Mage with him, or else, in his hand should be Abhi’s head.

Now that Divya brought it up, he asked curiously.

"Look." Divya, nestled in Vikram’s arms, raised her wrist, displaying the chat function on the Survival Platform.

Inside was a message sent to Divya by an unfamiliar Survivor.

"I finally found you, my Goddess Divya!"

"Don’t worry, I will rescue you from that disgusting maggot. Just wait a little longer, it’ll be soon!"

"At that time, I will personally dismember Vikram, that scoundrel who kidnapped you, right in front of you. Wait for my good news, my Goddess!"

Vikram glanced at the sender of the message, "Sunny?"

"You know him? Another crazy admirer?" Vikram looked at Divya in his arms with a somewhat meaningful gaze.

"Oh, come on, stop teasing me, okay? I don’t have that many strange admirers."

"Besides, even if they were pursuing... would it even be their turn now?"

"I’m already yours, you scoundrel~" Divya’s eyes were seductive, and perhaps fearing Vikram’s misunderstanding, she heavily kissed Vikram’s lips after speaking.

Afraid that Vikram might harbor some baseless resentment, Divya, who was usually shy about such things, was exceptionally proactive.

A full three minutes passed, and it wasn’t until Vikram felt his lips were almost numb that they finally separated.

When Divya, breathing heavily and her mouth filled with Vikram’s taste, looked up and saw the triumphant look on Vikram’s face, she immediately flared up.

"Oh, you! I’m talking about serious business with you, and you’re messing with me again!" Divya said angrily, then punched Vikram in the chest.

"Hehe!"

"How else would you be so proactive?" Vikram said, a wicked smile spreading across his lips.

Of course, he could tell who sent the message to Divya.

After all, among the people Vikram knew, no one was this idiotic except for Sunny Dalal.

He figured Divya had blocked Sunny Dalal’s friend request a long time ago, so he found someone else to contact Divya.

Vikram secretly thought that he had indeed guessed correctly today.

"That Abhi and Sunny Dalal should be brothers?"

"Definitely. Otherwise, how could Sunny Dalal have come looking for us tonight, after we were targeted for no reason this afternoon?"

Divya put away her playful thoughts, her expression returning to normal, and said with certainty.

"What do we do after that? Should we be more careful when we go out?"

Divya stared at Vikram with wide eyes and asked.

"Just go out as usual, no need to overthink it."

"Even if they came to this place, they will never be able to return. Always remember, in this place, nothing can touch us."

Hearing this Divya smile, she knew, this place was an invincible territory, nothing can breach it.

Vikram rubbed his forehead in thought. "Aren’t you on good terms with Radhika and Geetanjali from the group?"

"Just have them help you inquire about it these two days."

"We’ll be trading for gasoline soon anyway, so they probably won’t refuse such a small favor." Divya nodded upon hearing this, a smile returning to her face.

"Alright!" After speaking, for some reason, Divya suddenly fell silent. But Vikram knew how to comfort her, so he took her in his bed.

Following that, Anjali, Sophia and Anju all arrived.

The sun was high in the sky.

Yesterday’s battle had caused Vikram and his wives to oversleep once again.

Vikram gently pulled his numb arm from behind Divya’s neck.

The electric shock-like sensation made him gasp.

However, despite his movements being careful enough, he still inevitably woke up Divya, who was lying beside him.

They exchanged glances, recalling the madness of last night, both feeling a bit shy.

Vikram was fine, after all, his physique was there. Aside from a slight ache in his lower back, he felt almost nothing.

But Divya, who had challenged him again yesterday, was in a lot of pain.

Because she was no longer a combat novice, Vikram didn’t go easy on her like the first time.

So, compared to last time, even if Divya later used all her tricks, she couldn’t escape the fate of surrendering.

Stretching, Vikram casually opened the Survival Platform and glanced at the date.
