Six days passed, today was the 7th day in the winter of the second year after the apocalypse.
While the rest of the world seemed desolate as it hid from the cold temperatures of winter, the Sword of Sufferings headquarters still looked crowded.
At the training grounds and special training grounds, hundreds of soldiers were training together. At the usual training ground, the soldiers honed their basics. In the training grounds specifically for elite soldiers, they trained more intensely and more specifically. Fighting each other to improve.
While the generals, in addition to doing basic exercises to strengthen the foundation. They would usually go outside the headquarters because if training seriously, they would definitely cause chaos.
In addition, there are also more crowded places. After the snow was removed, the Great Wall project was not stopped at all. The reason is simple, they have reached the last part. Once the final gap is closed, the project will be completed.
As for the flower garden, the project was stopped and the rare mutated flowers were directly transferred to the greenhouse. In addition, the bakery forest project is considered completed. The plant has been finished planting and grows well in the fall. Since it is rooted in quite a strong, it should still be able to survive through the winter.
In the office, Ark and the higher-ups of the Sword of Sufferings gathered.
“Will the great wall be completed? We can hydrate safely and leisurely after this?”
Sitting in her chair, Lisa said in a excited tone. Although the rest were calm, but they clearly felt quite happy.
“There are still some things to do. After the barrier wall stands, in early spring, we have to plant many special plants to be used as a natural defense wall. In addition, there is still a trench outside the wall, we can fill the bottom with a variety of simple traps.
Arguably. The Great Wall project is far from being fully completed. Even so, we will lay off the workers once the closure is complete. Let them back in spring.”
Hearing Ark's words, many people were shocked. After thinking things through, although somewhat reluctantly, they still agreed. After all, according to the rules of the Sword of Sufferings, they could not let people stay even if it was in the outer circle without paying.
Planting plants in winter is clearly impossible. As for the job of laying traps in the trenches, it was obviously difficult to do because the trenches would be covered in quite dense snow. Even if it could do so by clearing the snow, it was still not so efficient. It is a waste of energy, time and resources to pay workers.
Although quite cruel. What Ark determined was the most rational, and best choice that could benefit the Sword of Sufferings.
“Are we going to take them home for granted?” ask Lisa.
Ark nodded lightly. Lisa did not protest yet, the young man immediately said.
“Just take them on winter break. After all, even though their points (salaries) are spent on renting a place to live, eat, and having fun in the pleasure building, as long as it is not excessive.
The points can be exchanged for supplies and food. So when they returned to their home, where Silver Cross was. Relax there while waiting for spring to arrive.”
“Yes. Although they might feel less comfortable because the place was much worse than the outer circle of Sword of Sufferings.”
Jay said with a grin on his face. Not only him, but everyone knew that the workers would not feel comfortable when they returned. Their lifestyle will change completely. Even if they do not work and are supposed to spend time relaxing, they will not calm down because outside the boundary wall.
“It's none of our business.” Saito said flatly.
“Don't we recruit them, brother? After all, we also lack workers, right?”
Lisa said to Ark with a smile on her face.
“Rejected.” Ark shook his head. “That is different to our original goal of only accepting the elites at a young age. Even if it were to recruit, the people who would be recruited would have to be younger and hardworking. That way, they are more reliable in the development.”
“Of course not. Why do I feel guilty? As you can see, most of them are just greedy and selfish people. Why should I appreciate them? Just because they're older?
Just sorry. What I need is compliance, sure path, and efficiency. Although not all, do not think I do not know that many of them start to delay often. Slightly slow down work for the sake of a comfortable life. Frequent visits to the pleasure building every day, forgetting to save and not thinking what happens if they are suddenly taken out.
Sword of Sufferings good and warm? Then they are blind, or stupid for not even being able to understand the meaning of his name.”
Seeing Ark still as resolute and ruthless as ever, Lisa only frowned, but said nothing. While the rest just shrugged, it seemed to have gotten used to the attitude of the chairman like that. Don't want everything to be troublesome and chaotic ...
They just need to follow their path.

Meanwhile, in the Silver Cross chairman's office.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
The sound of the office door being coughed up sounded loud in the room. Julian frowned, but immediately said.
“Log.”
The office door opened, Berto's figure directly entered into the office with a panicked expression on his face. Without caring about the serious expression on Julian's face, he immediately came forward and said with a stutter.
“I-It's fucked up, Chief! This is so bad!”
“What's up? Take a deep breath. Calm yourself, say everything slowly.”
Hearing Julian's words, Berto instantly stabilized his breathing. After a while, they finally improved. He then looked towards Julian then said with a serious expression.
“There was an accident of the hunting team, Chairman!
According to the information, they were attacked by zombies. Of the twenty-five people, seven were killed and three were seriously injured. According to them, the zombies that were around the stadium area were no longer so calm as usual. It seems they are crazy.”
Hearing Berto's explanation, Julian frowned. The people included in the hunting team were those who had been well-chosen. Being a level 1 warrior that was quite powerful among ordinary humans.
In this long enough time, not only the Sword of Sufferings, but the Silver Cross and Black Panther had also progressed. Due to the continuous cooperation, other than the chairman and vice-chairman, each group had 75 level 1 warriors.
Although not much compared to the extremely outrageous Sword of Sufferings, they were clearly considered strong when compared to the groups out there.
To be able to support the group members and pay them, the fighters would hunt the zombies to get food. Normally they would attract dozens of weak zombies per day to clean up. Who would have thought, not as usual, there was a sudden strangeness.
Having a bad feeling, Julian looked out the window and muttered.
“It looks like I should tell Ark. We should gather to discuss everything.”
