(Kyosei's View)
With the rampage of the refitted pickup, and with the addition of Kaito's precise shooting skills, the undead that was a big threat before were all swept and killed as we pass by the roads of Osaka to return to the temporary base, the Tsutenkaku tower.
Honestly, seeing the power of the piyavka weapons, I felt like I also want them but I don't want to be arrogant about it. With the extreme power the piyavka holds, I don't want myself to get swallowed by it. However, the piyavka will indeed bolster our strength against the undead. Once I have the chance, I will ask those two back on the Bang Gun store to forge me a good weapon that I can use to kill the dead.
Without the usual threat that stops us from progressing the roads a lot faster, we have already reached the base of the Tsutenkaku Tower. As usual, the gates that are made to repel the dead are all surrounded by the dead while the soldiers are shooting relentlessly on top of the walls.
”I never would have thought that there would come a day that I would find it normal for the dead to be gathering in the Tsutenkaku Tower. Just a few days ago, this place was just a famous tourist spot but now it became a sort of new safe haven for us,” Souichi sighed.
”It certainly was. But it is something we have to get used to. Just rejecting it will not change the world's situation. Just living for the next day is the only thing that is usually the most widely known force that drives the people to continue fighting. If we have to return our normal lives, I bet it will be more years after this.”
”Then let's reclaim the land that is rightfully for the humans,” I immediately said.
”Huh?” the three looked at me in unison.
”I am reluctant as the appointed leader. I am not suited for this sh*t but I want everyone that followed me to this battle satisfied with my leadership. Of course, it is not my obligation since you all bunch just appointed me and pressured me to be the leader but I also want us to live peacefully without the fighting against the undead. If possible, I want to reclaim the whole Osaka bit by bit,” I suggested.
”Reclaiming the whole Osaka from the dead? Isn't that going to take a long time and resources will be needed too.”
”Now that the government abandoned us and just holed up in Tokyo without any plans to help for the extraction of the survivors, it's up to us to ensure our long term survival. Reclaiming the city's infrastructure bit by bit and making enclaves and liberating the streets from the dead will allow us to reduce the undead roaming around,” I proposed.
”That is a good idea Kyosei, but what about the Night Rage? With a bigger base means a bigger scope of the undead horde means harder besiege battle. It would cost us a lot of manpower and a whole lot of resources just to do the defense,” Souichi pointed out.
”Well, that is quite true too. And I hate recruiting other survivors a lot. This is going to be a pain. Tch, that is why becoming a leader is quite a pain in the arse,” I grumbled.
”What you suggested is good Kyosei. However, we still have so many things we have to consider and many more things to look out for. If you plan to expand the scope of the base, we will be really using manpower and just as Souichi said, we will be needing a lot of manpower if we want that to happen. I suggest that you ask Commander Haru on this one. He might have a say on this suggestion of yours,” Chie said.
