32 My General (1/2)

General Shop Level 1, it was what he looked for. Even though the shop was practically useless to him, it was extremely useful for his people.

The shop was selling weapons and armor, the basic quality one, sold at a cheap price. Arming his people so they could hunt the zombie efficiently. But of course, he was not going to fund them to buy the gear.

They had to earn the GC Coin by themselves to buy the gear. Most of the zombies were still in Stage 1, it was not that hard to kill Stage 1 Zombie.

Tang Shaoyang nodded his head with satisfaction with the progress he made. He rubbed his chin, thinking of something.

”Do you have something in mind, Master? You can talk it out to me~” Origin's concerned voice filled the control room.

”Hmm, it's not a problem, but I am thinking where to put the general shop…” After some thought, he placed the general shop in the lobby. The second floor was supposed to be a canteen while the third floor was a dorm for the survivors.

”Ah, talking about the weapon, I forgot to give Lu An the sword…” Yes, from opening the treasure chest, he got a sword from Level 8 Treasure Chest. The sword was a higher class than his Destroyer, but he did not like the sword. He preferred his battle-ax more.

He glanced at the corner of the control room where he put the sword. The silver sword glistening there under the bright light. Tang Shaoyang picked the sword and swung it a few times.

”Hmm, indeed, this sword is not suitable for me…” Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. Then, he took the sword with him out.

*** ***

It was a week since Tang Shaoyang began gathering the survivors. Currently, there were 217 survivors in total. The dormitory on the second floor was filled with survivors and Tang Shaoyang had to open the third floor as a dormitory as well.

So far, all these people joined the Tang Empire and willingly hunted the zombies. He also let these people get their talent to help them in hunting. However, only a handful of guys with good talents, less than ten people to be more exact.

But thanks to General Shop Level 1 which sold basic weapons such as sword, shield, bow, spear, and more. The General Shop helped them a lot and he only lost six people so far.

It was a good process, but he realized he lacked the manpower to manage the administration. From 217 survivors, none of them had experience in management. It was unfortunate, but he managed to organize.

There would be always troublemakers, but he kicked them out already.

A week after the establishment of the Tang Empire. Tang Shaoyang scanned the canteen on the second floor. The canteen was bustling with noise as the survivors chatted at each other, talking about their level and how many zombies they killed today.

Tang Shaoyang was satisfied with the progress so far, but he needed someone to establish the military system. However, once again, none of the survivors were police, let alone soldiers.

He sighed as he walked toward the kitchen to get his dinner. When he arrived at the kitchen, Li Yue greeted him, ”Welcome, Big Brother Tang! Your dinner has been prepared, a steak! My mom made you steak! Let me get it for you~”

With a big smile on his face, Tang Shaoyang rubbed the little girl's head and said, ”Then, please get it for me!”

Li Yue's mother, Li Cuifen was good at cooking. So Tang Shaoyang placed her to manage the kitchen. Not only her, a few women that could cook were working together with her in the kitchen.

It was impossible for Li Cuifen to take care of a hundred people's food alone. This was how he organized the people as he could not do much about it. Of course, there were not a few women who decided to go out and hunt the zombies.

Wei Xi and Wan Jingyi made a team with another three people and their levels were steadily rising.

”B-Big Brother Tang! This is your dinner~” Li Yue seemed to be having a hard time, bringing the plate that almost had the same size as her body, but he managed to carry it in front of him.

Tang Shaoyang took the plate and rubbed the little girl's head once again, ”Thank you, Yue Yue, ~”

”Hehe… No problem… This is my job~” After saying that while hitting her chest, the little girl ran back to the kitchen.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and headed toward his table. There was a table that was always empty and the survivors took it as his private table. No one dared to eat on this table except for Lu An.

Tang Shaoyang placed the plate and opened the lit, two kilos meat steak. It was his menu for dinner. He finished the two kilos meat in a jiffy and after that, he immediately went back to his room.

When he entered the room, he went to the control room. It had become a habit to him, ”Origin, report!”

Then, Origin's voice filled the room. The report was about foods, the number of survivors, GC Coins, and more.

Yes, aside from killing the zombies, Tang Shaoyang tasked his people to gather food as well. Food was essential for them to survive as they did not have a fixed source for food. The distribution was 30 for the empire and they kept the 70.

Of course, Tang Shaoyang also opened a trade that the empire would buy the food with GC Coin if they wanted to sell it. With Origin's help, the trade went smoothly so far. But the number they got each day was getting lower and lower.
