"Let's go inside and talk," Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko, gesturing for her to come in.
"Um, Mr. Jingu, my people are still outside." At this moment, Yuriko Takashiro reminded Jingu.
"Let them stay around the supermarket, but not inside. I'm afraid your people will cause trouble," Jingu I said to Takashiro Yuriko.
"Huh?! This..." Upon hearing Jingu I's words, Takagi Yuriko's expression also became subtle.
“If you don’t want to come in, I won’t force you. But then you won’t be able to get the supplies,” Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
"Don't worry, your little brother Momo will be fine. Trust them. Besides, I have people to help you too," Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
"Mm." Yuriko Takashiro nodded in response.
"You guys wait here for a bit, I'll be right back," Yuriko Takagi said to the group of underlings behind her.
After saying that, Yuriko Takashiro followed Ichi Jingu into the mall.
Watching Saya Takagi's departing figure, her group of followers were filled with mixed feelings. Some were worried, some were jealous, and some hoped that she would bring out more things.
……
"Huh?! This is all the supplies your mall has!?" As soon as she entered the mall, Yuriko Takashiro saw the dazzling array of supplies on the shelves.
She was shocked.
With these supplies, it would be enough to bribe many people in the apocalypse.
"Mr. Jingu, are all these supplies yours?!" Looking at the supplies on the shelves, Takagi Saya asked Jingu.
“Yes, these are all our supplies,” Shen Gongyi nodded in response.
When responding, his tone was nonchalant, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
"Mr. Jingu, I have a favor to ask. Could you share some of your supplies with me?!" Yuriko Takagi immediately expressed her desire.
"I'm sorry, no." Jingu I also directly refused Takashiro Yuriko's request.
"Huh?! Why?!" Takagi Yuriko was quite surprised to hear Jingu Ichi refuse her.
Yuriko Takagi initially thought that Jingu had so many supplies, and considering that she was Saya Takagi's mother, she would at least give her some.
Unexpectedly, Jingu Yi directly rejected her request for supplies.
"Huh?! Why aren't we getting any supplies?!" Yuriko Takagi looked at Ichi Jingu in confusion.
“If it’s supplies for you alone, I can give them to you, after all, you are Takagi Saya’s mother. But if it’s supplies for your younger brothers, I’m sorry, I can’t do that. I have no obligation to support them,” Jingu I said to Takagi Saya.
“Ah, that’s true.” Takagi Yuriko nodded in agreement after hearing Jingu Ichi’s words.
She strongly agreed with Shen Gongyi's point of view.
Ultimately, Jingu Yi and that group of people were strangers.
"Moreover, most of your underlings are adult men. I'm also worried that if I give them supplies, they'll eat their fill and then come and steal my supplies!" Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
“I can assure you that it won’t happen!” Yuriko Takagi said to Ichi Jingu.
Yuriko Takashiro spoke these words in a very serious tone.
"Huh?! No way? You underestimate human nature!" Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
"..." Seeing Jingu I's resolute attitude, Takagi Yuriko was also quite helpless!
She cast a pleading look at Saya Takagi.
However, upon noticing Yuriko Takagi's pleading gaze, Saya Takagi immediately looked away, pretending not to have seen her.
"Sigh~" Seeing Takagi Saya's attitude, Takagi Yuriko couldn't help but sigh. This matter was in jeopardy.

"Mr. Jingu, is there really no room for negotiation regarding the supplies?!" At the entrance of the shopping mall, looking at the dazzling array of supplies, Yuriko Takashiro showed a disappointed expression.
Just now, Shen Gongyi refused her request for supplies.
"I'm so sorry, Mrs. Takashiro Yuriko. As you know, we also have staff in our department store, and we need supplies too. Plus, supplies are hard to find right now, so we really don't dare to just give them away casually!" Jingu I replied to Takashiro Yuriko.
When responding, his tone was very calm, as if he were stating a fact.
Moreover, he said this in a very firm tone, as if there was no room for negotiation.
"Mr. Jingu Yi..." Seeing Jingu Yi's resolute attitude, Yuriko Takagi's disappointed expression was palpable!
But besides feeling disappointed, there was nothing she could do! They weren't willing to give it to her; she couldn't very well force them, could she?
Moreover, she had just witnessed Joel's skills, and she felt that Joel could easily deal with her group of henchmen all by himself.
"You can't blame me for this! The men you brought just now shot at my men. I'm already being very lenient by not choosing to retaliate!" Looking at the dejected Takashiro Yuriko, Jingu Yi spread his hands, his expression full of helplessness.
"Ah, this..." Upon hearing Jingu I's words, Takagi Yuriko's face showed an embarrassed expression.
Yuriko Takashiro and her men opened fire on Ichi Jingu's men! That's a fact.
This also puts Takagi Yuriko at a disadvantage when negotiating with Jingu Ichi.
“Mother, I also hope you can understand Jingu Ichi!” At this moment, Takagi Saya chimed in.
Clearly, she sided with Shen Gongyu on this matter.
"Mr. Jingu, something bad has happened! Some zombies are gathering in our mall, probably attracted by the gunshots." Just then, Saeko Busujima walked up to Jingu and warned him.
"Huh?! What?! Zombies are gathering at the mall?!" Upon hearing Saeko Busujima's words, Ichigo Jingu frowned slightly and then looked at Yuriko Takagi.
"..." Noticing Jingu's gaze, Takagi Yuriko's expression became even more awkward, because Busujima Saeko said that the group of zombies was likely attracted by the gunshots.
Unfortunately, the person who fired the shot was one of the people she brought with her.
"Mr. Jingu! I'm so sorry, all of this was caused by the people I brought!" Yuriko Takagi immediately apologized to Jingu.
Moreover, the tone of the apology was very sincere.
Moreover, when apologizing, Yuriko Takashiro bowed slightly to U Jingu.
Because of the angle, from Jingu Yi's perspective, one can see a snow-white scene.
Yes! This shows that Yuriko Takashiro's apology was quite sincere.
“Mr. Jingu, I will assist you in clearing out the zombies.” Then, Yuriko Takashiro quickly stated her position.
"Hmph! Of course you have to help! You're the one who caused this situation!" After seeing Yuriko Takagi's expression of sincerity, Ichigo Jingu snorted and then replied.
"By the way, go tell your group of underlings that I can provide supplies to anyone who participates in eliminating zombies!" Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
"Huh?! This... as long as we eliminate the zombies outside, we can get supplies?!" Takagi Yuriko also showed a surprised expression after hearing Jingu Ichi's words.
She, who had been dejected, straightened her back again, as if she had found hope again.
"Why would I lie to you? I'll deal with the matter of attracting zombies with my gun later. Right now, the important thing is to deal with the zombies that have been attracted!" Jingu Yi said to Takashiro Yuriko with a serious expression, not like he was joking.
Jingu Yi was certainly not short of supplies, but he was very unhappy that the people brought by Takagi Yuriko had fired shots at Miyamoto Rei.
Rei Miyamoto is still his woman, no matter what! What if the person who fired the shot hit her?! The consequences would be unimaginable!
The person who shot Rei Miyamoto must not be allowed to live!
Moreover, to be honest, the Jingu Ino shelter had no intention of accepting men.
He only wants to date women.
Then he'll transform the shelter into his own harem!
Now, a lot of zombies are coming towards the mall! He needs to find a way to prevent this problem from resolving.
He felt he could make use of the group of people that Yuriko Takashiro brought.
Those people are short of supplies, aren't they? Then let them be cannon fodder to deal with those zombies.
This also serves as a way to show them that supplies cannot be given away for free.
"Yes!" Takagi Yuriko nodded in agreement after hearing Jingu Ichi's words.
"Um, Mr. Jingu, we haven't eaten for a whole day. Could you please give me some supplies? That way we can better deal with the zombies outside!" Yuriko Takagi suggested to Jingu.
“Um, Mr. Jingu, I didn’t mean anything by it. We’ve been starving for a day and we’re exhausted. If you can give us some supplies now, I believe my men will work even harder to deal with the zombies around us.” Takashiro Yuriko then spoke to Jingu.
"Huh?! Sure!" After hearing Yuriko Takagi's words, Ichigo Jingu pondered for a moment, then nodded in response.
Jingu felt that providing supplies now would inspire the fighting spirit of Takashiro Yuriko and her group.
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Jingu Ichi!" Upon hearing that Jingu Ichi was willing to provide supplies, Takashiro Yuriko bowed slightly to him again.
Because of the will of the feet, when Yuriko Takashiro bowed, Ichiya Jingu saw a beautiful white scene again.
"Alright, the reason I'm willing to provide supplies is to deal with the zombies!" Jingu Yi responded to Takagi Yuriko's gratitude.
"Yes, I understand, I understand!" Yuriko Takagi nodded repeatedly, looking as if she was afraid that Isamu Jingu would change his mind.
"Saiko Busujima, take Rei Miyamoto and Yoel and go guard the entrance to the mall." Then, Isamu Jingu instructed Saiko Busujima, who was standing next to him.
“Okay!” Saeko Busujima nodded in agreement.
“Mm.” Saeko Busujima nodded in agreement, then left with Rei Miyamoto and Yoel.
"Huh?! Mr. Jingu, what about me?! Don't I need to go?!" At this moment, Shiraki Meiko thought that Jingu had forgotten about her, so Director Li reminded him.
"Well, you'll stay in the mall. I'm worried someone might sneak in during the chaos, so you'll stay here," Jingu I said to Shiraki Meiko.
"Huh?! I see! Okay then." After hearing Jingu Yi's instructions, Shiraki Meiko nodded helplessly in agreement.
She actually preferred to go outside and fight zombies, but Jingu Yi's analysis was correct; in such chaos, someone might actually take the opportunity to sneak in.
Most of the people in the mall are non-combatants with almost no fighting ability. If someone were to sneak in, they would be unable to resist.
