“It seems no one has chosen to leave! That’s good!” Shizuka Marikawa chimed in after hearing Meiko Shiraki’s reply.
As she spoke, a satisfied expression appeared on her face; clearly, this was the result she wanted.
"Bang bang bang~" Just then, there was a knocking sound at the gatehouse.
Upon hearing the knock, Saeko Busujima, who was nearby, immediately opened the door.
Several figures stood behind the door: Nakaoka Asami, Matsushima Raiko, Alice, and Tifa.
"Miss Busujima Saeko, have you explained the situation to them?!" Matsushima Raiko asked her first when she saw that it was Busujima Saeko who opened the door.
Because Saeko Busujima and Saya Takagi got up early, they knew about the helicopter on the roof of the shopping mall. Moreover, it was Raiko Matsushima who asked Saeko Busujima and the others to tell Shizuka Marikawa and the others about the helicopter.
"I did," Saeko Busujima nodded in response.
"Oh, that's good. You guys hurry up and pack your things and come with us to the rooftop, then we'll take the helicopter and leave," Matsushima Raiko said to Busujima Saeko, Marikawa Shizuka, and the others.
"Um, Ms. Matsushima Raiko, I'm sorry, but we don't plan to leave." At this moment, Takagi Saya also spoke to Matsushima Raiko.
"Huh?! What! You don't plan to leave?" Matsushima Raiko's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing Takagi Saya's words.
“Yes, we don’t plan to leave,” Shizuka Marikawa replied to Raiko Matsushima with a serious expression.
Their attitude was very firm, and it seemed there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
“Wouldn’t it be better to go to the shelter?! There are lots of people there! It’s quite safe. This supermarket has a lot of supplies, but there are safety risks! If zombies get into the mall, the consequences would be unimaginable!” Matsushima Raiko said to Marikawa Shizuka.
Yesterday, due to an electronic pulse, the mall experienced a power outage for a period of time. During that time, the mall's doors could not be closed. If it weren't for Tifa, Alice, Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and Meiko Shiraki desperately guarding the mall's doors, the mall would have been flooded with zombies.
You have to understand, there are many defenseless people in shopping malls! When they encounter zombies, the only thing they can do is accept that they are about to become zombies themselves.
In Matsushima Raiko's opinion, going to the shelter was the best choice! Because there were more people there, and it was safer than the shopping mall.
“Um, one of our team members had to go out yesterday, and we’ll have to wait for him to come back,” Shizuka Marikawa replied to Raiko Matsushima.
"Huh?!" Upon hearing Shizuka Marikawa's words, Raiko Matsushima also began to look around and discovered that the only male member of their team, whom Marikawa had asked to join, was not there.
"Huh?! The person you mentioned who went out on business, could it be Mr. Jingu Ichi?!" Matsushima Raiko asked Marikawa Shizuka.
"Yes, it really is him." Shizuka Marikawa nodded in response.
"No, what is he doing out at this time?!" Matsushima Raiko couldn't help but complain after hearing Shizuka Marikawa's reply.
"He has personal matters to attend to outside?! Is there a problem?!" After hearing Matsushima Raiko's complaint, Marikawa Shizuka questioned her.
Moreover, when questioning her, his eyes were fixed on Matsushima Raiko.
"No, it's nothing," Matsushima Reiko replied helplessly.
If I remember correctly, Jingu Ii is the leader of this group and has a very high status. Matsushima Raiko suspects that if she says anything bad about Jingu Ii, she will be beaten up by Marikawa Shizuka.
"Um, are you sure you don't want to leave by helicopter?! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Matsushima Raiko asked Marikawa Shizuka again for confirmation.
“Yes, I won’t leave. I’ll wait for Jingu Ichi here!” Shizuka Marikawa said to Raiko Matsushima.
"Ah, well... alright then, I won't insist." Seeing Shizuka Marikawa's firm attitude, Reiko Matsushima felt too embarrassed to say anything more.
Alice, Tifa, and Nakaoka Asami didn't say anything because they had only spent about two days with Shizuka and Marikawa, and they didn't have much interaction.

"Brother Shengu Yi, wake up!" A clear voice rang in Shengu Yi's ears.
"Hmm~" Upon hearing the sound, Jingu Yi slowly opened his eyes.
When Jingu Yi opened his eyes, he saw a cute face.
It is Ciridis.
"Ah?! It's Silithus!" When he saw Silithus calling him, Jingu Yi gave a perfunctory reply and then ignored her.
I went straight to bed and took a nap.
Jingu Yi went to bed quite late yesterday, so he wanted to catch up on his sleep.
"Big brother, why are you asleep again?!" Seeing Jingu Yi lie down again, Xilielis asked anxiously.
The reason for their anxiety is probably because they heard about the mall last night from Jingu Yi and wanted to get to the mall as soon as possible.
"Stop messing around, let me rest for a while!" Faced with the anxious Silieris, Jingu Yi said helplessly.
"Sirius, stop fooling around. Let Mr. Jingu Yi rest a bit more." At this moment, Joel said to Sirius.
"Oh." After hearing Joel's words, Cirilis reluctantly nodded in agreement.
“Ms. Joel, there’s plenty of food in the trunk. Go get it for Siliaris,” Jingu I said to Siliaris.
"Huh?! What? The trunk, food?!" Upon hearing Jingu Yi's words, Joel immediately pressed the button for the trunk and got out of the car to take a look.
She saw that there were indeed a lot of things in the trunk, mostly food, including potato chips, bread, candy, and fruit.
The potato chips and candy were from a convenience store, while the fruit was from a high-end hotel.
There were so many bags that the trunk was almost full.
These were all secretly placed by Jingu Yi last night after Yoel and the others fell asleep.
"Wow~ So much!" Joel's eyes widened as he looked at the supplies in the trunk.
This was the most supplies she had seen since the zombie crisis began.
Without giving it much thought, Joel simply picked up the two large bags and went back to his car.
"Wow?! Big Sister Joel, are you carrying some snacks?!" Siriaris noticed the snack wrappers in the bag Joel was carrying and asked.
“Yes, there’s delicious food in here,” Joel nodded in response.
In response, he also handed the bag in his hand to Cirilis.
"Wow~ bread, cookies, milk, potato chips, candy, can I eat all of these?!" Cirilis rummaged through the bag and then rattled off the contents like a menu.
“Sure, Mr. Jingu just said these are all for you to eat,” Joel said to Sirelis.
"Ah, I can't finish these two big bags! Why don't you eat with me, big sister Joel?" Sirius invited Joel.
"Huh?! This... isn't that a bit inappropriate? These are all food that Mr. Jingu Yi gave you. What if he gets angry if I eat them without permission?!" After hearing what Cirilis said, Joel also looked at Jingu Yi in the driver's seat.
At this moment, Shen Gongyi was still resting with his eyes closed.
“Of course you can eat with us too.” Jingu Yi had heard what Joel said, so he said this.
“That’s great! Mr. Jingu Yi has given you permission to eat too! Big Sister Joel.” After receiving Jingu Yi’s permission, Cirilis also spoke to Joel.
After saying that, he pulled Joel along and started tasting the snacks.
By the time Cirilis and Joel had finished their meal, Jingu Yi had also finished his nap.
Because Jingu had toiletries in his backpack, he brushed his teeth and washed his face after Joel and Cirilis finished eating.
After confirming that no one was outside the garage, Jingu Yi started the car.
"Let's head to the mall!" After leaving the garage, Cirilis was also very happy; she seemed eager to get to the supermarket immediately.
The SUV started up, and then, after checking the garage, headed straight towards the supermarket.
……
"Ms. Shizuka Marikawa, are you really not planning to leave?!" On the rooftop of the mall, Raiko Matsushima asked Shizuka Marikawa again for confirmation.
"No, no, Jingu Ichi hasn't come back yet." After hearing Matsushima Raiko's words, Marikawa Shizuka responded with an even more firm tone.
"Is that so? What a pity." Seeing Shizuka Marikawa's determination, Raiko Matsushima shook her head helplessly.
After saying that, Matsushima Raiko slung her backpack over her shoulder and boarded the helicopter. Even after boarding, she didn't forget to wave goodbye to Marikawa Shizuka.
Matsushima Raiko has a strong affinity for Shizuka Marikawa and the others, after all, they saved her life.
In her opinion, going with the helicopter was the right choice; the shelter they were going to already had many people and was much safer than the shopping mall.
Moreover, after experiencing the power outage last night, Matsushima Raiko and her group were even more convinced of their idea of going to the shelter.
As for Shizuka Marikawa and her group, there's nothing that can be done if they can't be persuaded.
There are some people with high fighting skills in their group. If we forcibly take them away, there will inevitably be conflicts!
"Are you sure you don't want to leave with us?!" After everyone in the mall boarded the helicopter, the pilot asked Shizuka Marikawa and the others with a serious expression.
"No, we're staying here," Shizuka Marikawa said to the helicopter pilot.
"Is that so?" The helicopter pilot sighed and then closed the helicopter door.
Then, the helicopter slowly ascended, stirring up a gust of wind on the supermarket rooftop before disappearing from sight.
Because the helicopter was flying very fast, it quickly disappeared from the sight of Shizuka Marikawa and the others.
"Alright, let's go back," Shizuka Marikawa instructed the others.
"Yes!" Upon hearing Shizuka Marikawa's instructions, the others also left the mall rooftop.
"Ms. Shizuka Marikawa, now that we're the only ones left here, does that mean we have the right to use this shopping mall?" After leaving the rooftop, Rei Miyamoto suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Shizuka Marikawa.
"Huh?! This..." Shizuka Marikawa was also taken aback when she heard Rei Miyamoto's question.
“Logically speaking, now that they’ve left, the right to use this shopping mall does indeed belong to us.” After a moment of thought, Shizuka Marikawa replied to Rei Miyamoto.
"Does that mean we're now in charge of this supermarket?!" Miyamoto Rei asked after hearing Shizuka Marikawa's reply.
“Ah, yes.” Shizuka Marikawa nodded in response.
"Huh?! Does that mean we can eat whatever we want now? Without any worries?!" Miyamoto Rei then spoke to Marikawa Shizuka.
“Yes, logically speaking, that’s true.” Shizuka Marikawa nodded in agreement.
"Haha! That's great!" Miyamoto Rei exclaimed happily.
Although she stayed at the supermarket for two days, she still had to ask Nakaoka Ma or Matsushima Raiko if she wanted to get snacks or drinks from the shelves, since they were the officers in charge of maintaining order, and the mall staff didn't necessarily approve of this.
