Anime Crossover: Many Children, Many Blessings; Yukino, the Wife from the Apocalypse

Messenger Satomi Ishihara from episode 431, here to discuss cooperation?

"This chamber of commerce is not only a business organization, but also a big family that unites and helps each other and develops together."

Chang Wei continued, "I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will definitely be able to create our own brilliance."

As Chang Wei finished speaking, the entire room was filled with an atmosphere of hope and anticipation.

They knew that this chamber of commerce would become a new starting point for their joint efforts and a powerful weapon for them to meet future challenges.

Chamber of Commerce?

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed surprise, and their eyes all turned to Chang Wei, secretly wondering what kind of unexpected and winning strategy he would come up with this time.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also frowned, looking at Chang Wei with a puzzled expression, hoping he could give a reasonable explanation.

Chang Wei smiled slightly and began to explain in detail: "This Chamber of Commerce is actually a bridge, connecting the supplies of our base with those people in urgent need. We deliver necessities such as food and daily necessities to them through the Chamber of Commerce. And the source of the supplies is naturally our base's reserve warehouse."

"Selling things?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was the first to react, her brows furrowed. "But now that currency is worthless, how can we ensure fair and smooth transactions?"

She truly lived up to her reputation as a campus elite, pinpointing the crux of the problem in a single sentence.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although the chamber of commerce seems like a good idea, the reality is harsh.

Their power is still small, and they are usually self-sufficient. They have no experience in buying and selling.

However, Chang Wei was not swayed by the doubts of the crowd. He continued, "Trade is not limited to currency. What we need are scarce resources, such as steel, weapons, supplies, and even rare items obtained from zombies and mutated beasts. These can all be used as bargaining chips."

Upon hearing this, the others seemed to understand, but Shadow raised a more practical question: "Leader, these resources you mentioned are simply unattainable for ordinary people. How could they possibly possess them?"

Chang Wei took a deep breath, a determined glint in his eyes: "This is where our Mercenary Guild comes in. We can call for the formation of such an organization, issue various missions, and involve the public. Whether it's hunting zombies or mutated beasts, or going out to search for supplies, as long as they complete the mission, they can trade the obtained supplies with us."

"Wouldn't that mean the whole nation would be a soldier?" someone worried.

Chang Wei nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, everyone is a soldier. But this is also for our survival and prosperity. Only by working together can we stand firm in this apocalyptic world. Of course, we will ensure the rationality and safety of the mission and try to minimize unnecessary casualties."

Although everyone still had doubts upon hearing this, they were also moved by Chang Wei's firmness and determination.

They knew that the plans of this chamber of commerce and mercenary guild might actually offer them a glimmer of hope.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Yoko Okino sighed softly. Her voice, as clear as a spring, instantly drew everyone's attention.

She spoke slowly, her voice revealing a thoughtful and composed quality:

“Chang Wei, I have already considered your idea. However, reality is cruel. Our current numbers are less than a thousand. If we were to implement your plan, it would likely be a disaster. Our foundation is still shallow and we cannot withstand such a heavy blow.”

Chang Wei remained silent, a hint of frustration flashing in his eyes, but more so, determination. He understood that every failure was a stepping stone to growth.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted Yoko Okino's correction, and at the same time silently vowed to study and improve even harder.

Yoko Okino looked at Chang Wei, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. She spoke again, her voice full of encouragement:

"However, Chang Wei, your idea is not entirely without merit. It is forward-thinking and visionary, but the time is not yet right. Once our power grows, your plan will surely shine."

Upon hearing this, Chang Wei finally smiled, looking at Yoko Okino with gratitude and deep respect.

The people around them were also touched by Yoko Okino's understanding and Chang Wei's perseverance, and they all smiled.

"Chang Wei, since Eriri and the other girls are willing to contribute to the team, I think it would be better to let her manage logistics with Hoshino Ai as well," Yoko Okino said again, her voice full of concern for the team and care for Chang Wei.

Hoshino Ai paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled.

She nodded, welcoming Eriri's arrival: "I do need more people here, and Eriri's arrival will undoubtedly relieve a lot of my pressure."

Chang Wei looked at Eriri in the lounge, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Eriri nodded, indicating that she was willing to accept the proposal.

She stood up, expressed her gratitude to everyone, and her face beamed with a happy smile.

After arranging these matters, Chang Wei's gaze finally fell on Kawahara Ichi.

He sat quietly in the corner, as if isolated from the world.

Chang Wei's heart stirred. He knew that this Kawahara Ichi was no ordinary person; he just hadn't found a suitable position for himself yet.

He secretly resolved to find a place where Kawahara Ii could fully utilize his talents.

Ada Wong stared at Kawahara Ie, a strange smile welling up inside her. Her face looked particularly resolute in the afterglow of the setting sun.

However, when Ada Wong's gaze turned to Chang Wei, a chill pierced her heart like an ice pick, as if foreshadowing some ominous premonition.

"Ada Wong, how about you take on an apprentice?"

Chang Wei's lips curled into a sly smile as he turned to Kawahara Ichi, who was standing silently to the side. "Kawahara, look, Ada Wong is not only my captain, but also an exceptionally powerful evolved being. If you can follow her, your path to growth will definitely be smoother."

Kawahara I's face instantly lit up with surprise. He bowed deeply to Chang Wei and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Chief. I will do my best to live up to your expectations!"

Ada Wong stared wide-eyed as Chang Wei casually settled this important matter, without even giving her a chance to explain, and stood there dumbfounded.

Just as everyone in the hall was discussing the next steps, a message came like a thunderclap—the envoy from the Shinjuku City base had arrived.

"They really came!" Everyone looked at each other, having already anticipated this outcome, but they hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly.

"How many of them are there?" Chang Wei asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the soldier who came to report.

"There are only a dozen or so people. They came for a woman named Satomi Ishihara," the soldier replied truthfully.

"Satomi Ishihara?"

Everyone was startled upon hearing this, and their eyes all turned to Chang Wei.

They had just sent Satomi Ishihara and the others back to Shinjuku City, and they never expected her to reappear here.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chang Wei like searchlights, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others chuckled to themselves, knowing that there must be a hidden story between Ishihara Satomi and Chang Wei.

"Let's go take a look," Chang Wei finally said, walking out of the hall somewhat awkwardly, unable to bear the gossipy gazes of everyone.

The others followed closely behind, all wearing amused smiles.

They arrived at the city wall in front of the town. After previous reinforcements and expansions, the wall is now five meters high and extremely sturdy.

Outside the city wall, a dozen people stood on a vehicle, their eyes fixed on Chang Wei on the wall. A complex emotion flashed in Satomi Ishihara's eyes as she looked at Chang Wei, as if she had a thousand words to say.

"Ishihara Satomi, why did you come back here?" Chang Wei looked at her coldly. "Is Shinjuku City no longer able to accommodate you?" Under the cover of night, they chose to betray each other, like kites with broken strings, drifting away with the wind, never to intersect with my world again. That past friendship also vanished with the wind, leaving no trace.

"Chang Wei, do you know that your actions in Shinjuku have enraged Lei Mingcheng? You've killed so many of his people, how can he possibly let this go?"

Satomi Ishihara stood before me, her voice echoing in the night sky, carrying a hint of sharpness and seriousness.

“Right now, the only person in Shinjuku who can rival him is my father. If you are willing to join forces with my father, he will definitely help you eliminate Lei Mingcheng. At that time, you will become the second most powerful person in Shinjuku, holding great power. Wouldn’t that be much better than being stuck in this small place now?” Satomi Ishihara’s words were full of temptation.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a burst of mocking laughter rang out from around her.

Chang Wei's forces now number nearly a thousand, with over five hundred combat personnel and more than a dozen evolved individuals in command. How could they be easily swayed by her words?

Chang Wei shook his head, looked at Satomi Ishihara, and said calmly, "Satomi Ishihara, go back. Tell your father that if he wants me to pledge allegiance, he is far from capable. If fate allows, we may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, but let's leave what you said today at that point."

"Lei Mingcheng? Hmph, so what if I offended him? I'm just waiting for him to come looking for me. I'll take his head sooner or later and let him know that my family, Chang Wei's family, is not something he can bully at will!" Chang Wei's words were full of determination and resolve.

Satomi Ishihara's face stiffened, appearing somewhat pale. She urged again, "Chang Wei, I'm truly thinking of you. Lei Mingcheng has countless experts under his command, including an eighth-level evolved being. How can you possibly contend with them alone?"

"A level eight evolved being?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd was somewhat surprised, but there was no fear in their eyes.

Even level eight mutated beasts were defeated by Chang Wei, let alone a mere level eight evolved human.

Chang Wei looked coldly at Satomi Ishihara, his tone devoid of any politeness: "Satomi Ishihara, for the sake of what you did for me in the past, you should go back. I don't want to say anything more."

Satomi Ishihara bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with resentment.

She wanted to say something more, but in the end she just silently turned and left, disappearing into the night.

"boom!"

A deafening roar, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open, instantly shattered the surrounding silence.

A blazing fireball streaked across the sky like a meteor, slamming into Ishihara Satomi's face and instantly creating a huge crater, sending up clouds of smoke and dust that sent chills down everyone's spine.

Chang Wei gently withdrew his finger, his gaze sharp as a knife, coldly shooting at Ishihara Satomi, his voice low and icy: "Leave here, or you will be stuck here forever."

Satomi Ishihara's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in them, as if they were about to fall at any moment.

At that moment, Sanjay and Qiao Nian quickly stepped forward and tightly protected Ishihara Satomi, their eyes filled with fear and wariness towards Chang Wei.

“Miss, let’s go,” Sanjay advised softly. “Since Chang Wei doesn’t welcome us, we don’t need to stay here any longer.”

Qiao Nian echoed this sentiment, both hoping that Satomi Ishihara could leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Satomi Ishihara took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Looking into Chang Wei's cold gaze, she knew in her heart that she could not change his decision.

So she sighed softly, turned and left without looking back.

On the city wall, the crowd watched this scene indifferently.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha only glanced at it indifferently, as if she had long been accustomed to all of this.
