"It’s not those people you mentioned coming to harass us again, is it?" Vikram asked helplessly.

Ever since the land area shrank, the Survivors nearby had indeed become much more numerous.

And unlike the early days when they were scattered, now they were all in groups.

Vikram didn’t have time to go door-to-door, one by one, to warn them not to cause trouble.

"These bastards are truly endless. It seems this time I really need to make an example of someone."

"Lest they truly believe our territory is easy to bully just because there are only four of us."

Thinking of this, Vikram casually pulled out his desert eagle, which he hadn’t used in a long time.

The alarm continued to blare, and the three people inside exchanged glances before heading outside.

He didn’t rush out directly to check the situation but walked inside the observation room, allowing them to check the outside situation from within the territory.

When he reached the observation room, till then the alarm had stopped ringing, and Archy was in an attack position, like he suddenly shot an arrow.

When Vikram looked at the screen, he found out that the figure had fallen, who entered their territory.

It was done by the Archy, he has killed that figure with his arrow. And the figure was also not human at all.

It was a zombie.

"What the hell? How did this zombie reach near?" Sophia wondered, looking at the figure.

"Could it be that this zombie jumped high and just flipped over?" Anjali whispered, leaning closer to Vikram.

"Don’t worry about that, no matter how he arrived near our territory, he was just dead, let’s go back," Vikram said to them.

He then looked towards Archy and Ranzy, "Good work," And patted their heads, they both became happy.

While Vikram, with his girls went inside thinking of these minor issues, at this moment, six figures were crouching outside the territory’s wall, far from 200 metres.

If Sophia, Divya and Anjali were here, they would definitely recognize these six figures as the survivors who had been lingering outside the territory recently.

At this time, they, of course, didn’t know that their whereabouts had already been exposed and were still hiding, holding their breath.

"What’s going on? The alarm clearly went off just now, so why hasn’t anyone come out to check the situation?"

One of the survivors held a homemade periscope, extending the lens over the wall to observe the situation inside.

"Do you think they might be sleeping too soundly and didn’t hear the alarm?"

Another slightly thinner survivor spoke in a low voice, "That’s possible, but we only caught one zombie this time, and there’s nothing else that could trigger that kid’s territory alarm."

"If they really haven’t noticed, we can only go back first."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a refutation immediately came from behind him, "You still want to go back? The boss has given us enough time. If we go back this time without any news, I think you’ll be flayed alive by the boss."

"Then what should we do? We can’t just go in ourselves to trigger the alarm, can we? You know their strength; wouldn’t that be suicide?"

Hearing this, the Survivor immediately recalled the scene of himself being hit by Vikram’s car and was speechless for a moment.

"Just keep crouching for now. As long as we don’t see any other members in their territory today, just tell the boss that there are only four of them."

Seeing this, although the others were reluctant, they ultimately decided to wait outside first.

"If they had known what happened to the zombie they sent, they would have run away as fast as they could."

—

Inside the territory, several people had just returned from the observation room.

Although Vikram didn’t say anything, he already got the idea of how the zombies had arrived near his territory.

He already had an idea of how to deal with the scoundrels outside.

That was to wait until dark, then secretly climb over the wall with the Moonshadow Cloak, catching them off guard.

As for now, it was still early before dark, since that was the case, Vikram immediately made himself comfortable on the sofa, checking the latest updates in the group chat.

Not looking was fine, but looking truly gave him a fright.

At some unknown point, dozens of new, unfamiliar members had suddenly appeared in the group chat.

It was important to know that this small group could only be entered through internal recommendations, and even now, the actual members were only about twenty.

This also excluded many members who rarely spoke and had always been lurking.

The truly active ones were probably around ten or so.

Now, with so many people appearing out of nowhere, Vikram was caught a bit off guard.

Vikram, who usually only occasionally paid attention to the group chat, raised an eyebrow and looked at Anjali.

Among those in his territory, Anjali was the most fond of chatting in the group, so asking her would surely be right.

"What’s going on? Who invited all these people into the group? I remember they weren’t here two days ago."

But her response was destined to disappoint Vikram.

Anjali, who was stretching on the sofa, was a little bewildered by the sudden question.

"In the group? Isn’t it just us few? Where would other people come from?"

"Why don’t you take another look? There are about fifty more people, and they’re all introducing themselves in the group right now."

Saying that, he extended his wrist in front of her, and the messages were clear at a glance.

[Quinn: Hello everyone in the group, I am Quinn, the Shelter Leader of Red Fox Shelter. Currently, my shelter has 41 people. I am very happy to join this group chat.]

[Levi: Hello everyone, I am Levi, the Shelter Leader of Oasis Shelter. My shelter has 30 people. I am very happy to join this group chat.]

[Connor: I am Connor, the Shelter Leader of Iron Wall Shelter. I am very happy to meet everyone. My shelter has 37 people and generous benefits. If anyone needs it, you can join my shelter.]

Apart from these Survivors who seemed to have a significant background, many other members gradually started to introduce themselves.

Among them, there were also quite a few survivors who were Shelter Leaders or Vice Shelter Leaders.

"This... this clearly just got added today, how would I know?" Anjali also said, utterly confused, as she looked at these newly joined Survivors.

The commotion between the two naturally attracted Divya, who, after understanding what had happened in the group, also furrowed her brows.

"This group chat can only be entered through friend recommendations; others can’t get in even if they want to. How could so many new members suddenly appear?"

It wasn’t just the three of them; everyone in the group, including the group owner Lakshya Verma himself, was constantly typing question marks.

[Lakshya Verma: What’s going on exactly? Who invited you all in? If you don’t make it clear, I’ll kick you out, okay?]

And the new members, upon seeing this question, gave surprisingly consistent answers.

[Quinn: I was invited by Kashif Ali. He said he invited me to share information.]

[Levi: Yes, me too.]

With two people taking the lead to explain how they joined the group, a bunch of new members followed by silently adding a +1.

Hearing this, Lakshya Verma in the group immediately retracted his previous statement and then said.

[Lakshya Verma: Then it’s fine. As long as you don’t cause trouble, just treat the group like your own home.]

Knowing that these members were invited by Kashif Ali, Lakshya Verma’s change of attitude was quicker than flipping a book.

He had already felt that they seemed very familiar, and seeing this, Vikram was even more certain that Lakshya Verma and Kashif Ali had an unusual relationship.

However, even though the old members in the group had now gotten the answer they wanted, they were still puzzled.

What they were all thinking was Kashif Ali’s intention in doing this.

For such a small resource group, the fewer members, the better, to avoid the inclusion of unreliable people.

Shalini’s incident was still fresh in their minds, and now, with forty to fifty unknown individuals suddenly joining, no one could accept it. Although it was a different matter, now Shalini is under Vikram, but except for his members, no one knew about that.

But soon, as if realizing the group members’ thoughts, Kashif Ali had already stepped forward to explain.

[Kashif Ali: First, I apologize to everyone. This time, I took the liberty of adding so many new members to the group, which may indeed cause inconvenience to some members.]

[Kashif Ali: But I believe everyone has noticed that most of the Survivors I invited into the group chat are people with their own forces.]

[Kashif Ali: I cannot guarantee that the backgrounds of these people are completely problem-free, but they have a huge role in the development of our group chat.]

[Kashif Ali: I hope everyone can try to get along. If it really doesn’t work out, I will directly kick them out.]

Kashif Ali’s words made most people breathe a slight sigh of relief.

After all, his status in the group was still very high; at the very least, most members were willing to believe his words.

For a time, most of the previous old members expressed their agreement.

Seeing that there weren’t too many questions, Kashif Ali continued.

[Kashif Ali: Next, let me talk about the purpose of my actions. Before that, I want to give you all a heads-up.]

As soon as his words fell, the large group chat instantly fell silent.

Because when such words came from Kashif Ali’s mouth, it most likely meant that a new prediction was coming.

It was important to know that Kashif Ali’s previous predictions had almost all come true.

Now, regarding his predictions, even Vikram, who possessed a system, had to take them seriously.

The old members didn’t speak, and the newly joined ones naturally didn’t intend to break the atmosphere.

[Kashif Ali: Brothers and sisters in the group, I believe most of you are already aware of the previous incident where the Survival Platform’s crafting function was affected, right?]

[Kashif Ali: What I want to say this time is that the next natural disaster change is very likely to cause this situation to happen again.]

[Kashif Ali: No, perhaps it will be even more severe than that situation.]

[Kashif Ali: If the Wasteland World can affect the Survival Platform, according to analysis, in the future, things like reduced backpack slots, invalid transaction markets, and even blocked chat channels are all possible.]
