While discussing business at the mall, both the middle-aged man and woman, with their bandages wrapped around their necks, harbored their own ulterior motives.
The middle-aged man with bandages wanted to learn about the situation inside the mall.
The two chatted for a long time, and in the end, they left reluctantly.
After chatting with the middle-aged woman, the middle-aged man with bandages also prepared to go back to his tent to rest.
However, on his way back, he tripped over something and almost fell. He already had a broken leg.
"Hey?! What bad luck today!" the middle-aged man with bandages couldn't help but complain.
After complaining about the middle-aged man with bandages, he wanted to go back to the tent to rest, but unfortunately, he tripped over Shenzi again after only a few steps.
The middle-aged man hit his head on a rock and then passed out.
After the middle-aged man with bandages fainted, a handsome voice appeared; it was Shen Gongyi.
"Hmph! If killing you hadn't caused panic, you would be dead by now!" Looking at the middle-aged man wrapped in bandages who had fainted in front of the tent, Jingu Yi couldn't help but complain.
Just then, several hurried footsteps approached.
The people who arrived were Yuriko Takagi and others.
They were probably attracted by the sounds coming from the middle-aged man with bandages wrapped around his neck.
"Huh?! Mr. Jingu, what brings you here?!" Yuriko Takagi was also a little surprised to see Jingu.
“Yes, I came to see you,” Jingu I replied to Takagi Yuriko.
"Oh, you're looking for me!" Takagi Yuriko nodded in agreement after hearing Jingu Ichi's words.
“By the way, what happened to this man?!” At this moment, Yuriko Takagi pointed to the middle-aged man lying on the ground with bandages wrapped around his neck.
Although the middle-aged man with bandages was lying on the ground, it was clear that he was still breathing.
He just fainted.
“When I arrived, I saw that he hadn’t tripped over anything, and then he was like this,” Jingu I replied to Takashiro Yuriko.
"Oh, I see!" Takashiro Yuriko nodded in response after hearing Jingu Ichi's words.
Of course, Yuriko Takagi wasn't stupid. She knew that the reason the middle-aged man with bandages fainted was most likely related to Ichiro Jingu. However, as long as Ichiro Jingu didn't kill him, Yuriko Takagi wouldn't say anything.
Moreover, that guy brought it on himself!
When others saw that it was a middle-aged man with bandages lying unconscious on the ground, with little facial expression, some even gloated.
Yuriko Takagi's underlings all had a lot of complaints about him.
After all, if it weren't for him, they might be living in the shopping mall!
"By the way, Mr. Jingu, is there something you need to tell me so late at night?!" Yuriko Takagi ignored the middle-aged man lying on the ground with bandages wrapped around his neck and asked Jingu.
"Hehe, I came here to invite you," Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
"Huh?! You're inviting me?! Why are you inviting me?!" Takagi Yuriko looked puzzled when she heard that Jingu Ichi had come to "invite" her.
"Hehe, it's like this, I'd like to invite you and Sakurajima Yanagi to stay at our shopping mall!" Jingu I said to Takashiro Yuriko.
This is the purpose of Shenggong Yi's visit.
There are still many empty rooms in the mall, so it wouldn't be a problem for Yuriko Takashiro and Yanagi Sakurajima to stay there.
"Huh!? What!! Staying at the mall?!" Upon hearing Jingu Ichi's words, Takashiro Yuriko's eyes widened.
She was a little bit unbelievable.
She never expected that Jingu Yi would actually invite her to stay inside the mall.
At the same time, Yuriko Takashiro also noticed the envious looks from those around her.
At this moment, Sakurajima Yanagi was also very serious. She never expected that she would inexplicably gain the qualification to live in the mall.
She looked at Yuriko Takashiro with anticipation, hoping she would accept Jingu Ichi's invitation, because that way, she would also have the opportunity to live in the shopping mall.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jingu, please allow me to decline!" Yuriko Takagi thought for a moment and then declined Jingu's invitation.
"Huh?! Rejected?! Why?" Upon hearing Yuriko Takagi's words, Ichigo Jingu was first shocked, then asked curiously.
“Mr. Jingu, I’m the leader here. If I’m not here, what if the people here need me and I’m not there?!” Takashiro Yuriko replied to Jingu.
Yuriko Takagi knew that once she chose to live inside the shopping mall, she would become estranged from the people there, and that estrangement would deepen over time.
"..." At this moment, Sakurajima Yanagi noticed that Takagi Yuriko's expression had become subtle.
"No, I want to stay in the mall if you don't want to! Why are you refusing?!" Sakurajima Yanagi couldn't help but think to herself.
"..."
When the others heard that Yuriko Takagi had rejected Isamu Jingu's invitation, a variety of expressions appeared on their faces: some were shocked, some were surprised, some were puzzled, and some were jealous.

180 Yuriko Takashiro: My feelings are complicated.

"Huh?! Mrs. Takashiro, are you sure you don't want to move into the shopping mall?!" Jingu I asked Takashiro Yuriko in front of him.
"Well, I don't want to live in the mall right now!" Takashiro Yuriko replied to Jingu Yi with a serious expression in response to his question.
This was the result of Yuriko Takagi's careful consideration.
This wasn't her being dramatic; rather, Yuriko Takagi felt that she couldn't live in the shopping mall yet.
According to Jingu Ii, she and Sakurajima Yanagi could find an empty room to stay in at the mall.
However, Yuriko Takagi's underlings all live here, so it would be awkward if something important suddenly happened and she happened to be away.
Moving to the mall is fine, she just needs to find someone who can manage her twenty-odd underlings!
She would definitely move into the mall herself if she didn't make sure her underlings were settled; that would be too selfish!
"Huh?! Why don't you stay at the mall? Can you tell me why?!" Jingu I asked Takashiro Yuriko.
"Hehe, I'm worried about these people! If I move into the mall, who will manage them is a problem. What if something important happens?! Her underlings will have to come to the mall to find me!" Takagi Yuriko replied to Jingu Ichi.
Actually, Yuriko Takashiro, the sea knight, really hoped that the driver could live in the shopping mall.
However, she had to consider others more than herself.
This is also why everyone approves of her! She is responsible! She wouldn't abandon her younger brother for her own selfish reasons.
"Um, boss! I don't need to manage this place. I'll just move into the mall first. Is that alright?!" At this moment, Sakurajima Yanagi approached Takashiro Yuriko and asked her with a solicitous expression.
"Hehe, no problem, no problem!" Yuriko Takashiro was also taken aback when she heard Sakurajima Yanagi's words, and then nodded in response.
Yuriko Takashiro was also surprised that Sakurajima Yanagi would suggest that she move into the shopping mall first.
As the eldest sister, Yuriko Takashiro didn't move in, but Yanagi Sakurajima moved in first.
Yuriko Takagi also felt a mix of emotions.
Moreover, when Sakurajima Yanagi made this decision, it was clear that in her heart, Jingu Ichi was more important than herself.
If Sakurajima Yanagi had to choose between Takashiro Yuriko and Jingu Ichi right now, she would most likely choose Jingu Ichi.
Because Jingu Ichi was able to provide Sakurajima Ryu with supplies and good living conditions. Putting aside the supplies, Takashiro Yuriko couldn't even provide Sakurajima Ryu with decent living conditions.
Therefore, Yuriko Takashiro also understands Yanagi Sakurajima's choice.
While I may not fully understand, seeing Sakurajima Yanagi choose Jingu for the sake of resources and living conditions, Kamitaka Shiro Saya felt a mix of emotions.
There was resentment, confusion, regret, and a little bit of depression.
Sakurajima Yanagi was her subordinate! But now she's actually "betrayed" her!
"Um, Mrs. Takashiro, don't worry! I will take good care of Sakurajima Yanagi!" Just then, Jingu Yoshiyu spoke to Takashiro Saya with a serious expression.
As he spoke, Jingu I put his arm around Sakurajima Yanagi's shoulder.
As Jingu Yi put his arm around them, their shoulders touched, a gesture that was somewhat ambiguous.
"Hmm." Yuriko Takagi nodded blankly. Seeing the actions of Ichiro Jingu and Saya Takagi, her already mixed feelings became even more complicated.
"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Takashiro, have the slots for tomorrow's supply search been finalized?!" Just then, Jingu I asked Takashiro Yuriko.
"Oh, you mean that! The spots have already been decided!" Yuriko Takagi replied to Ichi Jingu.
"Yes! Tell those people to be prepared! Because going out to search for supplies is still a bit dangerous, and they might even lose their lives!" Jingu I said to Takagi Yuriko.
"Yes, I understand!" Takagi Yuriko nodded in agreement after hearing Jingu Ichi's words.
"Well, it's getting late, I should go back and rest. See you tomorrow, Mrs. Takashiro!" Jingu I said to Takashiro Yuriko.
After saying that, he waved to Yuriko Takashiro, put his arm around Yanagi Sakurajima, and left gracefully, leaving behind only a handsome silhouette.
Watching Sakurajima Yanagi and Jingu Iri leave, Takagi Yuriko frowned slightly, a complex expression appearing on her face.
"Hey, boss! What should we do with that middle-aged man with bandages?! He's passed out in front of the tent!" Just then, one of the underlings came up to Yuriko Takagi and asked her.
"Heh, it's so hot at night now, won't he catch a cold sleeping outside the tent?!" Yuriko Takagi replied irritably after hearing her younger brother's words.
Moreover, Jingu Ichi is usually very impatient with middle-aged men wrapped in bandages.
Yuriko Takagi had only three words to describe the middle-aged man with bandages on his body: "A terrible teammate!"
Originally, given the relationship between Yuriko Takagi and Saya Takagi, the people Yuriko brought could have easily moved into the shopping mall.
However, it was precisely because of the middle-aged man with bandages that Jingu Ichi and his group were now extremely wary of Takashiro Yuriko and her group, especially the men.
Moreover, Yuriko Takashiro also speculated that the middle-aged man who had just been bandaged slipped and fell unconscious was most likely the work of Ichiro Jingu.
But Yuriko Takashiro didn't expose him!
As long as Jingu Ichi didn't kill the middle-aged man with bandages, Takagi Yuriko wouldn't hold it against him.
Who told the middle-aged man with bandages to bring this upon himself!
When I first arrived at the mall, I fired shots at the people inside, which attracted the zombies.
