General Shop Level 1, it was what he looked for. Even though the shop was practically useless to him, it was extremely useful for his people.
The shop was selling weapons and armor, the basic quality one, sold at a cheap price. Arming his people so they could hunt the zombie efficiently. But of course, he was not going to fund them to buy the gear.
They had to earn the GC Coin by themselves to buy the gear. Most of the zombies were still in Stage 1, it was not that hard to kill Stage 1 Zombie.
Tang Shaoyang nodded his head with satisfaction with the progress he made. He rubbed his chin, thinking of something.
"Do you have something in mind, Master? You can talk it out to me~" Origin's concerned voice filled the control room.
"Hmm, it's not a problem, but I am thinking where to put the general shop..." After some thought, he placed the general shop in the lobby. The second floor was supposed to be a canteen while the third floor was a dorm for the survivors.
"Ah, talking about the weapon, I forgot to give Lu An the sword..." Yes, from opening the treasure chest, he got a sword from Level 8 Treasure Chest. The sword was a higher class than his Destroyer, but he did not like the sword. He preferred his battle-ax more.
He glanced at the corner of the control room where he put the sword. The silver sword glistening there under the bright light. Tang Shaoyang picked the sword and swung it a few times.
"Hmm, indeed, this sword is not suitable for me..." Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. Then, he took the sword with him out.

It was a week since Tang Shaoyang began gathering the survivors. Currently, there were 217 survivors in total. The dormitory on the second floor was filled with survivors and Tang Shaoyang had to open the third floor as a dormitory as well.
So far, all these people joined the Tang Empire and willingly hunted the zombies. He also let these people get their talent to help them in hunting. However, only a handful of guys with good talents, less than ten people to be more exact.
But thanks to General Shop Level 1 which sold basic weapons such as sword, shield, bow, spear, and more. The General Shop helped them a lot and he only lost six people so far.
It was a good process, but he realized he lacked the manpower to manage the administration. From 217 survivors, none of them had experience in management. It was unfortunate, but he managed to organize.
There would be always troublemakers, but he kicked them out already.
A week after the establishment of the Tang Empire. Tang Shaoyang scanned the canteen on the second floor. The canteen was bustling with noise as the survivors chatted at each other, talking about their level and how many zombies they killed today.
Tang Shaoyang was satisfied with the progress so far, but he needed someone to establish the military system. However, once again, none of the survivors were police, let alone soldiers.
He sighed as he walked toward the kitchen to get his dinner. When he arrived at the kitchen, Li Yue greeted him, "Welcome, Big Brother Tang! Your dinner has been prepared, a steak! My mom made you steak! Let me get it for you~"
With a big smile on his face, Tang Shaoyang rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Then, please get it for me!"
"Hmm... Good idea!" Tang Shaoyang nodded as he walked out of the control room.
When he opened the door, sure enough, Li Na was standing with a glass of coffee in her hand.
"I heard from Origin that you here to deliver the coffee!" Tang Shaoyang took the glass from Li Na's hand, "Thank you."
Just as he was about to close the door, Li Na called as she pulled the door, "Wait!"
He opened the door again and looked at the delicate girl, "What's wrong?"
"There's something I want to talk about, can we speak inside?" With a little hesitation, Li Na voiced her thoughts.
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows at first, he scanned Li Na's white face that dyed with tinge red, then his eyes gleamed as his lips formed a slight grin.
"Good, come in! Let's talk inside~" His tone softened as he let the girl enter his room. After a little hesitation, Li Na entered the room.
From behind, Tang Shaoyang scanned the girl. She was wearing a white one-piece dress, the skirt was short, showing half of her thigh. With this, he was sure why the girl was coming to his room. However, he wondered where the girl got the dress, 'Does General Shop sell clothes as well?'
Tang Shaoyang put the glass of coffee and picked his pace. With a girl in his room, coffee was not enough to relieve his stress. He hugged the girl from behind and whispered, "So you come here to offer your body to me?"
Li Na was startled just like a little rabbit. However, she did not try to break free and hummed, "Mnn!"
"So, what do you want in exchange? I am telling you! If you want to be my woman, with just your body is not enough! I don't need a woman that is useless to me!" Tang Shaoyang bluntly spoke what was on his mind.
Li Na's body quivered at his words, he even heard the sound of teeth clashing. The girl must not have expected to hear these words and she was not prepared for the exchange.
"How about this, I will take care of your mother and sister and I will assign a work for you. So you, your mother, and your sister don't need to risk your lives to hunt the zombies in the future! If you agree, nod your head!"
Li Na fell silent, but he could hear the breathing. Surprisingly, the girl's breathing was steady. After a moment of silence, the girl nodded.
"Hahaha... Good choice!" Tang Shaoyang immediately carried the girl to his emperor-size bed as he laughed hard.

Three days later
Tang Shaoyang went out to the area that reported to him where the Stage 2 Zombie often appeared.
Standing on one of the buildings' rooftop, Tang Shaoyang encountered something interesting. Right below, there was a group, wearing military uniforms, fighting against eight Stage 2 Zombie Crawlers.
His eyes fell onto one person who seemed to be the leader of the group, his eyes were glistening in excitement, "I have found My General!"
