Apocalypse After

Setting a Target and Departing

At the moment of hearing Alexander's introduction, many people were shocked. However a portion of them including Clayton frowned. Seemingly disbelieving and assuming the young man was trying to deceive them.

“Forget about female Hunter ..” Clayton raised his eyebrows. “Are you trying to fool the people here, son? Newcomers trying things?”

Hearing Clayton's words, many people nodded. The people who were previously shocked also frowned. They felt a bit angry because they had been fooled.

Meanwhile, Alexander did not say anything at all. The young man threw the empty glass in his right hand upwards.

Swooshes!

Alexander pulled the short knife behind his back. Move forward and then slash. After that he sheathed back his knife and caught the previously thrown glass.

At that time, some people did not respond. Yet the people who had become Hunters narrowed their eyes. Clearly feeling surprised at the speed of the young man's movements.

Meanwhile, Clayton looked at Alexander who was standing two steps ahead of him with a horrified expression. He held onto his leech with cold sweat drenching his back.

‘If it's not a knife back ..’

Feel cold iron ‘softly brush’ neck, Clayton shivering. He did not expect that the young man in front of him was truly a Hunter, so he was careless. Not to mention, the man was completely startled by Alexander's hand speed.

“You-“

“Alexander,” interrupted the young man. “Pretty lucky to be a Hunter earlier and not too long ago came to Shelter 13. Greetings know.”

After saying that, Alexander poured the juice into a glass and lifted it in front of Clayton. He put on a friendly smile. It did not look like a young man who had just slashed at one's neck.

“O-Oh! Greetings,” Clayton replied with a stiff expression. Definitely not calm.

Looking at the other five members of the group, Clayton pretended to cough to restore his good impression. Rubbing his nose with his finger, the man again said.

“More table orders. We'll talk about the details later.”

Hearing Clayton's words, the four new members nodded lightly. Then the seven of them ordered a bigger table and sat around it.

Clayton glanced at Aurora, but ended up saying nothing. At first he wanted to trouble the woman for feeling unsuitable to be in this group. It was just that the previous incident made him doubtful. Obviously afraid of kicking the steel plate again (dealing with troublesome people who cannot be handled)

“It seems I really don't fit in here. Too much terrible talent at such a young age,” said Paul half-jokingly as he stroked his beard.

Paul himself knows, Sam's age is a little older but not that old. Clayton is younger. Aurora is obviously also a woman in her mid to late twenties. Plus Alexander who looked so young, he knew that his talent was not as good as theirs. Not just his talent, but his luck.

“We should young people should study and rely on a senior like you, Mr Paul.” Alexander said casually before taking a sip of the juice in his hand.

“Alexander correct. We should respect the older and love the young. We must learn from the experience of the seniors.” Sam who had been silent nodded in agreement.

“Hahaha! Then please take care of me in the future,” Paul said with a friendly smile on his face.

“...”

After exchanging a few sentences and introducing themselves to each other, they all know that Clayton's two subordinates are named Rocky and Muddy. Meanwhile, Aurora just kept quiet and acted cold. Obviously not interested in things that have nothing to do with their ‘work’.

“Then we will go to the main topic.” Clayton said with a serious expression. “Actually I accidentally found that place. There are plenty of berry trees and bird nests. Not so strong, only sparrows but the number is many.”

“Only that?” paul asked suspiciously.

“Do not underestimate the amount. Although it is not a top grade material, but it gives us quite a lot of contribution points. At least last long enough.” Clayton shook his head with a disapproving expression. “In addition to the berry tree, there are also some plants that I do not know the type. Black flowers or something. Probably valuable, right? Anyone know?”

“If not see it directly, I don't know.” Paul shook his head.

“I'm not an expert at it.” Sam also shook his head.

Sensing the gazes of the people, Alexander who was drinking finally put down his glass. Putting on a sour and helpless expression, he said, “Hasn't he been lucky enough to become a Hunter at this age? Other than hard work in training, I don't understand much at all.”

Alexander's reply made them all nod lightly. Sensing Aurora glancing towards him, the young man continued drinking without caring about it.

Hearing that, Clayton looked delighted. He then said in a friendly and humble tone, “Then we will count on you two, Mr. Paul and Miss Aurora.”

After that, they discussed while drinking the juice that was treated by Clayton. Not so long, but make certain of their departure.

In the end, it was agreed that the seven of them would leave two days later. Gather in front of Shelter 13 gates in the morning.

After discussing everything, they got up and separated.

On the way back, Alexander sensed that someone was following him. After a while and arriving at a fairly quiet place, he turned around while asking in a friendly manner.

“Is there a reason why you followed me, Miss Aurora?” ask the young man.

About seven meters away from Alexander, Aurora stood looking at him with cold eyes behind her mask. The woman's right hand held the sword hilt at her waist. Clearly ready to fight at any time.

“Do we know each other? We've met before?” asked Aurora coldly.

“No,” reply Alexander casually and carelessly.

“Then why did you get up and join that little group after I did it. Is ... has anyone sent you?”

“Send me?” Alexander tilted his head. With a friendly smile, she added, “It seems that you have a good background, Miss Aurora.”

Realizing that she was careless from being too worried, Aurora felt somewhat angry. He instantly drew his sword and rushed towards Alexander quickly.

Swooshes!

Seeing the swinging sword, Alexander did not avoid it at all. In the end, the sword stopped near his neck without hitting him.

“Why don't you avoid it?” asked Aurora coldly.

Hearing that, Alexander chuckled while shaking his head.

“Because you won't cut me,” replied the young man.

After which, Alexander pushed the sword away with his index finger. Sure enough, Aurora instantly pulled back the sword and sheathed it.

“If nothing else, I will go first.”

Leaving that sentence, Alexander walked away. Completely left Aurora standing in her forging in a daze.

---

Two days later.

“Time passes by.”

Alexander packed various weapons and equipment that had been well maintained with a flat expression on his face. The young man got up and took his robe.

Before leaving the house, Alexander patted both sides of his cheeks several times. Making sure his expression had changed and looked friendly, he let out a long sigh.

“Be someone else and hide behind a mask ..”

“Truly troublesome.”

After that, Alexander left the house. Despite having hidden his things well, he did not forget he locked the door. Only then did he leave.
