Apocalypse After

Stupid Is Also an Advantage

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Arriving at the promised place, Alexander greeted with a friendly smile on his face. Clayton, Rocky, Muddy, Sam, and Aurora. Including himself, there was Paul who had not yet arrived.

“You arrived on time, Alexander. It's just, it seems Mr. Paul is a bit late for a reason.” Clayton said casually, but seemed dissatisfied that Paul was late.

Alexander looked relaxed. While waiting, he observed the teammates who were going to go with him.

Clayton, Rocky, and Muddy wear standard gear. Relatively thick leather clothing, elbow and knee protectors, shoes, gloves, and one sword at the waist.

Sam and Aurora also use similar equipment. The difference is, they use chest protection.

Meanwhile, Alexander's clothes were similar to those of the two of them. The difference was that he carried two swords and one dagger. The young man left his spear at home because he felt it was not so necessary.

Of course, the equipment is still ordinary because the two main materials for making swords have not been processed. It may take longer to collect other ingredients.

“Sorry, I'm late because there's a little problem on the way.”

Hearing that, the six of them turned their heads towards Paul who was carrying more complete equipment. Similar to Alexander, but not covered by a cloak. It was just that his weapon replaced a large axe and a dagger at the waist.

While most of the members were feeling unsatisfied, Alexander's eyes narrowed.

‘Family, huh?’

For Paul's middle-aged age, probably around his forties, having a family and having a child was normal. It's just that, not everyone wants to have a family because it is considered troublesome. Not only does it add weakness, but it also creates a burden on the mind. Not to mention having to support them.

Those are some of the reasons why some Hunter did not choose to get married.

“Alright, it's okay! Let's go!”

Clayton got up and started leading the group. Some others followed. Meanwhile, Paul who knew he was wrong could only nod lightly with a wry smile on his face. Still choose to follow despite being a little tired after running around.

“Is something wrong Alexander?” clayton asked, seeing Alexander quiet.

“Hm? It's okay,” replied Alexander who just realized from his daydream.

The young man shook his head. Walking following the other six people, he let out a long sigh. He kept walking while reminding himself.

‘Don't think of stupid things at a time like this. That's not important at all!’

In the afternoon.

“Today we stop here.”

Hearing Clayton's words, the rest of the group glanced at each other then nodded. They began to look for a suitable place to rest.

Clayton and his two subordinates set up a medium-sized tent. Paul also set up a tent. Sam, Aurora, and Alexander did not set up tents at all. Even the three of them did not take him.

According to them, there was no need to stay in the tent as long as they carried thick robes or blankets. Some of that stuff is enough. Rather than bringing a tent, they prepared a place to bring the various materials they would bring back. Of course, Clayton and Paul were also carrying such containers.

“Why don't we continue the journey, Chairman?” ask Rocky with a confused expression.

“Can't we cover a longer distance in an hour or two?” added Muddy.

Hearing the questions of his two subordinates, Clayton instantly massaged his temple. He behaved like a person in distress because he had two stupid subordinates.

“Sure because this place is safer. If we go too far and choose a random location, it is difficult to rest at night.” Clayton shook his head.

“While we keep watch alternately at night?” ask Rocky.

“What's the use of keeping watch if the enemy is too much or stronger?” The man looked at Rocky with a strange expression.

Seeing that scene, the other four members shook their heads. They were a little wondering where Clayton found the goofy subordinates but were so submissive like them.

As usual, Alexander chose a large stone that looked striking. He sat leaning between the rocks tightly. With a gray robe and covering the head with a hood, the young man became even harder to detect. Similar to monster camouflage, but worse.

While leaning back, Alexander closed his eyes. He held his breath well. Trying to rest her body immediately. The young man did not forget to eat some dry food to restore energy.

“Why not relax, guys? It's still a safe zone. That's why we spend the night here, right?” said Clayton who saw people on alert.

“What Clayton said is true. You guys are young, so be alert is a bit natural. But in a place like this, it's better to relax before going to the next place.” Paul added.

“...”

Alexander nodded lightly with a smile on his face. However, he did not let go of his vigilance at all.

‘Casual? Is that really doable?’

The young man thought in a skeptical manner. Whether it was outside or inside the shelter, he was always on guard. Even while sleeping, Alexander did not hug a pillow or bolster, but hugged a knife to feel safe.

Turning his face to look towards the setting sun, the young man muttered, “Seeing the world in such an easy and beautiful way ...

While the others were busy, Aurora who was watching Alexander looked puzzled. Looking at the young man who saw the sunset scene with a smile, he did not feel any happiness from it at all. Instead, in the eyes of the young man ...

Aurora felt a trace of sadness.

The woman shook her head, not wanting to think too much about things that had nothing to do with herself. After finding a suitable place, then he immediately rested.

They also began to rest. Eating supplies and starting to divide the task, the silent night passed.

Next day.

Before noon, Alexander and six others arrived in front of the small cave. Its size could not even accommodate two people at once. Such a sight clearly made the people in the group suspicious.

Indeed, the place is remote. Not a very dangerous area, but really well hidden.

“You didn't lie to us, did you, Clayton?” Sam immediately pulled out his weapon, ready to fight at any time.

Not only Sam, but Paul and Aurora also pulled out their weapons. Meanwhile, Alexander stared with a friendly smile. It really looked relaxed and did not fit the tense situation in that place.

“Quiet! Be patient, friends! I'm not lying at all!”

Clayton hurriedly prevented a battle from happening. He immediately explained with a nervous expression on his face.

“I found this place by accident, which is why there are so many good things there. Really haven't been taken by anyone else. If still can't believe it, I'll be in front and show you the way.”

Clayton's explanation made them look at each other and then nod. Even so, they did not return their records. It seems ready to fight at any time.

In the end, Clayton actually guided them through a narrow passageway. Not too long ago, they reached the other side of the passageway.

As the darkness dissipated and the dazzling light of their eyes began to subside, Alexander and the rest of the people immediately put on shocked expressions on their faces. Right in front of them, there was a view so lush that there were many berries and various colorful flowers.

What a beautiful place so hidden!

Alexander immediately glanced at Clayton with a complicated expression. That person was clearly not smart, looked reckless, and was less reliable. He was lucky to find a place like this.

It could not help but make the young man complain inwardly.

‘My guess should be right. It turns out that fools also have their own advantages.’
