Apocalypse After

Agree or Not?

“AURORA!”

Hearing the screams that called out to him, Aurora turned her head. There, Paul looked so pale from blood loss. Seeing the pleading expression on the middle-aged man's face, he became full of doubt.

Sighing deeply, the woman finally said, “I cannot entrust my back to you.”

Hearing that, Paul's expression became dim. At the moment when he felt increasingly desperate and did not get a way out, Aurora's voice again sounded.

“While so, I also have no way out. So ...”

Aurora looked towards the horde of monsters that rushed to attack the two of them.

“At least I will fight with you until the end.”

---

A few hours later.

“Is this really impossible?”

Looking at the seven giant sparrows that were covered in wounds but still alive and looking ferocious, Aurora muttered with an expression full of regret. Whether it was energy, spirit, even additional items like energy recovery potions he had used. Even so, the woman failed to defeat the group of birds with too much.

Aurora glanced at Paul who was now dead. Not just dead, even his body had been torn to shreds. Leaving only bones, some flesh and blood attached to the bones, as well as pieces of messy cloth.

“If it is not split apart, can we not defeat the enemy and return with full pockets? That's what you're thinking, isn't it?”

As Aurora waited for the end of her life, the voice of the young man entered her ears. Just then, two white balls rolled a few meters not far from him.

BOOM UP!

Together with the loud sound of explosions, white smoke billowed and covered the surrounding area. Just then, a black shadow shot past the thick smoke.

A few minutes later, the smoke cleared up. Seven birds that were previously alive have lost their lives. Countless aphids have also escaped during the great battle of Aurora and Paul against a group of giant sparrows.

Not far from Aurora, only a handsome young man standing looking at her with a flat expression.

“You're back? No. ..” Aurora's pupils shrunk, clearly unable to hide her shock. Gritting his teeth, he said with a hateful tone. “Since the beginning you never went.”

“It seems that your brain is quite good.” Alexander shrugged his shoulders.

“Wait. In that case, the darting black shadow fell into the abyss earlier.” Noticing Alexander's appearance, he was again surprised. “Come? You threw your cloak, but what about the weight?”

Currently, Alexander was not wearing his robe. The young man revealed what was hidden under his cloak. Two swords, one knife, a chest protector, a knee and elbow protector, a water bottle, a rope wrapped around his body, and a leather bag on his back.

“Take a large stone and quite heavy, wrap it in a robe then throw it,” jawan Alexander relaxed.

“Simple it?” murmured Aurora with a complicated expression.

“Ya.” Alexander nodded.

At that moment, Aurora suddenly realized something was wrong. Gazing towards Alexander with a watchful and suspicious expression, he again asked.

“Why are you hiding? What is your real purpose?!” ask the woman.

“Why should I help? Wasn't Mr Paul messing with the formation? Why are you blaming me?” Instead of answering, Alexander asked back with a flat expression.

“You ..” Aurora was confused as to what to say.

“Since the beginning this is just a temporary small team. Not only was it unprofessional, but the level of loyalty was clearly much different from the guards or warriors under the Blood Cross. Situations where one of the members messed up, betrayed, or escaped were common.

You should be preparing yourself for this kind of ending. Otherwise, you will only get hurt and disappointed when reality slaps your face cruelly.”

Alexander spread out his hands, saying in a relaxed voice. It seems not to care about what happened before. Whether it was the death of Muddy, Rocky, Sam, and Paul .. The young man did not care and thought that such a thing had nothing to do with him.

From the beginning, the young man believed that people who were too weak would die. The Hunter Path is not a path that anyone can walk as long as they have desires and hopes, but also depend on reality.

“You didn't run away and chose to hide. But you finally came out to save me. That means you're not just focused on gathering groceries or points. From the beginning ...

You're after me?” aurora asked with a watchful expression.

After returning a bit of his energy after the smoke appeared and conversed with Alexander, Aurora immediately shot towards the young man and stabbed him fiercely.

Ding!

The sound of metal clanking was heard. In front of Aurora's shocked eyes, the previously careless-looking Alexander deflected his attacks easily.

“If under normal circumstances and carrying various additional items, it is obviously difficult to say who will win. As of now ..”

Jem!

Alexander pierced Aurora's waist with a flat face as he said, “You really have no chance.”

Seeing Aurora's expression change while enduring the pain, Alexander instantly drew back his sword. He then twisted his body and kicked the scar of the woman so hard.

BRUAK!!

The Aurora bounced off several menters and stopped when it hit a large tree. The woman directly covered the part of the wound on her waist while grinding her teeth. Definitely endure the pain until you can't say anything.

“You have no chance to win. So now you only have two choices. First, of course, death. While the last option ..” Alexander stroked his chin. “Join my team.”

“What?!” aurora asked with a puzzled expression, looking in disbelief.

“I know my words are hard to believe, but they are true. I want you to join my team.

If under normal circumstances, you will definitely refuse because you have your own pride. Even we could have fought fiercely because of such a thing. But now it's different. You only have two choices, come along or die. There is absolutely no escape route.

Besides, I feel like we both fit in. You have hatred and seem to be obsessed with power. It's just, you seem to want to prove that you ... a woman can be strong?”

Hearing Alexander's words, Aurora was shocked. That was because what the young man said was true.

Ignoring Aurora's shocked expression, Alexander continued.

“I feel we fit in because you want to flashy and I want to hide myself. If it was alone, everyone would definitely pay attention to my strength because the speed of collecting potions was rather fast.

It's different if I'm one group with you. Everyone must think that you are my benefactor. They'll think that my reason is getting stronger for trailing you. That's also a good reason to hide my true strength.”

“You ..” Aurora's eyes were wide. “You want to use me to be a cover for you?”

“Yes. Isn't that a win-win situation? Good cooperation, isn't it?” alexander said, clapping his hands.

Hearing Alexander's explanation, Aurora clearly felt very complicated. After a while, he asked doubtfully.

“Are you not afraid I will betray you?” aurora asked while holding onto her wound.

Hearing the question, Alexander tilted his head. With a blank expression on his face, the young man looked at the woman in front of him like he was looking at a fool.

“I'm not afraid. After all, from the start I didn't think you'd be a loyal companion or anything like that. Such a childish dream, you think the same way as my stupid friend.

I used you as a cover, hiding behind your shadow while strengthening high unattended. Instead, those of you who want to prove yourself will be highlighted. You will also use my help to become stronger.

Utilizing each other, that's how we work.

The contract period is until we reach level 2 and get the miracle root. After that, parting or continuing cooperation can be considered again. So ...”

Alexander pointed at Aurora's face with his sword.

“Agreed or not?”

Hearing Alexander's words and seeing the tip of the sword right in front of his eyes, Aurora smiled as she mocked herself so naively. Gripping tightly onto her wound, the woman's eyes were filled with determination.

“For what to ask? Don't you already know the answer? To reach my destination ..”

“I will also do everything!”
