Apocalypse After

Overuse

About two hours later.

After exchanging most of the items they brought with contribution points, Alexander and Aurora returned to their respective residences. On the way, they circled around in the deserted area of District 3 before going to District 4.

In the quiet and somewhat dark alley, Aurora glanced at Alexander who had a sad expression on his face.

“Without thinking, it turns out you have a face so thick,” said the woman.

“It doesn't matter if they consider me a whiny loser or shameless. Nah! Better they think that I am like that,” replied Alexander in a flat tone.

“...”

Aurora did not say anything, but did think that the young man beside her was really shameless.

If thought carefully, everyone would not have to die if at the beginning Alexander helped. Whether it was smoke to keep away the insects and his fighting skills were clearly better than some Hunters who consumed some level 2 potions. But from the beginning the young man just became a spectator and moved when he thought it would benefit him.

The kind of cunning guy Aurora actually wants to stay away from, but instead gets stuck with.

“Omong-by the way, about some material it-“

“Nothing to talk about.” Alexander interrupted. “I'll give you the result.”

“You can still concoct potions?” aurora asked in a low voice.

“Either record it yourself, sell it through a special line, or find someone I trust. That has absolutely nothing to do with it. All you need to do is accept the finished result. As simple as that.”

“...”

Aurora was about to retaliate, but ended up silent when she saw Alexander's eyes. Although the young man put on a sad face, but he could still see cold eyes staring at him. It made the woman finally shake her head without much thought.

“Then we'll meet again at the bar later tonight. For now, we part here,” said Alexander.

The young man then walked past the large gate in front of District 4, directly going to his house. Leaving Aurora who was silent for some time while looking at her back.

Arriving at home, Alexander immediately hung his robe. The young man then placed the berry on a shelf in the space where the groceries were collected.

After that, Alexander went to the main room to dismantle the large parcel.

There are several leaf packs to separate the various ingredients of the herb so as not to mix. The young man then set aside some key ingredients to make a low-level healing potion. There are also some key ingredients for making itchy ointments or low-level poison bidders.

“Sisa ingredients to make potions are not so expensive, I can buy them on the black market. While the rest ..”

Alexander gazed towards a package with a quite excited expression. He put on a cloth mask before opening it.

Inside, there are 3 flower stalks. It looked like a shoe flower the size of a palm. It's just, it's black with a little yellow in the pistil.

“Although level 2 materials are not as rare as materials at the next level, but I did not expect to find them so quickly.

In fact, I think I should join a better temporary group after getting a reputation. Only then went to the deeper forest area to get it. But who would have thought that I obtained the main ingredient to make a special evolution potion in a relatively safe place?

Only three have fully bloomed. But from the size of the tree and the number of buds, it should be enough to make 10 potions. Now, the problem is the survivor, Clayton.”

According to Alexander, Clayton's survivor was an unstable factor. It could have been that person telling others about the secret place's information. Although the main road is closed, but they may be looking for an alternative way. Even if not many people know the recipe, but not everyone is stupid. The flower can be sold at a hefty price for special poison-making materials.

“Should I kill him?” mummy Alexander.

After giving it some thought, Alexander finally shook his head. He felt it was a bit excessive. It was obvious the reason why he was able to obtain a stable place to hunt and pluck the ingredients of the potion was Clayton. So killing him felt a bit excessive.

Actually Alexander also did not conspire against the previous team members. He just played as a normal Hunter. Not intentionally trapping them, but also not helping them. According to him, the reason why they all died was not because of him, but their own mistakes.

“If not killed, then another path is not hostile to him. Instead, be friends with him. Not only does it minimize unnecessary risk factors, but it can get some useful information if lucky.

That person ... should be able to be considered as a golden egg-laying goose. Rather than being killed, it was better to be nurtured and raised well. That's more profitable.”

After getting the conclusion, Alexander went to put the three flowers in a special container and put them on a shelf near the window. Let dry by wind before processing to the next stage.

Sitting in his chair, the young man started taking notes before going to rest.

“You are really cruel to yourself.”

Aurora said with a complicated expression behind her mask. In front of him, there was Alexander. Despite wearing relatively clean clothes, there were some scratches and a slight blue bruise on his face. Not only that, the young man also walked in an abnormal manner.

Alexander did not break his leg. The young man did not even get injured, everything was done by him alone. Truly a cunning man, but also daring to be so cruel to himself.

“Have a long wait?” ask Alexander.

“Not so long.” Aurora shook her head.

“Then we enter.”

After saying that, Alexander limped towards the pub with Aurora. Unlike her contrived self, the woman was completely injured. If not for being forced, it would definitely not have come and chosen to rest its body.

As soon as the two of them entered, the bustling atmosphere instantly became silent. Many people were looking at the two of them. After a while, they whispered to each other and began to get busy with themselves.

‘Me!’

Looking at the disheveled-looking Clayton drinking in a quiet corner without anyone around him, Alexander's eyes flashed. The young man then walked towards him.

At that very moment, Clayton turned his head. Looking at Alexander and Aurora who had survived, his expression seemed distorted.

“TWO TIMES!”

Clayton rushed straight at Alexander and then hit him hard in the face. The young man immediately fell to the floor. Instead of attacking back, he just sat on the floor with a depressed expression.

Klang's!

Alexander put two swords on the floor. Looking at the two swords, Clayton's eyes became even redder.

“Where did you get it?” clayton.

“It ..”

Alexander took a long breath. A moment later, he muttered in a voice that everyone could hear.

“At that time the situation was completely chaotic and I panicked. I only had one smoke bomb, so I immediately threw it and ran away. At the time of the fall, I was lucky to just shift the bones of my left hand and foot.

When my mind was clear, I realized that everything was wrong. I tried to climb back up with all my might, but ...

But it's all too late.”

Alexander looked at his scar-filled fingertips as if wounded from climbing a cliff furiously and desperately. Having a tired and sad expression, the young man let out a long sigh.

“Only Aurora who barely survived is left there. The exit is also closed, it is impossible to pass back. So in the end I took care of Aurora and took some things in exchange for contribution points.

I feel guilty, but I have to live too. I ... what I can do is just bury the rest of them and bring their weapons back.”

BRUK!

Hearing Alexander's explanation, Clayton fell to his knees. The man hugged two swords belonging to Rocky and Muddy while crying without saying a word.

Seeing such a scene, the Hunters, especially those who were old enough and experienced only shook their heads. They know that Hunter Street is not as beautiful as people think.

There are too many stories of hurt and sorrow in it.

While everyone was grieving and giving a little respect, the silent Aurora rolled her eyeballs. Seeing such a miserable scene, he could not complain inwardly.

‘Speaking a lot of bullshit that spiced up a little truth. Even if it's acting ..’

‘Aren't you overreacting?’
