Apocalypse After

Compulsory

Finished drinking with Clayton, Alexander went to District 4. After going through several rounds, the young man arrived in front of the small house. Larger than a single room huddles in DIstrik 5, but it is indeed rather bad among ‘rumah’ in District 4.

After a slight hesitation, Alexander decided to knock on the door.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

A few moments later, the door was half open. A black-robed figure and wearing a mask came out while carrying a sword that had been unsheathed. Seeing that it was Alexander, he finally said.

“What's coming to my place? If nothing matters, go back.”

Hearing those cold words, Alexander smiled kindly while whispering, “Isn't winter coming? It's so cold tonight, how about I help you warm up?”

Just as Alexander's remark was settled, the door was instantly closed. However, before the door closed, Alexander stuffed it with one leg. Just then, a dissatisfied voice sounded.

“I told you, if nothing matters, come back!” said the cold Aurora.

Alexander shrugged his shoulders. He threw away the previous joking appearance. Having a flat expression on his face, the young man said, “I have important news. If you want to hear the whole thing-“

“Come in,” Aurora said with an impatient expression.

Seeing the door open, Alexander tilted his head. The young man went into the room. After that. he can't help but complain, “You're less careful.”

“Instead, I did it because I wasn't stupid.” Aurora closed the door impatiently. “Isn't it snowing tonight? Can I stay out with you just to find a safe place to talk?”

“Usually you won't let me in. Besides, there's no other choice. We can't talk on the streets. You also do not want to go to my place,” said Alexander flat.

“It's not funny, Al. So ...” Aurora let the young man sit down. “What do you want from me?”

Alexander sat on a chair. Glancing towards the one clean and tidy room, he slightly nodded. The young man then looked towards Aurora who was sitting on the bed.

“You must have heard what happened today, right?” ask Alexander.

“Ya.” Aurora nodded seriously. He then took off his mask. “You were there and saw it directly?”

Alexander did not change his expression. The young man said in a serious tone.

“I was there, and that guy was really strong. Perhaps only Shelter 13 leaders who were at level 4 could defeat him. The woman is at level 3, and she .. seems very difficult to fight against by people of the same level.”

Upon hearing Alexander's words, Aurora's body trembled violently. He clenched his hands with vigor. A look full of longing could not be hidden in his eyes.

Alexander was slightly stunned when he saw Aurora's appearance. Now the woman is not wearing her robe or mask. Arguably, every movement of Aurora was caught by her eyes.

Straight blonde hair up to the back, white skin, and body curves that can be said to be hot. Coupled with his fairly contained appearance and not too thin like these people who almost starved to death, it would be a lie if Alexander said he was not interested.

As a normal young man, Alexander certainly had that kind of feeling. Only, he could suppress and control it well.

At the sight of Aurora's face, Alexander could not help but sigh in his heart.

Aurora actually looks pretty. White skin, beautiful face shape, even has red eyes like rubies that are unique and beautiful. Only, there were two wounds on the left side of his face. The two wounds were vertical blade slashes from the forehead past the eyes and corners of the seedling, until it finally stopped on the chin.

After months of being his partner, Alexander knew the woman well enough. Even he knew the reason why Aurora wanted to become a powerful hunter. More precisely, a respected female hunter.

“Do you feel disgusted and uncomfortable seeing this ugly face?” aurora said as she stroked the wound on her face.

Alexander shook his head lightly then said, “Same is not.” at all

The young man knew the reason why Aurora had injured herself. As a woman, she really was not considered a human being. Even in her family, Aurora was not treated well.

Her father and sister wanted to sell it for the sake of the relationship. Of course, he meant not to be sold as a slave. Aurora will be betrothed to a man from a larger family without asking his opinion.

Feeling that she was no better than the tools in her family's eyes, Aurora chose to injure her face. The injury was severe enough to nearly lose one of his eyesight. Fortunately, even though his wound looked quite terrible, his eyes were saved.

In the end, Aurora runs away from home and begins to live as a hunter. Of course, it was very heavy at first. It took him almost two years before he became an official hunter. After becoming a level 1 hunter, he had been stalled for almost a year due to not being able to develop at the intermediate level shelter. He eventually moved to Shelter 13 and met Alexander.

“I told you, I don't care about your looks. Instead, when I saw the wound, I felt firmness in the decision you chose,” interrupted Alexander while shaking lightly.

“Your mouth is really sweet, Al. Despite being young, you are really good at seducing people.” Aurora said in a half-joking tone, completely incompatible with her temperament.

“With a great sword hanging overhead, of course one can become more mature than a fellow of his age.” Alexander shrugged his shoulders.

After a while, he finally raised his hand to signal for Aurora to be quiet. The young man then whispered softly.

“Clayton says that tomorrow Shelter 13 will be conscripted. Tomorrow they will start announcing and start recruiting people as temporary members. Said the man, everything seems voluntary but we have to follow him.

From Clayton's explanation, it should be that those people would start gathering hunters and make them into mercenaries to solve the chaos problem. Pressuring people in District 3 and District 5 not to throw tantrums.

Although not forced, but I feel we should join. After all, they will definitely take down and target us if not join. Even if we are neutral, but we will be considered enemies.

That kind of thing is not profitable, so we will join as mercenaries. That way we can find the gap between this mess. Avoid unnecessary issues in order to survive in Shelter 13.”

Hearing Alexander's explanation, Aurora's expression became increasingly serious. He clearly did not expect that everything would become more and more messy. After a long sigh, the woman finally said.

“Understanding.”

Next morning.

Just as Clayton had said, the hunters finally received a call. It's just, not a direct call. Instead, they all rang a large bell that was in the middle of District 4.

It was an emergency sign where people were asked to gather together.

At about half-eight in the morning, people gathered in a fairly large square in the middle of District 4. Many people came, even most of them brought families because they did not know what happened.

In a glance, the hunters Alexander saw numbered in the tens. Even if it is less than a hundred people, but there are more than seventy free hunters here. Not tied to Blood Cross at all.

Looking at the figure of the middle-aged man who appeared surrounded by many guards, Alexander's eyes narrowed.

‘A level 3 official? It's started, is it?’

While thinking that, Alexander scanned around. Seeing that Clayton and Aurora were present, he nodded lightly at them then refocused on the middle-aged man who had just arrived.

“I'm sorry for making you come here in a panic. Introduce, my name is Roy. You can call me Sir Roy as the soldiers call me.

The reason why I'm here is to ask you guys for help. Although the number of guards (soldiers) in Shelter 13 is many, but not enough to deal with this problem. Not only did the monsters start to become ferocious in the winter, but the citizens became out of control due to hunger in the winter. The arrival of the criminals yesterday also made the situation even more uncontrollable.

Therefore, I ask you to help stabilize the situation. Of course, in addition to being considered a temporary member, you will get a contribution reward that is in accordance with the mission you are doing.

So, again ... please help us.”

Hearing Sir Roy's words, many people looked at each other. The situation is becoming more and more crowded. Not to mention, many proud hunters were dissatisfied with Sir Roy's attitude when asking them. Most of them refuse.

Meanwhile, some people started to come forward and ask. Finally, when Sir Roy asked the person who wanted to help gather, Alexander came forward slowly.

The young man looked at the arrogant-looking soldiers with a friendly smile on his face.

‘Alright ... Now what kind of game do you want to play?’

Thinking that, Alexander's eyes flashed coldly. In the end, it followed the crowd and mingled while waiting for the next arrangement.

Just like a snake hiding behind leaves, patiently waiting for time to show its fangs.
