Apocalypse After

Set Limitations

Her afternoon.

‘As expected. The mercenaries will be sent to the most chaotic place.’

Holding a single sheet of notes containing his personal information and where he would be assigned, Alexander silently nodded. As expected, in the previous meeting, most of the free hunters were assigned to a more chaotic place.

Meanwhile, the original troops of Shelter 13 were assigned to guard District 1 and District 2. Few were assigned to District 3 and District 4. While District 5, it seems that those people do not want to bother taking care of the refugees.

Of course, not to be left alone. Merely, the guards sent to District 5 were not so much. You could say very few and there were no strong people in between. Only five level 2 and 20 level 1 people helped.

District 5 is the largest and most crowded area. That many soldiers were clearly lacking. It was really handled so carelessly without caring about the people who lived there.

‘After all, for them, the refugees are no different at all from the wild beasts that only his labor.’ utilizes

Thinking that, Alexander could not help but sigh deeply.

“Is something wrong, pal?”

Clayton's lazy and somewhat frivolous voice entered Alexander's ears.

The young man turned his head then replied casually, “Nothing.”

“Is there really no problem? By the way, where will you be assigned, Alexander?” clayton asked with a curious look on his face.

“I'll go to District 5. Aurora will also go to the same,” Alexander replied with a smile on his face.

“Eh? You actually went to such a chaotic place?” clayton. The man then continued. “Ugh! I was assigned to District 3. I want to work with you guys. Too bad, really very unfortunate.”

Alexander glanced at Clayton. If not for the smile on the man's face, he might have a little confidence. But when he saw it, the young man could not believe it even if he forced himself to believe it.

“Stop lying to yourself. I know you must be comfortable and relieved to be lucky to be assigned to District 3 instead of District 5 which is chaotic. Even so, I still have to remind ...

Be careful of the soldiers. Even if it was in the same camp, it was only temporary. I don't think they treat us as equals.”

Hearing Alexander's whisper, Clayton nodded with a serious expression. The man patted his chest while saying.

“Just calm down, I will definitely adapt well. Instead, you should be careful because lately the refugees are becoming more and more restless.”

“Understood,” replied Alexander while nodding lightly.

The two eventually separated. Both of them had no intention of going out for a drink. They chose to return to prepare. Anyway ...

Tomorrow they will begin to carry out the task and it seems that the task is not as simple as it seems.

Next morning.

In his rented house, Alexander had prepared himself. The young man dressed up pretty neatly. Not only was she wearing fairly complete and clean equipment, but she also had a friendly smile on her face. The smile of a good and humble junior, made the person who saw it instantly feel a good impression.

“Sounds this is enough? It should not be too excessive.”

In contrast to the friendly smile on his face, Alexander's voice sounded so flat. There is absolutely no emotional fluctuation.

After adjusting his tone, Alexander went to work.

As this was their first day of employment, Alexander left early. The young man was planning to arrive at the location before the people. Not only to maintain a positive appearance, but also be able to use the time to study the area around where he will work.

Around half an hour and a half in the morning, Alexander finally arrived at the location.

Although not the first to arrive, the young man was among the top five who arrived early. After waiting for about half an hour, almost everyone gathered. If calculated well, forty of the seventy free hunters are placed here.

In addition to the free hunters and warriors from the Blood Cross, there were also the apprentice hunters who were asked to help. Almost all the apprentices who were willing to join were sent to this place. Although not all of them, the number alone was around 120 people.

‘The people above actually use the mercenaries easily. Likely, the payment is also cheap and does not match the original point exchange rate.’

At the time when everything was gathered, the knights ordered them to form 8 patrol squads to watch over the various areas in District 5. Yep. Those eight small squads were made because of the number of level 2 senior hunters. They would lead four level 1 people and fifteen apprentices to duty.

Looking at the map where District 5 was divided into area A to area H, the corner of Alexander's lips twitched. He could not help but complain in his heart.

‘Eight squads for eight areas. While the soldiers from the Blood Cross were just guarding the door or post, the eight squads went around to order the masses. Really make us as cheap labor!’

Despite his complaints, Alexander still went to where he was assigned. He will follow Squad F, where Aurora is also in the same squad. The young man thought it was natural because the upper party must have data and everything was grouped according to the data.

At the sight of the squad leader, Alexander could not help but massage his forehead.

‘Isn't that in the early 50s? Even mid or near the end?’

Unlike the other squad leaders who were mostly around 40 years old, the leader of Squad F where Alexander was located was a level 2 old man who was around 50 years old! This made the young man start to doubt whether he was lucky or not.

“Hahaha! My name is Barton. Maybe I look old, but my soul is still young!” said Mr. Barton with his arms crossed while laughing.

Mr. Barton is an old man with complete standard armor. He wore heavy armor and carried a sizable sword on his waist. Her hair had all whitened, but it still looked energetic because her body was so fit and well-groomed.

Taking a deep breath, Alexander calmed down. Seeing some people hesitating, he came forward with a friendly smile on his face.

“It's nice to meet you, Mr. Barton. My name is Alexander, Hunter level 1. Please cooperate,” greet the young man is friendly.

“Oh?? You should surprise a lot of people, son. You are so young and look so promising. In fact they call you White Flash at level 1, whereas usually people get nicknames at level 2 or higher.” Mr. Barton greeted kindly, not at all stingy of praise.

By the time Alexander introduced himself, many of the apprentices were shocked. Most of them were older than the young man, but clearly not as lucky as him.

Right then, their focus instantly shifted towards the robed woman and wearing the mask.

Sensing their gazes, Aurora nodded lightly as she said, “Aurora, Hunter level 1.”

At that moment, a man about 35 years old with a burly body walked forward. He was wearing a thick fur suit with an animal skull on his right shoulder. The man also carried an axe on his back.

“Include, my name is Joshua, Hunter level 1.” Joshua nodded with a friendly expression.

“My name is Seamus, Hunter level 1. Greetings,” said the 30-year-old man with clothes like a thief. It was a bit messy, but strangely the man's face was quite delicate and did not look cunning. It doesn't fit his clothes at all.

After which, the apprentice hunters also started to introduce themselves one by one. Most of them were adult men, there were only two or three young men. Clearly, the way of the hunters is not as easy as it seems, and they are the proof.

After introducing himself and getting to know each other, Mr. Barton clapped his hands to distract.

As the men looked at him, the old man said.

“Before, there is something I want to explain to you.

Unlike the guards, we were recruited as mercenaries. So, I will not use my rank as a squad leader arbitrarily. Since we are free hunters, we have limits. I mean, each other's privacy.

In an emergency, I will give you the order to fight or retreat together. We must cooperate, and you must follow such orders. However, there are also commands that you do not need to follow.

Miss Aurora, for example, or some two masked people there. I won't force you to reveal a face or anything. Nor do I ask you to give me food or pay bills for me.

The point is, we're just doing the job of keeping security together. It was to guard the interests of each one, so there was no need to make a fuss and sow discord. Anyway ...

Our goal is to follow this same setting.”

Hearing Mr. Barton's words, everyone nodded. They agreed with the way the old man arranged. It makes no coercion at all and must be subject to regulation. Such a thing instantly won the hearts of his subordinates.

Looking towards Mr. Barton, Alexander silently nodded.

‘Indeed ... Older chili is also more spicy.’
