Apocalypse After

Ghouls

Ghoul, that's what people call it.

That creature was a humanoid figure. It was similar to a human, but it looked thin, had pale skin wrinkled, a humpback body, and had no feathers all over its body. They also have sharp claws and fangs, red eyes that always see everything as prey.

It is said that the ghouls are descendants of zombies that are now extinct. Zombies themselves come from humans, so arguably they are distant relatives of humans. Even people who have crooked thoughts say that ghouls are the true evolution of human beings. Blessed by the world, unlike those who can now be destroyed at any time.

Ghouls also possessed strength, speed, and abilities surpassing ordinary humans. In addition, their numbers are also more. Have more advanced levels.

For most humans, they were nothing compared to the ghouls.

Among the ghouls, there were also some ghoul figures that were considered unique. They have certain abilities based on their skin color. Whether it's berserk abilities, acceleration, regeneration, and some unique abilities.

The Miracle root obtained from the creature was even more valuable compared to the normal type. It was also one of the reasons why Claude appreciated Alexander so much. Although the first miracle root is not entirely influential on the future, but it can be a good foundation. At least make the way forward easier.

“If you have the information I need. As long as it proves true, I will definitely repay you.” Alexander said with a serious expression.

“Ah! Consider it a favor.”

Seeing how Alexander was being serious, Claude felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, the information he had obtained was simply not done on purpose.

“Tell me everything. Even if I end up failing, I won't be in debt. There are still some precious things in my room. If I die, everything will be yours.”

The explanation from Alexander made Claude feel uneasy. The young man shook his head then explained.

“Actually it is not necessary. Anyway, I found that information by accident. It all started with ..”

Alexander sat quietly while listening to Claude's explanation. However, the longer he heard, the more astonished the young man became.

‘Is a fool always luckier?’

The question immediately crossed Alexander's mind. After all, from the young man's explanation, the word stupid or silly was more suitable to describe what happened to Claude.

Having become a genuine Hunter at such a young age, Claude experienced an easy and abundant life. He respected many people in the shelter. With his strength now, the young man could also more easily search for food. Although it cannot be picky, it is at least enough to eat.

It's just, Claude behaved so extravagantly. You could say, in these three months he spent all his wealth. Not only to collect henchmen, but also to do a thrilling game with the women in shelter 101. Even changing women every day, more often than changing clothes.

That's why Alexander said Claude was stupid!

Indeed, in these difficult and stressful times many women are willing to spend the night together just for a piece of food. It's just, for Alexander it's a waste of food, energy, and time. Claude does that every day. Even if it hadn't reached a hundred, it must have been over seventy times in these three months!

Not only was he more active than the chickens on the farm, Alexander wondered how the silly young man was still alive today! That guy really ‘work’ too hard!

Long story short, Claude lost a lot of wealth, so eventually chose to go on a hunt. In the process, he suffered injuries. He was lucky enough to meet a unique colored ghoul and be able to escape alive.

It has nothing to do with Alexander.

“I'm too stupid to worry about people like you.”

“I told you, no need to think too much about it.” Claude shrugged, clearly not feeling guilty.

Alexander frowned. After a while, he opened his mouth again.

“Although it was unintentional, but this information was indeed useful to me. So I'll arrange it according to the deal. If I find him and hunt him down, I'll pay you right after I get back. If I fail and get killed, then all my treasures will be yours.”

“Itu-“

“Not to be talked about anymore. The decision is final. Then take care of yourself, I go first.”

Alexander interrupted Claude's words. The young man got up then turned around after nodding lightly towards the young man who was lying on the bed.

“Are you going to do it in a hurry? How about waiting for my wound to get better? This time I will help you.”

Hearing Claude's words made Alexander's movements slow down slightly. However, in the end he shook his head then left the room. Not forgetting to close the door. Having a somewhat gloomy expression, the young man returned to his room.

‘How can I wait? I've been waiting half a year. If this time disappears, I don't know when I can find it.’

...----------------...

A few hours later.

After preparing everything, Alexander walked out of his room. The young man carried two swords on the left side of his waist, a knife behind his waist, and carried a spear in his right hand. He also carried a leather backpack containing supplies and a rope that was so long.

The figure of a handsome young man with jet black hair, slightly pale skin, and beautiful sapphire-like eyes. Coupled with the equipment he was carrying and the somewhat cold feeling around him, Alexander instantly became the center of attention. Making many people who were passed by stare at him while whispering something.

Everyone was obviously used to Alexander's appearance. In their minds, the young man must have gone to look for food and water. Not only to settle the rental fee, but also stockpiling food for use a few days later.

Ignoring the people, Alexander walked through the main road, and finally came out of the cave.

At that time also the rather gloomy view of the cave was replaced with a view of the expanse of forest that was so green. It's just that they can't misjudge. Although around the cave there is a forest, but the land is very hard.

You could say, there are only certain trees and shrubs growing. The plant cannot bear fruit and cannot be eaten. So in search of food and water, people from shelter 101 have to go pretty far. Go to a rather fertile area, with a flowing river there.

“The decision to go a little afternoon is indeed less precise. If it is like this, it may be faster tired and thirsty. With thin provisions, I hope to get to the destination without problems.”

Alexander muttered softly. His expression gradually became more solemn and cold than before.

'This time I have to succeed so that I can immediately go to the next step.'

'There is no time to waste .. because time waits for no one.'
