Apocalypse After

No Better Than Animals

Not fun.

Those are two words that describe the situation of District 5. Whether the density of people, dilapidated buildings, narrow streets, lack of cleanliness, or how seedy the place is. If people usually live in a more comfortable place, they will not feel at home there.

Looking at his three subordinates, Alexander shook his head slightly. Clearly, unlike some lucky hunters born in good families, they started from below alone like him.

“It's okay. You guys don't have to worry. No one should be trying to make a mess in a place like this. Besides, you need not be surprised. I'm just a little luckier than you guys.

By the way, as long as you guys are diligent, careful, and don't give up .. it shouldn't be a problem to be a hunter.”

While carrying the lantern with his left hand, Alexander said with a gentle smile on his face. Hearing his words, the three people nodded excitedly. Although they were the weakest in the squad, but they felt quite lucky.

Compared to joining a team of Aurora or Seamus who are cold and less friendly, team leaders like Alexander are better suited to them.

‘Really, having this idea is pretty outrageous. Using a hunter as a mercenary was fine, but making them stand guard 24 hours was simply too much. Good thing it doesn't snow, if it rains ...

That would be annoying and troublesome.’

Alexander let out a long sigh and complained in his heart. As he continued to walk around, a female voice suddenly sounded from the distance.

“NO! DON'T DO THAT!”

“KUMOHON ... NO!”

Hearing that scream, Alexander looked at his three subordinates then nodded lightly.

“We'll check it.”

After saying that, Alexander led his two subordinates away to the source of the voice.

In just a few breaths, they reached the location. There, an ominous-looking sight was seen in the eyes of the four of them.

In a house so cramped, there were four or five people who dropped a woman. They held his hands and feet. For what they were going to do, their savage appearance was already his explanation.

Not just those five people, but there were still eight people outside the small hut.

At the sight of the lantern light, they all stopped their movements. Seeing Alexander and his three subordinates, they immediately shouted.

“Who are you?! What are you guys doing here?”

“Yes! Don't make trouble, son! Go!”

“...”

Hearing the cries of those people, Alexander looked relaxed. With a friendly smile on his face, the young man gave the order.

“Drop them.”

At the moment of hearing Alexander's orders, the three furious apprentice hunters immediately advanced.

As expected, the enemy could not fight back at all. Conceivably, the apprentice hunter who had drunk the evolution potion had a stronger physique. They also eat more. The other party was people who even lacked food, without a strong physique and without manpower, how could they fight back?

BRUISES!

At that moment, one of Alexander's subordinates who had just consumed 3 potions was suddenly pushed back.

Alexander looked into the room. It turned out that one in five of those people was a hunter apprentice who had at least drunk 5 or 6 potions.

“How dare you guys make a mess here! If you dare to approach, I will kill this woman!”

The man strangled the woman with his left hand and pointed a knife at her neck.

Seeing that action, the expressions of Alexander's three subordinates became ugly. Meanwhile, the young man walked leisurely.

“Kill it,” Alexander said.

“K-You!”

Seeing the threat as useless, the person's expression became even more nervous. Seeing that 12 others had been dropped, he felt mixed feelings. On one hand, I feel angry. On the other hand, he was also scared.

“I know you feel desperate for fear of not being able to get through this winter and starving to death. However, I still can't let you break the rules and make a mess. Besides, now it's also my job.”

Alexander shrugged his shoulders. As the young man said, those people were indeed desperate. So before they die, they force themselves to break the rules. Even dead, at least have done something fun.

Usually, a service transaction where one party pays and the other gives pleasure is allowed. Even so, coercion is prohibited because such a thing will make people think the same thing and eventually lead to chaos.

Although the minds of those people were twisted, Alexander was still somewhat grateful. Because compared to ‘happy’, there are worse thoughts.

To survive and through difficult times ...

Kill another human and eat it!

By the time the man was a little off guard, Alexander had grabbed his right wrist then squeezed it firmly. Along with the sound of ‘crack!’, the knife in the man's hand fell to the floor.

“ARGH!”

Hearing the man's cry, Alexander pushed the woman who was detached from the clutches to the side. After that he kicked the man out of the hut.

At the moment of falling into the street, the man roared furiously.

“This is not my fault at all! It's the damned higher-ups' fault!”

He pointed towards Alexander in a panic.

“You should know! They kept a lot of food and let the little guy die! They hid the news on purpose!

If they don't do it, I won't bother thinking about this kind of thing. I am definitely not destined to die here! I will be the official hunter, live comfortably and get out of this rotten place!”

Hearing that roar full of sadness and anger, Alexander tilted his head.

“What does this have to do with me?” asked the young man innocently.

“YOU-“

Not yet had the man escaped, Alexander again hit him until he fell to the ground. The punch did not use all its strength, but it had already cracked some of the man's ribs.

“ARGH!” yelled the man.

Alexander immediately stepped on the man's left foot, broken like his right hand. The young man then grabbed the man by the collar and lifted him up.

“Who cares about your future. I don't even know you,” Alexander said as he smacked the man in the face.

Not stopping there, the young man continued to punch his opponent in the face while saying.

“Don't blame me. Just as you were ‘forced’, I was also forced to run errands.

You have been a provocateur and almost caused chaos, this could be bad for me.

Moreover, it's cold tonight. Assigned to a messy place like this, my mood is not good.

You don't blame me for being forced, do you? Didn't we? We're both forced to do it anyway?”

Speaking while continuing to hit, Alexander broke the man's nose. Not only that, many teeth fall out and blood flows. Unable to resist, the man simply stared at Alexander who was smiling kindly at him with eyes full of fear.

From the light of the lantern, the man saw a handsome face filled with splashes of blood. Seeing the friendly smile where the young man continued to chatter without stopping his punch, a single thought appeared in his mind.

‘IBLICAL! THIS MAN IS THE DEVIL!’

BRUK!

Looking at the man who had lost his consciousness, Alexander dropped him to the ground. Under everyone's shocked gaze, he took out a handkerchief then wiped the blood on his face then his fist.

After saving back his handkerchief, Alexander stretched his muscles while saying.

“Huh~ My mood has really gotten better. This is quite a relief!”

Hearing Alexander's remark, his three subordinates looked at each other with shocked and doubtful expressions. Seeing what the young man was doing, they couldn't help but start questioning something in their minds.

‘Following a team captain like this .. is it okay?’

At the moment they thought that, the woman in the hut suddenly kowtowed and banged her head against the floor violently.

“Thank you for your help, Gentlemen!”

Hearing that, Alexander waved his hand casually. He said in a friendly tone, not at all looking like a heartless person.

“Take it easy, it's our job. We are not all saints, so I will not try to say comfort words or anything like that. I hope you can get through this winter and live better.”

Not that Alexander doesn't know. From the woman's style, whether her beauty or pitying appearance, was clearly trying to find sympathy. Plus not trying to cover her body even though some of her clothes were torn, the woman tried to tease.

Many thoughtful women met their prince and came out of that hell. Stop fearing hunger, stop doing dirty things for a bite of food, and hope for a better life.

It's just, it's a beautiful dream but it's hard to come true.

Hearing Alexander's words, the woman raised her face with a helpless expression. White skin was a bit rough and thin body indeed could not cover her beauty. The wavy brown hair was smeared, and his figure looked quite seductive.

From his appearance, Alexander knew how the woman could last this long. Taking a deep breath, he complained in his heart.

‘Often times, humans are not even better than animals.’
