Apocalypse After

Leaving Shelter 13

“What? Have you gone crazy?”

Hearing Alexander's words made Clayton feel that his friend had gone mad. Although Shelter 13 was chaotic, this kind of thing happened several times. For example the waves of wild beasts that occur every winter. It's just different from the scale where last year was smaller than the previous year.

“No Clay, I'm serious.” Alexander said calmly.

“Why?” clayton asked with a puzzled expression.

“Because I can't forget it.”

“You mean?” clayton asked with wide eyes.

“As you think, Clay. I'm still thinking about Aurora. Despite not knowing where he was now, he should still be in the shelter under Blood Cross. So ... I want to go look for him,” said Alexander with determination.

“Crazy! You are crazy!” scream Clayton.

At that moment, everyone stared at them. Realizing that he was yelling too loudly, Clayton apologized to the people and continued.

“The distance between the three big shelters is far and dangerous. In addition, there was also the possibility of Aurora coming to the main headquarters. Not to mention, what if he went to the intermediate-level shelter?

Trust me Al, it's hard to find him! Forget that! Forget about him.”

Hearing that, Alexander smiled wryly. He looked up with his eyes closed. The young man let out a long sigh then muttered, “That's what I want as well, but I can't do it.”

Looking at Alexander's expression, Clayton felt that the young man really could not be saved. He massaged his temple with a depressed expression. A few moments later, he finally said.

“When will you go?”

“Most time in 3 days,” replied Alexander.

Hearing Alexander's reply, Clayton nodded lightly. After a long breath, he said again.

“Drink! I'll accompany you for a drink because I don't know if we can meet again. I just hope you find what you're looking for!”

Alexander saw Clayton quite emotionally. Although their relationship wasn't that close, it seemed that their friendship was both better than Clayton's relationship with the other people in the pub.

Feeling a hint of gratitude in his heart, Alexander nodded lightly.

“Thank you.”

Next day.

“Does everything go smoothly, Mister?”

When she saw that Alexander had already rested for some time after returning home, Daisy finally asked a question that made her feel curious.

“Have done.” Alexander nodded lightly. “In this way, we have an alibi and a reason why we should leave the city. Clayton and Tavon have been contacted. Those people won't concern me with certain black traffickers or fugitives.”

“That's very good, Mister!” aster said excitedly.

Seeing her cousin so excited and obedient to Alexander, Daisy shook her head lightly. Although he was also loyal to the young man, he sometimes felt somewhat conflicted as it seemed like they had taken advantage of Aurora, a close friend of Alexander himself.

“When are we leaving, Mister?” ask Daisy.

“Sore this.” Alexander relaxed back.

“Do we have to hurry?” asked Aster with a puzzled expression.

“Not too hasty. But we don't have anything to do here. All the preparations are done, so we better get going. I do not intend to be dragged into trouble in this place,” said Alexander.

“Good!” reply to both at the same time.

That way, the three of them used this afternoon to rest in moderation. By late afternoon, they packed up and left.

Alexander invites the two to report, giving reasons for the move and confirming that the remaining contribution points will be forfeited if they leave. After filling out the form and speaking a few words, the young man took his two servants away from the office.

The three of them went straight to the main gate. All three showed related documents before actually leaving Shelter 13. Officially left the place and did not become its inhabitants.

The process went well. There is absolutely no such thing as a pull-out or anything like that. They all gave the freedom to choose to stay or not. Shelter 13 is also not short of people going in and out. Many come to this place every year.

That means ... what Alexander did was actually plain and inconspicuous.

The reason why Alexander bothered talking to Clayton and Tavon was to give him a special reason so that he was not suspected. Free from this place with no strings attached. It is absolutely impossible to suspect!

After a few hours of travel, Alexander finally asked Daisy and Aster to stop.

Now they are on the border of safe and dangerous territory. Although the main line from one shelter to another is quite safe, but they still need to be careful.

Not to mention, in contrast to Alexander who was a level 2 Hunter, Daisy and Aster who had yet to obtain their miracle root were already somewhat exhausted. It is better to rest overnight to avoid anything unnecessary.

“Honey there are no ghouls around Shelter 13. Need to go somewhere else to look for it,” murmured Aster while setting up a tent with his cousin.

Didn't you say that we'll get it after we get to the next shelter? Be patient. Compared to people who can't even become a hunter apprentice, we are very lucky to be able to become a hunter after following the master for less than a year and a half.”

Hearing Daisy's words, Aster continued to nod like a chicken pecking at rice. He knew he was a little excited. Instead of being ungrateful, the woman simply could not control her excitement. So he chose to listen to Daisy's words.

“Hey! I used to not dare to dream of this kind of thing,” Aster said with a smile on his face.

“Being hunter? Being able to eat once a day and pass the winter quietly was my dream back then,” Daisy replied.

“Ya!” Aster nodded. “Given how difficult it was to get a piece of food back then it made me feel so grateful to follow Mr.”

After speaking of that, the two of them glanced towards Alexander who was sitting cross-legged on the rock while closing their eyes. It seems to be meditating.

The meditation Alexander did was not to absorb qi energy, magic, or anything like that. He did such a thing to calm his mind and body.

Train hard, fight fiercely, eat pills and drink dangerous evolus herbs, even drink black potions to absorb the miracle root. That kind of thing messed up his mind.

If not counterbalancing it with a self-soothing method to temper his emotions and body, Alexander might have gone mad. It even became a humanoid monster that lost its sanity.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Alexander opened his eyes.

“There are uninvited guests.”

Moments after Alexander said that, ten people rushed towards them by forming a net. It seemed to be intentionally besieging the three of them.

At first, Alexander suspected that those who surrounded them were the guards who formed a special team to capture him. But after seeing some random thugs, the 3 level 1 hunters and 7 apprentice hunters made the young man shake his head.

“It seems we didn't miss the news, Boss!”

“Hahaha! Who would have thought we could intercept the famous White Flash,” said the man who appeared to be the boss of the small group.

In the eyes of those people, Alexander was just a level 1 pinnacle rookie who lost his sharpness. While the two beautiful women were just decorations. Their target was also clear, kill Alexander and take the wealth and the two famous beautiful women.

“It seems you don't think of this kind of thing, White Flash!” the middle-aged man shouted while licking his lips.

“...” Alexander tilted his head.

“Before death, I will give you a warning so that I know that this world is more dangerous than you think! Don't be careless in your next life!”

Hearing a lot of nonsense from those people, Alexander let out a long sigh.

“The world is indeed more dangerous than you think and you should not be careless,” said the young man.

After that, Alexander drew out his sword. He then glanced towards Daisy and Aster who were whipping out their swords. Seeing the two seem nervous, the young man gave the order.

“Masing each of you takes care of three hunter apprentices. While the rest ..” Alexander looked up and narrowed his eyes. “Let me take care of it.”

Along with Alexander's orders, the battle begins.

In less than half an hour, everyone on the other side was killed easily.

After the battle, Daisy and Aster continued to vomit with trembling bodies. Although they often saw people freezing to death or starving, they rarely saw scenes so bloody. Moreover, this was the first time they had killed with both their own hands.

After the two spewed out their entrails, Alexander took them away from there.

After putting down his luggage, Alexander looked at the two women sitting with pale faces.

“Are you guys scared?” ask the young man.

“...”

They both did not answer. Both of them obviously did not dare to disappoint Alexander, but also could not lie to him if they did indeed fear.

“It's okay. That is a natural thing.” Alexander said casually. “You will fight and kill more often in the future. Either it's fighting monsters or humans. So, sooner or later you will get used to.”

“...” Both of them nodded in silence.

Alexander approached the two, sat down between them and stroked their heads gently.

Daisy and Aster leaned against Alexander's chest. Feeling the warmth from the young man, they became a little calmer. Moments later, the exhausted and frightened Aster finally fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Daisy is still awake. He glanced at Alexander who stroked their heads. After a moment of hesitation, the woman finally asked.

“Where are we going, Mister?”

Hearing the question, Alexander turned his head towards Daisy with a gentle smile on his face.

“Shelter 11.”
