Apocalypse After

Sharpen Weapons

The night of the next day.

Under the curtain of starlight and the moon, Alexander walked in a circle of five. After several days of not returning, the young man decided to return home.

Arriving at home, Alexander immediately opened the door using a spare key. Just entering the house, the door of the room opened. Three women came out carrying swords in their hands.

Seeing the person who barged into the house was Alexander, the three of them looked relieved.

“It seems that now you are really vigilant,” Alexander said with a friendly smile on his face.

“You've returned Sir!”

Aster hurriedly walked up to Alexander and stood in front of the young man with an excited expression.

In response, Alexander stroked the woman's head gently, making her squint with a happy expression on her face. Daisy also approaches him immediately, but is not too hasty. The woman bowed slightly towards him then spoke softly.

“You have worked very hard Mr.” said Daisy.

The woman then received Alexander's robe and hung it. He nodded again and went to the kitchen. Soon after, he returned with a cup of water.

“Stop creating Aster problems, let the Master rest first.”

Hearing his cousin's remark, Aster who was originally excited immediately nodded obediently. He took Alexander and asked him to sit on a chair, then Daisy gave water to the young man.

After drinking a cup of water, Alexander looked at them and said, “Sorry to disturb your rest.”

“No. You're not at all interrupting, sir. Isn't that right, Daisy?” said Aster.

“Ya.” Daisy nodded. “You are not at all annoying.”

After the atmosphere became a little calmer, Aurora who had been silent had finally spoken up.

“Where have you been all this time Alexander? I asked Daisy and Aster, but they didn't know it. You just left a message and just disappeared.

If not for knowing you well enough, I would have thought you had already escaped to avoid trouble. But I'm sure you've chosen to stay. After all, you won't let go of such a great opportunity.

You are the type of person who is not afraid to face problems as long as the profit is proportional to the risk.”

Aurora's cold speech made the corner of Alexander's lips lift. The young man then said, “Thank you for your praise, but I'm not as good as you think.”

“...”

Aurora was silent. The woman walked over and sat on the chair opposite Alexander. Then he looked towards the young man while waiting for an explanation.

“I can't tell you where I'm going. Obviously, I'm doing a stakeout. In the last few days, I came across some news that might interest you,” Alexander said.

Aurora frowned when she heard Alexander's words. Seeing the playful smile on the cold face of the young man, he could not help but frown. After taking a deep breath, the woman said, “Stop messing around and tell me what news you have got.”

“Is that how someone asks for help?” Alexander tilted his head.

Aurora wanted to be angry from feeling humiliated. He wanted to curse, but could only bite his lips with an annoyed expression. In the end, the woman said, “I beg.”

“Can you repeat? I really don't negate it,” reply Alexander flat.

“ALEXANDER!” aurora said as she gritted her teeth and glared at the young man in front of her.

Seeing Aurora's gloomy expression, Alexander shrugged with a flat expression on his face.

“You two also sit.” Alexander asked Daisy and Aster to sit down. “This is an important thing that you should remember.”

The two women obeyed Alexander's orders. They knew that now their master was no longer fooling around. That means, what he was about to say was indeed quite serious.

I'm sure this news will soon spread and then disappear because there's no further news. Even so, I have to convince you that this news is real. So we all have to make careful preparations.

Not only buying food supplies that could have been scarce, but also honing our skills so that we can survive when a big battle occurs.”

Hearing Alexander's explanation, Daisy and Aster were somewhat confused.

“Anu, may I ask Mister?” ask Aster.

“Say,” reply Alexander flat.

“Isn't that just a mission from the center of the Master? Why can chaos happen?” ask Aster.

“Begini. The people assigned by the supreme leader of the Blood Cross Guild to the border must have something to do with hunting or searching for certain materials. If it is allowed by the higher-ups, it means that the materials taken are valuable materials.

For unknown reasons, the material was not directly brought to Shelter 1, but was brought to Shelter 11 first.

There seems to be no problem, but that doesn't mean there isn't. The thing is, you two underestimate human greed.

If those materials were extremely valuable, there would definitely be people who wanted them. The members of the extended family are members of the Blood Cross and carry out special duties, meaning they will help protect the various things collected. However, would everyone in Shelter 11 be silent? Of course not.

I'm sure that the various free groups that have no connection with Blood Cross will take advantage of this opportunity. They would try every means to obtain those items because the possibilities were extremely precious and could make their strength soar.

At least, that's what they believe.”

Alexander's explanation left Daisy and Aster shocked.

Meanwhile, Aurora instead frowned. He felt that if what Alexander said was true, the battle that would happen was not just on the scale of one or two medium or large groups. Yet a battle was so great that it affected the future of Shelter 11 itself.

“Does that mean we have to leave the 11 Al Shelter?” ask Aurora.

“Why?” alexander asked with a puzzled expression.

“What's coming is really too hard for us to bear. Although it is not an ordinary refugee, apprentice, or a level 1 hunter .. at our current level, it is still difficult to bear the impact of such a big fight.

It could be that we will die if we stay in Shelter 11.”

“You are wrong.” Alexander shook his head.

“What do you mean?” Aurora raised her head with a confused and dissatisfied expression.

“Isn't this a chance?”

Seeing the smile on Alexander's face, Aurora's eyes widened. He understood what the young man meant. However, the woman felt that the idea was too dangerous.

“You've gone mad, Alexander!” aurora said with an expression of disbelief.

“I'm not crazy at all.” Alexander shook his head. “The idea may be a bit rough, but there's no denying it's an opportunity, right?”

“But-“

“No words ‘tapi’, Aurora. If you want to take revenge and end that hatred, this is a very fitting moment because those people will leave Shelter 11.

As long as we can mix with the groups that are conducting the ambush, it is not impossible to remove those people in one fell swoop. However, in order for no accidents to occur, we must prepare ourselves.”

Alexander's expression became heavier than before.

“We will sharpen weapons well. Be sure to be completely ready when the time comes!”
