Apocalypse After

Depends On Luck

Before dawn, where the sky was still dark but white had enveloped the world.

“Do you have no intention of leaving this place, V?”

In addition to making transactions with Yona, Alexander also made a last transaction with Gery. However, unlike the woman or herself who will stay, it seems that Gery intends to leave Shelter 11.

“You go?” alexander asked in surprise.

“If not?” gery replied with a wry smile on his face.

“If you want to go, you should have done it earlier. You can advance the transaction time so that it does not need to be delayed,” said Alexander.

“Not you know for yourself, the news comes two days before winter. Even if you leave one day sooner it won't make any difference.” Gery took a long breath.

When he heard that, Alexander knew that Gery's words had a point. Even if the man left one day early, he would still meet snowfall on the way as it would not only take a day or two to arrive to the other Shelter.

“Why don't you stay and wait for the storm to subside?” advice Alexander.

“I'm not young anymore. What happened this time was definitely not a trivial matter. An old man like me already couldn't get through such reckless and feisty days. My old bone is no longer strong holding it back, so better go and find a quiet place to retire.” Gery shrugged his shoulders.

Actually Gery is not too old, but the man no longer seems to have big ambitions. He would rather spend his time leisurely and do things that are not troublesome.

“Where will you go?” ask Alexander.

“The clear to the nearest middle-level shelter. According to what I saw, the high-level shelter and the headquarters no longer seemed to calm down. Better stay away from the source of the disaster.” Gery looked at Alexander. “You should choose to stay, right?”

“Ya.” Alexander nodded. “I won't go because there's work to be done.”

“Then you have to be careful,” said Gery.

“I won't mess with my own life,” reply Alexander flat.

“Then I can only hope luck will accompany you.”

Alexander nodded. Gazing towards Gery, he said calmly.

“I also hope luck will be with you, Gery.”

That way, they split up.

Alexander looked towards Gery who disappeared in the distance then glanced towards the materials he exchanged. Although the breakup with a friend was unpleasant, he suppressed unnecessary emotions.

Splitting up does not mean they are hostile. Each individual has their own thoughts, and they have their own goals. Meeting and parting in the course of pursuing each other's goals is common.

After calming down, Alexander let out a long sigh. His expression gradually became more serious.

‘With this, all the necessary materials have been collected. The problem is ..’

‘Not much time left.’

‘I hope the time is still enough.’

In the afternoon, at Alexander's residence.

Yesterday Alexander had said goodbye to Boris to go out for fun and not come home in two or three days, so he planned to stay home to process all the herbs, pills, ointments, and more. Really want to use this narrow time to do what can be done.

What Alexander was doing now was treating his body.

Just like when he took poison pills in excessive doses, the effects of blood and muscle pills also affected his body. Not to mention, the young man increased the speed of the consumption of the pill and the consumption of the evolution potion.

In contrast to the appearance when taking poison pills that made him look pale and would fall down at any time, these pills had a different effect.

Blood pills helped blood circulation faster, did rapid regeneration, condensed the muscles in his body so that it had a stronger physique compared to before.

The negative effects were of course excessive pain all over his body at all times. Sure, such a ‘bia’ effect does not affect Alexander who is used to it. However, there are other effects as well.

Because of the muscle compaction that is too rushed, sometimes there is a mistake where some parts of the body will become too hard. Hard on the skin and the muscle parts underneath that will eventually crack like dry soil. At its peak, the crack would rupture and bleed a lot. So it must be treated immediately.

Alexander sat on the bed while Aurora sat behind him. The woman cleaned her wounds, applied ointment, and helped the young man close his wounds. Use a soft silk cloth to close and tie it in place of a bandage.

“Actually what kind of exercise do you do? Why does your body have such terrible injuries?” aurora asked in a flat tone, but could not hide the worry in her eyes.

“Nothing. This is just a small side effect of special exercises, no need to think too much about.”

“...”

Looking at Alexander who was still putting on a flat expression as if he did not feel any pain in his body, Aurora shook her head. He was indeed worried, but could do nothing as the young man made an invisible wall to confine himself so that others could not approach him.

“Is the hiding place already settled?” ask Alexander.

“Already.” Aurora nodded with a serious expression.

“Then move all the ingredients, ingredients, and other things to that place as long as there is still time.” Alexander gave the order.

“Are we going to leave Shelter 11?” ask Aurora.

“After the mess happened, we can't go back to Shelter 11. It would be nice to be prepared to prevent something unwanted,” replied Alexander.

In recent months, Alexander invited the three women to create a hiding place outside Shelter 11. The place was far from the main road, was in an arid place with nothing to look for there, dug deep enough and well hidden so it was very difficult to find.

Alexander intended to move all his wealth there. He did so in order not to be deterred if he had to escape from Shelter 11 and go elsewhere. The experience of leaving quite a lot behind in Shelter 13 and selling at a loss made him think of a similar but more dangerous situation.

Just like a rabbit, Alexander did not want to make just one hole, but several holes in order to escape even if one or two holes were closed.

“Omong-by the way, in this winter maybe I come back less often. Because the snow is thick enough, sometimes down and sometimes not, footprints can be left behind so there is a possibility of being detected.

To avoid unnecessary things, I would only go home at night where it was raining or blizzard. Evening training will be stopped, but you still do the exercises in the backyard every day.”

Hearing Alexander's words, Aurora nodded. With a curious expression on her face, the woman asked, “Do you think ... is it better for those people to come soon or be a bit late?”

“Of course it's slower because we can get more time. If other news had not come in two months, it would have been for the best. However, it was just my delusion.

We have prepared ourselves, and that is enough. Whereas when will chaos occur ..”

Staring at the snow falling outside the window, Alexander's eyes narrowed.

“It depends on luck.”
