Apocalypse Regression's

An internship?

After a while, they all made a decision.

The eight women who followed Roxanne chose to stay inside the Dark Caravan. While in Jimmy's group, three of them decided to refuse. Maybe they think Ark's terms are a bit excessive.

Of course Ark wasn't angry because it was their decision. He told me that nothing is free in his group. The Dark Caravan or Sword of Sufferings was not a charitable organization, there was a price to pay.

So in the end, Sword of Sufferings added 17 new members. Nine women and eight men.

Since there was nothing to talk about anymore, they finally decided to return. However, they did not go directly to the headquarters. Instead, they instead went to where usually the Dark Caravan and Silver Cross were trading.

It was a former parking lot. The location is right in front of several shophouses (shop houses) that are quite large.

Getting there, Ark said.

"You are accepted, but I cannot trust you right away. So, I'll give you seven days for the internship.

Your first assignment is ..."

Ark pointed at the building in front of them before continuing.

"Each group must clean one shophouse, one Jimmy group and one Roxanne group. After that, make both shophouses as a place worth living.

I'll give you allotments to eat and drink for a week. Of course, not only do you clean up and stay there, but you also have to practice the basic sword skills that I will teach you.

Roxanne, you and your friends may be quite good at fighting. However, since this is a task, you still have to carry it out.

This internship will take place in seven days. In this time, you must defend yourself and take care of each other. You must be vigilant not only against zombies or beasts, but other fellow humans.

Does anyone mind?"

"No!" say they're in unison.

Rather than objecting, Roxanne looked relieved. Clearly the Dark Caravan looked powerful and mysterious. If they are immediately accepted and taken, women will be suspicious.

Meanwhile, Jimmy could only smile bitterly. On the way to this place, Ark had asked him about the promise that had been made before. The man may not follow this apprenticeship and go to the headquarters, but his friends must stay. In the end, Jimmy chose to stay rather than leave.

Not only because of loyal friends, but the man felt that his relationship with his colleagues might be damaged if only he got special treatment.

"Let's get food and water."

Ark had the members of the Dark Caravan drop off the food and water they were carrying. The number is certainly not too much.

"One week. You can eat twice a day on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. As for the 2nd, 4th, and 6th day you eat once a day."

Ark spoke in an indifferent tone. For those (members of the Sword of Sufferings) who now ate three meals a day, this amount was clearly lacking. But for people who usually eat once a day or even twice a day, this is more than enough.

Not to mention they were new to the internship. As one of the tests, they could not be too pampered.

If it wasn't for Ark ever making a promise to Jimmy and being indebted to Roxanne's father, he'd have them survive without food or water. So, even though it sounds long enough, it's easier than the tests Darin had to do.

"Then I'll see you one week later."

Ark said in a monotone voice. But the seventeen replied in unison.

"YES!!!" say them simultaneously.

Just then, Darin got off the coachman's seat. He walked straight to Jimmy. Meanwhile, Lisa also ran towards Roxanne. Both seem to have the same intention.

"Jimmy, right?" darin said casually.

"Yes? Is something wrong ... Charon?" asked Jimmy with a puzzled expression.

"I know you're a spear user, so I'll lend you this."

Darin gave his spear to Jimmy.

"Compared to the rusty iron rods that you made weapons, at least this spear is better.

The chairman said, well-maintained weapons are good partners and can help you in a fight. So please take good care.

I hope you succeed and can protect your comrades."

After saying that, Darin left.

"Thank you very much!"

Jimmy bowed while shouting with a sincere expression.

Meanwhile, Lisa who gave her sword to Roxanne was encouraging.

"Let's meet one week later! Take care of your health and do not lose your guard! I'll wait for you!"

When Lisa said cheerfully, Roxanne hugged her while saying.

"Thank you very much, The Legendary Shadow Tamer."

Lisa herself was silent. Standing in place with an empty expression. A moment later, he waved with a stiff movement before leaving while continuing to mutter.

"Tomorrow ... Stuff ... Stuff ... It's tight and it's hard to breathe."

Arriving near the Ark, he looked up and said in a stern tone.

"Let's prioritize looking for a papaya tree or mutated type of papaya, Chief!"

Glancing at Lisa, Ark said.

"Is there something wrong with your head, Little Girl?"

Without waiting for Ark to reject her, the girl immediately jumped up and wrapped her hands around the young man's neck from behind. Carrying while constantly complaining about looking for papaya trees, as rumors say ... papaya juice can raise "it".

Ark and his team leave, leaving two small groups led by Jimmy and Roxanne to run their internships.

***

One day later, Ark and his comrades finally arrived at the headquarters.

There, they were immediately greeted by Jay and the other members of the Sword of Sufferings.

Nathan and Nala seem excited when they see Ark coming back. Abigail and Natasha looked relieved when they saw the young man.

Old Franky was also relieved when he saw that his grandson was fine. Shani immediately approached and hugged Darin. Looks like a satisfied wife when her husband returns.

Jay stared blankly for a moment. He tilted his head with a doubtful expression.

"Are you really going on an expedition?"

"What do you mean, Jay?" said Ark flat.

"I mean .. You guys look fine. Yeah, not that I want you guys to get fucked or anything. However, only bringing a few mutated plants?

Isn't that the same as what we've been doing all this time?"

Ark was silent for a moment. Taking a deep breath, the young man replied.

"Then what are you thinking? We go against the dragon and come back heroically or something?"

"It's not. It's just, shouldn't you bring more booty from animals to make as weapons?"

"Of course there is. Follow me."

Hearing Ark's words, Jay looked excited like the boy who had finally bought the toy. However, that excited expression did not last long.

"What the fuck? Why are you carrying so many insect heads? Is this useful?

Where's my giant snake tail or mutated elephant tusks? Shouldn't you bring me a surprise gift like materials to make weapons for me?"

"Your imagination is too high, son."

"..."

Ark's words immediately made Jay's hopes dashed.

Just then, Ark brought a bundle of leaves and opened it. Two red horns that looked quite sharp and beautiful appeared before the eyes of the people. Makes them a little surprised.

Jay who was lethargic became excited.

"This will be my weapon?! The domineering red sword?!

I know you won't forget your best friend, man! I'm really moved."

Jay wiped the corner of his eye. He seemed excited and very excited.

"You're a one-handed sword user while this is suitable to use as material to make a short blade sword. So this isn't for you.

Once completed, the result will be Stacy's."

Hearing Ark's words, Jay was dumbfounded.

"IT'S NOT MINE?!"

Jay and Lisa scream in unison. Jay was upset about being played. Meanwhile, Lisa who already knew that two horns would be made as a short sword did not expect that the weapon was not given to her.

Not only them, but everyone including Stacy was shocked as well.

It was truly unexpected that the weapon would fall into the hands of people they had not expected!
