'What a bad memory.'
Fight three days and three nights without resting in the rain. It was probably the longest one-on-one fight that Ark had fought in his previous life.
Ark stared at the figure of the plain young man who appeared in front of him. At that moment, a thought appeared in his mind.
'Rather than making a fuss in the future, should I kill this young man earlier?'
As for the thought of obtaining it, Ark completely brushed it off.
Siegfried may seem stupid and easy to control. But his mind was too fragile. He can be broken and mess up a lot of things easily.
Siegfried is similar to a bomb that can explode at any time.
Taking him is not a wise choice.
Unless Ark is brave enough and has many layers of strategy, or he can control Siegfried's life.
It's just that, both of them are very difficult to do at once troublesome. For Ark who lacked the time and manpower to run things, killing Siegfried was a good solution rather than saving it.
If possible, Ark would like to gather all the talented people in his city.
Perhaps many people will find the idea too greedy. Thinking his life would no longer be interesting as it no longer had a rival that would fight him. Just relying on his subordinates to continue advancing.
Merely, Ark did not care about such thoughts at all. Instead, he had the goal of gathering all talent to create a strong human protection base!
Although it looked calm on the surface, many monsters were hiding in the shadows. Places like city parks, zoos, giant aquariums, city hospitals, and some places in the city are red zones.
Not to mention there were monstrous creatures entrenched outside the city. Some other cities may have already fallen and the humans living there had been annihilated.
Ark would not let go of the opportunity when he returned to this time just for the reason that his life ended up boring when he had no opponents. Letting go of talented people on purpose just because he wants a surprise in the future. Even though he and the people in this city are growing faster, that does not mean it happens in every other city.
The total human population in a city is compared to the world. It's nothing!
Making the humans survive was Ark's main goal, and that was what the young man was trying to keep fighting for. But he knew that he could not take all the talent in his grasp.
Everyone has their own thoughts. They cannot be controlled like puppets. That was also the reason for only choosing people who had a bit of similar thoughts to him. So after being slightly deflected, they could be on the same path as the Ark.
"You scared Siegfried, Mr. Hades."
Joseph's words made Ark wake up from his daydream. The young man shook his head. With his two little hands, it was too early to think about how to unite the city let alone save humanity.
Ark glanced back at Siegfried before letting out a long sigh.
"Remember to protect Joseph. He's the benefactor who helped you, isn't he?"
"Eh???"
Siegfried was confused. How not? Previously Ark continued to look at him with a cold gaze. After that, he said such a random thing. It really made Siegfried's brain confused as to how to respond.
"Well, Mr. Hades!" said Siegfried with a stuttering and awkward tone.
Meanwhile, Joseph also said in a bitter tone.
"Can you stop doing that kind of thing, Mr Hades? For some reason, it feels like you're cursing that I'll be stabbed to death or have an accident."
"I'm just reminding."
Ark said indifferently, shrugging his shoulders casually. After a while, he suddenly said.
"By the way, you don't have to worry about personnel carrying food and water supplies.
This time I didn't sell so much. Some people have enough to take him."
"I know you're mad at Thomas, Mr. Hades. But you can't do this kind of thing, can you?
I mean, it's affected so much the lives of so many people in our base."
"Summer season." Ark said briefly.
It may be just a short sentence, but it has a lot of meaning for those who understand.
Joseph clearly understood what Ark meant. The middle-aged man felt that it was all natural. Even if the Dark Caravan was powerful, but they also had to face many problems caused by nature.
"When you say this, I remember one of the tasks given by the Chairman. Actually I don't want to say it because you will most likely reject it. Yet seeing the Dark Caravan having enough difficulty right now, it seemed that there was still hope.
Mr. Hades ... Black Panther wants to hire your services to assist in the raid mission where the Imperial Tiger supplies."
Ark raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that Joseph actually offered him such a great job.
"So you haven't attacked the dry corn storage in the basement? It's been a week, but you're not moving?"
"It's not that we don't want to move." Joseph put a wry smile on his face. "But after we made plans and started to monitor the location, a lot of personnel were guarding it. That means news leaked. You know what I mean, don't you?"
"Traitor." Ark snorted coldly.
It was one of the words he hated most in his entire life. The young man knew that such a thing was actually natural in this chaotic world. Still, he hates it.
"That's why we want to hire your services. Thus, the chances of the mission succeeding definitely increased to over 50%."
Ark raised his eyebrows.
"Even if you use cannon-feed tactics?"
"Yes. Even if you use that tactic."
Cannon bait tactics. Provoke the masses, angering them and attacking the storage site. Those starving and dying people no longer care about their lives. With provocation, they would become crazy enough and dare to risk their lives for food.
It might sound cruel, but it was also arguably an opportunity. If they don't do it, they'll starve to death. If they did, perhaps they would die in a confrontation, but there was also a chance of them surviving. Back with a little food to keep alive.
Gazing towards Joseph, Ark said in a lazy tone.
"It seems that Black Panther is still too soft. That kind of person (traitor) really can still go in and sink in so deeply."
"I am also helpless. Who wants this kind of thing to happen?" joseph said with a tired expression.
"Stay away. I can't accept this request."
Seeing Joseph's expression change, Ark interrupted.
"Don't rush to conclude. There's a reasonable reason why I didn't.
First, we are not so short of food and water. Besides, we can still sell to you. That means we're not in trouble.
Second, the price you gave me must not satisfy me. After all, in order to deal with the Imperial Tiger, I need a lot of pay. You might agree, but the other elders will oppose you.
Lastly, I have no interest in dealing with the Imperial Tiger yet. I'm in no hurry to deal with them now. That's because ..."
Ark's eyes narrowed.
"There's more important things I have to do."
