Apocalypse Regression's

Isn't That Interesting?

One week later.

A black chariot drawn by a mutated husky drove slowly. Behind him, there were thirty-five people walking in rows.

In the coachman's place, there was the figure of Darin sitting quietly. Inside the carriage, there were three people and some items. They are Yonas, Draco, and Leon.

Those people were the new members of the Sword of Sufferings. According to the setting of the Ark, they were required to follow the mission. Let them do hands-on exercises to speed up the learning process.

"You've finally arrived."

Not far in front of them, the figure of Ark sitting on Finn's back said casually.

The young man headed to the location first to check on the situation. Not only Ark and Finn, of course Huginn and Muninn followed them as well.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Chief."

Darin said in a polite tone.

"Hows it? Was there no accident?" ask Ark.

"No." Darin shook his head. "Although exhausted from not getting used to it, nothing fell down. No one's trying to escape either."

"Hehehehe~ That was very disappointing, Chairman!"

Leon's voice sounded from inside the carriage. Hearing his words, Darin frowned. As the person that Ark believed in, the young man was clearly not a fool.

Darin finds out Ark's intentions of bringing in new people. He tried to test their loyalty. That's why Draco and Leon are coming.

If anyone tried to escape or anything like that, that person would immediately be chased and killed. Treated to warn other members not to mess around. You could say, kill a chicken to scare a monkey. Yes ... or things like that.

Of course, Darin was feeling a bit unhappy. As a teacher, he did not want his student to betray and be killed. Therefore, what the young man could do was simply make the new members adapt immediately. Asking them to regard the Sword of Sufferings as their home and the other members as family.

Due to Leon's loud speech, the thirty-five people behind also heard him. Right then, they felt somewhat horrified, but also felt relieved.

Horrified for fear of being killed, and relieved to have entered into a strong group that was firm and reliable.

Although it was only one week, a major change had occurred to those people. They are no longer cowards, weaklings, and parasites that rely too much on others.

Those people had learned to fight for themselves, learned to work to support themselves, and did not continue to develop themselves in the Sword of Sufferings.

Ark jumped down from Finn's back. He then approached the complete line behind the carriage with a flat gaze.

"You know our purpose, right? You ..." Ark pointed at people randomly. "Where are we going?"

"Garden, Chief!"

"You ..." Ark pointed at someone else. "What are we gonna do?"

"Doing a mission to reduce the number of giant silkworms, Chief!"

Hearing that, Ark nodded.

"We came here to do a mission. However, we must not be careless. Especially you, new members.

Don't fall asleep to the little power you just gained. Stay focused, because this fight is not a home game. If you fail, you can die.

Do you guys understand?"

"YES, SIR!!!" answer them in unison.

"Our goal is less than a kilometer. From now on, you should prepare yourself as there are some mutated beasts coming out of the park area of the city.

Our job is to hunt in the surrounding area first. After that, we will enter the outer circle of the city park.

Again I remind you, be careful, follow orders, do not run around recklessly, and do not be easily tempted even if you see something that may be valuable.

Then ... get ready to fight!"

"YES, SIR!!!" yell them in unison.

Afterwards, Ark asked Darin to split the team and lead them. Let them start hunting in the surrounding area with a team of five.

***

In the afternoon, on the outskirts of the city park.

After fighting all day, everyone gathered again. Except for the four people Darin, Yonas, Draco, and Leon.

The enemies they faced were not many. But due to the constant fighting, they were still exhausted physically as well as mentally.

"Look! Isn't that a member of the Sword of Sufferings Group?"

"Seeing from the mutated wolves and chariots, it should have been them. But looking at that line, it seems that they are not so strong."

"I think they're new members. Probably brought out to do training in the field directly."

"As expected of the strongest group."

"..."

Several people who were also on the outskirts of the city park spoke to each other when they saw the arrival of the Sword of Sufferings members. Some of them are not from large groups. They are not strong either. But they are brave people.

The reason they are called brave is the thing they do to survive.

These people went to the city park, went inside to look for some valuable plants to sell. They were not strong, but dared to risk their lives in order to make a living. So their courage deserves a thumbs up.

Just then, a white figure shot towards the Sword of Sufferings group and stood in front of them.

Looking at Ark riding on the figure of a white wolf, the people looked surprised and astonished. They also seemed excited to have seen the man who was considered the strongest person in the city.

Hades!

"How, Chairman? Did you find something that interested you?" ask Darin who approached Ark.

"Indeed." Ark nodded lightly. "It's not just the overpopulation of giant silkworms, there's a case I'm interested in."

Hearing Ark's words, not only Darin, but Yonas, Draco, and Leon also became more serious. They listen carefully for fear of losing important information.

"There are some missing people. Yes ... more precisely dead."

"..."

Ark's words clearly made Darin, Yonas, Draco and Leon look at each other. Hearing the word death and the city park, it was truly a matter of course. So they felt a bit strange because Ark was suddenly interested.

"Indeed death in city parks is not at all uncommon. Not only is it not rare, but it is often. But ... There's something interesting this time." Ark said with a mysterious tone.

"Can't you stop hanging like that, Chief?" asked Darin before taking a deep breath.

"What I'm a little interested in is ..." Ark smile. "People die in a certain pattern."

"Pattern?" ask the four men in unison.

"The location of death is different, but the time is almost the same. Not only the timing of the attacks, but each attack also had a nearly similar time-range.

Obviously, this is done by the same creature."

Seeing that the four were unsure, Ark took out something from under his cloak and threw it towards the four.

They caught what Ark threw and saw it. After a while, they were surprised.

"This ... scales?"

Hearing that, Ark smiled behind his mask.

"Sheets are the same in different locations. A pretty sneaky and dangerous killer.

Isn't that interesting?"
