Apocalypse Regression's
Gather and Prepare for War
Two days passed quickly.
At the Sword of Suffering headquarters, many people seemed to be very busy preparing supplies for the long-term battle. Not only for those who depart, but also those who survive in the headquarters.
In the previous month, the Sword of Sufferings had added quite a number of new members. Currently, the total members of the group are approximately 350 people. In this mission, Ark plans to bring 150 people consisting of 125 soldiers and 25 workers. The number is quite a lot because until now usually the group moves with a limited number. At most a hundred people.
At the lab site, Old Franky was wearing a lab coat. But his appearance was very unsuitable because his body was currently stocky and full of muscles. The impression of an intelligent scientist as well as a writer had vanished from the figure of the old man.
“You really want to kill the three of us, Boy!”
Looking towards the Ark, Old Franky really felt annoyed. He and the two others had to make over a thousand doses of potions per person within the allotted time. The potion was clearly used as a stock of soldiers. Although the dosage has been diluted almost five times, but the cost of making many of these herbs is not cheap.
Arguably, the Sword of Sufferings would bleed a lot because of this mission. Of course, it was also not without advantages. The reason is simple: 50% of the total materials obtained from this war will go into their storage warehouse. The Silver Cross and Black Panther earned 20% each%. That amount was already a lot because they did not incur much cost except labor.
While the rest will be divided by other groups and communities, either to be made into equipment or resold.
“Come on, Old Franky. I also work and not only rule. I prepared more potions than the three of you.”
Ark said with a relaxed expression on his face. The young man himself also made many undiluted potions for the Sword of Sufferings members to use. Not only was Ark stingy, but the reason why he had Old Franky dilute the dosage was the lack of the amount of ingredients. Yep. Despite already making large-scale agriculture, the materials still could not be used to supply the remaining surfers in the city. So, even if Ark was not stingy, he could not make potions in normal doses.
“Don't compare us to monsters like you, Boy.”
Despite still saying roughly, it seemed Old Franky's expression became softer. The man seemed to be quite satisfied with Ark's increasingly kind attitude towards people. Despite not knowing the intentions of the young man, as a normal scientist, he himself also wanted to save more lives.
“Don't call me a monster, Old Man. If I am a monster, everyone in this Sword of Suferrings is also a monster.”
“Hahaha! Then you are the king of monsters,” Old Franky said with a smile on his face.
“We just rely on all kinds of ways to survive, okay? Within us, we are still human. After all, if the world gets more chaotic and mutations become more and more, what can ordinary humans do? They will just rush away to their own death.”
“Enough! I don't want to discuss the heavy topic after work fatigue, boy! By the way, when are you going to leave?”
“You must have fallen asleep during the meeting. Does a creature like you still deserve to be the top of this group, Old Man?”
“I fell asleep because most work, boy! Don't equate me with a filthy, disgusting creature who sleeps at state meetings because of a glut or comes out with his stash the night before meetings!”
Seeing Old Franky's gloomy expression, Ark smiled. He then said in a relaxed tone.
“We'll be gone tomorrow morning. Everyone will gather at Silver Cross headquarters first”
“Are you not going to go directly out of town?” Old Franky raised his eyebrows.
“No. We plan to clear the city in advance for four to five days before exiting the city and tracking the location of the nest. You must know, if I go first, those people will cause trouble when I'm not around.
It really sucks, but I still have to do it.”
Ark took a long breath. If told to choose, he obviously preferred to clean up those people first directly. Julian and Joseph were definitely against his idea. So the young man could only take a stratagem in order to send those people off to the next realm in this mission.
“Is that thing ready?”
Hearing Ark's words, Old Franky was slightly surprised. But he immediately shook his head.
“Not yet. It takes a lot of time to do it. Maybe just finished the middle of the third month or even the beginning of summer.”
As if he had expected that, Ark nodded lightly. There is absolutely no objection to the old process that needs to be done.

The next day, in the front yard of Silver Cross headquarters.
“See, the Sword of Sufferings.”
“Hey, isn't that Mad-Girl? I heard he beat up dozens of people in front of Silver Cross.” headquarters
“Is that considered crazy? You may not have heard of Mad-Man. He challenged a hundred people directly. Although in the end it only gathered forty people, but the man actually destroyed them directly. Really strong, but also crazy!”
“…”
Hearing the whispers of the people, the corner of Ark's lips twitched. Of course he got the information after Vadim and Stacy came back. Only, the young man could not change what had happened. If they are considered crazy, let them be considered crazy. After all, brave, stupid, and crazy are only separated by a thin line. Ark pretended not to listen to the whispers of the people, only glancing towards Jay and Lisa who turned their eyes away while pretending not to know.
“You've finally arrived, Hades.”
Hearing that, Ark looked slightly surprised. Upon turning his head, he saw Joseph sitting in an old wheelchair and being pushed by Siegfried coming towards him.
“It appears that you chose to intervene, Mr. Joseph.”
“Of course. After all, this is no longer a personal matter. We must unite forces to protect the city.”
“More precisely, get rid of some ants that appear in the city.” Ark corrected in a flat tone.
Joseph immediately put on a bitter expression after hearing Ark's remark. What the young man said was indeed true because indirectly they had indeed failed to protect the city from invasion. So what they are doing right now is cleaning.
You could say, what these guys did was clean up and then try to counterattack.
Joseph suddenly remembered something. He glanced at Ark then asked, “Have you really prepared all those potions?”
“Not only have set up ..”
Ark said in a lazy tone.
“We have brought and are ready to share it.”
