Apocalypse Regression's

Excessive Amount

In the afternoon, Ark and his army resting in a nearby building saw the arrival of two other troops from the opposite direction.

In contrast to their previous appearance, heavy expressions appeared on the faces of those people. Although not so visible, but their number is also reduced. Some of them were also seriously injured.

Meanwhile, Ark and his own army performed better. Other than the difference in strength, it could happen because they were all more united. Of course, there were still some injured, but none were so severe or had to die. In fact, those people were now lying down leisurely to rest their bodies and minds while waiting for the arrival of the other two troops.

Seeing the ugly expressions of Joseph and Julian in the distance, it was clear they had not only lost people, but had also gotten into trouble. Ark muttered softly with a voice that only he and the people behind him could hear.

“Remember, after getting out of town, do what I said before.”

The people behind the Ark, the Sword of Sufferings higher-ups who were participating in the battle nodded with serious expressions on their faces.

“Finally you arrived. Tell them to rest, you also rest first. We can talk about the rest later.”

Joseph and Julian were slightly surprised by Ark's hospitality. They then nodded calmly, choosing to follow what the young man said. After all, right now they were all extremely exhausted as well.

Time flowed slowly, night finally arrived.

With a huge bonfire lighting up the dark of the night, people ate together. Most of them looked tired and quite desperate. It seemed to have lost their spirit to fight.

In a place quite far away from the crowd, the three leaders gathered together.

“It looks like you're okay, Hades?” julian asked with a bitter smile on his face.

“That's.” Ark answered flatly. “What happened?”

“...” Julian is silent.

“As usual, frightened people make a mess, casualties become more than expected because of it.” Joseph chose to explain.

“You must punish them,” Ark said.

“We've done it. But everything was in vain because fear seemed to have taken root in their hearts.” Joseph shook his head.

“Then remove that root by force. Send them to the line closest to death, make sure they can't back down. Let them choose in desperation, either dead or fighting.” Ark explained in an indifferent tone.

“I've thought about it too. It's just that, in such a way, I'm afraid there will be too many casualties.”

“Many victims died? Then be it.” Ark replied indifferently. “If they don't fight or develop themselves, those people will eventually also die. So it is better to use the opportunity to choose people who deserve to be developed.”

Hearing Ark's ruthless method of refining talent, the two of them were at a loss for words. But then Julian remembered something.

“It seems your team did well? Are the victims very few?” ask Julian.

“Nol.”

“Hah?!” Julian and Joseph were shocked.

“You ... you choose to protect them?” julian asked with a surprised expression.

“More or less like that,” said Ark casually.

“Huh ..” Julian took a deep breath. “I didn't expect that you also have a soft side like this, Hades.”

If the Ark forces heard what their leader said, those people would have already been furious. They remember it clearly. Rather than protecting, it felt like Ark was actually pushing them to the edge to fight with those monsters as if it was intentionally asking them to die. Added with toxic words like shrimp brain, stray duck, turtle foot, and so on. they are obviously ‘very dear’ by Ark. Unfortunately, they are almost equated with the weaknesses of various animals.

“Do we really have to do it, Hades?” ask Joseph.

“Do you want to move and leave the city, Joseph?” Instead of answering, Ark asked.

“Of course not!” firmly Joseph.

“Then the answer is to have to do it!” said Ark.

“Can't we postpone it, Hades?” ask Julian.

“Why?”

“Because it makes us even more lost. While humans would be reduced bit by bit by having to fight against many other creatures, the ants not only did not decrease. Instead, they will grow more with a quick time.

If we miss the chance, the entire city could have been annihilated by an army of mutated ants.”

Imagining such a scene, Julian and Joseph instantly inhaled a cold breath. They really did not expect, ants, creatures that were previously considered trivial can really be a very terrible terror in this apocalypse time.

“Then it's decided!” julian said with a stern expression.

Ark and Joseph nodded. Even if they are reluctant, but they do have to.

Next day.

After breakfast, everyone immediately lined up neatly. Led by each leader, three troops made their way out of the city.

Arriving there, they were all immediately greeted by a very shocking sight. Not far outside the city, they all saw many trees and grasses being cleaned. They could even see a straight path into the distance

For people who had a great distance of sight after absorbing the miracle root, they could see that at the end of the forest, there was a desert with yellow sand after the forest. At that moment, they realized that the world was becoming more and more abnormal. It feels like every city is separated from each other, the cracks are then patched with strange terrain such as forests, even now there is also a desert.

“The world is really crazy,” said one of the members of Sword of Sufferings.

Not only himself, but everyone who could see the scenery in the distance also had the same thought.

Just then, a shrill voice rang out, instantly waking the people from their daydreams.

The originally desolate dirt road began to be crowded with ants. The ants came out of the forest one by one, turned into tens, and in an instant into hundreds. It all did not stop even when the number of ants that appeared became over a thousand. Not to mention, other than the small and large worker ants, the ant knights also began to appear.

Two grand? Three grand? Only then showed signs of slowing down, seemingly almost stopping.

“Are we really going to fight with them?

The question was like a rock falling into a calm lake. Directly make a ripple in every person's heart. However, before they fell into a sense of despair, a voice so relaxed and calm sounded.

“There is no way to return.”

“If you guys stop here and run away, the result is still the same ... because you will die.”

“Number of ants continues to grow and will not stop if not destroyed.”

“This city is my home, and here I will continue to be. If the answer is both death, then I would rather die fighting for my home than die miserably as a coward.

Many numbers? Thenwhat? Aren't we a lot too?”

“I'm ready to die in this battle. So ... How about you guys?”

Hearing that question, the eyes of the people turned red. They held the weapons in their hands tightly. Those people gritted their teeth, completely not intending to retreat and flee again.

Seeing the expressions of the people, Ark spoke again.

“You don't need to answer it. I know what you're feeling. I know the pain and heat burning in there, so ..”

SWOOSH!

Ark mucked his sword. His expression became colder, even louder than usual.

“ RAISE YOUR HEAD AND HOLD TIGHTLY YOUR WEAPON, MY COMRADE PARTNER. TODAY ...”

“I FIGHT AND KEEP FIGHTING WITH YOU.”
