Three days later.
Everyone in town seems busy. While the Sword of Sufferings were still guarding its territory, Black Panther chose to move to the new seat of government. Taking the building not far from Silver Cross headquarters.
In these three days, they were all very busy. In addition to preparing various needs for the people who were about to leave, many craftsmen in the two groups were taught by Ark to make a fairly good level one weapon complete with a shield. You could say they were all very busy.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people who could not fight were sent to the border of the city where the ants had previously appeared. Not told to guard, but they were given the task of digging. A hundred level two warriors were sent by the Sword of Sufferings to help them.
The battle-hardened troops of the Silver Cross and Black Panther were tasked to hunt and continuously clean up the monsters around the central headquarters area. Whether it was a zombie or a mutated savage beast, with the help of some small team of Sword of Sufferings, they were able to overcome it.
In addition, there is also a team assigned to collect oil from various cars and oil storage. The oil is then transported on a train pulled by Debby and the huskies mutating. In a way, their lives become busier, but also seem more meaningful than ever before where they just feel hopeless, complaining, and waiting for death.
During this time, Ark was also very busy. He continued moving from the Sword of Sufferings headquarters then went to the Silver Cross headquarters, going back and forth to take care of things.
In the Silver Cross meeting room, six people regrouped.
“Is there a problem?” ask Ark straight to the point.
“In the manufacture of traps and oil collection goes smoothly, Kak.” Lisa answered immediately.
“Swielding and shielding also goes very smoothly, immediate needs are met.” Joseph said casually.
“The area around the headquarters has also been cleaned,” added Siegfried.
“Help for the people who are about to move has been prepared, but ..” Julian's expression becomes rather serious. “There is a little problem.”
“Say, Julian. What's up?” ask Ark.
“Since the invasion of the mutated ants before, the zombies became unstable. Today, the zombies are making a lot of trouble, especially those who are coming out of hospitals and stadiums. Not only were they numerous, but the number of special types had also sprung up. So sending people through the area is obviously dangerous.”
Hearing Julian's explanation, everyone's expressions instantly became solemn. Although they all did not pay much attention to zombies, but that does not mean that the creature is not a problem. Instead, they were also one of the enemies that were difficult to deal with.
“Then let me take care of it.”
A loud and somewhat careless voice sounded. The office door opened, then Jay's figure entered the room.
“You are ..”
Joseph surprised. He did not expect that anyone would suddenly enter. But the man didn't stop Jay from knowing him at all. After all, it was the man that Ark had appointed to make the announcement. So, Joseph simply turned his gaze toward the Ark.
“What are you doing here, Jay? You've been cured?” Ark looked surprised.
“If I don't go, I should definitely sleep outside the house.” Jay said in an awkward tone.
Hearing that, everyone immediately became confused. Meanwhile, Ark was instantly conscious. Unlike Shirona and Kurona who are level three, Jay himself is level four. Not to mention, he had absorbed the miracle root.
Clearly, Mona finds out that Jay has finally made a full recovery and banishes him from the house. Arguably, the man did not even have a chance to relax a few days after his recovery. Directly asked to advance to the front row by his own wife. Even if it was for the sake of the Sword of Sufferings, it would still be rather cruel.
“He is my best friend and representative of Sword of Sufferings, Jay. Some of you must know him. Besides me, he is the strongest in our group.”
“Yes. Although hate to admit it, but what Brother said is true.” Lisa said in an unhappy tone.
Ignoring Lisa, Ark instead focused on Jay and asked in a serious tone.
“Do you really want to do it, Jay? Ye know? This should be done seriously without messing around.”
Ark immediately glanced at Julian and Joseph for wanting to know their opinions. As an alliance, though he has an idea, but Ark realizes he cannot win by himself. Everything needs deliberation too.
Understanding what Ark meant, Joseph and Julian looked at each other. Not to mention, they were all aware of the Ark and Sword of Sufferings abilities. So Joseph finally spoke.
“If Jay seriously wants to do it and is able to do it, Black Panther has no opinion.”
“Silver Cross also has no opinion.”
Ark nodded lightly before looking towards Jay. The young man then immediately said in a serious tone.
“Then I will approve your request. Remember, your mission is to kill as many as you can without having to rush to their lair. Just hit them until they retreat to the nest, don't let them out and make more mess.”
“Understanding!” jay was firm.
With the addition of Jay, various tasks can finally run more smoothly. Once again, time again passed like water flowing quietly.
Next day.
Today had been the tenth day since Ark and the other three people fought against the Ant King. Although not for long, but on the human side, they had prepared many things for countermeasures. It was just that ... everything became a bit strange as there were absolutely no mutated ants coming to the city.
After making arrangements, Ark then returned to the Sword of Sufferings headquarters. He intends to let Natasha take over the headquarters in full and prepare for survival mode as he will go straight to the front line with the people he has chosen.
In Kurona and Shirona's room.
The two girls sat on the bed with better expressions. Although their bodies had recovered, but both of them still needed time to adapt, so Ark did not allow them to join the war. Both of them clearly seem reluctant, especially when it comes to knowing what kind of creature Ark the opponent will be.
Jay was also determined to join, but Ark asked him to guard the rearguard so that the zombies and beasts would not interfere. So, in the end it was already concluded that he would fight the Ant King himself.
“Then promise us, Senior.” Kurona said with a stern expression.
“Yes! Promise us, Senior.” Shirona added.
“Ppromise us that you will come back alive!” say they're in unison.
At first Ark was stunned. He then saw determination in the eyes of the two of them. The young man could see that the two really did not want to lose the one figure that they had considered a family.
Taking a deep breath, Ark said softly.
“I promise.”
After accompanying Kurona and Shirona, Ark then leaves. By the time he exited their room and closed the door, the gentle smile on his face instantly turned into a flat expression.
‘Really, I'm too mean to lie to them, right?’
‘Again, against such disaster-level monsters ..’
‘Who is sure to come back alive?’
Ark's figure walked down the stairs, leaving the place without saying an extra word. No longer want to pile lies on top of people's expectations.
