Apocalypse Regression's

Using All Ways

The Sword of Sufferings research center.

"Really, why would you carry such a thing? Aren't you wasting materials?"

Old Franky stared at the Ark with a suspicious expression. Although he himself was not too concerned with materials, but the young man before him was clearly different. He was very careful in using materials. Not doing things that are not needed because they know how difficult they are to find the material.

"Of course it has its own uses." Ark said casually, having absolutely no intention of explaining to Old Franky.

"At least tell me why you're so careless. You didn't really intend to kill yourself, did you?"

"Of course not. The chances of survival are about 50%, so you better pray for my safety, Old Man." Ark grinning.

"This is ..."

"Forget over. I'm going to the lab, please don't bother me because what I'm doing is really dangerous."

Ark instantly gave Old Franky a warning. Although he himself was quite confident in his abilities, but the materials he possessed were simply too rare and precious. If there is a mistake, it is too late to regret it.

The winning percentage against the Ant King instantly dropped below 1%!

Just by looking at the numbers, it was clear how important the materials in Ark's hands were. The young man then went to a private room so that no one would disturb him. He then took out three wooden boxes and placed them on the table. After opening the lid, the young man's eyes narrowed.

In one box, the plant appears to be a 1000-year-old ginseng, but its appearance is now similar to that of a mandrake in mythology.

In another box, there was a golden apple, a fruit in the middle of a city park. Ark gets it after defeating the white snake along with Jay

In the last box, there was a black apple that looked tangled. There are many patterns like people screaming and crying. This is the thing Ark got in the siege and clearance missions of the cannibals.

These three were the main ingredients of a special potion. A potion that was accidentally created by a genius scientist, but should not be used.

Ark looked towards the box with a serious expression. Taking a deep breath, the young man instantly turned calmer. Strong determination appeared in his eyes.

The next day, Ark went straight to the frontlines with the people who would follow him in fighting against the mutated ants.

It took them quite a while until they finally arrived at their destination.

Arriving there, Ark was immediately greeted by hundreds of people. Most of them were people that Jesus could not fight. But they are very helpful in digging trenches, making traps and installing them.

Unlike the moat in general. What they dug was wider and deeper, enough to bury second-rate worker ants. Underneath it was filled with many spears. Not just one, but they make a lot of digs like that. This is done to slow down the attack that comes.

Arriving at the location, Ark immediately went around to check for traps. He did not dare to be careless at all as it currently concerned more innocent human lives.

Actually Ark also wanted to supply Silver Cross and Black Panther after the next meeting. However, not only was the amount of potions that could be produced limited, their time was not enough either. The ants would definitely attack before they broke through the first boundary.

"What do you think?"

Hearing that question, Ark turned his head. He then saw the figure of Julian who had come alone.

"You're coming to the front line? What about headquarters? Did you really choose to leave him?"

"There's still Berto there. Everything is almost done, after the people are sent to the suburbs in the opposite direction, everyone will advance to the front row." Julian said with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Don't you think that maybe the ants won't come? Maybe I lied and actually killed them?"

Ark shrugged, saying in a flat tone as usual.

"You won't do useless things and waste time like that, Ark."

Julian shook his head. Definitely disagree with some such simple thoughts.

"Then why do you think they haven't come?" ask Ark flat.

"Should have prepared myself." Julian said with doubt.

"Yes. They should have prepared themselves, increased the numbers before attacking us. So if my guess is not wrong, they must have currently attacked a nearby town. The city that is a distance from the nest is not so far away from us.

It might be a little embarrassing to say this, but we are indeed lucky enough to have a little extra time to prepare."

"But the other city must be in disaster, Ark." Julian immediately frowned when he heard Ark's words.

"What if they destroy the city before going to this city? Aren't we going to be overwhelmed by that?"

"They won't do it."

"Why are you sure?"

"There's no excuse. I just believe that they wouldn't do anything like that."

Ark said in an indifferent tone. His words were clearly full of gaps, but Julian no longer asked. He just assumed that Ark deliberately threw away the possibility so as not to panic people.

Ark itself has a good reason.

First, just like the human position, the ants who are intelligent enough fear that humans are growing faster, so they want to destroy the city where Ark is located.

Second, the ants did not go to the town where Ark was to gather materials because they knew that there would be many casualties. It is not worth it at all, so choose to try to find another nearby town.

Third, the Ant King was not yet too mature, so he would not realize how weak the human race was now. He regarded humans as a threat, so the creatures also prepared themselves for extermination. Not to mention, Ark was very familiar with cruel, vicious attitude, and did not want to lose to the Ant King.

The creature must have been impatient from holding back for too long! Want to immediately attack and exterminate Ark and his colleagues.

Given the wounds the Ant King received, Ark became a little more relaxed. Although the strength, defense, and speed of the creature was incredible. Fortunately, his regeneration ability is still in the normal range, not so excessive.

What makes Ark a headache is the Ant King's ability to absorb the rocks and change their shape. After he ate a certain rock, his defense would increase and increase. In the final stage where the Ant King had become extremely intelligent and capable of thinking rivaling the genius of man, he collected diamonds from the place he conquered.

Just imagine, a slender figure that darted faster than a sniper bullet, a defense stronger than a diamond, even having several times the density compared to a diamond. Coupled with punches that could destroy homes and vicious attacks that could knock down buildings ... The Ant King could be said to be a creature that brought destruction and despair.

That's why Ark wouldn't allow him to grow up at all!

Because in addition to those core abilities, the creature would have other abilities. Not regeneration, but something even more terrifying than that!

"Hey, Ark!"

"En? What's up?"

Julian's call resuscitated Ark from his daydream. He asked with a flat expression on his face.

"Actually I wanted to say this a long time ago, but—"

"Stop. I don't accept confessions, let alone men. I'm a hundred percent normal."

Ark interrupted Julian. The man was immediately stunned when he heard Ark's words.

"Who wants to confess to you, K-parat!"

"So stop being shy and just say it. Honestly, it's not sweet at all, it's disgusting!"

"..."

The corner of Julian's lips twitched violently. He had not expected to still receive such sharp words from the annoying young man in front of him. Taking a deep breath, Julian then said firmly.

"I've hated you since we first met. You're the meanest person I've ever met in my life. You never seem to think of people's lives as important.

Instead, you treat life like a commodity that can be used anytime you need it. Yet, somehow, there is also a part of you that makes me feel like I have to respect you.

In a way, I really don't like that cruel attitude. On the other hand, I am grateful to have known you.

Without your help, maybe I can't get here.

Thank you, Ark!"

Julian bowed and said in a sincere tone.

"Yes ... Glad you finally realized you're nothing without my help."

Ark's flat answer instantly made Julian rise in blood, really wanting to vomit blood from anger. He simply stared at the young man viciously, unaware that ...

Ark actually smiled behind his mask.
