Apocalypse Regression's

Pave the Way

“Why don't we choose another direction only, Mister?”

Stacy asked Ark when she saw a lush forest not far in front of them. Currently, they were all at the southern border of the city. Only, this place was very different from other borders whose location was not so densely packed with trees.

“Because of more vegetation, the more possibilities we encounter as well. Of course, even though what I'm talking about is profit, but we also have to calculate higher risk.”

Ark replied with a flat expression as usual. However, there was something that the young man did not want to tell them.

‘There's no way I'd say I wanted to go where my sister was. Besides, I don't know if he's alive or not.’

Ark could not help but sigh in his heart. Although he wanted to see his sister, but the young man felt a bit scared. In his previous life, it took him many years to raise his strength to the stage where he could go outside the city. At that time, he also moved around due to the madness of the ant army.

So, by the time he headed to the city where his sister was studying, let alone his body, Ark could not find his bones. The entire city was completely destroyed.

‘What if he's dead?’

That question made Ark feel uncomfortable. Although he had given some advice before, but he had absolutely no time to talk about potions or miracle roots. The time is too short to talk about a lot of things. Not to mention, by the time he first returned, Ark was completely baffled by the circumstances. Even if he had, his sister would not have known silverstar grass and other materials.

Ark immediately shook his head. His younger brother might not be one of the survivors until the final stage in his previous life. However, Ark was still confident in his brother's abilities. The young man was quite intelligent in judging things. So, after getting advice, the chance of survival should be higher than before.

Looking towards his people, Ark then gave the order.

“Twenty people in the front row, grab equipment. Ten people took an axe, ten people took a scythe.

Twenty people in the front row were tasked with clearing the road. Small trees, shrubs, and small stones.. Get rid of them all! Tasks are performed in turns every hour. After an hour, the 20 people behind him would replace the ones in front. The one at the very front earlier retreated to the back row.

Do!”

“Ya, Chairman!” answer them in unison.

Although directly exploring is not a bad choice, but Ark plans to make a path between cities. So, now he intended to make a path that the carriage could pass easily first. Although it is said to be a path, but its width is similar to that of a highway.

Using the power of the level two warriors who had taken the miracle root, their cleaning speed was extremely efficient. At least about 500 meters per hour, which means 2.5 kilometers every five hours. If it goes normally, it is not far at all, but to open the road at such speed is already very, very fast. It might not be a stone road let alone asphalt, but the road itself was enough to use.

Each day, they did three turns with a half-hour break after a full five hours of work taking turns. So, in one day they opened the road along 7.5 kilometers and spent about 16.5 hours. The rest they use to sleep and rest so that the next day can work with full energy.

Thus, one week just passed by.

It was just that, within this time, they could be considered both lucky and unlucky. It was fortunate that not facing monsters above level 2 was quite dangerous for them. They are less fortunate because they get nothing. There were no rare plants or anything like that. Although there were some plants, but the level was quite low and they already had them in the headquarters. So they chose to just leave it alone and take it when it came back because it was troublesome.

After one week, they had not found another city at all. This makes people feel depressed. Ark himself looked calm.

The normal distance of the forest and the usual environment is about 75-100 kilometers. While the special environment like a desert that suddenly appeared was even wider.

The direction where the Ark went could be said to be quite short because it was approximately 80 kilometers. Arguably, they have reached about 2/3rd street. It was also by making a new road that was quite worth passing.

It's just that, as Ark said before, the distance of the city where he and his sister live is not city A to city B, but must be from city A to city B, new to city C. Under normal circumstances, it is not far away. But in the present circumstances where danger is everywhere and must pave the way again. That distance is far enough.

According to Ark's estimation, they needed some time to arrive at the city where his sister was. About a week later, summer is coming. Combined with various circumstances, they would arrive at the town where Ark's sister lived in mid-summer or even in the third month of summer.

Having waited for over a year, Ark had enough confidence. If indeed his sister could get away in the first year, it would not be too difficult to survive the second year as long as he was careful. Of course that's what he's thinking now not knowing his sister is being hanged and tortured every day out there.

If asked to wait a month and a half and continue to be tortured, even if not dead, maybe Evans had gone crazy when Ark arrived.

If Evans found out how ‘santai’ her brother was, she would have already vomited blood from anger. Not only always deceive him with the appearance of office workers who are lethargic, often overtime, tired expressions, and always reasoned so rarely go home … now he's really putting off because in his brain Evans must be fine.

Knowing all that, Evans must have cursed his own brother for having behaved outrageously even before the apocalypse arrived!

By the time Ark and his comrades rested, Saito's figure appeared. He had walked forward early to see how far the next town was. Become a scout tasked with checking the road.

“Distance to the next city about 25 kilometers from here, Chairman. If we accelerate the movement, 3 to four days later we can open a big road up there.”

Grunting that, many people felt even more excited. After all, they had wondered if the city outside had been destroyed and razed to the ground because they could not find it. It's just that the sentence Ark spoke left them confused.

“No. We'll stop here.”

“You mean, Chairman?” Saito looked confused.

“Expand the cleaned area in this place. From now on, not everyone will move forward. Some will stay to make a place to live at once a temporary post. As food supplies and equipment will be maintained here, Finn, Luna, and Starla will stay.

In addition, Saito, Draco, Leon, and 50 people will go with me tomorrow. The rest will stay here.”

At first, everyone was confused. At that moment, Roxanne who was usually silent explained.

“The two don't want to appear too flashy. In addition, opening the road directly between cities also has a lot of risks. Rather than a positive effect, there are more negative effects. We must not make a mess because the city we live in now is cleaner and more peaceful.

In order to prevent outsiders from entering and wreaking havoc, we are the ones who will make the invasion first. Clean up, and conquer them all before making your way between cities!”

Hearing Roxanne's explanation, everyone immediately looked towards Ark with expressions of astonishment and reverence. It was truly unexpected that the man had such great ambition.
