Apocalypse Regression's

Gathering More Information

Meanwhile, on the third floor of an abandoned building.

The floor has been cleaned and various damaged furniture has been discarded. There, Ark and his comrades were resting. They had all removed their coats and dried them. It seems to be enjoying a relaxing time that is so rare to have.

Lying on the floor wearing only white shorts, Leon stared at the ceiling muttering.

“This is really bad.”

Hearing the man's words, everyone immediately turned their eyes to him. It seems curious as to what bothers Leon's usually most ignorant and mentally steel mind.

“Because we live more comfortably than others, we have a habit of keeping clean. This is really bad. If you have to travel far, some of the contents of the bag will definitely be filled with clothes. If not ...

We'll end up like this.”

“I guess what! It turns out that you even care about trivial things like that, Stupid!”

“Who do you call stupid, Lizard?”

“Hah?!”

Leon and Draco looked at each other with annoyed expressions on his face.

“Enough. Stop ruining this relaxing moment.” Saito interrupted immediately.

Leon and Draco immediately glanced towards Saito with displeased expressions. Both of them only wore white silk shorts. Not only were they two, but the other twenty soldiers were also the same. However, Saito had a different appearance. The man and Ark are still wearing their shirts and trousers.

“Why are you guys looking at me with such an expression?” Saito raised his eyebrows.

“Nothing!” leon and Draco replied in an annoyed tone.

“...”

Ark sat leisurely at the window while feeling a gust of wind. He stared towards the city with a flat expression. It seemed to be daydreaming, but no one knew what he was thinking.

On the roof, many clothes and robes were dried because they were soaked with blood. While waiting for the clothes to dry, more than twenty people sat back down casually. Most of them have good physicality. Not only were they not too fat or thin, but their bodies were also well formed due to the exercises they went through.

Especially Leon and Draco. Draco's body is similar to Jeet Kune Do's creator figure, not large, but dense and full of muscle. There were also some scars and tattoos on his body. As for Leon, his body was more terrifying because it was completely similar to a humanoid monster. Not to mention, the tattoos and injuries that were possessed were more than that of Draco.

Unlike the front of ordinary soldiers who if walking would attract attention and a sense of awe, the bodies of the two men clearly made people become frightened to the point of not daring to look directly into their eyes.

“Omong-by the way, are the clothes we dry already? I mean, we've been drying it since the afternoon and it's midnight.”

Hearing Leon's words, Ark turned his head and replied flatly.

“I just told you to dry it and remove the stark smell. What happens next has nothing to do with me.”

That explanation instantly made the people stare at Leon angrily. Although it does not make them catch a cold, but facing the cold wind at night with just shorts is really uncomfortable. They got up and went to get their clothes.

About half an hour later, everyone had re-assembled in almost complete clothes. Not planning to go out, they did not wear their robes and masks.

“Are we going to attack another Crux of Shadow post, Boss?” ask Leon.

“Not now.” Ark shook his head. “We don't have much information at all. We might be able to attack some outposts far from the headquarters, but the closer location obviously could not be done carelessly. Also, the reason why we attack is just to spread fear.”

“Why should we spread fear, Boss?” ask Leon.

“For they not to forget.”

Ark replied calmly. But not everyone knows the meaning meant by the chairman. Maybe only a small percentage of them understand what that means. Not yet able to digest everything, Ark's voice was heard again.

“Today we rest. Let's use the ghosts of the people in the city to panic and keep watch to recover our energy. After all, we've been on a long journey, and yes ..”

“Let those people wait until tired as long as we enjoy this break time.”

The next day afternoon.

Evans, who finished training and the hunt, is back. By the time he reached his and Brian's quarters, the young man was shocked to see his best friend who had finished packing.

“Why do you wear such equipment? Are you really going?” ask Evans.

“What did you say Evans? I was sent out to do a tracking mission.”

Brian said relax. He smiled as friendly as ever.

“Tracking? Who?”

“Sorry, Friend. This mission has a secret nature, so I can't say anything about this.”

“How long will you be going?” ask Evans.

“Do not know. Maybe three days to one week.”

“Should I come with you?”

Hearing that question, Brian smiled. He stared at his best friend attentively then patted the young man on the shoulder as he said.

“Actually I'm glad you want to accompany me. It's just, it's a mission for one person. So I can't accept that offer.”

“What if I sneak up so we can-“

“Thank you, Evans. But that kind of thing is not necessary. Besides, I should also give you important advice.” Saying that, Brian's expression became even more serious. “I don't know what you're doing outside, but I hope you can hold back and not just go in and out of headquarters so as not to be suspected of being a traitor.”

“I can't possibly betray because-“

“The people above don't care about that, Evans! They now suspect you and start watching you, so you better be careful. Do not make a big problem and end up because of the tricks of those people.”

“Do you suspect the leader of our own group, Brian?”

“Of course not. But there are also many leaders. Although they do not know whether they are good or bad, but it is better to continue to be careful. After all, the most we can trust is ourselves.”

Seeing the serious expression on his best friend's face, Evans nodded.

“I understand. I'll definitely be fine.”

“Then I can calm down!” brian said with a smile on his face.

“Are you leaving now?” ask Evans.

“Yes. The sooner I leave, I should be able to quickly return.”

“Then take care of yourself, Brian.”

“You should also take good care of yourself, Evans.”

After saying that, Brian left. Evans who saw the back of his best friend disappear in the distance let out a long sigh. Now the young man had finally broken through the shackles of level 2. Although it was not as strong as the subordinates that Ark had brought to this city, but he was clearly stronger than the people in the Spirit of Fire.

Evans clenched his fists while thinking.

‘If I can keep getting stronger, I can definitely protect the people who matter to me. Maybe someday ... I can also find brother.’

Meanwhile, Brian who had walked out of the headquarters threw a smile on his face. Having a guilty expression, the young man thought.

‘If in this mission I can meet with the Sword of Sufferings, maybe I won't return. So ... This could be a farewell, my friend.’
