Apocalypse Regression's

Gain Trust

Two days later.

“Are you ready?”

Ark looked towards his sister as well as his comrades. Seeing that everyone was already wearing full clothes while carrying a large bag full of materials they got in this city. The ingredients are partly used as medicine, the rest are food ingredients.

“Ya, Chairman!” answer them in unison.

When he heard their answer, Ark nodded. In accordance with Evans' request, Saito has moved the refugees (remnants of the Spirit of Fire) to a hideout.

That location was quite hidden just like the previous Spirit of Fire headquarters. In fact, Ark wanted to use for the Sword of Sufferings personal headquarters, but it ended up also being used to house those people. If it wasn't for his sister, he wouldn't have wanted to be so concerned about the group that even tried to blackmail her.

Ark left with his sister and colleagues at night. Although their movements had to be slower due to more risk factors, but their threat was only zombies and various ferocious beasts. Although the type of ferocious beast was many, but it was still less dangerous than humans.

For now, Ark did not want to deal directly with the Crux of Shadow. After all, it was not only troublesome for their chief, but Silvia who was there was also a very dangerous level 4 creature. Not to mention, as the owner of the slime, it should have some subordinates of its own as well.

Ark was convinced that Silvia would not form a large group like the Crux of Shadow sect, because that was how it was. Even so, it did not mean that the woman would not take the elite route by floating a few people and forming a powerful killing team of her own.

‘Now ... I have to think how to break up the cooperation between Silvia and Crux of Shadow.’

While drawing, Ark thought of various ways. But remembering Silvia's deep hatred in her previous life and seemingly only living to kill herself gave the young man a headache. At that moment, Silvia was always alone, her expression seemed blank, and turned hateful when she met him.

If the gaze could kill, Ark was sure he was already torn apart by Silvia's gaze.

‘His problem, why could he hate me so much in his previous life?’

Ark felt a lot of questions in his head. When he met a few days ago, he felt that Silvia's hatred was not so deep. Not like a black hole trying to swallow it. So according to Ark, there is a chance to ‘talk carefully’ with the woman.

‘Now is not the time to think about this.’

Looking at the rock hill in front of them, Ark let out a long sigh. He, his sister, and his comrades finally arrived at the location, the,

The hideout Ark found was not a building or a human building, but a cave made by a beast. The place was once a den of a third-rate mutated bear whose miracle root was taken by Leon. The location was quite strategic because the place was spacious enough for the activities of hundreds of people. In front of the cave, there was a field, and around it was filled with trees and rock hills.

It was outside the city, a suburban area where no one was wandering around!

Arriving at the location, Ark and his colleagues saw a large cave about eight meters wide and nearly ten meters high. The shape of the cave was slightly tilted so that the inside of the cave was lower compared to the outside.

“Who?!”

Shouts were heard from inside the cave. Just then, dozens of armed men came out from the cave. At the moment of exiting, their expressions changed when they saw the Sword of Sufferings group that had just arrived.

“Before moving you here, Saito should have told you. This place was the temporary headquarters for the Sword of Sufferings. If you are here, then you are qualified by two conditions. Not a rotten character and willing to come with him voluntarily.”

“Y-Yes!” they answered with nervous expressions.

As he was about to say something, Ark felt that Evans kept staring at him. Sighing inwardly, he spoke in a flat tone.

“Go rest, tomorrow morning you will get the appropriate settings.”

“Y-Yes!”

After saying that, Ark immediately brought his comrades inside. When they entered the cave, they were immediately greeted with a dark scene. Unless some people who already had vision in the dark like Ark or some third-rate members could see, the rest saw dimly lit scenery. Of course, if people were ordinary, they would only see darkness.

So after getting there, Ark and his comrades instantly chose to rest.

***

Next day.

The morning as the sun began to shine on the world, Ark and the other members of the Sword of Sufferings had woken up. After preparing, they immediately came out. Not to forget, they also told the refugees to come out and march.

Because the series of rooms has a circular shape, with a diameter of 10 meters, the smallest room has an area of about 78.5 square meters. The room is enough to live in about 30 people more as long as they lie down neatly to sleep. Of course, 50 more people could be staying if they slept sitting and hugging their legs. However the Sword of Sufferings would not treat them in such an exaggerated manner unless there was no other choice.

From dozens of rooms, about 500 people gathered. They had all been selected, so most of them were not too old. Most who have almost thirty are mothers with children. While those who have more than 30 years of age are mostly men with some experience in certain fields of work who are deliberately left to participate by Saito.

Looking towards the neatly lined up people, Ark immediately looked at them with an indifferent expression behind his mask. Except for Evans who was plain-clothed, the rest of the Sword of Sufferings members were just like him, wearing robes and masks.

“At first, I didn't want to accept you guys at all because opening a branch in this city must have been a hassle. However since someone wanted to take charge of the branch, I decided to form it.

Here, I do not need you to worship me as a messenger of the Goddess or the Gods. You don't need to think of me as a higher being. I, Hades, am also an ordinary human like you.

What I want from you is your obedience. I want you to work according to the instructions. Instead, you get the appropriate training and feeding rations. How much you earn depends on how much you contribute.

I don't care if you used to be a son of an official, a son of a rich businessman, a son of a cop, or even a homeless man. Here, everything is the same. As long as you want to contribute, you will get what you deserve. And the one who will be responsible for you is him ...

Evans, who was once considered a traitor to the Spirit of Fire because of the greed of your superiors!”

Saying that, Ark patted Evans on the shoulder. The reason Ark didn't mention that Evans was his sister was actually simple. In addition to secrecy, she wanted her sister to build her own prestige and not just step behind her shadows.

“I object!”

Just then, there was a figure who dared to raise his hand. Everyone stared at the person with a surprised expression. She was a pretty girl figure, the daughter of the previous Spirit of Fire chief.

“Say your reason for refusing.” Ark replied flatly.

“We obviously don't mind if the branch leader is a member of the Sword of Sufferings because we are now your prisoners. But I feel that ‘outside’ like Evans is not at all suitable as a leader.

Rather than him, you should have asked some people who have experience and are more deserving as chairman.”

THE PLAQUE!

The figure of the girl instantly crashed and rolled on the ground. Just then, the figure of Draco stood in the position of the girl before. The man then said coldly.

“Jaga how you talk. You yourself know that we don't really care about your lives. If making trouble, I don't mind reducing one.”

“Enough, Draco.”

Ark interrupted immediately, the young man then said in a lazy tone.

“If you want to see it, then I will allow it. You said Evans wasn't worthy, right? Then ...”

“Let him alone convince you.”
