Apocalypse Regression's

The Wrong Way of Thinking

Ark and Jay sat across. While Jay looked somewhat nervous, Ark himself still wore a flat expression while waiting.

“Actually there's something I want to talk about, Ark. Me ..”

“Stop being shy like a little girl. That's disgusting.”

Seeing Jay's hesitation, Ark immediately interjected with a look of disdain. The corner of Jay's lips immediately twitched when he heard his words.

“I know!” Jay scratched his hair with a frustrated expression. “Actually I thought of my family, Ark.”

After saying that, Jay looked quite relieved. He then looked at Ark who was still silent and continued.

“After seeing you meet your sister, I suddenly thought of my parents. I mean, like you said, they're big businessmen and have a lot of subordinates, so ...

They might still be safe, right?

Although my relationship with them wasn't very good because I was forced to inherit the company and dictate my future, they were still my parents, Ark. I still think about them.

What did I do wrong?”

Seeing the usually cheerful and reckless Jay becoming indecisive, Ark let out a long sigh. He then propped up his chin and said casually.

“Of course it's not wrong. Not to mention, now we have been on the right development path. After living better and surviving in the process of survival, it never hurts for us to think about things other than ourselves.”

“...”

Ark looked towards Jay who was still silent. Seeing the haggard appearance of his best friend, he continued.

“Do you want to go? Where do they live?

If you want to do it, I don't mind at all. I'll let you form a team and then go make sure of everything. However, if the distance is too far, I suggest leaving next year after the snow melts.

If the distance is quite far but still can be reached, you can go this month and try to reach the destination city before winter. You should stay there in winter, and if it comes back .. make sure when the snow has melted.”

“No.” Jay shook his head.

“What do you mean?” ask Ark confused.

“I won't go. Three towns, far enough. In addition, we should focus on group development first. If it has spread more and more, it is not impossible for us to reach and open a branch in the city.”

“Jay-“

“It's okay, Ark! It's been a year and a half. There are only two possibilities. First, they could not survive and died. Lastly, they got better because they managed to survive. Just like your sister's case.

By the way, do you want to hear my story?”

“En.” Ark nodded lightly in response.

Jay began talking about his childhood into adulthood. The man started telling me about the old man and the people around him. The expression on Jay's face was clearly jumbled, but Ark chose to shut up and listen because he was sober ...

Jay is venting all his emotions.

Finished telling me everything, Jay looked relieved. He then looked at Ark with a sincere expression, full of gratitude. After which, the man immediately got up while saying.

“Then I'll go see Mona first, Ark. As usual, I need to calm down~”

Seeing the smile on Jay's face, Ark nodded calmly. Only after his best friend left did he lean back on his chair and stare at his sweaty palms. Although his face was still flat, the gaze full of surprise could no longer be hidden.

The reason is actually very simple. Ark knew the town Jay was referring to and told about. After all, the place was famous as one of the extremely dangerous places and in his previous life, it took so many people to conquer it.

Thinking of the city and remembering the cheerful smile on his best friend's face, Ark's hands clenched tightly. Forcing himself to smile and dispel negative thoughts, the young man muttered.

“Either why, I really feel a bad feeling.”

***

Two days just passed.

During the day, Julian, Berto, and about 50 of the Silver Cross' best knights came to the Sword of Sufferings headquarters to meet Ark.

They then gathered on the first floor of the pleasure building. As usual, Ark had no intention of letting ‘outs’ pass through the gate of the Sword of Sufferings central headquarters. Eventually they met at the place.

Of course, they did nothing as the first floor to the three buildings were indeed devoted to receiving guests of Sword of Sufferings. In addition, there is also a registration and recording place for someone who started working on the construction of the Great Wall or some other project.

All workers are supervised so that if anyone does not register first, they will be destroyed no matter the reason. If there are no names and records, all those inside are considered intruders and only one way to deal with them.

In the lounge, Ark sat casually in his chair. Next to her, there was Stacy who acted like a secretary. On the other hand, there was Julian and Berto sitting next to each other.

Ark picked up a cup of tea and sipped it. After which, he put the cup back on the table then asked.

“Is there a problem, Julian?”

Hearing Ark's question, Julian and Berto looked at each other. After a few moments, Julian finally opened his mouth and said.

“I came because I heard you have returned from a long journey. I came to ascertain whether the information was true or false. In addition, I also want to know ... is the outside world also very dangerous like our city?”

Hearing that, Ark nodded lightly. He knew the main reason Julian had come. They are very curious about the conditions of the outside world. After all, even though they had started living more comfortably, they still wanted to know if there was a safer place out there.

“Sorry, Julian. It seems I have to disappoint you guys.”

“What do you mean, Ark? If the problem is price, you can mention it.”

Julian frowned. He felt Ark was unwilling to speak as every piece of information was considered valuable. After all, after all this time, Julian knew the personality of the man called Hades.

“Not that the problem.” Ark shook his head. “I mean, my information might just let you guys down.”

“Tell me, Ark.” Julian said with a serious expression.

“Place of peace out there ... absolutely no.”

Ark said in a flat tone. Ignoring the surprised expressions of the two of them, he again explained.

“If you want to know. I'll tell you a few things about the outside world.”

After that, Ark began to explain some of the abnormalities in the world. The distance of the city is separated by several unique terrains. Creatures mutate outside the city, and the uniqueness of other cities.

“So really no hope?”

Julian said with a wry smile on his face. Berto seemed somewhat doubtful. Ark himself did not care about the thoughts of the two of them. After all, he only stated the facts that needed to be explained. Believe it or not, it's their business.

“Indeed, there is no safe place out there. But you guys are ignoring something important.”

Ark tapped the table with his finger.

“If there is no safe place, we just need to make it.”
