Apocalypse Regression's

Your path and mine

"You're not staying?"

Seeing Stacy who chose to catch up with him made Ark a little surprised. The young man thought Stacy would choose to stay. After all, Ark and Stacy haven't known each other for too long. In addition, he has also said that Julian's group is still reliable.

"..."

Stacy did not answer. The girl ran and hugged Ark from behind. He then grabbed the young man's hand and bit him.

Although Stacy's bite did not make Ark feel any pain, he was still shocked.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm angry, Sir!"

"..."

Seeing Ark speechless, Stacy said again.

"You're really mean."

"If I'm cruel, why don't you—"

"Because I'm sure, being with you will make me stronger. Stronger so as to protect others and no longer lose those I care about."

"You know the basics. Even if you go with Julian, you'll get better."

"Did you kick me out, sir?" ask Stacy while pouting.

"Not really."

"You said Silver Cross was a good place, right?"

"Indeed."

"Then let Juana be there. Even if we split up, we're still alive. Not knowing when, there must be a time when humans improve. No need to fear those zombies.

By then, it won't be too late to meet Juana again."

Stacy smiled brightly, leaving Ark stunned in its place. His hands clenched tightly.

'So so ...'

Ark thought when he saw Stacy's smile. Clearly, this girl in front of him thought that the future would be so beautiful and bright because they could pass through such a terrifying and cruel early stage.

Indeed, many are hoping that a beautiful day will come soon, the dark will rise brightly. It clearly makes someone have a strong spirit to continue living.

Ark closed his eyes, some memories flashed through his mind. His body trembled a little.

'Can ... because having a better start and having all the science needed to survive, we can definitely stay.'

Ark made a determination. Not only for himself or the people he loved, the young man also wanted to pave the way for people who wanted to survive and fight!

"Are you okay, sir?"

Stacy's question instantly awakened Ark from his daydream.

Looking towards the girl, Ark stretched out his hand and gently stroked Stacy's head.

"Thank you, Stacy."

Ark's speech instantly made Stacy tilt her head with a puzzled look on her face. But seeing a little smile on the handsome young man's face made him happy too.

"We'll look for it on the first floor."

"Good! Where should we go, sir?"

"To the back area."

Ark walked towards the back area followed by Stacy.

Sure enough, there appeared some people who were dressed seedy. Ark's gaze was instantly fixed towards the three people who were in the corner. A dirty-looking woman and two small children were about seven or eight years old.

Although male and female, both look similar.

Looking towards Ark who was walking towards them, the woman lowered her head while hugging her two children. Meanwhile, her daughter sniffled. While the boy got up, broke away from his mother's embrace.

Standing in front of his mother and sister, the boy opened his arms wide. Blocking Ark and Stacy.

"Go, Evil Man!"

Such a childish voice sounded.

At that very instant, the people around instantly moved away in fear. Even the boy's mother also looked pale. He was about to grab his son, but was startled by Ark standing in front of the three of them while looking down with a flat expression.

"Even if you cover your face with dust and dirt, the gems in the mud are still quite dazzling."

"Don't bother my mother, you bad guy!"

"N-Nathan!"

The boy's mother panicked as she looked towards the little boy who was trying to attack Ark. Not yet able to grab it, the boy had already rushed forward.

Ark casually held onto the top of the boy's head and slightly pressed down on it, leaving the boy named Nathan motionless from his spot. Even if trying hard, the boy just hit the air with a stubborn expression. Looks kind of silly.

Glancing at Nathan, Ark immediately saw bruises on some parts of the boy's body. His expression did not change, but he suddenly withdrew his hand, then closed the boy's mouth and nose. Makes it difficult to breathe. At that moment, Ark used his other hand to tap the back of Nathan's neck.

At that moment, Nathan was unconscious.

"N-nathan! What do you want from my son?! He's just a kid! He didn't mean—"

Ark ignored the boy's mother who looked desperate. He took Nathan and said.

"Take your daughter and follow me. Natasha is waiting for you. He'll explain everything."

"Eh?"

A shocked expression appeared on the woman's face upon hearing Natasha's name mentioned.

"I thought you were here, Abigail!"

A worried and relieved voice sounded when Natasha's figure appeared.

Seeing Natasha not covering her face, Abigail looked surprised. He then gazed towards Natasha and Ark back and forth with a suspicious expression.

"I'll explain later, brother. For now, we have to go."

Natasha said with a gentle smile on her face.

"To be more precise, take a few harvests and go."

After saying that, Ark then walked while holding Nathan. At that moment, some people started asking.

"Can we come with you, sir?"

"We're starving and need food, sir"

"We ..."

"..."

Hearing their words, Ark's expression instantly turned cold.

"Silent. There was a group called the Silver Cross that had defeated the Reaver Group. They will take you, the victims, to go to a safer, more stable place.

So wait for it."

"But we need your help. We—"

A haggard-looking middle-aged man confronted the Ark. Right then, Ark directly pulled out the katana then slashed down with a cold expression.

A slash!

When the headless corpse fell to the floor, everyone was instantly frightened. Abigail closed her daughter's eyes, while she herself stared at Ark with a pale face.

"Don't beg me. I'm not the hero you're expecting." Ark then glanced back. "We're leaving."

Out of the minimarket, they were greeted by ten people led by Julian.

They had all gotten rid of all the corpses and gathered all the weapons.

"You're picking up a woman and two kids?"

Julian asked Ark with a suspicious tone.

"Yes." Yeah."

Hearing the short answer, Julian was silent for a moment. He then said.

"You take the items you need first."

Ark nodded lightly then looked at the pile of weapons. In the end, he chose one once belonging to Borin and four daggers. He then told Natasha to take him.

Looking at the remaining weapons that were still piling up, Julian said.

"You gave all this to us?"

"I can't carry everything. Besides, I don't lack weapons. Besides ... You need it more, right?"

Hearing that, Julian stared at the Ark with a stern expression.

"Even if you give me this, I won't assume what you're doing is right!"

"Whatever."

Ark said with an indifferent expression.

"Your path and mine are different, Julian. What we think is right is different. However, I hope you guys don't antagonize us. Then you won't care what you do either.

Remember ... This is a warning."

Hearing Ark's words, Julian and his friends goosebumps. Although his words seemed trivial, they still clearly remembered the reason why the Reaver Group was annihilated.

Yes ... because they ignored the warning from the Ark!

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave now."

After saying that, Ark was about to leave but finally paused for a moment and turned his head towards Julian. Having a relaxed smile on his face, the young man said.

"Be careful of opponents and friends, because I hope I can still meet you next time ...

The Hero of Barren Land."

After saying that, Ark then left with his people.
