Apocalypse Regression's

What a Beautiful Night

Without feeling, time passes.

It had been more than ten days since Ark and his comrades left the city, traveling back towards the main headquarters. At this time, there was absolutely no special situation happening. If anything, it might only come into contact with a few level 3 mutated beasts.

“Ugh! Next time I have to take Debby. I don't care, if it's a long trip ... she should be there!”

Walking with a backpack larger than her body, Lisa complains. Now, he obviously didn't carry the BREAKER, but it was still difficult to move around carrying heavy loads. The girl was actually reluctant, but was forced to do so because everyone carried a full load.

Especially Finn. Huskies with snow-white fur carry a lot of stuff. As for his master, Ark had brought absolutely nothing.

Including Finn, the 52 members brought a lot of stuff. Not only were the various plants mutated, but also various precious materials from the level 3 and level 4 mutated beasts. The harvest they obtained this time could happen because other cities could be considered unspoiled areas. It has been more than a year and a half that various plants have accumulated, so that they can return with a full charge.

“Kak! After returning, help me make a knight-like armor from that centipede's breath!”

Walking beside Ark, Lisa said in a spoiled tone. He knew very well, compared to the craftsmen in the workshop, the young man-made items were of higher quality. In addition, there are things that Lisa thinks are more important, namely ...

The design looks cool and elegant!

“Invite the people in the workshop to do it. I'm busy.”

Ark said in a flat tone.

“Cannot be! It's high-quality material, brother. You must make it with your own hands.”

“It wastes a lot of time, Lisa.”

“But it's worth it.” Lisa gave her thumb.

“Apply for you, not for me.” Ark's lip twitching.

Looking towards Lisa who was pouting, Ark raised the corner of his lips. The young man then said in a playful tone.

“How about betting?”

Hearing that, Lisa immediately looked at Ark suspiciously.

***

The same afternoon, Ark and his comrades finally arrived at the main headquarters.

Seeing Ark and his subordinates carrying an awful lot of materials, everyone was shocked. Although it did not know what level the ingredients were at, but the quantity alone was already incredible. Not to mention, various materials have been preserved by drying or using other means.

“Bring everything to the main warehouse, then separate according to the type.”

After unloading the charge carried by Finn, Ark immediately gave the order.

“Understood, Chairman!” answer the people in unison.

While the people who had just arrived went straight to their respective residences, the people in charge started moving the items. Ark and Lisa went straight home.

It's just that, haven't had a long rest, Ark immediately dragged Lisa to do a meeting with the other team first back.

In the meeting room, Lisa leaned against her chair with a pouting expression.

“Can't we do it tomorrow?”

Ark immediately replied to Lisa's words in a monotone tone. Seeing that, the other team's chairman and vice-chairman shook their heads. Feeling that Ark is still firm and quite cruel as usual.

“Argh!”

Lisa ruffled her own hair with a depressed expression. According to his plan, he would lie at home all day while eating snacks and drinking fruit juice until satisfied. But who would have thought, the person he thought would rest with him instead messed up his plans.

“Good. Then let's just get started. Jay, Mona .. report team situation 1.”

“Understanding.”

Jay said relax. He was about to stand up to speak, but Ark told him to sit down. Despite this special report, the young man obviously wanted to do everything more casually. No need to be too serious.

“Report from team 1. The place we went to was a pretty big city, there were quite a number of groups there. Although there were no people with special abilities like in the case of Crux of Shadow, some groups were quite solid. It was a bit difficult to get a foothold to open a branch because in addition to having bad talent, the temperament of those people was quite unruly.

According to the plan, team 1 started the trade and made it back with twenty backpacks containing mutated plants as well as materials from level 3 ferocious beasts. Despite not opening the branch yet, we have laid a foothold there. Become quite famous among large groups.”

“En.” Ark nodded lightly. “Team 2, tell us your situation.”

Hearing that, Saito nodded.

“I think the 2nd team situation is quite good, sir. The city we were heading to was not very big. Although there are quite a number of groups, but we can directly create branches. We chose some young leaders, defeated those groups, then forced the leader and also some of the higher-ups to become members of the branch with the power of Claus' Blood Slime.

We managed to form a branch with the number of members of the main group of 20 people who were given the power of Blood Slime. If counted together with their subordinates, there were 200 people. Of course, 180 people were not included in the list at all, only considered ordinary workers. Even so, they are still very satisfied as they can be full by working under our Sword of Sufferings group branch.

After that, we started to open trading channels. Although he had only managed to collect 25 backpacks containing mutated plants and level 3 mutated beast materials as time ran out to build branches, but the branches were definitely stable. It should be able to develop to a higher point, and we can get a stable harvest starting next year.”

Hearing Saito's words, everyone in the room was dumbfounded. They did not expect that many things could be done in such a short time. Those people instantly stared towards Saito who had a paralyzed expression and Claus who was leaning with a careless expression, not looking at all reliable.

“NO!”

Just then, Lisa immediately shouted with a depressed expression on her face. Hearing that, everyone looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Ark propped up his chin with an indifferent expression on his face. The young man then said casually.

“According to our bet, Lisa. Winter training and your duties are doubled. Yes ... It seems you will be busy until the end of the year.”

“You must have known this, Brother Smell!” lisa said with a depressed expression.

When it comes back, they both bet on which team will achieve the best results. Lisa chose first that team 4 would be the best. Ark said casually that Saito was a person who was too serious at work, so he chose team 2.

If Lisa wins the bet, Ark will make her new armor. A complete type of full-plate armor of some precious materials. If Ark wins, Lisa's training schedule is doubled. In addition, the girl will carry out overtime duties without more pay for until the end of the year.

“I don't know what you mean.”

Ark instantly denied it in a monotone tone. Lying without changing the expression on his face. The young man then glanced out the window. The sky was dark, and the snow was falling.

“What a beautiful night,” Ark said with a relaxed expression.

That way, once again, even a cruel winter had finally arrived.
