Apocalypse Regression's

Drama

Inside Ark's big tent.

Jay and Mona sat quietly, while Ark walked back and forth with a solemn expression. After a while, the young man spoke.

“Since when did you feel any weirdness?” ask Ark.

“It .. about half a month ago, Chairman.”

Hearing that, Ark's expression turned even more serious. Meanwhile, Jay looked panicked.

“How is it, Ark? Mona obviously fought a lot these two weeks. Is everything okay?”

“Shut! You don't deserve to complain!” ark was not satisfied.

Looking towards his unreliable best friend, the young man felt somewhat depressed. The higher one's level, the harder they were to have offspring. That means, any success could be considered luck.

So, even though Mona did not have such a close relationship with Ark, as the chairman, she was still worried about his safety.

At that moment, Ark suddenly heard a voice from outside. Glancing at the source of the voice, he immediately said.

“Stop eavesdropping on such talks, Roxanne. That kind of thing is disrespectful.”

Hearing his words, the voice outside instantly became silent.

“Come.”

“...”

While waiting, Roxanne's figure finally entered the room. Seeing that, Jay and Mona felt somewhat doubtful.

“What are you doing? If it were now in headquarters or on a dangerous mission, I would have already punished you.”

“I ... I am curious and worried about Mona, Mr.”

Seeing the sincere expression on Roxanne's face, Ark finally did not make things difficult for her. The young man instead explained directly because Mona was once Roxanne's guardian and was familiar with the girl.

“Mona is pregnant, she is not sick at all or anything like that. It's just, it's still a hassle.”

“M-Bother?” roxanne asked with a nervous expression.

Hearing Ark's words and seeing the flat expression on the young man's face made Roxanne remember many bad stories. According to his knowledge, babies who are considered annoying will usually be ‘dumped’.

Thinking of that alone, Roxanne immediately stared at Mona with an anxious expression. Shifting his eyes to Ark, he ventured to speak.

“Anu .. forgive my impoliteness, Sir. However, I have my own opinion.”

“Is there a problem?” ask Ark.

“In my opinion, the baby should be preserved. Although heavy, but-Ouch!”

Roxanne held onto her forehead with a puzzled expression. Just then, Ark's voice suddenly sounded.

“Who said the baby would be dumped?” ask Ark with a flat face.

“But, from the way you talk and the expression on your face - ouch!”

“Is there something wrong with my face, Roxanne?”

“T-No, Mr.”

“En.”

Ark nodded lightly. The young man then glanced towards the panicked Jay and Mona who was sitting dazedly in her place.

“Mona, because of your condition, from now on you are forbidden to do heavy work let alone fight.”

Hearing that, Mona immediately raised her hand.

“Please excuse me, Chief. In my opinion, because it is still early, doing some work and fighting is absolutely not a problem.”

“Rejected!” said Ark firmly.

“...”

Roxanne's surprised. She did not expect Ark to be so protective of women. As he remembered, the young man treated men and women the same way.

Just then, a drama suddenly appeared in Roxanne's head.

‘Why is the chairman so protective with the baby in Mona's stomach?’

‘Why did Mr Jay not realize that his girlfriend was pregnant?’

‘Don't tell me, the baby in Mona's stomach belongs ..’

Roxanne's eyes immediately widened. The girl looked towards Ark with an expression of disbelief. It was truly unexpected that the chairman he respected had such a terrifying hobby.

“Even if you don't say it, I know you're thinking something rude about me, Roxanne.” Ark's expression became darker.

Roxanne again held onto her forehead with a depressed expression. Although Ark's flick looks not hard, but still feels very painful. The girl thought, maybe she could be a bit stupid if she kept being flushed like that.

“Stop thinking about something no-no.

As I said, the higher the level of both partners, the harder it is to have offspring. This has been proven in real terms.

Vadim had many wives and I asked him to have children. Then do you know what's going on?

After almost a year ‘work hard every day’, only 2 of his wives end up pregnant.”

“...”

Looking at Roxanne, Mona, and the confused Jay, the corner of Ark's lips twitched. In the end, the young man explained.

“Look now. The human population is declining every day.

In order for humans not to become extinct, of course, offspring are needed to continue. Moving from generation to generation.

If the human population is dwindling and there is no increase in numbers to compensate. Mankind ... will really become extinct.

That is the reason why I care so much about every pregnant woman in Sword of Sufferings. Whether it's ordinary employees to higher-ups, I'll treat them with care.”

Hearing that, Roxanne immediately heaved a sigh of relief. At that moment, Jay raised his hand and asked.

“Then, what should I do, Ark?”

“Of course you have to take good care of Mona.”

“Ya!” jay replied while standing up and saluting.

“Most of his duties will be thrown to your duties.”

“Ya!”

“Try to provide the best nutrition for Mona. Look for some mutated fruits on the way that are suitable to eat. Not just any fruit that is harmful to his health.”

“Ya!”

“...”

Seeing Jay yanga say yes and agree to everything, the corner of Ark's lips twitched.

At that moment, Roxanne glanced towards Mona. Seeing how Ark noticed the woman, he muttered softly with a slightly red face.

“Truly envious. I ... also want.”

Having excellent hearing, of course, Roxanne's speech very slowly still goes into Ark's ears. Only, the young man continued to talk to Jay, pretending not to hear him.

***

Next morning.

The soldiers who had rested all night finally appeared with relaxed faces. They no longer looked as depressed as before.

While the chefs cooked, the craftsmen helped the soldiers take care of their armor and weapons. The soldiers themselves did the morning exercises.

After the exercise, they all ate together. Although overall there was not much difference, but there was still a difference in where Ark was.

Compared to everyone's food, Mona's food was fewer, but more complete.

After breakfast, the young man called everyone and gave them directions on a new, safer route. The time required was also not too long, just like the route they took.

Previously, Ark had wanted to focus on training warriors before arriving in the city. But now change is needed. According to him, another exercise will be carried out once they reach the city and establish a temporary headquarters.

“Does anyone mind my settings?” ark asked with a cold expression.

“No, Chairman!” answer everyone in unison.

“Then, pack up immediately! We'll leave later in the afternoon!”

“Ya, Chairman!”

“Lanes disbanded.”

After the people saluted and dispersed, Ark instantly turned his gaze towards the gray sky as well as the thick fog in the distance.

‘Hopefully, that damned place is different from before.’

Not wanting to think about anything unnecessary, Ark shook his head. The young man then went packing.

Prepare to continue the journey, where their destination is in sight!
