Apocalypse Regression's
Cruel Reality
About an hour later.
“Jadi ... do you believe it now?”
Beaten black and blue without being killed, ten team members sat upright while listening to Jay's words. Hearing the question, they nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
“Your name is Kyle, right?” ask Jay.
Kyle, a man of Jay's age with a tall body and thin stature nodded lightly. He was the one who served as the supervisor. The person Jay met first.
“I told you I came in peace, right? Why didn't you hear it at all?”
“...”
Kyle was silent. He did not answer, dispute, or complain. After all, in this kind of messy world, it was impossible for them to believe such random utterances.
“He did it because it was his job. As a traveler and a person who has survived in the wild for so long, you should know that there are too many strange things in this world. Besides, we can't trust someone just because they're human.”
The middle-aged man leading the team, Brandon said with a serious expression. He keeps observing Jay, seemingly constantly trying to ascertain whether the man is really a human or a monster in disguise.
It's only natural that Brandon is suspicious. After all, no normal human possessed such strength, endurance, and speed.
Although Jay's words were so straightforward and sounding believable, Brandon and his colleagues did not immediately believe them.
Jay also knew that those people didn't believe him. Giving up on doing things in a gentle way, the man ended up directly asking about the point.
“As a city resident, you definitely know Golden Maple Group, right? What about the condition of those people? Golden Maple owners and their employees?”
Hearing Jay's words, the expressions of the nine people turned serious. They immediately looked towards Jay with hateful gazes. Meanwhile, one other person, Brandon burst into laughter.
“HAHAHAHA!”
Hearing a crazy laugh from Brandon's mouth, Jay felt very angry. For some reason, he really felt a bad feeling.
The man walked over to Brandon and pulled his collar with an angry expression.
“What's so funny, Old Man?! Say it! Tell me what you know about Golden Maple Group!”
“HAHAHAHA!”
Instead of being afraid, Brandon laughed out loud. He looked towards Jay then said with a playful expression.
“I'm curious. Looks like you really don't know about the Golden Maple. Are you a failed subject that is discarded, trying to find the truth? Or did you actually come from out of town?”
“TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW!” jay shouted with a grim expression.
Brandon did not answer. He stared at Jay with a playful smile. Just then, Kyle's voice suddenly sounded.
“It seems that you really came from out of town. Do you have any relatives in the Golden Maple Group? If true, then you should just give up on meeting them. After all, some of them are dead.”
“Isn't it more precisely a guinea pig?” brandon said with a tone full of sarcasm. “They caught people to be the test subjects of superhuman manufacturing or something. They are just crazy people, so I suggest you not try to get close to that damned group.”
“IMPOSSIBLE!” jay shouted with a face of anger and disbelief.
The man's breath became ungodly. His body trembled, completely unable to believe what he heard.
“HEHEHE! It seems that you know some people with high positions, Nak.” Brandon grinned. “Good, helpful people in need are no longer someone you know. If you don't believe it, you better check it with your own eyes!”
BRUISES!
Jay immediately beat Brandon until his face was drenched in blood. The man then took a few steps back with a trembling body. It was simply impossible to imagine that Golden Maple, his family-owned company did such a thing.
Jay hated that kind of practice the most. Her mother always taught her good manners, so there was no trust in hearing the Golden Maple Group do human trials.
Jay hated the Imperial Tiger that used to do such experiments. They look like the devil and are hostile to them. However, now he had actually heard that his parents were doing such a thing.
“Don't blame Mr. Brandon. The reason why he was like that after hearing the name Golden Maple was because his son was captured and used as a guinea pig.
It's not just Mr. Brandon. Quite a number of our colleagues were victims of the Golden Maple. Many people in this city know that. Even if finding another team or group, their answer must be the same.”
“...”
Hearing that, Jay kept quiet. His expression became calmer. Traces of sadness appeared in his eyes.
After a while, the man looked towards Kyle then said.
“Can you point out the direction of the place where the new Golden Maple Group headquarters are located? There's something I want to make sure with my own eyes.”
Saying that, Jay showed a gentle smile mixed with sadness on his face.

Meanwhile, in an area of the border between the outer and middle circles.
“Cih! Why don't you kick that woman out, Boss?!”
“Yes. Just look at his looks. It really makes us unable to eat! Absolutely disgusting!”
“...”
Some people are crowding. Just then, they glanced towards the corner of the spacious room. There, there was a figure sitting alone.
The woman's appearance looked very messy. Hair disheveled. Half his head was wrapped in a black cloth. His face was covered with dirt. Her clothes were very worn out, filled with patches.
The figure of the man who was the head of the group said.
“Although his appearance is very bad, but he is very useful. The woman had the ability to fight against zombies and mutated beasts. He dared to fight cruelly.
That was the reason why he could stay in this place.”
“Hahaha. It turns out you can be so cruel, Chairman!”
“Yes. Even if was the only woman in the group, no one would want to spend the night with her.”
“Angelica? That kind of rotten and ugly face is really still on the angel?”
“...”
Hearing the laughter, Angelica did not protest at all. He just sat in the corner while eating a strange-shaped fruit the size of a fist in silence.
At that very instant, a panicked voice suddenly sounded from outside the building.
“Enemy! Enemy attack!”
“...”
The sound disappeared and the atmosphere instantly became silent. The people in the room immediately became serious. They took the guns and left the room.
Out of the room, everyone immediately gasped when they saw many bodies being dismembered and blood pooling all over the floor. At that very instant, everyone's gazes fell onto the standing figure blocking the exit.
Long white hair tied to later. Red eyes like rubies looked at them with indifferent eyes. A cigarette hung on his lips.
Taking out a cigarette with his hand then exhaling its smoke, the figure of the young man then said.
“People are still alive, are you?”
