Apocalypse Regression's
Welwitcschia Mirabilis
“I will accept all your conditions. So, are you really going to realize my wish?”
“Of course not.”
Ark replied in a flat tone.
“Then, your previous greeting-“
“You must realize your own desires. I only give means.”
“You mean?” Angelica raised her eyebrows.
“The more you comply, the more services you provide, the more useful you are. That simple. Besides ...”
Bruk!
The intense pressure made Angelica instantly kneel on the ground. He found it hard to breathe. Absolutely no idea what Ark was trying to do.
At that moment, Ark's voice came back.
“For a small cat, shouldn't you be softer and act spoiled to your master?”
Hearing that, cold sweat drenched Angelica's back. He looked up, looking at Ark while squeezing out a smile that even looked terrible.
“S-I understand ... Mr.”
A hand stretched out and gently stroked Angelica's head.
“Smart small cat.”
After the remark was heard, the pressure on Angelica's body suddenly disappeared. The woman took a long breath. However, he also wondered how could there be such a cruel man and have such a bad hobby.
Ark's voice was heard in Angelica's ear.
“Welwitcschia Mirabilis.”
Hearing Ark's remark, Angelica stared with a puzzled expression on her face. I had no idea what the young man meant.
“Far in the desert plains before the apocalypse arrived, there was a plant living in such an extreme environment. The plant consists of only two leaves, but the leaves are very easily split into many parts due to the wind.
Because of its disheveled and messy shape, the plant is often considered trash. It was even dubbed as the ugliest plant in the world.”
“...”
Angelica fell silent. He did not expect Ark to look at him the same way. She considers herself an uncivilized and bad-looking woman.
“Although the ugliest title is not cool, but the plant has its own greatness. The plant has roots that are able to extend more than 30 meters underground. In addition, the plant can also live more than 2000 years. That is why ...
She is also dubbed as the most resilient plant in the world.”
Upon hearing Ark's words, clear tears flowed past Angelica's cheeks. Just then, Ark's voice came back to his ears.
“At the time I saw you, I somehow thought of that name. In this messy foggy city, you keep fighting to survive and become a strong woman. Many people who underestimate, think you are ugly, even disgusted and do not allow you to stay with them.
Welwitcschia Mirabilis's. Doesn't that sound right with you?”
Seeing the smile on Ark's face, Angelica was completely stunned.
The woman knew that the man in front of her was just saying sweet words. He also knew that the man only wanted information about this fog city. Even Angelica also knew, that the man only considered it as a tool.
But the woman could not escape. Despite the many falsehoods, he still wanted to continue reminiscing about the warm palm that touched his head gently.
In this cold and cruel world, he only wanted warmth and good treatment.
Yes ... Even if it's just a hoax, Angelica still wants it!
Ark also knew what Angelica was thinking. But he doesn't care so much. The young man simply said in a relaxed tone.
“As long as you follow me, not only get what you want, I will also treat you well.”
After saying that, Ark took out two bottles of potion and one container of ointment.
“Minum. It's a poison cure. If you want to be strong and restore your appearance, at least you have to live longer.
After all, not everything can be achieved instantly.”
Hearing that, Angelica knelt in front of Ark while receiving those two potions and ointments.
Ark nodded lightly. He turned around and left the room saying.
“After you finish drinking the antidote and applying the ointment, grab your luggage. We'll get out of this place.”
***
Her night.
Angelica followed Ark into the outer circle. He felt quite confused because on the way did not find many zombies or other mutated creatures.
A moment passed, and the two men reached the temporary headquarters of the Sword of Sufferings.
Seeing the many people patrolling in black robes and uniform weapons, Angelica was shocked. He had absolutely not expected that there would be such a large group in the outer circle. Recalling the previous information made the woman shake her head.
‘This guy really came from outside? Is it government? Or other groups?’
‘If they are from outside, why come to this damned city? Is the outside world more dangerous than this place?’
Various questions came to Angelica's mind, but she did not dare to ask directly.
“Welcome back, Chairman!”
One of the patrolling teams saluted. Not just one team, but many teams they both met saluted Ark.
The sight really made Angelica even more confused and surprised.
By the time they entered the building, the figure of a beautiful woman with blonde hair and red irises. The princess-like endearing appearance in the fairy tale greeted the two of them.
“Welcome back, Sir. Are you done trying your new ‘toys’?”
Ark looked at Roxanne who was smiling gently towards him.
“I haven't tried it yet. Instead, I found a group on the border of the outer circle and the middle circle.
Meet her name is Angelica. From now on, he would be a part of the Sword of Sufferings. To be more precise, you could think of this woman as an apprentice. He has a good understanding of this city, so it is quite useful.”
“So ..” Roxanne nodded gently.
“You're in charge of taking care of it. Clean, take care, and dress her properly. I'm going to go see Mona. There's something important I need to talk to him about.”
Seeing Ark walking away, Roxanne immediately saluted.
“Understanding, Mr.”
After Ark left, Roxanne turned her gaze towards Angelica.
“Include, my name is Roxanne. Please follow me.”
Angelica was confused, but ended up following Roxanne without saying a word.
About an hour later, Angelica sat in front of a short table with plenty of food on it.
Now, Angelica's clothes have been changed to be more decent. To cover up his physical disability, he wore a black robe outside of his ordinary clothes. In addition, she also wears a hood and half-face mask to cover up her monstrous appearance.
Angelica looked towards Roxanne with a puzzled expression. He did not expect that the woman was not disgusted at him, even treating him as if he saw nothing. The woman began to think that this group she was in was really strange.
“Anu ... May I ask you something, Miss Roxanne?”
“Say,” reply Roxanne flat.
“Actually who are you and why are you coming to this place? Also, who was Mr?”
“Didn't you introduce yourself? Yes ... it doesn't matter.”
Roxanne shook her head. Gazing right into Angelica's eyes, she said.
“Tuan is the Chairman of this group of Sword of Sufferings. He is often called the White Devil or King of the Underworld, Hades.
The reason we came to this place was because of his orders. While the actual destination ..”
Roxanne smile.
“You just need to comply and do not need to think about it.”
