Apocalypse Regression's

The Light of Hope or the Mirage?

About half an hour after the battle took place, dozens of people from the Golden Maple Group arrived at the location. Due to the considerable distance, it takes time to get to the destination.

Only, they came one step too late.

Arriving at the location, they only saw dozens of lifeless bodies of their comrades.

“This has really gone too far.”

Looking towards the corpse that was decapitated or slashed part of its neck, their hands immediately clenched tightly. They felt very upset, after a few days of their comrades being killed, there was now another colleague being killed.

“They must have left not too long ago. His blood is still warm. If we catch up, we might be able to catch up with them!”

One of the people suggested. At that moment, many people with red eyes from anger and sadness wanted to chase. Only, one person suddenly said.

“We do not get a mission to do the pursuit of the opponent. Even if we chase, are you sure there won't be any casualties? Are you guys sure they didn't set a trap for us?”

“...”

Seeing his comrades only speechless, the man let out a long sigh.

“Bring back the bodies of our colleagues. Report this incident and let the higher-ups arrange a change in the patrol formation.

Besides, we should give them a proper funeral. Don't let their bodies be the food of zombies or those damned cannibals.”

Hearing that, people nodded with heavy expressions on their faces. Seeing his comrades die so easily, some of them also felt frightened.

Fear of being suddenly killed while doing nothing wrong. Only a victim of friction of the two large groups.

***

One day later.

Spider returned to the main headquarters of the Cursed Berserkers. In contrast to his tired-looking team members, the man looked filled with anger. His expression looked even gloomier compared to when he left.

Going to the office where Crocodile is located, Spider meets Scorpio on the way.

“How?” scorpio asked with a tired face.

“I don't want to repeat the conversation. I'll report. If you want to know, just follow.”

Seeing Spider's gloomy expression, Scorpio shook his head. He did not expect that his partner was obsessed with Aisha who did not like her at all.

Too obsessed to be considered infatuated with the woman!

Entering Crocodile's office, they both saw the chairman who had been waiting with a serious expression on his face.

“How, Spider? Is there a problem?”

“Actually we can ambush, kill twenty people, and arrest people for interrogation.”

“Then, why do you look so depressed? No casualties, right?” Crocodile raised his eyebrows.

“Indeed there were no casualties. However, I've made sure that the Golden Maple Group has nothing to do. In fact, the reason why they increased the defense was because the members of their group were also beheaded and their heads were returned as gifts. Same with what happened to us.”

Hearing that, Crocodile's expression became even more serious. He glanced towards Scorpio then heaved a sigh of relief. If not for the man's conjecture, Crocodile might have led an army to attack the Golden Maple Group.

Finally? Of course both sides were harmed, then the Imperial Phoenix would come to take everything as a winner!

“We really almost cheated.”

Crocodile gritted his teeth. The man felt very angry that he had been fooled. Really think of a way to take revenge on them.

Meanwhile, Spider thought of something else.

In addition to its place being so far away, the defense of the group was notoriously solid. Not to mention, they had better weapon quality than the other groups. Thinking about it made him even more depressed.

‘Those damned government people ..’

Spider bit his lip until it bled. His hands clenched tightly. He really felt so depressed that he could no longer think clearly.

“Think carefully. You may get useful information from the interrogation. Don't get inedded by emotions so mess things up.”

Scorpio patted Spider on the shoulder while saying with a serious expression. It didn't seem like he wanted his partner to get carried away until he was completely insane.

“Sword of Sufferings ..” muttered Spider.

Saying that, the man's eyes suddenly sparkled. Sensing the spirit emerging from within his heart, he began to say in haste.

“The guy said that Golden Maple Group made a transaction with Sword of Sufferings. Although the numbers are only hundreds, but they are strong and complete. It is said that the genius scientist gets useful information when trading them.

He said, the group traded potions, weapons, and equipment. If we get better weapons than them, it is not impossible to fight the Imperial Phoenix directly!

There he is, Boss! The Sword of Sufferings was not a large group and had just moved in. They definitely did not have excessive strength! If we conquer that group ... wouldn't we be the strongest group in this city?!”

Looking at the excited-looking Spider, Crocodile also felt excited. Only, Scorpio frowned.

“If they are weak, why is Golden Maple Group not trying to conquer them?” ask Scorpio.

The room immediately became quiet. Everyone is confused.

After a while, Spider seemed to realize something then said.

“Isn't it because their warrior strength is less powerful? Moreover, if they took out too many people, wouldn't that make the Cursed Berserkers and Imperial Phoenix suspicious?

Obviously, they want to keep the information themselves. Unfortunately, due to the movements of the Imperial Phoenix, we are lucky to get information about the group.

Besides, isn't this the opportunity the heavens have given us? I mean, the Sword of Sufferings chose to go to the border close to our territory because the resources there are many.

Only, they did not know the place was very dangerous.

Right now, they must be extremely exhausted from spending a lot of energy to fight and take shelter from the monsters in that place. If it attacked them soon, wouldn't that be the biggest advantage for Cursed Berserkers?”

Hearing that, the eyes of Crocodile and the other higher-ups sparkled. Only, there was one person who felt a strangeness.

The reason why the Golden Maple Group did not attack. The reason why the Sword of Sufferings chose dangerous territory. Golden opportunity.

All of the alibis made the Sword of Sufferings innocent and unlucky.

Only, Scorpio feels that it all feels so beautiful. It was too beautiful that she could not believe the reality of being able to stand up for evil and cruel people like them.

Somehow, the man felt the Cursed Berserkers were attracted by the beautiful light. Just like a small fish who is attracted to the light incandescent Anglerfish. If they keep following him, they could be eaten by the creature until it's left.

Seeing that no one cared, Scorpio let out a long sigh. He felt that he was a bit strange, different from those people.

‘Maybe I'm too paranoid? I seem to be lacking a break. Anyway ..’

‘There can't be anyone capable of making plans involving such large groups, right?’

Scorpio's eyebrows are wrinkled. The man denied the doubt in his heart. It was just that, for some reason, the feeling of dancing on the devil's palm made him feel afraid.

‘People like that .. definitely don't exist, right?’
