Apocalypse Regression's
Big Difference
“How can it?”
Looking at the terrifying scene where the Blade of Areia desperately held out against hundreds of blue coral crabs until many were injured, Scorpio looked in disbelief.
“What do you expect? Everyone came forward and wiped out the nest of the beast?”
The flat speech from Ark's mouth made Scorpio feel ashamed. Despite having a difference, he did not expect that the difference was still too exaggerated.
Of course, the reason why Scorpio does not know is because he does not even understand the level of beings and improvement through evolution. He was just training and trying to build a base because his seniors (other soldiers) said that everything would be revealed in time.
Tell the man not to rush too much for fear of messing things up.
“Are we going to help them, Chairman?”
“No need.” The Ark shook his head lightly while looking from a distance. “Although a bit heavy, but they can definitely get through it. Let it be an experience they never forget throughout life.”
“...”
Somehow, Scorpio feels that the word ‘ is a bit heavy’ has a different meaning if it comes out of Ark's mouth. Out-of-work, deathly, full of blood and dying ... it was really considered as ‘a bit heavily’ in the mouth of that white-haired handsome young man.
Scorpio feels it is outrageous!
‘Are they going to be okay?’
Looking at the condition of the Blade of Areia, Scorpio felt somewhat doubtful. But his expression changed after some time.
‘This ... how could this kind of thing possibly happen?’
In front of Scorpio's shocked eyes, the originally desperate Blade of Areia was completely still able to hold on. They even started to counterattack. Start killing one by one the blue coral crabs with cooperation.
From what Scorpio saw, those people seemed to imitate the strategy that the Sword of Sufferings had done. It was just that, due to the difference in strength, they needed more people to conquer a single blue coral crab.
“Do not underestimate human determination to survive.”
“Eh?”
Hearing Ark's words, Scorpio looked puzzled.
“I call it ‘art in despair’ because it can only be done when they are in a desperate state.
For example, when facing a death crisis where they have only two answers. The first answer is, of course, to give up and die. It was easier because most people who had experienced failure chose to run away (dead) and avoid that path.
The latter is to use despair to force itself to flourish. Use the entire body, every millimeter to do your best to survive. The body expends potential in itself, the brain works harder, and as you can see ...
Yep. They are growing rapidly even in a short time.”
“...”
Scorpio doesn't know what to say. What Ark said made sense, but he felt that only a sane person would use such extreme and cruel methods.
Throw heavy weights on their shoulders, allowing them to build muscle or be crushed to death. That's how Scorpio deciphers what Ark previously said.
“While it takes too many people to kill a crab, it feels like the amount it takes is too far when compared to a zombie. They wasted too much energy and strength.”
Hearing the comments from Ark's mouth, Scorpio chose silence. For some reason, it felt like he had developed a sense of invulnerability over the leader's cold and cruel remarks.
“You can worry about them later. What you need to do now is pay attention to your every senior move. Because of course, sooner or later you will also fight zombies and mutated animals.”
“Good, Chairman!”
Following Ark's advice, Scorpio is more focused on fighting people than Sword of Sufferings. See how the various skills learned can be used in real combat.
Three hours just passed.
In this time, over a thousand blue coral crabs were wiped out. Of course, 80% were done by the Sword of Sufferings. However, the area they cleared was only the outside and the mouth of the cave.
Those people have not gone deeper to plunge and finish off the crabs in the nest.
“Yes. Although a bit slow, but their shells do suck.”
“Remember said Chairman? Go after the crack, man. The gap!”
“I've tried it, but it doesn't always work because they can sometimes protect themselves.”
“Hehehe. So do I feel.”
“Then why did you protest?”
“...”
Finishing the fight, the people from the Sword of Sufferings went to rest while talking about the previous fight. Meanwhile, another scene was seen in the Blade of Areia group.
There, many people looked pale and limp. Most of them looked very exhausted and could collapse at any time. Not to mention, even though there were no casualties, there were still quite a number of people injured whether it was light or heavy.
So, at the moment when they saw the people from the Sword of Sufferings talking and joking like they had just come home jogging together, they were extremely shocked and looked incredulous.
They simply did not believe that the difference between the two groups could go that far. They had also stopped regarding the Sword of Sufferings as trivial or overconfident.
Those people were aware, not because the Sword of Sufferings wanted to be arrogant or not serious. But in reality, the number of people they brought was indeed more than enough to carry out this joint mission.
“Stop being relaxed. Go straight to rest. I gave you 1 hour.
After that, everyone gathered according to their respective teams. Then, you will begin to stand guard, five teams will stand guard for two hours and take turns. As you know, although the enemy that looks has settled, but not all.
The enemy will send more troops. Not only level 1, but also level 2. So you guys understand what I mean, right?”
“Ya, Chairman!” answer them in unison.
Scorpio feels a bit strange. He felt that the people from the Sword of Sufferings were too obedient. Not to mention, there was no disgruntled appearance even though Ark did not help in the battle.
While the people from the Blade of Areia were busy resting while treating the wounds, the Sword of Sufferings members were somewhat away from the battleground to rest and eat.
Ark himself lit a cigarette. Sitting on a rock while watching the mouth of the cave in the distance. It seems to be waiting for something.
“Is there a problem, chairman?”
Hearing the question, Ark replied casually.
“No problem. Everything went according to my guess.”
“According to your expectations?”
“Ya.” Ark nodded lightly. “That means soon it's time to work.”
“Eh?”
Scorpio who is considered to have high intelligence really cannot understand what Ark means. However, about an hour later, he only understood what the chairman meant.
The sound of the simultaneous movement of thousands of feet that sounded noisy shocked the people who were resting. Especially the people from the Blade of Areia who thought the battle was over.
Moments later, thousands of blue coral crabs emerged from within the giant cave. This time it was a bit different because their size was not only one meter wide. Some have sizes of two, three, even four meters.
The larger, the more terrible it looks because the shape of the shell is increasingly irregular and looks threatening.
Right then and there, everyone saw a figure walking past them quietly.
Standing far in front of the line alone, Ark pulled out his sword. The young man exhaled cigarette smoke while staring at the crabs with a flat face.
“Time to work, Children.”
