Apocalypse Regression's

Infiltrating the Phoenix Nest

Ark and his two companions continued on. In less than an hour, they reached the Imperial Phoenix headquarters.

“Although many are patrolling, we can still infiltrate with many roads.”

From the roof of one of the buildings, Aisha muttered with a strange expression. It seems confused to be happy or sad.

In the Imperial Phoenix headquarters, there appeared to be many patrol squads. However, there seemed to be many gaps in their patrol rotation. Ark and Aisha guessed that some of the people considered to be soldiers must have been recruited after the apocalypse. Previously just ordinary people.

Seeing Ark constantly staring in a certain direction, Aisha immediately asked.

“Is there an Ark problem?”

Ark shook his head lightly. He looked towards the Imperial Phoenix headquarters while saying.

“No. I just thought that Imperial Phoenix was not as bad as I thought.”

“You mean?” Aisha tilted her head.

“I mean, they are better than Golden Maple Group and Cursed Berserkers.”

“Oh?”

Aisha was a little surprised, but immediately understood what Ark meant.

Unlike the Golden Maple Group and the Cursed Berserkers who only had a few buildings, Imperial Phoenix managed more buildings. Not only are they more in number, but they also use them well.

There is a building where refugees live. There are better buildings for the soldiers. There is also a special building for the officials.

Not only that. They also have several other buildings to store goods and food stocks.

“Better we go in to look around.”

Hearing Ark's words, Aisha glanced at Angelica. The woman did not hide any trace of pity in her eyes at all.

“Eh? Why are you staring at me like that Brother Aisha?”

“If you want to infiltrate. That means you have to stay outside, absolutely unable to get inside as it lacks the ability to camouflage.

It is not that you have to have special abilities. If you are trained, you can go. However, you don't seem to have gotten a good training. So, Ark should have asked you to wait outside.”

“S-I'll be careful!”

“No. Being careful is not enough.

In this task, we must infiltrate the enemy headquarters without being discovered. If discovered, the identity will be uncovered and end up causing chaos throughout the city.

It's not that we're weaker or can't escape. We are only required to be invisible to the opponent and that requires 100% certainty.

Without a certain ability, risk does not match the results. Better not to do.”

“Oh ..”

Hearing Aisha's explanation, Angelica's expression instantly dimmed. It seems to be very depressed because they can not join Ark and Aisha to explore the enemy's territory.

“Although you can't log in, there are tasks you need to complete. You don't have to wait in this place until we're done.”

Ark said to Angelica. Seeing the woman's expression turn serious, he began to explain.

“You can see those patrolling people right?”

Angelica nodded in response to Ark's question.

“The place they went around was the main headquarters and the important buildings around it. Arguably, that place was the center of the Imperial Phoenix region.

Even so, are you sure some traitors will just keep quiet?

Listening to Ark's explanation made Angelica's expression even more serious. Aisha's normally relaxed expression also turned dark.

Unlike Angelica who considers this mission very important, Aisha has a grudge against officials, especially those who commit corruption and embezzlement.

“Search where the traitors hide food and other items.

If we meet, we'll take him away. Don't misunderstand me because this isn't theft. We are only doing good, which is helping Imperial Phoenix to prevent traitors from making trouble.”

“You're right Ark. We did nothing bad, but instead helped Imperial Phoenix.”

Aisha grinning. The woman glanced at Ark with a satisfied expression. It seemed to be very supportive of the plan made by the young man.

“This is a very important mission. So I hope you can take this task seriously, Angelica.”

“Understanding!” Angelica nodded with a serious face.

After that, Ark sent Angelica away. Only then did he go to enter the core area of the Imperial Phoenix headquarters together with Aisha.

***

About four hours later, in the storage room.

“Are you really able to find something good here?”

Aisha said after biting the apple in her hand. Looking at the vast storehouse filled with various items from bones, exo-skeletons, feathers, fangs, and various parts of mutated creatures made the woman feel uncertain.

Moreover, those things looked so dirty!

“Although only levies items, it does not mean there is nothing good here.”

Just as Ark had said, the items in this place were collected by the members of the Imperial Phoenix while on patrol or exploring their territory while searching for food.

Every mutated creature is not just hostile to humans. Just like the previous world, they also had their own food chain. The difference is, humans are now falling to the lowest point.

So it is not impossible to find materials by picking up.

That Ark did in his previous life. Without real strength, they could only behave humbly. Collecting various materials from mutated animal carcasses to be used as weapons, various equipment, and traps.

It's just that, picking up is not the best solution because the materials they can be too random. In addition, they also do not know the source of the material. Maybe a low-level creature, maybe a high-level creature as well.

At worst, they are poisonous or have dangerous parasites. When viewed in terms of security, it's bad.

Ark who had so much experience did not dare to say that he could guess where the material came from. However, at least he was still confident enough to distinguish high and low quality materials.

In addition, the young man is also sure to be able to distinguish dangerous goods (poisonous/parasitic) or not.

“Searching in the garbage pile. It's really not my style.”

Aisha let out a long sigh as she looked towards Ark.

Not that she's a spoiled woman. Just that doing things like this made him remember bad memories when he was in difficult times.

Ignoring Aisha who was leaning by the door while eating an apple, Ark continued to sort out and then picked out some useful items.

From what Ark chose, there were of course some requirements that needed to be met. One, must be at least level 4 ingredients. Two, the size is not large and easy to carry. Three, it was not so conspicuous that the people from the Imperial Phoenix were unconscious when the thing disappeared.

After looking at it for some time, Ark finally brought back four small items that were not so conspicuous. But his movements suddenly stopped. Looking towards the pile of items like trash, the young man's eyes twinkled slightly.

Even Ark could not help but be shocked in his heart.

‘I really did not expect to meet this thing here.’
