Two days later.
"Really .. I wonder why I chose to comply with that person's request."
Sitting in a small messy stall, Darin muttered softly. He's been traveling one day and one night. However, he had still not reached the Silver Cross headquarters. The young man even thought that Ark might be deceiving him. Not to mention after the incident last night where he was surrounded by zombies and almost died.
Darin had even lost his glasses. But he still feels grateful. Perhaps due to drinking the evolution potion, his eyes began to improve. Even if it is not completely normal, but the vision is not so bad.
Recalling the figure of Ark standing on top of the pile of zombie corpses and looking majestic, Darin let out a long sigh.
"Where might the chairman want to trap people like me? If he wanted to, he would have finished me off easily. One slash?"
Given how strong Ark was, Darin smiled wryly. He really felt inferior. There was absolutely no courage to make a group of his own let alone to fight Ark.
Darin knows that Ark is still hiding his powers. Although apart from Jay no one knew it, but he still paid enough attention. Especially on the trail left behind after Ark killed the mutant rat for the first time.
A thin and deep enough slash on the asphalt was clearly not done in the usual way. Darin suspects, it is related to Ark's ability. Especially when she saw Jay had special abilities.
It's just, Darin is a bit confused. According to Ark, Stacy had clearly completed the first evolution. However, the girl did not possess any special abilities. That means, there are two possibilities.
First, Ark lied that Stacy had completed the first evolution. Secondly, there was another way or requirement to obtain such strange power.
Since Ark was a man who usually did not renege on his words, Darin guessed that the second reason was more plausible.
If Ark knew what the young lackey was thinking, he would definitely praise him immediately. Merely, that young man would not care much. Even if Darin knew the reason, without a prescription and the ordinance to do so. It might be a suicide attempt.
"Forget it .. I'd better find the location of Silver Cross headquarters as soon as the sun rises.
If it's too late and tomorrow a wave of chaos once again occurs, it's too late for me to cry over my stupidity."
Darin said with a wry expression on his face. He then opened the bag, took out three small pieces of meat then drank a mouthful of water. After that, he returned to packing everything. Then ... the young man continued his journey.
Just walking for a few minutes, Darin was shocked when he heard the sound of footsteps. Just then, he instantly gripped tightly onto the spear in his right hand with a solemn expression.
Arriving at a crossroad, Darin finally met a small team of five people. Of course, the five people also looked towards Darin.
Pretty clean appearance, disheveled hair, healthy looking skin, handsome face and cold after the glasses are removed.not to mention, because it has fought many times between life and death, the, the aura around him looked different.
Looking at Darin's appearance, the five people looked at each other. Although Darin's left hand hung limp, but they still knew, from his attitude.
It was clearly a person who had seen quite a lot of blood!
The leader of the small group raised both of his hands. Looking towards Darin, the man said.
"Yes! Are you on a journey, man?! It seems we've never seen you around here."
Hearing that, Darin's expression slightly sagged.
"Are you from the Silver Cross group?"
"You know our group?"
"Yes. Besides, you're pretty famous."
"Is that so??"
The man looked at his four friends. Despite not saying anything, they seemed quite proud of their group.
"You guys are really from the Silver Cross group?"
"true."
"Then you know Julian."
"You ... know our chairman?"
The little team leader was shocked.
"Not really know him. However, there is something very important that I need to tell him. So, can you take me to your base?"
"That's .." the man on the other side seemed hesitant.
"It's about the lives of many people."
Darin said with a stern expression. According to Ark, Julian was the type of man who would protect his people even if he had to cut off his own legs or arms. So, those words were enough to make the five people nod.
"It just so happens that we plan to return after patrolling."
"Thank you."
On that trip, Darin also began to get to know the team members. The team captain was named Yonas, a black man with wavy black hair braided. The captain of the Silver Cross 3 team, a cheerful, kind, and friendly man.
About an hour's drive away, they finally reached Silver Cross headquarters.
Looking towards an eight-story building that looked old, but looked sturdy made Darin become even more curious about the Silver Cross group. However, his expression changed when he entered the building.
What Darin saw was a lot of people there. Most of them are old and middle-aged. Plus a few small children, their numbers were quite a lot. On the spacious first floor, there were already over twenty people. Not to mention from the few floors above, the people who were resting indoors.
Only, those people looked dirty, thin, and pale. Even some people who were previously fat looked haggard. Some even looked dying.
Indeed, unlike the Reaver group headquarters where everyone was treated badly. It's just that, even if treated well, they obviously still don't live better.
"We're going to go to the third floor." Yonas said with a calm expression.
"Good."
As there was no electricity, they climbed to the third floor using stairs.
After a while, they finally arrived in front of a room.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Lake in."
When the door was knocked, the sound of an answer immediately sounded from within. Yonas then opened the door and entered the room together with Darin.
"You are back, Jonas. How's it?"
Julian's figure sat in his chair, staring at Yonas with a smile on his face.
"Sorry, Chairman. There was no food left around. Everything has been cleaned up. Apparently, we should try to eat some random plant to fill the stomach."
"What if we get poisoned?"
"That's ... I don't know, Chief. If they don't try, people will probably starve to death. So, wouldn't we better try?"
Yonas said with a melancholy smile on his face. Hearing Yonas say, not only Julian, but some people in the room also looked sad.
Back then, Darin knew how lucky he was to have lived in the Sword of Sufferings Group.
Shaking his head, Julian looked at Darin's figure.
"Then ... Who is this friend? Do you want to join Silver Cross?" Julian said kindly.
"Include me, my name is Darin. I am a member of the Sword of Sufferings group. The chairman sent me here to deliver a message to you, Mr. Julian."
"The Word of Sufferings? What kind of a gloomy name is that? I haven't heard the name of the group."
Julian frowned. He tried to remember, but eventually chose to give up.
"Sword of Sufferings is a small group with less than ten members."
Hearing Darin's words, many people were holding back laughter. Julian and Yonas were even dumbfounded. At the time, Darin added.
"The chairman said he knows you, Mr. Julian."
"Your question? What's name?" julian asked with a doubtful expression.
"Ark."
Instantly, the room instantly became quiet. Most people who were there had seen Ark with their own eyes, so they were silent. Even Yonas and some people who did not know Ark realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere there.
"Ark ..." Julian gritted his teeth. Gazing towards Darin with a complicated expression, he continued. "Don't tell me he wants to come and rob us of our food? If that's his wish, please tell him .. we can't fulfill his request."
Seeing how Julian responded, Darin immediately hesitated. Clearly, Ark's remark that he was familiar with Julian was not true.
If Julian knew what Ark had said to Darin, he would have already pointed at the person's face while yelling at him.
Ignoring the gloomy atmosphere, Darin took a deep breath then said with a serious expression on his face.
"The chairman told me to come over to deliver important information. It's about the lives of so many."
Hearing Darin's words, the people in the room immediately stared at him with a serious expression.
