Apocalypse Regression's
Selfishnesses
The night of the same day.
"Even after going through the first evolution, moving and burying the bodies of hundreds of zombies was not easy! Not to mention ...
Why should I destroy and dig the sidewalk?!"
On the front and left of the fort walls (headquarters), the sidewalk of the road was destroyed by Jay. In addition, there are quite deep excavations where the zombie body parts are placed.
Meanwhile, on the walls of the fortress itself, there appeared many vines that flourished. Yep. In just over half a month, the Devil's Vines had grown so fertile.
"Rest for dinner. We'll continue tomorrow."
Ark walked casually towards Jay who was still busy digging.
"really? Do I have to do this tomorrow?"
"I'll help you tomorrow. Today, I'm a little tired."
"..."
Jay doesn't talk much. After all, from the entire zombie wave, Ark killed approximately 3/4 zombies. While the remaining 1/4 of that number was settled by four people namely Jay, Stacy, Natasha, and Abigail.
Looking at the numbers alone, it made people's heads instantly numb.
"By the way, I want to ask you something important, Ark."
"What?"
"Please promise to help me if you can."
"Try to be mysterious?" Ark raised his eyebrows. "Tell me."
"Teach me to use Sword Qi!"
"..."
Ark's silent. He looked at his hopeful friend. After a while, the young man finally declared a fact.
"It's not sword qi or sword energy."
"Huh?"
"This is a technique I created with my innate talent."
"During this time you hid your innate talent? I can't believe it! Tell me, what your true talent is!"
Looking towards Jay who was so stubborn, Ark let out a long sigh. His eyes then changed, a faint-looking blue energy enveloped a stone then made the stone float. Then, the stone fell upon Ark's hand.
"Telekinesis."
"So that blue energy was created because of your telekinesis talent? All those beautiful slashes?"
"To be more precise, I controlled the air with my telekinesis talent. I press, compress, then throw towards the opponent.
As you know, air also has weight and .. forget it, the point is like that. Pretty tricky. So, even if you were to awaken the talent of telekinesis, you might not be able to make that move.
After all, controlling the compressed air was dangerous. If it was miscontrolled and destroyed near its own user, it was likely that person would be severely injured."
"Then how did you do it? I've never seen you practice and—"
"I used to be a killer and have good skills in using weapons. Besides, I often practice controlling the air in the room before and after sleeping."
"Don't bully others by mentioning your work first, woy!"
Jay shouted with a sour expression.
"After all, you have awakened a good special talent. You also absorb Miracle Root which is arguably strong.
You could say, you are the top fighter among all the human survivors. Why do you look dissatisfied?"
"What do you know, Ark! It's a man's romance!
Using sword qi, riding a flying sword, becoming a handsome knight who saved the beautiful girls, showing off in front of the girls and gaining their love!
Isn't that cool? Just imagining it makes my blood boil! Aren't you like that too, man?!"
Ark's lip twitching. Never mind to fly, telekinesis itself is very difficult to develop. Indeed, at the final stage, it was still possible to make someone make themselves float. However, the requirements are very high.
Moreover, even if it could fly, why would it have to fly on a sword? It is better to fly immediately because it is more flexible, it also lightens the burden that must be borne.
As for magic swords or such, it was obviously impossible to make. After all there were no runes, mana, or any such strange magic in this world. Granted, there was a very powerful weapon, but it was made and designed in a special way, combining a lot of knowledge and materials within.
"Sorry, my friend, but I have to destroy your fantasy. Even if you can blow up a car with just one punch ...
Sword qi or flying up the sword is absolutely impossible for you to do."
Somehow, after saying that, Ark heard the illusion that something was cracking, or that it might be breaking into pieces.
Yes ... It is Jay's hope and dream!
Ignoring Jay who was standing stunned as if becoming a statue by Medusa's gaze, Ark again said.
"Come back to eat and rest. Tomorrow we'll continue this work."
***
The next day afternoon.
"Finally done."
Jay breathed a sigh of relief. With the cooperation of the entire Sword of Sufferings members, the work to dig the ground around the fortress wall and bury the zombies could be completed.
When viewed from the outside, the wall of the fence surrounding the headquarters looked very sturdy and rather horrifying because of the many vines attached. Not to mention, the plant was filled with sharp and poisonous thorns.
At the very least, there was no way that any ordinary zombies or mutant rats would climb over it. The security of the headquarters has finally been upgraded!
After finishing all that, they all had lunch together.
After lunch, they should rest. However, just then Natasha went to meet Ark in the second-floor lounge.
After going through the disaster together, all the rooms of the core members of the Sword of Sufferings were moved to the second floor. Nevertheless, the second floor was still so spacious and quiet. Not to mention the third floor where Ark was.
In the second-floor lounge, Ark sat by the window shutting his eyes. Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes.
"What's up, Natasha? Looks like there's something you want to talk about."
"Don't pretend to be stupid, Ark. You should know why I came."
Looking towards Ark who was looking at him with a flat expression, Natasha gritted her teeth.
"After the fight in the previous zombie wave, I realized that evolution was the key to the salvation of mankind.
After evolving, there was also the opportunity to awaken a special talent. I don't know the presentation of the resurgence of that talent, but at least ... Abigail's sister, Jay, and you managed to awaken a special talent.
However, even without special talent, after evolution, we are already strong enough to fight zombies. So ...
Why don't you share this knowledge with the center? That way, the people who are still alive can—"
"I refuse."
Ark answered flatly. That answer clearly made Natasha quite surprised. He knew that the man was cold and cruel. However, the woman also knows that Ark actually has a good side and cares about life. So the answer is a bit unexpected.
"Do you intend to keep all this yourself? Will you be so selfish?"
"I'm being selfish."
Ark answered flatly. Looking towards Natasha who was gritting her teeth and looking angry, the young man stood up. He walked towards Natasha while continuing to talk.
"If I give this source of information to the people above who are left, what will happen then? They will be looking for ingredients for the making of the evolutionary potion?
If true, then what? They would make a lot of evolution fluid for their subordinates? Against zombies and beasts, it was truly an incredible thing. However ...
Are you sure they'll be fair? Are you sure they won't keep the recipe themselves and hide it from civilians?
Are you sure that civilians will not be treated like pets like in the old days where the nobles ruled? Are you sure I won't be silenced after prescribing that?
Are you sure, if everyone knew the recipe it would make a human life more worthy? Are you sure, all the cruelty and oppression will be solved with just a piece of paper?"
Stopping right in front of Natasha, Ark asked.
"Tell me, if I give you this recipe .. will you bear all the consequences and burdens of this world on your shoulders?"
Hearing Ark's words, Natasha could not say anything. His brain thought far away, but could not find the answer.
Natasha looked into Ark's eyes. For some reason, looking at those black eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into a dark and deep abyss. When she landed, Natasha felt her gaze change. Then, the woman broke out in cold sweat because ...
The place he stood was an ocean made of countless human corpses!
