Apocalypse Regression's

Nothing Is That Beautiful

"You .. You must be kidding me, right? There's no way only 5% survived, right?"

Hearing Jay's question, Ark shook his head lightly. After a long sigh, the young man said.

"Because you're from a big family, your parents should be fine. However, you also have to prepare yourself for everything that has happened."

"The ark! Don't you have a family, Ark? Aren't you afraid if something happens to them?"

Looking towards the pale-looking Jay, Ark had a wry face on his face.

"I have a little brother who is unreliable. Of course, I was worried about the boy. However ...

Since there was nothing I could do, I just hoped that he would be fine. Besides, what I can do is just hang on and try to look for it when circumstances have made it possible."

"We have to wait for the situation to improve?"

"The situation may never improve, Jay. We'll try to find them when we have enough power.

While thinking of seeing the world return to normal .. let's just forget it for now."

Hearing Ark's pessimistic reply made Jay feel even more depressed.

"Forget over! Come on help me!"

Ignoring Jay, Ark left the place. After he got off, the young man immediately searched for a bucket in the warehouse. Then, the young man went to the backyard.

There, looks an old well. Because the faucet and water pump were not working, the young man used a bucket with a pulley. Ark draws water.

Looking towards that crystal clear water source, Ark nodded in satisfaction.

"As I heard first, it seems that besides the park, there are reliable water sources to survive."

Despite having little doubt, Ark tried to drink the water. Sensing a fresh sensation drenching his throat, the young man smiled. After a few days in a tense position, the accumulated fatigue began to sweep.

Ark then cleaned the bucket. After pouring water into the bucket, the young man brought it to the roof.

Arriving at the roof, Jay is confused when he sees Ark carrying a bucket of water.

"What are you trying to do, Ark?"

"Curious? Then help me."

After saying that, Ark immediately walked towards the zombie pile. He then pulled one corpse casually, but dodged its claws and teeth.

After that, Ark picked up the fire axe. Along with the sound of "crack!" like opening a walnut shell, one of the zombie skulls was dismantled.

Jay who was about to help instantly turned pale. He took a few steps back before vomiting.

Ignoring Jay, Ark thrusts his hand into the skull. The young man felt a soft, slimy, and chewy sensation from the brain he was palpating.

After removing it, Ark looked to the adjacent spot between the cerebrum and cerebellum. There, there was a protrusion of clean white meat about the size of a chicken egg.

Taking out a knife, Ark sliced straight away, picked up the white meat bulge then threw it into a bucket filled with water. After that, he did the same things to the heads of the other zombies.

One, five, ten, fifteen. Ark only stopped when one bucket had been filled with such pure white flesh.

"Huh ... it's really exhausting."

Looking at the pile of corpses, then towards the white and refreshing meat inside the bucket ... Jay was astonished.

"What is that, Ark?"

"When I finish a zombie, I subconsciously see it. Because it's the only part of the body that looks very clean, so ...

It seems that part can be eaten."

Hearing Ark's words, Jay saw the meat in the bucket. Indeed, because he was hungry, he felt that the meat looked delicious. However, when remembering it was part of a zombie (which was originally human), the young man again turned pale.

"You wouldn't be serious about eating that, would you?"

"If you feel disgusted, let me try it. After all, I've spent a lot of energy in these two days.

We cannot survive without eating and drinking. The reason we have survived until now is clear because our minds are tense, adrenaline-fueled to survive.

But it doesn't last forever. So, in order to survive, we need a source of food and drink.

Behind the house, there was a source of clear water that could be drunk. You can drink there."

"Then ... What are you doing?"

"Take care of all this."

Ark looked towards the corpses that were around. Obviously, not only did it ruin the scene, but the smell was also very unpleasant.

Not wanting to trouble Ark anymore, Jay decides to help.

Around noon, the roof was completely cleaned.

Sitting there, Ark and Jay looked exhausted. When he saw a bucket of white meat, Jay couldn't help but gulp.

"Is ... it really edible?"

"I'll try it first if you don't believe."

"But, if we eat it .. wouldn't we be cannibals?"

Hearing that, Ark immediately made an excuse.

"Take it that zombies are animals that wear the guise of humans. Humans usually eat the flesh of other creatures, right?

Let's just say we eat exotic animal meat."

"..."

Hearing how Ark tried to persuade him in a strange way, Jay fell silent. It was completely impossible to imagine that the meat before was the flesh of an exotic beast. Anyway ...

Jay has seen how Ark harvested the meat with his own eyes!

Trying to shift the conversation, Jay suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, Ark, is there any kind of crystal or pearl in a zombie?"

"Then can we absorb energy and cultivate?"

"Yes!" Jay nodded.

"I'm sorry if I ruined your imagination, man. However, there is nothing like it!"

"..."

"What looks special is that clean meat bulge. So, if it's considered useful .. you should eat it."

"..."

Looking towards the meat in the bucket, Jay fell silent. Turning his gaze towards Ark, the man said.

"Is there no other way?"

"Another way?"

"Yes! A more normal and humane way."

"..."

Hearing Jay's complaint, the corner of Ark's lips twitched. He had not expected, in this chaotic world, there really were still men who were picky about food like him!

"No! There is no such thing as normal and humane in this chaotic world!"

Saying that, Ark suddenly picked up a piece of white meat. He then walked towards Jay with a grim expression.

"Eh? The ark? A fella? What are you trying to do, man?

No. gabe. You can't do this, man! No—"

Ark who had an indifferent expression on his face instantly stuffed the white flesh into Jay's mouth. He locked the man's hand and stomped his foot, making him unable to wriggle!

Jay continued to bite and eventually forced to swallow the meat. After swallowing it, the man fell silent.

Ark who saw him decided to retreat. Sitting in his place, Jay had a complicated expression.

"It feels like sashimi? Refreshing, somewhat sweet, and a little fatty?

Waitaminute! It's meat ..."

Jay held onto his stomach with an expression of pain. He felt nauseous, but could not spit it out. The man pointed towards the Ark. But when he saw his best friend biting the meat and chewing it in calmly ... Jay was silent again.

"You really ate it, Ark?"

Hearing that question, Ark shrugged his shoulders.

"Certainly? Should I not eat anything and continue to fight with the zombies to the death?"

Ark's skeptical question instantly made Jay lose his word.
