Apocalypse Regression's

The Change of the Outer World

Morning, one week later.

"It's time to practice the skills you're learning."

Ark dressed in neat clothes, complete with two katanas on the right-left and a dagger behind his waist looked towards his comrades.

"Using it in real combat. Using those skills to finish off our enemies."

Ark's words made Jay smile. In addition to Jay, there are also Stacy, Darin, Yonas, and Vadim. The five of them were the ones chosen by Ark. Form a team that would come out together with him to search for second-rate evolutionary herb-making materials.

Not just that. They will also gather as much information as possible about the changes taking place in the city.

"..."

Natasha just stared at the team led by Ark with her hands clenched. Abigail is quite strong, but must stay to care for the plant and look after her two cubs. Shani, Lisa, and Old Franky themselves are arguably weak because they have not consumed an evolutionary herb.

Yonas and Vadim alone had now drunk five servings of the herb, making them more reliable. Even if the Ark did not require their strength to fight, the two were still needed to help carry and move items.

Unlike the weak Shani, Lisa, and Old Franky. Natasha is also different from Abigail who has a strong reason to stay in the base. However, the woman was actually left at the headquarters to temporarily lead the defense.

Yep. That's how Ark answered the other members' questions wondering why Natasha didn't go.

"The liar ..."

Natasha mumbled softly. He looked at Ark with his hands clenched tightly. The woman had actually asked him why.

That answer was also different from what was said to the other members.

***

Previous night.

"What do you mean by this decision, Ark?"

Finished the meeting, Natasha immediately approached the Ark. He really did not accept the decision made by the head of the Sword of Sufferings.

Ark turned his head towards Natasha with a flat expression. Doesn't seem to care at all.

"Didn't I explain everything? I'm asking you to stay and guard the base. Watch out for any attacks the enemy might launch."

"Stop joking! The other group was even at a loss for shelter and food, who wanted to attack this place!"

"Zombie or beast" said Ark flat.

"The location has obviously been cleared! Even if there were some zombies, they could definitely be dealt with by Abigail's sister.

Why don't you ask Stacy to stay? Isn't he enough?

Besides, I'm stronger than that girl. I'm definitely more reliable!"

"Yes. In the face of zombies and beasts, you are more reliable."

Ark replied with an indifferent expression.

"What do you mean?"

Natasha raised her eyebrows, looking towards Ark with a dissatisfied expression.

"As I said, you're just better at dealing with zombies and beasts. You are unreliable in a variety of real situations."

"I—"

"If you meet someone else and I ask you to take their lives, will you be able to do it?"

Ark looked right into Natasha's eyes. The girl immediately gritted her teeth. His hands clenched tightly. He then replied in an annoyed tone.

"Of course we can't kill anyone else for no reason!"

"That's what I mean," Ark said with a flat expression.

"I really don't understand what's in your head. Why do you need to do such a thing!"

"You think too much. I don't need to take someone like you on this kind of mission."

Ark walked to the sofa. He sat back down and looked back at Natasha and continued.

"When I say finish, all I have to do is finish. When I say take, all that needs to be done is take.

Jay, Darin, Yonas, and Vadim. They are strong enough to do such a thing. Stacy .. You know it yourself. Even if I told him to jump off the roof of the building, he would.

I'll say it one more time. Kindness, heartfelt compassion, I have absolutely no need of such things. I'm not going to carry a variable that might mess things up just because of his feelings.

People like you .. aren't needed in this team."

"What do you really want to do, Ark?"

Natasha asked with a heavy tone.

Ark who listened to the question closed his eyes. After a while, he sighed and then replied.

"living."

***

Ark and his team finally came out of their territory.

Exiting the elite residential area, they saw old buildings that looked terrible. They saw the deserted city like a ghost town. The view has not changed at all.

It's just that there are differences in certain places. Besides there were many wild and gloomier plants, there seemed to be many black stains on the walls or roads.

Yes ... it is a blood stain that has dried up.

"Hey, Ark. Do you think Debby can drive? I mean, his body is a little bigger than a horse, right? I'm sure his strength and speed must be faster than a horse in general."

Ark and his team walked to save energy. Jay spoke to break the silence. Since zombies and ferocious beasts rarely appeared during the day, they could travel more safely. Reduce a little bit of alertness.

"That's possible," replied Ark flatly.

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

Ark was still walking with a flat expression, not turning his head towards the excited Jay. He then added.

"As long as the creature can accept you. Also, you should also have good riding skills. If not, you might fall and break your neck.

There is also the possibility of falling and being trampled to death."

"..."

Jay is speechless. Just then, Darin's somewhat doubtful and curious voice sounded.

"If you may know, where are we going, Chief?"

"You seem to be watching well, Darin." Ark replied in a flat tone.

"Of course it's impossible for us to go around vaguely looking for information. In addition, I see that your steps are quite firm, hinting that you are not confused. Have a place to go."

Darin said with a serious expression. Meanwhile, Jay just blinked. He just followed Ark without much thought. After all, the man felt that thinking about it was not his job.

Truly the type of carefree man who was so relaxed. Go where the wind takes it.

"Smart." Ark said flatly, but clearly gave a compliment.

"So, where are we going, Chief?"

Not immediately replying, Ark asked.

"Where do you think the most overgrown places in the city are?"

"Plant ..." murmured Darin.

After thinking long enough. He finally looked towards the Ark with a surprised expression.

"Is that a city park, Chief?"

"Yep." Ark replied briefly.

"Didn't a lot of people gather there when the apocalypse happened?

Also, there must be a lot of people passing around the area to look for food supplies in nearby shops. Even if there are fruit trees or valuable plants, aren't they already taken by others?"

"You're a little wrong, Darin."

"You mean, Chief?"

"To be true, many people gathered and searched there. But that doesn't mean they all survived and succeeded. There's also the possibility that they all didn't survive a zombie or mutant beast attack."

At that moment, Ark stopped walking then turned his head towards his comrades. The corner of his lips slightly raised. Showing a cynical smile on his flat face.

"Most likely, those people have become fertilizers to fertilize the plants in the city park ...

Create a unique and dangerous place in the middle of this ghost town."
