On the way back, it appeared the entire team was carrying a full load.
Their appearance looked messy, but they looked delighted. Even the indifferent-looking Ark also emitted warmth. Although he looked cold, he was obviously also happy. It was because they had gathered the ingredients for the second stage evolution potion.
Of course, with the Rotten Ghost Mantis scythe as an added bonus!
Ark glanced towards Stacy who had a red nose and puffy eyes with a complicated gaze.
Unlike the other members who seemed worried and anxious when she did not return, Stacy always tried to calm down. But after seeing her return safely, the girl immediately cried. Keep hugging him without letting go of the young man.
Seems to have a sense of dependence on Ark.
Rather than looking like a cunning and cruel girl, in Ark's eyes, Stacy was more akin to a submissive little girl. Follow whatever their parents tell them. There was absolutely no thought of rejecting the order.
"really crazy. Wounds that bad can really heal. If it was in the previous world, you would have already died from losing a lot of blood."
"Yes. I'm it's okay. Although it did not heal completely and took quite a lot of time, at least a wound like this could heal naturally."
"Are you kidding me, Ark? Can such a heavy wound heal right away? Doesn't that look like a monster?"
Jay chuckles. Meanwhile Ark just shook his head. He clearly remembered, in his previous life, there were people who were very difficult to die.
By the time his hand was cut off, he simply picked it up and attached it. The hand is immediately back in contact. Really very strong ability.
Unless targeted at the fatal point or instantly obliterated in a single strike, he could barely die.
Ark shook his head, no longer wanting to think about what he should not be thinking right now. The young man took a long breath.
'Better think about it next time. Now was not the time to think of this kind of useless thing.'
***
After going through a long journey, Ark and his comrades finally returned to the headquarters.
"Yahoo!!!"
"Yahoo!!!"
"..."
Looking at Nathan and Nala who were hugging his legs while crying loudly as if they were injured and dying, Ark was completely speechless. The two boys hugged his feet like a koala hugging a tree.
Absolutely no intention to let go!
"Nathan, Nala .. You cannot be like that. Mr. Ark needs to rest. If so, you're bothering Mr. Ark."
Abigail hurriedly called her two children. The woman was completely shocked when she saw the two boys acting in such a manner. It seems reluctant to part with Ark because it has become familiar with him.
Nathan and Nala stop hugging Ark's legs. They retreated then looked up, staring at the young man with teary eyes.
Sighing deeply, Ark gently rubbed their heads.
"Just calm down, I'm strong. I won't die so easily."
Hearing Ark's words, the two boys immediately smiled. Kids like them have simple thoughts. The two looked at the place where Ark placed one of the hands of Rotten Ghost Mantis.
"Look at that, Nala!"
"Wow! Is that a claw? Sickle?"
"This must be the trophy brought by Mr. Ark!"
"Trophy?"
"Like cup! The Ark master must have defeated a powerful and evil monster! Bring this as a trophy, a memento to remember his achievements!"
"Wow! Defeat the evil monsters!"
Nathan and Nala looked towards Ark with glittering eyes. It looked bright, as if many stars were glittering in their eyes.
Ark had no idea what kind of game Nathan was playing before. Only, the young man definitely did not just bring such an object to be used as a display. After all, he sacrificed two katanas just to get the thing!
The display? Too futile!
"What an incredible. You really survived with that kind of wound. Could this be an evolutionary benefit?"
Old Franky stroking chin. Staring towards the Ark with a look full of admiration. Not amazed by the strength and technique of the young man, but amazed by the greatness of evolution.
As a very dedicated scientist, Old Franky was very interested in things that smelled of research. Zombies, mutated plants, wild beasts, human evolution. The old man was very fascinated by what he saw now.
It looks strange, but that's how he is. As long as there was the granddaughter by his side, Old Franky did not care about anything else at all. Other than her precious granddaughter, she preferred research. It is not at all concerned with how messed up the world is or how desperate humanity is.
"Sorry, Old Franky. I am normal and like girls. Even if anything is abnormal, it seems those people will not choose an old man like you."
"I'M NORMAL TOO! I EVEN HAD A WIFE AND A CHILD! I HAVE A GRANDCHILD!"
Old Franky shouted furiously. Completely instantly irritated by Ark's flat words. Taking a deep breath, he explained.
"Let me say, I'm just amazed at what humans can do when adapting. It's completely deviated from many scientists' previous guesses."
"Of course." Ark relaxed. "After all, who would have thought the world would become this chaotic?"
"You have a point." Old Franky nodded.
After having a conversation, Ark stared at his friends. He then said.
"Since we made it back safely and got a lot of bountiful harvest, let's party tonight!
Eat much! Enjoy this evening with fun!"
Hearing Ark's words, people smiled happily.
After getting everything sorted out, Ark and his team took turns showering. After that, they finally held a party until late at night.
Really take the time to entertain yourself in this gloomy world!
***
Twenty days later.
In the empty room of the third floor, Ark bit the fabric that was coagulated into his mouth. He endured more severe pain than anything he had experienced before. Right now, he was trying to break through to stage two.
Two hours just passed. Ark rose up while wiping the black dirty liquid with a blood-like smell coming out from his pores. His hands clenched tightly, then made a punching movement.
Swooshes!
Sensing his strength now, Ark smiled in satisfaction.
"With this power, having to finish off the Rotten Ghost Mantis is no longer a problem."
After giving himself time to get used to his own body, Ark went to take a bath and changed into clean clothes. After that, he went down to the first floor and met Jay there.
"I wonder, every time it works, why are you getting so good-looking?" Jay said in a half-joking tone.
Hearing Jay's words, Ark shook his head. He stared at the man then slightly lowered his head.
"Thank you, Jay."
"Eh? I don't think you're okay! You are truly grateful to me!" jay said with a surprised expression.
Ark felt somewhat irritated, but ended up just shrugging helplessly.
On his return, Jay managed to secure seven pomegranates. It should have been eight, but in the end one fell while fleeing.
One fruit can be used to make four herbs. So seven fruits can be used to make 28 herbs. Merely, the amount of level two zombie meat needed was also more.
Moreover, in order to break through level two, it was necessary to consume 20 bottles of level two evolution herbs!
Jay decides to leave it all to Ark. Not only did he tell his best friend to evolve first, but he also helped in the hunt for level two zombies in these twenty days.
Of course, not without profit. Jay himself has also drunk four servings of evolutionary herbs. Not much, but it clearly made a difference in strength with the other members.
Just then, Old Franky's figure rushed towards them with a pale expression. Looking towards the Ark, the old man exclaimed.
"Help me, Chief!"
"What's wrong?" ask Ark.
"Lisa! Lisa and Debby haven't returned from patrol yet, but it's almost midnight! Something must be wrong!"
Hearing that, Ark instantly recalled some dusty memories. Thinking of various conjectures, the young man's expression finally turned bad.
It seemed that the events he wanted to prevent were still happening!
