Apocalypse Regression's

Departures

"I'm sorry? You said, trade?"

Darin was astonished. He really did not expect that there was such a crazy plan. Trading in a chaotic world like this. It is a hard thing to think about by people like him.

"Yes. We're going to make a trade. More precisely, selling some materials that we do not need. You can see the list of items sold."

"Potato chips, yam chips, cornstarch, meat jerky, and water. You mean, you're selling some preserved material, Chief?"

Potato chips and yam chips are not a snack at all. Both are actually made by peeling the skin, soaking it with warm water, then draining. After that, cut into thin pieces like chips and then dried until completely dry, without water.

For how to consume, usually can be made porridge when boiled together with water. If there is oil, it may be fried.

While corn flour, beef jerky, and water. All three have no change. It is the same as it was in the previous peacetime.

Looking towards the astonished Darin, Ark nodded.

"really. Of course we will continue to preserve food ingredients. But for old materials that we do not spend, we can sell them.

In addition to helping others, we can also get various benefits. For example, get a valuable plant without busy looking for it in the corners of the city."

"That's .. it's very profitable."

After a while, Darin shook his head. He looked towards Ark with a worried expression.

"However, isn't this dangerous, Chief? I mean, this is a crazy, chaotic world!

Rather than trying to buy, they would definitely beg for, even try to rob us."

"If they want to do it, I let them try."

Ark said in a calm tone. But it immediately made the three people in front of him shiver.

"Chairman, are you ..."

"Yes. Of course in addition to gaining a reputation in sales, we must also get a reputation in strength. Killing people to show we're not easy to disturb. That easy.

Of course, we have to cover up our appearance. This is done so that they do not know who we are. In addition, we must also kill everyone who tries to follow us.

So that our reputation will be preserved."

"So that's why you made us masks!" exclaimed Darin with an amazed expression.

"really. Not just a mask, I've also made a hooded coat of Grey Hound leather for you."

"..."

Hearing Grey Hound's words, the corners of the three people's lips twitched.

They clearly remembered, twelve days ago, there was a group of five Grey Hounds trying to sneak into their territory. The creature was similar to a gray wolf, but not a wolf. The size is quite large, looks cool and suitable to be used as a mount.

At first, Ark and Jay intend to tame them. But because of the madness of the creatures, Ark ultimately decided to finish them all. This made Jay lament, unable to even sleep for a few days.

The word Grey Hound made the three of them instantly recall Jay's horrifying appearance!

The Grey Hound itself was not an overly powerful being, only the first level. Although stronger than a mutated rat or a normal zombie, but they could still be defeated easily by Ark and his comrades.

"I'll give you a mask and a fur coat tomorrow. For now, we will discuss the name of the trade group and our pseudonym."

"Not only cover up the appearance, but also change the nickname?" Lisa tilted her head.

"really. It's done so that our identities are completely secure."

"Understand."

The three of them nodded with serious expressions. Seeing that, Ark explained.

"For the name of the trade group, we'll call it the Dark Caravan. As for the nickname ..."

"Hades," Ark said as he pointed to himself.

"Charon" Ark said as he pointed at Darin.

Ark pointed at Lisa. But before saying the nickname, the girl suddenly interrupted and said with sparkling eyes.

"The Legendary Shadow Tamer!"

Hearing the long nickname, the corner of Ark's lips twitched. Looking at the expectant expression on Lisa's face, she finally said.

"The Legendary Shadow Tamer!" firmly Lisa.

"Alright, whatever. But since it's too long, we'll call you Tamer."

"Hmph! It should be so," Lisa said with a satisfied expression.

"So, do you have any objections, Darin?"

"Charon, a figure who transports the souls of the dead to the underworld by ship through the river Styx. Not a bad nickname, so I accept it."

Darin said in a relaxed tone. Doesn't seem to mind at all. Even if dubbed slime, orc, or goblin, the young man did not care at all.

"What about you, Stacy?"

"I received the nickname you gave me, sir."

"Hmmm ... Then, I'll call you Alecto."

"Understand." Stacy did not refuse.

"Huh?! Isn't that a man's nickname?" Lisa said in a surprised tone.

Unlike Stacy, who was either a follower or Lisa, Darin knew what Ark meant.

"Alecto .. one of the three Erinyes, is it?" muttered the young man.

"Erinyes? What's Erinyes? Can't you explain it?"

Lisa was really stunned. He had absolutely no idea what Ark and Darin were saying. Glancing at Stacy, the girl could only fall silent. Stacy's too trusting of Ark. I can no longer be saved!

"Forget over! Do we have to call Debby Cerberus or something?" ask Lisa.

"No. We still call him Debby."

"Why?!" Lisa really doesn't understand.

"His appearance was quite striking and easy to memorize. Besides, even though Debby is smart, she must be a bit confused if we change our nickname. It would confuse him."

"Oh ... Ok. So, Hades, Charon, Alecto, and me." Lisa said with a serious expression. "The Legendary Shadow Tamer!"

"Yes, yeah, yeah." Ark said in a monotone tone. "Then you can come back. Rested well. We'll leave when the sun comes up."

"Good, Chief!"

***

Next morning.

Before the sun rose, Ark and the other three people had prepared.

Ark was wearing a black hooded robe. He also wears a mask with some elaborate carvings. Currently, he was carrying two ordinary swords, one ordinary dagger, one sword from the Rotten Ghost Mantis scythe, and two daggers from the Abyssal Shadow Lynx fangs.

While the other scythe and exo-skeleton back of the Rotten Ghost Mantis were left at the headquarters. Due to the short time, he could not make the two into a sword and chest protector.

Three other people were wearing dark gray hooded robes. They wear masks similar to Ark's, but relatively more innocent.

Darin carried one spear and two daggers. Stacy carried two short swords and two daggers. Lisa was carrying a sword and two daggers.

Yep. The dagger is a weapon that is easier to find and there are quite a lot of them. That was why they did not carry excess main weapons, but carried excess secondary weapons.

"Be careful on the road and come back safely, everyone."

Jay said with a smile on his face. The other Sword of Sufferings members were also behind him, ushering in the departures of Ark, Stacy, Darin, and Lisa.

Darin sat in the coachman's position, while three others entered the carriage of the horse-drawn carriage.

"Calm down, we'll be fine. I'll try to find a souvenir to bring back."

Ark who was sitting at the back said calmly. Hearing that, the other members who stayed smiled.

At that moment, Debby started pulling the train.

The Dark Caravan began its first journey.
