Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Mona who came together with Rodney made them feel relieved when they see Rodney was still alive.

Especially the Regressors who had faint smiles on their lips.

Rodney is now walking on his own. He told Mona that he was fine. So Mona let him walk by himself.

"Sorry, I wasn\'t much help," Rodney said once he was in front of the group.

Once again, he tried to make his face looks like someone who feels guilty as convincingly as possible.

"It\'s okay. The important thing now is that the problems we are facing are over," Reed said.

"Now, what should we do?" Sonya asked.

Now the sky had gotten a bit darker than before.

The sun had slipped to the west.

It was already late afternoon and it felt a little calmer now that the two BOSSes were dead. And the First Chapter already ended.

This calm became something very strange. They felt like they could finally catch their breath after running a marathon without stopping.

Clyde looked at the Regressors in turn.

"What do you think? Is there anything we can do now?" Clyde asked.

The four Regressors exchanged glances. Then Rodney spoke.

"We\'ve never had anything like this happened in our turns before. So we didn\'t know what to do."

"This is something that never happened. I still can\'t believe we finished the First Chapter this quickly," Reed added with a smile on his face.

Clyde thought about what he could do.

"Is there some kind of hidden pieces? Items or weapons. Or a monster?" Clyde asked.

Hearing Clyde\'s question, Rodney could barely control himself from flinching.

But he still managed to control himself not to show any reaction.

"Even if there were, we don\'t know anything about hidden items or Quests," Mona answered.

"Yeah. We were too busy hiding to survive in our turns before," Eric added.

Clyde didn\'t say anything. He was only busy with his thoughts.

\'If I search and find something of value, the World Masters will act and increase the difficulty in the next Chapter.\'

Clyde sighed. From his face could be seen the obvious difficulty.

\'Is there a way for those World Masters not to see me?\'

Clyde glanced around. But he found nothing that the World Masters might use to observe him.

He also looked up but found nothing. But Clyde was still sure that they were watching his every move.

In the end, Clyde just sighed. "Let\'s find some food to stock up on. Then head back to the motel and rest."

At Clyde\'s words, they all felt relieved.

Then they rushed to walk away from the place which was still filled with hundreds of zombies.

In another place not too far from Clyde\'s group, Albert was still observing until finally, the group disappeared from the shadows of a building.

After they disappeared behind the building, Albert returned to his group.

"They\'re gone," Albert informed them.

Leon, Wiley, Rosie, and Lola were silent. Don\'t know what to do.

"Is there anything we can take from there?" Leon asked.

Albert shook his head. "I don\'t think so."

"I think we should join them."

The words that Lola blurted out abruptly made all of them turn their heads toward her.

"What do you mean?" Wiley asked in a confused tone.

Lola looked at her friends with an uneasy look.

"You saw how they fought. Especially that guy in the black coat," Lola said.

They manage to take a glance at the fight nearing the end.

Her friends immediately knew where Lola\'s words were going.

"Joining them will make our chances of survival better."

They didn\'t answer right away. Because they still have a lot of things to think about.

Even if they all agreed to join the group, it didn\'t mean they would immediately accept them.

"I think that\'s a great idea," Wiley said. "We won\'t be a burden to them. So, I don\'t think they will reject us outright."

They pondered the idea again for a few minutes.

Consider all their options. Pros and cons when they join that group.

"If we want to act, we\'d better do it soon. Because we don\'t have much time," Albert said.

"How about you, Albert?" Leon asked while looking at Albert.

"I will follow where you all go whatever your decision," Albert answered simply.

"But what do you think of this idea yourself?" Leon asked again.

Albert shrugged. "I think that\'s a pretty good idea. The more people in the group the easier it will be for us to survive."

After hearing Albert\'s reply, their decision became firmer.

"Alright," Leon said. "We\'re going to meet them and ask if we can join in. You all okay with that?"

Rosie, Wiley, and Lola nodded without waiting too long.

With that, it was decided that they would join the group.

The sun was getting lower to the west. Clyde was just finishing loading the last supplies from a restaurant.

Clyde is with Asqa and Sonya. Meanwhile, the Regressors scattered to other places.

Now Clyde was alone in the lobby of the restaurant.

While Sonya and Asqa were still in the kitchen picking up what supplies they could take.

Clyde is thinking about how this apocalypse will unfold tomorrow.

\'Something is wrong. How can I have trouble facing a level 40 monster when I\'m already at level 55?\'

It\'s all so absurd. If indeed this apocalypse followed the proper rules, then he shouldn\'t have any trouble fighting that monster.

But why is he having a hard time? Even though it\'s not that hard, it\'s supposed to be easier than what he has experienced.

The only answer he could think of is that the parties behind this apocalypse did something that messed with the rules.

\'Shit. I should have been more careful.\'

Clyde was a bit regretful because he used his power so openly.

Because he was too happy to get this overwhelming power, Clyde didn\'t think about the risks behind it.

\'But now it\'s too late for me to hide it.\'

Clyde couldn\'t help but sigh. Now all he can do is live what is in front of his eyes as best he can. So he doesn\'t die.

"Excuse me."

Suddenly a girl\'s voice startled Clyde who was thinking.
