Plundering in the Apocalypse



Under the effect of mana radiation. The new gene reagent became even more active and the young man's gene started mutating at a visible.

His DNA started changing which lead to the deformation of his material body. All his cells were slowly being replaced under the blue light of mana radiation.

His body was being crushed and healed at the same time. This process brought him a great deal of pain.

*AAAAHHHH*

*GRAAHHH*

For his constant screams, the researchers didn't have much of a reaction as they patiently looked over in the direction of his chamber while also keeping an eye on his physical data displayed on the big screen.

From their reaction, it can be judged that they seem used to it.

"How long will it take for his genes to completely mutate?"

Looking at numerical data in the screen in front of him Dr. Garfield asked the female researcher beside him.

"If nothing goes wrong then 17 hrs sir."

Hearing the estimated time Dr. Garfield nodded. Not too surprised. It was under his expectations.

"Keep observing the changes and give me the observation results of A - 006."

Hearing this the researcher who recorded Azure's data came forward to give the report.

Reading the report there was a frown on Garfield's face.

"Condition is normal. But still unconscious."

This made Garfield disappointed for a moment. But soon he regained his calm and his tensed brows relax.

[A - 006]

Codename - Azure. It can be said that she was his most successful experiment until now. Unfortunately, even though her body is fine. She is still in an unconscious state.

Azure has been injected with the previous game reagent which didn't have the DNA of Drillhorn DNA. Even under the aggressive effects of the serum she still survived.

This made Garfield hopeful for the success of the serum. But to his disappointment, she had been in an unconscious state all this time.

"Continue supplying her nutrients and notify me if there's any change."

"Yes, sir."

With that, the researcher left hastily.

Garfield on the other hand sighed.

'I just hope this time it's a success.'

Suppressing his stress he continued monitoring the gene mutation process.

On the other side. The container of experiment A - 006.

Azure eyes fluttered open and then closed immediately because of the weird liquid surrounding her.

'Where am I?'

Yes, she regained her consciousness. But out of caution in the unfamiliar situation, she didn't show any movement and pretended to be unconscious.

'Why are these things attached to my arms? It hurts.'

Azure felt a slight pain in her head and her memory started recovering.

'I remember! I was kidnapped and they did something to me.'

Remembering her experience Azure felt deep hatred in her heart. But she was also scared.

'No, I need to calm down. They might still be observing me.'

Azure wanted to know what was happening around her. But she didn't dare open her eyes for fear of being discovered.

But a moment later she was surprised. Because she could sense everything around her.

'W-what did they do to me?'

She was horrified to find herself in a container. She also sensed there were many other containers near her and inside them, there were still other people.

She also sensed a weird outline of some figure which she didn't think was a human.

'What is that? Some kind of animal?'

If Azure had seen with her eyes open she would scared to find that the creature was extremely similar to a fictional species. A goblin.

Azure, had been kidnapped 3 months ago and she has been unconscious for around 2 months. That's why she had no idea about the cataclysm and the changes in this world.

So she could never imagine the creature she determined as some weird animal was actually a monster.

'I have to escape from here. But how?'

While Azure was still thinking of a way to escape from here. The researchers were completely oblivious that the experimental subject [A - 006] has awaken and she was their first success.

Unfortunately for them, no one was there to give a detailed check on her as most of the researchers were focused on Drillhorn Deer and the new mutation experiment which is undergoing currently.

Aston City.

Inside a meeting hall, several familiar figures could be seen.

Alex Wetland, Marine Scott, Selene Fred, Eddie Jones, Aurora Luxembourg, Emily McCarthy, Elena Adger, James Felbert, Jenny Felbert.

Simon and Celeste are with Mastisk right now. So Elena didn't disturb them. Who knows how will that disguised Dwarf react?

Elena stood up and with a calm expression on her face as she said. "It seems everyone is here. Before we start. Let me introduce you to the new members of the guild."

Pointing at the two beautiful women with calm temperament beside her she said.

"They are Aurora and Emily. They fought alongside Shin and Alice in the Polaris City Demon incident yesterday. You might have seen them in the video."

With Elena's reminder, several people nodded looking at Aurora and Emily curiously.

Elena looked at Aurora and Emily and said, "I'll brief them on the situation first and then introduce them to you."

They both nodded and were fine with her arrangements because Elena has taken the leadership role in the absence of Shin.

Even if Aurora was stronger than her and has some leadership qualities (That's what she thinks). She knew that she was unfamiliar with everyone here. So the decision-making should be left with Elena who was the most familiar with everyone here and also has the right mind for leadership.

Elena started recounting everything that has happened. When the guild members heard the inhuman acts of SMUP. They couldn't sit still and anger surged in their hearts.

"Those bastards are too ruthless!" A bulky man said while breathing heavily. Holding back his anger.

"Calm down Alex," A blue-haired said to the bulky man. Then looking at Elena she asked, "What do you mean when you said it's related to Shin?"

Elena took a deep breath and then started explaining Shin's background. Most of them didn't know about Wolner Clan but when they heard things about ancient martial artists and cultivation of life energy. They felt their worldviews shatter.

"A-Are y-you telling me such martial artists existed even before the cataclysm?" Even the timid Marine asked in surprise.

Elena nodded and said, "There are many things in this world hidden from the public eye. Magic has existed in this world even before the cataclysm for many centuries in the name of mages and mage craft. Those heritages are now with the Mage clans and those mages practice mage craft. It's just that they have been using Life Energy instead of Mana."

Her explanation made everyone feel as if this world that they have been living in for decades was unfamiliar.

"How long have you known about all these things Elena?" Jenny asked curiously.

To her question, Elena shrugged and said. "It hasn't been long. I only knew about a few things from Aunty Reina before."

Then pointing at Emily and Aurora, she said. "The rest of the details were explained by them."

This surprised everyone as their eyes subconsciously moved in the direction of Aurora and Emily in unison.

Under their confused looks, Elena stated. "As I said. Many things are hidden from the public. Just like their existence."

Without waiting for Elena to continue, Aurora stated, "We are vampires."

Everyone looked at her in shock and disbelief. Then looked at Elema as if asking whether it was true.

Under her affirmative nod. They also believed her.

"This is... too amazing!" James said with a gulp.

Everyone shared similar feelings with him.

Though they had a lot of questions for Aurora and Emily. But before anyone could ask Elena's words made them stop.

"We can talk about other things later. Now that everyone knows the current situation I won't everyone's answer."

Giving a deep look at everyone she uttered.

"Are you willing to fight with us? Let me remind you. Once you participate we will end up fighting these powerful clans, mages, and even vampires."

"As you guys don't have any conflicts with them. We don't want to force you. As per the contracts you signed we won't force you all to take human lives and everything depends on your choice."
