Chapter 70 Questioning

Clyde continued to walk around the city while eating bread. Until now he had finished five packs of bread within ten minutes.

Here he no longer sees any survivors which indicate that most likely most of the city's residents are dead.

Viewed from any angle, this apocalypse is indeed very heavy for ordinary humans. There shouldn't be any humans who could survive even the first day.

Now that the third day has come, Clyde believes that the only remaining humans living in this city might just be himself, his group members, and one other group that Clyde doesn't know where they are now.

When he looked up, the gray clouds were moving again.

They had not yet covered the sun but the morning atmosphere was already dark.

Clyde even believed that it might rain today. Heavy rain and storms will hit this already gloomy and ruined city.

Perhaps the rain would wash away the scattered corpses of humans and monsters.

"Maybe this world will be destroyed on the sixth day," Clyde muttered to himself as he glanced around.

Whatever happens to Clyde or the rest of his group, this world will surely meet its fate. That is the destruction that has been talked about since day one.

"After that, what will happen to me?"

That was the question Clyde most wanted to know the answer to.

Because of that he always intended to exchange whatever was offered to him and replace it with answers to pieces of information he could get.

If Clyde doesn't know anything about what will happen, then he will only be a slave who is used by anything who has power over this apocalypse.

World Masters and Celestials. Particularly, Clyde wants to know what they really are.

After all, he could still get skills, coins, and experience from hunting monsters and completing Night Quests. There's nothing to worry about that.

Clyde heard a growl and quick footsteps as he passed a building. The building was quite low, maybe only five or six floors.

All the curtains were closed so that no sunlight came in. A place where the Wendigos would most likely hide.

Clyde pulled the Elderglass Sword from its scabbard and walked toward the building. While in his heart he hoped to find one of the three different colored Wendigos he had to kill.

When he went inside, the building was completely dark. Luckily, Clyde managed to pick up a flashlight at a shop he had just passed.

Clyde turned on his flashlight and looked for the light switch. He expected some attack to come at him when he turned on the flashlight. But nobody came.

Even so, Clyde was sure that there was a Wendigo here. His instincts told him so.

*CLICK!*

As soon as Clyde pressed the switches, the lights in the room turned on almost simultaneously. Turning a dark room into a bright one.

"Khaaaaakhhhh!!!"

Hearing the disturbing screams, Clyde wasn't scared but grinned instead. The flashlight disappeared back into his Inventory and he was ready to fight.

A Wendigo jumped onto the table from under it. It stared at Clyde with those yellow eyes.

Not long after, the herd came. They emerged from cupboards, under desks, and from the stairs leading up.

There were about twenty of them on this floor.

'If there are that many on this floor, it's possible that I'll encounter almost the same number on another floor.'

Then at least Clyde would get enough Wendigo to fulfill Agatha's Personal Request target.

The Wendigos lunged at Clyde with their thin, clawed gray arms.

Clyde gripped the hilt of the Elderglass Sword tightly. Then approach them.

He decided not to use [Skill: Pure Lightning] directly because it would only drain his Magic Power faster.

Instead, Clyde used his fighting strength and the sharpness of the Elderglass Sword in his hand.

For now, Clyde felt like he could still face them as long as he wasn't cornered.

In their room, Asqa and Sonya are daydreaming while eating potato chips. Their mouths never seem to stop chewing.

Coupled with the hunger that keeps coming. The two girls felt that they could never stop chewing.

"Is it true that we really can't get fat, huh?" Sonya asked, staring at the piece of potato chips in her hand.

Asqa turned and looked at Sonya in disbelief. "Are you still thinking about that?"

Sonya looked back at her. "You don't know how hard it is when you are fat? You'll be bullied and told you look like a pig."

Asqa flinched and put on a horror face.

"That's probably the most unimaginable thing for you," Sonya added.

Yes, of course Asqa never imagined that he would be treated like that.

Since a long time ago her body was always skinny and not too tall. She is often referred to as a girl who looks like a doll.

"You say that as if you've felt it before," Asqa said.

Sonya sighed. Her eyes stared at the far side as if looking at the bleak past.

"I have," Sonya said. "I used to be that fat girl and was called like that pig."

Asqa is surprised because she doesn't see those marks on Sonya's body now.

Sonya chuckled. "I tried so hard to diet and exercise to get this body."

Sonya pulled her shirt and showed her belly. Sonya widened her eyes seeing the abs on Sonya's stomach.

"Fortunately I'm still young. So my body can still change quickly," Sonya said while covering her stomach again.

Asqa couldn't say much. 'Maybe I should also start training my body.'

"What do you think about Clyde?"

Suddenly, Sonya asked. Aska looked up at him.

"What do you mean?" Asqa asked.

Sonya turned to her. "Why didn't Clyde take us? And I think he's been keeping secrets from us."

Asqa was silent and stared at Sonya for a few moments.

"I can't understand it." Sonya shook her head. "Sometimes he can look like he wants to help us. But sometimes he gives off the impression that he might leave us at any moment."
