Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

A Crazy Person.

[Third Person POV],

10 people were conversing in front of the residence Ace and his team was staying in. Anyone who has survived the apocalypse for five days would understand that staying in an open space like this for an extended period makes them obvious prey for monsters and zombies.

These people only dared to do this after discovering that there were few zombies in the community where they currently were. But weren't they concerned about flying monsters?

Well, if they did come across one, it was just their luck.

All ten people gathered were males, and they all had one thing in common: they all had huge body frames with tattoos scattered all over their bodies, some of which appeared dense as if it was not ink but rather their skin.

In addition to their rough faces, these guys were clearly oozing out information that they were not your average person based on their appearance.

Two men were currently in front of the group. One with a huge body frame, even in comparison to other people with huge bodies, and beside him was another man with a huge body frame and a little sparrow on his shoulder, but he appeared rather small in comparison to the man beside him and the others behind him.

The man with the largest body frame among the others was referred to as the boss, but if ordinary people were to hear his real name, they will shake in fear as it was popular in the news for a time.

Wayne Justin.

From a minor street fighter to a level 4 offender.

What crime could a street fighter commit to being charged with a level 4 offense?

If kidnapping, r*ping, and killing the girls on multiple occasions does not count as a level 4 offense, Wayne might have been released from prison before the apocalypse.

Apart from being a blight on society, Wayne was also so mentally ill that even other prisoners feared him. Only those who are like him, such as those who are currently around him, could interact with him a little.

If it had been before the apocalypse, just having these 10 people on the road among people would have been enough for the police to declare a lockdown.

Wayne and the others were all staring at the man with the sparrow right now.

"B-b-boss, I swear, this is exactly where Lil sparrow said he saw the girls," the man with sparrow said panicked, sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Another question was why a dangerous criminal on this level like this seemed so....'timid.' It was also worth considering why dangerous criminals of this caliber were under his command in the first place.

All of this happened because Wayne possessed a strange ability that allowed him to control these people.

Though they could think freely, they were still at the mercy of this strange ability, which had no practical application in combat.

If it wasn't for the fact that the man with the sparrow was useful to the group as a whole since his ability was very useful, he might not be standing now and would be on the ground as a corpse.

When Wayne and the others around the man with the sparrow heard what he said, their anger and irritation visibly subsided as they paused to observe their surroundings before returning their gazes to the building where Ace and his team were.

"Do you think they might be inside that building?" Wayne abruptly stated after staring at the building in front of him for some time.

For some reason, he felt he had a entered dangerous territory, but before he could continue, he saw someone emerge from the building.

Perhaps if he had paid close attention, he would have noticed a strange-looking crow flying above his head.

Wayne nearly drooled when he saw the person who emerged from the building.

Silver eyes and hair, a medium height that was slightly on the short side, and a body that could drive a teenager insane and put an adult man to the test.

She was clearly still a minor, but her body, aside from her height, could make her peers, younger, or the older gender same as her envious.

Despite her appearance, Wayne could tell from his 'experience' that the girl in front of him was like those who were actually older than they appeared.

She was only a few steps away from becoming a legal loli.

In actual fact, Anna was a total beauty that 10 out of 10 men would turn back to look at on the road, aside from looking younger than her age. It was just a shame that, despite her beauty, her teammate was not emotionally strong enough to recognize or appreciate it.

But, unlike Ace, it was clear that Wayne and his group could appreciate Anna's beauty, albeit in the wrong way.

Wayne decided he had to have Anna the moment he laid eyes on her.

Anna's body shuddered under his gaze.

[Anna POV],

I was already aware of the people outside before Ace asked me to check them. I ignored them at first since we had nothing to do with them, but based on how long they've been outside, something appears to be wrong.

What I didn't expect was to run into a swarm of macho uncles as soon as I opened the door, but when I saw the look in their eyes when they saw me, especially the biggest one among them, I was disgusted.

Today is definitely not my day. I was given a difficult job quest to begin with, and now I'm seeing macho uncles with no morals.

The expressions on their faces told me exactly what they were thinking as if my entire body had been exposed for them to see. It was extremely uncomfortable. Their physical appearance itself is revolting, as they resembled convicts.

"Hello there!" A hoarse voice addressed me as it jolted me out of my reverie.

Hearing it made me uncomfortable, but since they didn't do anything other than stare at me intently in the wrong way, I decided to listen to them.

"What exactly do you want?" I said directly as I did not have a good opinion of these people to talk nicely with them.

"Yo! What's up with your attitude, baby?"

'Baby?'

'Are these men possibly sick and mentally retarded?'

'If it had been someone of Ace's caliber, I might have smiled and played along, but these beefy uncles are macho.'

Tsk! I believe I may have mistakenly raised my standards after seeing Ace.

I was thinking about this when three people suddenly appeared around me, their hands reaching out to grab me.

They were fast, but not fast enough. Despite my lack of experience in situations like this, I was able to escape their encirclement as I disappeared from the spot I was standing on before reappearing at a location far from the former.

Based on their performance right now, I could tell they were lower level than me as they couldn't even catch a novice like me. I could also tell these guys were not good people from what had just occurred.

Thinking about this, I asked the biggest-looking man in the group, who I assumed was the leader, a question and spoke.

"What exactly do you want?" I asked, my eyes narrowing as I observed any strange movements that might be occurring among them to avoid being encircled like before.

When the macho man heard what I said, he immediately removed the solemn expression from his face before he looked at me again while licking his lips.

'Disgusting'

'These guys are definitely not good people.'

"What a fierce girl. "Perfect for me," he said, adding, "I wonder how the others are.".

"Others?" As I was perplexed, I subconsciously muttered.

When he heard this, he replied with the same lewd smile, "Don't you have a friend with you?"

Hearing this, I realized why these machos were standing in front of the building in the first place. It was not a coincidental occurrence.

'These people clearly came here for a reason from the start,' I thought as I looked at the sparrow on one of the man's shoulders.

'Is he like me?'

No, it does not appear to be a summon, but even if it is, it is not my concern as I need to solve the problem at hand.

I could just shout for Ace's assistance right now, but that's not what I want. I, too, have superhuman strength, just like Ace and the people in front of me.

And I still have a rank 1 summon, so even though I'm outnumbered, I should be fine.

'To think I'll end up fighting my own race in the apocalypse where everyone is still trying to survive,' I thought.

From what I've seen of these people, I have no doubt that if I end up in their hands, it will not be a happy ending.

'It's exactly what Ace said. In this new world, everything comes down to your strength in the end,' I thought as I dashed to the macho men who were already coming my way.

'Being weak is a sin in and of itself.'
