Plundering in the Apocalypse



Under Shin's initiative, everyone got acquainted with each other.

*Beep*

Shin saw the caller ID and immediately picked up his phone.

"Dad,"

[Shin! Where are you?!] Alfred's impatient voice came from the other end.

Shin knit his eyebrows as he heard Alfred's tons. Though curious, he answered truthfully, "At Simon's house."

[Come to my office, it's urgent.]

Shin glanced at the girls in front of him who were looking at him curiously and murmured, "Alone?"

After a pause, Alfred's voice came from the other end [... They can come too.] He obviously understood what Shin meant by that question. Moreover, the thing he is concerned with may also need their help.

Getting Alfred's affirmation, Shin said, "Got it, we will be there soon."

With that, the call ended.

"What happened?" Elena asked.

Aurora and Emily didn't need to ask. With their physique, they heard everything clearly.

Only Elena's physique was not yet that great. So she needed to ask.

"My dad. It's something urgent. We need to go."

"Should I come as well?" Elena asked.

Shin looked at her for a moment, then nodded.

Aurora and Emily wondered if Alfred got some important information about the Wolner Clan. Because they knew this morning, Alfred went to find the current information about Wolner Clan.

But in Elena's presence, they were hesitating about whether they should ask him or not.

Shin didn't know about their inner troubles. He beckoned everyone to follow him. As soon as everyone was out of the house. Shin activated Gravity and took everyone to soar through the sky.

While flying Shin wondered, 'Gravity is also related to space type ability, right? Will I obtain Space Magic if I upgrade it further or fuse it with other abilities?'

To him, Gravity is quite a useful ability, so he didn't risk fusing it with other abilities before.

'Once I obtain more space related abilities, I'll try fusing it then. Maybe if the same type of abilities are fused, the result won't be bad.'

Until now Shin has been quite lucky while obtaining good abilities with fusions. But he didn't know if his luck will continue in the future. That's why he decided to think carefully before using Upgrader (SS) in the future.

It didn't take long for them to reach the building of Myriad Multimedia Broadcasting Inc.

*Beep*

"Dad, we are here."

[Wait a minute, I'll be there.]

Some time later, footsteps sounded near them, and Alfred's figure approached them.

Then, under Alfred's lead, everyone followed him inside his company building.

Going up four floors. Alfred took them inside a meeting room.

As soon as everyone was seated down. Alfred made some movements with his hand and a soundproof energy barrier appeared inside the meeting room.

"Dad, why are you preparing all this?"

"I can use this meeting room for the next few hours. No one will interrupt us."

"I didn't mean that."

Alfred sighed and said, "Just wait a moment. I'll explain everything."

Hearing this, Shin didn't say anything and waited for Alfred to operate his laptop.

Only after the projection was on did Alfred start speaking again.

"As you guys know, I was searching for Wolner Clan's recent information."

Shin and the others nodded at his words. They were aware of it. Elena, who looked a bit confused, got a general understanding from Emily's mouth.

"Recently, I found that the clan was taking in a lot of orphans after the cataclysm."I think you should take a look at

"For what, Dad?" Shin didn't think it was a good thing. Otherwise, Alfred wouldn't act this way. So there must be something else behind it.

Aurora and the others were silent, and their entire focus was on Alfred's words.

Alfred had a sad expression on his face as he looked at Shin and said.

"Shin, do you remember the Shaurya Military Underground Project that started six years ago?"

As soon as he heard this, Shin immediately remembered the underground facility he and Alice had entered by mistake on the day of the cataclysm.

At that time, he also felt that the project was somehow related to his incident four years ago. It was just a feeling he couldn't explain how or why.

"Yes, I remember. So how is it related?" Shin asked with a slight frown.

"That project's main initiator was the Tarragon Family, and Wolner Clan was also related to it."

Aurora's and Emily's expressions changed upon hearing this the name of those two clans.

Alfred's answer surprised Shin a bit. "I didn't expect that project to be supported by them."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Emily interrupted their conversation in confusion. "What is this project you mentioned?"

Shin looked at Emily and then at Aurora, who was equally agitated.

"That project started six years ago. They claimed to make a serum that will benefit mankind. I don't know how much of a hoax it was."

"Most of the details regarding that project were a mystery. People say that the Military started the project but now it seems it wasn't all correct. But a few years ago, that project was discarded because of their constant failures." Shin explained the project concisely.

Under Shin's explanation, Aurora and Emily also got a general idea regarding it.

But at this moment, Alfred's calm and heavy words sounded that made their pupils shrank in unison.

"That project didn't stop. It is still being carried on and is in its final stages."

"What?!" Shin looked at his dad with surprised eyes and so did the others.

Alfred's expression was serious as he continued. But his next words made Shin and the others clench their fists and their shoulders trembled in immense anger.

"The orphans they took in have never been seen after that. So I speculate they are being used as experiments."

Intense killing intent emerged from Aurora. "Those despicable bastards. For their heinous acts, they are not even sparing those children."

Everyone else also felt the same. Elena herself has lost her parents. She knew the pain of being an orphan. If not for the help of Alfred and Reina. Their condition might not have been that good either. But still not even being treated as human, she couldn't even imagine it in her dreams.

"Dad, why didn't we know about it before?" Shin asked with gritted teeth.

"Before they were hiding themselves too well. But now that the project is in the final stages, and after the cataclysm, people missing and dying have become an usual thing. So, they have become unscrupulous. They don't even bother hiding themselves, as they can blame the deaths of those children on monsters."

"Nor the government is going to bother them. After all, they themselves are too busy dealings with other species and dungeons. Where do they have time to think about the missing children? Even if they know they are not going to oppose those clans. After all, they will lose a lot of combat power in doing so."

With Alfred's explanation, they easily understood the reason and cause behind it.

"So what are we going to do, Dad?"

When Shin asked this, everyone's attention was on Alfred. They all had some thoughts in their minds, which is why they were eager to know Alfred's answer.

Alfred was silent for a moment as he looked at everyone's expression. Just from a look, he could understand what they were thinking. And this made him glad. Although these kids have killed a lot of monsters and even humans. They didn't go astray in their pursuit of power and still have a compassionate heart.

"The information we have about them is way too little. We don't even know where the current facility of SMUP is. Nor any information regarding the kind of experiment being conducted on."

Alfred's words made everyone's frown deepen. If that is the case, it is indeed a problem.

"If we wait too long to obtain the information. I am afraid that we would be too late to stop them by then."

For Alfred's statement, everyone nodded solemnly. They agree with him. If they keep waiting, they don't know how many more children will suffer and die because of their experiments.

"Let's just attack the Tarragon Family. If we beat them up enough. We will get all the answers."

At Emily's suggestion, Aurora also agreed.

But Shin shook his head and disagreed, "We can't do that."

Elena also disagreed. But since Shin spoke first, she didn't say anything.

"Why?" Aurora raised her brows and looked at him sharply. 'Does he not want to take action against Tarragon Family?'

From her expression, Shin had some guesses about what thoughts Aurora was having. 'It seems she still doesn't trust me enough.' He knew it was inevitable and it will take time to build trust between them. But he still didn't like this. 'Seeing her on guard makes things troublesome.'

"If we directly attack the Tarragon Family, we should also be prepared to face the Wolner Clan or even the other top clans. Moreover, it is also dangerous for the children's safety so we can't act recklessly. If we are going to take action against them. We should at least ensure the children's safety first."
