Plundering in the Apocalypse



Time passed as 'Noah' communicated with Lily while also keeping an eye on everyone.

'It seems they will keep their act and won't do anything extreme to these children until they deliver them.'

This made him sigh a little as his heart calmed down. But of course, this was only a guess. He wasn't sure if it was true or not. So he will still keep an eye on everyone.

'Elena and the others should have started on their side.'

'But what about Alice?'

Shin tried sending a transmission through his mind.

'Hey, Alice, are you there?'

'...'

He waited, but there was no response from the other side.

***

Lily felt that after coming from the bathroom, Noah was a little different. Although he still has his signature silly smile on his face. His sharp eyes seem a lot more mature.

From time to time, he looked around as if probing through everything around him.

Lily couldn't understand what was going on with Noah.

'Is he acting maturely to comfort me?'

'Or is he pretending to be strong?'

As this thought appeared in her mind. She felt it was very likely.

Lily was moved, and Noah's special care made her emotional.

With a blush on her cheeks, she said while shuttering.

"T-Thank you, N-Noah."

"?"

'Um, what going on here?'

'Why did she suddenly thank me?'

Shin was puzzled, not understanding the brain circuit of this little girl.

'Maybe it's something Noah did for her before.'

Although Shin read Noah's memories, it doesn't mean he knew everything about him. Shin only read his important details to act better like him. As for the daily life and memories of this kid. Shin wasn't the least bit interested.

But to know or not know it is different.

Now he has to act better. So although he didn't understand. It wasn't a problem.

So, clasping both her cheeks, Noah raised Lily's head. Four eyes faced each other. Lily's eyes saw a pink glow in the eyes of her also fried Noah. But this change was only for a moment, so she didn't understand what was going on.

Staring at Noah, who was so close to her. Lily felt like her heart beating faster.

'W-what's g-going on?'

'Why is Noah suddenly so handsome?'

A mind of a girl entering her teenage years starts getting complicated. It seems Lily was in a similar situation and, for the first time in her life; she had this feeling for the opposite sex.

Suddenly, this little girl who lost her parents was feeling deeply attracted to a boy.

Moreover, that person was her close friend, Noah. For the former Noah, she had some affection as he was a good friend to her. But this new 'Noah' gave her an entirely different feeling.

Shin, who had activated his Charming Eyes, didn't know just what kind of drastic effect it will bring. He just wanted to be more convincing, so he used this ability. Looking into Lily's eyes, he said seriously.

"Lily, a lot has happened, and we lost a lot. But remember, whatever happens in the future, never show your weak side in front of anyone. You need to step forward for yourself."

"???"

Lily was confused, but seeing the serious look on Noah's face, she still nodded.

As for why Shin said that? It's because this girl reminded him of Alice. But her timid nature still worried him.

Alice managed to get through everything by herself. But he doesn't know what will happen to Lily in the future.

'If I can, I'll try to help you and this brat. I promise.'

At this moment Shin heard a loud voice calling everyone out.

"Everyone gather in the cafeteria!!"

Just like all these children, Shin also followed after them with Lily at his side.

When he arrived in the cafeteria, Shin's attention was on the new batch of children that had arrived just now.

With a glance, he could see there were more than 100 children inside the cafeteria and it was a little cramped.

Thinking that they planned to use these innocent children as experimental subjects. Shin's eyes were cold.

The same man with thin eyebrows, who seemed to be the leader, stood in front of everyone and announced.

"It seems everyone is here."

Nodding his head with a kind smile, he said.

"Okay, everyone, these are your friends with whom you will live from now on."

When those oblivious children heard this, they looked around with curious eyes.

Losing their families and important people made them very sensitive at heart. So finding people who were in a similar situation to them made them feel close to each other.

*Clap*

"Everyone can get familiar with each other later. First, we will have dinner and set off for our destination."

"Okay!!!"

Hearing this, majority of the children were very cooperative. They were sensible enough to know that the people in front of them were going to take care of them. So they shouldn't make trouble.

Only a few complained.

"I don't want to travel at night!"

"I want to sleep!"

"I want to go home!"

...

For their complaints, no one cared.

As there was not enough space for everyone to eat together. Everyone ate in two batches.

But when Shin took the first bite of the food, his eyes narrowed for a moment and then immediately calmed down.

'It's drugged.'

Because of his Toxic Ninja ability, Shin was certain that they added sleeping drugs to everyone's food.

Although he knew that this food won't have any effect on him. But just in case, Shin didn't want to eat this food.

'Mind Control!'

Shin activated his ability and made everyone have the illusion that he was eating his meal.

'Let's just burn this food.'

With a wave of his hand, a black fire appeared on his food and soon the food was reduced to nothing.

Although no one was alerted by this and they subconsciously ignored everything. Shin didn't notice the little Lolita Lily beside him was looking at him with wide eyes.

'W-what?'

'Why did fire appear on Noah's plate?'

'Is Noah an awakened?'

'Why did he burn his food?'

From the corner of her eyes, she noticed that no one was looking at them. This discovery made her even more shocked.

'Did no one else see that weird fire? Why are they acting like it's normal?'

Lily glanced at Noah in wonder, then looked at her plate.

'Is there something wrong with this food?'

As soon as that thought crossed her mind, Lily didn't dare eat this food in front of her.

She unzipped the back of her rabbit plushie. Then, pretending to eat, she stuffed everything inside her plushie.

Fortunately, Shin saw her suspicious actions and with his ability made everyone think that her actions were normal.

'Just what happened? Was she not affected by Mind Control?'

Shin found that just after he burned his food, Lily was acting weird.

ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm 'She resisted the effect of Mind Control.'

'It seems her mental strength is quite high.'

'Let's see what this little girl is capable of.'

'Magic Eyes.'

One by one, Lily's information appeared in Shin's mind.

***

[Lily Lunart]

[Level - 0 (Unawakened)]

[Age - 12]

[Potential Awakening SS Rank]

[Trait - Shy, Curious, Scared.]

***

'Damn! SS rank! She is good!'

With a sigh, he also burned the food on Lily's plate.

Although her potential was very high. Shin didn't think about inviting her to the guild yet.

'She is just a child. I can't ask her to fight monsters. No matter her potential. But she can also be cultivated. Hmmm.'

There were a lot of contrasting thoughts in his mind. But in the end, he couldn't make a decision.

'Let's see what will happen in the future.'

Lily, on the other hand, was surprised for a moment, then glanced at Noah.

Shin saw that she wanted to say something but was hesitating.

Clenching her fists, she made up her mind, and as soon as she was about to say something. A voice behind them disturbed her.

"Since you two have eaten your dinner. Don't occupy the seats."

It was a chubby child who said to Shin and Lily while holding his plate. Behind him, there was another boy.

"Yeah, we were just leaving."

Saying that, Noah grabbed Lily's hand and left.

His sudden actions startled Lily, and she was shy. In the end, she could only let Noah lead her.

While washing his hands Shin saw that Lily was looking at her plushie in distress.

Shin wanted to laugh but held himself back.

'Is it because of the food she stuffed?'

Taking the plushie from her. With a wave of his hand, he activated Water Magic.

Two water balls appeared in the air and washed the plushie.

Then, with the help of gravity, Shin made a vacuum and completely dried it. Within seconds, the plushie was clean as new.

Lily witnessed everything with twinkling eyes. From the corner of her eyes, she also saw that no one noticed them.

'Am I the only one who can see this?'

Thinking of this, Lily looked at Noah in amazement.

She had many questions she wanted to ask. But Noah put his forefinger on his lips and made a silent gesture.

"I'll tell you everything later. For now, don't ask anything." He whispered.

Hearing this, Lily nodded her little head in understanding.
