Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain

(Thank you Jeffrie_Johnson about your gift – a Inspiration capsule ^_^)

Arik tried to suppress the pain, he raised his head to look at Hikaru, his face showing confusion: “Destroy? Destroy this place?

“Don’t you understand what I mean?” Hikaru frowned, the murderous aura he was emitting made Arik feel extremely cold.

“Ack! I… I…” Arik stammered. He felt extremely confused so he explained: “Do you know where this place is?”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“I… what I mean is… do you know what is in this research center?”

Hikaru smiled and said: “Of course I know, however, I don’t want any of that nonsense.”

“Nonsense?” Hearing that, Arik was startled: “You…you don’t know what’s inside this place at all. This place is full of technologies that can change the history and future of humanity.”

“This place has things that can allow you to control the whole world in your hands. This place…”

“You think…that I need those?” Hikaru’s voice interrupted Arik’s words.

Arik: “…”

Yes, this young man’s strength was frightening, he was like a monster from hell.

Weapons like guns could not threaten him. Not even a fully armed army could kill him.

On the contrary, this young man could kill an entire army with ease.

Moreover he did not have many injuries. Which proves that although the army outside was fully equipped, they couldn’t touch this young man.

Arik was thinking about many things, however, if Hikaru knew what Arik was thinking, he would probably laugh at him.

In fact, the reason he could easily destroy the army was thanks to the Haunted Cloak.

Otherwise, Hikaru would have no choice but to flee, as he will be unable to confront such a fully armed army.

Besides, he was hit by 4 bullets, but thanks to the Haunted Cloak covering him up, Arik couldn’t see those wounds.

And of course, to use the Haunted Cloak’s skills continuously, he also had to spend a lot of energy. Hikaru had to use all of his evolutionary medicine as a source of additional energy.

However, Hikaru did not feel like this was a waste. At this moment, he realized that even without reaching Tier E power, he could still fight people who used guns.

He could even defeat them easily.

Arik took a deep breath and said: “I… I don’t know if this place has a self-destruct switch. However, I know something that can destroy this place.”

“That’s the armory underneath this place. There are a large amount of explosives in the arsenal, just detonate them and this place will be completely destroyed.”

“Good! Take me there.”

“But…” when Arik heard Hikaru say that he immediately hesitated: “I… I don’t know the password to that place, besides… that place is blocked by a steel gate.”

“Hm?!” Hikaru raised his eyebrows.

Arik was so scared that he almost fainted. He felt like crying: “Okay! I… I will take you there.”

…

After passing through many doors, Arik led Hikaru to a steel door.

“Here… I won’t lie to you, this door…”

Ptks!

The sound of wind whistled, and a rectangular hole appeared in the steel plate blocking the path, the hole was large enough for a person to step out.

The severed part fell on the ground. When Arik saw this, he was so scared that his eyes widened.

The obstruction was a monolithic steel plate over 10cm thick, yet…

Arik glanced at Hikaru, and saw that he was holding an ax in his hand.

“You… how can you cut this steel plate?”

“Don’t talk too much. Continue moving …”

“Ah… okay!” Arik was scared so he immediately walked out of the steel door. They then continued walking for about 20 meters until they came to another door.

Unlike the door made of monolithic steel from before, this door was made of a sheet of glass.

However, this glass was similar to the glass in Daziro’s cell. It was extremely hard, so hard that even ballistics could not destroy it.

“I… I don’t know the password… can you… can you cut it out?” Arik stammered.

Hikaru then wielded the ax, as the blade touched the glass he easily cut it out like he was cutting a piece of paper.

Arik saw this scene and his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. If he weren’t a researcher here, he would have thought that the glass in front of him was just a thin piece of paper.

Arik stared at the ax blade, he felt that it was just an ordinary ax cast from a block of metal, and it looked like nothing special.

So… why is it so sharp?

“Have you seen enough?”

Hikaru’s words startled Arik. He nodded and said: “Sorry, I…”

“Come in!”

“Okay! Okay!” Hearing that, Arik immediately went inside.

Behind that one-way glass is a huge room, it’s about 2,000 square meters wide, and more than 7 meters high. In the room there are many weapons and high-tech machines.

Arik pointed to a box, then said: “On the other side there is a box, in that box is an extremely powerful explosive, like an atomic bomb.”

“However, its principle is much simpler than the atomic bomb, just…”

“Enough!” Hikaru frowned and shouted.

Arik immediately shut his mouth, he wanted to slap himself. He explained out of habit without regard to the current situation.

“So… you can activate it?”

“I… I don’t know, I’ve only heard about it, I’ve never used it.”

“That’s good. You should activate it.”

“I… but…”

“Hm?!” 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

“Okay! Okay!” Arik shook his head and sighed, he felt that he would definitely die here today.

“I will give you a chance to live.” Hikaru suddenly spoke up.

“What do you mean?”

“What I mean is… while that bomb explodes, if you find a safe place to hide or escape from this place, I will let you continue living.”

“How about it?”

Hikaru smiled without speaking, Arik shivered. It seemed like what was waiting for him was the gate of hell.

However, if Arik did not do as Hikaru said, he would definitely be killed by that young man.

“I…” Arik sighed, in the end, he could only slowly move closer to the chest.

He turned his head and saw Hikaru still standing in front of the gate of the armory, but just a second later, Hikaru disappeared.

Seeing that, Arik immediately ran to the door.

“Ah! Are you going to run?”

Suddenly, Hikaru’s voice rang out from behind him, startling him.

“I… I didn’t run away… I…”

Arik fell on the ground in fear. He saw Hikaru standing behind him.

When did he get there?

He didn’t know, but this young man was too scary.

“Come back!”

“Okay! Okay!” Arik quickly crawled on the ground to the chest and began to open it.

Hikaru didn’t pay attention to Arik but he looked around, because he felt extremely uncomfortable.

If the system had not given the mission to destroy this place, he would definitely have kept the technology and weapons here.

After that… relying on Arik and Laylah, he could live comfortably in this world without worrying about the threats of the main characters and monsters.

However, life is not all rosy, especially the lives of villains.

Hikaru was forced to destroy this entire research headquarters, especially this weapons warehouse.

“Rika, can I not do this mission?”

[Hahaha… you can try. Anyway, the mission description doesn’t say what kind of punishment you will receive if you don’t complete the mission.]

Hikaru thought for a moment, but in the end he could only shake his head.

On the positive side, he would no longer be afraid of weapons like guns.

Besides… later, zombies would become stronger, and the weapons here would be almost useless.

After thinking about it, Hikaru felt much more comfortable. He glanced at Arik, who was studying the chest intently.

After that, Hikaru disappeared. Arik also sensed that Hikaru had disappeared but he dared not test Hikaru’s patience.

…

Hikaru went outside, even though he saw corpses everywhere, he didn’t feel anything.

His mind was like the surface of a lake in autumn, it was tranquil which is scary.

“It seems that I no longer value human life.”

“previously when I was on Earth I couldn’t even hit a dog.”

[Ah! Look what a serial killer is saying.]

Hikaru looked at the bodies lying on the ground, their blood flowing in a stream of life. The faint light shone down, making it seem as if the whole area was tinged with a dark and horrible blood color.

“It’s not my fault, it’s yours and the World’s Will. It’s because you brought me here and forced me to become someone I never wanted to be.”

“You think I wanted to come to this world? No, I don’t want to be the villain here, I don’t want to be the main character either.”

“I just want a normal life. I want to live and work normally.”

[So that at the end of your life, when you look back at what you have done, you will regret what you have not done.]

“Really?” Hikaru raised his head and looked at the sky. There was no blue sky with white clouds, no sunset.

There were only dark clouds covering the sky, occasionally there were a few flashes of lightning which made the sky look gloomy.

No, that’s exactly how the sky of an apocalypse would look like.

“Watching the sunset?”

Suddenly, Laylah’s voice rang out. Hikaru frowned and said: “Can you see the sunset?”

“Hahaha… I was just kidding.”

Hikaru shook his head: “Have you finished dealing with those people?”

“Almost…”

“Hm? What do you mean?”

Laylah shrugged and said: “I simply let them survive on their own.”

“You didn’t kill them?”

“No, I left that to others.”

“Others?”

Laylah walked up to Hikaru, smiling mysteriously: “Hm… simply… I pulled a herd of zombies into that group’s camping area.”

“After that… hm… I didn’t care anymore.”

Hearing that, Hikaru could only stay silent. He felt that Laylah was many times more terrible than him.

At least, he killed his enemies in silence, the people he kills don’t even have time to feel the pain.

As for Laylah, she lets her enemies feel both despair and extreme pain.
