The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 43: You Cannot be Counted

Henry remained silent, as he didn’t know what to reply to Adam’s words. Although it was true what he had said, Henry wasn’t ready to burn the bridges, as he didn’t know what was going to occur in the next moment.

At this point, he had already determined that Olivia possessed incredible skills. And for that reason, he didn’t know about the time that he might come to need her assistance. Additionally, he was planning to recruit her into his team, and there was no way that he was going to do that if he gave her a bad impression.

Well, although she might already have a bad impression of him, but it was still better than trying to fight her head on for just a few mutation crystals.

"Just let them take what they want. I’m sure that there is nowhere that they are going to take the bodies of the monsters. Since they are going to remain here anyway, I might as well take the chance and take them all." Henry replied after a moment of thought.

Adam looked at Henry suspiciously. But all the same, he didn’t say anything else and continued moving the bodies to a single place.

After everything was done, they began collecting the drops. For the items, they would have to come to an agreement before they shared. After all, it was not easy to identify who it was that had killed a monster that dropped an item.

After all items were collected, Olivia finally parted with Sarah. She came to Henry, and demanded, "We are going to take 60% of the drops."

Even though it was true that Henry had allowed her to take the bodies of the monsters, then, he didn’t want Olivia to believe that he was easy to bully.

"There were eight of you, and, there we were 11 of us. Why do you think that I am going to give you 60% of the drops, when your team didn’t do much?" Henry asked with a deadpan expression on his face.

Previously, when Olivia saw that Henry didn’t say a word about the monsters that she had collected, she wanted to attempt and see if there was a way that she could get an advantage. Herself knew about the importance of the items that were being dropped.

After all, the sword that she had been using all this while was an item that had been dropped during the first wave. With the items, the apocalypse was going to be somehow easy to handle, as compared to the situation where they didn’t have an item.

"What eleven? Clearly, we cannot count you in. And without you, there should be nine people. But, the group of seven is obviously weaker than the team that I came with." Olivia retorted.

She was still angry at Henry, and she was using this method to get back at him. When it came to a matter of fighting, she knew that she was not his match at all. So, she could only resort to such means.

"Why can I not be counted? The skill that I utilized at the beginning of the wave cleared off over 500 monsters. And for that reason, the number of drops should definitely be high." Henry responded.

"What’s more, there’s a fact that Adam, Sarah, and my wolf, are way stronger than the team that you brought. I have allowed you to take the largest share when it came to the number of monsters’ bodies, but that won’t to be happening now."

Although it was true that the items that had dropped during this period were not considered that important to him, there was no way that he was going to allow someone to take advantage of him continuously.

"Sarah is my sister, and so she is part of my team." Olivia stated as she stared at him.

"I’m the one who enabled her to get to the level that she currently is, and for that reason, she’s a part of my team. Or, you can as well go ahead and ask her where she belong." Henry replied calmly.

After that, he didn’t want to continue with a useless banter with Olivia. Instead, he had other things to take care of. The offer that had been given by the system was going to end in 24 hours. And for that reason, he had to make sure that he was going to utilize it to the maximum.

Olivia on the other hand gnashed her teeth as she stared at Henry’s retreating back. Although she was angry at him, she knew that there was nothing that she could do.

After all, it could already be considered that she had taken advantage of him in the first place. And now, it was obvious that Henry was not going to allow that to happen again.

As for the matter of Sarah belonging to Henry’s team, she didn’t say a word about it. Although it was true that she was dissatisfied about it, it was also true that Henry was the who saved Sarah.

After Henry arrived in front of the heap of monster bodies, he immediately placed his hand on top of them. In the next moment, the large number of monsters’ bodies immediately disappeared.

During the last wave, the number of monsters had also increased, as well as there was an increase in the level of the apocalyptic creatures that they had faced.

With estimation, there were supposed to be 3000 level 4 monsters, 2000 level 5, and 1000 level 6 monsters. There was an increase in the number of monsters that they had faced during this wave, as compared to the previous wave.

During the time that Henry had released the fire arrows skill, he had managed to deal a huge amount of damage to the leading level 4 monsters.

Due to the power that was contained in the fire arrows as they rained down, there were a few monsters that had been completely obliterated, leaving behind only mutation crystals.

During the division of the number of monster bodies, Olivia’s group had taken slightly over 50%. And for that reason, after Henry sold the bodies that he had received to the system, the balance was as follows.

[Current mutation crystals balance is: 4,600 unranked, 2000 level 1, 1,250 level 2, 2,770 level 4, 1,800 level 5, 1,200 level 6.]

After seeing his balance, Henry took a deep breath. At this moment, he had already realized that there was a possibility of upgrading the Jeep to the next level.

He had also come to a realization that, the reason as to why the price of upgrading to the second star for the Jeep was currently low was simply because of the offer from the system. The prices of the items in the system had reduced.

Even though it was true that he only possessed 1,800 level 5 mutation crystals, with 1,200 level 6 mutation crystals, he could easily convert them into 120,000 level 5 mutation crystals. For that reason, it wasn’t going to be hard for him to get 10,000 level 5 mutation crystals.

Since he was done, he immediately headed for the Jeep. Adam and Sarah immediately followed him.

Sarah on the other hand was already having a conflicted series of emotions. She didn’t know whether to follow Olivia, or to continue following Henry. On one side was her sister, who was just as strong, and on the other hand, there was Henry who was her savior.

The treatment that she was receiving from Henry wasn’t bad. And for that reason, she didn’t want to be an ungrateful person. After all, if she decided to abandon him after he had done a lot for her, even going to the extent of granting her a skill, wouldn’t that anger Henry?

After getting in the area that he had left the Jeep, Henry turned his attention to the group of five. Then, he went ahead and instructed, "Wait for me here. I will be back after sometime."

Although the youths were quite reluctant, there was nothing that they could do. After all, there was no way that they were going to compete with Henry.

After saying that, Henry got into the car, before opening the compartment for the wolf. Adam and Sarah got into the car, while Henry immediately locked the door of the compartment.

After that, he immediately began driving towards the entrance of the facility. At this moment, the entrance had already been devastated, and there were no signs of a road previously existing there.

But, it was also at this moment that the power of the one star Jeep was shown. Since it was in off-road mode, Henry came to a realization that there were springs that helped to reduce the bumping.

And for that reason, although he was driving on an uneven surface, while seated inside the car, the group felt like they were driving on a flat surface.

After they had gotten out of the area where the battle occurred, the Jeep changed into the sport mode. And with that, the Jeep sped off towards the port.

Henry’s intention was to first level up the Jeep to the next level, before the 24 hours expired. At the same time, since the materials that he needed for the upgrade were currently present in the port, it was going to be easier for him to upgrade the Jeep from there.

Olivia squinted her eyes as she watched as Henry sped off. At this moment, her group was already beginning to take the mutation crystals out of the bodies of the monsters. This was something that was going to take a very long time, and it was also tiresome.

Olivia had seen that the group of monsters’ bodies that Henry had gathered, all disappeared without a trace. Even though she did not understand where they had gone to, she still decided that, she was going to follow his car movements.

"I will be back in a while." Olivia said to the ladies, before picking a random vehicle that still had its keys, before driving with great difficulty out of the facility.
