After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 128

The twins, Luke and Leo, looked at the abandoned camp with observant eyes.

"Brother, it seems like it hasn’t been too long since the person left," Leo asked his brother as he observed the bonfire with a barbeque stick still smoking.

Luke, straightened his back, sniffing, and looked around with narrow eyes. "Maybe they hadn’t left yet."

Leo flinched at this and looked around as well.

He realized that his brother was likely accurate for once, and he quickly changed his approach. He looked around for some signs and indeed saw some footprints heading towards a direction.

He did not approach the forest, but only faced it, plastering on a friendly smile on his face.

"Hello!" He uttered out, though not too loud as to catch the attention of the monsters, especially those they just escaped from.

"We’re sorry for ruining your dinner." He said, looking back to once again make sure there was no enemy that followed them.

"Do you mind if we rest here a bit?" He continued, hovering over the makeshift stone chairs surrounding the bonfire. "I promise that we are not bad people!"

Ansel stared at the teenagers, not answering immediately. However, after watching them for a while longer, patient, and didn’t take his meat on a stick, his shoulders relaxed a little.

He still had the intuition regarding people’s characters. These kids looked a little stupid, but they were not bad people.

After another thought, he jumped down the tree to meet the twins eye to eye.

It was Leo, the self-proclaimed to have higher EQ than his brother, who spoke. He raised his hand in greeting. "Hi! My name is Leo and this is my brother Luke—

Roar!!!!

They turned to the sound not too far away, and rustles of leaves soon near them.

Ansel sneered and whipped his head in their direction. "Monsters followed you?!"

"We’re so sorry!!!" They yelled. They could’ve sworn they really lost the monsters ages ago.

Otherwise, would they dare stay here and chat?

Ansel heard that monsters were coming from all directions. Having no other choice, he just gritted his teeth and took out his weapon.

Some were familiar monsters while others weren’t. He recognized a few as the Hui mouse and the Gnomos. There was a new type that was as huge as a bear but with the head of a long-nosed lion.

There were about a dozen monsters that sprinted towards them and they no longer had the energy to chat or care about each other. With his injuries, Ansel barely managed to defend himself against a few, while the other two had a harder time coping.

However, he only had two hands and two feet, and eventually, one got past his defense and bit his legs with its tiny but sharp teeth.

"Ah!" He yelled and quickly rotated his sword, stabbing it down. Over and over.

[Stab, -3 Mana!]

[Stab, -3 Mana!]

[Stab, -3 Mana!]

"Whoa, is that magic?" Luke mumbled, seeing a small flash of light when he attacked. Then he saw the bite and his eyes twitched. Unfortunately, he had too much on his plate and was injured as well.

Ansel ignored him and continued his attack. Eventually, under his onslaught, the biting monster let go of its bite like a leech, eventually losing its life.

[Killed Hui Mouse (Lv1): +30 copper, +30 experience!]

He saw his leg bleeding, but he gritted his teeth and he didn’t allow it to hinder his movements.

All this took a few seconds. Any longer and he’d have had two more bites on his body.

He ignored the pain in his leg and hit the nearest monster.

It was fortunate these were mostly just level ones, otherwise, none of them would be able to handle this mob.

Ansel continuously hit monster after monster. He was gasping and could see that his already-dripping spirit was getting even lower.

His ears flinched at a sound and he instinctively moved his body to the right to avoid the attack. Unfortunately, his bad leg carried the brunt of his weight, and was unable to support it.

He lost his balance and saw the monster open his mouth to eat him.

It was at this moment that another spear appeared hit the monster’s eyes and went straight to its brain.

He turned his head to the source. It was Luke, and he sent him a nod of appreciation.

He used his spear as a cane to bring himself up, taking out the sword to handle the monsters that came his way.

"Watch out!"

"Thanks"

Like them, he used his spear to block the attacks on the twins, assisting them in their subsequent kills.

Somehow, the formation changed and the two of them sword users began attacking behind Luke’s strong defense.

During this time, Ansel noticed that their teamwork was surprisingly smooth.

Did he inexplicably become a member of triplets?

It took half an hour for them to deal with a small mob.

Without another word, they once again dragged their bodies to a different area, finding a damp cave. Hopefully no monsters lived here. Even if there was, they didn’t have much of a choice at the moment.

Without another word, Leo took out a first aid kit and leaned in front of where Ansel sat.

Ansel was surprised, but he didn’t reject the kindness. He needed it, anyway. "Thanks."

Leo scratched his head embarrassedly. "Well, we kinda brought you the trouble in the first place."

Ansel was non-committal and shrugged, looking around as he was being treated. He looked at the molding rocks, dried stalagmites, and the very rough walls. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
