After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 150

[17 days of Protection Period]

Althea’s chin rested on the base of her palms as she fondly watched her children… well, exist.

Listening to her children giggling with their new customized toys, the gentle smile on Althea’s face grew wider.

They particularly seemed to like the rotating cartoonized Terran animals hanging above their heads. Very cuddly.

Speaking of wooden children’s toys, Althea had to say Baron’s business mind was something else. It had only been a few days but he and his team—a very well-balanced team with both fighters and artisans—had already bought 3 commercial modules.

These modules were all quite important and have become household names within the territory: One module was for furniture, another one was for toys and other paraphernalia, and the last one (still under construction) was for leather products including but not limited to, leather clothing and shoes.

Of course, most of them were still ongoing development but one could see the potential from a mile away.

It was also because of this group that she placed a maximum of 5 real estate properties (of any form) per person.

After all, she knew her commercial spaces would be in very high demand. It wouldn’t do for someone to monopolize them.

Speaking of wood products, when would paper appear?

She took out her tablet to study the methodology of paper making, eyebrows raising as she did so. Compared to what they have been doing so far, paper was actually relatively simple to create.

She decided to partner with Baron’s woodmakers for this.

Putting this note aside, she went to take a peek at the status of her territory.

"Hm…"

Because she was out cold the past few days, the resources had pretty much caught up.

This meant she could finally start building comfortably again. She looked at the deferred item. If she chose to expand this time, the perimeter would be more than 12.5 kilometers long.

[Would you like to expand your wall to the edge?

Movement Cost: 1110 wood, 1110 stones, 3500 Gold

Building Cost: 2010 wood, 2010 stones, 3140 Gold]

It seemed that moving the walls was actually more expensive than creating a new level 3 wall in terms of gold but, at the same time, it would be using half the resources.

This made sense because they could recycle old resources, but the ’labor cost’ of demolition, transfer, and construction was more.

In the end, she decided to keep the old wall and defer the placement of the wall to the new border.

Anyway, there was still plenty of space and—for better or for worse—not too big of a population.
