After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 217

No more incidents at the entrance happened after that, primarily because no one was around.

The group entered the territory without further ado, the guards’ eyes sending daggers on their backs.

"Won’t they make trouble?" Sunny asked worriedly.

"Oh, they will." Crow sneered, "But we’ll handle it."

As he said this, Crow paused and looked back, his dark eyes glazing over the guards twitching in pain on the ground.

"Maybe we can use this chance to enlighten more people about this lord they adore."

…

[Welcome to Vismont Village (Lv2)! Please pay 10 copper coins for an entry pass.

[If you have to avail residency please pay 20 silver for temporary residence and 20 gold for permanent.]

Looking at the new rates, the old residents couldn’t help but look at each other.

"Except for the Visitors pass, did he increase the price?" Dog frowned and Bull sneered. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

"Why am I not surprised." He said, "I bet he told everyone to be thankful he managed to keep the visitors pass the same."

Unfortunately, it just so happened that there were citizens gathering wood and stone that overheard this sarcasm.

"Of course the Lord increases the price! The territory is level 2 now!" The old man said, and a middle aged woman next to him nodded.

"The territory protects us, gives us shelter and food! What is working a little harder? Besides, those who can only pay daily fees aren’t affected at all!"

"Yes, yes."

"Our Lord is very kind."

The rainbow fart session was obviously going to last for a while. They couldn’t help but roll their eyes (furtively, of course), and they politely excused themselves.

The more tactful members of the group apologized, and some were amicable in chatting with them.

At least, the people here weren’t ungrateful. At this point, they had to give it to Matthew. He was very good at brainwashing people.

They walked along the forest path. It was narrow and rough, just as one would expect in untouched forests. They passed through a worn path made by frequent traffic passing through, heading to where more people were.

Footsteps muffled by the leaves and twigs, the group continued to walk for a few more minutes.

Soon, the scenery changed and the path grew wider and more pronounced. They began to hear the familiar bustle of crowds.

They were then hit with the strong smell of people that hadn’t taken a bath gathered together, combined with the sticking scent of human waste.

"Ugh…" Dog groaned, pinching his nose. Everyone else had scrunched up faces.

But… they pushed through and went further into the territory, eventually reaching the community that lived there.

There were several flimsy huts leaning against each other. There were even some outright sheds made of twigs and leaves and they looked so unstable that a small wind could topple it all.

There were also tents—makeshift mostly, but a few were Terran camping tents. They were grouped together, forming a certain circle on their own, and surrounding a bonfire that seemed to serve the entire community of thousands.
