After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Hospital

[03:21:22]

Althea looked at the hospital with a complicated expression.

It seemed like it was only a few days ago that she was here, also for an ultrasound.

At that time, both Auntie and her brother came with her. They admired the growth of the children together, gushing about how beautiful the kids were were how they were growing so well.

Now she didn't have either of those two people beside her and the environment was no longer the bustling city she was used to. Instead, it was filled with the rotting scent of death and the gloom of despair.

Althea took a step forward with a depressed mood. They walked closer and closer to the hospital, trying to be as quiet as they could.

But it didn't take long before Fufi suddenly stopped midway, warily staring in a direction, growling.

Her eyes followed the direction he was looking at and she immediately held up her katana and took on a posture, ready to attack.

Soon she saw fast-moving figures from afar, getting closer and closer.

It was those upgraded zombies again. However, she didn't have a plasma gun anymore and she was not planning on using the guns she saved for that Other World.

The upgraded zombies soon zoomed in on them, running quickly for their meal. But she noticed as a few ran in their direction, there were even more running behind them...

Soon a small horde of fast-approaching figures appeared in her eyes. The noise they made also alerted the normal zombies, forming a small wave, directed right at them.

Her heart stopped a little.

There seemed to be over a score...

Why were there so many?!

What she didn't know was that many survivors in the area gathered together after the first few hours. They banded together, hoping to get through the ordeal together as countrymen.

They did fairly well for themselves at first, even rescuing a few others.

Unfortunately, they met the gangster trio and their guns, forcing themselves to be the 'leaders'. But these men took advantage and harassed the women, igniting the rebellious spirit of the people.

However, no matter how brave, the weak would be the weak. The fight unsurprisingly caused a lot of deaths, which in turn triggered the zombie wave.

It was during this battle that the trio found out about the concealing effect of zombie goo, which was at the cost of a dozen lives.

Had she known, Althea would've stabbed their dead corpse even dead-er.

In any case, those survivors were now upgraded zombies and were now her headache.
