After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 236

To others, the Apocalypse brought only horror, pain, and losses. To the two of them, it meant freedom.

It started when he found out his sister suffered a miscarriage after receiving a beating from Higson. Matthew only saw red the moment he heard the news from someone he bought from inside.

She was still in their home! He didn’t even bother taking her to the hospital!

He went mad and disregarded the politician image he had been trying to maintain, driving like a speed racer to confront the man.

However, despite his rage, he was not entirely irrational. Before heading to the imminent ’battle’, he sent all the results of his investigations to his friends, telling them to call the police should he not contact them within 24 hours.

He had been waiting for the perfect time to release the documents, but he needed them divorced first before he could do so. Otherwise, his sister could be dragged in the legality of everything as his wife.

He had been planning on showing all those evidence to his sister later that week.

As he drove, he kept thinking, had he moved just a few days earlier, had he been more decisive—

Anyway, today, he was determined to get them divorced that day, no matter what.

"Matthew, please wait!" A familiar voice sounded and he turned in a direction, and he saw his pale sister hurriedly getting out of a cab.

His sister knew him too well, it seemed.

"Sister!" He yelled, catching her when she lost her footing due to weakness.

"Don’t do it!"

"Nothing can stop this, sister."

Melissa paused and looked at him. "I’m coming with you."

"NO!" Matthew growled, yelling at his sister for the first time in his life. Melissa did not falter, gripping his arm, with her eyes particularly filled with fight—something he had not seen in many years.

Seeing this, his stance softened a bit and he heaved a sigh to calm himself. "You can’t do anything. You’ll only make me worry when you come.:

"How would we divorce if I hadn’t signed the papers yet? I must be there!"

"No, you don’t."

But she blocked his way with her whole being, threatening to hang herself if he didn’t return in half a day.

The thing was, Matthew wasn’t sure if he could return in half a day.

In the end, he could only succumb to her demands.

"If he shoots you," she had told him at the time, her eyes filled with determined light, "Then he shoots us together."

The two of them looked at each other, nodding, and mightily ran to the man’s base.

However, on his way up the elevator, his vision darkened and he woke up and everybody else was ’asleep’.

He shook his sister who fortunately woke up and they dragged themselves over the figures on the ground, heading to their destination regardless.

Then the bodies started flinching, getting up, and moving so stiffly that he could hear their bones cracking.

"How many lives did this cost?" He asked, touching the nearest gold bar with a heavy heart. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
