After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 239

Matthew recalled the rants of the guards yesterday. At first, he had difficulty in believing them, thinking they were exaggerating to make him move.

This couldn’t be blamed on him. After all, they had claimed that two level-three guards couldn’t even make the enemy guard—who was now known to be an aborigine—lift a finger.

But as he watched the ’Alterans’ the past day, he realized that these people were much more powerful than he imagined.

Even his fellow Terrans were stronger than they were on average. As a level 4 individual, he could tell the weakest among them were level 3.

This was very amazing. There were over ten thousand people in his territory, not even a hundred were at level 3.

This alone sent signals that this ’Altera’ was not a simple territory, and he could feel that it was much, much, more powerful than his own.

He also saw the temperament of his guests. They were energetic, lively, and filled with hope.

All of them were like that, even his former citizens who had only been gone for a couple of days.

And most importantly: They could also produce so many items that he had deemed impossible to see in the short term.

Amazingly, they could even produce to the point of having a surplus.

What if they had the medicine they needed as well? After all, Trialphas wasn’t an uncommon disease!

As he mused deeply about his next point of action, an urgent knock sounded, pulling him out of his trance.

"My Lord…"

"Come in."

The door opened to reveal a kind-looking old man with half-squinted eyes.

Micheal’s tense stance softened at the sight of the other person, who immediately stood in front of his table with a little urgency.

If the twins were here, they’d realize this man was the old clothes repairer they encountered just the day prior.

"Old Yao, what is it? So early?" This was old Yao, one of his confidants. In his free time, he fixed other people’s clothes for a fee.

This time though, his usual calm face betrayed a bit of worry. Matthew’s eyebrows rose. His heart dropped automatically because emergencies in this place usually made him suffer a lot.

"What’s the matter?" He asked, a bit afraid of the answer. Hopefully, it was nothing life-or-death.

"Those people are already preparing to leave," the old man said, making Matthew abruptly stand up.

"What?" But he didn’t ask anymore, he simply walked out and went straight to the house the group rented.

Indeed, some of the Alterans were already waiting outside for the rest of the group, very ready to leave.

Matthew frowned, looked at the dark sky, and saw that it wasn’t even dawn yet?

He stood still for a while before asking the nearest person for the leader. For this team, there seemed to be two: the aborigine and the woman.

Among the leaders, it was the woman who soon came out to meet him. She didn’t look particularly surprised to see him. And there was no sign of dislike, which was a good thing for him.

"How can we help this lord?" She asked.

"You are in such a rush to leave?"

"Well, the territory sent another mission. We would like to try doing it for points."

"What?"

"We were asked to look for resource points."

"Just lately?"

"Yes, we just received the notification last night."
