After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 254

Various guided tours abounded the territory, one of which was the Dining Experience tour, taken by Sandra and Ramona. They formed a group of ten with some strangers and the guide led them through a trip focusing on the territory’s currently-accessible food culture.

The two girls were accompanied by old acquaintances Spike and Ron, at the request of their men who had to stay in the territory.

There were plenty of differences, however. Ron had lost his boyishness and had now adopted a slightly more serious temperament. He was no longer so smug with the C potential he had (as there were many others now) and his styled hair had now turned into a chicken nest.

Spike was also very different from when Althea and the others had seen him. However, there was a stronger aspect to him despite losing an arm.

The four of them were transferred together from Terran and could be said to be the only survivors remaining in that group of people. Of course, this was not including Harold and Maya who separated from them early, hopefully (to Sandra and Ramona) already very dead.

This was not much of a chance though because they came with Althea, who reportedly was doing very well.

Maybe they’d even have an (unfortunate) encounter in this territory soon.

"When are we getting there?" Ramona asked the guide impatiently, tone as arrogant as ever.

Spike and Ron looked at the women in disgust, as they had always done since they reached Bright.

In that party, the two of them were the remaining fighters, and only the four of them survived until the end.

Scores of people. Four were left.

If these women hadn’t been so scheming, there would be way more than the few of them that survived in that group.

Both of them had lost precious friends because of these two women, Spike even lost his woman.

For Ron, it was an old friend who migrated with him. He happened to have fallen for Sandra and did his best to protect the woman. It happened to cost him his life.

Spike’s woman, on the other hand, was lost a bit more directly. At the time, the strong men defended the group with the women and weaker people fighting behind them.

While Spike was guarding valiantly, his women fell into the mouths of monsters.

No one saw what happened, but they had an inkling Ramona pushed her based on her distance.

Now, ironically, they had no choice but to guard the two women. They didn’t have much choice either as they had already invested their remaining wealth in Bright, working under Gringo to maintain their lifestyles.

Doing their job as meticulously as they could did not mean they liked it, of course. They hated every bit of it and they had to use all their tolerance not to just punch the woman in the face.

Ron couldn’t help but remember that beautiful woman who took the old guy and the little girl away.

Unlike these two dodders, she was so strong and beautiful—a veritable goddess. How good would it be to follow her instead of these two!

"We’re almost there~ Don’t worry it will definitely be worth it!" The guide patiently said and Ramona scoffed.

The others were much better though and they followed while looking around the streets in fascination.

They were soon guided along the so-called Eastern Market Street, soon reaching the food stores, and the bitter men completely forgot about the two women.

"Sweet and spicy noodles!"

"Monster meat rice rolls!"

"Fried Gugu Bird!"

"Stormdoer burger—with fries!"

"Glutinous Gouji fruit cakes!"

The group ordered as much as they could and placed them in the space. When they reached the stalls, their movements were even wilder.

Although the space didn’t freeze time like in those novels, it did have some sort of preservation side effect because of the static space itself. It was not much, but rotting due to outside air, moisture, bacteria, and the like were greatly diminished.

At the very least, when they get back home the day after tomorrow, they should still be able to eat and sell these things.

With full stomachs, they continued to explore the rest of that corner place and saw the largest building next to an inn—the Woodworkers’ shop.

This pretty much specialized in furniture and other household paraphernalia, and they couldn’t help but sigh. "The people here have it so good…" They thought.

This thought remained even as they headed back to the intersection and began walking along the main avenue, heading toward the center.

Along the way, they saw more and more shops, restaurants, and essential stores like utensil stores, clothing stores, bag stores, and stores that sold secondary processed foods like jerkies, pickles, jams, and the like.
