After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 268

Hundreds of kilometers away from Altera, a team of well-built men (and a woman) traversed the rough nature’s terrain.

The team walked through the dense forests, their swords, machetes, and the like clearing the path as they made their way to their destination.

When the ground beneath their boots changed from hard ground to a softer, yielding, texture they stopped, and the person in front immediately went to check.

Garan looked at the scout who was leaning down to study the soil for clues, meticulously surveying the terrain.

"It should be here…" The scout, Chris Felton, a.k.a Three-Eyes, told them as he squinted his eyes to a direction.

He got the inheritance of Scout skills, very in line with his specialty back in Terran.

Vanessa, intent on contributing, chimed in. "From my research, the target plant thrives in dark and humid places." She said next to them, looking at the plants that she knew to be more adapted to moisture.

"I’m guessing there should be caves in that area."

Garan nodded, pondering on the next point of action. In the end, they concluded that it was not practical to go there with the entire party. It was still best for scouts to check out the area before they went there.

"I’ll check it out," Chris said but paused just before he disappeared. He cleared his throat and looked at the others. "I’ll need someone with combat skills though."

Chris had the wind element but, even if he was technically a swordsman, he had very little attack power. His skills and specialties focused more on control.

For instance, he could place the element on his feet, making him run extremely quickly. He could also send light items like leaves to send them to serve as a signal, saving on resources.

However, even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t be able to use it to assassinate people, let alone the monsters here. Perhaps he could use it to assist, but never to directly kill.

Garan pondered who to send with him when a man with reddish-brown hair stepped forward. It was Johnny, looking at Garan with determined eyes.

"I can go with him, Captain," he said, "I have enough attack and defense capabilities, and I also have speed-up skills to do the job."

Garan thought for a moment and looked at the earth elementalist, before agreeing. "Go with him. Send the signal when it’s time for us to follow."

The two nodded at the instruction, with Johnny sending a subtle glance at Vanessa. The woman caught his glimpse and smiled, making Johnny happy he volunteered.

Chris pulled him back to the task at hand with a pat on the shoulder and pointed in a direction.

"Ah, right," Johnny said and the two sprinted to a direction to see the so-called cave.

Chris, assisted by his level C speed boots, quickly disappeared from sight, followed closely by Johnny with his ability—Instant Starting Blocks, where he used earth to serve as racing blocks.

While waiting, the others took advantage of this time to finally get some rest.

They were currently finishing up a mission as a Mercenary team, which was important in their standing on this continent. Using the Mercenary Hall in Ferrol Town, they took plenty of jobs during this time. So far, they’ve done at least a dozen level D missions. This was their first level C mission.

They had already made a name for themselves in the Class-D cluster, and it would soon be time to move on to Class-C. Taking on Level-C missions would reduce the process by months. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
