After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 299

Hours later.

In the health center, the ’territory’’ bought off all the medicine in the pharmacy, with the medicine factory continuously working to create more stocks. During the next day, all stocks would go straight to the health center.

In the meantime, Lily, the Pharmacy shopkeeper was set to practice her undergrad knowledge with Betty. She and Sheila would be her right-hand women, one of which would be assigned to the East gate.

Betty double-checked the medicines. There were various medicines, the most important of which were the hemostatic medicines, the ’Bandade’, and ’Sprite’, all of which were inventions of the Lord.

These were all amazing, and it could be said that one was equivalent to a life saved.

Betty couldn’t help but gently rub the ceramic bottles, heart filled with emotions.

Of all the territories she had been to, she had never seen such an excellent woman. Let alone one that cared so much for the people underneath her.

Betty knew for sure that this territory would not fall.

In the Barracks, all the guards began to congregate, with a mix of emotions in their eyes.

Drake and Rowan formed two teams. The ’territory’ set the distribution to 80% in the Southwest gate, which was estimated to attract most of the monsters, and the remaining at the East gate.

The other areas would have very sparse attacks and would be guarded by the dense sentries.

Helios walked to ask Rowan. "Will Ms. Althea be joining?"

"Yes, of course."

"Which gate would she take? Will she still choose the East gate like last time?"

"Yes."

"Then, can we request to be assigned there? The last time we fought well together, and her style inspired my uncle… and I."

He changed his words when he realized his words were a bit ambiguous.

"Oh?"

"...yes."

"Very well." Rowan said, "You must guard her well."

"Yes, sir!"

Rowan nodded and he and Drake stood in front. Rowan and Drake looked at each other, with the former nodding to the latter.

Drake cleared his throat and stood in front of the crowd.

"We are now about to face a formidable enemy. Do not underestimate them as they will be much stronger than what we have faced before.

"Some of us may be lost in this battle, but no one’s sacrifice is in vain. Each of us has hundreds of lives on our backs, and we save hundreds when we bravely wield our swords toward our enemies.

"Know that in every slice and every attack we do, we are protecting our home. Never falter. Our home is right behind us.

"Do you understand?"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

"We will now distribute your weapons and equipment."

At this, everyone’s back straightened, their eyes following excitedly as box after box arrived in front. They were as big as an adult man’s arms, while some were longer. Counting the boxes they realized it was a box for each one!

"Line up!" Rowan called and they obediently did so.

Those who received went to the side to open the boxes immediately and they all brightened at the contents of each one.

Each one of them received three sets. Each set consisted of weapons and equipment like iron swords or spears, shields, and uniforms made by Lenny. They have been distributed to all guards. They also had several copies of all relevant medicines.

The cost of each set was definitely no joke, and they had three. Each.

The guards couldn’t help but be touched by the territory’s attempts to protect their lives.

Who wouldn’t want to protect it with all they had?
