After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 305

After the ceremony, she, the elders, and the aborigines went directly to a meeting, aiming to polish what they could before a well-needed rest. When it was all over, everyone congratulated each other, before going out of the room to go their separate ways.

They went down the stairs and Althea stretched her arms, but her yawn paused midway when she saw who was waiting at the bottom steps of the stairs.

It was Sheila and Harold, each holding her children, arrived to pick her up.

"Mwmammaaaa~!"

"Ghghmoghamgga~"

They looked very cute and very very happy to see her fine.

Althea immediately brightened and wanted to kiss her babies, but stopped herself due to all the grime and blood.

In a hurry home, she said her polite goodbyes to the men, with Ansel striding along with her.

However, before going anywhere, she looked at the Aborigines who had been watching everything with warm eyes. Althea paused, turning to the (former) Terrans.

"We should also stop calling them NPCs." She told them, "I know that gamifying this world lessens the load, but our protection will soon disappear."

She paused, finally looking away, sights looking past everything in the territory.

"For better or for worse, we are now part of this world." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

…

Althea and the group went home and she quickly took a bath. After that, she hurriedly went out to hug her babies, giving them many, many, smooches on their cute cheeks.

She carried them both to the bed, embracing them with her warmth, feeling their softness.

"I missed you soooo much…" she mumbled, and the two children giggled cutely, and she couldn’t help but place another set of pecks on their pudding-like cheeks.

Then little Meatball yawned adorably, followed by Little Pepper, and then Althea herself. She felt her eyelids become heavier and heavier.

As she laid down with her babies in her arms, she used her remaining strength to make an announcement: One asking everyone to get a good rest.

Let them rest for several hours.

The bell would ring when it was time to wake up—to signify that it was time to start preparing for yet another battle.

…

Ferrol Town

"The mobs have been particularly antsy." Bart’s right-hand man, Eloi, mumbled as they walked towards the Terran Mercenary camp. He mentioned this because a monster managed to nick his shirt and now he had to buy a new one.

He was a middle-aged man with big eyes and a very high hairline. Like Bart, he also had a large waistline, though it increased lately and he blamed the Terran mercenary team for it.

They had just arrived from their base in Twinwave and noticed the mobs on the way were quite irritated. Fortunately, the mobs around weren’t too high, and it didn’t cause them too much trouble.

They passed by Ferrol, though mostly to meet Garan and the others. It was because they happened to be going to Cape Rushless, which was not too far away from here and they wanted to see if there was some new stuff to see (and get some exclusive food by the way).

But when they got to the Terran Mercenary Team’s camp, they saw them packing up, as if preparing to go somewhere far. Bart also noticed there were several people who were not there.

And also…, they were all covered up in bandages? "What happened to you?"

Reuben shrugged, "Encountered some hard stubble."

Another—the pale-skinned Minko—nodded. "Very hard stubble."

"..."

However, they basically ignored him and were busy packing up. He noticed somewhat of a flurry in their movements.

Bart watched patiently as they finished up, with those who completed their tasks earlier looking in the direction of the fog. They looked both worried and excited and it made Bart very curious.

He walked over to Eagle, who seemed relatively freer now than the others, but he was obviously a bit antsy.

"Level 5 Mobs were found entering the fog a day before," Eagle told him, face pale. "Captain and the others hand already gone to take a look."

Bart flinched a bit, narrowing his eyes. He knew these people had something to do with the fog, and it seemed their connection was deeper than they thought.

According to what the rumors he heard a few days ago… he kind of worried for this team.

"All of you are going?"
