After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 322

About an hour later, the corpses had completely turned to ashes, and there was nothing left but them mourning.

Garan looked at his team that entered a gloomy mood and sighed. "Let’s go," He just said, and the team prepared to go on their way.

Beanie sniffed, feeling very heavy. To be honest, he had been compartmentalizing in order to retain some cohesiveness.

Although he had also seen a lot of deaths in his previous two territories, he knew his family wasn’t there nor were they nearby.

But now, they were so near other Eden territories, and this was what he kept on seeing…

He shook his head, refusing to think about it anymore. Rather than be crippled with worry, he’d rather move forward to get to as many territories as he could to find his family.

The team soon went their way further east, though no one spoke a word anymore.

It was just that they hadn’t gone far when they heard rustles, a lot of them, approaching relatively quickly. The soldiers immediately raised their guards ready for whatever would come.

The distant sounds were quickly followed by yells and screams. The soldiers looked at each other, but otherwise stood still as they listened to the many rushed footsteps that came their way.

A crowd of hundreds appeared, batch by batch, from the dense forests.

Each one looked absolutely horrid, covered with blood and dirt, and their expressions filled with terror and hopelessness.

They were running for their lives. Only, deep in their hearts, they didn’t think they’d have much hope of succeeding at all.

But it didn’t mean they would stop trying.

"Run! Run!!" They yelled, seeing people blocking their way.

The team stood still and watched as scores and scores of fleeing people rushed in and went past them in a flurry.

The people didn’t have time to wonder why they were unmoving and just continued to run as far as they could.

They rushed in like ants suddenly escaping from the nest, avoiding the obstacles that were them, and they were such in a rush that most didn’t even bother to avoid them.

It was just that as a few people bumped into them, they were thrown back by the force instead.

"What?" they asked, but flinched when they saw the soldiers—standing still as if another man his size didn’t just barrel onto him—look down at them with an impassive expression.

Too scared to make an issue out of it, they just ignored the soldiers and continued to escape.

Of course, some had the mind to warn them. For instance, a middle-aged bald man wearing only a dirty white shirt stopped next to them, yelling. "What are you doing? Run!!"

The man tried to drag one with him but the person shook his head. Gill looked at the man who was pulling his arm, actually stopping to pull him despite looking incredibly terrified by what was behind.
