After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 334

The group took the monsters back—their carcasses contained a lot of usable materials—inside the gates.

"Are you sure you’re alright?" Ansel asked his sister, now covered with a coat of sorts. He was supporting her shoulders and she was leaning on him. He was heartbroken but he knew having to fight like that was a necessary evil.

"Yeah," Althea said, "Now I just want to see my babies."

Ansel smiled in understanding also looking dazed at the recollection of his cute neice and nephew and just led the woman through the gate.

But when they entered they were a little startled by the crowd that had been waiting for them, immediately cheering as the gates closed.

"Amazing!"

"Bravo!!"

"I was terrified to see such large monsters, especially when I heard of their level, but looks like we can still handle it!"

"Nothing to be scared of!"

"We don’t need the protection period anymore!"

The crowd had been watching the fights from the safety of the walls. However, even if they did want to help, their skills and levels would just designate them as burdens instead.

At the same time, people from the health clinic arrived with all the tools needed to perform first aid, bringing the heavily injured guards back for more intensive care.

The crowd looked at the group—especially Althea—with fanatic admiration.

She had spearheaded the economic and agricultural development of the territory, and now she joined the guards to vanguard against the strongest monsters they had ever encountered so far.

And then they realized that she was the strongest non-aborigine!! It was unbelievable!

Just… what can’t she do?

With these thoughts, they couldn’t help but want to express admiration in one form or another. There were plenty of words of encouragement and affirmation, and there were also a lot of people who gave their stock medicines to those who fought, and none of them were rejected.

Of course, not everyone was amazed. For example, Ramona who was gritting her teeth in the crowd.

During the fight, in contrast with the aghast gasps and worried prayers when Althea got wounded, Ramona was holding back smiles.

Ramona frowned, glaring at Althea’s bloodied figure. Even all bloodied, she was so beautiful, so admired.

And why was she still so strong?! She was the strongest other than the Aborigines!!!

Ramona simmered on the side with a dark expression. "What’s wrong, wife?" A plain-looking man asked her in concern.

She had, of course, found a new man who did most of the work in their ’household’. One who made all of the money with her in charge of ’taking care of the household’ i.e. buying whatever she wanted.

He was even working as a staff of the Glorious Hospitality Company and was making quite a bit in commissions. She had been living amply, much much better than how it was in Bright.

However, more than once she passed by outside Althea’s house and she could see the wonderful colors inside even from outside the fences.

She could often hear laughter inside (though mostly by the children playing) and she could imagine the fabulous life she still had.
