After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 350

Beanie perused the territory alone with bright eyes, though his attention was half waiting for an announcement to come or someone to call his name—ideally his wife.

Of course, now that he was here, he wouldn’t miss trying to look for them himself. So, while he was looking around, he was also showing off the photo of his wife and child.

Quite a few paused on Theo’s image. It was just that the photo was taken over a year prior and Theo looked very different now with a small growth spurt, a small scar, and longer hair, so no one recognized him.

But he didn’t let it put him down. Instead, his eyes were just wide open as he explored this new territory.

Especially now that he was basically studying his family’s future ’home’.

As a reporter, he was a natural explorer. He had a fascination with discovering new things and information, particularly about people and events.

Although a guided tour was good, immersion was the most enjoyable for him, so he didn’t choose to get one. Sometimes, he followed where the crowd went, sometimes he went the opposite.

He admired the various parks and amenities. There was even a public restroom one could use for a few coppers. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

The greening was really well-planned. It provided shade to pedestrians, while also providing resources. Because degeneration of dropped fruits was apparently slower within the territory, there were specific jobs to pick these up, used for fertilizers, seeds, and the like.

"Such a wonderful place~" he said, "Priya and Theo would love it here."

Those two liked to garden, he mused with a smile, continuing on his perusal of the territory greenbelt.

But his feet stopped as he heard a familiar bell-like laugh of a child.

His feet moved on their own, taking him to the playground in one of the parks. It was quite quaint until his peripheral vision saw something small zoom near him.

He followed the movement and he froze when he saw the child. The little boy was running and playing in the wooden playground, a happy smile adorning his cute face.

There was a small scar there now though, and it felt like his heart was stabbed.

Beanie thought he was hallucinating at first, but as time passed no disillusionment occurred.

It was really just one boy, clearly his baby Theo.

Immediately, Beanie’s feet moved, increasing pace, and the next moment he was already rushing towards the boy’s direction.

However, before he could get close, a man stood guardedly between.

Beanie frowned at the intruder, but his annoyance softened a bit when he saw through the pant shape. He realized that the man’s lower legs seemed to be made of sticks.

"What is it?" He asked with relative politeness, all things considered. Though as he asked, his eyes was fixed on the little boy taking the slide with a happy smile.

The dark-skinned man followed his eyes and looked at him guardedly, and his next words raised all of Beanie’s hackles.

"Why are you running towards my son?"

"YOUR son?!" Beanie was naturally triggered by his words. "Theo is MY son!" He yelled, now looking at the other man as an eyesore.

"What? You are… Theo’s father?" The man asked, surprised that he knew the boy’s name. It was at this point that a woman came and stood beside the man.

Beanie watched the man’s stance soften as the woman held his arm. The man smiled sadly, and just patted her hand before turning back to him.

"Do you have proof?"

Beanie paused, thinking about how to prove something like this?
