After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 37

The trio stood back-to-back, defensive, eyes looking guardedly at the new creatures that appeared.

It wasn’t a single group this time. One group was composed of about 7 animals, they were as huge as a bear but with the head of a long-nosed lion.

The other group was even larger in number, about 15 or so, and they looked like green giant rats with short tails.

"I didn’t know your cooking would be so popular with the monsters." Althea mumbled and Sheila gulped in nervousness.

"I… I really didn’t mean to…"

In fact, they’d gladly share the food if it meant they didn’t have to fight.

Sheila would even feel a little like a princess who befriended animals, momentarily dreaming of taming animals with her food.

It was just that the monsters here seemed to be bloodthirsty by nature and even if they were attracted by the soup, their eyes filled with aggressiveness and hunger were directed at them.

Also, her soup really wasn’t anything special.

Althea took out her gun and, as before, didn’t give Sheila one.

After all, the resource was finite and she didn’t want to waste a bullet. Besides, when the bullets were gone and could not be reproduced, learning this skill would be useless.

She took out her katana, placing it parallel to her gun. After the first near-death experience, she wasn’t naive enough to think no monster would be able to get close to her even if she was holding the gun.

In any case, the moment an aggressive monster took a step forward, she would aim and shoot.

Without further ado, several monsters sprinted towards them at the same time and Althea no longer hesitated to defend herself.

Bang!

Bang!

In the few seconds that followed, she took down three. They were very quick, even with her improved aim, she still wasted twice the number of bullets.

Especially that level two, which took 3 shots straight in the eyes before finally dying.

Using the katana already out, she quickly defended herself to monsters she missed, slashing with relative skill.

Althea charged forward a few steps and she quickly parried the sword to an apparent weak spot of its large mouth.

"Kya!" She turned to see Sheila barely avoiding an attack, and she quickly shot its leg.

At this point, Sheila was already full of wounds, and so was Fufi.

Going through the motions, she also assisted Fufi by hitting a few legs by the way.

From her peripheral vision, she could see Fufi darting skilfully between the trees, using its smaller size to his advantage.

She signaled for the two to move to a denser area. They turned to avoid another attack, using the tree to guard their backs.

Her sharp eyes caught an opening and aimed her gun for another shot.

She didn’t get a chance for a breather as another monster, much quicker than most, lunged at her.

She managed to avoid its killing move, but it nicked her arm. Her eyes twitched but she didn’t let it hinder her movements.

She slashed her katana at the monster with precise swings, aiming at its vulnerable spots. But it was strong, its movements were wild and unpredictable.

The katana managed to nick it, and it let out a growl. The wounded monster retaliated, slashing at Althea with its razor-sharp claws.

This was obviously level 3 monster, but still a bit faster than the ones they first encountered.

Coupled with the quantity of monsters around and their swiftly draining spirits, she had a lot more trouble with this one.

Fortunately, she eventually got used to its attack and pacing, managing to injure it more and more with precise cuts.

The moment it slowed down she took out her gun, aimed, and shot.

Bang!

It let out a guttural cry, before finally dropping dead.
