After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 371

The unknown name made every customer look at them, very intrigued. "Wow, Altera sounds like an interesting place! Is it a new city?"

Another one nodded, thinking of towns that could’ve upgraded, "Although I’ve never heard of a town before, I assume it’s just somewhere a bit far…"

The soldiers couldn’t help but look at each other before correcting their customers. "It’s still a village. A very good one!" Luis answered the woman, who gaped in response.

"Really?"

"Yes~"

She turned to her husband. "How curious…"

While they were dubious as to how ’good’ a village could be, they were intrigued enough by the materials they offered.

The man nodded, "Maybe I’ll visit it someday."

Luis looked at the couple curiously. Only him? Not even thinking of bringing his wife? And the woman only seemed a bit disappointed, but otherwise accepting.

Then they left and he noticed the woman was always a step behind, like about 90% of other couples around. Because they were so preoccupied before, he admitted that he had never taken notice of such an obvious thing.

In contrast, there was also another couple nearby, who seemed to be shopping for stuffed toys for their child back home. They were very giggly and unusually sweet in Xeno local standards.

The couple left lovingly holding hands. Luis and Mao couldn’t help but look dreamily, "How nice… didn’t know there were still such couples among aborigines."

Mao nodded, chewing on something, "Well, even when culture is a problem, some ways to show love is the same."

Gill, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but go deep in thought about various memories.

One of which was in the outskirts of Ferrol Town, over a week prior—

Two lumbering creatures with sharp scales and claws stared at him with ravenous malice. Gill tightened the hold of his spear, watching for any sudden movements.

There are only a few days until the Protection Period is over, he must get stronger!

The silence snapped as one of the monsters lunged forward, taking down a couple of trees in his trail.

Gill jumped to avoid an attack, but it suddenly shifted its attack and opened its mouth. Gill immediately raised his spear to block it, the strong momentum pushing him back a bit.

He manipulated the earth below him to keep him stable, and he couldn’t help but look at his sole ’audience’ a couple meters away.

"What are you doing here?" Gill asked, tone a bit annoyed, as he dealt laboriously with the level 15 monsters three levels below him.

Damned monsters and their hard skins.

In his momentary distraction, he was almost bitten by the monster’s partner that suddenly attacked from the side. He used his spear to stop each of them.

He sent a glare in a direction. He was not in the mood for her right now.

Cassandra ignored him and waved her sword, gesturing to assist him and taking on the other monster. It was just that Gill stopped her, telling her she was a burden.

She looked absolutely offended by this. "Don’t forget: My level is higher than yours~"

"Tsk. Not for long," Gill snapped back. He never really took these levels as seriously as aborigines. What was level if one didn’t have the combat ability? This place had way too many fighting balloons.

He placed his attention back to the fight. In a swift motion, Gill jumped back and pulled his spear from the two monsters. He immediately thrust his spear into the ground, sending a shockwave through the earth, and then pulled it diagonally, sending earth spikes in the direction of the monsters. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

One monster was successfully put off balance for a few seconds while the other lunged at him, blocked by his poor spear.

He struggled to push the damned thing, stopping its big mouth from eating half of him. He had to endure seeing its disgusting mouth, saliva, and breath that reeked of sulfur.

Cassandra saw that she was being ignored (again), and decided to take matters into her own hands—that was, join him in the fight.

"I’ll show you techniques passed down in my family~" She said confidently, strutting to the monster. "Don’t be too mesmerized."

Gill sneered at her, acerbic as always, and just focused on the monster on hand.

As he dealt with the monster, barely avoiding its bite, his peripheral couldn’t help but notice the girl gracefully swinging the sword.

The monster was around her height even on all-fours, but she didn’t show much fear. He watched as she evaded the attacks, lunging at the creature with fluid motions, trying to hit the weak spots as best she could.

But he frowned and focused on the task at hand—which he was almost got distracted from—and his hit was even stronger due to venting.
