After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 407

While some women spent the day relaxing and chatting with overall good vibes, another one spent it in tears.

"Danny. Please!" The woman sobbed, grabbing the man’s hairy arm. "Please listen to me…"

"Get out!!" The middle-aged man yelled as he pulled away his arm. He pointed at the door with a livid expression on his face.

It was just that his unattractive face and thinning hair made him look a bit funny. Well, except for Ramona who was definitely depending on him for her current lifestyle—one incomparable to the life she had been living since arriving in this hell.

Ramona knew this very much, so she kneeled down to his feet, sobbing, and looking very, very, pitiful.

She had finally lived comfortably again—she could be clean, she could buy what she wanted, and she could eat whatever she felt like eating—how could she let this go??

"No, no, no! I just hated Althea so much! I wanted to irk her! It doesn’t mean anything! I didn’t mean to offend Garan!" She yelled, grabbing his flabby arm, but it only irked him instead.

He sneered. "You idiot!! That was an elder! The main helm of the military power! The husband of the richest person in this place!!" He yelled, sprinkling saliva all over her face.

"What were you thinking?!" He asked, looking at her as if the answer was that she wasn’t—that she didn’t have a working brain!

At this time, he truly believed so. "I just moved here to live a good life!!" He said, continuing to rant.

"How dare you try to ruin it?!" He yelled. If there wasn’t a ban on fighting here, based on how livid he looked, Ramona thought he’d be hitting her by now.

"No, please," she sobbed, over and over. She wanted people to hear and pity her, to pressure him to ’let her go’. "I’ll be good! Please! I love you, please don’t kick me out!!"

Unfortunately for her, every building, Aether or not, had very good insulation. No one heard her cries at all.

Eventually, Ramona did realize this and she just flushed in shame.

Instead of blaming herself or the man in front of her, however… the image of the glamorous woman passed by her head instead.

’This is all your fault!!!’

…

At this time, Oslo was resting in Belluga village.

Yes, Belluga village.

He still couldn’t believe he had taken the wrong way!

Apparently, he should’ve taken the East gate! Ansel’s horrible sense of direction definitely rubbed off him!

(To be fair, even if the Map showed them where they had been, his home city was too far off, there would be no indication of the connecting path at all.)

As for how he found out the way in the end, it was because he finally remembered that many moons ago, his father snuck him a magic tool called the Fixed Compass. It was a compass pointing to their home. It didn’t mention the distance, but it showed the direction of that place.

The condition for it to work was that it would only activate one month after he entered the signature teleportation array of the Chancery of Appointments.

It was a very special item with added special restrictions. It could be said that his family really invested a lot in his ’training’.

So, here he was, heading to the eastern allied village instead. He was too ashamed to go back to Altera to pass through there so he took a slightly longer and rougher terrain instead.

’Ah...Belluga village’, Oslo recalled with a bit of dread. He knew this to be the village with its eccentric Lord—the man-hungry one.

Because of the status of women, it was very very rare to see women in position of power, and it was unheard of to see a woman with so many men. Even if the girl wasn’t bad at heart, Oslo didn’t want to be near her at all.

To be safe, he had worn a handkerchief mask—cotton, bought from Altera—on his face.

Feeling a little safer with the ’armor’ he went ahead and walked along the small village.

Like Bright, Belluga also adopted a lot of rules and products of Altera. Life, he heard, had really improved since the Lord and her party returned from a trip.

More and more caravans had been going to and fro Altera, buying many goods that made everyone’s eyes shine.
