After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 500

Altera, a few days later

"What if one of them were asked to swear an oath?" Althea asked, thinking of it out of nowhere. She was currently playing with the babies—for the first time in so many days—in the living room.

They were just so busy. In her case, she had to improve various formulas and improve the production line of medicines. Every other elder and expert also had their hands full.

"It’ll depend on the wording," Garan said, lifting Meatball upwards in a floating motion. He did this a few more times, mouthing ’Fly’ as he did so.

Little Meatball: ???

Althea didn’t see this as she gently poked her daughter’s plump tummy, making the baby giggle. She smiled a little, but even her babies’ adorableness wasn’t enough to distract her worry.

She sighed. "We didn’t think to orient them on that."

"Well, believe in your people," he said, leaning down to kiss her cheek as he held Meatball. "We’re sending an advanced party to map out the area as well. That way, they would be nearby in case something happens."

"They also need to be able to determine where Fargo would be during the war. I really hope to get that token."

Garan nodded with a determined look on his face. "And you’ll get it."

Althea blinked, knowing her husband’s propensity to do some extreme things to give her gifts.

"But if there’s too much trouble or risk, just kill Fargo. That’d be fine."

At worst, Fargo Village would dissipate and they’d just have to travel farther to get the limestone. It would be a challenge, even if they tap Eagle’s space as well, but it was doable.

Days had passed since Juni and the others left and it was finally nearing the time of war declaration. During the past few days, everyone had been preparing, but in a low-key manner.

Although Fufi and Gochi were tasked to go around the territory for spies, they were still not a fool-proof way of finding them so they didn’t dare be too open with their movements.

For instance, they’d have a difficult time finding spies if they had no real

malice against Altera, as in the person was only doing his or her job.

They would also have trouble if there was no scent related to Fargo anymore, which could easily be fixed by a good bath. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

In fact, only core people and guards knew about the upcoming war. At least until the day itself. The rumor going around was that the territory was preparing for a huge beast tide, and thus everyone was preparing for it.

During this time, dozens of people had also awakened, with the soldiers focusing on training those on the verge of upgrading.
