After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 517

At some point though, the guards paused, looking at each other through the sparse lighting around the territory. Their feet halted, eyes showing a bit of greed.

"If she gets into the Rongo area… would we really get a taste?" someone asked the question that had been in all the men’s minds. The mercenary team had scores of people in their territory. Juni was so beautiful. Everyone would want to have a taste, and she’d definitely keep them happy for a while.

Juni’s eyes narrowed at this and looked around, before she pulled out a needle from her space, inconspicuously poking him with it.

"Ouch!" the man yelled, his eyes twitching and cursing in wonder if there was a mosquito that entered.

He couldn’t utter a word though because a moment later he lost consciousness, falling down, and shaking as if he had epilepsy.

For a territory like Fargo where the leading class relished in violence, adding rules and regulations against it was incredibly impractical and costly. Altera was determined to use it against them.

"Ouch!" Juni yelled as they fell down. She moved just enough for the man not to fall on her, but she did still fall down. The other guards put the torch near the other to see closer, and were shocked to see him bubbling on the mouth.

"OI! What’s going on with you?"

"He must’ve eaten something weird outside damn."

No one suspected her at all. After all, she had ’sworn an oath’. Besides, what could a vase like her do?

Instead, she just sniffed, "Take me to my room please," she said, "I’m afraid the team would be angry if we take too long."

The guard flinched at this and shook in fear, obviously remembering whatever heinous thing the mercenary did. How dare they want to get a taste at this time?

So in the end, one of the guards just dragged the man to the clinic, while the rest took her to the Rongo Hall. They were in a rush so no one carried her anymore, just letting her run with them.

The Rongo Mercenary Team base was a relatively large complex in the inner circle. It was surrounded by level 30 walls and composed of dozens of custom houses.

It also had a lot more torches than most places and Juni took this time to map out her surroundings. She took particular note of the areas that seemed to be guarded the most, adding it to her mental lists of things to remember.

She didn’t even take heed of the various men who looked at her hungrily until a few blocked their way.

"That’s the woman right? Is she finally ours?" One asked, looking at Juni up and down while licking his lips. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the ’merchandise’.

The guard looked at him guardedly. "Yes, but isn’t your boss Belize the priority?"

"Eh, he’s a bit busy now. You know? One of the lord’s old women—the dark skinned one—seemed to be serving him well."

The guard looked at them to see whether they were telling the truth. He shrugged in the end and handed Juni over, not really caring anymore.

Juni looked at the men who looked at her hungrily, but she avoided their hold—surprising them a bit. She kept her head up high and looked at them. It irked them a bit.

"Didn’t you see how I was escorted here?" She asked. The men paused and looked at her.

She was escorted on foot and at a good pace, not dragged, and she looked proper.
