After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 568

Instead, they just relaxedly stretched their arms, looking around and seeing the previously bustling estate completely empty. "Are we the only ones left here?"

"Nah, there should still be a couple of people inside," the other said. "The enemy is just a village, after all."

"I think they still moved too many of us," Mercenary #1 said in distaste.

They heard that the enemies had yet to show up. He thought it was an overkill to get almost everyone moving.

More accurately, it’s offensive to make everyone from the Mercenary team—one that generally mobilized in towns—move for a mere village. Even if there were only a few of them here, it didn’t mean they were less than their companions currently in towns.

The other shrugged. "Must be fun to go massacre outside." How could they have so much fun, if the people here weren’t so weak? In towns, they still had to walk on eggshells! Here, they can do whatever they want!

Mercenary #1 looked at him. "You really wanna join?"

"I’m kidding," he laughed. Who wanted extra work when they can have fun just ’watching the base’? "Let’s just go have fun with the ladies~"

Hearing this Victor and the others had the urge to just attack and kill.

The men immediately turned, one even with his weapon out, narrowing their eyes in a direction. "Did you sense that?"

"What?"

"I swear I felt violent energy."

"It’s just you being horny."

The man’s eyebrows rose. "Ah, you think so?"

And they turned, looking forward to another fun night with the pretty ladies.

Victor and the others gritted their teeth as they watched the two mercenaries leave, feeling heavy and finding it extremely difficult to hold themselves back.

The main goal here was, naturally, for them to help out the victims trapped in the place. The job was especially fitting for them to do as they had been staying in the territory for a long time and may even know of the victims.

It was not the time to rescue directly because they didn’t know exactly how many enemies there were and, from the mercenaries’ conversation, they definitely still had a few companions inside.

The only thing they knew for certain was that the location of the women’s dorm was at the edge—passing through various modules to get there. Without knowing how they’d get mobbed, it would be foolish to barrel forward—no matter how much they wanted to.

They no longer had paralysis or smoke bombs, and they definitely wouldn’t have much effect if the enemy was strong.

Putting aside the fact that the two mercenaries they saw were also higher in level than the previous ones, what if there were people beyond the level cap within the area? Those people might not be able to attack the trespassers, but they could definitely stop whatever plans of rescue they had.

It was simply too risky.

Even if there weren’t, if they went to the women first, the chaos would be much bigger and the enemies could even capture hostages. It was best to weaken the enemy before they rescued the women.

But… what would the women suffer in the meantime? They couldn’t guarantee how long they’d take—

"I’ll distract them," Amos said, "At least delay their access to the women."

"What?"

"I… I used to run and hide a lot growing up," he said, "And I’m not as strong as you guys."

The soldiers looked admiringly at the young man. This was a risky endeavor, but they knew it was the best course of action.

The boy didn’t wait anymore nor could they stop him. He immediately emerged from their hiding spot.

"WHERE’S MY SISTER!!!" he bellowed, eyes red from anger.

This made the men turn, shocked. "Oi! You—"

The soldiers watched as the young man ran away in the opposite direction, extremely fast, and was quickly followed up by the two men five levels stronger than he was.

Victor and the others immediately went to work, their hearts only praying the boy ran fast enough.

"Let’s go purge their personnel there and take the women," Victor said, quietly so only they could hear. The others nodded in agreement, completely ready to fight.
