After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 59

Althea was in a daze, it felt like she had a very good dream, as if a familiar voice and warmth lulled her to sleep.

She didn’t know what it was but she felt comfortable and safe, as if she just had the most comfortable rest she had in a while.

But before she could dwell on it, the ground started shaking again, completely shaking off all signs of lethargy from her body.

Her heart jumped and her eyebrows furrowed as she quickly packed up and ran to the others.

Everyone else was also woken up by an earthquake and was similarly packing up.

They gathered what they could in space and grabbed the others, running to the nearest exit.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too big of an earthquake and none of them lost their balance as they rushed out.

They quickly got up and ran out of the building, with Harold carrying Eugene and Sheila with Theodore.

"Another mob?!" Harold exclaimed, his gray eyebrows furrowed in worry.

They couldn’t handle that much by themselves! The others couldn’t answer him as they proceeded to run for their lives.

But—

They soon realized the earthquake stopped the moment they got out of the building.

The ground was still and they almost lost their balance, disoriented.

Harold even tripped and barely managed to keep himself from falling, especially since he had a dead weight on his back.

The group couldn’t help but look at each other in puzzlement.

They stared around them to see and found that it was only the buildings that were shaking. And they were shaking by themselves.

"What… is going on?" Harold mumbled out loud and Sheila cluelessly shook her head.

All the commotion also woke up the other two. Eugene groaned and his eyebrows crunched when he saw buildings shake.

He blinked and for a while thought he was dizzy, until he saw that the others were just as confused.

He awkwardly got out of Harold’s back, using the stick in his space as support.

Eventually, the vibrations stopped. For a moment, the air was still and they were extremely puzzled as to what was happening.

However, a change soon happened, and it was as magical as it was depressing.

From the top of the buildings, each building block slowly turned to powder. Slowly, but surely, the ones below suffered the same fate.

Little by little, it was as if the buildings turned to ashes, carried away by the wind.

The group watched as the buildings disintegrated into dust, with a heavy mood.

"How come?" Sheila uttered, looking at her companions in confusion.

Althea stared blankly at the floating dust, feeling melancholic."Perhaps the buildings would fall when the territory did."

"Just now?"

Althea nodded, voicing out her guess. "It could also mean that Bobby King just died."

Everyone was silent, and Althea couldn’t help but think more deeply.

That was to say, if her supposition was correct, when the Lord of a territory died, the entire territory would die with him or her.

Well, at least no citizen of hers would try to attack her if they found out about her status.

Perhaps.

The air was stagnant for a while, with

everyone absorbing what had just happened.

But soon they heard an incongruent sound right next to them.

"—hehe….hehehehehe"

They turned to injured Eugene who was giggling like a lunatic.

He was laughing so hard that he lost support and fell on the dirt. Theo wanted to run to him, but Harold carried the child, afraid the less-abled man had gone insane.

"He finally died." Abruptly stopping and suddenly tears lined up his eyes. "That bastard…" he mumbled, voice speaking as he sobbed. "He threw Mina as a Shield."

When the fence was destroyed the ban for him was also lifted, it was pure luck that there were other people that interested the monsters than the incomplete him.

Perhaps it was also because he smelled a lot like metal, as he had been wearing special bionic legs for years that made him unattractive to the monsters.

Because of this, he was still able to see Mina one last time.

He could still remember what occurred like it was still happening.

That bastard… that bastard threw his Mina out to block an attack. He could still remember Mina’s expression of terror, how she tried to keep to herself holding her stomach, and how useless it was.
