After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 610

In another street, Bruce, with Rebi and little Lina had separated from the other slaves from the mines to peruse the rest of the territory.

They knew for sure that the Bright Territory folks were around here somewhere, and they hoped to encounter them. Not to mention, they might find people they knew among the locals!

They encountered a few people on the ground and they would help them get to where the Alterans set up some minor treatment hubs.

These places were located in various houses spread around the territory, near where the battles occurred. Here, Alterans would give some diluted potions to those who needed them, but only once and they would vary the dosage depending on how harsh the person’s injuries were.

For now, this was all for free, and it really added prestige to the territory that took over their own.

It took Bruce and the others a while to find Bright Citizens who joined in the attack but, when they did, they encountered the former lord himself!

Micheal was helping out with the injured slaves at this time and, as Bruce and the others approached him, they immediately became respectful. "Milord…"

"I’m not the lord anymore," Micheal said, patting his shoulder as he looked at him. He was thin and bloodied but somehow all his appendages were working well and his drive to survive was strong.

"I heard you guys were rescued from the mines?"

"Yes, sir," Bruce said, looking at the Alterans—except for the seriously injured—every one of which was busy helping someone or a group. "The Alterans, they… they’re really so good."

Micheal smiled. "We are lucky to have them on our side," he said, looking at him. "You did well, too."

Bruce nodded and looked at him. "I heard my daughter…"

"She’s safe, Tom and the others are raising her well," he said. "She’s living very well right now. She even made friends."

Although the Alterans had told him about her, it still felt different coming from a fellow Bright Villager who had traveled the whole time with his daughter.

A part of him thought that the Alterans could just be comforting him. Besides, they didn’t know him that well. What if they mistook him for someone else? What if the girl they were talking about was another Lily?

Of course he hoped the best for his daughter, but he couldn’t help but worry endlessly for her.

As such, when Micheal himself confirmed their words, Bruce couldn’t help sobbing as if it was the first time he heard of it.

"Oh… god, thank you…" he sobbed, sitting down on the floor as he released all the tension he had in him.

Behind him, Rebi’s eyes glazed with tears, happy for his friend and also feeling melancholic for his own situation.

On the other hand, little Lina watched both of her uncles look like this with glazed eyes. From most angles, one could see a little girl looking a bit worried for her guardians but, if one looked closer, one would be able to see an incomprehensible expression on her face…

And it was one that resembled annoyance.

…

At this time, the other ’slaves’ from the mines were also looking around for family and acquaintances.
