After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 715

Ramona shook at the announcement. But then she thought, it didn’t matter.

Glorious Hospitality had her ex Louie’s back and had networks all over, her reputation was so low someone even threw rotten eggs at her! Then that bastard Danny, during his tavern runs, would often rant about her when he was drunk!

Although Alterra was amazing, her reputation was so bad here she couldn’t hang on to anyone. A place where she can’t live a good life was not a place worth keeping!

She just couldn’t stay here anymore!

It had to be said Ramona was incredibly naive. Not to mention, because she had never participated in wars nor had she ever cared about others, she had no idea just how bad women had it in this world, especially in aborigine territories.

She always had the default ideology of ’the grass being greener on the other side’, making her blind that the land she was on was the best place she could be in.

"Well, okay," Baltimore said, "I remember your contribution." He said, then manifesting a few gold pieces and handed it to her. "Reward, for now, come to me if you have more information."

Her eyes brightened at the gold. Silver would already get her far in Alterra, let alone gold! _{freёwebnovel.com}

She knew her decision wasn’t the wrong one!

She looked at him with dazed and bright eyes. "Yes, yes, thank you," she said, her voice soft. Baltimore looked at her and nodded. "When we obtain this place, you’re going to live better than now," he promised and Ramona almost hugged him.

She knew that she couldn’t compromise herself yet though, so she stopped herself and Baltimore didn’t do anything either.

The group separated from her and left, set to start the next phase of their plans, while Ramona was left there already dreaming of her new life, completely unaware that someone was behind the bushes about a hundred meters away, blinking, and witnessing the whole thing.

…

One of the things about the Sound Blocker was that it not only blocked sounds from within, it also blocked sounds from outside.

Toktok was an eighteen-year-old who found most of her living in the maintenance team, not including the hunting part where she basically hang around the Golden Corner with many others.

The Golden Corner was the safe place between the level 5 main walls and the angle it made with the level 3 secondary wall. Here, they had two sentry walls covering their backs, leaving a small 90 degree opening to guard.

At this time though, she was running to the village center with a purpose.

Not only was it for contribution points, but she really liked Alterra—she couldn’t let anything threaten its safety!

She immediately went to the Guard Station near the barracks. This Guard Station was the equivalent to the police station where people could make reports.

They could report suspicious activities here. They would be taken to take an oath in the village center, and then get contribution points depending on validity and usefulness of the information.

There happened to be a guard currently heading inside, probably just coming back from his rounds.

She went to him and grabbed his arm.

"WHOA!"

He seemed quite surprised to be pulled so suddenly. Angelo was a little ashamed to not notice, but the girl’s sense of presence was really low!
