After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 75

Altera.

Althea and the others watched as the small fireworks lit up the sky with mixed emotions.

It really wasn’t much, as she didn’t have much waste guns and gunpowder, but it was enough to alert the survivors.

"It was really short though, I hope a lot of people saw it." Sheila mumbled, looking at the now dark sky with worry.

"There should be." Eugene said, "Considering that other than the moon, there are no other sources of light at this time. The contrast would be enough for at least a few groups to see."

"There will also be monsters, however," Eugene added, looking at Althea with apprehension.

She looked at them, nonchalant about this issue.

As for the monsters that it would attract, the expensive sentry towers should be able to deal with them.

"Let’s trust my very expensive defense system." Was all she said, very vaguely.

"I also want to see the sentry towers at work..." Sheila mumbled, looking very curious. Althea blinked, looking at them.

"Then why don’t you take advantage of them and train?"

The trio simultaneously turned to look at her, suddenly enlightened.

As such, everyone (along with Maya and Fufi) actually decided to go out and train a bit.

Maybe they could even rescue a few people on the way.

As for Althea, pregnancy lethargy already attacked so she was already in bed (in a bedroom this time, because it was weird to sleep alone in the living room).

As she laid down her duvet, she began chatting leisurely with her babies, just before drifting to sleep.

…

500 meters from the Walls

"Are you sure this is the right way?!" Baron asked, panting, his flabby belly bouncing as he darted forward with all his might.

He pressed his chest and his kidney, to ease the discomfort. They were getting painful from all the excess running.

"Didn’t I tell you? I was awarded the—" Bianca breathed in, lacking air. "—Best Girlscout for three years straight!"

Bianca said so with a lot of pride, even as she was gasping for breath, offended that she was being questioned.

Baron rolled his eyes. Yes, of course, he remembered, her mother never stopped bragging about it to his mother.

But he couldn’t even make a snide response because he was too tired and his legs were heavy as lead.

He couldn’t help but look behind as he ran, and his heart dropped at how close the small mob was!

They even increased in number!

Damnit!

Their small group went beyond their limits to escape, hoping to finally reach a safe place.

But they were humans and no matter what, their bodies would reach their absolute maximum limit in the end.

Baron could feel he was nearing his.

But someone yelled words that made him go even farther.

"I see it! There’s a wall!"

"A wall?!"

The group sprinted in the direction, no longer caring if they lost their legs in the process.

However, a monster suddenly sprinted and extended its arms. His cousin was nicked by a claw directly at her back. "Ah!"

"Bianca!!"

"I’m fine! Just run!" Bianca gritted her teeth and pushed on. It was as if she wasn’t bleeding heavily at all.

However, there was an undergrowth that Baron was unable to avoid, and he lost his balance, precisely 120 meters from the wall.

He felt like he lost all remaining blood in despair.

Nonononono

He tried to crawl, no longer able to feel his legs. His companions had sprinted forward with their entire beings, not noticing someone was left behind.

He could hear the monster closing in, its mouth, its breath, and Baron thought it was his end.
