After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 97

"Boss Sister, boss sisterrr~"

Althea turned to look at two dumplings running towards her with their little legs, propelling them forward with their boundless energy.

Fufi had already bolted some time ago and was now running alongside them.

Maya was ambling towards her with Theo in hand. They had bright smiles on their chubby cheeks and the adults (the farmers and their helpers) who saw them couldn’t help but watch them fondly.

With the current situation and the tragedy everyone went through, even if the kids stood motionless for an hour, there would be someone to dote on them.

Even if it was visualizing the children they lost on them, there would definitely be someone tearing up in the vicinity.

There were also animal lovers, with the survival rate of domestic animals even worse than children. There was definitely no lack of people spoiling Fufi. He had gained a lot of weight and she swore to get someone to train him soon so he didn’t get too unhealthy.

Althea looked beyond them and saw there wasn’t anyone behind the children. Seeing that they were alone running around the territory, Althea knew that the adults had already started working on their respective tasks.

Fortunately, the territory was very safe, and any damage or danger to residents would actually alert the ’authorities’, i.e. currently, just the lord or Drake, whom she assigned as such.

All dangerous flaura, fauna, and insects were also expelled in the area when she created her territory. She found this out when Sheila no longer applied her insect repellant and asked permission to sell only to people going outside, instead.

"Children." She said, patting their little heads as they entered her arm’s length. "Do you want to watch them farm?" She asked, head pointing at the hardworking men (and women) who were occasionally looking in their direction.

"Are they farming now?" Maya looked on with interest. "Like what me and Papa did in the house!"

"Yes," she smiled. "It is indeed very similar to what you did yesterday."

"What are we planting?"

"Rice and wheat. The beef rice meal you like so much couldn’t happen without these."

"Ooooohh." Maya said, fascinated. Theo also had his mouth with an o-shape, showing off his shaky front tooth, also expressing his feelings. It was adorable.

The group of four walked around the fields with interest, and she introduced the kids to the friendly farmers.

Of course kids will be kids, so they did eventually get bored. Seeing this, Althea smiled and looked to a direction, to the undeveloped area of the territory. "Shall we walk around the forests?"

And of course, the kids agreed with glee, and they (including Fufi) bounced about as they followed Althea to the nearby forests.

The perks of under developed territory was that resources were everywhere, and it was safe.

For now, while the population was still small, she didn’t limit the harvesting of resources within the walls too much. At least for now.

The refresh rate was amazing anyway. She’d just add the rule of prohibiting taking the roots.

Although it was difficult for her to lean down, the two children were very good and helped her. She taught them some basic knowledge on how to handle the digging, and how to make sure every harvest was sustainable, in the process.

Surprisingly, Theo’s pick up was even better than Maya. Too bad he couldn’t speak, otherwise he’d have been asking a lot of questions now.
