After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Another Terran Territory
At the sight of saviors and survivors, the heavy atmosphere from both parties immediately lit up.

Instead of speaking, Garan simply led the bigger team to continue on as if nothing happened. They could catch up eventually, but their loved ones couldn’t wait any more.

Not to mention, more mobs could be attracted by all this blood. There were so many refugees and only over a dozen of them—they wouldn’t be able to protect all of these people even if they had an overwhelming strength advantage against the monsters they encountered.

So this was why the team didn’t stop to chat. Rather the two groups simply converged into a line.

The refugees understood and followed, and behaved, while unable to stop giving admiring gazes at the soldiers but were afraid to act too closely.

Although they had good impressions of soldiers, the corrupt guards of their former territories unconsciously made them afraid of people in power.

Especially… such powerful people. They’re probably very arrogant, right?

It didn’t help that when they encountered a mob, they were dealt with in a few blinks.

Such strong monsters with thick skinned were killed so easily. If they offended these people, would they get pulverized?

So the group of three hundred people walked in silence for hours until it was time for dinner. They camped in a relatively large clearing they found after clearing out the mobs they encountered, using them as meat by the way.

The more gregarious soldiers like Luis started talking to the refugees as the others prepared the food—with the help of tens of refugees, of course.

“So… what happened to you guys?”

The people near him flinched a bit, but saw he was a young lad with a friendly smile, their shoulders slumped in relief. “Our territory fell as well. We were allies with Porta—the territory where we met—but…

“Well, at least we survived.”

Luis nodded, “Is this all of you? From your old territory.”

“Well, everyone panicked and ran to different directions.”

“I see, I see… then did you happen to encounter someone with the name…” Luis began to enumerate various names, though no information about them was found.

Similarly, the other soldiers saw this and followed his lead. However, even with this, no one got news that they wanted.

“Well, no news is good news,” Sammy said with an awkward smile, trying to convince himself more than anyone else. “It would be better than hearing they perished, right?”

With that, the sad topic was temporarily put aside, and the teams focused on filling their stomachs for another day of fighting ahead.

For dinner, they had barbeque using the meat of the monsters they just killed. The refugees were the ones who cleaned up the meat, while the soldiers handled it with a diluted version of the Captain’s signature sauce.

Adding a bit of their seasoning to improve the taste, the aroma that wafted to everyone’s noses automatically made their stomachs churn.

The soldiers asked them to line up properly, and they were for the most part behaved, no matter how impatient they were.

They left the meat in the center, and anyone could take it. Fortunately, there wasn’t anyone expecting to be served and filed properly, only taking one per person.

What they didn’t know was that there were indeed people who had planned on using moral kidnapping. But the coldness of the captain scared them to death.

Soon, the first batch of refugees managed to get a hold of a stick, immediately bringing them to their mouths, and they almost cried.

“Amazing…” they said, even if they burned their tongues a bit for being too hasty.

Some people even outright sobbed, happy to finally taste something decent.

More than the luxury of flavor, it was more an excitement to the soul.

Gill looked around and found someone. He was lined up near the end.

Gill approached him, ignoring the ogles of the others, especially the women. “You.” He called the bald man from earlier.

“Me?”

“What’s your name?”

“Rodney..”

“You’re not bad.” He said, and handed him a seasoned meat. And some cotton pants…

His eyes sparkled but he was a little puzzled by the special treatment, so he was reluctant to take it immediately.

Gill sighed and just left the items in his hand before returning to the group, leaving a dumbfounded Rodney standing.

…

Garan’s team started eating their own food, while the others set up their own fires and stoves.

Some were creative and added some familiar fruits and herbs, while some really knew how to handle the tangy monster meats.

The soldiers were also eating quite happily when a soft sultry voice sounded next to them.

“May I also have?” Luis and Sammy gaped at the beautiful woman who approached them.

Luis abruptly stood up, recognizing her immediately. She was wearing plain clothing and was a little dirty, but the pretty face of Terran’s biggest female star was still recognizable.

She was also of normal weight—still quite sexy—unlike many of her companions who were emaciated. “Miss Juni! Wow, I’m a fan!”

Juni was a starlet that debuted just a few years prior, but was shot up to stardom by talent and some well-chosen movies and dramas. By the time the Migration happened, she was already one of the biggest stars.

In fact, she had just won Eden’s most prestigious Best Actress award before the Migration happened.

Luis had followed her since her debut and was very excited to interact with her. He looked around. “Is Fable here? He’s my idol!”

Juni smiled awkwardly, “Don’t listen to rumors. We were barely even friends.”

Luis nodded even if a bit disappointed. However, he soon snapped out of it as he thought she was hungry so he happily gave her a stick of meat.

“Thank you,” she said, releasing a gorgeous smile.

Fanboy-Luis was taken to the stars by her smile.

What he didn’t expect was the woman’s eyes turned to give furtive glances in a direction.

It wasn’t obvious at first, but he caught her doing so more than once as she ate. Luis blinked curiously and followed her line of sight, ending on their deputy.

Why would Juni be looking at Deputy Captain Gill?

Juni frowned when she looked at Gill, not even turning to her direction, even when they were only a meter apart.

But Juni didn’t say anything, she just ate her piece and thanked the group for the hospitality, paying a piece of silver before going. Luis naturally tried to reject it but she shook her head.

“Please, it is for my own comfort.” She said, and Luis reluctantly accepted the money.

While mysterious, no one really thought too deeply about it and the group soon went on their way, with torches on hand lit by the fire users in the team.

This was a novel experience for the people, to travel so long at night time with so much light.

A few hours later, the line stopped and the crowd curiously looked at what caused it in front. Some even walked closer to see and everyone looked at what was in front of them in awe.

A stone wall. A 3-meter-high one at that! And a level 3 wall meant there were sentries.

This was a territory! A strong one!

The people cheered and they immediately went to the gates, entering with anticipation of some well-deserved rest.

And when the familiar ding resounded inside their heads, everyone smiled. ‘Finally!’ they mused and immediately looked at the name of the territory to remember it by.
