After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Before Entering Fargo
A little over a day later, Drake, Jona, Amos, and Juni arrived at the outskirts of Fargo. It was already late into the day, but their travel was more or less safe thanks to the Beast Repelling Potion that really worked wonders.

Of course, they didn’t abuse it, in case they needed to use it for other emergencies. When they felt too tired but needed to go on, only then would they reapply it.

Most of the time, when it lost effect they just let it be. Rather, they would use the few mobs that managed to come as training blocks to help the women level up.

By the time they got close enough to the vicinity, Juni had upgraded to level 9, while Jona had landed on level 8.

Fortunately, the monsters around were never more than level 10, mostly level 7 or 8, and the new Elementalists Drake and the strong peak-level 9 Amos were able to handle them well enough.

Drake had also been practicing his element—the rare electric element—along with his shield. He had an iron shield made by their armory, and he naturally used its metallic composition to increase the damage of his element.

As before, he still needed to find weaknesses, especially if the monster had great insulation skin, but when he did breach this weakness, then the damage was really significant.

It was akin to burning a monster inside.

Speaking of his electric ability, many people thought it was very cool and tried to charge their precious devices with his help. Someone was brave and decided to sacrifice his phone as guinea pig.

Sadly, Drake lacked control and ended up burning the phone, and that poor person lost the contents of his phone (spoiler: It was Luis). Since then, no one dared to beg for him to charge their phones again.

Next to him, Amos also showed his spear-wielding skills. He had only been here for a couple of months and had no formal training before, but his movements were very natural—almost as if he had been training for years.

It could be seen how he had a level-A potential. Since as far as Altera was a level 1 Village, he and Reno had pretty much taken this kid under their wings, and his improvement was indeed very good.

Although he was young, Drake really felt reassured by him. Amos felt this a bit and his attacks became more and more passionate, and at some point the girls were clapping their hands.

He was very shy though and almost hid behind Drake, who was not much better than he was in dealing with the women.

Anyway, after another day of travel, the group stopped at a distance away from Fargo. They would be separating ways here into pairs. Using Drake’s Terran binoculars, they took a closer look at the territory they would be attacking soon.

“Wow… they’re really in a valley…” Jona said after borrowing it. Juni nodded, looking at the good location.

“How nice…”

“Altera is still so much nicer though,” Amos added and everyone else agreed.

“If the Altera… system… got this place, it would have been a fairyland by now,” Amos mumbled. Nobody still knew if there was a lord or if it was really a system, but whatever the ‘being’ was, they only had admiration for it.

Drake frowned and looked at them, “You can’t be mentioning Altera here anymore, especially not in such a tone.”

“A-Ah! Yes.” Amos said, lightly slapping his own mouth in embarrassment. It was hard to stop; he really liked Altera so much.

Anyway, they didn’t arrange themselves or even take a bath during this time so their refugee status was believable enough.

“Let’s separate now,” Drake said. At least if one of them was suspected, the other pair could still do their jobs. They had also been given rough instructions on what to do if one of them was caught so that the more critical tasks would still move despite it.

“Amos and Juni would be entering first,” he said, looking at the two.

Amos blushed in shyness. He was really not great at social interactions—not surprising due to his upbringing—and he really couldn’t handle someone with such a strong sense of presence.

Juni looked at the kid. Very cute. “So… what’s our story?” She asked. The kid had been protecting the two of them women, but he had stuck with Drake every other time.

Drake wasn’t very good with beautiful women so, except for those times when she and Jona were chattering, one could imagine the awkward silences that pass by the group when there was no monster attacking them.

At her question, the boy flushed even more. “I…”

Juni giggled, deciding to stop teasing the kid. Anyway, as an actor, she had become a bit of a writer as well.

“So.. since we know I was running away after being dumped, I encountered a lot of dangers. I was rescued by a young lad of great talent,” she said, “The ex-actress was then charmed by him and decided to take him on as a younger brother.”

She then looked at the young lad who had been admiringly watching her concoct a story. “Call me big sister.”

“B-Big S…” he breathed in, “Sister.”

Jona laughed at the interaction, while Drake shook his head. However, if one looked close enough, one could see the upward tilt of his lips.

Jona slyly looked at Drake, leaning over. “What’s our story?”

The man’s eyes twitched and he scooted a little bit away from the clingy woman.

“I’ll think about it,” he said. They had time because they couldn’t be arriving too soon after Amos and Juni had.

After some lightheartedness though, the four people could only look at each other, atmosphere suddenly doused with heaviness. They knew what came after could get dangerous, after all.

Drake sighed and looked at each of them.

“Be careful, everyone. Like I said, your life is the priority. As long as you don’t intentionally put the lives of other Alterans at risk, we will understand whatever you decide to do to ensure your lives.”

They nodded and started to move—starting one the most important missions of their lives.
