After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 523

Chapter 523: Monster Breach (Part 1)
Fargo, Present

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The eerie sound of the monsters banging on the walls and the gate echoed in the territory, waking everyone up even before Fargo could announce the upcoming war.

“What’s going on?” The guards yelled, and it so happened that a few dozen men had entered the territory. They were guards, for sure, and they had been looking for them for a while! “Hey!”

They come back after going missing for so long, and even bringing along a mob with them! The bastards!

But the newcomers—all bloodied and terrified—were only shaking. “Kill them! Kill them!” They yelled, before pushing themselves up and running in various directions.

ROARR!!

This seemed to have made the monsters even angrier, banging on several sections of the wall with all their might.

At first, the guards around could not be bothered by the newcomers and gathered together to stab down the monsters. The guard captain in the area happened to be Peko, who had just been promoted from guarding the mines. He stared at one of the guards, yelling at them.

“Where’s Victor?! Call them!” This had been their default move the past few weeks and it had always served them well.

However, some minutes later, the guards returned with pale faces.

“Their house is empty!!”

“What?!” Peko yelled and the other guards gaped at them. Victor and the others weren’t here? Were they supposed to kill all these monsters—averaging level 8—all by themselves?

They tried to stab down the monsters, but their levels weren’t very high—those who were level 9 and above were precisely the people who brought these beasts here—and soon more and more guards were pulled down the wall to be mauled by the monsters.

What’s worse, they noticed that there were more and more monsters getting attracted and they were starting to feel the wall crumble.

“SHIT!!!”

Anyway, they didn’t want to risk their lives for the monsters. One by one, the guards either fell to the monsters’ mouths or left the area.

They ran away, leaving the wall completely vulnerable!

BANG!

BANG!

CRASH!

ROARRR!!

As such, it didn’t take long before several sections of the wall gave way, the monsters who had managed to squeeze in immediately ran in specific directions!

That was—oddly—towards the bloodied newcomers they had been following!

“WHAT THE—” One yelled as he dragged himself. He was one of the heavily injured ones who had used all his strength to get back to the territory. But, for some reason, even when there were so many houses with so many people, the monster somehow found him!

He was thrown up, landing straight to the monster’s mouth.

Squelch, squelch, squelch

One of his companions saw this and cursed, running in the direction of the smaller houses in hopes of getting it off his tail. “SHIT! SHIT!”

He ran as fast as his body allowed. He went through the streets, damaging a few houses, and eventually reached the shanty areas full of unprotected people!

The people from the shanties had run away as soon as they realized the walls were breached. They had learned the hard way that their homes would be the first to be destroyed during a breach.

“KYAAA!” Screams abound and everyone went away, looking for new places to hide.

“HELP ME, PLEASE!”

“HELPPP!”

“QUEIT!” Vivian yelled, trying to keep her calm as she saw the corner end of the area had monsters running through. “They’re not here yet! Do you want them to go to us?!”

This shut the people up and many followed Vivian, who seemed to have kept her head. Vivian was a journalist who went through various things to get a scoop. She naturally had a better reaction than everyone else.

As for why she was living in the shanties, Vivian had spent all her money trying to send her husband some food. How could she afford a house?

As they ran around as quietly as they could, hoping for the monsters flowing in not to go to their area, to find a place to hide, some doors opened up.

“Here!” A young lad said, behind one of the doors. Vivian’s eyes widened and nodded gratefully, and several people entered the house along with her.

With his lead, more and more doors opened and the people hid inside with bated breath.

Fortunately, most of the people in system houses opened their doors to help them out, one of the few hopeful things to see even in such a situation.

Of course, not everyone could be saved, especially when the men were desperate to shake away the monsters.

The monsters somehow still found the bloodied guards a lot more interesting and—while there was plenty of collateral damage by monsters barrelling towards the people—they were always after the same men, so the deaths were far less than one would expect.

ROARRRR!

A monster passed by and they felt the ground shaking. People held back their gasps as a few walls took direct hits, and to be honest it felt like directly hitting on their hearts.

“GET OUT YOU BASTARDS!” They would hear the men yell as they passed, but of course, no one did.

ROARRR!

The monster passed by, intent on following specific people for some reason, but no one dared to feel relieved just yet. When it turned quiet, the roars and screams becoming farther away, several people finally let out their sobs.

“Wuu…”

“Another breach…”

“How long will this house hold up?”

“Not again, not again… wuu…”

They were reminded of the sufferings during the previous breach. Many people sobbed and prayed, hoping for them to get out of this alive.

Anyway, while the chaos from the mobs was going on, they all hid inside the houses. Even the lowest system house was still relatively durable.

In another area, the doctors immediately called all their patients inside, locking the openings as well as they could using the commissioned beds. The windows here could swing open outside, which would be difficult to open by the brainless monsters, but it was one of the vulnerable spots that would break first in case of direct monster attacks.

“Aren’t Victor and the others around?” Dr. Cynthia asked, patting a young girl shaking in her embrace. Dr. Lu sighed.

“I’m not sure, they mentioned they would have to go into hiding because Fargo is killing them off.”

At this, several people cursed at Fargo and his men. “Those bastards!”

“Are they stupid? Controlling such people and making them guard their territory for them was one thing, but to kill them off?”

“They probably got too strong.”

“Our lord is really cursed!”

At this point, everyone was just afraid not to survive the night with this mob, and decided they could let go of all their bitterness.

They suffered for so long already, and they could manage to hold on due to various hopes—the soldiers being one of them!

Now, that was gone too!

Now, Fargo would have free reign over them again. If so—what was the point of living? But they didn’t want to die, so what could they do?

They could only curse the lord and his cronies in their hearts, wishing them the worst.

This was a sight that happened althroughout the territory. Whether it was people finding places to hide—knowing that no one would be fighting for them anymore—and also some who whispered their bitterness towards the ruling party.

This was just like the last beast tide breach. The guards ignored their pleas, locking them out to die outside. Their saviors died one by one, and now it was happening again!

[Announcement: Kill the monsters and gain 10 extra silver per monster slayed]

An announcement resounded across the territory, but no one went out.

Curse them! They would hide to survive as long as they could, but there was no way they’d protect their territory just so those bastards could hide away while they risked their own necks!

They’d rather try their luck inside the safety of their homes. Even if the lord offered rewards to fight outside—it was likely they’d just be thrown as meatshields if they went out now!

Fargo—fuck you!
