After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 530

Chapter 530: Nowhere in Sight (Part 2)
The people coming from Altera had, in fact, not yet traversed the level 3 inner walls at this time. However, it didn’t mean that a couple of allies were unable to.

At this time, the houses of the main members had caught fire, especially those with a lot of wood. In the interior walls, some fires burned brighter than others.

One of the gangsters managed to get out, with some of his teammates putting out the fire. “There’s someone throwing fire inside the houses!”

He yelled. “Damn! How do the fires spread so quickly?!” Weren’t system buildings supposed to be more durable?

They weren’t even done speaking when an area of another house burst into flames.

Worse, when they tried using water it to calm the fire down, it spread instead!

Sen, the man in charge of the team guarding the interior wall, paled at the realization. “Oil! They’re using oil!!!”

They knew that system buildings were much sturdier than the Terran wood houses, but the fact that these people still managed to burn them meant they were using some very good oil and strong fire.

He looked around like his guards, but there were no traces of the arsonists at all!

“Where are they?!”

…

In another part, Ken and Benny—some of Victor’s men—poured some oil around the houses.

The houses in Fargo were relatively dense, even in the interior walls. There were plenty of alleys, cartons, and the like to hide in. The civilians here were also so scared of joining the war that they just hid in their homes, missing the chance to ‘contribute’ to their Lord Fargo.

nyway, as people who could afford to live in the inner walls, they had some sort of entitlement. Those people outside could handle it! They would muse, and proceed on hiding and minding their own business, just hoping for the best.

Of course, this was just a generalization and there were a few outliers.

For instance, on the second floor of the target’s neighor, there was a young woman blankly looking at them. It made a couple of them flinch when they noticed, and they were expecting a scream to explode.

Benny looked up to see a young woman with big eyebags staring down at them. Seeing as she was just watching, he felt a little hopeful. “Shh..” he said, and the woman simply sat back inside as if she didn’t see anything.

It had to be said: If Fargo decided to summon every citizen outside, it might not have necessarily helped them out. At least in the interior walls, at this time, they could not only use the ensuing crowd and chaos to hide—they were all special forces soldiers with spy training—but the soldiers could even take it to advantage.

What happened in the outer walls could be different, but they had their own mission and they trusted the Alterans already had plans in place.

“How do they even have so much oil?” Benny asked, amazed, before proceeding on dousing a couple of things. “And it feels much stronger than we’re used to…”

“Don’t underestimate Terran ingenuity,” Ken shrugged, quite enjoying burning the place down. Of course, it wasn’t as easy as it would’ve been in Terran—system buildings seem to be extra sturdy—but the non-custom buildings (which was only available for the top communities) were made of wood, and therefore weren’t immune to a lot of attacks.

They wanted to burn whatever they could down.

After so long, they naturally had an idea of how many women suffered in these houses. But they had to keep a low profile.

It wasn’t even like before when they were against stronger aborigines, so they had no choice but to endure.

Fortunately, not anymore!

The team moved in small groups, using their stealth skills as soldiers to get past the hundred or so guards congregating in the area.

They weren’t invisible though, so it was inevitable some of their movements would be found. For instance, at a narrow street, a small group of guards finally saw them.

“Y—”

Whoosh!

He fell down, paralyzed.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

One by one, the guards—some of whom were aborigines—fell down and Benny couldn’t help but gape at his weapon in his hand.

“Amazing!”

This was a tranquilizer gun that could take down a level 6 monster! Of course, it would be effective to humans which much smaller body weight and metabolism—even if they had much higher levels!

“They fell at different times. I wonder how fast it would usually be…” Benny mumbled, envious.

He didn’t have to wait too long for his answer, because new groups of guards had arrived to test the tranq gun on!

…

On another side of the interior walls, Drake saw that most of the guards had headed to where the smoke was, leaving this area a lot less guarded. “Let’s go.”

Drake signaled to his team, which also had the proper ‘chaos-making tools’ at hand.

They ended up in an exclusive-looking area with a level 2 gate and custom houses inside. They knew that this was the complex gifted to the mercenary team by Amon to keep them here.

“We’re here, in Rongo.”

“Has Juni moved everyone?” He asked and from their tiny corner Amos took out the large glittery parchment paper. To be honest this tool was really large. For people who were used to the convenience of phones, this was really hard to use. There wasn’t even a password function.

So the messages were always normal talk. However, they did have some internal code in case they would be intercepted somehow or, worse, the letters being stolen from one of them.

For example, Amos asked, /We miss you. Still there?/

There was no answer for about a minute. It was quite tense for everyone, and they couldn’t help but feel worry for Juni. It was only until the text finally started fading in the large parchment. /No. At the side, playing with the kids./

/Be careful of the fireworks on the right side of the gate. They’re quite dangerous. Fortunately, the houses are customized to handle strong attacks./

/Oh no, I think I left a window open. Can you close it for me?/

Amos checked the aether letter again, nodding. “It’s okay now,” he said, pointing at the eastern side of the property. “The weapons are over there.”

They didn’t underestimate the strength of a customized building—one that could handle the conditions of this world—and only targetted the so-called openings.

Big windows wasn’t a common design here so the target was incredibly small from where they were. Fortunately, Drake was a soldier with exemplary accuracy. This naturally meant that it was not a problem to throw a bomb through a window.

Clink, Clank, the special bomb made by Althea went over the head of the guards, entering that small opening Juni managed to make—which had almost cost her her life by the way.

Clank!

A few seconds later—

BANG!

The bomb exploded and the loud sound and the subsequent force ripped through the air. The men nearby—the guards—lost their footing and found themselves on the floor.

The force destroyed the windows, with the roof partially damaged. However, most of the building itself was mostly okay, which was something the Alterans ought to report for future reference.

The Fargo guards soon came to consciousness and coughed as they turned back, trying to make sense of what was happening. When they saw how the fenestrations were smoking and how the roof was on the verge of collapse, they immediately paled.

“Oi!” They yelled, approaching the building. The smoke hadn’t settled yet but they could see the rubbles and the remnants of their weapons.

“DAMN IT!”

They couldn’t even mourn when another ball reached them. They stared at the ball, not knowing what it was—

BANG!

Outside, Amos, Drake, and the others watched in satisfaction as the roofing finally collapsed, taking the guards’ lives in the process.

“So two bombs inside to get the roof and windows, though the structure itself seems okay,” Drake said, mentally taking note.

Anyway, the subsequent noises naturally caught attention of various guards—but how many could they be. After all, their forces were spread thin and were distracted by the various fires, let alone due to the fact that they were in the middle of a war!

Drake nodded at the others, immediately scurrying to hide somewhere with satisfied smiles on their faces.

The Bosses asked them to cause chaos, and chaos they shall create!
