After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Hostage Situation
Victor and the others paled. Most of the soldiers and Alterans rushed to block while Victor and Ken continued to block the warehouse, forcing their eyes not to leave Fargo’s figure for a second.

However, despite the soldiers outnumbering the aborigines, they were still weak from the previous fight and the level gap wasn’t small, so they were pushed away with some effort.

The aborigines cursed with the amount of force they had to unconsciously use though, afraid that they’d get punished.

From what they heard, the punishments for breaking the level cap rules were really harsh and permanent! Hence, the two lowered their forces even more, so Benny and the others didn’t get injured even if they were pushed around a lot.

Of course, even if there was little injury, getting pushed around so much was tiring and dizzying, and the aborigines took the chance to finally get a hold of the women.

Aka and Okra arrived at the alley a second later, eyes glinting in interest as they saw the group of women there!

They knew these women! They quite liked the taste of them! How could they let them get away so easily?

Seeing the two men there, many of the women shook in fear.

It did not help that these two men had abused most of them—many at the same time!

Memories of the abuse attacked their psyche and many of them fell screaming, even when nothing had been done to them yet.

“KYAAA!”

“No, please, no—”

“Please don’t—wuuu…”

In front of them, Juni pursed her lips, thinking of what to do. She was only one woman in the end.

Her eyes lifted to the man on the second floor—he was unsightly, both in appearance and in conduct—and she could tell how he fit well with Fargo’s group as a citizen.

He seemed to be amused by the show, even a little proud he ‘contributed’ to this war.

She couldn’t give him much thought for now, her eyes shifting back at the amused men in front of them.

Okra smirked and headed towards the women while Aka blocked the way.

The women stepped back in panic. Those who had some mind pulled the ones too traumatized to move. One of the few who could guide the women was Juliet, the psychologist. Many of these women had been her patients in this place, and her soothing voice did help in their movements.

However, the alleyway was narrow and they couldn’t move fast enough in the end! Their hearts dropped as Juni’s neck was grabbed on one hand, and the free hand gestured to grab another.

“WOOF!”

Suddenly though Okra and Aka had to duck, letting go of the women. They barely avoided a fast slash, and the next thing the women knew, a large figure appeared in front of them.

WOOF!

Juni looked at the golden creature blocking the way. Because of his size and the narrowness of the alley, he really appeared like a large wall creating a protective barrier between them and the abusers.

Her heart softened, her eyes brimming with tears at the sight of a familiar ‘brethren’. “Fufi!”

WOOF!

At the same time, Fargo’s eyes widened at the sight of the canine and immediately ducked by instinct. He felt the whoosh of an arrow barely missing him again.

“Come back here!” he yelled, and immediately Aka and Okra stepped back, appearing next to him after the humiliating block.

Fargo cursed and he turned in the direction of the arrow. That woman’s appearance made things even more complicated.

Althea walked forward, reaching the women’s area so Fufi would have easier time guarding the women. She also looked up to look at a higher floor. The women were hidden well, and there was no reason for Fargo to know where they were exactly unless someone pointed him in the right direction.

Unfortunately, there was no one there now, but it reminded her that there were still plenty of sympathizers around—especially in this ‘prime’ inner circle.

Those people would definitely have to be rounded off as well when Altera wins this war. Those bad apples had no place in her territories!

“Give it up Fargo,” she said. “Just give the token and I promise not to make you suffer (too much).”

Fargo did not grace her with an answer, his sharp eyes simply looking around, looking for a way to increase his chances.

At this point, every one of his forces was either down or being held back by Alterans. He was alone with two aborigines who, while strong, weren’t willing to make aggressive attacks lest they be penalized. The sympathizers had also gone back to hiding, knowing that helping him out at this time could put them in danger.

Ungrateful trash.

Fargo looked at the warehouse that was so close. However, seeing as the woman was here, it could be said that the damned useless slaves failed to keep them at bay.

There were still so many hours before the war could end and just hiding in the warehouse would be useless. The Alterans definitely still had time to destroy the warehouse while he hid in there like the coward that he was not.

Fargo’s mind ran, despite the headache, in an attempt to find a way to get himself out of this situation.

His eyes ended up on Rasso, whose arm was bloodied, but was valiantly holding his weapon out with the women behind him, protecting them with the stupid dog.

“I have your son, you know, shouldn’t you be helping me?”

Victor and the others looked at Rasso guardedly, but the man pursed his lips, glaring at Fargo. “We’ll save him when you’re dead!!”

Heh.

He looked at Okra who nodded and headed in a direction—which they would soon know was the direction of his house.

Althea watched as the signal flare light up and everyone’s heart dropped when Okra brought in a young boy with him.

At this, Rasso’s steadfast attitude immediately faltered.

“RIAN!!”

Fargo smiled at his face and then looked at Althea, who had gone a little pale.

“Other than the kid, you must know there are still thousands of slaves out there waiting to move. I don’t know how you dealt with them, but I can assure you my orders would inject incredible power in them—even if it meant destroying their bodies.

“What do you say? Are you open to making a deal with me?”
