After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 768

Chapter 768: Babies in Trouble (Part 2)
Heso cursed, but he immediately sprung into action. With all his strength, he kicked all three disoriented guards, and they all fell—but still within the scope of the sound blocker.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

He saw them cough out blood and two even lost consciousness, and knew that the tools that had been protecting them for so long had finally given way.

Anyway, he immediately appeared next to the old woman, eyes dripping with maliciousness.

“Not so fast, old hag,” he said, grabbing her hair and pulling it back. The woman screamed, but rather than due to the pain—the token only activated when serious damage was to be done—she screamed because she saw the man’s hands were heading to the crying babies.

“NO! STOP IT!” she yelled, hugging the children closer to her, which made them cry louder and the man to tug even harder.

“STOP IT! UGLY MAN!” Maya yelled while the boys tried to grab his pants, punching him with their small hands.

Heso knew he didn’t have the time to play and he slapped the little children, making them fly in different directions of the villa. The only reason they were alive was definitely due to the tokens, all of which had received significant damage due to the massive strength differences.

Heso grabbed the buns with his large hand, without any attempt to be gentle at all.

The babies cried loudly—to the top of their little lungs—and anyone with a heart would be heartbroken. Unfortunately, the only conscious men there didn’t have such a thing.

“Mwamawmmmaaaaa!”

“Googmmmwwwaaaa!”

Before Heso and the Guians could have a sense of satisfaction though, his instincts flared and he threw the two babies to his companions. “There’s another exit at the back! Run there! NOW!”

The two sprinted in a direction, and just in time, the guards had arrived due to the smoke.

Garan arrived to see the house in chaos. It was stil standing, but the lovely gardens had been desecrated and the people in his team were all unconscious, unknown whether they were alive.

The other soldiers, guards, and citizens who arrived went to them first, not caring whether the enemies were nearby, while Garan’s eyes were sharp, and immediately searching the vicinity for his twins.

At this time, he was using all his willpower to keep a working mind, to stop panic from overtaking him. He didn’t see his children at all, and the entire area turned cold, encasing the three remaining Guians in ice.

“WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN?!”

…

The other side of the gate naturally had guards and citizens coming in due to the smoke, and the two fought their way through them, kicking and slashing without holding back.

The men holding Pepper and Meatball were separated by the chaos, running in different directions without care anymore. With this baby, the lord would reward them a lot, each mused. They could even sell them back for an exuberant amount! They were determined to bleed these elders!

These were the wishful thoughts that occupied their minds, not caring for the angry sobbing uncomfortable babies in their arms.

Meatball crawled on his head, annoying him. “Googhrmmmha!!” the baby cried, patting him.

“SHUT UP!” he yelled, kicking a few more low-level citizens who came to block his way.

“Guugmmwa!” The baby babbled angrily, slapping his face with his little hand, covering his face.

“You brat—”

Annoyed, he was about to grab the back of his onesie and maybe hit him on the wall to make him lose consciousness when, unexpectedly, the baby crawled on his head.

He cursed, but was unable to utter anything when he suddenly it felt like a huge boulder fell on him.

BANG!!

“OOF!” he screamed as the back of his head hit the floor below him, his body bending at an awkward angle, the cracking of his spine heard through the entire street.

The pitiful image of the bent man was what the guards and citizens who came running after him saw, unsure of what happened.

“Alphonse!” Garan yelled, appearing next to them and taking him into his arms. He was shaking, but he had no time to let the emotions run wild at this time, rushing in another direction.

His daughter was still missing!

…

On another street was Baby Pepper, who was seen by many and tried to rescue. However the man was sly and used the baby as a shield (there was even an arrow that hit her, but was fortunately protected by the charm).

Since then, no one dared to throw attacks anymore and they just did their best to follow. They did their best to be ready to rescue as soon as an opening appeared, with the others reporting their location to the nearest guards.

But this man was level 13 and he sprinted around incredibly quickly, and he soon escaped the sights of the citizens.

Unexpectedly, the baby disappeared from his hand.

“Where did— what are you— hey come back here!” Little Pepper stared and began to crawl to the opposite direction. He immediately went to her and held her up by the feet, only to realize she was holding something in her hand.

“What are you holding…” he asked, eyebrows furrowed, and she placed the pellet in his mouth and laughed.

Ansel —who had also sprinted and followed instructions of the witnesses—happened to have seen this scene. He was luckily nearby where the commotion was happening.

When he recognized what she was holding, he gasped and lunged over. “OH SHI— PEPPER!”

BOOM!

[Learned! Fire Absorb (D): Absorb 80 Dragonbreath of fire and explosive forces. CD: 10 minutes. – 20 Mana]

Holding Pepper tightly in his arms, the bomb exploded inside the man’s body, his innards spraying all over the place.

Ansel’s final protection charm had also broken to pieces, but it broke when the explosion hadn’t entirely settled yet, so his back was burned.

He fell on the floor, keeping his arms on the side so he didn’t squish the baby girl.

Looking at her uncle rather than the strange ugly man made Pepper laugh, showing off those growing little teeth of hers.

Seeing her fine, Ansel’s shoulder slumped in relief, but internally he was holding on consciousness.

“Ansel!? Are you alright?!” A yell came above him. Ah, it was Winona, he mused with a smile.

Seeing her here, his body relaxed and his body fell to the side, his vision slowly turning black.

[Congratulations. Your Village, Alterra Village (Lv3) won against Guia Village (Lv3)!]

That the last thing he heard before he lost consciousness.
