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

In Vismont, the Terran Mercenary team members were also receiving quite the excitement from the locals of Vismont.

After all, they had seen very few Elementalists—only Rowan—let alone fellow Terrans!

How inspiring that was!

It all started when a group of monsters started attacking the walls again. Naturally, Vismont had learned from the past and hired all NPCs they could, regardless of their occupation.

After all, even the most useless occupation would have levels higher than theirs.

This was how they managed to defend the territory somehow, albeit not as effectively if they hired fighters.

Anyway, they were struggling and were running out of wood and stone to repair the walls when a group of about 30 people came and killed the monsters.

It was incredibly valiant. It was led by two unfamiliar men—one with auburn hair and gentle eyes and a chubby black-haired man with slit for eyes.

However, they could tell that they were Terrans—incredibly strong ones, too!

This was Chris and Mao of the Terran Mercenary Team, already out and about after coming from Ferrol.

Although Team B had indeed gotten there to get information, there wasn’t much drama at the time and none of them saw their skills. Not to mention, they were very low-key because they were in a rush—they just wanted to find their relatives and friends.

Now, Vismont was being attacked by mobs and their citizens now had the fortune of watching fellow Terrans use their skills. It was the first time the people of Vismont saw Elementalist Terrans!

They watched as Chris waved his sword and a slash of wind was created, cutting a level 8 monster in half!

Too amazing!

Anyway, their assistance naturally increased the momentum of Vismont’s fighters. One of them happened to be an aborigine, a newly hired carpenter named Koli. He was a level 12 and was asked by the lord to fight for some extra gold. He happened to really need money.

He was one of the strongest there too so he could really feel the pressure. Now, with more fighters around, he could fight with less worry.

Unfortunately, he became complacent too quickly, because soon he found himself surrounded.

”AHH!” he yelled, trying to go back but there was already a monster there. He was fortunate that he was still near a sentry so one was killed before it ate him up, but there were soon many more surrounding him.

”Oh my gosh! Help him!” Someone from the battlement yelled, trying to fire an arrow but it simply didn’t reach far enough.

Koli swore his life passed by his head—his lackluster life of going village to village, single, with no children—and the many regrets that came after.

However, Chris came and created a wind blade before running to the monster and stabbing it in the eye.

”WOW! AMAZING!”

Unexpectedly, the excitement made the archer lose his damned footing and he fell down the battlement.

GYAAAAA!!

He heard screams from the other archers near him yelling, ”HELP HIM!” Though the wall wasn’t even that tall, he naturally fell down early.

Bam!

He felt himself hit a surface but not as hard as he expected. He then realized he was sliding down—head first—to the safety of the ground.

He lifted his head and saw an earth slide that seemed to have caught him.

”Focus!”

Mao yelled, adding another wall to give him enough time to catch himself. He squeaked immediately running to the gates which was fortunately not too far away.

This was all seen by the people in the 3-meter tall battlement.

”Amazing!!”

”This is too awesome!”

The non-elementalist guards from Altera were also impressive. Even the relatively new ones like the dark-skinned Joe and the yellowish Lee—Clutch’s neighbors—were impressive. At this time, they were fighting monsters of the same level without gaining substantial damage.

It was hard to believe that only a couple of months ago, Joe was an accountant and Lee was a sculptor.

Of course, their former fields weren’t wasted. Or rather, the management didn’t let it.

Joe was one of the people in charge of the military’s accounting matters, while Lee was noted to have a part-time job of sculpting once material was available.

Most of the civilians who came for the leveling program were also mostly on the brave side. Led by the crow trio, the adults didn’t have the face to act too spoiled.

”It’s the Alterans! I know them! Hey! That one immigrated when we visited Altera!”

”Everyone is so strong now…”

”Did you see that? Isn’t that Dog? He’s handling a Level 5 monster by himself!!”

”What!”

”I was obviously stronger than him before!”

”I told you we should’ve moved to Altera!”

”But we already bought a house!”

Anyway, there was a mix of regret and admiration in the commentary. One thing was a constant thought:

Altera is really amazing!

…

After the mobs were settled, the Alterans who went to Vismont naturally didn’t miss the chance to earn easy money.

They set up stalls in practiced efficiency, and their items were sold out quickly after. They even got more than they asked, because the citizens were so thankful for their rescue.

As they packed up, Crow couldn’t help but notice a middle-aged woman walking around in a daze. She had dirty clothes and uncombed hair. But she was holding bread in her hands and nibbling on it as she walked absentmindedly, seemingly dazed the whole time.

Crow looked at the woman, thinking she looked quite familiar.

”Oi, what are you staring at? You look creepy,” Dog said which earned him a pinch in the stomach.

”OUCH! You—”

But Dog ate his words when he saw Crow’s face was still serious and he pointed at the woman he was staring at in particular.

”Don’t you think she’s familiar?” he asked, and it just confused Dog, who really didn’t know the woman. And… looking at her closely, the woman didn’t seem to be in the right mind?

”It seems like she’s a bit… you know…” Dog mumbled, subtly pointing at his head. Crow rolled his eyes and Sunny kicked him for being insensitive.

Anyway, the conversation also caught Sunny’s attention who also came to take a look.

”You’re right. I just think I’ve seen her somewhere.”

Crow immediately grabbed an acquaintance’s arm, pointing at the woman. ”Do you know her?”

”Her name is Jane Yu, I think. She’s got to family here—you alright?”

Jane Yu…

It took a second for it to dawn on the three young adults and they stared at each other with wide eyes.

George and Koo’s mother!
