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

Fuck you Fargo, Kill the Mobs yourself Fargo, Go Kill Yourself Fargo…

These were the prevalent thoughts in the heads of the citizens as they hid well inside their homes, hoping for things to pass—if it would.

It could be seen as just prolonging the agony as monsters would still be able to breach the houses after some time, but they just hoped the monsters would skip their houses by virtue of them being quiet.

They would fight it if it reached their location, but the problem with that was that the blood—whether it was theirs or the monster’s—could attract even more beasts. Most of them could barely handle one, let alone a handful!

However—despite the apparent carefulness of most—a few people couldn’t help but take a look through the windows and peek outside, opening just enough to see what was going on.

”Oi, Baka, come here!” Tacky whispered urgently, trying to pull his friend’s remaining arm. ”Do you wanna lose an eye, too?”

”Wait, look out,” the young man said as he stared at the monsters flowing in, seeming to particularly interested in watching more.

”Hell no,” Tacky mumbled. He was about to go deeper into the house when the chaos neared and they could hear screeching screams akin to animals being slaughtered.

”GAHHH! HELP MEEE!!”

”AHHH! GO AWWAY! GO AWAY—GAHHH!”

The yells would occasionally be followed by the familiar squelching of body parts and the cracking of bones.

”COME OUT OF HERE!”

”HELP USSS!”

Tacky paused, finding some of the voices familiar. Against basic logic, he opened the gap just a bit more so he could peek, and Juan followed.

The other roommates gasped when they saw the three idiots risk their heads for curiosity. They shivered and hid farther into the rooms, deciding to ignore them.

These young men were stronger than they were and they knew they couldn’t be pulled back if they didn’t want to, so they could only find better places to hide.

They wished they had chests or cabinets here, but alas, most didn’t even have proper beds, what of other furniture?

However, there were also a few who stayed with them. They were the ones from the shanty their group let inside. They stayed with the trio to pull them as soon as they had to.

Anyway, the trio was focused on peeking to notice they had people ready to drag them back as needed.

They just watched the chaos outside as more and more monsters came in. Normally, they would spread out and attack houses, focusing on the easy-to-destroy shanty areas and low-level houses. However, this time, they seemed to just be going after a few people.

The night was eerie and they could hear various screams around and a few muted screams farther away, but otherwise everyone knew to keep quiet, and luckily so because the monsters seemed hellbent on these particular men.

It so happened that one monster chase seemed to head towards their street. Tacky’s heart dropped, about to close the window. ”Shit! Close it!”

”Wait!” Juan mumbled, patting his arm. His eyes were fixed towards the man the monster seemed to be hunting. ”Don’t you find that man familiar?”

The other two looked at each other, before taking a peek. They gaped when they realized that it was one of the people who beat them up back then!

”HELP MEEE! GAHH!” He yelled, getting nicked at the back, the heard the ripping sound of fabric and skin, but the man’s adrenaline was on max and he still managed to continue running despite part of his back getting ripped off.

He was in intense pain though, his eyes turning red as he saw the silent houses.

”GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSES RIGHT NOW!” He yelled, roughly tapping random doors he passed through in hopes it broke and attracted the monster instead. But it was no use, and the monster soon caught up to him, with one of its teeth embedded on his leg.

”GYAAAA!!”

The trio’s hearts paused as they watched the man get swung with his legs as pivot, hitting a random wall. He was swung around like this because he got stuck on the teeth, and the monster was trying to take him off to eat him properly.

BANG!

WHOOSH!

BANG!

The trio covered their mouths to keep themselves from screaming at the horrendous sight.

Eventually, the monster managed to bend his body enough and scratched, eating half of him. Some of his innards fell, staining the floor, but otherwise the monster didn’t miss any part of the meat.

However, the momentum of the monster shaking the corpse made the top half fly…

…into their direction.

Their hearts stopped as they saw the half-body fly towards them.

Oh, shiiiiiii—

The trio immediately closed the window as they heard the bang of the disgusting half-corpse hit it. They crawled—or rather, were dragged—as far away as they could, looking like idiots, but at this time they didn’t really care.

They stopped breathing when they heard some clutter outside and knew the monster went to retrieve the body, eating the rest of it up.

The three shivered, trying very hard not to piss. They only let go of their held breaths when the peace returned, apparently, the monster leaving in a direction.

They heard more and more monsters enter the territory, and could tell that several areas were in the same situation. Soon, the mobs around their area stopped. However, Juan, who had sensitive ears, determined that they were all heading in a direction.

He slowly opened the swing windows and saw that the monsters were either just following certain men or heading straight to the inner walls, ignoring whatever was in their paths.

”They’re all heading towards the inner walls!” Juan said and the others soon peeked with him.

”Do you know why?”

”No idea.”

But it was a relief. They even felt a bit vindictive.

After all, most of their enemies were in the inner walls.

Whenever there were monsters, they would be left to defend themselves. It was like those from the inner walls had them as the shield. They would barely help when there was a breach at all.

Now, the monsters were going straight at them!

”Heh,” Tacky said, grinning.”Go deal with that problem yourself!”
