After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1086

Anyway, Medussa was then assigned to this department, experimenting to her heart’s content (within ethical standards, of course).

A new creature was definitely right up her alley.

"Fascinating…" she said, gesturing to poke at the corpse. Sienna quickly stopped her.

"Be careful," she said, realizing a lot of these people would be working on the corpse for a long time. It didn’t matter before because they would often bury them deep under the sand, but it was different if it was in such an enclosed space.

"Even being too near an undead could cause you to get sick," she said, saying of some cases they had before wherein everyone was so weak they didn’t have the time or energy to clean up the corpses. Suffice to say, things got worse.

"Place it in your space as much as you can," Sienna said, very concerned. What if people here got sick? Not to mention her guilt, but it could add strain to the territories’ relationship!

However, the scientist didn’t seem to mind much. "Oh?" Medussa blinked before grinning widely. "Even more fascinating…"

"..."

Anyway, they could only watch as the woman hovered around the corpse, completely unbothered by its smell. This was much more than what Helios was doing, considering he was already at the farthest corner of the room right now.

Althea arrived about half an hour later, with Medussa already making a preliminary report and requests for tests. The frizzy-haired woman left after greeting Althea, though she ignored everyone else.

No one took it personally, of course. Besides, the leading scientist being so excited was a good thing for them.

Anyway, Sahara and the others walked over to greet Althea respectfully, and she did the same.

"Welcome to Alterra," she said with a smile. "And thank you for this new specimen."

"No, we should be thanking you for being open to it," she said. "Can you tell me exactly what results you hope to achieve?"

The study of a new species was very broad. It’d help to focus on certain aspects if they wanted to see some effects as soon as possible.

At this, Sienna’s shoulders slumped, and so did Sahara’s. "My son… was bit by one during a battle. He fortunately cut his arm in time before the poison spread, but it made him sick.

"He had been ill since he was bitten," she said. "It’s been 10 years since then and there are no signs of improvement."

"He was always pale and vomiting—which was incredibly dangerous for a place like ours, where food and water was scarce—and his strength was reduced by a lot," she said. "He is a metal elementalist, but now he could barely produce a single spike a day."

"I worry so much because he always went out to fight enemies, regardless of his state," she said. "I worry that someday he’d get killed."

Althea looked at them. "So you hope for us to find a cure." _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

They nodded. "If possible."

"We will do our best," she said, not promising anything, though she’d definitely get her people to do what they could. "If it’s possible, can you send him here in the next caravan?"

Sienna blinked. "Well… I’ll try to convince him," she said. That man had not stepped outside Dune Town since that incident. He was afraid that the moment he stepped out, the enemies would come spiraling down on them.

Even if he wasn’t as strong as he used to be, he was still a force—let alone the fact he was the person usually in the commanding position.
