After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1211

Stab!!

"RAFFYY!!!"

"HEYY!!"

"STOP IT!"

The nearby patients and nurses ran to them to pull them back, but they were stronger than they looked and the suddenness of everything caught everyone off-guard.

Fortunately, the guards appeared a second later and took the three of them down. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done.

"Is he alright?!" the patients yelled as they saw Raffy bleeding from multiple stab wounds. The nurses hurriedly went to perform some first aid, and then they glared at Vanessa who was just gaping in shock.

"Miss Vanessa!!"

"A-AH yes—" she mumbled, shakingly kneeling down next to him.

She was shivering in a mix of shock, fear, and shame, and it caused her ability to be inefficient. Her remaining mana drained and all she managed to do was slow down the bleeding.

"What's going on?" A booming voice asked and the people made way.

It was Henry.

He had a few wounds on his body and went to the hospital to get some extra bandages to handle his own wounds, as well as some of his teammates' with minor wounds. He was not expecting to come to a crime scene, instead.

"The 28-hour war isn't over yet, so they took advantage of that. They were apparently Inko slaves who pretended to be locals," the guard said, a solemn expression on his face.

"It was the last order to them before the 'masters' were taken care of, so they followed it to death." They looked at the Terrans who were taken down.

They only figured it out when the men refused to behave after being caught, and only then did they realize they were actually slaves. There were sadly no indicators of it, even in the Lord Panel. They were simply numbers in the population list like everybody else.

This was why, although there was no need to use lethal force, when they saw their expression, they chose to kill them.

Slaves' expressions were not controlled so if they were forced to do this, their expressions could've given their plans away. They would only be unable to control their bodies, but they could express warning in some other way if they wanted to.

But they didn't, and their expression when caught were not of remorse, but of regret that they did not finish the job.

Inko must've promised them a lot of things, things they did not care to know, so they just got rid of the pests so they didn't waste any more air.

Henry looked at his daughter, and then at the bleeding man on the ground, sighing. This was his oversight. Although there were so many things they had planned out, some things were still missed it seemed. He had no excuses.

"We may have to send him to Alterra…" he said, looking at his pale daughter. "But you have to heal him a bit more to ensure his survival during travel."

"My mana is gone," Vanessa said, holding back tears. "I n-need to get some more from my room."

She ran to her office, not waiting for others to offer to get it for her.

As soon as the door closed, her knees gave way. Shaking, she lifted her arms and looked at the literal blood on her hands. Finally, she burst to tears.
