After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 122

Aberdeen City, 3 years ago

"What are you laughing at?" A velvety deep voice sounded beside her, gently asking.

Althea turned her head to see the handsome face of her fiance, his deep blue eyes looking at her as if she was the only existence in his world.

Her heart thumped and she grinned, showing him her ultra thin tablet. "Look!"

She showed a photo of two famous celebrities. "The actor here is called Fable, and the other party of his scandal is called Juni."

"Their couple name is FaNi." She giggled, and then shrugged. "I just thought it was funny."

Garan smiled dozingly, patting the tip of her delicate nose with his callused finger. "It is very funny. My Althea is the funniest."

She stared at his handsome features for a while, to the point that the serious man’s ears turned red.

Garan cleared his throat. "What is it?"

"Our couple name, I’m wondering what it is."

He chuckled, "What do you think?*

"Well, what about… Garalthea? Ganea? Garantha? Altharan? Algara? Garalth?

Galthea? Gaea?"

She paused, thought for a while before silently deciding on which one sounded best.

A second later, she nodded in agreement with herself and turned around to hug the man’s strong waist. "Gaea’ sounds very cool and auspicious."

Garan chuckled, hands sliding naturally around her. "Whatever my wife says is right." He said, leaning in to give her a peck on the lips.

It was just that such a simple peck would no longer be enough and he gestured to deepen the kiss, hugging her tighter—

"AH! My eyes!"

They turned their head to the jerk that had been lying down on the chaise lounge. "Please… please stop kissing out of nowhere!"

Did they forget he was right here?! JERKS!!

"No one’s asking you to watch~" Althea retorted, sticking out her tongue.

Ansel looked absolutely offended and he stood up and stomped to the door. "I’m leaving! Damnit! Not having the decency to get themselves room—

"Also ’Gaea’ is a very stupid name." He said and closed the door with a bang.

"Don’t listen to him." Garan said with a smile, though internally he had already wondered when to ’train’ that brat. "It is a wonderful name."

Althea grinned in agreement, burying her head on his wide shoulder.

As always, her Garan had good vision.

[20 days of Protection Period]

That day the commercial street was particularly lively. Nearly all of the population had gathered in one spot, the look of excitement visible on their faces.

Why?

Because the second store in the street (after the furniture store) was finally opened!

Better? It was a precious Grocery Store!

They had long eaten up their supplies from Terran, and had to make do with the harvests of nature.

While there were creative brethren who could make decent meals with the current conditions, it would still get tiring after so long.

If every food available in the makeshift market was either fruit you could just get yourself or barbeque with a single type of sauce, people would naturally feel sick of it after so many days.

They had grown up in a world with an explosion of flavors available for choosing, a plethora of tastes that colored their lives obtained at a point of a finger.

Less than two weeks prior, they had dozens of barbeque flavors to choose from!

After their basic needs had been met, it was inevitable to long for what had been. Who could blame them from being choosy?

Anyway, back to the future grocery store, when would it open? They were very hungry!

They had heard that rice, flour, and other things would be sold here. It seemed they would finally be able to satisfy their taste buds!

They looked at the tall tower in the park in front of the village center.

It was a giant sundial-like sculpture, designed by the new NPC architect in conjunction with a few Terrans, and it served as the clock.

There were a lot of calculations that went on in there, but that was beyond their understanding so all they knew was that it was cool.

They saw that there were only a few minutes left before opening.

The crowd was big and occupied the carriageway, extending all the way to the sidewalk on the other side of the road.

They clapped at her arrival and she smiled at them beautifully, fascinating a lot of men. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
