After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 664

"Gwen?!" Ryan exclaimed, feet moving forward to go closer, to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating.

The woman’s eyes also sparkled at the sight of him. "Ryan," she said, though she couldn’t move up, because her cats were resting contentedly on her lap.

Someone behind Ryan cleared his throat and only then did the woman’s eyes separate from him. She blinked. "Brother Orz?"

As for the others, she didn’t recognize them, so she only nodded politely.

Ryan’s feet stopped a step away from Gwen and he couldn’t speak for a while.

Gwen was someone they met during a mission in a foreign land. They met about a year ago, not too long before they were deployed in the mission that brought them here.

She was a tourist and they were undercover customers in the hotel. It was just that she had recognized them as soldiers—something about her brother being one—and saw that they were hunting a bad guy.

She ended up helping them fit in and helped with the success of that mission.

"No one would believe two handsome men would be in a hotel together if they weren’t lovers," she had said, "Sadly, you two simply don’t have the chemistry."

Ryan was a little flustered with how the gorgeous woman sat so close to him and Orz noticed this very much.

In the end, they decided to make Ryan and Gwen pretend to be a couple. (Orz had a girlfriend at this time and there was obviously chemistry between the two, anyway).

They naturally didn’t disclose any information except that they needed to fit in, and the girl didn’t ask. She helped them out and the mission finished without another hitch.

Ryan was a shy dude and didn’t dare ask for her number. Orz low-key asked her and blatantly showed it off to Ryan. The latter then confiscated it, claiming he shouldn’t stray from his girlfriend.

Orz didn’t know how these two progressed but seeing how they were looking at each other, it was safe to say there was some communication after that mission.

Orz smirked as he looked at the two.

Where was the popcorn when you needed one?

…

The moment was quickly broken by a sudden announcement that rang in everyone’s head. It was an announcement from the lord.

[Gocki Village (Lv2) has declared war on us! Prepare for war!!! ]

They all flinched and the soldiers looked at each other. Ryan pursed his lips and gestured to go with them.

Orz was quick to hold his shoulders though.

"You stay here and get the info we went here for. We’ll handle the planning," Orz said, making a wave to Gwen. The others also sent their greetings and goodbyes, before leaving the two alone.

"..."

Calming village might be poor, but it had interesting artisans who could make some furniture for the sake of their lifestyles. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
