After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 758

Eagle’s unknown situation caused deep anger within the Alterran guards and citizens, which ultimately led to the extreme torture of their prisoners, who were used to vent by the soldiers.

Anyway, these prisoners were definitely deserving of the pain. The suffering they caused was probably no less than Fargo and his men.

The Torture Chamber was located in the new Justice Hall, a manual construction building placed between the System Prison and the Barracks, directly placed at the end of a new wide street called Justice Street.

The Building was large and quite intimidating from the outside, its form naturally showing its prestige. There were towering columns that rose majestically from the ground, supporting the large roof above. After a short staircase, they would be led to an expansive entryway and lounge that goes to various ’halls’.

Although it was inspired by the imposing neoclassic architecture back in Terran, aesthetically, it was combined with distinctly Alterran elements like stone and wood.

The top two floors had several rooms serving as courtrooms, though they were there mostly to handle grey area cases that oaths might not necessarily handle fairly enough.

This was also where criminals who would ’graduate’ from their prisoner of war status—when they paid up all their atonement points—would be tried, to check whether they truly deserved their freedom.

There was also an underground pathway to transport high-profile prisoners to the other building. Similarly, there was also underground access from the Barracks. This was done not only for secrecy and security but also not to scare people too much at the possibly very poor state of the prisoners.

For instance, the Guians, many of whom were being tortured in the underground torture chamber.

"ARGGHHHH!!!!" Seto screamed as he was pricked by thousands of needles all over his body by some mechanism. He had been gravely injured during the war, and the needles didn’t choose whether to prick good skin or the broken ones.

It would then be lifted, and the mechanism would prick him with random needles at varying intervals, torturing him psychologically too.

In another torture chamber, his comrades were suffering no less.

"AHHHHHH!" Ero screeched as his body was heated up like in an oven. Sometimes it would be scorching hot, while other times it would be minor burns—which just added contrast to the pain.

From here they knew that Alterra was the land of innovation in Xeno—and these innovations… were not limited to infrastructure or daily things.

"YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!!!" Ero screamed at the top of his lungs, "YOU’LL PAY FOR THISSS! GAHHH!!!"

Gill raised his spear and heated it up, branding his fat cheek. "How? You’re trapped here, powerless. Your lord is dead. How?"

Ero gritted his teeth as he shivered from the pain, but his eyes were defiant. He probably knew about the master city but couldn’t say anything due to an oath.

Knowing him, if there wasn’t, he’d definitely drop the name just to ’make them fall into terror’.

But, while a good piece of info to have, it wasn’t what they were looking for.
