After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 878

He stayed for a bit longer in the end. However, he did yell for the others to help and fight, otherwise the territory would fall.

Soon, more and more people were pulled down by the monsters. They would either try to climb and grab someone, or bump onto the wall repeatedly until someone loses balance.

BOOM!

A section of the wall shook and Shinho wanted to cry as another companion fell down, mobbed by beasts and divided among monsters.

People in the battlement tried to stab the monsters outside, some were pulled down easily without much of a fight.

More and more fell, and the walls—that had long been weakened—were finally starting to give way.

BANG! BANG!

CRASHH!

They stabbed and stabbed until it was too difficult to find balance. Everyone jumped down to the interior of the walls, lest they joined the feast as food instead.

They could hear their walls crumbling and a part fell down, taking several people on the battlement with them.

Their hearts fell along with it, and their bodies cold as the first monster finally breached through, followed by dozens more.

Was it finally their time?

The remaining slaves—most had died from starvation the past couple of days— were summoned as meat shields to buy time for the others. It was a gruesome sight but most people just focused on their own lives.

The slaves though had no energy and just stood there. The monsters took a couple of seconds to munch and eat the humans, and soon many monsters started looking for other targets.

More and more beasts came and they hunted the citizens, even if they were inside their homes. Desperate screams echoed in the territory.

Some tried to run, and some to fight, but what could weakened people do against such mobs? How far could they run before getting pummeled?

Bang! Bang!

BANG!

More and more sections of the wall fell, and it was getting too close to where his family was settled.

"The… the territory can’t handle this!" Shinho yelled, going to the lord who found him for protection. "Find a way to repair the walls, milord!"

"We don’t have resources anymore!" He yelled, gasping when monsters headed in their direction. "AHHH! KILL IT! KILL IT!"

Shinho shook his head and bolted in another direction. At this point, he could only focus on family. The Lord, at least, could pull many others to protect him. His family had no such advantage.

He had already done his best for this place.

"NO! YOU! Continue guarding me!! SHINHOOO!" The lord yelled, but was ignored in the end.

Shinho heard his yell grow distant, and also how he yelled for the others to protect them. There were not many slaves left after this, but he got them to cover them for a bit, hopefully enough so they could find a safe house.

More and more beasts got inside and it became clear that they couldn’t protect the territory anymore. Shinho made the decision to evacuate everyone they could instead, all while he ran towards his family.
