After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 907

More and more territories fell for the next few weeks, whether it was due to wars, beast tides, or just their lords dying of heatstroke or hunger or something equally pitiful.

The fortunate thing was that the temperature was finally seeing a decline, only very very slightly.

However, to most people, this didn’t make a difference.

They were still dying.

"Milord…" A thin man with pale skin looked at the handsome man, pleading. "Perhaps… it’s time to get assistance?"

The Heat Wave lasted a lot longer than they thought, and many of those who would normally survive had perished already.

Shiro sighed, holding his knuckles together in thought. When his father died during the last war, he did everything he could to pass on the token to him.

Shiro wasn’t about to disappoint him, nor could he fail those who trusted him. Until now, they had fared much better than others in their tier, and this had been a point of pride for a long time.

Before they had to leave, their village was among the strongest of their rank in their area.

One reason was that they had an abundance of edible plants such as the flute plant and the like.

They were also located between hills with some natural tunnels that they took advantage of whenever there were extreme weather changes. Whether it was the Extreme Cold or Extreme Heat, their territory had one of the best survival rates.

It was just that they had a town nearby so their mobs weren’t as weak as those around other villages. This was both good and bad.

Good because they could keep a lot of their matured forces because they could still upgrade even if they stayed in a village, rather than risk moving to the next Town and settlling there.

This was why their average level was 10 or 11, in contrast to 8 or 9 of other level 3 villages. At the same time, this was also bad because they still weren’t towns in the end. They had their limitations, especially with their infrastructure.

However, they managed to hold on for a while. But despite his best efforts to keep the territory afloat on his own, the territory still fell to mobs.

The mobs that day were too big and too desperate. They couldn’t hold on and they had to escape to keep their lives.

They had considered just relocating for a bit and then returning when the mob had passed. However, for some reason, the monsters settled down there and stayed.

They had considered relocating to the nearest Town—Voumi Town—but the fees there were too expensive, everything was too saturated, and there was no place to settle down hundreds or thousands of people that were considered ’weak’ in their standards. Some people opted to stay there, of course, and he did not blame them.

And so, he could only do his best to find his people a new home. Maybe someday they could use the old territory again, but they couldn’t see it happening any time soon.

In retrospect, the beasts might have followed their instincts and decided to nest in their village, as well as their tunnels.

Although they were mindless, they still had survival instincts. They must’ve felt the Extreme Heat was happening soon. These beasts had to be
