After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 953

In another house rented by a certain aborigine group, the identical twins Ferra and Fona were sobbing their hearts out.

"Wuuuu—sister! I never thought I’d see you again! Wuu…"

"I’m so happy… wuuu…"

Their village was a village South called Tsho Village. It was located near a stream and by the mountainside. This should’ve been a good place, but a lot of beasts passed by their location, making it difficult for them to leave the territory.

This was why, despite the apparent abundance of the resources outside, food was a bit harder to acquire than others. Eventually, a group of people who ate fellow humans appeared, but they were small in number.

The sad part was that these people were strong and they were the territory’s main forces against the beasts so they couldn’t kick them out.

Because of this, the people had to live in fear in their own homes—afraid that the human eaters would decide to eat one from within the walls again. They would be lucky if they won a war because there’d be a lot of slaves and they’d be safe for months (since those people didn’t eat humans every day).

However, when the heat wave happened, these people convinced people to become like them. Ferra and Fona didn’t have any other families and had survived intact for so long because they could defend themselves somehow. They were also outcasted because of this but they had each other, so it was okay.

One day though, they started dealing with another territory that had access to the springs that hadn’t dried out yet. One of them, Ferra, became a sacrifice to get water and a few pinches of salt bought from there.

Fona was left behind and escaped when Fossu and the others passed by, rescuing her along the way.

While the women caught up and cried, the rest of them gave them some space and just befriended each other. They were fellowmen from the South after all. There weren’t a lot of people like them here.

On the other hand, the children Shishi and Fonfon were now playing a puzzle game in the corner, unaware of the drama going on in the adults’ side. They were going to have to bed soon, but they were definitely maximizing their time awake.

"Well, it’s good that our groups found each other," Shinho said with a smile, combing back his orange hair. "Especially those two," he said, looking at the sobbing women. His heart felt happy and hopeful that such a happy coincidence could even happen.

No, it was fate.

"They’re special women," Fossu said with a chuckle, and his parents agreed with a smile. "Drink?" _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

"Sure," Shinho said, and several other men went to follow them for a bit of fun.

They were not rich, but the money they risked their lives for could buy a lot of things here. After so long, they deserved a lot of leisure time to make up for all the pain they went through during the first half of their lives.

It felt like the wounds piled up one after the other, and it was only when they landed here that they truly had the chance to heal.

In any case, the two women would definitely take a while to catch up, so the different groups separated to do their own thing. This was especially true for the men and the younger folks, who were excited to get out of the house at this late hour.

They couldn’t help but be obsessed with Alterra’s nightlife. Before, because it was dark in most territories, people were already in bed as soon as the sun slept. There would just be guards and groups of people guarding the walls in case of monster mobs, but otherwise, the territory would be dead.

If they get attacked, many would be summoned to help out, with their torches enflamed for visibility, but otherwise, they’d just be staring at the darkness and waiting for the slumber to hit.

In Alterra, there was no such thing. It even seemed even more alive during the night.

While the men left and the children were tucked to bed by the old people, the two sisters continued to chatter about endless things, giving detailed accounts of their own experiences apart from each other.

Even when they found a good place, how could they truly—truly—be at peace when the state of their sibling was unknown?

That changed today, and how blessed they felt!
