After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 979

Anyway, Juno guided them all the way to Alterra, along with a caravan (because why not), and the party arrived about an hour after sunlight.

They were now standing just outside the impressive walls and imposing sentries.

Bright’s merchants were not surprised as they had often been here, but the newcomers were certainly shocked.

"A village. This is really a village that was built the same time as everyone else?" Mart asked, surprised, and especially so when they entered the village.

Mart was a soldier who arrived with the other Terrans. Speaking of him, he had also reached level 10 and awakened the earth element after traveling for so long. With Orz’s guidance over the past few days, he was now a bona fide earth bender.

"To be honest, even Towns we’ve been to may not be as good…" Ryan said, staring at the lively wide streets filled with activity and smiling people everywhere.

The entry fee was also very good! Although it had been increased (according to Juno), it was still low if one considered this was basically a Town already.

Orz, who was chewing a meat jerky he bought from Bright, whistled, very impressed. "True, the weaker towns look poor next to this," he said, remembering a few examples.

The first months they were in this world, they had gone through a couple of territories before settling in Twinwave Town, so they knew what they were talking about.

This… was really impressive. How long has it been? It hasn’t even been 6 months since they arrived, right?

Sean looked around with bright eyes, and then he turned to his sister and the in-laws. Salia met his eyes and they let out identical smiles.

Her husband, Philip, was holding her shoulder with a similar smile, while his mother—as always—was already thinking of where in this good place would they be settling.

To be honest, Sean didn’t like that woman. She had grown up and lived in a rural area with very strict views on women. She always ordered his sister around, acting like an undefiable matriarch.

According to the people in Calma Village, she would always order Salia to gather resources to sell while she herself barely carried her own weight.

On the other hand, Philip was a mama’s boy who would request her to soften up but never quite put his foot down. He’d only try to lessen his wife’s load by working more, which just made the mother-in-law dislike Salia more.

However, they found out that Salia was a couple of weeks pregnant and the issue finally calmed… to some degree.

Sean had heard her mumble ’Been married for 10 years, decided to get pregnant in this hell hole’ under her breath many times.

He hadn’t hung around them for so long, but he already wanted to strangle her. He couldn’t imagine how it was for his soft-hearted sister.

Before, he couldn’t mind her too much because they were in constant danger from the outside world. How could a few earfuls be more of an issue than the threat of actual death?

However, if they had finally found a peaceful place here in Alterra, then it’d definitely be an issue if the old woman didn’t improve herself.

Sean wasn’t a particularly confrontive person though. He wondered if he should send Orz to do it for him.

Orz: "..."

Speaking of Orz, his brother and his students had long run to the ’moving stalls’ and were now buying everything. These three had never stopped eating since landing in Bright, and their foodie tendencies completely exploded after landing here.
