After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 138

Althea felt she was very, very close to upgrading. With the level of the mobs outside the Beast Tide, it may take her a while to upgrade if she let this chance pass.

After all, for some reason, she couldn’t get experience from level 1s anymore when she was only level 5. This was a mystery even to the NPCs, as she should still be able to get some experience until she was level 6.

When else would she be able to see so many level 2s together?

Not for a long time, right? Not when she couldn’t travel too far away due to her pregnancy anymore…

With this thought, she looked at her stats.

Seeing there were only a few monsters away from an upgrade, she couldn’t help but frown. It would be such a pity not to take advantage of this.

So, how could she not?

Althea rested on the battlement for a moment as she wiped off the grime and sweat off her face and neck. At the very least, she gave herself a moment of respite as she took all the remaining medicines she had and ate all the special-effects food from Cooke.

As she rested, her green eyes watched the battle below with great interest. At the back of her head though, she was closely watching the recovery of her health and mana, eager to join the fight.

A few minutes later, she stood up again.

’Just a bit more’, she mused. She decided to push herself a little further.

With a huff and a little prayer, she went to the edge of the battlement, taking out the Bellagio again.

"Ms. Althea?" Oslo exclaimed, worried, and he immediately ran to her, ready to defend.

But Althea herself was very high level compared to the mob, combined with her powerful weapon and recovered mana, she went on a killing spree.

"What?"

"She’s not even nine months pregnant!" Sheila said, confused. "Although technically, she should only be about seven months in…"

"What?" Hugo asked, his eyes following the flurry of activity in front of him, "What does that mean??"

"The Change… it accelerated the growth of the children." She shook her head, knowing this was not the time to discuss this. "What happened this time?!"

It was Eugene who cut the atmosphere, dark-colored eyes looking at Althea. "She upgraded." He told them. As someone with very high observation skills, he noticed some changes in her aura.

"She upgraded six levels since then?" Betty asked as she quickly used her ability to stabilize her, giving Lily and Sheila time to prepare the tools.

Betty didn’t know how to deal with the mystery either, but she knew how to handle the emergency at hand.

She immediately asked the nurses to prepare a room, who ran immediately to prepare for the suffering woman on the bed.

Even Sheila, whose body was automatically working in a flurry, was sobbing a little as she did so.

While these was all being prepared, Althea—covered in sweat and pale in bloodlessness—finally couldn’t hold back the intense pain anymore.

Body feeling like it was being pulled on all directions, she let out a toe-knurling scream—piercing everyone’s hearts.

…

…

…

Thousands of miles away, Garan whipped his head to a direction, feeling an unprecedented sense of dread.

His heart clenched and his blood turned cold.

Without thinking, his feet moved as he sprinted to the direction of the Fog.

He ignored the surprised yells of his subordinates and just ran there, using all his strength.

Faster, faster!

As he ran closer, the horrid feeling intensified and he couldn’t help but let out a heart-wrenching roar.

"ALTHEAAA!!!"
