After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1499

Chapter 1499: Various Recruitments

"Can you tell us more?" Otto asked. Although Alterra had encountered a version of the effects back then, the Golds were still in Bleulle at the time.

Not to mention, because it didn’t exactly happen in Alterra itself, it simply hadn’t been mentioned. The offer in Voumi Town was the first time Otto encountered this substance.

Fos then narrated what (New) Shrao Village experienced back then. Fortunately, in their case, the supply was limited because the items were just stocked by some refugees. Shrao simply brought the problem to Alterra as soon as they could and it was controlled.

He told them of its intense effects, which were much more rabid than what they had seen in Voumi, because the victims at the time were very low-leveled.

"I have heard of addictive plants before, and they were frowned upon, but there are places who use them," Otto said. As a famous merchant in his region, he had heard or encountered more things than others.

"Those are probably similar. This is much more potent because it had been purified and added with some other enhancers we don’t know about," Sammy said, recalling that case.

"Anyway, as long as we can control its spread in our area, it shouldn’t be much of a problem," the dark-skinned soldier said. "Of course, we’d still try to stop it from spreading because once it does, it’d be like a pandemic."

He then turned to Misha. "Would their effects still be the same with our high levels?"

"It has effects on Hesso, who’s well past level 20," Misha said. "So it’s safe to assume it can affect anyone below level 30."

Their jaws clenched. If the drug could have some effect on someone with that level, no wonder the lower leveled ones who had been exposed became half-crazy.

"They reached Voumi," Mao said, whistling. "Looks like a group is starting a drug trade in this place."

"Didn’t our intelligence network catch wind of this?"

"You realize that a region in Xeno is as big as a country in Terran right?" one said. "Besides, we have just landed in Voumi a few weeks ago, and we’ve already managed to affect their business."

"This is definitely something Alterra should be aware of."

Misha couldn’t help but look at these people.

From Silvia and also from Otto, she knew that the main power behind all of this was Terran—which was already impressive in its own way. However, now they talked about affecting an established Town as if it were a matter of fact?

They were also discussing the territory as a center of power of sorts—one that could make changes around it as it wanted.

Misha had heard about its greatness many times from many people the past few days, but seeing this gave her another perspective.

Anyway, this topic was soon put on pause because they needed the input of the Elders.

The next agenda was the division of ’slaves’. It was already accepted that not everyone would go to Alterra—Alterra didn’t really want them all, anyway.

Alterra though, had declared a few names they hoped to keep for themselves. Other than that, it was free rein.

In this case, the associate villages would pay twice as much as whatever they paid to Mafo. Of course, the former slaves would also have the right to choose if they wanted to go with them at all.

After that, Sammy and the others agreed to update the associate territories with vital information about people from this region, as well as the white powder.

Unlike Alterra, whose hospitals were full of incredible experts, the drug might cause them quite a bit of trouble if they detected it too slowly.

When the meeting adjourned and everyone stood up, Otto’s eyes fixed on Misha, who seemed to be approaching his direction.

Instead of going to him though, he went straight to Juno. "Can I talk to you?"

Juno blinked before nodding and the two went elsewhere.

Otto frowned as they disappeared into a corner. He thought for a while before attempting to follow, though he was stopped by Mao and Sammy asking a few more questions.

By the time he escaped them, Misha was already queueing up in the weapons store to get her weapons. For the slaves, they had to borrow some money for equipment since they literally had nothing on them.

He cleared her throat as he approached, causing the woman’s eyebrows to rise as she looked at him. She then looked at the line behind her before giving him a look.

"Line up properly."

"..."

"What did you and Juno talk about?"
