After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 930

The group travelled East, simply because West was towards the village that attacked them. They knew this because Atlas could calculate shadows.

They traversed the forests, with weapons out in case they encountered mobs. As they traveled, they saw that the plants had begun to gain vitality. If they stayed in a place to rest, they could even see the change with their bare eyes.

It was fascinating.

When they found Gouji fruits that had started to fruit, they immediately took a few, even if they weren’t ripe yet. Who knew how many more hours or days that’d take! They were starving!

They gobbled up whatever food they could. Atlas would advise them not to eat some unfamiliar plants, but fortunately, they weren’t too picky. They could eat leaves now. They even found it luscious because it wasn’t dried up for a change.

However, the surroundings were still recovering in the end, but they had to continue traveling. They also had to fight the mobs that had also appeared, so they really couldn’t let down their guard at all.

The next few hours were no less perilous than before, and they could only say they were lucky enough to have things to eat otherwise they would be eaten by monsters with fair ease.

"Are you okay?" Tim asked, lips parched and his cheek hollow. Hana found it a bit unsightly, but she knew she probably looked the same.

Thank goodness there were no mirrors.

At the same time, because she couldn’t see herself, she still had the image of her beautiful self.

Inevitably, her memory would almost always go back to the peaceful time in Terran.

She would even remember Ansel, the love of her life. They unfortunately had to break up when she went back to her country after the exchange program was over, but she still believed he was her soul mate.

They remained friends though and occasionally chatted online.

She really, really, missed him—and that life—so, so much.

In fact, before people become zombies, she was supposed to go back to Eden to do a surprise visit. She had dreamed of a grand reunion then, where Ansel would be touched with her gesture.

Maybe they would even do the deed.

She was still guarding her virginity, in fact, and not even her new boyfriend had a glimpse of intimacy from her. They had not even kissed.

Anyway, Tim, unaware of the comparison, religiously wiped her sweat with his hand. They didn’t have clean cloth left, but he made sure to clean his hands on the few relatively-clean patches of clothing he had on before doing so.

Hana smiled—she admitted she was a little touched—though internally she would compare his every movement to her handsome first boyfriend.

He was such a gentleman—Ansel was. He was so dreamy and treated women with so much charm. Her heart beat in excitement whenever she thought of it.

She felt a bit dazed like this, while another woman looked jealously at the care she was getting.

"Shame. It’s hard enough to survive on your own, brother, but you had to drag along another burden."

Tim sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You’re no different, sis."

"You!"

The others easily ignored the arguments. It wasn’t the first time. Besides, if they stopped it now, chances were: Tilda would zone in on them as the next target.

"A mob, Run!" Atlas yelled at his companions and they climbed up a tree each, just in time for the mob to arrive.

Their hearts were in their throats as the mob passed them. After so long of fighting, they barely had any spirit left. They couldn’t afford to fight every mob they encountered.

After minutes of tension, they realized that the mobs were headed in a direction. He looked another way and saw another small mob heading toward the same place. Considering the angles, the two mobs would be merging soon, creating a large mob that would definitely kill them all in a blink of an eye.

At least they knew where a territory was, but would they be able to handle it? What if the territory fell in the end?

He asked his teammates what they thought should be done and they unanimously said not to risk it.

"Perhaps… since the mobs are concentrated there, we can travel more at ease," Tim suggested. "You mentioned there were mobs heading East, anyway."

"Then we will head further east to northeast," Atlas said and the others nodded, thinking it made sense.

That was their chance to get to Limestone Valley, and they just missed it.

However, after a few more hours of walking, they did find a path. Atlas and the others were extremely puzzled to see something like that in the middle of nowhere, but they were also hopeful at the hint of civilization nearby.

They immediately followed it, soon coming across a wooden board with writings. They all blinked, looking at it in puzzlement and in awe.

It was a sign.

Literally.
