After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1922

Chapter 1922: Valov’s First Move! (Part 1)

Garan and the guards arrived right after the second explosion, which was less than a minute later. Some went to check on the ministers and their assistants, while the rest swept through the ground to check for any other dangers or triggers as well as remnants of what was left behind.

The bombs were somewhat strong, but they wouldn’t be able to lethally injure people beyond level 30, so it was them who were assigned to go around.

Althea found herself lifted up, and she unconsciously wrapped her arms around the familiar hold and scent. She buried her head on his shoulders and his neck, shivering.

"What’s going on?" Garan asked, voice cracking from shock.

Althea hugged him tighter, but desperately. "Where are the children?! I think the children could be in danger—"

"What? They’re with Lola—they’re visiting the orphanage. I was just there." When he heard the explosion, he assigned guards to guard the children.

Althea calmed down and then recalled a notification she had passed over due to her panic.

She took a deep breath and went out of his hold as she gathered herself. By this time, the smoke had cleared, and there were holes all over, damaged vegetation, and a lot of injuries. There didn’t seem to be casualties yet, fortunately.

"This must be Valov’s ploy so they could attack us."

"What?"

"They had just declared war on us, husband," she said, and then looked at Harold, whose panicked face remained and was exacerbated as he saw her.

"Miss Althea! The children, the children!!" his voice was cracking, and his eyes were teary. He was also injured, the side of his head and his arms showing relatively deep wounds.

"Where are they, where are they—"

If she didn’t see him limping or wincing, Althea would wonder if he felt the pain. Rather, it was more like finding the children was much more important than his injuries. He was sincerely looking for the children.

Looking at him like this, Althea’s eyes narrowed. Now that she was calmer, she could see Harold’s eyes were teary but glazed, and only now did she notice it.

He genuinely believed what he was saying.

And it wasn’t just them. Most ministers could possibly be the Lord, so they went through similar things.

At the side, they could hear Mathilda shaking her assistant’s shoulder.

"Jun? What did you say?"

Even Jun had the same appearance as Harold, panicked, teary, and even grief-stricken. "Miss Mathilda! Please help! Didn’t Miss Gwen go out for training? She is in trouble now! Please, there’s no time to stay still like this!"

Rather, when she asked him what he was doing there, they found out that one of the guards—who was also unconscious now—had convinced him that there were emergency situations that required their presence. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
