After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1936

Chapter 1936: Babies in the Bunker

BOOM!

An explosion resounded across the neighborhood, making many people standing a few streets away flinch.

If they were still in the peaceful Terran, most would probably scurry away, looking for a place to hide and cover. However, here, their first instinct was to rush over the chaos, weapons out and defense equipment on.

The smoke cleared out after a few moments, and groans and cries abounded—most of which were children’s.

The adults were quick on their feet, checking everyone’s status.

"Damn it! How is everyone?"

The guards were quick to move after the explosions, and the nearby medical professionals were called in. A team of guards also swept through the area to see if there were more suspicious individuals.

Even if the igniter himself was pulled to prison, there could be allies guarding him or assisting him in some way or form, so there might still be enemies around.

Not to mention, there was a limited number of sentries around. Kidnapping a child with a hostile heart could trigger it, but what if there were a lot of people moving, a lot of children getting taken? They could not risk it!

Fortunately, there was a flare. The children, whose levels were still very low, managed to escape lethal damage.

If not—

They couldn’t even imagine it!

Still, a few were still injured and had to go to the hospital. They wouldn’t be taken to the bunkers anymore, but probably to an evacuation center after they get treated instead.

One of the injured was actually Samantha, who was unlucky enough to be hit by a small shrapnel while protecting three kids. It was embedded on her shoulder, so she had to be operated on.

Although there were no casualties, it made everyone’s blood boil!

Althea and the rest arrived in the area as soon as the bomb exploded, heading there as soon as the flare was fired. When they arrived, the explosion had already happened, causing several trees and shrubs, as well as pathways, to splatter all over.

The bombs were placed on the trees and green strips in the middle of the pathways. They must’ve been well hidden, and the enemy could’ve employed some other stealth tools, so they weren’t detected. There was also the possibility of the bombs being added after the guards scoured the area. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The guards did their best, but a gap was inevitable if the other side had true strength, skills, and equipment to do the deed. Not to mention the knowledge of the rules and the System, allowing them to take advantage of many things the victims might not have considered.

One of Alterra’s disadvantages had always been its young age. They had only been in this world for a few years; they couldn’t know everything.

Althea rushed to her children, who were, fortunately, completely unharmed, but teary in shock. They were held by a guard, now dusty, but he protected them well.

She took both children in her arms as she thanked the guard, who immediately mobilized to guard the family in case of more threats incoming.

The rules could detect hostile hearts, but it would only take action when the enemies took action, too. And if the enemies were strong and skilled, no matter how quick the system reacted, the enemies could still cause damage.

Althea’s heart clenched as she embraced them. "Oh, my babies..."
