After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1979

Chapter 1979: Dealing with the Speedster

A speedster could do a lot of things in a short amount of time, and they could definitely travel a long way. By the time this happened, he was only a few blocks away from the exit, while people in the bunkers—even Gaia herself—had just alerted the guards of the anomaly.

Still, Alterra reacted very quickly considering everything. Not to mention the news already disseminating across the Guards’ communication network, those who saw the children crying in the arms of a stranger naturally made them bolt for him.

"HERE!"

"GET HIM!!"

"HE’S GOT THE TWINS!!!"

Billis gasped, realizing he had messed up. He immediately continued his way, avoiding the people trying to grab hold of him.

Huff...huff...

He had to do his best since there were people there with high levels in the area. Although he knew he could outrun them, if he was surrounded, he did not know how long he could do so.

His arrogance had been chipped away now, and he had become genuinely worried.

"AH!" It was not helping that the damned toddlers were either pulling his hair and getting heavier, as if purposely trying to break his bones!

Suddenly, the weight of the child on his shoulders spiked, and he instinctively angled his body to fight against it.

His instincts were telling him that it was getting dangerous. It was not because the enemies were catching up to them, but because of the children themselves!

He felt scared and raised his hand to hit them. He didn’t want to kill them (yet) as he needed to take them hostage, but they needed to behave! Ideally, lose their consciousness already!

PAK!

He saw the flash of the protection charm being activated. While running, he continuously hit them, unconsciously increasing the force due to his panic.

But those tokens protected them in each hit. He was a superspeed person, and each hit was fast, and on his dozenth hit, they were still being protected!!!

ORCSHIT!! "HOW MANY DO YOU BRATS HAVE?!" he screamed, shocked at the fact that there seemed to be an endless supply of barriers around them.

This was even more than their mother, right?!

This reminded him of when he was dealing with their mother, and the humiliation made him even angrier.

BANG!

He must’ve been distracted by the children that he had no idea he was already led to an Alterran trap. There were bumps made of earth appearing in front of him, causing him to lose balance.

But he was not called a powerhouse just because he had a high level and speed; His reflexes were also no joke.

He rolled over, not caring whether the children were hit or crushed under him. It was just that they were lucky that they were positioned in a way that if they got hurt, he would’ve as well.

He raised his head and saw that they were already surrounded by various forces. He also saw the Golds, who were superior in level to him, and he knew that even if he managed to run, he’d be captured quickly.

He tried to grab the two children—one on his shoulder, the other on his neck—with a hand each. He saw how everyone flinched at the sight, genuinely concerned for the children. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
