After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2044

Chapter 2044: Back to Metteo Town

Althea had to ponder on this for a bit longer and discuss it with her husband and her other confidantes.

From what she knew, the crystal would only need to be present when creating the potion for the children. It was like a necessary source of energy. It would remain an independent item after that, so the question would be what to do with it afterward.

She could tell that there would be plenty of advantages, but it would be those exact advantages that could turn this into a tragedy.

Treasure attracts blessings and evil.

She shook her head and put this issue aside, for now. She gathered the earth energy around her and shot up her body, emerging from under the soil.

Althea immediately found herself embraced by her husband, his face buried on her shoulder as he shivered. She sighed, patted his back, and politely nodded her head to the other two.

The other two also heaved breaths of relief, approaching them. They kept the distance at one meter. "How was it?" Medusa asked.

"I got it," she said. "Mission complete."

It was then that Garan raised his head, eyebrows furrowed before he leaned down to meet her lips. Althea smiled and wrapped her arms around him, accepting his onslaught and not caring about their audience. The other two could only look away and do their own thing.

When the couple’s PDA was temporarily finished, they prepared to head home. The next areas were in different parts of the world, and it was fine for them to head back to Alterra.

They had been gone for a month, and they missed their children too much. They also needed to send the samples for study and replenish their stock. Hopefully, in the past month, their Intelligence Team had gathered more information about the next target locations.

...

They cleared a few more Undead to let out excess anxiety before heading out. Sinnan and Medusa would be coming with them to Metteo, so they could rest there before heading back to Dune Town.

The small group only rested once outside the walls (in the Cave they camped in before entering) and then headed straight to Metteo without rest. It took them about another two days to reach the vicinity of the town.

They could already feel they were being watched upon their arrival, but easily ignored them.

They were too tired to bother with anything else. Fortunately, they were trying to gain their favor or get them to their side so they wouldn’t make trouble with them just yet.

They went to the inn to get rooms booked, but Althea stopped them when they were supposed to book three rooms.

"We can’t have anyone alone tonight," she said, just in case.

They understood this, but how to divide the rooms? Medusa and Sinnan were not in a relationship.

They were ambiguous, yes, but it wasn’t official. Althea only remembered it now, so she volunteered. "Then Medusa and I—"

Garan immediately reacted and pulled her to his chest. She raised her head and looked at his eyes. Her eyes twitched when she saw his expression. He looked like he’d been wronged.

She almost chuckled. Such a big guy, what’s he doing acting like a baby?

Garan then looked at Sinnan, who flinched. "I...I can stay in the room with Medusa," he said, voice rough. "I have mats so I can sleep on the floor without a problem."
