After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2063

Chapter 2063: Passing by Bleulle

Caravans set for Metteo Town and the desert area had been formed. Everyone involved was alerted to prepare everything they had to. There were even checklists, kindly written by their logistics officers.

So many people have been going on adventures for a while now, but not many people have gone beyond the region.

Before this, especially after Althea and Garan left, there had indeed been a lot of departures in their halls. However, they were usually just to Ferrol and back. Ferrol was like their neighbor.

Now, in terms of distance, other people were heading to other continents. How could people not worry? This was especially true for the relatives.

For example, inside one of the penthouse units in a popular mid-rise building, a family of three was having a meal together. It would likely be the last one together in a long while.

"Are you sure you really wanna go?" Ricky, Alterra’s head glassmaker, looked at his niece and nephew with deep worried eyes.

"Yes, Uncle," the two said simultaneously.

"I’ll make sure our teams will always be together," Ryan added to comfort his uncle. He might not be worried for Ryan, who was a local powerhouse, but he was naturally worried for Sunny, who had barely passed the village cap.

As for why Sunny and several others at this level were allowed to join in, it was because level 18 or 19 was the recommended level of joining this mission, not the requirement.

As long as the civilians were handling things themselves, they were allowed to handle their own training. They could advise against it, but risking their own lives was everyone’s freedom.

Sunny had a rich uncle and brother, so her team not only hired Alterran mercenaries, they were also open to hiring locally in Metteo to assist them. Erol, their liaison, had ’safe’ connections there he could forward to them.

As for why they insisted on coming along at all, it was mostly because Sunny couldn’t leave her sister-in-law alone. Like, she could literally fall ill.

Sunny’s mother died of depression after losing their youngest sibling in a miscarriage. Ryan was already in his teens by then and was living in the school dormitories, but the young Sunny was right there, watching the process of her mother falling apart.

With Sunny going, Dog was going, too. He and Sunny had just started dating officially. How could he bear to have a long-distance relationship already?

Crow, on the other hand, wouldn’t go to the desert just to accompany friends. However, it so happened that he was already about to reach level 18, so he decided to join in as well.

Yeshiya, an aborigine from Basset and had basically settled down in Alterra, had also joined in and tagged along on their trip. Rumor has it that she was after Crow, but neither party had confirmed this yet.

Ryan had no idea about the ins and outs of the situation. He was just sad his only relatives were going so far away, and risking their lives in the process. "That’s so far away..."

They had to go through so many things to be reunited. As their only elder, how could he not worry?

"It’s necessary for a few of us to get some fresh air," Ryan said, trying to comfort this uncle of theirs. The older man did not appreciate it. Instead, he gave Ryan a look.

"Get some fresh air? You mean sand in your nostrils, right?"

"..."

Ryan wanted to give his wife a new landscape to explore. Nothing can beat Alterra, but it was now full of memories, and sometimes, when they were on a walk, he’d see her run to an alley and dry heave.

That was when they passed by a children’s clothing store.

Many times, she woke up from a nightmare, crying, feeling sorry for the unborn child because of her arrogance.

Then, the next day, she would pass through peaceful streets and wonder how old her baby would’ve been when she passed through that street.

Ryan worried so much for his wife, and a bit of the outside world could help. Her level happened to be perfect for the mission too, so maybe leveling up a few times would also strengthen his wife’s psyche more than her physique.
