After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2107

Chapter 2107: Quo Laboratories

The laboratory in this town was far larger than the one in Tarron Village.

If that one looked like a small room the size of two conference rooms, this was as big as two basketball courts with that ceiling height.

They forced Plai to sign an oath of cooperation and non-betrayal. The oath he had in the town before apparently had a loophole—his oath was to assist the Lord with the activities and projects he wanted to start.

But if he was ill, what project could he start? Further, Plai wasn’t the one who caused him to be ill; it was Vairoz’s people, exempting him from punishment.

There were a lot of victims inside, so they could not just barge through and attack recklessly. If they used the same model as Tarron Village—that was to say, weakening the subjects first—then the victims were even more vulnerable.

Attacking recklessly would cause a lot of unnecessary deaths and tragedy. Those people had suffered enough.

They decided to sneak Althea in again. Garan was naturally uncomfortable, but he didn’t stop her from doing what she wanted to do.

As for why neither Garan nor Virion was sent out, it was because the two men were too intimidating to be believed to be hostages, and people just had a bias against women, making it easier for Althea to move instead.

While Plai was getting dragged forward, he kept wondering why no one had emerged at all. After all, he had sent a lot of messages to them! Even if they were late, they should’ve at least reacted to his letters! Why did it feel like there had been no movements at all recently?

Being held hostage like this was infuriating, and he wanted to yell their plans to his allies. Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t say anything now that he had made an additional oath.

It was a short-term oath, which ironically allowed for it to be extremely detailed and flawless.

When Plai found out that none of his desperate letters went through, the expression on his face would probably be hilariously dynamic.

Either way, Plai could only cooperate. He looked arrogantly at the guard who opened up the door, showing the blindfolded woman next to him.

He looked at Althea’s form, eyes fiery with vindictiveness. Maybe they could make her suffer!

"Here’s a new elementalist—the triple elementalist one!!" Plai said, grinning. "Treat her well!"

...

The scientists gaped and watched as the new subject entered the room. She was really beautiful!

"I have never handled a dual elementalist before, but now I’m handling a triple elementalist!" one of the scientists—a level 26 human—said excitedly. "Good job capturing such a fine specimen! It’s wasted on a woman, but then again, isn’t that why she was easily captured?"

Plai’s eyes twitched, but the punishment for the oaths was harsh; he dared not reveal any more clues.

The oath would only last one day, which was the shortest duration an oath could last. However, this short duration allowed for very specific instructions and punishments. It could be said that Althea and Garan were also determined to experiment on the limits of this kind of oath.

The requirement was to act completely as an ally within the day, and the punishment for going against the expected behavior pattern could range from losing gold to losing his innate ability.

Don’t look at him appearing to dislike his ability; actually losing it was a matter of losing an appendage—one might dislike the shape of his hand, but they would still live with it rather than cut it off.

It was why he was not planning on sending out clues at all today.

What could happen within a day, anyway?

As for what would happen after the oath expired, he was determined to get his revenge!

At this time, Althea’s head was down, looking like a meek quail, shivering a bit as the blindfold over her eyes was removed and she saw she was surrounded by several men.

Now, Althea’s acting skills were not the best, but it was enough to deal with prideful, misogynistic men.

Plai left them alone, and he went out, this time to guide Garan’s group to another laboratory.

To avoid conflicts and breaking of the status quo, the experiments on humans and half-orcs and the experiment on orcs were in different places.

To loosen a person’s lips, if not by fear, use his ego.

Even if some were lustful...they weren’t against doing it after the experiments.
