Building a City at the End of the World

CHAPTER 006

“Kakak ?” At this moment, the sleepy voice of a little girl suddenly sounded from inside the room, as if she had just woken up.

The woman next to the little girl quickly stepped forward and grabbed the little girl to shut her mouth so she wouldn't make a sound, and continued to look at the door warily.

The movement outside the door immediately stopped when he heard the voice of a little girl. And at the same time, the thunder and lightning from the older sister of the girl kept coming hard, it was as if they were afraid that people outside the door had a gap to do evil intentions to their families.

“You misunderstood, we have no bad intentions at all. We have just been looking for a suitable place to rest the night because it is getting dark, it is not good to travel at night, and there is a danger where - where.” Dean hurriedly shouted loudly so that the people inside the door heard his voice.

Seno's wife and child, Dean's parents, and the three children they brought with them also walked inside. 

Seeing there were pregnant women, children, and parents in groups of survivors on the opposite side. Alina's family was clearly shocked, and eventually the power of the thunder and lightning attacks reduced a lot but still held on to guard.

“Sorry to bother you, but it's dark today and we can't go too far at night. So don't worry that we really don't have any bad intentions at all. Can you let us stay here for one night and we will leave early tomorrow morning.” Seno's wife stepped forward to mediate between the two groups and said sincerely.

The people inside the door remained silent.

“Forget it, don't embarrass others and scare the kids, let's go out and walk for a while to find a place to spend the night.” Dean's mother also responded.

Dean nodded his head silently - silent, the whole family was already very tired after a long day of traveling and did not have the energy to conflict with others. So they wouldn't mind the other group that was inside the warehouse and turned around to go look for somewhere else.

Just as they were about to go out the door of the warehouse, one of the people inside the door said, “You guys stay here, there is no safe shelter around here.”

The one who spoke was clearly a girl.

After the girl spoke, she closed the door of the small room. Everyone knows that it means he and the people inside receive a place to spend the night but do not want to disturb each other.

Dean and his group let out a sigh of relief, everyone was tired and they really did not have the energy to find another place to spend the night.

They find one corner to settle in, Dean and his group take out a dry food and a bottle of water from their bag.

Everyone had a piece of dried food and everyone could only drink a mouthful of water.

The three young men in the group, Dean, Seno, and Dino. Eat while having a discussion about who's guarding in the first, second, and third half of the night.

At this time, the people inside the door are also on guard, and from time to time attach their ears to the door to hear the movements of the people outside.

“Lina, there are so many people on their side, is it dangerous for us if they stay put ?” Alina's mother spoke weakly.

The so-called Lina was Alina who had recently left Hope City. He returned to the base to take his father, mother and sister out of the base and moved to Hope City. It took a lot of effort to get her family to move there, but luckily Alina found a car that could be driven for a while.

It took two days to travel from the base to Hope City, and the car was completely exhausted by the mutant plants.

When the sky had started to darken, the distance between Alina and her current family with Hope City was still quite far. So their family could only spend one more night on the trip.

Seeing that the group of people outside still bring pregnant women, children, and parents. He could not bear to let them out to find another place to spend the night. It's dark, and if those people are looking for somewhere else outside, it's not the same as killing them. 

Alina looked again at the shy little girl among the group, and the pregnant woman with a big belly. Alina sighed, it seemed like they were good people who would not leave relatives for a piece of dry food.

“That's impossible, we are one family, how can I leave you and dad there to suffer ? we should always be together.” Alina said firmly, family is the bottom line until anytime.

“Silent is very strong, he can definitely drive away the bad guys.” The little girl in the room said as she raised her little fist, her eyes filled with a sense of confidence towards the elder brother.

After speaking, the little girl took out half of the flower cake that her brother had brought when out earlier (the cake given by the Mayor of Althea), which she had been given, he reluctantly to tear off a piece of cake in his hand and put it in his mouth, the little girl narrowed her eyes joyfully feeling the delicious flower cake in her mouth.

Alina's mother smiled gently at her little daughter eating happily, and patted her daughter's head softly, hoping that the place described by the eldest daughter would really be so good that their family would not have to worry all day, and her eldest daughter would not have to work hard for them all the time.

“Sister, is the beautiful woman you mentioned really able to juggle food and let us live in a beautiful home ?” The little girl asked in a tone full of anticipation.

Alina nodded and replied, “That's right.”

When they went to sleep at night, the little girl fell asleep with a small smile on her lips, dream of endless flower cakes and new tents for their family of four living.

In the morning, the peace of the morning was broken by the noise of the people outside.

“That flower mouse.” At this moment, Seno, who was taking turns to guard the night saw a shadow - a black shadow from a distance that ran towards them, running towards them, and shouted to wake up his group and the group of people inside the door with full warning.

Seno's loud shout woke up everyone who was inside the warehouse including Alina's family.

On the last days, smaller mutant beasts were more difficult to deal with, as they often appeared in groups.

Alina and her family also heard what was happening outside, their faces changed drastically and they quickly packed up and prepared to leave.

There was a knock outside the door, Dean, who was standing in front of the door said, “There are mutant rats outside and are heading towards this warehouse.”

Alina was stunned and did not expect that Dean would come to remind them.

“... Thank you.”

Dean did not talk much and left in a hurry. 

When Alina packed up and took her family out of the warehouse, Dean and his entourage had left the warehouse. Looking at the mutant rat that was getting closer, Alina could not help but feel numbness in her scalp.

The power of thunder and lightning flared in his hands, ready to face the crowd of mutant rats desperately, there was a fine grain of sweat on his forehead which signified that he was extremely nervous, and that he was extremely nervous, he had been protecting his family the past two days and he had suffered a lot of injuries, but he kept it a secret. 

Last night, when he faced Dean, it was already the end of a battle he could endure. And now, he felt even more helpless to deal with so many mutant rats alone, he said, and he had already begun to think about how he had sent his parents and sisters away from this place and avoided the mutant rats.

“Log in to car.” As Alina was thinking about how to get out of the matter, she heard a voice accompanied by a minibus horn not far away, and Dean poked his head out of the driver's seat.

Stunned for a while, Alina unhesitatingly carried her parents and sister into the car.

The car drove at high speed, and the mutant rat behind it smelled the flesh from the car then chased after it.
