Building a City at the End of the World
CHAPTER 007
“Thank you.” Alina sat behind Dean and finally let out a voice after remaining silent for a few seconds.
“Treat it as a gift for your kindness last night.” Dean replied with a faint smile on his lips.
Looking at the shadow of the mutant rat behind her, Alina gritted her teeth and thought for a few seconds, then said, “If you believe me, after the crossroads in front, turn left, then, there's a little town of Magical where you can take shelter.”
If it was before, Alina was unwilling to do so, not wanting to expose the small town. Because after all, he cannot bring the crisis to the unknown with certainty to the Mayor of Althea, but the actions of Dean and his group make Alina feel that they are not bad people.
“Small town ?? Where is there a safe city now ??” Seno asked with a frown.
“In the beginning I will take my family there. I can't tell you in detail, but as long as we can get to the city, we'll all be safe. As a guarantee, my family and I are also in the car, I can not play with their safety.” Alina said when faced with Seno's doubts, Alina still did not change her face.
Dean thought for half a minute, then glanced towards the car's fuel gauge again, and finally said, “Let's go to the small town in question first.”
He took advantage of last night's vigil to pick up gasoline from abandoned cars near the warehouse. If something went wrong, at least he could still take everyone away, just like this time.
Dino opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she did not say anything.
Some people in the car looked at each other anxiously, full of anxiety and despair about their unknown future.
With Alina showing the way, the car can speed quickly out of town, said “Kota Harapan” looks brighter than when Alina first saw it.
Alina's heart was pounding fast, the city was getting closer and closer, and the joy of her heart grew stronger, finally, she managed to bring her family to the small town safely.
“True - there is a small town here.” Guman Seno's.
At this moment, Althea went out through the fence at the gate, she muttered about Alina's departure for a few days and had not returned to date.
After Althea turned around and entered the inside of the fence, the roar of the car rang out from a distance, and it seemed to be approaching towards the small town. Althea arrived - suddenly stiffened and a little panicked, someone was coming, who was it ?
Seeing that there was a car getting closer to the small town, Althea took a few steps back without her noticing.
“System.. System, you can really protect me right??” althea asked with a trembling tone and body.
“Ya, host, don't worry about your safety.” say the system patiently.
After the car drove into the city and passed the protective boundary outside the gate fence, the mutant rat behind them instantly lost its target.
And the car could not move forward after reaching a certain distance with the city gate, like there was an invisible force blocking them.
“What should I do, the car cannot be driven. “ cried Dean while stepping on the gas pedal hard, hoping the car can go at high speed at this time.
Everyone in the car looked back in unison, the mutant rat was running around on the spot, as if they were still wondering how the delicious meat that was about to be reached just disappeared.
Before Dean could sigh in relief, he saw a beautiful girl in white and soft appeared in front of them.
The girl was wearing pajamas with a picture of snow princess, carrying food in her hands, and looking towards them in surprise.
“Mayor Althea, I'm back.” Alina poked her head through the window from inside the minibus and waved at Mayor Althea excitedly.
“Nona Alina, this is you, you really surprised me,” Althea saw Alina, then lowered her heart to the stomach and became calm again.
Alina helped her parents out of the car, and carried her sister out of the car and walked behind her parents.
“Down too, this is the Mayor of Althea, he still has a house to live in this small town, there is also food and drink, you will get it as long as you pay the crystal core.” Alina told Dean's group who were in the car.
“Is there a scam ?” Dino asked in a whisper in Dean's ear.
“Let's see first, let's watch and leave immediately if something goes wrong.” Dean replied in a low voice.
“I don't think this little girl called mayor looks like a bad guy.” Seno's wife said after glancing towards Althea.
Some people were discussing in the car, while Alina and her family were already walking towards Althea with faces that looked a little embarrassed, “Mayor Al, I have made you trouble, I have made you trouble, these people were taken by me but they were not bad people, there, in the car, there were pregnant women, children, and parents. Can they be allowed to stay here ?”
Althea's eyes sparkled, yesterday, she was still worried about the speed of her crystal core gathering, isn't her crystal core here now ? where there he made trouble, this is definitely his dearest townspeople.
“Of course, the more residents in the city the better.” said Althea.
After he finished talking to Alina, he ran towards the car and tried to show a friendly and friendly smile, then said pleasantly, “Welcome to Hope Town, please, I am the mayor of this city, we have absolute security in this city, and also a comfortable home, of course there is food, sweet bread, and enough clean water, will you consider settling here ?”
“Then what should we pay ?” dean asked in a cautious tone, afraid to hurt the little girl outside the car with words.
“Crystal core, as long as there is a crystal core.” the subtle light in Althea's eyes is even more intense.
“How many crystal cores will it take to stay here ? if it is a seventh or eighth level crystal core, then it will be in vain because we do not have it.”
As soon as Seno replied, Althea immediately answered him, “No, no, our house is rewarded with twenty first-rate crystal nuclei for one night, no, and five hundred and eighty first-rate crystal nuclei for one month. Ten first-rate crystal nuclei for a bag of flour, the first ten crystal nuclei for a bag of rice, and different prices are available for bread, basically almost all need first-rate crystal cores for goods in our city. Everything is available in the grocery store, goods in our city should not be expensive in your opinion.”
“We want to see first and then discuss with our group then make a decision.” Dean replied who was dizzy with the pie shots arriving - this was, but Dean did not lose his mind. He replied after thinking about it for a while.
Althea immediately nodded her head and replied, “Yes of course you can.”
