After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1845

Chapter 1845: The Fire Extinguished (Part 1)

Yeshiya had seen her uncle. He was a survivor and he was like a corpse. At 50 years old, he was incredibly weak and had lost most of his level due to the disease. Now, he looked thirty years older.

But at least he was alive, and this was because he was level 20 when he contracted it. She was only level 15. What would happen to her?!

She had taken the inhibitor, but it seemed like its effectiveness had worn out. She heard that it significantly slowed down the disease, but she realized she had been afflicted long ago; the onset had been delayed. If there was any comfort, the inhibitor guaranteed she would not go past level 2.

It was still so painful. So very painful.

Even if it was not as bad as those who had been completely afflicted, it still felt like she was burning from the inside. If she were to touch water now, she felt it would let out some steam.

"No, I’m going to die... wuuu," she cried. She wanted to buy some food, but now she was rolling around the grass and the branches of shrubs poking against her skin.

Was she going to die in this humiliating position?!

Unexpectedly, she felt large, strong hands wrap around her arm. She felt the weightless sensation and the next thing she knew, she was already standing up, supported by an arm behind her back.

She looked up to see a man with dark hair and a cool expression on his face. Immediately, Yeshiya’s face flushed red, and her heart beat even louder.

Combined with the current symptoms, all of her senses were now overwhelmed.

"I..."

"You have a heavy fever," he said, looking at her arm which had a simple colored bracelet. "You’ve taken an inhibitor."

She nodded. This meant that she could stay in this zone, as only the smoke from those in the last phase was truly poisonous. Otherwise, she’d have been thrown out to another zone by now and might’ve even received some punishment for going around on her own.

"What are you doing outside?" he asked. He used his usual deadpan and bored tone of voice, but Yeshiya found it absolutely sexy.

Was the fever making her delusional? Who knew...

"...I’m buying food."

"Why not get a delivery?"

"I...I feel like the disease would get worse if I don’t move."

Crow looked at her, nodding, and then he took her to the nearest grocery store. Most of the smaller food stores were self-service. They just had to pay at a designated slot.

The rules were active anyway and it could count as theft if they left the premises without paying for it properly.

Crow, donning a handsome guard uniform nodded, and gestured to walk away. However, how could Yeshiya just let him go?

"What’s your name?" she asked. She knew he had a job to do, so she couldn’t keep him for long. But she at least had to know his name!
