After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1980

Chapter 1980: The Children’s States

Ansel and the Golds saw this too and they appeared next to the babies, and lifted them up to check their states.

"Wuuuu..."

"Oh...our babies are sooo good," Ansel said, controlling the shakiness in his voice and trying to be as soothing as he could. He was holding Pepper, who was nearest to him, and patted her back.

Meatball was taken by Olga, who was also trying to soothe the crying child.

Their hearts were bleeding!

At this, several people kicked the speedster’s body as if the vent, and someone even used the speedster’s now-dead head as a ball before repeatedly stomping on his face.

The adults carrying the children took them away and headed to the hospital to get checked, but then they realized they had grown quiet.

For a moment, they thought they had passed out due to exhaustion.

Until they realized they were burning up. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

...

"CHILDREN!"

In the hospital, Althea shot up from her bed with wide eyes.

She gaped, looking around and realizing that she was in an unfamiliar room. Absorbing things for a second, she recognized the place as one of the private wards of the hospital.

She turned to the side and saw that her husband was also unconscious. "Husband..." she said, going to him. He was cold, but fortunately, it wasn’t as erratic as last time.

After sending an aether letter to ask about the situation, she placed a bit of her energy on him, and he opened his eyes soon after.

They did not delay and walked out of the hospital, seeing Ansel, who was to see them.

"You’re awake!" he exclaimed, relieved. He immediately led them to another room. "Your children..."

"What?" The couple immediately understood that something had happened to their children!

With bated breath, their feet were quick, and they opened the door to see the children on their little bed with small railings, and they were both unconscious.

Their cheeks were flushed, eyebrows furrowed, and their little mouths were parted as if they were struggling to breathe.

There were several medical professionals there, healers trying to help them continuously to the point of exhaustion.

The healers would switch whenever the others got tired, making sure that the kids were being sustained.

Althea was thankful to everyone, but she had no mind to voice it out right now. Her emerald eyes were teary, filled only with the image of her children.

Garan was also shaken, but he knew full well he could not break down. For both of them.

"We will find out," he said, trying to sound as stable as possible. "The children will be okay."

...

The alchemists, the Golds, and many others soon arrived to see the children.

The alchemists had actually been here as soon as they heard the children were ill, but they were observing and also had to wait for the blood test results to come out to conclude anything.

They had a feeling it had to do with their lineage, but there were some differences with the states Althea and Garan had been in before. At least the couple recovered on their own. In contrast, the children didn’t seem like they were able to regulate the changes in their bodies at all.

Zenno had also contacted the Holt royal family during this time. That family was some of the most knowledgeable people when it came to the most mysterious race. Although their knowledge base was still limited, what they knew was definitely far more than most territories combined.

At this point, there was no reason to hide things anymore. Not only could the kids be in danger, but many people had also seen them use their abilities during the war. It was inevitable for this to spread out.

While many might just assume they were special abilities that manifested early, those in-the-know would think more deeply.

Anyway, Zenno had sent the letter even before the war ended, and now, a few hours later, they had received the response.

Hopefully, the city could really help them out.
