After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2035

Chapter 2035: Entering the Wall

Potential grinding spots aside, Althea and Garan did reinforce the rest of the wall, at least the areas that seemed like it would break soon.

The current setup was only fun because the breach was small. It would be meaningless if the wall broke down any more that it already had.

One hundred meters long and ten meters high was too big for them to spend energy on right now. For the rest, if the plan to develop the place really pushed through, then they could bring in some construction materials.

By then, they would add some control even over the breach, so they could close it if they wanted to and open it up when they wanted to do an easy Undead hunt.

For Althea, an earth elementalist, and for Garan and Sinnan, who were metal elementalists, it was not too difficult. Today’s schedule was just to study the wall anyway, and they could get rest in the cave they found for tonight.

Althea carved grid lines along the walls, making them denser where the tension was high, like near the bottom. The location that needed to be repaired was the area around the breach, so they just worked on a few meters of that area.

The spacing of the carvings was not too dense since creating permanent metal was not easy. It was estimated that the two metal users would consume quite a bit of mana potion to complete even just this area.

After they placed the metals, Althea would cover the gaps with her abilities, and only then did they rest.

This way, even if they decided not to develop the place, the wall should last a few more years, and that was already a big enough contribution.

...

The next day, the group of four finally headed inside, with the two men carrying the women to save on energy.

To climb up the ten-meter wall wasn’t too difficult for the men. It wasn’t like it had anti-scaling features, so they could use their own strength.

The wall was built within a mountain pass, so the area right below the wall was narrow, making the undead particularly more creepy. This density was how they piled up so high in the first place.

"I wish we can just burn them..."

But they couldn’t.

Ironically, burning this amount of Undead while their cores were inside their bodies was akin to setting up micro-nuke. The radiation would also linger for a much longer time than it should, making things inconvenient for their mission.

At this, they decided to travel along the mountain face instead. The mountain was steep, but there were ledges. Except for Medusa, their current level, balance, and reflexes were enough for them to jump around at the side. Even if there weren’t enough ledges, they had their elements to create some.

The entire trip would’ve killed anyone with a fear of heights and a fear of zombies.

Sinnan, in particular, felt uncomfortable. It wasn’t that he was afraid of heights, but seeing so many Undead made his scalp crawl. This was the subject of nearly all horror stories growing up, after all.

The pass was surprisingly long, extending to a few kilometers. The number of undead had never diminished, and they ended up getting tired midway. After all, walking at an incline was much more tiring than walking on flat land, let alone near-vertical surfaces.

The steep mountainside with minimal stepping space was a very awkward place to get tired in.

In the end, they dug out an area with a relatively large ledge, making it big enough for several people to sit and lie in. This was already a few kilometers into this area. If they decided to develop this place, this could become a nice hiding spot.

The Elysian Stone was said to be where the Undead was, but...where. Now that they were camping right above the Undead, they were not quite sure where to go to next.
