After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2088

Chapter 2088: Chaos in the Plaza

Before Althea could decide what to do next, several guards ran to their leaders.

The sight was actually quite fascinating. Orcs were practically half animals, and many of them, when dashing, ran on all fours, and they needed to move at their fastest.

For several types, such as the cheetahs and tigers, they could even be faster than humans more than ten levels above them.

"The women! Ill!" they yelled. "VERY SICK!"

Althea’s eyebrows rose. It seemed that the women had already been discovered. It was sooner than she would’ve liked, but what was Althea if she couldn’t adjust her plans accordingly?

She saw the crowd and took this chance to get the word out to as many people as possible. She also had to put in a lot of disclaimers.

It wouldn’t do if they decided to kill the women because they looked unwell, right?

It was one of the reasons she was going around. She wanted to spread out how to handle the illness properly. Alas, one could plan all she wanted, but the world might not wait for her to execute it.

From below her feet, a pool of water started to form. They continued to control the flow in certain directions as if following a certain slope.

She chose the location of the puddles well, ensuring it could help her words reach more people without betraying her own location.

One could use water to create a sound amplifier or even reflect it in a way that it would seem like it could come from someplace else. This effect was called the acoustic reflection.

In normal cases, doing this perfectly wasn’t that straightforward. But who told her to be a water user with fast calculation capabilities?

Hiding at a corner, she leaned down at an angle while controlling the pond’s curvature, and yelled. "The women are ill! Throw them out! Throw them out!"

Slightly changing her voice, she changed the curvature by a few millimeters, and spoke again. "I saw it, I saw it! I heard about that before. If killed, the disease will spread all over! I heard when they killed one, the entire village got infected!

"AHHH! It is better to throw them out and let monsters eat them!"

The crowd heard it and their blood turned cold.

"What?"

"That is terrifying!"

"Get rid of them!"

The crowd was tense, and it was difficult to figure out where the voices came from. At the same time, the content was also very heavy, and at some point, they no longer cared who was speaking.

"It affects humans, not sure about orcs, but I won’t risk it!"

Then she heard something interesting from a pair of guards, whispering among themselves.

"Could it be nature’s anger?"

"Since we—"

"Hush!"

Althea looked at the priest, wondering what he’d do. She was nervous he’d see through the ruse. However, with the masses calling for the women to be thrown out, would he risk trying to keep them for investigation?

Flop!
