After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2094

Chapter 2094: Quo Town (Part 1)

At the right elevation near this town, one could already see the orcspine mountains.

As they trekked through the woods, fought monsters, camped, and so on, Althea couldn’t help but look out and stare at the mountain range every so often.

She couldn’t help it. It was really a unique mountain range.

The mountain was definitely natural, though its appearance was so smooth that it seemed like someone had carved the surface and smoothened them out.

Its mass was also really expansive. Once you see it, you wouldn’t be able to see either end unless you were at the end.

From certain angles, it was akin to a giant wall that was so steep it looked like one had to literally ’climb up’ the mountain to go through.

Its peak reached the clouds; climbing that way would’ve been very difficult, even for powerhouses. There also seemed to be a lot of flying monsters there. From where she was, even with the binoculars, they looked like a group of fruit flies.

Anyway, all these made her curious about how large groups of orcs crossed through that mountain to mesh with the human territory.

"From what I understood, it seems like there is an initial batch of orcs that passed through the mountains," she said. "Or do they come over often?"

That was to say, was there an open channel because—if there was—they did not know where it was.

"No idea. I thought you’d have to climb up or something."

"...okay, then how would we go up?" Althea asked, looking at the steep and smooth slopes that reached to the sky.

"We don’t know either."

Althea: "..."

Athea rubbed her temple.

Garan, the dutiful husband, held her hand and did it for her.

Virion: "..."

"Maybe we’d get more information in Quo Town," he said, sighing, suddenly very tired.

Regardless of the trouble, Quo was the town closest to the mountain, and their best chance of finding out what to do next.

She couldn’t help but look at their own map of the area, which was just an overview with not much detail.

From here, one could see the entire eastern edge was pretty much separated from their side with this mountain, and then one could also see the longitudinally central area where Quo Town was, which was also where the orc villages were concentrated.

This meant that, if there was an entrance somewhere, it would be on this part. Even if they had no idea where exactly it was in the span of hundreds of kilometers, they at least had a starting point for where to look.

Through the years, more and more vagrant orcs settled down in the region. Currently, Quo Town could be called the central hub for orcs in the area.

The trio arrived at the borders of Quo Town a day later. This time, Althea and Garan were not planning to use their masking token.

Virion knew the local Lord, and if there was an inconsistency between information, then there would be questions. Anyway, there was no need to hide their real identities this time.

Again, it wasn’t that they did not trust Virion. The masking token was just something that had to be on a strictly need-to-know basis for everyone’s sake.

As they approached the distant walls, the group observed first the town’s notable surrounding area.

Quo Town was already a newly-upgraded level 3 village before it was taken over by orcs so it already had max-level village buildings. They also had special buildings like the barracks and so on. Sadly, it had grown stagnant since it was taken over.

As for how Quo Town was occupied by outsiders, Virion said that it was partly due to bad luck, though an inevitable one. (They got history lessons here and there; the guy was chatty around people he liked).
