After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1572

Chapter 1572: Rescues and Kidnappings (Part 1)

BANG!

BANG!

"What??"

"Explosions!"

"Bombs! It’s an attack!!!"

"AHHHH! RUNNN!!"

Chaos quickly descended on the feast, the crowd immediately running in various directions. Desperately, they ran away from where there was perceived damage.

There were some fires, particularly in the woods. This was followed by heavy purple smoke that quickly spread around, making people cough and get dizzy, and many lost their balance.

Those who were below level 20 even outright fainted.

Some even fell down and even bubbled in their mouths!!

"Is the smoke... poisoned?!" they gasped, squealing, but most were quick to cover their mouths and noses as they ran. No one bothered with those people unless they were close friends, which was fairly rare. For the most part, these people were just stepped over or even stepped on.

Many people didn’t breathe, thinking they should be able to leave the large villa without breathing, considering their levels. It was just that... even those who had stopped breathing were still affected!

More and more people fell down, mouths bubbling, casting terror in people’s hearts.

Things got scarier when some other people—who were way higher level than 20—started acting groggy, until the same thing happened to them!

"That guy is level 32! How could poison affect him so easily?!"

"Run!"

"Ahhh!"

Even those past level 30 felt panic grip their hearts. Since they had passed the ’average’ level back then, there had been very few cases they had felt afraid. The only exception was when facing people like the Lord, who were far stronger than they were.

There was simply not much that could threaten them past level 35.

But what was this now!?

"Orcshit! Let’s get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Get out of my way!!"

Worse, a few more ’boom’ sounds resounded—nobody noticed if they were even actually explosions anymore—people panicked even more.

Boom!

Bang!

"Wha–"

"It isn’t over?!"

"GET AWAY!"

This indicated that there were more hidden ’bombs’ elsewhere. Who knew where the next ones would explode?!

High-level ones didn’t even bother to check the cause of the commotion; they just jumped out to safety. Who could blame them? This wasn’t even their house. Why would they bother?

Even the Lord and the people inside unexpectedly reacted slowly for some reason.

"Why are the Lord and the others not here yet? Was this caused by them?" Someone (Veronica) asked with a modified voice amongst the crowd.

They weren’t really expecting a frame-up to succeed, but it sure was a welcome misdirect.

Her words gripped people’s hearts. Few believed it, but this still planted some guardedness in their already terror-stricken hearts.

"Dwarf god’s must be angry with us!" a voice yelled. The voice itself was unfamiliar, but he knew that it was a signal to him.

Kalfene’s feet stopped, causing a blockage, and angering the people behind.

"Hey!"

"Get out of the way!!"

He was pushed around and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, his level was decent, and the others were also weakened by the smoke.

"Here! Kahonn! Sleuth!!" He yelled at his companions, who grabbed each other, pushing themselves through the crowd and against the walls.

Kahonn looked confused. They ended up in an awkward corner that was in the path of the crowd. If they took a step back, they’d be carried away by the crowd. "Why are we here?"

Kalfene looked around. He wasn’t sure why either.

Suddenly, they felt hands on their shoulders.

"Let’s go to the carriage! Escape the dwarf gods wrath!"

The three toolmakers were a little confused.

They looked at the unfamiliar men acting overly familiarly with them, but they found themselves literally going with the flow anyway.

Kalfene was disappointed that he didn’t know them at all. While he understood that Otto couldn’t be here himself, it still cast a few doubts.

But then the person who grabbed him grinned reassuringly. "The priest of the dwarf god awaits us."

He blinked. As they were led to the Beast Cart area, each one with an arm gripping their shoulders, an idea soon dawned on them.

Did these people actually cause this chaos?!
