After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World
Chapter 1351 - 1351: Recoveries

There was also a different type of mourning happening in the Gaea Villa.

Fortunately, it was just Ansel mourning for Althea's garden.

Some of the enemies targeted the Villa areas during the war. When they realized that none of the Elders were there, they decided to destroy what they could to vent.

Fortunately, the guards found them relatively quickly so the damage wasn't too bad. It was just that they targeted Althea's exposed fields, and at least half of them was ruined.

One was even a fire elementalist and he burned a lot of plants, those jerks!

Seeing her brother on the verge of tears as if every fire user's damage was his fault, Althea patted his red head.

"Silly, don't you know ashes are good for the growth of plants?"

This calmed Ansel down a bit, and then he looked at the rest of the family. He curled up his long sleeves and showed off his sinewed arms.

"Well, then… Let's go fix this!"

…

Half an hour later, the repair works went into full swing.

Althea—now changed into gardening clothes—was replanting some of her trees. Some of these were seedlings that came from the greenhouses and were just ready for replanting.

Ansel and the other team members helped out, including the children. The adults would do the digging or clearing of the place, while the kids would bring the seeds and seedlings to them.

"Mwammaaa… hewe…" Little Pepper toddled over to bring random seeds to her mother. Little Meatball followed closely behind her.

"Mwamaa… dis doo…"

They were very proud to show the small seeds in their tiny palms.

Althea and the others chuckled at this. "Aww, thank you, my good babies," she said, giving them both smooches on the face.

They giggled, running with their tiny feet back to the seedling area. They naturally didn't know much about handling plants but, fortunately, Horus was there to arrange the seedlings and seeds, making sure the babies weren't damaging them by accident when they took them.

This went on for a few more rounds until the audience (who were there as moral support) could no longer take the cuteness. "Good job babies! Now, come here!" Winona yelled, waving at them.

The women who had just given birth were watching at the side with their infants. They were mostly seated down on comfortable chairs, though they'd be handing the 'workers' some drinks, towels, or even feed snacks as needed.

Of course, the babies were no exemption. They were ambulatory though so every few rounds, they went to this side to be fed a few snacks.

The babies were having fun with their errands, but then they saw the newly-delivered cotton candy on Winona's hands, and it was clear they had already moved on from this task.

"Waoww!" Little Pepper mumbled cutely, her blue eyes sparkling, as she quickly toddled to Winona. Her little brother, whose green eyes had long fixed on the treat, ran even faster.

"Foood! Fooodddd! Huff, huff, huff"

Anyway, the team took a good part of the day to replant everything, or at least put the new plants for experiments.

..

All over the territory, and not just in the villa, repairs were at its peak.

The manual buildings had to be repaired by hand, while the system ones just needed some resources. Fortunately, even if the cost was a lot, her earnings still increased by virtue of the spendings of the newer citizens and the celebratory spending of the older ones.

The guests who contributed in the war had also received their respective contributon points, and most of them went straight to either the library or the Contribution store. One battle could only give so much, but they wanted to see what they could buy with them, regardless.

Among those who went to the library was Sipa from Rolan Mercenary Team, who was reading some basics about fashion books. Although he was an archer mercenary, he could see the potential in this industry and he was planning to propose a bit more investment on this area.

There were also the Golds there, seated in separate tables, chairs, or bean bags. This included Zaol, who just poured over the books.

One had to note that the aborigines only had access to the lower floors of the library. It contained the most basics of books, yet they were all acting like it was the most enlightening thing.

Perhaps it was, and they would never cease to be amazed by the fact that the Alterrans just shared these with them, accessible to so many people.

In the Contribution Store, there was a long queue of citizens and visitors alike. After all, while the Contribution Points from the war were distributed at the same time, the supply for the good things was limited. Everyone wanted to get there first to get what they wanted.

It so happened that a few Protection Charms had also been made available, and those were swept up as soon as they entered the shelves. There were also special potions released by the Research Center, but those were also swept away very quickly.

Bart, who was literally a few people behind the last one, couldn't help but feel depressed.

He then looked at the remaining choices and saw that only Class D equipment was the only available one he could afford. His eyes were fixed on the Superior Poison sold in a special container at the back.

According to the description, it could damage level 40 beasts! It was too good! The price was also beautiful, and despite handling an entire sector during the war, he was still lacking quite a bit of points before he could afford it.

Should he hunt a few more mobs?
