After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World-Chapter 1211: Vanessa’s Despair

Stab!!

"RAFFYY!!!"

"HEYY!!"

"STOP IT!"

The nearby patients and nurses ran to them to pull them back, but they were stronger than they looked and the suddenness of everything caught everyone off-guard.

Fortunately, the guards appeared a second later and took the three of them down. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done.

"Is he alright?!" the patients yelled as they saw Raffy bleeding from multiple stab wounds. The nurses hurriedly went to perform some first aid, and then they glared at Vanessa who was just gaping in shock.

"Miss Vanessa!!"

"A-AH yes—" she mumbled, shakingly kneeling down next to him.

She was shivering in a mix of shock, fear, and shame, and it caused her ability to be inefficient. Her remaining mana drained and all she managed to do was slow down the bleeding.

"What's going on?" A booming voice asked and the people made way.

It was Henry.

He had a few wounds on his body and went to the hospital to get some extra bandages to handle his own wounds, as well as some of his teammates' with minor wounds. He was not expecting to come to a crime scene, instead.

"The 28-hour war isn't over yet, so they took advantage of that. They were apparently Inko slaves who pretended to be locals," the guard said, a solemn expression on his face.

"It was the last order to them before the 'masters' were taken care of, so they followed it to death." They looked at the Terrans who were taken down.

They only figured it out when the men refused to behave after being caught, and only then did they realize they were actually slaves. There were sadly no indicators of it, even in the Lord Panel. They were simply numbers in the population list like everybody else.

This was why, although there was no need to use lethal force, when they saw their expression, they chose to kill them.

Slaves' expressions were not controlled so if they were forced to do this, their expressions could've given their plans away. They would only be unable to control their bodies, but they could express warning in some other way if they wanted to.

But they didn't, and their expression when caught were not of remorse, but of regret that they did not finish the job.

Inko must've promised them a lot of things, things they did not care to know, so they just got rid of the pests so they didn't waste any more air.

Henry looked at his daughter, and then at the bleeding man on the ground, sighing. This was his oversight. Although there were so many things they had planned out, some things were still missed it seemed. He had no excuses.

"We may have to send him to Alterra…" he said, looking at his pale daughter. "But you have to heal him a bit more to ensure his survival during travel."

"My mana is gone," Vanessa said, holding back tears. "I n-need to get some more from my room."

She ran to her office, not waiting for others to offer to get it for her.

As soon as the door closed, her knees gave way. Shaking, she lifted her arms and looked at the literal blood on her hands. Finally, she burst to tears.

…

"My, my…" a deep voice echoed in the room and it made Vanessa's heart stop cold, her tears seeming to freeze. She was not expecting someone to be there.

She whipped her head up and her eyes constricted. Standing leisurely at the corner was a tall man with a robe and a deformed face—definitely not someone she knew.

"When did you—"

Before she could scream, he appeared right in front of her, forcefully covering her mouth, the suddenness made the back of her head bump into the wall behind her.

She felt dizzy, but she was a soldier in the end. Knowing she was in danger, she pushed her shock down and gestured to fight him, but he easily caught her hit.

He held her hands above her head and she couldn't do anything about it!

He was so strong! Way beyond the level cap!

"Such a beautiful healer…" he said, his voice raspy and it creeped her out so much.

"The master would love to have you."

She felt her heart stop as deep dread came over her.

He gave a disturbing smirk. His breath was horrible and his teeth were disgustingly yellow.

He then lifted his hand a little so her lips were freed from his palm, but were squeezed at the same time. This way she could talk, but the moment she decided to call on others he could easily crush her entire jaw.

Vanessa's heart beat fast, terrified of what could happen. She looked helplessly at the man, trying to soften him up a bit at least, no matter how much her stomach tumbled. "Why... what do you want with me?"

"Belize, he is an old friend," he said and her eyes widened a bit. 1

"I heard a lot of interesting things had happened. It is not yet time to make a move, but I sure am shocked to find he fell in this little village."

He smiled, lifting her up. "For now, I'll take you as a bonus hostage."

Then take that woman! Take Althea!! She was the one who killed him!

She wanted to yell that woman's name. However, nothing came out of her mouth!

It was then she remembered: When she was banished from Alterra, she was forced to make an oath prohibiting her from uttering or expressing anything related to Alterra, especially anything about its Elders! She wasn't even allowed to say its name!

Bitch! She was going to get kidnapped for something she had done! Curse her!!

It was around here that the doorknob turned, making her flinch, eyes wide as she stared at the unopened door.

Knock, Knock

"Miss Vanessa? Why is the door locked?" the voice said. Vanessa recognized it as one of the nurses. "Can you please come down now? Someone got a mana potion for you."

Help Me! She wanted to yell out, but it was too late. A moment later, she was taken out the window—never to be seen again.
