After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World-Chapter 1193: More Hires

At this time, Althea was in the Town Center. According to their information (i.e. the Ferrol Journal), the next level would only be available at Town Level 3, and by that time, they could hire up to 5 per day with 10 options.

Today, Althea hired three new aborigines via the Village Center. Although not all aborigines were exemplary choices, she made a point to hire at least 3 every day until she needed to control the population again.

The average level was around level 15 after all, which should slowly increase the level average of Alterra.

She even got one armor maker and another weapon maker among the new hires the past few days, both having signed contracts and were sent to the appropriate departments.

Anyway, she just sent them directly downstairs where the concierge would be waiting to orient them on the territory. The concierge also had an aether letter in there now as well, so they could receive instructions real-time.

Considering new people would be coming in every day, she decided to assign someone to orient them formally without bothering the other hires.

Speaking of aether letters, she had taken it off the shelves in the contribution store for now. Its supply was very limited, especially now that Otto hadn't visited in a few months.

For the first few months after the deal with the Golds, there were various exchanges that had happened. There, they got a few sets for blueprint making, and also a few dozen pairs of aether letters. However, about a month ago, after they sent the hospital blueprints, they hadn't heard from them again.

More often than not, if they had anything to send, they'd send post to Ferrol Town, who would then give it to their base there. So far, they had not received any message from the Golds, and Oslo and Honda were naturally quite worried.

Because of this, Oslo planned to take a day off at the end of the month to check on them.

She had also been studying the arrays there. However, while she isolated a few patterns, she still couldn't figure out how to make it work as a tool.

She also found out that the Visionstone was really good. She could see some basic stats of the territory Resident Alterrans had been to, so she could really see Alterra was far beyond the average of its tier.

The limit was the territory had to be of the same rank and below, so she was blind to territories like Ferrol or Bleulle. At least she could see Basset Town's status.

[Basset Town (Lv1) Population 143034, Prestige 1291]

Basset Town was a relatively young town, upgrading some 10 years ago. Its prestige seemed to be standard for that level.

The closest Towns to Alterra were Ferrol and Basset Town. They had been following both territories, planting sources of information (though this was managed by her husband's intelligence group), to get more in depth knowledge about them, particularly the latter.

They had known Basset Town was hostile, especially considering many of its subsidiaries just attacked them.

The other Towns were very far, at least thrice as far as the other two, and they hadn't heard much about them.

Anyway, she went home and saw the family in the living room preparing for the party the next day. Or more accurately, preparing for the performance.

At this time, most of the adults were lounging in the living room, amusedly watching Ansel with the kids as they practiced.

The coffee table was put aside to give space to the five children—the babies and the big kids—while Ansel was in front of them acting like the leading Kid.

"Are you excited for the party?!"

"YAAA!" Maya yelled with much gusto. Theo did the same, though much more demurely.

Horus nodded reluctantly with a blush on his face, though he did raise his arms when Maya turned to look at him.

Lastly, the babies saw the big sister and big brothers' energies and followed their leads, stretching their little arms as far as they could.

"YAAA!"

"YAAA!"

The babies now had a few baby teeth, and they showed it off in their cheer.

The babies had also graduated from their onesies now (though they still wore them as pajamas) and were now wearing tiny versions of Big Kids clothing.

Meatball was wearing cute shorts and a mini t-shirt with Baby Skunk image in front. He also had adorable sneakers on. They were smaller than a woman's palm. Very cute.

Little Pepper was wearing a cute little frilly dress with a ribbon. Very early on, they determined her very girlie taste which Winona spoiled to no end.

The babies' bums were more pronounced because of the huge diapers (more compact ones under development!), and it made them look even chubbier than they already were.

"Okay kids, practice with me," Ansel chirped, as he turned around, though still standing in front of the five kids.

He then started the weird dance, which started with a light jump up, followed by squatting down. He would then wiggle his bum as he stood up.

"Tententen! wiggle wiggle wiggle,"

The adults couldn't help but gag at this, making Ansel whip his head to glare at them. "SHUT UP! Do you want to be the one teaching here?"

"Nono, you're very handsome," Winona said with a smile, lightly waving her hand to ask him to resume. She was carrying her chubby son on her lap, as if making sure he was watching his father very well.

"Of course I am," Ansel said, with a face saying 'good that you know'. He then turned to the children again and—with a serious expression—said "Now, we do it again!"

The bigger kids had no problem following (except for Horus, who was red as an apple), while the babies just jumped up or down or wiggle without timing.

Theo was particularly patient in teaching the little girl how to do their steps. "Jump wup Peppah, and down… uh-huh… nono… then wiggle…"

Regardless, they were all very adorable.

At some point though, the aether letter in Garan's space heated up. With a raised eyebrow, he opened it to see the contents. Reading what was inside, he sighed.

The others were too busy giggling to notice, but Althea was right next to him.

"What is it?" she asked and he handed her the letter instead.

She blinked.

"So… they're finally attacking, eh?"
