After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1587

Chapter 1587: Escapees Landing

A few days later, the Gold’s party finally reached the Alterra region. Specifically, it’s black bitumen road.

Kalfene and the others felt imbalanced because the movements of the carriage were suddenly... smooth.

The change from the hours and hours of their brains rocking in their skulls to... stability was naturally a bit jarring.

"Is the Town in sight?"

"No, there should still be several minutes before it is visible, even by a beast cart."

This puzzled them a bit. At their current pace, half an hour by beast car meant that they were still several kilometers away!

Sleuth happened to be the one by the window today, and he slid the curtain to the side to see what was going on. He slightly looked out and didn’t move anymore.

"Hey, what is it?" the others asked curiously, but sadly, they were too squeezed in to take a look.

"What happened? Why did the travel change so much?"

Sleuth did not answer and just continued staring outside.

"Hey! Why isn’t he answering?" Kahonn asked, thinking the guy was even ruder than usual.

Obi, who was sitting across from Sleuth, looked over and smirked when he realized what was going on. "He’s using a voice blocker, quite the small one, too."

"..."

Sleuth famously abhorred noise, so they hadn’t really spoken to him much unless they were camping. In retrospect, while in the carriage, the only time he spoke was at the start, when they were catching up. He didn’t react to any other conversations.

For much of their trip, he had his eyes closed as if asleep or meditating, completely unbothered by their chatters, which had been uncharacteristic of him. Now, they knew how.

Apparently, he was using a miniature voice blocker—one that had a very small scope and fit only one person.

This was quite an interesting thing because it wasn’t commercially available yet. Did he not release that he could do this? Then again, he might be the only one who’d find this useful. After all, this world was too dangerous, and losing one of the senses was akin to putting oneself in danger.

In that case, Sleuth must also trust them all very much. Hey, it was quite touching if one thought of it that way...

Anyway, seeing as he wasn’t going to answer, Marcus, who was also across from him, squirmed forward a bit to take a look.

The ground where the carriage was running was no longer the forest floors covered with rocks, uneven ground, and roots.

Instead, it was covered with a black flat surface that was relatively leveled despite going through such a dense forest.

"A road..." he mumbled.

"Oh?" Kalfene blinked. "This far away?"

Kahonn nodded, wondering which window was closest to him. "How curious—"
