After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1771

Chapter 1771: More Move Ins

Suffice it to say, the overreacting one became her, and she ran around and hurriedly finished everything, hastening her day off, which was supposed to be in two days, to happen immediately within the same day.

At present, the two were now hugging each other and looking out the window of their new home.

"I remember being shocked to see my name there," she said, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the view. "Though since I was heading here anyway, we would’ve found each other."

Houser chuckled. "A few days earlier is welcome," he said, embracing her tightly.

He did think it would have been funny if she had sent that post, only to find out he was also there.

Maybe they’d have encountered each other in the Post office. Who knew? He was glad they saved time and money, though.

They had mutually decided to separate for two years and headed to villages in order to save up and build their lives and their savings. (They sadly could not decide where they would be hired, so they entered the chancery with expectations that they would really be separated).

Towns were a bit too competitive for them, and the cost of living was too high for their levels and skill set, so they knew they couldn’t start a family with the way they were going.

Not to mention the people were strong, so it was difficult to get decent jobs, and they would be powerless if they got bullied. In villages, although the salary was a bit lower, they were safer, and they had more power and say.

They could also save up more in villages, since the items were cheaper, even if they were lower quality. Their levels would also grow stagnant, and their wallets would not grow through mobs, but at least they would be safe.

So when Houser found Alterra, who guaranteed his safety, but also grew fast enough that the monsters attracted could also give him gains, he felt extremely lucky, and he wished he had set the timeline of reunion to one year instead of two.

Well, now it was okay. Although their reconciliation still took nearly two years, they had already settled down, with their own house, by the time the set schedule actually landed.

The territory sponsored the accommodation for the Chancery hires, and they also had the same benefits as the temporary residents, but as soon as they bought their own residences with the points they earned, they could also buy their own things and get good loans as well.

Houser had long paid the down payment for a unit, though he had to wait for the expansion to be able to move in. It was a two-bedroom unit; he hoped to have one for their future child.

He smiled. Two years ago, he had worried so much about the future. Now, he was looking forward to it.

...

There were also plenty of Terran families moving into the new houses; some of them were newfound family members of Alterrans.

At this time, Plaridel was showing his family to their new abode, which was a four-bedroom penthouse unit in one of the mid-rise buildings there.

As long as they paid in advance, the building could be modified early on, and a wall was removed to combine two units.

Guiding the family with him was none other than Nida, his girlfriend, and his family was way too happy to tease them.

"So when are you getting married?"

"Mother. We hadn’t been dating for long."

He hailed from a family of soldiers, but this world had been too dangerous, and he had seen many skilled individuals die out. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

And considering all their mistakes and stuff that made their atonement points higher, rather than lower, it was clear they wouldn’t get out any time soon.

Sadly, the soft-hearted Amos had once visited them (he still remained stationed at Limestone). He probably hoped that they would show remorse and apologize so they could be family again. He could not get them out of their predicament (it was illegal), but he could at least attempt to help them build a life afterwards.

Instead, they jumped on him and begged him to help. When he explained that he had no power to do so, they cursed him for not being able to protect them.

It was said that the boy was sad for days after that. He almost got injured in a mob that should’ve been easy for him to deal with.

Fortunately, he did snap out of it, and they could tell he wouldn’t bother visiting them again.

That said, Garan also implemented special benefits for families of guards, at least if the guards chose to do so.

If they didn’t have families, hadn’t found them yet, or did not like them, then they could choose to either withhold and just withdraw them when they made or found their families.

For every 100 contribution points a guard earned, a bonus of 1 point would be added to a beneficiary of choice.

There would be surprise observations too to make sure the beneficiary deserved it. It could be removed at any time if someone reported transgressions, which would be confirmed on a later date.

This would encourage these members to take care of the soldiers’ home life, so their domestic problems would be controlled.

Domestic was a person’s home and their resting place. Who would want to go home to another battlefield?
