After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World-Chapter 1844: Next is the Cure

Like the inhibitors, the formula for the vaccine was also released to the partner Cities for a cost. Well, except for Holt, which, according to Zenno’s silent oath, would be given for free. When he explained it to Cauis, the man could only be amazed.

Silent Oaths were interesting things. They just needed one person in the Center, and they’d make a commitment on their own. Of course, the System would only acknowledge it if it didn’t cause harm.

During this month, there were more and more refugees arriving in Alterra. Some had to travel for days in their condition on foot.

These were mostly affected people, too.

Alterra did not keep their progress a secret. They did not spread it purposely, but big news like this would naturally disseminate.

While it could bring about trouble, they also wanted people to know that there was hope and that there was no need for senseless sacrificing of others.

The people who came already knew that inhibitors were already widely used in Alterra, and that the vaccine was already being tested. By the time they arrived, hundreds had already been vaccinated!

People could only be amazed.

There were also inhibitors and the like available in two other cities (Holt and Warrior City), but those were so far away. For this region, everything in this region would be coming from Alterra.

If they waited in their villages, when would they be able to receive these medicines? So, many people, especially those who knew their time was limited, braved through the danger zones and headed to Alterra.

On the other hand, for the people who escorted them and had higher immunity, they were there either to buy some medicine for their family or to get vaccinated themselves.

Alterra also had specialized and huge treatment facilities that made things relatively comfortable for the afflicted, and they wouldn’t be treated so dirty and horribly, unlike others, wherein it felt like they didn’t deserve to be human beings.

Among aborigines who had experienced this before, this was a common feeling, and this was the case even in Ferrol and Basset, where a lot of the visitors were coming from.

After all, one could only treat others well if one had enough resources or knowledge on how to handle things.

It couldn’t be helped that treatment was rough. As long as it wasn’t monstrously inhumane and people weren’t being burned or buried alive, it was already kind enough.

In Alterra, those who had to be quarantined but hadn’t shown symptoms could live as usual in a specific but quarantined part of town. They could still work, with some raw materials delivered, so people could still earn their keep. No one knew how long this would last, and they didn’t want to spend all their savings without earning anything.

The fortunate thing was that the prices of goods had barely increased. They didn’t know how it was done, but when food was delivered and sold, they could still afford them even after so long.

There were Terrans and aborigines alike who traveled here. Many were survivors of the Fire Plague, so they naturally knew sitting in one place in despair, especially after contracting it, was simply a certain way to death.

So they headed out, and their territories didn’t stop them.

There were also some people who had traveled there before or during the event and contracted the disease midway.

For example, there was Yeshiya, someone who visited from Basset town. She was walking around the quarantined zone for the level 1s, or those who had close contact with those showing symptoms.

Those who had taken inhibitors, but not the vaccine (which was still in short stock) were also placed here. Inhibitors functioned to stop further development of the disease.

However, it was not exactly a vaccine because people could still be affected by the disease, even if they were injected with it before getting in contact with the illness. It was just that the disease’s development would be slowed down, giving more time to the victim.

Yeshiya and her people had all bought the inhibitors. Sadly, the others had already shown symptoms, meaning the disease had already taken a step ahead, so she and her companions could only be separated.

Ironically, the afflicted ones were her maids and some of her guards, who were all already in level 2 or 3 and were thus moved in their respective zones, leaving her, their master, alone in this area.

At some point, she felt like she was going to have a fever, which made her so scared. She had wanted to feel that she wasn’t dying, so she opted to buy some food on her own.

Those in level 1 were allowed to go around as needed, but people would constantly monitor their states, to be moved to another zone the moment they showed symptoms. She wanted to purchase things before she exhibited anything, assuming this wasn’t all in her head.

Now, she was literally dragging herself along the pathways. She fell down at some point, but she fell in the park, so the shrubs covered her body.

She was the youngest sister of Yaliya, who had married Umko, who was the nominal Lord of Basset. She was also the aunt of the future Lord of Basset Town, who was about to be born.

She had heard a lot of things about Alterra, and she went here for a long-term vacation.

She was here to find a good husband because she heard the Terran men were very different and were generally good husbands.

She heard that they respect their wives more, and allow them to develop outside of the household, which was unthinkable to many aborigine men, especially noble ones.

Alterra was a town too and had massive potential, so finding a husband here, even a commoner one, would not be at a loss! All she wanted was for a decent-looking man who would treat her well!

Who’d have thought she’d contract the infamous disease on the way there?

SOBS. What about her future husband?!
