After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1619

Chapter 1619: Terran Survivor #001

Just the thought made his heart heavy, his body trembling in unimaginable pain.

The contrast of the happy times and his current horrible state made the pain even more pronounced and unbearable.

I want to die... I want to die...

When the disaster happened, he was on a long-awaited vacation with his wife and young son—they conceived very late in life—in another country.

They had been looking forward to it and he had always wanted to make it up to them due to his frequent absences back when he was a soldier.

His wife had always been patient with him, and frankly other than providing her basic needs, he felt like he failed as a husband for neglecting her so much.

He was always on missions and that was one of the reasons why they had a child so late, already in her 40s.

His beautiful Amelia wanted to have children long ago. In the few times he was with her, he saw how her sights would always follow children with warm, doting eyes.

One day, in their 40s, they finally bore fruit. His name was Aldrich. The child was a carbon copy of him, though he inherited his mother’s beautiful blue eyes.

However, giving birth at that age had its risks, and his son didn’t turn out like his peers.

He had a disability that affected his mind, and this meant he’d be forever in their care.

Neither of them minded of course, they loved him with their whole hearts, anyway.

He retired relatively young and as soon as he was allowed to do so, with the goal of spending the rest of his days with family. It was a long process. He was a general, after all, and there were a great amount of things he had to stabilize before the country let him go.

Within a year of his retirement, they finally went on a vacation he had delayed for a long time.

When the Change swept the globe, he and his family—he, his wife, their son, and their dog—were in a foreign resort. When most people fainted out of nowhere, he knew something was odd and, instead of helping the fainted, he secured his family instead.

When he saw them twitching oddly, he quickly grabbed his wife and son, pushing them to the bar counter and he jumped over it. He got knives and whatever weapon they could use, equipping his family, too.

Things happened swiftly after that. Suddenly, the people who fainted transformed to flesh-eating beasts, lunging at whoever was nearest to them.

ROAAAARRR!

"AHHHH!"

"HELPPP!"

One of the beasts nearby lunged at them as well, but Gideon’s body moved on its own.

His instincts immediately worked, and he used his training to hack the head off the monster in a single swipe.
