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

Chapter 653 - 653: Some New Alterran Innovation

Another day passed by in Fargo, and the long-awaited replacement team from Alterra has finally arrived. It was Plaridel and Mao leading the team, this time.

Along with them were about 10 more guards, set to be some of the main forces while the local forces were being trained.

The accompanying Alterran guards were not the strongest, but they all had above average potentials and being assigned to lead their own teams should improve their strengths as well as their leadership skills.

Included in this group was the cousins Angelo and Jesse. This mission was basically a shortcut for captainship so no one who were offered the opportunity declined it—no matter how reluctant they were to part with the goodness of Alterra.

They also kinda missed their friend Amos, who had decided to stay for a while.

As for how the soldiers Plaridel and Mao were chosen, Plaridel picked the short stick, while Mao was there to assist with the mining operation.

Of course, this didn't mean he'd mine himself. Rather, he'd use his ability in an attempt to find the weak spots in the caves and therefore find the best places to mine first for efficiency.

Another notable thing about this group was: They arrived on bikes.

The rides were specially outfitted not only to handle the rough terrain but the very fast pedalling speed of level 20s. For this, even the professional equipment makers were tapped.

Now, even if it was through denser forests, it could totally traverse it!

Sprinting without the skill or equipment was something everyone could use after a certain point. It was just that it consumed health and required focus. That was to say, not only would they have low life, they might not be able to defend themselves when a monster, possibly a speed monster, were to eat them for real.

The bike also had a sleek design, and strong appearance, which was just cool in and of itself.

Anyway, it was very impressive and the people of Limestone Valley were in awe.

"These are made for heavy terrain and had the string pedalling force of reinforced bodies!"

"AMAZING!"

"Where can we get one?"

However, the newcomers weren't able to detail anything, as Althea and the others arrived to see them.

They almost saluted when they saw Garan and the general. They excused themselves from the audience and went to talk with them. Before separating though, they yelled at the crowd.

"It's available only in Alterra Village, but it's still expensive, a couple of gold!"

"Can we buy them please!?"

"The bikes are territory property and we're just borrowing it!"

"The bikes are up?" Althea asked as soon as they got near.

They were really surprised with the bikes to be honest, because they weren't ready back then. "Yes, the factories wanted to send these to you."

Mao excitedly told them that the re

"Birds?" Victor asked, "They have non-monstrous birds here?"

"Yes, we found them by accident. They're very fast and small, ideal to becoming messenger birds.

"While we figure out the usual radiowaves and towers, they seem to be a more viable option for now, so we decided to research on this," Althea kindly explained, and the man couldn't help but be flattered.

From what Althea knew, the birds' training had a lot to do with the 'loft' or the birds' abodes. They had the instinct to find their way back to the loft after training, much like how pigeons were trained.

"There's still a lot to study, of course, but I believe we're on the right track."

Victor and the others couldn't help but gape at what they were hearing.

First, it was superior-looking Bikes and now it was messenger birds?

It had only been a few months, right?

What kind of place is Alterra, really?!
