After Surviving The Apocalypse, I Built A City In Another World

24 Hours

Nanny's neck turned at an indescribable angle the moment she opened the door, the eyes that used to look at her with love and warmth now didn't have anything. No emotions, no anger, no love, no life.

This wasn't her nanny anymore.

Althea was in a daze for a while, her tears flowing, and even when she saw the creature walk to her directly in staggered steps she couldn't move at all. It was only until the creature was only an arm's length away that she finally got back to her senses and her body moved by instinct, hitting the creature with the metallic broomstick.

Bang!

The body fell, the neck turning 180 degrees. She watched as the body twitched weakly, and she almost wanted to go to check up on her.

But the head turned back at an angle and the familiar-unfamiliar lifeless eyes stared at her hungrily. Without bothering to bend back its legs, it dragged itself in her direction, opening its mouth in hopes of getting her meat.

She didn't even have the time to mourn the loss of another loved one, her body moved on its own, grabbed the metal shaft and hit the head with all her strength, to stop her Nanny's body from being soiled any further.

[+5 experience, +5 copper coins]

[Ding!]

She flinched at the sudden sound, looking around for its source.

[Congratulations, Terranian, for activating the Universe Assistance System]

She could not even give a response.

[Your planet XZ8912, locally known as Terran, is the only planet in the G239 and U834 galaxies to have intelligent civilizations. It was therefore judged to be an important endangered planet by the Universe.

Galaxies G239 and U834 will be deemed inhabitable in less than 25 hours due to the current condition of its central star.

In less than 24 hours, to preserve remaining life, all surviving indigenous creatures will be immigrated to the Great Continent of Xeno.

Please note that items in the system-provided backpack can be taken with you.]

To be honest, Althea and her big brain could not really understand what the mechanical voice was saying. "What is Xeno?" She asked, but there was no response.

"What are you talking about? Migration? What do you mean the planet will perish?"

Still no answer.

She frowned, eyes ending up on the woman who had just made her favorite dessert a few hours prior. She took a deep breath in an attempt to stop her tears, to keep her words coherent. "Tell me, please: Why did she become like this?"

None.

Well, this was obviously one of those one-way no-reply messages...

She shook her head and stared at the body, for a while not knowing what to do.

She looked at the screen that appeared in front of her, following wherever she was looking, like that holographic screen that was just launched a few months ago. On the bottom left there was a logo of a backpack, an icon of a head, and a logo of a sword. On the top right, there is a moving counter currently showing [23:45:03].

She remembered that in 24 hours, a so-called migration will happen, and surmised the counter was in relation to that. She then looked at the backpack icon and clicked on it. A virtual box appeared in front of her, floating. It was around 1 cubic meter in size.

"All items in the 'backpack' will be taken with you." She mumbled as she absentmindedly looked at the phone and the shaft, wondering how she could test this backpack space.
