After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1413

Chapter 1413: Exploring Hot Springs

While there were differences, there were also similarities. For example, like the Bathhouse, there were different entrances for male and female patrons.

The difference was that there was a middle door, where people of both sexes could join. The aborigines were startled (more like aghast) by this, but many Terrans had experienced this before and didn’t mind.

Anyway, through any of the doors, they were led to a locker area and a shower area where they were expected to shed their things and cleanse themselves before entering the public baths.

After this, they’d go past a door covered by breathable linen curtains that loosely separated the inside from the outside. They only had to go through it to get to the next area, and they’d be greeted by the dreamy sight of pools, rocks, and vegetation layered by a gentle mist.

The hot spring design was meshed with nature and some parts didn’t even feel like it was man-made. The one in the entrance was the biggest pool, with another shower area with seating at the side, where people could cleanse, wash off, scrub, and the like.

It was pretty big with a seamless design as if it had been carved out naturally. It was surrounded by vegetation that added to the unique scent and feel of the place.

At night, there were also some bioluminescent stones—ones found near the salt mines—under the pools, creating an ethereal effect at night.

There were seating areas of stones and varying depth of the pool. Some just dipped their toes while some headed inside with their whole bodies.

As they sank deeper, they felt the warmth seep deep into their bones, melting the tension away. They moaned gently as their backs touched the warm stones, allowing the mineral-rich stones to caress their skins.

There were quite a few people there already, some were in groups, but they were talking in a slower pace, but otherwise they just quietly spent time together.

Other than the largest one, there were also plenty of smaller pools. They were of various sizes, with the smallest ones just big enough for three people.

They had plenty of pools they could choose according to their needs and it was wonderful. Interestingly, some of the springs were partially hidden and people had to walk along paths of nature to get to them. It was as if they were discovering the bits of heaven themselves.

Some of the more adventurous ones were the aborigine women who went to explore before dipping in. They found one after going deeper into the curated forest. The paths were paved, and one of the paths ended up on a seemingly vine-covered wall.

However, they knew it was not a dead end; otherwise, there would be no path, and sure enough, when Olga touched the wall of vines out of curiosity, they realized people could really head inside.

They entered and found a beautiful pool good for about five to six people there. It was obviously designed for a bit of privacy.

"Ah... how nice..." Olga mumbled as she laid down. Cassandra, Hilda, and the other ladies joined in, creating a wonderful feminine sight worthy of nosebleeds.

"Alterra just never seemed to stop impressing me," Hilda said, her eyes closed as she felt the steam rising from the waters.

Beneath the surface, water bubbled gently from underground vents, and the inflow of warm water kept the temperature consistently warm.

"Ah, it makes me feel like I can just forget everything for a while."

And when they opened their eyes again, it would feel like their very souls were refreshed!
