After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 871

Night finally arrived and everyone could somehow breathe. Well, especially in Alterra, which didn’t absorb much heat from morning due to the greeneries and it was quite cool in the evening.

In other places, it would still be sweltering because the stones stocked the heat, releasing it at night.

In any case, night time was infinitely better than the day, especially since they didn’t lack lighting so activities could go on full-force again, thereby their economy wouldn’t stagnate much during the next few weeks.

Althea heaved a sigh, kissing her babies’ plump cheeks.

They were now quite active because they slept through the morning. Although no one was used to it, with their endless fanning and her husband’s abuse of his ice ability, she and the babies were definitely much more comfortable than others.

Anyway, now it was dark and the heat dispersed, they had all the energy in the world.

"Mhgamaaaa…"

"Ghurgmamaa…"

She gently touched their soft faces and rubbed their plump tummies, making them giggle. She was so sad to see them so weak in the morning and she was relieved to see them so energetic now.

They had naturally already bathed before during dusk to cool off and wipe down the sweat, so they were all quite refreshed at this time.

The family hung around for a while, with Garan—as always—lifting little Meatball in an attempt to make him float on his own.

The baby would giggle and look like he was swimming while his father’s large hand supported his belly. Sadly, in no instance did he actually end up floating.

It was just a running joke at this point but it was cute so Garan could only continue doing so. Little Pepper and Althea just watched the two boys in amusement, with Little Pepper sucking on her pacifier as if watching a show.

If Ansel was here, he would poke her cheek and whisper, "You think they’re idiots, too, right?"

Heh…

In any case, the two kids soon got a little twitchy and wanted to move. They carried a baby each and went to the balcony to hang out there.

Even from where they were, they could hear the crowds and mumblings outside and they knew pretty much everyone in the territory went out for some fresh air.

"We have thousands of people now, probably a few times more than before our first war," Garan noted, looking at the crowds outside. It was already like this in their street, which wasn’t dense. He could imagine the big crowds in the denser part of the village.

Althea, cooing on Little Pepper, couldn’t help but look at her stats again curiously.
