Late Night Benefits

Fortunately, there was already a fire.

Bell slowly dried the clothes.

He took out the lynx meat from his backpack.

As expected, it was also as hard as a brick.

Meat that was frozen to this extent could not be roasted directly on the fire.

Otherwise, even if the outside was burnt, the inside would still be cold raw meat.

The best way now was to let the meat thaw naturally.

This would take one to two hours.

But Bell did not have the time or patience.

He cut the frozen meat into small pieces and placed them in the canteen filled with snow.

In a short while, the water in the canteen became a thick meat soup with the most primitive fragrance.

With food and the warmth of the fire, Bell relaxed.

The nervousness disappeared, and what followed was physical and mental fatigue.

Mixed with hunger and fatigue was pain as well.

But Bell still forced himself to focus.
