Chapter 169: Slim (9)
After parking the car in the open space in front of the ranger’s cabin, Everly skillfully climbed in through the window, unlocked the tightly shut door from the inside, and entered the dust-covered cabin together with Misha.
In theory, since this location was part of a horror film that had already concluded, the cabin should have become completely safe after the girls’ lingering spirits dissipated.
However, just to be cautious, Everly and Misha still inspected every room—including the basement—making sure there were no hidden dangers.
That search brought an unexpected surprise—there was a diesel generator in the storage room. The fuel tank was still more than half full, and it was fully functional!
After a bit of effort, they got the generator running and turned on the lights. The dim cabin immediately brightened up, and even charging their phones and other electronic devices was no longer a problem.
Taking advantage of how remote the place was, they kept the lights on and thoroughly cleaned the living room and one bedroom. By dusk, having worked together to tidy up what would be their future residence, the two girls finally had some free time and began preparing dinner in the kitchen with their newly purchased stove.
Worried that the water outside might be contaminated, they used bottled mineral water. Of course, considering that SSU had already spread into the United States for nearly half a year, even mineral water wasn’t guaranteed to be completely safe. So before cooking their instant noodles, they first poured the water into a pot and boiled it. Only after it had been bubbling vigorously for several minutes did they add the noodles, sausages, and other small ingredients.
Most parasites are afraid of high temperatures. Thoroughly cooking food and water at high heat before consuming it can greatly reduce the risk of infection.
After dinner and washing the dishes, the two of them turned on their phones and began catching up on the news online.
