Chapter 236: Battle Royale • Wilderness Survival (3)
As expected, when you’re hungry, anything tastes delicious.
Even though some of the bird eggs had cracked when they fell from the tree, and some had partially hatched with embryonic chicks already visible inside—looking somewhat disturbing—Everly was simply too hungry. After convincing herself that they were “balut” (fertilized eggs), she still devoured the precious source of protein completely.
After eating, Misha still hadn’t returned.
Everly felt a bit worried, but she also knew there was nothing she could do. She could only comfort herself with the thought that, given Misha’s caution and skill, combined with that valuable radar device, the chance of anything going wrong was almost zero.
She poured out the water in the pot, placed Misha’s portion of food inside to keep it warm, and leaned against a rock to wait. While waiting, perhaps because she had been exhausted the night before, Everly fell asleep directly.
When she woke again, it was around 2 p.m.
Misha came back excitedly with a backpack full of supplies. Seeing Everly asleep, she deliberately lightened her steps, but Everly had remained alert to her surroundings the whole time—at the slightest disturbance, she immediately opened her eyes.
Recognizing that it was Misha, Everly relaxed instantly, leaning back against the stone wall and closing her eyes to rest for a moment. Once her mind had fully cleared, she moved over to Misha’s side to check the haul from the trip.
Judging from the number of “loot boxes,” Misha had visited a total of four supply points that morning.
