With the water source temporarily secured, Lu Li shifted his attention to other matters.
There were plenty of dry firewood in the forest, hardly scarce; the surface moisture could be dried off for sufficient burning.
Lu Li picked up some branches as thick as fingers and pulled some dry weeds to use as tinder, brought them back outside Windbreak Point, and spread them on the dry sandy beach to dissipate as much moisture as possible.
While waiting, Lu Li arranged the stones he had collected around the edge of Windbreak Point into a circle, building a small fire the size of a human head. He took the half-buried can in the sand, shook off the grit, and began puncturing an opening with the sharp edge of a rock.
Hiss—
The sound of air rushing in came from the gap, the can bulging slightly more than before.
Using a shard, he chipped along the opening, creating a semi-circular edge, and pried the lid open.
The can's liquid had evaporated to half, revealing mushy meat chunks and beans.
