At seven in the morning, Blood Meng walked from the inner quarters to the campfire and sat down on a worn wooden chair. She reached over to the base's water supply to fill a cup, poured the water into an iron pot, and added two sticks of firewood to the campfire to start boiling the water. The base's water supply was a system benefit that provided players with a certain amount of clean water. It wasn't enough for taking baths or watering plants, but it was sufficient to make a couple of cups of tea and coffee. However, this benefit would also be canceled in the summer.
The temporary base's sentry post was at the back door. Nightmare finished his shift at the sentry post, went to the living room, put a teabag into his thermos, and after Blood Meng poured in boiling water, they chatted idly. Nightmare came out of the inner quarters, walked out of the base, stood at the edge of the base's safe zone to stretch and loosen his limbs, and turned his head to survey the surroundings.
