Walking up to the lake, Lin slowly assessed its size. The lake itself wasn't large; it was about the size of a volleyball court, with severe distortions in the corners, creating uneven terrain. Lin paid no attention to that—he simply knelt and touched the water.
"It feels pretty normal..." Lin scooped some into his hand and brought it to his nose to check for any strange odor.
There was no unusual smell coming from the water. Lin nodded and took a small sip to test the taste. Though it was quite dangerous, what choice did he have? He didn't have any other supplies, and thirst was slowly catching up to him — if he didn't try the water now, he might not get another chance later.
After taking a sip, Lin slowly closed his eyes and felt the fresh, cold, clean water spread through his mouth. The once dry and coarse areas of his mouth, caused by dehydration, were quickly refreshed and revitalized.
