The snow in the yard was simply too deep. Getting out wasn't a problem for now, but he wasn't sure how easy it would be to get back.
To be on the safe side, he decided to postpone his trip to the river and started shoveling the snow in the yard with his Engineer Shovel.
He tossed the thick top layer of snow into the parachute to serve as a backup water source, prioritizing clearing paths in front of and behind the shelter. He left the rest for now.
"Life is so unpredictable. Just two days ago, I was worried about water, and now I have more than I can use."
Gazing at the snow that had quickly piled up like a small mountain in the parachute, Lin Chen wiped the non-existent sweat from his brow. He could feel the blood in his veins starting to hum with energy.
'If it weren't so cold, my clothes would probably be soaked with sweat already, wouldn't they?'
He left the shelter and had a hard time getting his bearings, but he headed toward the river, following the route from memory.
