Chapter 653: Night in the Forest
As she ventured a few steps further, towering trees surrounded her, their broad leaves creating a lush greenery even in the midst of this cold winter.
She soon found herself sweating profusely, not due to exertion, but because the forest floor, still moist from yesterday's rain, caused each step to sink deep into the muddy ground.
Navigating through this terrain was slow-going, taking her about ten minutes to cover just a few hundred meters. Suddenly, an unexpected crunch beneath her foot revealed a hidden swamp beneath a bed of dry leaves.
As she recoiled, white bubbles emerged, accompanied by wisps of white mist and a swarm of wriggling black insects.
Her merciless step had inadvertently claimed several lives, leaving her with a sickening feeling in her gut. Fearing the potential presence of alligators and pythons lurking beneath the water's surface, she began to navigate the swamp, using a branch to slap the water as she made her way forward.
Fortunately, Onistead's climate fell into the subtropical continental monsoon category, which meant that the temperature did not rise significantly even in summer, sparing the swamp from alligators. Most snakes were also in hibernation.
Her only immediate concern was the bone-chilling cold of the winter water, which even multiple layers of clothing couldn't shield her from.
She knew she had to hurry through this marsh, or risk the dangerous chill that could incapacitate her and render her legs useless. The thought of spending the rest of her days confined to a wheelchair spurred her to quicken her pace.
After over three laborious hours, she finally emerged from the swamp, her pants soaked through. She quickly sought out a relatively dry spot to start a fire and dry her clothes before continuing her journey. Choosing a small hillock with dense grass as her temporary camping ground, she prepared to weather the impending rain.
As darkness loomed, she knew she had to set up her hammock and start a fire to stave off the impending cold.
Building a fire in this damp forest would require more effort than usual, but Cheyenne had prepared for the cold, damp winters of this region, ensuring her backpack contained a box of matches and a lighter. Surveying her surroundings, she found damp soil and leaves everywhere, but she managed to gather some pine branches with resin, which ignited easily. The pine resin not only helped start the fire but also emitted a pleasant scent that served to repel insects.
Thanks to her thorough preparation, the process of starting the fire proved relatively straightforward, and soon, a dancing flame of yellow and blue illuminated the darkness of the night.
