Chapter 64: Chapter #64: Cookout

[Base #7]

The scent of grilled food wafted through the air, enticing everyone near the source of the delicious aroma.

A large, open area had been set up for the cookout. Long wooden picnic tables were arranged in a neat row, covered with checkered tablecloths that billowed gently in the evening breeze. Around the tables, colorful lanterns were strung up, adding a warm and inviting glow to the surroundings.

A group of hunters and students had gathered around the grill, where a skilled cook was flipping burgers and sausages with practiced ease. The sizzle of meat on the hot grill accompanied by the occasional burst of flames brought a sense of festivity to the scene.

Laughter and conversations filled the air as people from different bases and backgrounds mingled. Some hunters were sitting on folding chairs, chatting, and sipping on cold beverages, while others engaged in friendly games of frisbee or tossed a football back and forth.
