Chapter 651 Waiting
Shivering from the cold
It is quite useful to add so many things to your physical condition. Although you have a cold, at least you will not easily develop serious symptoms such as fever, which is really difficult to deal with.
Once you have a fever, you will lose almost 90% of your mobility.
If it's a common cold, Bifang will be able to recover on its own within a week.
"A snowstorm..."
After figuring out the situation, Bifang sighed, and like the audience, couldn't help but recall the scene in Mohe.
That was only his second adventure, and he encountered an unforgettable life-and-death crisis. It is still fresh in his memory and it makes him scared.
But the temperature at that time was only about minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, which can be called "warm" compared to now.
The biggest concern now is how long the snowstorm will last.
One day is fine, but two, three, four days...
Snowstorms bring not only low temperatures, but also squeezes on activities.
Mohe is fine, with its rolling mountains, endless forests, and many snowy hills, making it barely navigable. But not far ahead is a vast plain, with strong winds that blow like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins and can directly run you to death.
Even if he was strong and powerful enough not to be blown away by the wind, the wind and snow would block his vision, making it even more difficult to search for supplies. He had only eaten some moss last night to fill his stomach. If he could wait for a few more days, he would not starve to death, but his body would be completely weakened.
However, thinking too much is useless, and thinking also consumes energy.
Every decision you make is a huge consumption of energy, even eating and drinking are no exception. When you are thirsty and subconsciously want to drink water, you are actually inadvertently consuming your energy for decision-making. Many times, some trivial things must be developed into physical habits.
Most modern people lack energy , and sometimes they feel very tired without doing anything during the day. In fact, this is the case. From waking up in the morning, wondering whether to get up, to whether to brush teeth or eat breakfast first, all of these are consuming the limited energy of the day.
It’s better to save some time and do more things.
Bifang started the live broadcast, and the comments that were originally discussing the snowstorm immediately turned into neat greetings, followed by a variety of inquiries about whether a snowstorm was coming.
Faced with this question, Bifang directly took down the backpack blocking the cave entrance, and a whistling wind blew back...
No, there was no squall.
The accumulated snow directly buried the entire Bifang cave. The backpack that was originally blocking the strong wind at the entrance of the cave was also buried under the snow, so it would not be a problem at all if it was taken away.
Bifang had to dig upwards with great effort. It must be said that the structure of the snow was quite solid. It took Bifang half an hour to finally dig through. The howling wind suddenly rushed in, stirring up a cloud of snow dust.
After coughing twice, Bifang wrapped his clothes tightly and crawled out from the ground.
Good job!
As soon as they came up, everyone was shocked. The visibility was so bad that nothing could be seen more than three meters away. It was even worse than the visibility at night. The mountains that were visible before had all disappeared. Everywhere they looked, it looked like smog, gray and hazy.
The big rock he had been leaning against had already been half buried in the snow, with only half of his bald forehead exposed.
Bifang was almost blown away. Soon his face was covered with white frost and he had to retreat back into the cave.
"The snowstorm came unexpectedly. Just when my life was starting to get better, it was ruined by it." Facing the camera, Bifang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
[I'm afraid this is not directed at Lao Fang (dog head)]
[This may be the most difficult time for Lao Fang now, right? ]
[Indeed, when has our God ever suffered such an injustice? Sooner or later, we will go to the Heavenly Palace and kill the ungrateful Lei Gong and Dian Mu! Pin them to the ground, peel off their skin and pull out their tendons, pluck out their wings, and cook them for a wild BBQ! ]
[Are they responsible for the snowstorm as well? (scratching my head)]
[No matter whether it is or not, put the hat on first (funny)]
[I saw on the weather forecast that this snowstorm will last for three days]
[Fuck, three days? ]
Three days!
Bifang was secretly shocked, but not too disappointed. Snowstorms in Greenland are like this. Once they come, it is difficult to stop. It is impossible for them to disappear without a few days.
He was mentally prepared for this, but Bifang still felt a little disappointed when he heard the truth.
[Three days, can we go out hunting in this weather? ]
Yes, everyone saw the scene just now. You can't see anything more than three meters away. Let alone hunting, it's difficult to protect yourself. You might freeze into a popsicle if you go out for half an hour. Don't give rewards at this time. Let's mourn together.
Just when the audience didn't know what to do, Bifang had already made a decision.
“We can’t just sit there and wait for death.”
Bifang turned over and took out the small shovel that he had not untied before, and began to dig the soil again, throwing the dug frozen soil towards the only hole.
When a snowstorm occurred, the caves originally used to deal with it were obviously not enough and had to be modified.
"Snow is a great insulator, and if you can dig a snow cave to escape the storm, your chances of survival will increase significantly."
"Winds of 100 mph can drop the ambient temperature to -60 degrees Celsius, and these winds can bring blizzards that can stop you in your tracks and pound the snow into very hard layers."
"The snow will accumulate on the leeward side of the slope at this time. The shelter can be dug deeper than 2.5 meters, but it depends on how compacted the snow is."
“Safety is something that should always be kept in mind. Steep slopes are best because on steep slopes, the snow you dig out can be thrown directly out from the entrance. This reduces the amount of energy you need to expend to clear the entrance, especially if you dig deep.”
After digging about 0.5 meters, turn to one side at an angle.
Try to do this job quickly and without sweating.
Otherwise, once he stopped working, the sweat would quickly cool his body down.
"The entrance should be lower than the cave because cold air sinks, so the cave can push the cooler air out, and the entrance should be small so it is easier to close. If you are on the ground, use a rucksack to insulate the ground."
"Block as many entrances and exits as possible, but leave a hole about the size of your head for ventilation and observation. On the leeward side of the slope, the wind dies down and the snow piles up; you may be working hard, but you must maintain a vent to avoid suffocation. Two hours of snowfall is roughly equivalent to two hours of digging."
After digging deep for half a day, Bifang began to dig ventilation holes upwards to avoid suffocation.
After doing all this, Bifang rolled up like a ball and wrapped his toes and fingers, but he was not depressed.
"It's tough to spend a night in a makeshift shelter like this with little insulation, but your chances of survival are still much better than if you were outside."
"From now on, we can only wait."
