Section 07 Patience

The huge strange fish lay on the ice and looked at Chen Zheng.

The eyes of each person and the strange intersected for the second time. For some reason, Chen Zheng suddenly shuddered.

The monster fish calmed down after seeing Chen Zheng. After watching him quietly for a few seconds, the tail left in the water suddenly swung out, sweeping out a huge splash of water, and then slipped into the ice cave.

It... gave up?

No! The last look of its eyes doesn’t look like it’s giving up no matter how it looks!

The place where Chen Zheng was standing was covered with thick snow, and the ice surface under his feet could not be seen, leaving Chen Zheng and the monster fish separated one on the water and the other under the water, unable to see each other.

but……

...Chen Zheng remembered the last look of the monster fish, and he would never give up like that!

Must leave here!

Chen Zheng thought, and his steps naturally followed him...

"Crack..."

Chen Zheng stepped on the snow, and the snow was crushed by his weight, making a friction sound that was overwhelmed.

A sudden light of inspiration flashed in Chen Zheng's mind—

——Direction, distance! It can judge my position underwater!

——Sound, ice is solid, water is liquid. Even if it is lost by different media, the sound of footsteps can still be used as the basis for correcting the direction.

——Snow, porous structure, the interior is filled with air, which can have a good sound insulation effect...

Chen Zheng suddenly lay cautiously on the ground, lifted the white shirt over his head, and slowly rolled into the distance!

When the contact area becomes larger, the pressure within the unit area becomes smaller, and the sound emitted by the snow is compressed is sharply reduced. Moreover, due to the thick snow layer, there is still a lot of snow coming from Chen Zheng's body that has not been compressed, but has become a natural sound insulation material, allowing Chen Zheng to quietly leave the place where he once stood.

In this way, after Chen Zheng rolled out more than ten meters, just as he began to worry about whether the monster fish would have such an IQ...

"Click!"

At the place where he started to roll, the ice layer was suddenly pushed up, and a giant axe appeared out of thin air and directly cut into the middle of the snow mark that Chen Zheng was lying down!! Immediately afterwards, two curved hooks were squeezing the "neck" and "ankle" of the snow mark. Finally, the two crab claws were viciously clamped towards the "chest" and "butt".

Fortunately, Chen Zheng is no longer there.

"hiss……"

Chen Zheng took a breath and held it in his mouth, and lay on his back in the thick snow. His weight pushed the snow out of a snow pit, which just could cover his body. He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the monster fish.

After the monster fish found that its attack failed, it completely penetrated the ice surface and seemed to climb onto the ice surface again. However, from Chen Zheng's perspective, most of his vision was blocked by the snow, and he could only vaguely see the arthropod-shaped tentacles behind the monster fish's neck.

Then, the arthropod tentacles disappeared and the monster fish sank into the water.

After hearing the sound of water, Chen Zheng quickly continued to roll and rolled out hundreds of meters. He was so tired that he was breathing, then he slowly stood up, shook the snow on his body, and dug out the snow that poured into the cuffs of his neck.

Looking back from here, the ice cave was no longer visible, and only the mark he had rolled along the way continued to extend crookedly to his feet.

"Hiss...so cold!"

Chen Zheng shuddered.

I have been exercising just now, and I am in a tense line of life and death. My whole body is in a state of extreme fanaticism, and I have no time to pay attention to the problem of cold.

But now once you are out of danger, various secondary physiological needs begin to appear, such as thirst, hunger, and cold.

Why is it so cold!?

Chen Zheng shivered again, feeling that his lips didn't seem to feel anything. Suddenly, his ears were itchy, and he grabbed them with his hands.

"ah!?"

Chen Zheng stared blankly at the ears in his hand...

——That was his own ear!!

When I was a child, the old man said that in the past, it was so cold that people's ears were frozen. Chen Zheng always thought that they were all things like urban monsters, but he didn't expect that he would encounter them today!

Fortunately, there is alien technology here!

Chen Zheng opened the package, took out the "mobile phone" of Jelly Star Man, put his ear back and pressed the switch...

As the light enveloped him, his ears were itchy at first, and then soon the numbness disappeared and became warm.

When the ears were fully recovered, the warmth left the wounds of the ears and rushed to other places. This warm current not only repaired Chen Zheng's ears, but also his lips, which had been numb to the cold, began to regain consciousness.

Just as this warm current flowed to Chen Zheng’s chest...

"Didi--"

The Jelly Star's "mobile phone" suddenly emitted a short prompt sound, and then the green light disappeared, and the warm current in Chen Zheng's body also stopped flowing.

“…is there no power…”

Chen Zheng looked at the "mobile phone" of Jelly Star, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he hadn't been greedy for that little warmth just now, maybe the remaining energy could be used to treat similar frostbite again.

But thinking about it, the Jelly Stars used so many times before, and several times they rescued Chen Zheng from a dying state. The energy consumed was obviously many times warmer than the few seconds that Chen Zheng was greedy for.

"I don't know if this thing can be charged."

After trying several times to make sure it was no longer usable, Chen Zheng carefully carved it.

Looking at the other things on the ground, Chen Zheng simply put the sleeves, vests and so on his body.

The Jelly Star Man has a similar figure to Chen Zheng. He didn't feel anything when wearing a vest, but when he was putting on the sleeves, Chen Zheng originally thought he couldn't put it in. As a result, he didn't know what material the materials were, but he could easily put it outside. The size was as good as a sleeve specially made for Chen Zheng.

“…Smart fiber…”

No, it's not just smart fibers!

When Chen Zheng put on half of the black suit top, he obviously felt that he was not so cold!

It has been so broken that it has such a good insulation effect! Chen Zheng feels that when he gets this technology to the earth, those manufacturers who make outdoor products such as windbreakers can buy a piece of tofu to collide.

Without saying a word, I put on my pants, pulled out a strip of cloth before using my clothes, tied my trouser legs tightly, and tied my sleeves tightly. This kind of "clean and neat" beggar was born!

However, whether it looks good or not is second, keeping warm is the most important thing.

After some cleaning, it had been more than half an hour since the monster fish disappeared, but Chen Zheng still did not dare to be careless.

In nature, hunters' patience is amazing in order to hunt. In Chen Zheng's knowledge reserve, there are even examples where they can wait for nearly a year. For example, crocodiles in Africa only prey on the day when wildebeests migrate every year.

——It was mentioned in the BBC documentary "Hunting".
