Festival 08 Snow Cave
Compared to the fish underwater, Chen Zheng's patience is very limited. He can't wait for a year, or even a day.
The temperature here may be tolerant during the day, but once it gets night, standing on such an unobstructed ice surface would be like suicide.
It is necessary to leave, but in order to reduce the risk, Chen Zheng first lay on the ground and rolled for a while, then stood up and walked for a short period, and then lie on the ground and rolled...
Although this makes you lose energy quickly and your body is very expensive, you can confuse your other person's feelings...
However, time has proved that such a simple response seems to be quite effective, at least the monster fish under the ice has never appeared again.
After rolling along the way for several hours, a black line appeared at the junction of sea and sky.
As the distance got closer, the inconspicuous black line gradually became clearer. The terrain on the coast was not very undulating, with dense forests, and big trees were as straight as pine trees.
At first, I just felt that the proportion of those big trees was a bit strange, but as I slowly approached Chen Zheng, I gradually discovered that those big trees... seemed to be very, very tall!?
Rolling all the way, finally, Chen Zheng stepped onto solid land for the first time.
At the same time, the sound of ice cracks suddenly rang out.
"Click..."
Just as Chen Zheng stepped onto the shore, the ice surface behind him was directly broken, and the monster fish suddenly emerged from under the ice layer. After finally looking at Chen Zheng, his tail swung over a huge wave and retracted under the ice surface again.
Chen Zheng frowned at the rippling water surface-
——It actually followed!?
But...how did it know that I logged in here!?
You should know that in the last paragraph, in order not to disturb the possible threats on and under the ice, Chen Zheng did not stand up at all and rolled all the way!
Even so, if it can detect it... can it hear Chen Zheng rolling? But if it can hear it, why not launch an attack earlier?
The rippling waves gradually subsided.
Chen Zheng looked at the route he had walked along the way, and an answer that he was most reluctant to admit emerged in his heart.
Before, when Chen Zheng stood up and moved forward, he would deliberately choose a slightly slanted direction to move forward, and when he rolled, he would deflect backward. The traces left on the snow were one completely irregular "丽" and "?".
When he discovered the coast, Chen Zheng's route began to become regular, and the section close to the shore was even straight line - Chen Zheng thought he was rolling in a monster fish, so he shouldn't hear it!
But the problem lies in the "straight line".
"... Do you want to try it even if you are not sure about it?...Summary of the rules and predict the location..."
Chen Zheng frowned tightly, his eyes stayed on the ice for a while, and suddenly turned around and stared at the towering trees with thick snow behind him.
“…”
Chen Zheng came to the tree closest to him in silence. The bark was rough and hard. It was roughly estimated that the tree was as thick as 20 people hugged it!
Standing under the tree and looking up, I felt like I was standing under CCTV's big shorts looking up - it seemed that the big shorts seemed to be more than 200 meters tall, right?
And this tree is not the tallest!?
Looking around, I saw that the towering trees had no bifurcations, like sharp swords, penetrated straight into the air, and the top began to gradually become thinner and the branches and leaves were dense. The whole tree looked like a square cat stick or a straight dog-tail grass.
The tallest tree in the world should be the eucalyptus tree in Australia. It is said to be 50 stories high. Based on this data, 50 stories multiplied by 3 meters will be 150 meters high... And the tree next to Chen Zheng is one quarter higher than the one in Australia!
Not to mention that there is even a giant tree twice as tall as this one in the distance!!
"well……"
Chen Zheng sighed in a low mood.
When he was standing in the middle of the ice before, Chen Zheng felt something was wrong - the imperial capital did not have such a large saltwater lake. After seeing the huge monster fish, he was even more sure of this, but he was still a little unwilling to believe it.
It was not until he walked into this "giant forest" that Chen Zheng could really not avoid that reality.
"This is really not the earth..."
After a short while of depression, Chen Zheng forced himself to calm down because there were more difficult problems to solve now.
It's going to be dark.
The star in the distance has already sunk westwards - or southeasts and northwards? Who knows! Anyway, there is one thing that is certain, that is, night is about to come.
Although he couldn't feel the temperature change at all when wearing the Jelly Star Brand Vest Shorts and Sleeves, Chen Zheng's head and hands were still exposed to the air, and he had obviously felt that the temperature began to drop sharply!
“I need a shelter…so…”
Chen Zheng thought about it, took out a dagger and cut off a large piece of bark from the tree bark, used this bark as a shovel, and chose a sunny slope to dig up snow.
As mentioned before, snow has a long-short structure, and it is filled with air. As we all know, air is a bad conductor of heat, so snow has become an excellent insulation material that seems a bit beyond common sense.
What Chen Zheng wanted to do was a snow cave. First, cut out a vertical "snow wall" on the slope, and the digging residual snow piled backwards along both sides of the "snow wall" into a "U" shape. The remaining snow was piled upwards, and finally a windproof wall would be formed.
After cutting the "snow wall", Chen Zheng dug it horizontally and dug out a hole with a diameter of about 60 cm and about 1 and a half meter deep.
When the bark shovel hit the frozen soil, Chen Zheng slowly dug up along the slope. After digging about 1 meter, Chen Zheng began to widen and expand his work. During the process, he kept piled up the digging of residual snow on the windproof wall.
Snow caves should not be dug too deep or too large, especially in this kind of survival condition where fire cannot be generated. Excessive snow caves will lead to unnecessary calorie loss. For Chen Zheng, who has no food supplements, losing calories means losing life.
Chen Zheng used a thin and long dead branch to open the vent hole for the snow cave, and piled the last snow on the windproof wall, and the snow cave was officially completed.
At this time, the stars in the sky were completely hidden under the horizon, leaving only stars in the sky blinking at him.
“…Is there no moon…”
Chen Zheng took a last look at the stars in the sky, and bent down and crawled into the narrow snow cave entrance.
The snow cave is small, dark, but very warm. The somatosensory temperature outside the cave is almost minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the temperature above zero can still be maintained in the snow cave. As Chen Yin breathes, the temperature inside the cave will further increase.
Lying in the small and dark space, a long-lost sense of security climbed up to my heart.
Chen Zheng, who was sleepy, tired, thirsty and hungry, his breathing sound gradually became heavier, and he fell asleep in the midst of excessive fright and hunger and coldness.
