Chapter 64: The Blizzard
"???Brother Xiaokai, what did you just say?"
"Digging a hole in the snow?
"I thought I heard it wrong."
"Isn't it colder under the snow?"
"That's right, you can't freeze to death if you live in a snow cave!"
Many viewers were very surprised when they heard Li Kai say that he wanted to dig a cave in the snow as a shelter.
So before he started, Li Kai gave you a brief explanation: "The snow layer is actually not as cold as everyone thinks, because of the isolation of the cold wind from the outside, the temperature below is higher than the surface, although it is still very cold, but it can be maintained at a temperature of about 0 °C, which is much better than the low temperature of dozens of degrees below zero outside." Li Kai explained.
Then he pointed his live broadcast equipment in the direction in front of him and pointed to the snow slope he had just climbed.
"I've seen it, it's a good location, I'm going to try to dig a hole in the snow on this slope, it's the leeward side, the cold wind can't blow here, and it's much easier to dig a hole on the slope than on flat ground. ”
However, digging a hole requires tools, Li Kai glanced around a few times, and found that there was a piece of bark scraped from nowhere in the rock crevice not far away, so he immediately picked it up.
Like a shovel, Li Kai shoveled aside the ice and snow under him with the bark of a tree, and after a while, he made a big hole.
"Whew~, fortunately, I found this bark, which can be used as a shovel, and the efficiency of digging snow has improved a lot, otherwise I can only dig by hand, and the consequence of this is that it is very likely that my hands will be severely frostbitten. ”
"Brother Xiaokai has worked hard"
"Nima, it's so cold when you look at it, you don't look like you can live in it."
"I feel sorry for me for a minute"
"Be careful with the anchor, don't be buried alive below"
"Phew, can you talk upstairs, don't look forward to Xiao Kai's order, crow's mouth!"
The audience spoke, but the tone did not look optimistic, after all, it was too cold here, and it was a real concern to live in such a harsh environment on a glacier at an altitude of thousands of meters.
"Thank you for your concern, I will take care of my safety. I don't want to live in a snow nest if there is another way, but the conditions on the glacier do not allow for a bonfire, and the temperature drops to a very low level at night, so I have to do this to avoid freezing to death. Li Kai spread his hands to the camera, and he was also helpless.
Although he would not freeze to death, it would not be warm either, and it would be a terrible place to live, and he could barely survive the night.
Reluctantly, but Li Kai's hand has not stopped, and under the excavation of the bark, the snow hole was quickly dug, about two meters deep, and then he took out a small space on the side wall of the big pit, which was more than enough to accommodate Li Kai.
This is where he sleeps and rests, and he is about to make a snowbed, when a system prompt suddenly appears in front of his eyes.
[System Prompt]: Congratulations to the host for reaching 1 million live broadcast popularity (currently 1394247/1000000)
Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Li Kai was stunned for a moment before reacting, after so many days of fermentation, his popularity seems to have grown explosively, and the first day of the live broadcast exceeded the popularity requirements limited by the system, and the number of online users was close to 1.4 million, which is a very good start.
But now it's still important to work, the snowstorm is coming, and Li Kai continues to be busy after being surprised.
After a lot of hard work, Li Kai consumed a lot of physical energy, making a fine sweat stain appear in his head.
The body also became warmer, but this was not good news for him, because as the sweat was excreted from the body, his body would quickly get cold and take away a lot of body heat.
"Whew, my fingers are numb and I can't feel the temperature of the snow and ice. About half an hour passed, Li Kai threw a pile of ice and snow from the snow cave, and quickly rubbed his frozen red fingers, "Look, my snow cave has basically taken shape." At night, the cold air would fall on where I was standing, called the cold well, and then I could sleep in the space that had been carved out next to me, trying to maintain my body temperature. ”
"Now there's only one last step left, which is to level out the roof and perfect it so that the heat I emit causes the roof to melt and drip. ”
In front of the live broadcast camera, Li Kai smoothed the edges and corners of the ice and snow above the snow cave and made them smooth and flat before finishing work.
"Alright, the snow cave is finished, and this is my shelter for tonight. After getting it done, Li Kai got in, used the travel bag as a pillow, and lay on top of the snow, feeling that it was okay, not as bad as he thought before.
Although the audience still felt unreliable, they still sent a wave of 666 very supportively.
Call~!
Not long after Li Kai finished the snow cave, the tumbling clouds also arrived as scheduled, covering the entire sky, and the sky became even more gloomy, and the cold wind mixed with snow flakes howled, making a sharp sound, blowing over the slope top above the snow cave, forming a violent blizzard.
As he had said before, the slope on which he was digging was relatively leeward, and was not affected by the raging blizzard.
Looking at the situation outside at this time, Li Kai could imagine that if he was still in a hurry at this time, he was afraid that he would soon become a snowman, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I guess I'll have to stay here today. ”
The cold wind was howling, Li Kai poked his head out and took a look, and found that the clouds above were still very gloomy, and it was estimated that this snowstorm would not stop for a while, so he could only shrink back and curl up on the snow bed, waiting for the incomparably long next day.
"Although the snow cave is much better than the outside, it is still very cold, the temperature is about 0°C, fortunately I am wearing an outdoor coat bought from the system, and the warmth effect is not bad, otherwise everyone will probably see my frozen corpse tomorrow morning. Li Kai nestled in the snow cave, laughing at himself at the camera and making a small joke.
"Listening to the whirring wind from the computer stereo, I feel panicked for Brother Xiaokai"
"We're going to die of heat, we can't wait to get into the refrigerator, and the anchor is shivering in the ice and snow, it's a sad story"
“...... , distressed anchor for a minute"
"Two minutes of distress for the anchor"
"You guys upstairs are enough, when are you still joking! Look at me, I feel sorry for the anchor for a second, okay, it's done.
“......”
Looking at the barrage constantly floating on the live broadcast screen, Li Kai was speechless, crying and laughing, what kind of fans are these, don't forget to ridicule him at this time.
However, after a burst of laughter, he still received encouragement and comfort from many viewers, and gave him countless gifts.
With a huge number of more than one million online people, the audience of local tyrants in Li Kai's live broadcast room has also increased, and the Super Rubik's Cube is being sent as if it doesn't need money, and there are more than 100 in a short period of time, which makes Li Kai feel a little ashamed, and hurriedly persuades everyone to stop.
After thanking the audience for the reward and chatting nonsense for a while, Li Kai also went off the air, ending today's live broadcast.
As night fell, the temperature on the glacier became even lower, the snowstorm was still raging, Li Kai was so hungry that his stomach was growling, and his unprotected hands and feet were also cold, and he had to keep alive to barely be frozen.
Li Kai had a very difficult night, he didn't eat a little food after coming here, his belly kept protesting, and he slept on the cold snow, he couldn't feel the slightest warmth at all, and he could only rely on his own physique to resist.
At this time, he couldn't help but be glad that he had taken the primary physique strengthening potion, and his physical fitness had been greatly improved, otherwise with his original physique, it would only be more difficult to endure in such a harsh and harsh environment.
......
After some time, the storm gradually became smaller, the clouds dispersed, the uneager sun rose from behind the ridge, and the dawn of the next day finally crept in.
