n287 A Vicious Person

nIn extremely cold conditions, tears would subconsciously fall.

nThis was also a self-protection mechanism of the human body.

nBut the tears that flowed out would freeze in this low temperature.

nIf you accidentally blink at this moment, congratulations, your eyelids will freeze.

nThe Siberian Icefield in winter was like a forbidden zone. The silence here could torture people to madness.

nWalking on the snow, Bell could only hear the whistling wind and the muffled sound of the snow as he walked on them.

nThe trees that could live in such an environment were coniferous trees.

nBecause they had various ways to help them resist the cold of -60 °C like their needles being covered with protective, waxy coating that slows water vapor loss.

nThis was good news for Bell.

nBecause of their protection against the cold, the wood could be easily ignited and burn longer.

nBell walked to a dead pine tree.

nHe reached out and patted the tree trunk.

n“I don’t like the winter here because it’s too bleak.

nIt is very difficult to see other animals here. Even large hunting animals like brown bears and black bears often hide in their caves to hibernate in this season and use the fat stored in autumn to survive this cold winter.

nBut we don’t have such convenient conditions.

nThe more extreme the environment, the more we need to eat and replenish a large amount of energy to maintain the core temperature in our bodies. Once you find an opportunity to eat, don’t miss it.”

nBell took out the dagger tied to his calf and began to peel the dead pine tree.

nBell did not forget to explain.

n“Pine beetles often like to rest in these dead pine trees.

nThey would lay their larvae inside.

nAlthough these larvae are very small, fortunately, they have high protein content. ”

nWhile speaking, Bell had already peeled off a piece of dead pine bark.

nSoon, Bell found a white larva the size of a fingernail.

nBell ate it in one bite and continued to search.

nAfter working for more than ten minutes, he only found five larvae.

n“By the way, there’s something I forgot to say. Be careful not to let your skin come into contact with metal in this environment.”

nHe took off his gloves and pressed the side of the dagger against his palm.

nIn less than two seconds, the dagger and his hand seemed to be covered in glue. He gently pulled it twice and it did not fall.

n“Do you see that? In such a short time, the metal can firmly stick to your skin.

nIf you pull hard, you will easily injure yourself. ”

n“This is mainly because metal itself is a very heat-conducting substance. Friends who live in the northeast should have some experience when they were young.”

nAt this point, Bell smiled evilly.

nHowever, Bell did not explain the reason.

nThe dagger was stuck to his hand. Bell could not take it off forcefully.

nHe turned his back to the live broadcast. Then, a warmth came from his lower body, and the dagger fell from his palm.

nAfter wiping the dagger, he continued.

n“In this environment, this is the only way I can think of to make the dagger fall off. Of course, if you accidentally touch your face or tongue, I can’t do anything about it. I suggest you take it off by force.”

nThe audience in the live-stream burst out laughing.

n“Hahaha, how can it be stuck to your face?”

n“What’s impossible about it?”

n“Previous poster, let me tell you a secret. In the northeast, the railing is sweet.”

n“F*ck, are you a demon?”

n“I can vouch for it. It’s indeed sweet, sweeter than honey.”

n“That might be because of diabetes.”

nSome fans in the live-stream lost their composure.

nLooking at the comments, even Bell was speechless.

nGood lord, these guys really had comments about everything.

nHe put on his gloves and rubbed them. His hands were already numb from the cold. He did not dare to delay any longer and continued to move forward.

nOf course, Bell did not forget to interact with the audience.

n“Let me remind everyone. Although the railing in the northeast is sweet in winter, I still suggest that you don’t lick it.

nWhen an Englishman was climbing the crevasse, he could not free his hand and held the ice ax in his mouth. In the end, because the temperature was too low, his tongue and mouth were stuck. He had no way to get warm water at that time, so he could only choose the most violent method.

nIn the end, a large piece of skin was torn off. It’s obvious how painful it was. ”

n“So what does this story tell us?”

n“Of course, it’s to tell us that having more skills is not a burden. Sometimes, peeing can help us.”

nThey thought that Bell was going to teach them some survival skills, but who knew that he would suddenly make a sharp turn.

nThe people in the live-stream almost could not react.

nTime passed slowly. A layer of frost formed on Bell’s mouth and nose, and the bone-chilling wind kept whistling.

nAlthough it was only -43 °C outside, the cold wind increased the consumption of heat in Bell’s body, causing his body to consume heat at the same rate as moving in -50 °C.

nHe could even clearly feel the consumption of his energy.

nIt was many times greater than when he was in the Arctic Circle.

nThe larvae he had just eaten were clearly not enough to make up for the lost heat.

nWhile walking in the snow forest, Bell looked around, hoping to find something edible.

n“This damn snow buried everything below.

nIt makes it extremely difficult for us to find food.

nActually, the ideal outcome is to encounter some large mammals, such as deer.

nIf we can capture a deer, the next few days will be easy. ”

nHowever, Bell knew very well that he was not the only one looking for food on this icy plain. Other than the Siberian tiger, the tundra wolves were also his competitor.
