Chapter 28 Consequences of drinking too much coffee
Li Teng's consciousness was also in a semi-awake or semi-coma state due to extreme lack of oxygen.
While he was still conscious, Li Teng quickly recalled the angle between his body and the breathable snow cave before he fell asleep, and locked the direction of the breathable snow cave.
The entrance to the cave was filled in with newly fallen snow. Relatively speaking, only the snow in this place was relatively soft. The other places had been compacted by Li Teng, making it almost as hard as ice.
Li Teng groped with his hands and dug hard in that direction, and soon found a place where the snow was relatively soft. After digging the hole deeper for a while, he smashed it with his fist and finally made a hole.
Come.
Fresh cold air quickly poured in from outside the cave, and Li Teng regained his consciousness in an instant as he breathed oxygen again.
He quickly dug the hole wider.
The outside of the snow cave was as dark as the inside, but I could feel the snow falling heavily outside. From time to time, large snowflakes blew into the cave entrance, trying to slowly block the cave entrance again.
Li Teng didn't dare to sleep anymore. He cleaned the snow at the entrance of the cave from time to time to prevent the breathing passage from being blocked again.
After escaping from the danger of almost being suffocated to death, another very urgent trouble came before Li Teng.
He needs to pee.
Li Teng regretted that he shouldn't have drank so much coffee during the day. Now it was very troublesome to crawl out to pee.
With such a heavy snowstorm, if he wasn't careful, he might slip and fall from the top of the stone pillar.
From an altitude of more than a thousand meters, if you fall, you will definitely be shattered to pieces.
Looking back, drinking so much coffee during the day is not without its benefits... Fortunately, drinking so much coffee during the day woke him up.
If he hadn't been woken up by peeing, he would have fallen asleep directly in this sealed snow cave.
Let’s solve the peeing problem first.
With such heavy snow, it would be too strenuous to dig a hole to pee.
If he dug a hole too small, he couldn't get out. If he dug a hole too big, he accidentally pushed down the cave wall. There would be no place to hide from the wind in the middle of the night. In such a heavy snowstorm, he would be quickly frozen into a popsicle.
After thinking for a while, the smart Li Teng quickly thought of a solution.
A way to solve the problem without going out of the hole.
He used his hands to dig out a hole diagonally downwards little by little on the snow wall where the middle of his body was.
It was difficult to dig out the frozen snow, and it took me a long time to dig out a hole the size of a fist.
Soon Li Teng's hands froze and it became very difficult to continue digging.
Li Teng couldn't wait any longer. He lay on his side and took out the drainage pipe and faced the snow cave while trying his best to control the flow of hot water.
The heat and momentum expanded the dug hole some more.
However, the smell in the snow cave is not very pleasant.
Fortunately, cold air blows in from time to time through the vents, which dissipates the smell.
Although he wanted to solve the problem happily, Li Teng couldn't do that. If the flow rate was too high, backflow might occur and the snow cave would be flooded, which would be bad.
But controlling the release makes people feel uncomfortable, just like reading a serialized online article, reading chapter by chapter feels very uncomfortable.
There was no way, Li Teng could only find a balance between the two.
Ten minutes later, Li Teng suddenly felt another gust of wind coming from the middle of his body.
No way? A drop of water can penetrate a stone... No, a drop of water can penetrate a stone? No, water can penetrate ice?
Now that it had been poured through, Li Teng had no worries and quickly discharged it.
It stopped after a full half minute.
So cool!
So cool!
Fortunately, I'm not a woman. Women don't have external drainage pipes, so they can't solve the problem like him.
Then Li Teng reached out and dug a snowball from outside the ventilation hole, and blocked the drainage hole to avoid bad smell in the hole.
"I'm so talented!" Li Teng couldn't help but praise himself.
There is still a lot of snow outside.
Li Teng didn't dare to fall asleep again, so he tried his best to support himself and guard the ventilation hole to prevent it from being blocked by snow again.
It would be great if there was a plastic pipe. If you bury the pipe in the snow wall and extend it outside, the vent hole will not be blocked.
It was very difficult to persevere in the darkness.
Li Teng recalled some online novels he had read, recalling how those positive protagonists overcame many difficulties to reach the other side of victory, and used the positive energy he drew from online novels to support and encourage himself.
Several hours passed.
The drainage holes were dug and blocked several times.
After persisting until late at night, the snow finally stopped.
Li Teng was very sleepy and couldn't hold on any longer. After thinking about it, he dug a bigger ventilation hole and then lay down again.
If the ventilation hole is dug too small, it will easily get blocked. If it is dug too big, wind will blow in and it will be very cold.
We can only find a balance between the two.
…
When Li Teng woke up again, it was already dawn outside.
The grayish kind of brightness.
It's snowing again, very light.
I can feel it's cold outside.
Although the snow cave is as cold as an ice cave, the feeling is still stronger than outside.
In this situation, there is no point in going out.
There was nothing to eat, nothing to play with, and no girlfriend to study and discuss human reproduction and evolution.
So, keep hiding in the cave.
I don’t know when this kind of hard life will end.
Finding ways to earn more points and lower the height of the stone pillar is Li Teng's only hope now.
However, points are really hard to get.
After a hard work, I got 2 points, which is only enough for a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns the next time I go to the movie city.
Thinking of porridge and steamed buns, Li Teng started to swallow again.
All the food I ate at the movie theater yesterday has been completely digested.
All the coffee I drank turned into urine.
Now Li Teng became hungry again.
When people are hungry, they feel colder.
Fortunately, the weather is cold and he is not very thirsty now.
Li Teng stretched his hands and feet from time to time in the cave to prevent them from freezing due to the long period of cold.
I was originally planning to hide in the snow cave for a whole day, but...
Li Teng has new troubles.
Fortunately, he ate a lot of food yesterday, so he now produces a lot of waste in his intestines.
There's no way to solve this in a snow cave.
You have to get out of the hole.
I really don’t want to go out in this weather.
But this situation is not something he can't get out of if he doesn't want to.
Even if there is lightning and thunder outside and everything is filled with viruses, he still has to go out.
The bed Li Teng slept on was a large wooden bed passed down to him by his parents.
It is a double bed two meters long and nearly two meters wide.
Although a corner of his bed was knocked off by a commercial airliner, the remaining part was still fine for one person to sleep on.
After being knocked off a corner, there was an advantage.
That is, Li Teng has a small triangular platform in the corner of the top of the stone pillar.
After clearing away the snow a little, we had a place where we could stand and do things.
After opening the snow cave and getting out, Li Teng took several large balls of snow from the bed, tamped them into a basin shape, and squatted on the small platform to solve the problem.
After solving the problem, I pinched a few triangular pieces of snow and cleaned my butt.
Then I kicked down the snow basin I just made, which also avoided the problem of flushing.
I don’t know if there are any residents in the town. If there are, they won’t go out in such a cold weather, right?
It can't be so accurate that it just lands on someone's head, right?
Li Teng didn't want to blame others, but he had no choice now.
