The snow hole was not straight. It needed to be dug at a slanted angle.
“Remember, when digging a snow cave in the wild, the angle has to be tilted upwards.
This way, the cold air will not enter the cave. After digging, we will dig a snow trench.
With the logic of convection current that cold air sinks, the cold air in the cave will gather in the snow trench and increase our temperature.”
It was not difficult to dig the loose snow. It took Bell less than half an hour to dig his shelter.
There was a 1m long passage.
Bell’s true shelter was built past the passage.
When night fell, he only needed to start a fire and block this path.
Bell did not dig too high. He only needed it to be about a meter tall and two meters wide. It was definitely enough to accommodate a child.
He could even use this empty space to dig another trench to settle the cold air.
“Alright, our shelter is completed. We have to gather some firewood so that we can eat our dinner and have a good sleep.”
Although digging this snow was not difficult, it was a huge project for Bell. He was already sweating.
Now that his movements had stopped, Bell could clearly feel the sweat on his body quickly condensing. It was the same feeling as when he had fallen into the river, making the blood vessels on his skin tighten. His body started trembling involuntarily.
Fortunately, Bell was in the pine forest and did not lack wood. Soon, he gathered a large pile.
In order to sleep better tonight, Bell deliberately found some thick tree trunks.
These thick tree trunks could burn for at least a few hours. This could increase Bell’s sleep quality and prevent him from having to get up every hour to add firewood.
After returning to the shelter, Bell began to start a fire.
But at this moment, he could already feel that his hands were no longer agile, and his sense of touch was disappearing bit by bit.
Moreover, because of the intense activity, the sweat on his skin seemed to have condensed into a thin layer of ice armor, causing Bell’s temperature to drop rapidly.
If he could not start a fire, Bell would probably close the live-stream and buy the life-saving medicine in the system.
But it was not the time to make that decision yet. Although his fingers were not very agile, he still had a way to start a fire.
The fire saw method was a good choice. It did not require much flexibility in the hand. As long as he could move the thread back and forth, and the speed was fast enough, flames would be produced in a short time.
As expected, in less than a minute, a fire rose in Bell’s small shelter.
He added more firewood and the small flames quickly turned into a burning fire.
The reflection on the smooth and white wall of the snow cave made it much brighter.
“Yes, it’s really comfortable to have such a fire.
“If you haven’t experienced it yourself, you will never know this comfort.”
Bell heaved a sigh of relief. He wished he could hold this fire in his arms.
After a while, Bell could feel his body gradually warm up. He used this time to block the snow passage.
Of course, it was not completely blocked. At the very least, there had to be a vent.
Then, Bell took out the frozen clothes from his backpack and knocked them with his hand. He could hear some clanging sounds.
They were clearly frozen stiff.
