Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter food and clothing issues

The energy-gathering vortex cannot be used, and the supplies they carry are not sufficient. The first problem that Qi Lin needs to solve at present is to fill his stomach and maintain body temperature.

The compressed food in the backpack can still last for a while, but Qi Lin was unable to face the ever-decreasing body temperature. Originally, because of the energy gathering vortex, he only had two thin single clothes on his body. Even with the wing suit with a warm layer and the parachute tied to his body, he still looked very thin, and he was desperately drilling into the gap between the fabric fibers with a sharp cold... If this continues, Qi Lin will be severely frostbite...

Mild frostbite may not be a big problem, but severe frostbite can cause permanent damage to muscles and nerves and necrosis of body tissues. This kind of injury cannot be recovered in a short time even with Qi Lin's self-healing ability. Then the only thing waiting for him is failure.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that if you fail this level, you will start over from the skydiving level." Just as Qi Lin was thinking about whether to start over and prepare more supplies, a sudden sentence from the master's mind completely dispelled Qi Lin's idea.

"Damn...why? If I knew in reality that I would fall into this situation, I would definitely be fully prepared!"

"Because you chose the "shortness" method in the previous level. Although I am not against doing this, and I also appreciate your ability to adapt to the situation. However, because of your tricks, you missed the original landing location. I set up a temporary camp at that landing location, with tents, plenty of food, cold-proof clothes and fuel."

“…”

"It's not that you're not ready for 'full', but that you missed the opportunity to jump and didn't get the prepared supplies."

The reason of the master's mind made Qi Lin completely unable to refute - according to the practice in reality, it is indeed impossible for the airborne troops to carry too much material on them. Generally speaking, materials will be placed on the plane with personnel. Under the influence of various uncertainties, it is not impossible for these materials to fall into the enemy-controlled areas or some areas that paratroopers cannot reach. Every paratrooper who airborne behind enemy lines for infiltration operations must be prepared to continue fighting in the face of extreme scarcity of materials.

“Where is the coordinates of the temporary camp?”

"The temporary camp is one hundred and twenty kilometers away from your current straight line, and there are several peaks in the middle. Are you sure you want to recycle the supplies there?"

"……never mind."

Qi Lin sighed. With his current state, even 120 kilometers, he might not be able to get through it even if it is 12 kilometers.

The blizzard gradually weakened, but the temperature remained at about minus ten degrees Celsius. The altitude here is more than 3,000 meters above the snow line, and the temperature will not exceed zero degrees even in summer.

He must take action immediately, at least, to warm up his hands and feet first.

Qi Lin found a small hillside with a leeward, used a shovel to dig a snow hole in the snow that most of his body could squat in, and then took out a small ball of tinder and a lighter. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little glad that he brought a fuel lighter instead of a common gas lighter. In the plateau area, due to air pressure and air oxygen content, it was difficult for the latter to catch fire.

The turtle was quickly lit, and Qi Lin quickly took out the only bag of solid fuel that he brought on his body - this substance that looked similar to margarine had extremely high combustion heat release, and only a piece of fingernail size could be worth more than half a kilogram of anthracite.

Qi Lin squeezed about one-fifth of the solid fuel into a circle on a bare rock like squeezing toothpaste. The milky white solid fuel burned wildly as soon as it touched the ignited tinder.

He used a few steel drills to raise a small pot, and Qi Lin picked up a few clean snow pieces and threw them into the pot. Under the licking of the flames, the snow pieces in the pot melted quickly, the temperature gradually increased, and a large amount of white steam rose out of it.

Qi Lin naturally could not let the steam be wasted. He immediately took off his gloves, grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed his hands hard. After the frozen purple skin began to turn red, he quickly reached his hand directly above the small pot, allowing the hot steam to help his hands recover.

However, when these steams turned into water droplets attached to the hands, Qi Lin immediately pulled his hands back and wiped them with clothes. The liquid that touches the body will quickly take away the heat from the body surface. It is extremely important to restore the body temperature and keep it dry.

After repeated cycles like this several times, Qi Lin's intuition of his hands finally recovered, and his blood began to circulate normally. At this time, the snow water in the small pot had already boiled.

After eating a little with hot water, Qi Lin took off his boots, then cut open the frozen socks with a knife, picked up the snow and started rubbing his feet. After rubbing red, he soaked his feet in warm water that was no longer hot.

"ah……"

This feeling made Qi Lin let out a comfortable moan. For a person on the verge of freezing, being able to wash his feet with warm water is simply a pleasure.

Dry your feet, change into a pair of clean and soft new socks, put on your boots, Qi Lin put away the shelf and the small pot, covered the ashes with crushed snow, and then crawled out of the snow cave.

Solid fuel and compressed food can alleviate urgent needs, but it is not a long-term solution. A pack of solid fuel is only 100 grams. In this environment, you can only cook five or six pots of water at most, and even less compressed food is brought. The slightest bit just now is already half of Qi Lin's inventory.

He suddenly realized that the first level of long jump set by the main brain seemed to be the simplest level, but it was actually a fatal trap - Qi Lin had to reduce his burden to overcome that obstacle, and at the beginning, this trap misled Qi Lin to make the wrong choice.

He retained a large amount of heavy ammunition and gave up half of the food and fresh water. In Qi Lin's subconscious, he believed that the next level would contain a lot of combat content, but he did not expect to fall into this situation today.

His only hope now is to be able to collide with some mutant creatures with weak strength. As long as he can successfully hunt, the fuel and food problems will naturally be solved.
