Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 871 The problem of food and clothing
The energy-gathering vortex can't be used, and the materials he carries are not enough. The first problem that Qi Lin needs to solve at present is to fill his stomach and maintain his body temperature.

The compressed food in the backpack can last for a while, but Qi Lin has nothing to do in the face of the falling body temperature. Originally, because of the existence of the energy-gathering vortex, he only has two thin single clothes on his body. The layered wingsuit and the parachute strapped to his body still look very thin, and the icy cold is desperately drilled in from the gaps between the fabric fibers... If this continues, it won't take long for Qi Lin to Severely frostbitten...

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

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. If you fail this level, you will start over from the skydiving level." Just when Qi Lin was thinking about whether to start over and prepare more supplies, the mastermind suddenly appeared. The words that came out completely dispelled Qi Lin's idea.

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

"Because you chose a 'trick' way to pass the level in the last level. Although I have no objection to doing so, and I also appreciate your ability to adapt to changes, but because of your tricky means, you missed the original landing place. , I set up a temporary camp at that landing site, with tents, sufficient food, winter clothing and fuel."

"..."

"It's not that you didn't make 'adequate' preparations, but that you missed the opportunity to skydive and didn't get the prepared materials."

Qi Lin couldn't refute the mastermind's reason—according to the practice in reality, it is indeed impossible for the airborne troops to carry too much supplies on their bodies. Generally speaking, the supplies will be dropped from the plane together with the personnel. Under the influence of various factors, it is not impossible for these materials to fall into enemy-controlled areas or areas where some paratroopers cannot reach. Every paratrooper who parachutes into the enemy's rear for infiltration operations must do well in the situation of extreme shortage of materials. Prepare to continue fighting.

"Where are the coordinates of the temporary camp?"

"The straight-line distance between that temporary camp and your current one is 120 kilometers, and there are several mountain peaks in between. Are you sure you want to recycle the supplies there?"

"……never mind."

Qi Lin sighed. With his current state, let alone 120 kilometers, even if it was [-] kilometers, he might not be able to walk.

The blizzard has gradually weakened, but the temperature still remains around minus ten degrees. The altitude here is more than 3000 meters above the snow line, and the temperature will not exceed zero even in summer.

He had to take immediate action, at least to let his hands and feet warm up first.

Qi Lin found a small hillside leeward, and used a shovel to dig out a snow hole in the snow that was big enough for most of his body to squat in. Then he took out a small ball of tinder and a lighter. At this moment, he couldn't help but Some are glad that they bring fuel lighters instead of common gas lighters. In plateau areas, due to air pressure and oxygen content in the air, it is difficult for the latter to ignite.

The tinder was quickly ignited, and Qi Lin quickly took out the only pack of solid fuel that he carried with him—this kind of substance that looks similar to margarine has extremely high combustion and heat release, and it only needs to be the size of a fingernail A piece of it can 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, and the milky white solid fuel started to burn as soon as it touched the ignited tinder.

He set up a small pot with a few steel brazes, and Qi Lin picked up a few clean snow cubes and threw them into the pot. Under the licking of the tongue of fire, the snow cubes in the pot melted quickly, and the temperature gradually increased, and a large number of White steam rose from it.

Naturally, Qi Lin couldn't let the steam go to waste. He immediately took off his gloves, grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed his hands vigorously. Just above the pot, let the hot steam help to restore the feeling of the hands.

However, when the steam turned into water droplets attached to his hands, Qi Lin immediately pulled his hands back and wiped them dry with his clothes—the liquid in contact with the body will quickly take away the heat on the body surface. Drying is extremely important.

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

After eating a little bit in the hot water, Qi Lin took off his boots, then cut open the frozen socks with a knife, picked up the crushed snow and began to rub his feet, until they turned red, Then soak your feet in warm water that is no longer hot.

"what……"

This feeling made Qi Lin groan in relief. For a person who is on the verge of freezing, being able to wash his feet with warm water is simply a kind of enjoyment.

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

Solid fuel and compressed food can relieve urgent needs, but they are not a long-term solution. A pack of solid fuel is only [-] grams. In this environment, you can only burn five or six pots of water at most, and compressed food will bring more At least, the little bit eaten just now is already half of Qi Lin's stock.

He suddenly realized that the long jump, the first level set by the mastermind, seemed to be the easiest level, but it was actually a deadly trap—Qi Lin had to lighten his own weight in order to cross that obstacle, and at the beginning, this The trap misleads Qi Lin to make a wrong choice.

He kept a lot 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 fighting content, but he didn't expect to fall into the current situation. situation.

His only hope now is to run into some mutant creatures that are not very strong. As long as he can hunt successfully, the problem of fuel and food will naturally be solved.

"Mastermind, besides the Frost Giant Dragon, are there any traces of other mutated creatures in this area? The best prey is not very strong, but has thick fur and a lot of fat..."
