Chapter 102: Avoiding the Snowstorm
Chu Qiao continued digging, "Even if there's no snowstorm, if the temperature drops significantly, it's not suitable to continue walking. Walking does generate heat and sweat, and when a large amount of sweat evaporates, it will cause hypothermia."
Half an hour later, Chu Qiao dug out a snow cave two meters long and one meter deep.
Chu Qiao stood up and looked outside the cave, his mouth cracked into a smile as he said, "The snow cave is completed, but it is not a perfect shelter."
As she spoke, she continued digging along the wall of the snow cave with a small shovel: "I will dig out a small platform here. This is where I want to rest."
"Is it that narrow?"
"Why do you want to do this?"
Chu Qiao: "When cold air enters the snow cave, it sinks. That means if I were directly in the snow cave, I might freeze to death. The platform I'm digging now is located in the middle layer of the snow cave, where the temperature is a little higher."
As she spoke, she had already dug out a groove 30 cm wide and 20 cm high.
"I need to widen this platform. Although a narrower platform would keep me warmer, once a blizzard hits, the snow on top will compact and make the platform even narrower. You might lose your life because you can't feel the increasing pressure while you're asleep."
"Finally, we made the top of the platform as smooth as possible. The heat from our bodies would melt the raised ice crystals and cause them to drip. I don't like the feeling of being soaked."
Chu Qiao spread the parachute canopy on the platform and placed the backpack at one end as a pillow.
He made an OK gesture to the camera.
Chu Qiao took out the kettle from her arms. After running around for most of the day, the water in Chu Qiao's kettle had completely melted. She took a sip and carefully put herself into the platform.
The drone flew outside the snow cave, and the scene it filmed was reduced to a sea of white. Visibility was only one meter. It seemed to sense the coming of the storm and slowly landed in the snow cave, with the camera aimed at Chu Qiao who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Master Chu, don't close your eyes, or I'll have the illusion that you're in a coffin."
"Although I don't want to curse Master Chu, I can't deny it."

"My concern is, can this really weather the storm?"
Little Loli: "Excuse me, this is just waiting to die."
Dong Ling: "Loli, although I like both of you, it's really inappropriate for you to say that."
Little Loli: "You are my fan, so you should know that I am always straightforward. If I don't like something, I don't like it."
After the meeting, Chen Ao entered the live broadcast room immediately and saw that the little Loli was also there, and she actually started arguing with netizens.
"Chen Ao gave Chu Qiao a helicopter—I believe in you."
One sentence shut the little Loli's mouth.
The little Loli was dumbfounded in front of the screen. It turned out that Chen Ao was biased. She used to think that the people below her were taking advantage of him.
Now that Chen Ao was personally blocking her mouth, the little girl slapped her forehead in frustration: "What kind of world is this? Is it impossible to tell the truth?"
Before the little girl could recover from her depression, a private message arrived.
The flashing name made the little girl calm down. Chen Ao?
"You are also a leader in the live broadcast industry. We are all in the same industry. We should compete in a healthy way and respect each other."
Chen Ao's words were a double entendre, affirming her ability and reminding her at the same time.
The little girl pouted and said, "My cousin is right. I shouldn't be so arrogant and insult people everywhere."
Chen Ao glared in the office.
"Even with a trumpet on, it won't work."
Little Loli: "In front of power, we have to bow down."
Chen Ao glared, and his assistant was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.
Chen Ao: "Find me some live videos of little Loli."
Assistant Xiao Liang immediately took out his mobile phone, picked a previous video at random, and placed it on Chen Ao's desk.
In the video, a young girl is complaining about a liquid foundation. "Guys, let me just say this liquid foundation is treating your faces like a wall. It's fake white, patchy, and it fades quickly. It's not spicy at all, and it's the worst of the worst."
Chen Ao curled his lips and handed the phone back to his assistant.
She used to think that her cousin was just playing around and didn't take live streaming seriously, so she never paid attention to it. But now, she sees that this little Loli's personality is quite attractive, and she is considered a rare gem in the beauty industry.
Chen Ao has always been generous with his tolerance towards special people, especially since she is his cousin.
The assistant wiped his sweat. Will Chen Ao change his beloved?
Before I could finish my thought, I noticed Chen Ao looking at his phone standing beside him again. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "The snowstorm is really coming."
Chu Qiao's eyes suddenly opened. A strong wind was raging outside the cave. Countless snow was swept up and rushed madly in one direction. Chu Qiao was on the platform watching the cave on one side being covered by the snow that suddenly poured in, and gradually turned into darkness.
The drone's propellers spun frantically to keep a place in the constantly incoming snow.
A blue light lit up, and netizens could only see Chu Qiao in the cave, almost unable to move.
Chu Qiao saw his current miserable state through the light curtain.
Chu Qiao smiled and said, "There's nothing much to see. I guess we'll have to keep this posture until tomorrow morning. Everyone, go wash up and go to bed."
After saying that, the live broadcast room instantly went dark.
The drone's lights disappeared, and the propellers stopped turning. There was darkness all around, and no sound at all. Chu Qiao felt like the days were passing by in this extreme silence.
"The first mountain in the Southern Mountains Classic is called Que Mountain..."
Chu Qiao was bored and recited the entire "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in his mind, then finally forced himself into a light sleep.
When I entered deep sleep, it was almost morning.
In the quiet snow cave, the propeller of the drone suddenly began to rotate. Due to the compression of ice and snow overnight, the propeller squeaked as it rotated, cutting off the surrounding snow blocks.
Chu Qiao didn't notice anything at all, and she didn't even notice that the melting ice and snow above her head were dripping onto her eyebrows.
There are already 30,000 people waiting in the live broadcast room, all of them are die-hard fans who are worried about Chu Qiao's safety.
Facing the scene in the camera.
“Is it my network card?”
"I'm stuck too."
"No, there are small drops of water falling from it."
"I saw that, too."
"Then why doesn't Mr. Chu move?"
"No?"
"I have a bad feeling about that."
Brother Feng looked at the screen nervously, his heart clenched.
Cold water drops fell into Chu Qiao's eyelids, and her eyelashes were stained with water droplets. In the camera, there was a fragile beauty.
This bit of coolness finally made Chu Qiao react, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Master Chu moved, his eyes moved."
"I was wondering, how could Master Chu die so easily?"
"Mr. Chu was so quiet when he fell asleep."
Chicken Little: "No, it's extraordinarily moving."
Chu Qiao's eyes suddenly opened, and before the drone could switch to a close-up, everyone was startled by his not-so-gentle look.
Chicken Little: "I take that back."
"Master Chu, please don't be so startled, okay?"
"I'm glad Master Chu is okay. I can handle this little shock."
"Brother Feng gave Chu Qiao a plane - safety is all that matters, nothing else matters."
