Chapter 34: Digging the Snow Cave and Preserving Body Temperature

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the snowstorm intensified, Bell no longer dared to delay.

“Hurry, we have to move faster. The sun is about to set. In such an environment, the temperature will drop extremely low.”

“If you continue walking, you will just sweat from the exercise. After the sweat evaporates, it will take away most of your body temperature, and you can die from hypothermia.”

Bell said solemnly.

Hearing that the situation was so serious, Scarlett did not dare to delay. She immediately followed Bell and got busy.

“What can I help you with, Bell?”

“Hurry up and pull out the bag frame. Use this to dig a hole in the snow.”

The two of them did not have any tools on hand, so they could only use what they had.

Scarlett nodded and immediately took out the frame that held her bag. The two of them began to dig.

After knowing that the situation was so serious, the audience couldn’t help but worry for the contestants.

“Go, Bell!”

“Go, goddess!”

The screen was filled with comments.

Bell was in no mood to pay attention to this. All his energy was focused on digging the hole. Only with a place to avoid the snow could the two of them safely survive the crisis.

Bell said to Scarlett while digging the snow hole.

“Be careful when digging. You have to dig deep first and then expand horizontally.”

“When you reach a hard surface, you can start clearing the snow. Try to create a flat surface. We might have to rest here tonight.”

Digging a hole in the snow also required some skills. Although the snow in this place that was covered in snow all year round was already very hard and could completely withstand the weight of a human body, if one accidentally lost support, it was still easy to collapse.

Scarlett dug carefully.

Bell nodded.

It seemed like his teammate was quite reliable.

Soon, the two of them touched the hard surface that Bell had mentioned.

Scarlett Johansson was exhausted.

Looking at the busy Scarlett, Bell thought for a moment and stopped her.

“Save your strength and don’t sweat too much. Let me do it.”

At this moment, Bell was like an adult man, giving Scarlett Johansson an inexplicable sense of security, making her look dazed. But soon, Scarlett reacted and quickly shook her head.

“How is that okay? You’re so young. How much strength do you have? Let me do it.”

She wanted to snatch the frame and continue digging, but was stopped by Bell.

“I’m more professional than you here. You have to listen to me.”

Bell’s tone was unquestionable. Scarlett froze, then finally relented.

Seeing that the other party was no longer fighting with him, Bell began to work in peace.

“Alright, everyone, we have cleared the snow. What we need to do now is to create a surface. This is our resting place. The size of the surface is about three times the size of a human body. Because if it’s too big, it will be difficult to maintain the temperature. If it’s too small, once it collapses, we will easily be crushed to death.”

Bell explained to the audience.

Scarlett was fascinated by the serious look on Bell’s face.

“He is even better than what I saw in the video.”

She muttered to herself. Although her voice was soft, she had forgotten one thing: the live broadcast equipment beside her.

The words just now were heard by all the audience.

“The goddess is tempted.”

“No, he’s just a child.”

“Isn’t it better if it’s a child? She can groom him into a husband material?”

“Are you going to experience the happiness of a rich woman?”

Some audience members teased.

Scarlett finally realized that there was something wrong with her words and quickly waved her hand.

“I, I… That’s not what I meant. Don’t speak nonsense.”

Although she was denying it, her panicked expression made it seem like she was trying to hide something.

As if to ease the awkwardness, Scarlett followed behind Bell and began clearing the snow for him, doing some simple, not too physically exhausting work. The snow hole was dug quickly, just enough to accommodate two people.

Looking at the narrow snow cave, Scarlett felt a sense of accomplishment.

After all, she had built it with Bell.

However, while she was still feeling satisfied, Bell took off his gloves and began to touch the snow above his head with his chubby little hand, as if he wanted to melt the snow with his body temperature.

“What is the host doing? Won’t your hand freeze?”

“Yeah, stop it. What are you doing?”

Some of the audience who had not built a snow cave were very puzzled. Even Scarlett went forward to ask, wanting to know the meaning of Bell’s action.

“Don’t be surprised. The snow cave we built is still different from what we usually build after the construction is over. This is because we might be staying here tonight. Our body temperature will melt the roof of the snow cave. If that happens, it will be very dangerous. The melting water is secondary. It might easily cause a collapse. When that happens, we will be in danger. Therefore, we need to use the temperature of our palms to make the snow above our heads more solid.”

Bell explained.

Everyone came to their senses when they heard Bell. Scarlett looked at Bell’s small hands that were red from the cold and felt sorry for him. She took off her gloves and held Bell’s hand to give him some warmth.

Then, she started working as well.

The two of them worked for a while before finally completing the construction of the snow cave.

Feeling exhausted, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, we’re safe for now.”

Bell had a smile on his face. In this snowy weather, Bell’s smile was so warm that Scarlett couldn’t help but be dazed.

Although Bell was still young, he had no lack of charm as a man.

‘Why eight? If only he were eighteen…’

Scarlett thought to herself.

After resting for a while, Bell took out his canteen and filled it with snow.

“There’s a benefit to being in the snowy mountain area. It’s very easy to get water. Fill some snow in the canteen and put it between the layers of your clothes. After that, the water will naturally melt by the time you are awake,” Bell said with a smile.

Scarlett felt a little shy when she heard that he wanted to keep the bottle near his bare skin.

However, in order to ensure that there was no lack of resources, she still did it. Her fair skin was slightly red for some reason.

Perhaps it was because the exercise was too intense earlier.
