Chapter 54: Heaven and Earth Mourn, Heavy Snowfalls Rage

As all the ominous signs appeared one after another, the rising smoke formed a dark line, connecting everything together.

Bi Fang suddenly stood up, looking at the increasingly dark sky, his heart pounding.

If there was one thing people feared the most in the wilderness, it was undoubtedly natural disasters, ranking above even the attacks of ferocious beasts.

The so-called invincibility of man against nature is merely a joke in the face of real natural disasters. Faced with earthquakes, tsunamis, or hurricanes, humans are no different from ants on the side of the road.

The audience in front of the screen was also startled by Bi Fang’s sudden stand-up, wondering if something had happened.

What’s going on? Why did he suddenly stand up?

Hahaha, could it be that another bear had arrived? Do they even have bears in Mohe?

His expression looks quite serious; did something happen?

Many guesses flew around in the live chat, but none hit the key point.

Not hesitating, Bi Fang immediately buried the fire in snow to prevent a forest fire and hide any traces. While doing so, he shared his suspicions with everyone.

“At first, I thought the sky looked dark because the air was muddy today. But, have you noticed that the smoke from the fire just now was going straight up? And the occasional wind came from the northeast direction! All these factors are too much of a coincidence.”

“Along the way, we’ve also noticed that today’s temperature is significantly higher than yesterday.”

At this point, the audience became even more puzzled. While these phenomena were strange, what exactly were they implying?

“Mohe is the coldest place in our country, and due to the alternating influence of continental and oceanic monsoons, its micro-climate is changeable with significant local variations. In spring and autumn seasons, the climate is erratic with abrupt rain and snow due to the alternation of winter and summer monsoons.”

“If my analysis is correct, there may be a blizzard coming up next!”

A blizzard!

The viewers in the live stream were genuinely shocked by this news.

Even Wang Yongbo was taken aback when he heard this. He wondered if the live broadcast should continue, as a helicopter couldn’t reach them in a blizzard, rendering the rescue team useless if something went wrong.

Seeing that Bi Fang was not the least bit flustered on the screen, Wang Yongbo calmed down and decided to keep an eye on the situation, ready to send help as soon as Bi Fang signaled to terminate the broadcast.

“That’s right, the key to the formation of a blizzard is temperature and water. As long as strong convective weather occurs, meaning the temperature rises rapidly and air currents become intense with strong upward forces, it can continuously pull up large amounts of water vapor.”

“And in Mohe, due to the low temperature, the water vapor will only condense in the air, forming snowfall!”

“Furthermore, high temperature and low pressure are twins. The rise in temperature will bring low pressure, and blizzards are caused by low-pressure weather systems. At this time, low pressure and strong convection cause the smoke to float straight up before the blizzard arrives, even if there is lateral wind, it is often a southwest wind.”

“With all these signs present, I believe that a blizzard is coming!”

After this series of analyses, not only the audience but also Lu Wentao was dumbfounded.

Always despising his adversaries strategically and taking them seriously tactically, Lu Wentao had been spying on the screen at home these two days, hoping to learn from Bi Fang; but this series of analyses truly shocked him.

Bro, aren’t you a wilderness survival expert?

How did you become a climate expert?

And this series of professional analyses would probably even shock real meteorologists, right?

Yet, Bi Fang found it all too familiar, simply because he was skillful.

The purple Wilderness Survival attribute not only endowed him with powerful knowledge and skills but also abundant experience in the field. This made his perception of environmental changes in the wilderness incredibly acute, even surpassing some professionals!

“Wilderness survival is essentially about humans striving to survive in a natural environment. Since climate is a part of the natural environment, isn’t it reasonable for me to understand it?”

“Nature’s power is overwhelming, and although humans have been advocating for conquering nature since the Industrial Revolution, the fact remains that we are still extremely weak in the face of nature. In the face of major disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, humans have hardly any strength to fight back. In recent years, even talk of conquering nature has dwindled, gradually turning into reverence for nature.”

Please start your lecture, God Fang!

You’re really acting big, good, and strong! I admire, appreciate, and envy you! When can I ever be this strong?

I’m afraid not. God Fang’s strength is based on his skills, while your strength is based on your keyboard.

That hurts, man. *sniffle*

In the live stream, jokes gradually diminished, and the barrage content unified—what to do next?

“When a blizzard occurs, heavy snow is accompanied by strong winds. In extremely harsh conditions, snow fills the sky, and visibility is reduced to less than 1 meter. In such an environment, we cannot even determine if it’s snowing, and we lose our sense of direction. It’s very easy to get lost and freeze to death in the wild.”

“Moreover, the snow accumulated from a blizzard can form huge snowdrifts, blocking roads and even burying tents and houses. So, if you encounter a blizzard, you must find a shelter and wait patiently for it to pass.”

As Bi Fang talked and hurried along, the sky, which was still somewhat sunny just minutes ago, quickly darkened. The strong winds blew up large flakes of snow, filling the air with a wild dance.

It happened too suddenly.

The exaggerated scene confused the viewers in the live broadcast room, who were unable to tell whether it had begun to snow or not. For a moment, everyone worried about Bi Fang.

The wind sighed, and the heavy snow fiercely fell.

The fierce snowflakes buried Bi Fang’s footprints as soon as he lifted his feet. The strong wind blew and made him unsteady on his feet, and he had to exert great effort with every step he took.

Finally, after advancing another 100 meters, Bi Fang found a suitable wind-sheltered slope. He leaned against the snow, hugging the drone that was wobbling uncontrollably due to the strong wind, and shouted, “At this moment, we need a shelter to help us through this ordeal. Just like before, our choice is to dig a snow hole.”

“First, we need to find a wind-sheltered slope, like this one. There’s a lot of powdery snow blown over by the wind, and if you dig here, the slope’s gradient helps gravity to carry the snow downwards, which saves us a lot of energy.”

Due to the strong wind, Bi Fang had to shout, so the audience could hear him clearly.

The wind grew stronger, and soon a thick layer of snow accumulated on Bi Fang’s head and shoulders. The rapidly dropping temperature caused his limbs to stiffen.

He didn’t dig straight down into a hole, as this would form a well, trapping all the cold air above, and he would risk getting buried alive.

Watching this shocking scene, many viewers stopped typing on their keyboards and silently cheered for Bi Fang.
