Chapter 2 Night falls
The feeling of thirst is real.
No wonder I still felt thirsty after drinking a large glass of water in my dream.
Also, the feeling of holding in your pee is real.
There is no water to drink, but water still needs to be released.
After being trapped on top of the stone pillar, Li Teng never let go of the water.
The reason is simple... there is no toilet up here!
Is it possible to just stand next to the bed and pee underneath?
Are there any townspeople in the town below? If you get wet, will you think it’s raining?
Smelly rain?
Isn’t it too unethical?
I can't care about that much now.
You can’t lie on your own bed, right?
"Everyone below, I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time."
Li Teng muttered, then stood up carefully, took small steps to the bed, and looked down cautiously.
A careless moment can kill someone!
After urinating, Li Teng panted and returned to the middle of the bed and sat down, as if he had done some heavy physical work.
It took a long time before I recovered from my nervousness.
"I, Li Teng, have lived in this world for more than twenty years and have never done anything harmful to nature. Why do you punish me like this?"
"That's not fair!"
"Besides, it's also very unscientific."
Li Teng held his head and felt depressed for a while before trying to calm down again.
It's already getting a little dark.
It looked like his first day at the top of the pillar was almost over.
The coming night seemed to give him an even more terrifying feeling.
How to face this long dark night?
The best way to deal with this kind of terror is to sleep.
Now he has no food to eat, no water to drink, no strength, and nothing else to do except sleep.
Maybe when you wake up again, you can really go back to your bedroom?
Since he can suddenly appear in such a ghost place when he wakes up, it may not necessarily happen that he returns to his bedroom when he wakes up again.
God and Buddha together wish me a safe return home!
Li Teng, who had never believed in gods and ghosts, crossed himself on his chest, clasped his hands together and recited a few words of 'Amitabha' before lying on the bed and falling asleep again.
It was slowly getting dark.
The moon didn't come out, maybe it was hiding behind the clouds.
When people are extremely hungry, their body cells lack sugar and energy, and they become inactive, which makes it easy for people to fall asleep.
It may also be a semi-coma in a low-sugar state.
However, after night fell, the top of the stone pillar became a little cold.
The thin quilt on the bed seemed unable to withstand the cold.
It’s so damn hot! It’s so hot during the day, but so cold at night.
Li Teng wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, curled up into a ball, and even buried his head in the quilt.
Hunger prevents the body from producing more heat. Even if you huddle up like this, you will still feel cold.
After a while, Li Teng felt a little stuffy under the quilt, so he poked his head out of the quilt.
The wind started blowing outside the quilt, and it felt very uncomfortable blowing on my head.
If you continue like this, will you catch a cold from the cold?
Getting a cold here is a hassle.
If you get pneumonia, you will die.
Li Teng recalled that he had read a popular science article before, which stated that according to scientific research, colds are caused by viruses, not cold. Cold only reduces people's resistance, making it easier for viruses to take advantage of it.
That's all.
There should be no viruses at such a high altitude, right?
Li Teng retracted his head into the quilt again.
Cold, hungry...
dark……
Li Teng, who was suffocated in the quilt, slowly became trance-like.
He longed for a sweet drink, even a glass of cold water.
He craves delicious food, even if it's just a pack of instant noodles.
Unfortunately, there was nothing. A glass of cold water and a pack of instant noodles were both a luxury for him now.
Li Teng felt that he was worse off than the homeless people sleeping under the overpass.
At least those homeless people can still go out to beg and pick up garbage to eat.
Now he doesn't even have to pick up trash.
I can only hold on tight.
Go to sleep! Go to sleep!
No matter what, there is a bed, right?
There are also quilts to keep out the cold.
If there was no such bed, wouldn't he have to sleep on the cold stone surface of the stone pillar?
That would be really miserable.
Well, it’s not too bad now, so I should be thankful.
People should be content and happy.
In a trance.
In a trance.
I don't know how long it took.
It doesn't seem like a long time.
The world outside the quilt suddenly became very bright, and then there was an explosion, which startled Li Teng out of his trance while hiding under the quilt.
It seemed like something had fallen scatteredly on the quilt.
Realizing that something was wrong, Li Teng quickly lifted the quilt and sat up.
"I...fuck!"
Seeing what was happening on the horizon, Li Teng cursed in despair.
There was lightning and thunder in the distance, and a large number of thunderstorm cumulonimbus clouds could be seen.
The most important thing is the direction of the wind!
Those thunderstorm cumulonimbus clouds are drifting here with the strong wind!
What fell on his quilt were large raindrops formed by scattered cumulonimbus clouds that had arrived earlier!
The wind was getting stronger and faster, and it was about to blow away the quilt on Li Teng's bed!
Li Teng's hungry body shivered with cold, and he watched helplessly as thunderstorm cumulonimbus clouds approached over his head in less than half a minute.
The scattered large raindrops quickly became denser, and in an instant, Li Teng's pajamas were soaked, and the pillows, quilts, and mattresses on his bed were all soaked!
"I'm so stupid! Are you going to kill them all like this?" Li Teng wiped the rain off his face and cursed at the sky.
Raindrops fell into Li Teng's open mouth, and more rainwater fell from high in the sky like a basin.
Li Teng suddenly realized something, and he didn't care about cursing. He opened his mouth quickly, put his hands together to catch the rain from the sky, held it to his mouth and drank a lot.
Although I was shivering from the cold, my body, which had been thirsty all day, was finally greatly relieved.
"Bang!!!"
There was another explosion, and a lightning arc that looked as thick as a thigh appeared not far from Li Teng.
The bright light blinded Li Teng for a moment, and the explosion made Li Teng's ears buzz, and he couldn't hear any other sounds for a while.
Li Teng was scared to death.
This lightning was very close to him. If it were any closer, he would be instantly scorched by the thunder!
The wet Optimus Pillar, which is more than a thousand meters high, acts as a super-large lightning rod in a thunderstorm!
What made Li Teng even more desperate was that the explosion not far away just now was just a prelude.
