People who often work at high intensity must have had this experience.
When you are immersed in work, your mind is solely focused on work, ignoring everything else. Even if you've been working for over a dozen hours straight, and you can barely hold on, you still won't feel too exhausted.
But if you stop what you're doing at this moment, all the negative sensations you hadn't noticed earlier will surge up and overwhelm you.
At this point, your craving for cigarettes will flare up, and you'll need to smoke a cigarette.
Your craving for alcohol will flare up, and you'll need to have a drink.
Your addiction to criticism will flare up, and you'll need to spend a few days in a detention center.
You'll feel sleepy, hungry, and thirsty, eager to meet all the needs you've missed during work hours.
Li Zheng is like this now. He pushed his body too hard, and while he was still immersed in battle, he managed to ignore the discomfort in his body.
