Arctic survival, starting in hell at minus fifty degrees Celsius

Sun Chengwu keenly sensed that there was something here that he didn't know.

The person who had just spoken continued, "I have a feeling that things will be exposed. Sun Chengwu is back, and if he finds out, we're all probably going to be in big trouble."

Another person spoke up, "No, if we leave now, he will definitely send someone to look for us."

Besides, this place is the middle of nowhere, where can we run to?

The voice that was speaking was actually a man's.

Sun Chengwu thought of the scene of those two people hugging and kissing each other, his expression turned strange, and he suddenly felt a little nauseous.

Are these two messing around in Nantong?

The first person to speak said, "Didn't those Russians say something when they came last time?"

They have another camp over there.

And I remember Lao Diao saying that they also had a camp over there.

Let's bring enough food, and leave once the snow melts.

If they find out what we've done, do you think they'll let us off the hook?

Sun Chengwu initially thought the two men were talking about their business in Nantong.

After listening carefully for a while, he felt that something was wrong.

I didn't forbid them from messing around, did I?

What did these two do that made them afraid of being discovered?

The person who spoke later became a little anxious, "No, I'm not leaving. I told you from the beginning that you couldn't do that, but you wouldn't listen."

Now that you're scared, you want to drag me down with you? No way!

"In this freezing weather, if I go with you, I'll definitely die on the road."

The first person to speak raised their voice considerably, sounding somewhat anxious, "Why don't you believe me?"

Would I ever hurt you?

The food was what I saved up, and I also helped you with your work. Did you eat the meat I stole?

Now you're telling me that I did everything by myself.

Do you really think you can extricate yourself from this situation by then?

The person who spoke next covered his mouth, "Shut up, keep your voice down, do you want to die?"

The man who spoke first moved his hand away. "No one can hear us here, but I have to go back soon. Lao Luo has been keeping a close eye on things lately."

Think it over carefully. If you don't come with me, I'll leave on my own!

If they find out, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!

The person who spoke second panicked and grabbed him, saying, "No, you can't leave! What will I do if you leave?"

The person who spoke first ran out of patience, shook off his hand and said, "I said I would take you with me, but you didn't come, and now you're asking me what to do?"

What can I do?

"If I stay and die with you, will you be satisfied?"

Sun Chengwu heard a crying sound.

The person who spoke first saw the person who spoke after crying and stomped his feet in anger. He couldn't just leave him there. He yelled, "Stop crying! Hold it in! Do you want to get me killed?"

After a while, the person who spoke first finally gave in and yelled, "Alright, alright, stop crying. I won't leave for now, but I'll wait for you for a week at most. You take care of your mess at home!"

The man who spoke later agreed, "Okay, I will definitely explain it to my wife."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chengwu's mind went completely blank.

No, it's one thing to do things in Nantong, but one of them even has a family?

What's going on?

Sun Chengwu watched the two separate, the one who spoke first leaving first, while he cautiously looked around.

Sun Chengwu lay prone in the snow, his white polar bear coat blending seamlessly with the snow, making him difficult to spot under the cover of darkness.

He didn't notice and left.

The person who spoke later cried for a while, then slowly walked back.

Sun Chengwu thought of following them to see who they were, but suddenly realized that his hands and feet were numb from the cold.

I was so engrossed in watching the drama that I forgot I was lying in the snow.

Sun Chengwu tucked his hands into his sleeves and sat on the snow to warm them for a while before regaining his senses.

He followed the footprints back to the camp and found that one set of footprints led to the dormitory, while another set led to the small houses he had arranged for the couples.

It seems the last person to leave went to the small house.

There are three couples and a pair of sisters living in that house. Do you have to choose one of them?

Sun Chengwu is still unsure who they are at the dormitory.

However, from their conversation, it was clear that they had stolen something.

Sun Chengwu came to the warehouse for inspection.

They mainly store meat, krill, some green plants such as lichen and moss, as well as daily necessities.

There are a lot of things, and it's unrealistic to try to take inventory of them in a short time.

Especially now that new food items have been added, it's even harder to find them.

Without alerting the thieves, Sun Chengwu returned to his room and found Li Mu. "Li Mu, has there been any food theft lately?"

Li Mu said blankly, "No, I have people on duty at the warehouse every day, rotating every four hours. No one should be able to steal it."

Sun Chengwu asked, "What if it's embezzlement by someone in charge?"

This question stumped Li Mu.

He knew that Sun Chengwu wouldn't speak without reason; he must have heard something. He immediately said, "I'll go check right away."

Sun Chengwu stopped him, "If you investigate now, aren't you just telling them we know?"

If they stop stealing, how will you investigate?

Pretend you don't know anything for now; I'll have someone keep an eye on things during this time.

Li Mu slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing something, and said, "Okay."

Li Mu was not a good manager; he was indeed only suited for logistical work.

Sun Chengwu returned to his room, where Richard and the others had already woken up. They were playing cards, flicking each other's foreheads to determine the winners and losers.

In the short time he was gone, Guan Fulin had already lost more than two hundred times. He was covering his head, with a large bump on his forehead, looking like he had been hit quite hard.

When Guan Fulin saw Sun Chengwu, it was like seeing a savior. "Brother Wu, come on, I'm done playing."

Sun Chengwu shook his head. "Let's pause for a moment and talk about serious matters."

Brother Li, do you have any trustworthy subordinates?

Richard thought for a moment and said, "There are a few people who, while not exactly trustworthy, are reliable in their work."

Sun Chengwu said, "Have them keep an eye on the people on duty in the warehouse every day, and see who goes into the warehouse when they are on duty. I suspect someone is stealing things."

Richard frowned. "That can't be right. Although we don't give them much food each day, they shouldn't go hungry. At most, some of them have big appetites and can't eat their fill. Why would they steal things? They can't sell them for money here."

Sun Chengwu didn't explain much, "Just have someone keep an eye on things."

Richard agreed, "Okay."

After they finished chatting, Sun Chengwu watched them play cards and, feeling itchy to join in, said, "I'll play a couple of rounds too."

During the polar night, their working hours are greatly reduced, they can't hunt, the sea is frozen, and there's not much to do. Everyone stays in their rooms by the fire, playing cards or bragging to pass the time.

Sun Chengwu played until the afternoon, but he couldn't escape it either; his forehead was covered in horns that hurt when touched.
