Arctic survival, starting in hell at minus fifty degrees Celsius

If you want to cultivate culture, the first step is to break down his psychological defenses.

The young man with curly hair trembled with fear as he looked at the knife. His groin felt hot and wet. He cried out in terror, "What are you going to do? Give me a quick death if you dare! You… ah!"

Sun Chengwu's knife was already stuck in his eye socket.

Sun Chengwu slowly rotated the knife handle.

The knife scraped against the bone in the eye socket, making a squeaking sound.

To an outsider, the sound was just a friction sound.

But to the young curly-haired man, it sounded like a voice coming directly from his head.

Overwhelmed by pain and fear, the young man with curly hair broke down on the spot, struggling and screaming, "Spare me, spare me, I was wrong, I won't do it again!"

Sun Chengwu stopped and asked, "Who are the other two people?"

The young curly-haired man gasped for breath, and after only a slight hesitation, Sun Chengwu twisted the knife handle again.

"what!"

The young, curly-haired boy screamed in pain, yelling, "It's Kurt and Mars! Stop spinning! Stop spinning! It hurts!"

Sun Chengwu turned to look at Wang Hu, "Go, arrest them."

After a while, Wang Hu returned and said, "The person has run away."

Sun Chengwu nodded. "It seems it's them. In that case..."

His gaze fell on the young curly-haired man, and with a sudden burst of strength, the knife pierced his brain.

The young, curly-haired man's body stiffened and he stopped moving.

Many people witnessed this scene and felt their hair stand on end.

No one wants to suffer such punishment.

Sun Chengwu stood up and, as if nothing had happened, said to everyone, "There's snow all around. They couldn't have escaped without leaving a trace. Whoever finds them will be rewarded with twenty catties of meat."

Twenty pounds of meat is enough for one person to eat for half a month.

Many people are envious.

However, some clear-headed people broke out in a cold sweat.

Is a human life only worth twenty pounds of meat?

A pig weighs more than 20 jin (10 kg).

Human life is less valuable than that of animals.

Sun Chengwu wasn't always this ruthless. Sometimes, if you're not a little ruthless, you can't control these people with ulterior motives.

Today, three young curly-haired men could assassinate him.

If he doesn't use swift and decisive measures to suppress those with ulterior motives and instill fear in them, then even more people will want to kill him tomorrow.

He was just trying to protect himself.

Sun Chengwu didn't take the matter to heart; when you're in a higher position, your thoughts change.

He had long anticipated that someone would be dissatisfied with him, but he hadn't expected the assassination to come so slowly. This was why he always kept Wang Hu, Ye Zhi Qiu, or Lao Ma by his side.

Sun Chengwu guessed that there might still be people in the crowd who wanted to assassinate him, but they just didn't put it into practice.

He doesn't care.

Having learned from this experience, he believed these people would seriously consider whether he could succeed.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Sun Chengwu didn't care what others thought; he only cared about what they did.

Even if he mentally massacred all eighteen generations of his ancestors, without saying it aloud, Sun Chengwu would never guess.

If you can't live in constant fear, then life would be pointless.

However, after this ordeal, no one was sleepy anymore.

Sun Chengwu had originally planned to leave in the next couple of days, but with this incident, he couldn't leave immediately.

He needs to wait until those two people are caught, otherwise people will think he's scared.

In the following days, Sun Chengwu frequently appeared in everyone's sight, reassuring them that he was not afraid and would not leave.

After being surrounded and pursued by the crowd, Kurt and Mars were finally captured at 7 p.m. on the second day.

Ironically, they were discovered by their former close friend, a middle-aged American man.

Sun Chengwu gave the man fifty catties of meat in front of everyone, and publicly instructed Darss to make his future work as easy as possible. He also arranged a separate place for him to live, so that he would no longer have to squeeze with everyone else.

Although there are many houses in the camp, for the sake of management, these people all sleep in one house at night.

Sun Chengwu understood that many things cannot be said; they must be tangible and visible.

His approach was to tell everyone that as long as they were obedient and worked hard, they would have meat to eat, a place to live, and women.

The reward is over, it's time for punishment.

Kurt and Mars knelt before Sun Chengwu, they were so weak from hunger that their bodies trembled constantly.

Sun Chengwu walked past them and asked, "Why did you want to kill me?"

Whose idea was this?

Kurt, a thin, middle-aged man in his forties, replied in a trembling voice filled with extreme fear, "It was...it was Will's idea."

Mars quickly chimed in, "Yes, it was Will's idea. He's the one who called us here."

They knew they would be arrested, so they insisted it was Will and shifted the blame onto him.

Sun Chengwu was only asking rationally; he wasn't asking on his own behalf, but on behalf of others.

He could have just killed both of them. The interrogation is just a formality, a way to warn other foreigners not to get any ideas.

Regulations are always made to make the lower classes obey; they cannot restrain those in power.

So Sun Chengwu didn't ask too many questions. "Now that Will is dead, there's no way to verify anything. I'll just assume he was the mastermind."

Is there anything else you'd like to say?

The two looked at each other, both somewhat at a loss.

Knowing they couldn't escape, they prepared many excuses over the past three days, but Sun Chengwu didn't ask. Did he expect them to say it themselves?

They didn't discuss this matter at all.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Sun Chengwu smiled and said, "If you're not going to say anything, then I'll assume you have nothing to say."

"Wang Hu, kill them."

He deliberately spoke in English so that these foreigners could understand him.

Wang Hu, who didn't understand English, asked, "Boss, what did you say?"

Wang Hu couldn't understand it, but Kurt and Mars could.

They were so scared they almost peed themselves.

At this point, they didn't care about what they had discussed before; saving their own lives was the priority.

Mars was the first to speak, pointing at Kurt and saying, "It was him, he brought it up first, not me!"

Before Kurt could speak, Mars interrupted, yelling, "You said it! Don't try to pin this on me!"

Seeing them fighting like dogs, Sun Chengwu said in Chinese this time, "Wang Hu, drag them to the beach and dig a nest."

Wang Hu walked towards them, one in each hand, dragging them by their collars towards the sea.

Seeing that death was imminent, the two stopped arguing and cried out for mercy, "Boss, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me, I won't do it again, I'll do anything you ask..."

Sun Chengwu looked at them coldly, without making any move.
