Arctic survival, starting in hell at minus fifty degrees Celsius

Ollie knew what Sun Chengwu was worried about, and nodded, "Yes, it's been sent out."

But they told me not to have too high hopes.

The note was merely being sent to the mainland through them; whether it would actually reach the intended recipient was uncertain, and the uncertainty was too great.

Sun Chengwu understood what Ollie meant: "This is already the best possible outcome."

Whatever happens next, I'm prepared.

After a long while, Giroud and the others also came over.

Giroud gave Sun Chengwu a big hug. "Brother, I've missed you so much!"

Sun Chengwu's Russian is now fluent. "I missed you too. I'm so glad you came back safely, otherwise no one would take me hunting."

Giroud patted his chest and said, "In a few days, I'll take you out to sea to hunt seals, and show you what it's like to be a descendant of Vikings!"

Sun Chengwu agreed, "Okay, it's a deal."

Sun Chengwu then looked at the two brothers, Haver and Harry.

Harry greeted him, "Welcome."

Sun Chengwu also offered his congratulations, saying, "Congratulations on your safe return."

The two sides weren't familiar with each other and had even had conflicts before, so a few pleasantries were enough.

The clan chief didn't come over, and Sun Chengwu guessed that he was probably giving them time to get together.

In the evening, Su Wanqing and Sophia helped Ollie's mother prepare a large meal.

In their custom, stinky sea swallows are served to guests because they are difficult to make and are rich in various vitamins and nutrients, making them a very precious food for them.

Considering that Sun Chengwu and the others wouldn't be used to the food, they ultimately abandoned the idea.

Sun Chengwu also asked Wang Hu and the others to take out the gifts they brought. Fifty catties of krill were left for Ollie's family, and the rest were given to Ollie. "This small portion is for your family."

This larger portion can be given to the clan chief.

Ollie opened the package and saw it was full of krill. He exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"

Sun Chengwu smiled and said casually, "I've made a little money recently. This isn't much, but if you want more, there's more."

That night, even Haver and Harry made an exception and stayed at Ollie's house.

With Wang Hu around, the atmosphere never gets cold.

This guy inherited the unique humor of Northeasterners, making self-deprecating jokes and banter one after another. Although they couldn't communicate in the same language, he still made the Hadza people laugh heartily.

Happiness can be conveyed without words.

After playing around, everyone cleaned up the dishes and prepared to rest.

Because there were too many people, Sun Chengwu and the others did not stay at Aoli's house, but followed the clan chief's arrangement and went to a new place to live.

Sun Chengwu originally planned to go back together the next day.

However, because Giroud, Ollie, and the others were so enthusiastic, they stayed for a few more days.

The next morning, Giroud and Ollie woke up Sun Chengwu and the others.

Giroud's cold hand pressed down on Sun Chengwu's neck and he shouted, "Wake up, get up, we're going to hunt seals."

Sun Chengwu jumped out of bed in an instant, seeing that Giru and Ollie were already packed and ready to leave.

However, there were too many of them, so Sun Chengwu only chose Lao Ma and Ye Zhi Qiu to accompany him, while the others stayed in the village.

Wang Hu, Williams, and Ma Di.

Sun Chengwu could not trust the latter of the three men, and the former was too reckless and prone to accidents at sea.

But when Lao Ma approached Sun Chengwu, he hesitated to speak, "Um, boss, I want to stay."

Sun Chengwu asked, "What's wrong?"

Old Ma leaned close to Sun Chengwu's ear and whispered, "I want to spend some time with Fang Wei."

As the saying goes, it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage.

Even if there's no possibility between them, Sun Chengwu still gave Lao Ma face, saying, "Alright, let Xiao Ye come with me. You stay here and keep an eye on them. I can rest assured then."

He gave Lao Ma a way out.

Old Ma was extremely grateful. "Boss, thank you!"

Sun Chengwu and Ye Zhiqi got dressed and left the room with Giru and Ollie.

They arrived at Giroud's house, where Giroud tossed two airbags to Sun Chengwu, saying, "Inflate them and tie them around your waist. These things can save your life if you fall into the water."

Sun Chengwu never hesitated to do things that could save lives. He blew on the wound thoroughly, tied it around his waist, and checked it multiple times.

Then, Giroud, carrying a bundle of harpoons, said, "Take these with you."

He then took a bundle of thick, heavy rope and handed it to Sun Chengwu, saying, "Take these too."

Finally, they opened a large box containing fresh water and dried meat.

He said to Ollie, "Come on, help me carry this."

The group carried a heavy load and walked eastward along the village.

A cold wind blew in my face, and the snow-covered road under my feet had frozen into ice. I could easily slip and fall if I wasn't careful.

When he fell to the ground again, Sun Chengwu couldn't help but ask himself a profound question: why was he here instead of getting a good night's sleep?

The further he went, the more regretful Sun Chengwu became.

Until, they saw a ship ahead.

Giroud said, "First, help me turn the boat over, then put everything on the boat, and we'll push it onto the ice."

The four of them worked together, shouting, "One, two, three!"

The boat flipped over, bottom facing down.

Then, they put their things away and pushed the boat onto the ice together.

Upon reaching the edge of the ice, Giroud first used his oars to push aside all the nearby ice floes before launching the boat into the water.

The ship was more than a meter above the ice, and Giroud jumped off, causing the ship to sway from side to side.

This is a small boat that is over five meters long, about three meters wide, and has a draft of about eighty centimeters.

Ollie had grown up on a boat and was used to it, so he jumped on as well.

Sun Chengwu glanced at Ye Zhi Qiu.

Ye Zhi Qiu was also a bit timid.

Sun Chengwu thought to himself, as the eldest brother, I can't be more cowardly than my younger brother, can I?

He sat on the ice and jumped off.

However, he underestimated his balance, and as soon as his foot touched the bottom of the boat, the boat began to rock violently.

The more Sun Chengwu tried to control his balance, the more violently the boat rocked.

The more violently he swayed, the less stable he became, and the more frightened he became. His body tensed up even more as he tried to regain his balance.

Fortunately, Giroud and Ollie grabbed him and kept shouting in his ear, "Relax, relax, don't strain!"

Despite his fear, Sun Chengwu chose to trust them, slowly relaxed his body, and handed over his balance to them.

The next moment, the boat stopped rocking and gradually stabilized.

Ollie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You can't fight against the hull; you have to go with it. As long as your feet are firmly planted on the hull, no matter how much it rocks, you won't fall into the water."

Sun Chengwu is from Northeast China and is a landlubber; he has never been in contact with water since childhood.

Even when bathing in the river, I've only ever gone into water up to chest depth.

I've never ridden a boat, except for those little pedal duck boats at the beach.

Ollie's words were simple, but for him, they were very difficult.
