Arctic survival, starting in hell at minus fifty degrees Celsius

Bai Zhan originally wanted to have a good New Year's Day and give everyone some confidence.

However, it seems unlikely that we'll have a good New Year's Day.

Three days before New Year's Day, Sun Chengwu had basically completed all the preparations for the New Year, including food, activities, and parties, all of which were well arranged.

The group of women brought back from Zhou Jie's camp became much more obedient after being trained and disciplined by Li Ya.

Regardless of what they were thinking, at least outwardly they didn't dare to cause trouble.

Sun Chengwu made an exception and allowed them to come out and celebrate New Year's Day.

This has led to many men who haven't been with a woman for more than six months staring at them with hungry eyes.

Which of these women wasn't once high and mighty, pampered and coaxed by others?

Now, being stared at like a commodity, with such naked, undisguised gazes that seem to want to devour them alive, makes them feel extremely uncomfortable, as if their skin is covered in caterpillars.

But they dared not show it.

Li Ya had set a rule for them: if they dared to show any dissatisfaction in the camp, they would have to go back to the beach to catch fish.

They've been fishing all this time.

In Li Ya's words, during training, you have to give them the coolest and most tiring jobs so that they are scared and fearful, and then they will obediently listen to you.

As a result, their delicate hands were all cracked from the cold, and some of them even had chilblains all over their hands.

They knew Sun Chengwu was a doctor.

But Li Ya just wouldn't allow them to go to the doctor.

As long as there's no amputation, they can continue working.

Their hands were both sore and itchy. Some of their hands were completely cracked and dry, without bleeding. The skin and flesh had separated due to the cold, and the itching was unbearable. Scratching caused a sharp pain.

It's fair to say that for the past two months, they've been tormented by Li Ya to the point that they had to hold back their tears.

If Li Ya sees him crying, he will be punished.

So much so that when they came out, each of them had a numb look on their face.

Even when criticized or commented on, including about her figure, she showed no reaction whatsoever.

Sun Chengwu felt little pity for the women when he saw them like this.

If they were ordinary women, Sun Chengwu would not have treated them this way.

The problem is that they once seized Xu Hui's camp by usurping his territory, and even killed Li Daikui.

Are they pitiful?

Does he look rather pathetic now?

Is it hateful?

He was hateful from beginning to end.

If you dare to pity them, they will turn around and betray you.

Sun Chengwu didn't know how many of them were truly repentant, but repentance didn't mean that the past could be forgotten.

They were all beneficiaries of the system, and their current fate is simply a consequence of karma.

Sun Chengwu looked at the women and said in a deep voice, "This New Year's Day, I'm making an exception and letting you all spend it together."

If you are sincere in repenting, find someone you like, start a family, and live a good life, I will support you and help you.

But if you use your freedom as a pretext to harm the honest people under my command, don't blame me for being impolite.

I didn't forgive you for what happened last time because you are human beings, my compatriots, so I gave you a chance to live.

If there's another chance, I won't consider any sentimentality. I don't care if you're a woman or not; I'll handle it according to the rules.

Many of the women trembled, while others showed hope, wishing to find a suitable husband and escape their misery.

Sun Chengwu said, "Starting today, you will have two hours of free time every day to spend with yourselves."

You'll have a day off on New Year's Day.

The women remained silent.

Li Ya found two of the closest women, kicked them twice, making them kneel on the ground, and cursed in a shrill voice, "A bunch of little bitches, didn't you hear the boss shouting?"

"Did you hear me? Are you deaf?"

The women quickly shouted in unison, "Yes, we heard you! Thank you, boss!"

Li Ya scolded, "If you heard that, hurry up and go back to work. If you want to rest, finish your work first."

Anyone who slows down the progress is slowing down the entire team, so get your work done faster!

When Sun Chengwu saw Li Ya, he felt like he was seeing Rong Momo from "My Fair Princess".

However, he does need such a capable woman by his side.

By the time the women finished their work, it was past lunchtime.

In order to get a two-hour break, their work efficiency greatly improved.

This gave Li Ya an excuse to teach them a lesson: "You finished so quickly today. You usually dawdle and procrastinate. Are you trying to slack off?"

Starting tomorrow, the workload will be increased!

The women were ashen-faced, but none of them dared to resist.

Someone once tried to resist and argued with Li Ya, but Li Ya grabbed his hair and held him underwater on the spot.

This is water from the Arctic Ocean.

I pressed my head down for a minute and then pulled it up. My entire face was frostbitten, and my face started to break out in rashes after that. Even after it healed, it left behind terrifying scars.

Since then, no one has dared to provoke Li Ya.

When Sun Chengwu found out, he could only sigh that Li Ya was very capable and had no soft heart.

They treated the male prisoners who came to the camp earlier much more ruthlessly.

Sun Chengwu has done things like pulling out fingernails and smashing toes.

What he wanted was an obedient team, and he only needed one voice.

In such a desperate situation, two voices will only lead the team to destruction.

When they finally have some time to rest, most women choose to go to sleep.

However, a few women also walked towards the men's dormitory.

Their arrival attracted the attention of many men.

Men choose women, and women choose men; they become a couple that very day.

They seem to be in love and like each other, but they both know in their hearts that what the man wants is sex, and what the woman wants is freedom.

In dire straits, which is more important: self-interest or personal feelings?

Some people choose profit, some choose feelings; there is no right or wrong, only choices.

Sun Chengwu kept his promise and immediately exempted the woman from all her crimes and labor, but with one condition: if anything happened, the couple would be jointly liable.

If they restrain each other, we won't need to put in too much effort to supervise them.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhan's situation was not going well.

As New Year's Day approached, another major incident occurred at Bai Zhan's campsite: while someone was fishing, the ice suddenly broke and the ice fell into the lake.

No one around offered any help, and the person eventually suffered from hypothermia due to the cold and then drowned.

From the moment he fell into the water until his death, everyone just watched.

When Bai Zhan learned of this, he flew into a rage. He glared at Liu Xingming and roared, "When did our camp become like this?"

If you don't even save your companions who have fallen into the water, who will save them if something happens at the camp in the future?

They're all a disorganized mess!
