Sun Chengwu observed Ye Zhiqi's complexion. His face was flushed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as soon as he entered the room.

This is because the body cools down by sweating rapidly.

Sun Chengwu unbuttoned Ye Zhiqiu's clothes and placed his hand on his neck, which was frighteningly hot.

"Xiao Ye!"

Sun Chengwu called him, and he mumbled a "hmm" in a daze, his lips moving slightly, but there was almost no response.

Sun Chengwu immediately turned around and shouted, "Where's the towel!"

Su Wanqing stood behind him and handed him a warm towel.

Sun Chengwu helped Ye Zhiqi wipe the sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Make sure it's cold."

Su Wanqing then collected some snow and put it in a basin of water.

As the snow melts, the water temperature drops.

Sun Chengwu was also busy during this time, taking off all of Ye Zhiqiu's clothes.

Su Wanqing handed over a cool towel at just the right moment.

Sun Chengwu took it and helped Ye Zhiqi wipe his forehead, armpits, and sides of his ribs to help him cool down quickly.

"Cough cough cough..."

Ye Zhi Qiu coughed violently.

He had a lot of phlegm in his throat, and his breathing was very noticeable.

Sun Chengwu's expression tightened, and he quickly pulled Ye Zhiqi up, letting him rest his chin on his shoulder, and patted his back forcefully.

"Cough cough cough... vomit..."

Ye Zhi Qiu coughed up a large mouthful of thick phlegm, which contained a lot of blood.

He said weakly, "Brother Wu, am I really useless?"

You're all fine, but I have a fever, and it's quite high.

Sun Chengwu scolded irritably, "Who in the camp hasn't caught a cold? Don't overthink it, you'll be fine."

Eating more meat every day and having a better mindset are better than anything else.

I'll have someone call your sister over to take care of you later. Think of your family, you have to hold on!

Don't forget, you still owe me a life.

I won't let you die. Even if you're torn to pieces, you'll grit your teeth and bear it!

Ye Zhi Qiu weakly replied, "Okay... Brother Wu, I'll listen to you."

Just then, Ataya brought in a bowl of hot meat soup from outside the door. The meat had been cooked into a paste, and a thick layer of oil floated on top of the soup.

Sun Chengwu blew on it and personally fed it to Ye Zhi Qiu, "Drink!"

Ye Zhi Qiu stubbornly said, "Brother Wu, I can manage on my own..."

Sun Chengwu cursed, "You're nothing! Drink up!"

Sun Chengwu forcefully placed the soup spoon near Ye Zhiqiu's mouth.

Ye Zhi Qiu took a sip.

This wasn't the first time Sun Chengwu had taken care of patients. During his internship, he was assigned to the geriatrics department at the hospital, where he had to personally feed and hydrate them every day, and also clean up their excrement and urine.

He was used to this kind of thing.

Ye Zhi Qiu had a hard life since childhood. Even when he was sick, he could only get an injection in his buttocks and then tough it out.

Sun Chengwu was of a higher status than him and personally took care of him, which made him feel flattered.

Ye Zhi Qiu drank with trepidation, even though it was scalding hot, he quickly swallowed it.

After drinking the hot soup, Ye Zhi Qiu's complexion improved significantly.

Sun Chengwu instructed, "The most important thing for you right now is to rest well. I will arrange for someone to take care of you. If you don't listen to me, I will tell your sister."

Ye Zhi Qiu was most worried about his family and didn't want them to worry about him, so he quickly agreed, "Brother Wu, I'll listen to you. Don't tell my sister."

Sun Chengwu said, "Then I'll have Lao Cai come over."

Upon hearing the name Lao Cai, Ye Zhi Qiu's face turned green. "No way! Even if I die, I don't need him to take care of me!"

Sun Chengwu said, "He has been good to your family, and he has always kept his promise to keep his distance from your sister and has not touched her at all."

Ye Zhi Qiu's face showed pain.

Sun Chengwu advised, "I'm not asking you to accept him, after all, this kind of May-December romance is indeed hard for people to accept."

But from any perspective, he has been kind to your family.

He kept his promise; arguing with him is pointless.

Ye Zhi Qiu thought for a long time before nodding, "Brother Wu, you're right, but I can't just accept him like this."

Sun Chengwu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll call him over, and you two can spend some time together."

This time, Ye Zhi Qiu did not refuse.

Sun Chengwu arranged for someone to call Lao Cai over.

Since Lao Cai and Ye Zhi Qiu's families became closer, the work that Rogers assigned to him has become much easier.

Old Cai transformed himself from a manual laborer into a skilled worker.

When it comes to reading between the lines, Rogers is second to none.

When Lao Cai heard the news that Ye Zhi Qiu was seriously ill, he rushed over in a hurry, without even wiping the frost off his face.

He took off his gloves, his breath steaming in the air, and asked anxiously, "What happened, Xiao Ye? How are you feeling?"

His anxious expression was genuine, and Ye Zhi Qiu couldn't very well slap a smiling face, so she said coldly, "It's alright, you won't die."

Old Cai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that he's not dead."

He wasn't good with words, and his words made Ye Zhi Qiu glare at him angrily.

Unaware of what was happening, Lao Cai suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Sun Chengwu, saying, "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss. Our Ye family owes you another life."

This unexpected turn of events left everyone stunned.

Sun Chengwu quickly helped him up, "Old Cai, you're kneeling before me at your age, are you trying to shorten my lifespan?"

Old Cai realized what had happened and quickly slapped himself in the face. "Oh dear, look at the mess I made, boss, I'm so sorry."

Sun Chengwu said, "Don't tell anyone that Ye Zhiqiu is sick. You will take care of him during this time."

Old Cai readily agreed, "Okay! Don't worry, boss!"

Sun Chengwu nodded. "Xiao Ye, focus on getting better. I'll be going now."

Ye Zhi Qiu asked worriedly, "Brother Wu, once I'm better, I'll go with you to find a campsite again..."

Sun Chengwu nodded. "Okay, you're all set. I'll definitely take you there."

Leaving the room, Sun Chengwu stepped into the cold wind, where snowflakes were falling from the sky, growing larger and larger.

It's snowing again.

Snowfall is very common in the Arctic; snowflakes fall daily. When they talk about snowfall, they mean heavy snowfall.

These heavy snowfalls often last for more than half a month, or even one or two months, during which time they can hardly move an inch.

Even after the snow stops, the accumulated snow makes travel difficult.

Sun Chengwu looked up at the dark sky, took a deep breath, and made a risky decision.

He returned to his room, took off his clothes, brushed off the snow, and said to everyone, "Tomorrow, we'll go back to the Ice Lake."

Richard frowned. "Xiao Wu, this snow is too heavy, it's too dangerous. Why don't we wait a bit?"

Li Mu also advised, "Yes, Xiao Wu, if you encounter danger... the morale in the camp will collapse."

Sun Chengwu shook his head and said decisively, "It's precisely because of the snow that we must set off immediately. Otherwise, as the snow gets heavier, the time lost could lead to new unforeseen events."

We cannot gamble.

This time I won't be taking just one team. Don't worry, I'll be bringing Hui-ge and Baldy along, plus Williams, making four teams in total.
