Arctic survival, starting in hell at minus fifty degrees Celsius

When they returned, Sun Chengwu only took Williams and Madi with him, and quickened their pace.

Wang Hu and Lao Ma lagged behind.

This time he planned to bring enough supplies and also pick them up.

The room wasn't just occupied by Richard and Li Mu; Sun Chengwu had also called in Anisi, Baldy, and Xu Hui.

After Sun Chengwu explained his plan, Xu Hui immediately agreed, "Xiao Wu, I have no problem with that."

He had been very reserved since arriving at Sun Chengwu's camp.

He used to be a team leader, but now he's become a junior manager. This change in status isn't too bad; he can accept it.

However, after arriving here, he was taken care of by Sun Chengwu in every way, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Honest people aren't afraid of making sacrifices, but they are afraid of being treated well by others. If someone gives them a little, they will definitely return three times the amount.

So he agreed immediately without any hesitation.

The bald man didn't seem to have any objections. "I'm fine with it."

Anisi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How many people do you need?"

Sun Chengwu was prepared and replied, "A team should have at least six people."

Anisi frowned and asked, "Food..."

For these Russians, after being hungry for a long time, the first thing they think about when they go out is whether they will go hungry.

Sun Chengwu interrupted, "You don't need to worry about food; we have enough."

Anisi breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, then there's no problem."

Their thinking was simple: Sun Chengwu provided them with food and shelter, and they were simply employees.

Prioritizing the exchange of benefits before settling accounts can avoid many unnecessary troubles.

After these Russians arrived at the camp, the camp's tree-cutting efficiency greatly improved. They ate and were genuinely willing to work hard, just afraid of owing favors.

Sun Chengwu glanced at the bald man and Xu Hui, "I'll give you half an hour to finalize the selection. The requirements are that they can endure hardship, are strong, can withstand the cold, and have strong stress resistance."

I can say this upfront: some people will definitely die on this mission, and those who go must be prepared to die.

If anyone tries to quit or cause trouble halfway through, I will not show any mercy.

Everyone fell silent.

No one can justify sending their men to their deaths, nor do they have any reason to do so.

Sun Chengwu knew that no one would want to die, so he promised, "Everyone who goes there this time will be promoted to the management level of the team and enjoy the highest treatment after the new camp is established."

This trip was indeed dangerous, but it was also an opportunity; otherwise, they would have spent their entire lives as ordinary workers doing the most physically demanding jobs.

Now, I'm giving them a chance to turn things around.

The crowd looked at each other.

Anya laughed and said, "What you said is making me a little tempted. There's a saying in China: 'Take a chance, and you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.'"

Since ancient times, you Chinese have loved war, to achieve merit and gain official rank and title.

"Look at me, how am I?"

Anya is learning Chinese very quickly and has already learned to use idioms.

Sun Chengwu's policy of standardizing the written language was good; at least it eliminated barriers to communication between people from different countries.

Otherwise, they will never be able to unite as one.

Sun Chengwu glanced at him.

Anya is tall and strong, making her a good candidate.

But Sun Chengwu still shook his head, "You have to stay and take charge. If you and Baldy leave, I'm worried that your people will be left unmanaged."

Anya shrugged, a look of disappointment on her face. "That's a real shame."

Anya looked at the bald man and said, "Go and talk to the brothers. I believe some of them will be willing. At least from what I know, there are two people who are willing to join you."

Williams also stood up. "I'll go ask."

Li Mu and Richard exchanged a glance.

Sun Chengwu said, "Wang Hu and Lao Ma count as two people, Ma Di counts as Williams' side, and we'll send four more people."

Richard hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go ask."

Li Mu stood up first, put his hand on Richard's shoulder and said, "I'll take charge of the camp for now, I'll go."

Xu Hui hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Xiao Wu, I..."

Sun Chengwu looked at him and said, "Brother Hui, you can't go. Your indecisive personality will affect my decision-making."

Sun Chengwu didn't give him any face at all.

If we soften our stance at this point, we would be being irresponsible to the twenty-four people on this trip.

Xu Hui sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go ask."

Forty minutes later, all twenty-four people stood in front of Sun Chengwu.

Sun Chengwu scanned the crowd one by one and spotted several familiar faces.

Old Yang, Guan Fulin, and even Old Cai...

However, a few people surprised Sun Chengwu. He walked up to Zhou Xiaolian and asked, "What brings you here?"

Zhou Xiaolian puffed out her chest and asked, "Am I not good enough?"

Sun Chengwu said, "This is no joke, you stay!"

Zhou Xiaolian said defiantly, "Don't forget, it was I who led Brother Hui and the others to survive!"

If I could do it then, I can do it now!

Don't underestimate us women!

Zhou Xiaolian possesses an aura that is in no way inferior to that of a man.

Sun Chengwu cautioned, "If something happens, I won't take care of you just because you're a woman. The team won't stop for you during your period."

Zhou Xiaolian said calmly, "I haven't had my period for three months. In this kind of environment, quite a few people have already gone through menopause."

This was unexpected by Sun Chengwu.

He had read in a book that extreme conditions could cause women to experience delayed menstruation or even menopause.

He had never encountered this before.

I never expected to hear it from Zhou Xiaolian.

He nodded. "Okay, you can come along."

Sun Chengwu looked at the next person, his gaze sweeping over Li Mu, "What's going on with those two?"

Sun Chengwu was referring to Fang Wei and Sophia.

Li Mu looked up at the sky and said, "Ask them yourself."

Fang Wei said, "I've also gone through menopause. Lao Ma hasn't come back, and I'm worried about him."

And you promised me you would teach me survival skills, so I think this is a great opportunity.

I won't hold the team back. If I drag the team down, I'll quit voluntarily, and you can just leave me behind.

Sun Chengwu's face turned dark.

However, he couldn't refute what Fang Wei said.

Moreover, she mentioned Lao Ma.

Fang Wei has been with me for a long time and has a certain ability to protect herself, so it's not a bad idea to bring her along.

Sun Chengwu looked at Sophia, "And you?"

Sofia didn't show any fawning or obsequious expression today. Instead, she was dressed in military uniform with her hair tied in a ponytail, looking very capable.

He took the bow and arrows off his body, shook them, and said, "I'm a good shot; I can protect myself."

Sun Chengwu frowned deeply. "This is no child's play!"

Sofia confidently replied, "I have hunted black bears alone before. I am not just a pretty face. I want to take this opportunity to escape my fate as a slave and I want to become one of you."

Of course, if you want to keep sleeping, that's fine with me too. I'm also very interested in you.
