Arctic survival, starting in hell at minus fifty degrees Celsius

Sun Chengwu neither provoked the brown bear nor sought out the black man's companions.

But when it got dark, the black man's companions came looking for him on their own.

The white girl in charge of the negotiations appeared to be just an adult. She stepped forward timidly, avoiding eye contact with Sun Chengwu and the others.

Sun Chengwu keenly noticed that she had many bruises on her body, which did not look like they were from a fall or scrape, but rather from being hit or pinched.

Combining this with the way the white girl was ostracized during their last meeting, Sun Chengwu roughly understood.

This white girl is most likely the target of their bullying.

The white girl asked cautiously, "Could you please take us in? We promise we won't cause any trouble. We just need some food. We'll do whatever you ask us to do."

After she finished speaking, she subconsciously glanced back at the Black woman, her eyes filled with fear, her shoulders clenched, and she looked somewhat timid.

Sun Chengwu asked calmly, "Is this your idea, or their idea?"

The white girl wanted to say it was their idea, but the black woman suddenly coughed at that moment.

The white girl was startled, shivered instantly, and said in a trembling voice, "It was my idea."

Sun Chengwu nodded and said, "Okay, then I agree."

The white girl didn't look happy. The black woman grabbed her, pulled her behind her, and winked at Sun Chengwu, "Handsome, you made the right decision. You'll find we're great partners."

Seeing the Black woman's seductive eyes made Sun Chengwu feel nauseous.

He said to the white girl, "Come here."

The white girl's face was deathly pale.

Seeing her dawdling, the Black woman suddenly grabbed her arm and roughly pulled her in front of Sun Chengwu.

She bluntly stated, "If you like her, she's yours tonight."

Don't worry, she won't dare to resist. We'll teach her a lesson.

The white girl had tears in her eyes, bit her lower lip, and kept her head down without saying a word.

Sun Chengwu asked, "What's your name?"

The white girl whispered, "Juliana."

Sun Chengwu nodded. "Juliana, what can you do?"

She whispered, "I... my father is a carpenter, and I know how to build furniture and houses with wood, but I don't have much experience."

I...I got separated from my father; he was a very famous carpenter.

Sun Chengwu originally thought she was just a pretty face, but he didn't expect her to be a carpenter.

He quickly asked, "Will the house be built?"

He pointed to the foundation next to him.

Juliana glanced to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Sun Chengwu encouraged him, "Don't worry, I won't blame you."

Juliana pondered for a moment and said, "Well... the idea is good, but once it's built, it might not be able to keep out the wind."

The wind is too strong and it's very cold here. Laying dry grass on the stone foundation is not very useful as it can't retain heat.

You probably intended to use mortise and tenon joints to build the walls, but that won't keep out the cold wind.

My suggestion is to make it into a triangular structure, fill the walls with hay, seal it with pine resin, and then carbonize the wood to raise its ignition point and prevent fires caused by flames..."

Juliana spoke at length, and Sun Chengwu's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He knew he had struck gold!

Sun Chengwu interrupted Juliana and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Juliana looked a little confused and asked, "Huh?"

Before she could react, the Black woman stepped forward and pulled Juliana behind her again, the movement so forceful it nearly threw her off.

"We're hungry! We're so hungry!"

Sun Chengwu frowned and asked irritably, "Did I speak to you?"

The Black woman's face looked rather unpleasant; her already dark complexion was now even darker, like the bottom of a pot.

She stared at the meat cooking in the tin can on the grill, licked her lips, and finally suppressed her temper, turning around to vent her anger on Juliana. "They're asking you a question, are you deaf?"

Juliana climbed out of the snowdrift, tears streaming down her face, and shook her head violently.

Seeing this, the Black woman smiled again. "Look, she's not hungry. We give her all the food from our team, so she's never short of food."

We are very hungry; we haven't eaten in a long time.

The curly-haired black man, miraculously still alive, stepped forward and said, "If you're willing to give us food, we can do something for you for free."

Sun Chengwu raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips, and asked, "Anything is fine?"

They were blinded by hunger, or perhaps they hadn't thought that far ahead, or more likely, they never intended to keep their promise at all, answering without hesitation, "Anything is fine!"

Sun Chengwu pointed to the woods and the stone axes on the ground and said, "Go and cut down trees. There are three of you. If you cut down forty logs, I will give you food."

The curly-haired black man counted the number of people and asked, "There are four of us."

Sun Chengwu repeated himself, "You three are Black, except for the white girl. I'll arrange for her to do something else."

The Black woman suddenly realized what was happening, glaring fiercely at Juliana. "You bitch, you're lucky. You can get food just by spreading your legs!"

Sun Chengwu did not offer an explanation.

Juliana stepped forward, mustered her courage, and asked, "Can...can I go cut down trees too?"

I...I can do it.

Her voice trembled; it had taken all her courage to say those words.

Sun Chengwu shook his head. "No."

Juliana's tears welled up and she covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably.

The Black woman looked at her and couldn't help but curse, "You bitch, what are you crying for? If you don't want something this good, I'll do it!"

Sun Chengwu glanced at her plump body, and thinking of that image, he suddenly couldn't help but gag.

This really hurt the Black woman's pride.

But she didn't dare to lay a hand on Sun Chengwu, since she still needed his help.

She secretly vowed that once she ate something and regained her strength, she would make the two men in the camp lick her toes all night long.

She could only vent her anger on Juliana again, striding over and raising her hand to slap Juliana's face.

But as soon as she raised her hand, Sun Chengwu grabbed it.

She turned her head and met Sun Chengwu's icy gaze.

That look in her eyes reminded her of a time when she was a child, facing a thug on the street.

That thug has killed people.

The Black woman chuckled. "Hey, I just thought she was being disobedient and I was going to teach her a lesson for you."

Sun Chengwu said coldly, "I don't need your meddling. If you have the energy, cut down another tree."
