Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Razer drank it without changing his expression, completely ignoring Jessica, whose face turned red just from smelling it, and turned to look at Meteorite and Frostleaf.

Not only them, but the other Yetis also took out their treasured drinks and shared them with the Rhodes Island operators. With the help of alcohol, the excavation process increased at a visible speed.

Amiya's eyes widened with curiosity as she considered including spirits in the supplies for the action team in the future. After all, the cost of vodka was negligible compared to the increased efficiency of these "tools".

Hmm, I'll talk to the professor about it later, and I think he'll agree.

“Little rabbit, you don’t want to drink too, do you?” Petrova, completely unaware of the ruthless capitalist’s thoughts, assumed Amiya was also eager to try. “You’re not even as old as Yang, you absolutely can’t touch these things! As for you, I’ll tell Big Sister about this.”

"Before you say that, wipe your mouth clean. You drank a third of my stock in one gulp. Do you think you can absolve yourself of any responsibility?"

"That's right, our eldest sister clearly forbids drinking alcohol during battles and marches, but we haven't even started a war yet!"

"I think you all need a good talking to. With the eldest sister not around, it's my duty as the adjutant to properly correct your behavior..."

Enraged, the female yeti unleashed astonishing fighting power, eliciting bursts of laughter.

"Something seems to have collapsed in my mind. Are these unreliable people really the nightmare of the northwestern tundra of Ursus? I can't accept it!" Looking at the bottle handed to her, Frostleaf hesitated slightly, but still took it and took a big gulp.

That was awesome!

……

Qin Duanyu also had her views overturned.

After scolding him, Froststar stared at him fiercely until he felt uncomfortable, then slowly said, "Liar, help me up! How long are you going to let me lie here? You're so slow to react. You're not just trying to pick up girls with your looks, are you?"

"Huh? What? You can't move?" Qin Duanyu took several steps back before asking in confusion.

Although nothing happened between the two, the girl's gaze just now was exactly like the way Blue Poison and Melantha looked at him with complicated feelings after their dreams were exposed and their hopes were completely shattered. This directly awakened the deepest fear in his soul.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy, he was terrified that Froststar would suddenly retaliate and beat him on the head.

“That’s right, from my fingertips to my neck, my whole body is paralyzed. I can only move my head and neck right now, otherwise I would have already punched you.” Froststar said irritably when she saw him still standing there in a daze. “But don’t have any unrealistic ideas. I can still freeze you to death in an instant if I just move my tongue slightly.”

"Sorry, I was thinking about something." Qin Duanyu nodded quickly and cautiously approached Shuangxing.

"Feeling guilty? I thought scammers were all mentally strong, or have you done too many bad things that you panicked at the slightest scare?" Froststar chuckled and teased casually.

"No, it's just that you look completely different now than you did in the village. It's... beyond my comprehension." Qin Duanyu was slightly taken aback when her guess was correct, before explaining helplessly.

Where's the aloof girl I was promised? I can't accept this!

When she was forced to follow the Yetis, she appeared calm, composed, and subtly dignified, perfectly embodying the persona of a princess who commands the Yetis, a powerful Infected warrior, and a pillar of the Reunion Movement.

However, Frostnova now seems no different from the girls on Rhodes Island, and for some reason, she feels... kind of cute.

"Do you really think we sprang from ice like the rumors say? Before becoming so-called Yetis, we were all just ordinary infected people, no, just ordinary people!"

Can you tell me about your situation?

"So, you're finally going to use your persuasive skills, relying on the girl's memories of the past to reveal her vulnerable side, and then take the opportunity to win her over?"

There must be something wrong with this; my Frostnova can't possibly be this cute!

Chapter 50, Section 333: Doctor, would you like some candy?

Although she teased Qin Duanyu a few times, it was unclear whether it was because she thought of that face that was almost exactly according to her aesthetic standards, or because they were alone in a confined space, which made her lower her guard a little, or because she was impressed by the Rhodes Island doctor's abilities, or perhaps she simply wanted to confide in someone.

In short, Froststar began to recount her past in a calm and detached tone.

Frostnova was born after her parents were arrested and imprisoned in a mine in the northwest for opposing Ursus' wartime strategy. Lacking protective equipment, they unsurprisingly became infected.

In the following years, her parents and grandmother drew black lots and were killed by the mine garrison. Just a year later, Frostnova also drew a black lot and was saved by the guerrillas led by Patriot when she was almost killed.

Next, she wandered across the northwestern tundra, where the survivors of the former mines became Yetis, feared by the local garrison. She was also known as the Yeti's princess because of her powerful Originium Arts.

"I see. I never imagined you and those idiots had such a past... That Patriot was truly remarkable." Qin Duanyu listened quietly to Shuangxing's explanation before finally letting out a sigh.

Even the not-so-bad-natured Shattered Bones, after his time in the mines, and with Talulah's intentional or unintentional guidance, became a fanatic blinded by hatred. Mephisto, needless to say, became someone even more deserving of being called a demon than the Sarkaz.

Frostnova and the Yetis, who also harbor deep resentment, were able to uphold their principles and not turn from warriors into murderers, even in the context of the Reunion Movement where hatred suppressed reason. Their inherent kindness played a part, but the patriotism they embodied during their growth also had an undeniable role to play.

"He's just an old stubborn man. I didn't get to where I am today because of his protection!" Froststar's expression was like that of a rebellious girl.

"I understand, I understand. The younger generation's views are clashing with the older generation, right?" Qin Duanyu shrugged, roughly guessing the reason for White Rabbit's expression. "Try to be more considerate of the older generation when you have time, even though you clearly care about him a lot..."

He clearly remembered the excitement and joy in Froststar's eyes when he gave her the respirator repair blueprints that night.

“You don’t understand at all. The problem between me and that old stubborn man is definitely not… Never mind, I’m a little tired after talking for so long. Could you do me a small favor and put your hand under my coat…” Froststar paused intentionally at this point.

"No, no, this is too fast." Qin Duanyu shook his head vigorously and said righteously. If his hand hadn't been hanging in mid-air, he would have looked even more like a gentleman. "But if you insist, I can reluctantly accept it. After all, you can kill me at any time. Circumstances are beyond our control."

"...in his pocket, there were a few candies. Take one out." Froststar patiently waited for Qin Duanyu to finish speaking before continuing, smiling like Volper who had stolen some from Liboli. "What are you thinking? How disgusting, you filthy bastard!"

"Sorry, I just didn't expect you to have a sweet tooth." Qin Duanyu awkwardly touched his nose, but his eyes darted to the girl's beautiful figure under her coat.

“Isn’t this normal? Life is already so hard, why not eat more sugar?” Froststar said matter-of-factly.

"Wait, who taught you that?" Qin Duanyu frowned. How could someone copy the words he often used?

“A friend once said something like that, and I thought it made a lot of sense, so I wrote it down.” Frostnova’s face showed a hint of sadness, as if she didn’t want to talk about it anymore, then a strange smile appeared on her lips. “By the way, if you want to try some, you can take one for yourself. This Ursus specialty tastes really good; you can’t get it in Lungmen.”

"Oh, thank you." Qin Duanyu didn't think too much about it, assuming that Shuangxing's friend was also an extreme sweet tooth who added several spoonfuls of sugar to her coffee. Then, she carefully reached out and took out the "delicious candy" that looked exactly like a cheap, unbranded product from her pocket.

"What, are you afraid it's poisonous? Here, put the candy in my mouth first, being careful not to let it touch my skin." Before Qin Duanyu could examine it carefully, Shuangxing spoke up, her face full of mockery.

Want to see me blush? This white rabbit has such a perverse sense of humor.

Qin Duanyu pursed his lips. He was very familiar with this operation. After all, he had flirted with so many girls, and had even done things like feeding them mouth-to-mouth. Naturally, he didn't feel nervous or shy and easily fed Shuangxing into her mouth.

Seeing Froststar's contented expression and how much she was enjoying herself, he began to believe that the candy was just not very appealing. So he took off his mask and hood and casually tossed the candy into his mouth.

There was no other way; the mask broke when it fell down earlier, and the buckle on the mouth side couldn't be removed at all, so the whole thing had to be taken off. Anyway, Frostnova had seen what he looked like, and there was no one else around except the two of them, so it wouldn't be a big deal if it was exposed.

"He's so handsome! I want to capture him and raise him in the Reunion Movement. As long as he's not seen by the other cadres, especially that old stubborn guy, he'll be absolutely safe!" Frostnova silently admired the handsome silver-haired, red-eyed boy, and under the influence of the candy, some crazy ideas began to emerge.

Hey, why is his face red? But he's still so handsome, like a red apple. I want to take a bite!

Qin Duanyu didn't have as many strange thoughts as Shuangxing; at this moment, he only had one thought.

hot!

The kind of spiciness that goes straight from your throat to the top of your head!

The subtle sweetness is impossible to mask; it's just too addictive!

"This candy has alcohol in it? Didn't I say before that I can't drink it with balls..." A familiar dizziness washed over her, and Qin Duanyu felt herself slurring her words, speaking incoherently and unintelligibly.

"It's okay, right? It's just a little bit of alcohol, maybe a bit better than chocolate liqueur. Surely no one can't handle any alcohol at all?" Frostnova, who has lived in Ursus for many years, has always encountered tough men and women who are good drinkers. Even those with a low alcohol tolerance can still have a few sips of vodka.

It's beyond imagination how weak they are.

"Trapped in debt, I'll be pounded in the mud." Qin Duanyu said, then his consciousness completely blurred, and he staggered and fell on Shuangxing, burying his face in the snow.

"Hey, wake up!" After confirming several times that this guy wasn't faking being drunk and genuinely couldn't hold his liquor, White Rabbit was quite helpless. But at this moment, she couldn't move at all and could only call out in vain.

After trying for a while, Shuangxing realized that Qin Duanyu wouldn't wake up anytime soon, so she sighed that Qin Duanyu was useless and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.

As a seasoned warrior, she had long since developed the ability to fall asleep quickly anytime, anywhere, and to wake up at the slightest disturbance. But now, the thing pressing on her chest felt like a thousand pounds, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

It was itchy, but I felt a warmth that I hadn't felt in a long time.

It's quite comfortable.

Froststar is such a nice girl! Not only did she treat me to candy, she even treated me to frozen tofu! #Funny

Section 334, Chapter 51: You Look Like Someone

In the past, whenever Qin Duanyu came into contact with alcohol, he would fall into a long, deep sleep. But this time, whether it was due to the other flavorings in the candy or some other reason, he had a rare dream.

It was a bright and sunny day, and he was trudging along a snow-covered path, carrying a heavy pack on his back.

"Mentor!" A clear and melodious voice rang out from behind, causing Qin Duanyu, who was in a dream, to stop in her tracks.

Turning my head, I saw a silver-haired girl wearing an Ursus military uniform. Although her face was still blurred, judging from her slightly immature figure, she shouldn't be very old. Hmm, she has a lot of potential.

"After the battle, what we should do is comfort the wounded and commend the meritorious, so as to cultivate a sense of belonging and honor. I taught you this a long time ago, didn't I?" Qin Duanyu stopped and said softly.

"Your plan last time was a great success. The avalanche buried the militia and police who were besieging us. Only a few brothers who were responsible for luring the enemy were slightly injured, so the cleanup was completed quickly. You are really amazing!" The silver-haired girl walked up to him in a few steps, her tone full of admiration and affection.

"It's just a shameless act of flipping the table when you can't win. If you have enough power, or if the commander on the other side is smart enough, don't even think about doing this. It's not worth it!" Qin Duanyu shrugged and said nonchalantly, "In the end, it's all about the other side making you look good. Anyone who has read a little about military strategy wouldn't be so easily fooled."

"Isn't it because you called him a gigolo, someone who got ahead by selling himself, that he got so angry? Besides, these Ursus people have always looked down on the Infected and didn't take us seriously at all, which is why we were wiped out." The silver-haired girl thought for a moment and then flattered Qin Duanyu again.

"Not bad, you're starting to learn how to summarize and analyze, that's good." Qin Duanyu wasn't proud at all, but rather said with great satisfaction, "By the way, girls should never learn those swear words. I swear at people just to make them lose their temper, it's definitely not because I'm jealous that he's more handsome than me."

"My mentor is clearly much better looking than that pretty boy," the silver-haired girl muttered under her breath. Seeing Qin Duanyu about to continue walking forward, she quickly spoke up, "So how can I avoid this situation in the future?"

“It’s very simple: be timid when facing a small enemy, and brave when facing a large enemy.” Qin Duanyu said, suddenly switching to Yan Guoyu’s language.

"Huh? What do you mean? My Mandarin is terrible..."

"When you have an advantage, play it safe; when you're at a disadvantage, take a gamble. Have you even learned this principle?"

"I don't understand at all, mentor. Could you please stay here a little longer? I'm so slow, there's still so much I haven't learned!" The girl shook her head, her voice pleading. "If it weren't for you, my grandparents and everyone in the village would definitely be in trouble because of my recklessness..."

“Silly girl, I’m already thankful that you didn’t blame me for making it so you can never see them again. I’ve taught you everything I could. Actually, I didn’t expect it. I just wanted to stir up some trouble around here to make it easier to smuggle myself into Kazimierz, but I ended up with such a smart student as you.” He stroked the girl’s silver hair. “Perhaps one day when I’m commanding a battle on the opposite side of you, I’ll also be forced into a dead end and have to beg for your mercy.”

“I’ve thought it over carefully. What you did back then was right. Now we are the vicious infected rebels, and the village is just a victim of the attack. This completely severs our ties with them. Although I can no longer see Alina and my grandparents, I only feel gratitude. How could I possibly lay a hand on my mentor?” The girl waved her hand somewhat flusteredly and said resolutely, “I swear, if that day ever comes and I become so crazy as to turn against my mentor, then let me be abandoned by everyone and become his prisoner.”

"I was just praising you for being so capable. The place I'm going to is very far from here, and I guess we'll probably never see each other again." Qin Duanyu smiled helplessly, then took out a few milk candies. "It's good to eat something sweet at times like this; it'll make you feel better."

"Ugh, mentor, stop with that 'life is hard and you need candy' nonsense. I'm not a child anymore," the silver-haired girl grumbled, but still took the candy and popped it into her mouth. "So, do you really have to go?"

"Sorry, I also have someone I need to see. She's still waiting for me in Kazdel. Hmm, speaking of which, she also has silver hair. I bet she'll be as pretty as you when she grows it long. Okay, that's enough for now..." Before he could finish speaking, the girl pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

I don't know how much time passed before he reluctantly let go.

……

The dream felt quite real, especially the chilly feeling of being in the snow, like sleeping while hugging an ice cube—though it was soft and very comfortable. Still half-asleep, Qin Duanyu twisted her head and burrowed her face closer to the ice.

"Mmm!"

The soft moans of the woman so close to him jolted him awake.

After eating the alcoholic candy and exchanging a few words with Frostnova, she lost consciousness. Now, instead of facing the hard ground, she's facing something soft... So there's only one answer!

"I'm sorry, I was drunk just now, please forgive me!" Qin Duanyu hurriedly propped herself up, then put her hands together and said to the white rabbit whose face looked a little strange.
