"Don't wait any longer, dinner will be served soon," the yeti said. "Come on, let's get started now."
Han Fei shook his head and said, "I have to go find Talulah first. Wait a bit, I'll come find you later."
Upon hearing this, the Yeti gave up and said, "Then you must come as soon as possible."
"no problem."
Han Fei waved to the snow monster, then said to Froststar beside him, "He's quite enthusiastic."
“The Yeti Squad has always been clear about right and wrong,” Frostnova said. “You helped us, and we will remember your kindness and be grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts.”
"Too polite."
As Han Fei spoke, he led Froststar to Talulah.
Talulah was in the cabin at the moment, with Alina beside her. The two were sitting at a wooden table, discussing something.
Upon seeing Han Fei and Frostnova return, Talulah stopped her previous conversation and asked the two, "You're back. How did things go?"
"It went pretty smoothly."
Han Fei pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "When I came in just now, I heard you guys discussing something. Do you need my advice?"
“It’s nothing important,” Talulah said. “But you, Frostnova, are somewhat related to it.”
"I?"
Froststar pointed to herself.
“Yes, you probably haven’t received the news yet, Patriot is coming back,” Talulah said. “I received a communication from Patriot when you left, and he should arrive here tomorrow.”
"Is that old stubborn man finally coming back?"
Despite what Froststar said, everyone present could see the joy in her eyes.
Although she often calls Patriot an old stubborn man because of their differing ideologies, Froststar actually deeply respects Patriot, her adoptive father.
"I thought I wouldn't see Patriot before I left." Han Fei's interest was piqued. "I didn't expect to see him again."
Unexpectedly, Froststar reacted strongly to these words, turning to Han Fei abruptly and saying, "Leave? You're leaving?"
Han Fei blinked and said, "Didn't I tell you? I won't be staying in the tundra for long. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be leaving in two days."
Han Fei has three days left to run his knife. Theoretically, he can stay here for two and a half days before heading to the evacuation point to leave.
But Han Fei didn't intend to push the limits like that.
It's important to understand that the Ursus tundra is not a safe place. Both the infected roaming the tundra and the vicious patrols are unstable and dangerous factors.
Although Han Fei was not afraid of encountering enemies, he worried that if the time limit was too tight, he would not have time to retreat after the battle.
After all, it would take time to get there, and he didn't know the road conditions from here to the evacuation point.
This matter is also recorded in top-secret aerospace documents.
They liked to pull the limit switch, but someone was camping at the switch point, so they exchanged fire and neither of them could pull the switch, and they both went mygo!
Han Fei was physically searching and dismantling the enemy; he didn't want to gamble on the consequences of losing his way.
What if I die here?
Therefore, don't try to pull off an extreme evacuation. Give yourself a day to allow for any unforeseen circumstances on the way, so that you don't run out of time to evacuate.
The news of his departure caught Froststar completely off guard. She stared blankly at Han Fei and said, "You never told me this before."
“I’ve heard the saying that all good things must come to an end,” Talulah said. “Our parting this time is only for a better reunion next time.”
Compared to Frostnova, Talulah seemed much more composed. She already knew that Han Fei wouldn't stay here for long, so she wasn't too surprised to learn that he was about to leave.
What are you doing?
Han Fei scratched his face and said, "I am leaving, but not right now. Why does it sound like we'll never see each other again?"
Volume One: Chapter Twenty-One: The Passion of the Ursus
Frostnova's mood was not very high until she left Talulah's hut.
Han Fei glanced at Shuangxing, reached out and poked her cheek, saying, "Is it really necessary? It's not like I'm going to disappear from your sight right now."
Froststar turned her head to look at Han Fei and said, "I just didn't expect the farewell to come so soon. I thought you would stay here for at least a few more days."
"I really can't stay here."
Han Fei scratched his face. This isn't a game. In a game, if you lose, you can just play another round, but in life, there are no second chances.
"Even my request isn't allowed?" Froststar said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Uh……"
Han Fei hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "This really won't work."
"OK then."
Froststar withdrew her gaze, looked ahead, and said, "Then remember to tell me the day you leave, and I'll see you off."
“That’s no problem,” Han Fei said. “Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have said goodbye to you.”
As they spoke, the two arrived at the outside of a wooden house.
Froststar reached out and pushed open the wooden door, and a wave of warmth immediately rushed towards her.
Upon seeing the two arrive, the Yeti team inside the house immediately greeted them, "Big sister, Dr. Han Fei, you've arrived."
Han Fei recognized the man as the Yeti who had previously sought his help to treat him, and asked, "How is your wound healing?"
The yeti scratched its head and said with a smile, "It's recovering well; it doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good."
Han Fei and Shuang Xing walked to the wooden table and sat down. Dinner was already laid out on the table.
The food wasn't plentiful, and the portions weren't particularly large. There were some toasted breads in a basket, their crusts glistening with a golden-brown sheen. A dish of dried meat slices was neatly arranged around the edge of a ceramic plate, and in the center was a steaming bowl of wild vegetable soup—more soup than vegetables, filling the entire bowl to the brim.
In addition, there were opened cans of fruit and a fruit platter with sliced pears, apples and raspberries. The presentation wasn't fancy, but the fruit was still quite fresh.
"Doctor, do you drink alcohol?"
The Yeti came closer again, holding a glass bottle with Ursus script printed on it, and said, "This is what we found in the rooms of those inspectors."
Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "We can have just a little bit."
Drinking alcohol to warm up is a common practice on the tundra. Han Fei had seen quite a few drinks before, but since they couldn't be exchanged for Haff coins, he didn't take any.
Upon hearing this, the Yeti immediately grabbed a cup and was about to pour wine for Han Fei, saying, "Doctor, let me pour you some wine."
"I can do it myself," Han Fei said.
The Yeti protected the wine bottle and said, "How can that be? Doctor, you are a distinguished guest today. Let me handle anything."
Han Fei couldn't refuse him, so he had no choice but to accept the Yeti's kindness.
The Yeti poured Han Fei a glass of wine and said, "Dr. Han Fei, please have a taste."
Han Fei picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
Just that small bite made his expression quite subtle.
Ursus truly lives up to its reputation as a country inspired by Russia; even its liquor is remarkably similar to Russian vodka—it's incredibly strong.
Han Fei rarely drinks alcohol, only occasionally having a small drink when dining with friends, usually beer. He really couldn't handle the strong liquor from Ursus.
Froststar had been watching Han Fei closely. Seeing his expression, she chuckled and asked, "Don't you like the taste?"
"so spicy."
Han Fei put down his cup and let out a long breath. He had only taken a small sip, but he already felt a little warm.
"Um, Dr. Han Fei, this is for you."
The voice beside him made Han Fei turn his head and see a strange young girl holding a white flower wreath in her hand.
"Thank you for saving my friend," the girl said. "Without you, she might have died at the hands of those inspectors. So, I want to give you this wreath."
Perhaps worried that Han Fei wouldn't accept it, the girl quickly added before he could speak, "I made this myself, but I couldn't find that many flowers right now, so it's a bit simple. Please don't mind."
The wreath in the girl's hand was indeed quite simple. Although it was called a wreath, the number of white flowers was actually very limited, probably only seven or eight.
Seeing the somewhat nervous girl, Han Fei smiled gently and said, "How could I be? Your craftsmanship is excellent. Can you help me put it on?"
As he spoke, he leaned his head over.
The girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief and carefully placed the flower wreath on Han Fei's head.
After doing all this, the girl bowed to Han Fei and said, "Anyway, thank you, Dr. Han Fei."
"You're welcome, it was just a small favor," Han Fei waved his hand and said, "Alright, you should go eat too."
"Ah."
The girl responded and ran away.
It started with the girl's flower wreath. After she left, members of the Yeti Squad immediately came over, looking grateful, and said, "Dr. Han Fei, thank you for your efforts. I'd like to toast you!"
Without waiting for Han Fei's response, the snow monster downed the wine in its cup in one gulp.
Han Fei was stunned, thinking to himself, "I can't handle this strong liquor."
Seeing the solemn expression on the person's face, Han Fei felt embarrassed not to drink, so he raised his glass and said, "There's really no need to be so polite."
As he spoke, Han Fei also took a sip.
This set a bad precedent; Han Fei then witnessed firsthand what the Ursus people's enthusiasm was all about.
One by one, members of the Yeti Squad appeared before Han Fei with wine glasses, expressing their gratitude for his healing efforts during the day.
If that were all, it wouldn't be anything special. But these people were all incredibly bold. No one knew how many bottles of liquor they had confiscated from the disciplinary team's stronghold during the day. They each had a glass in hand and downed it in one gulp.
After downing it in one gulp, he kept staring longingly at Han Fei, as if he couldn't refuse to drink it.
He sipped the wine, and even though he only took a small sip each time, he couldn't stand being toasted like that.
In no time, Han Fei's glass of wine was empty.
"Stop toasting me, stop toasting me, I really can't drink anymore, if you drink any more I'll..."
Before he could finish speaking, Han Fei's body went limp, and he was about to collapse onto the table.
Fortunately, Froststar reacted quickly and caught Han Fei, preventing him from collapsing onto the table.
"Uh, big sister, did we do something wrong...?"
The Yeti team then realized that Han Fei's alcohol tolerance seemed to be less than ideal, and they all looked embarrassed.
"fine."
Froststar waved her hand and said, "Someone, help me support him. Since he's already drunk, let him rest first."
Froststar couldn't help Han Fei on her own; her body temperature was too low. If she were to do it, Han Fei would probably freeze to death.
"Let me do it."
Immediately, a Yeti came over, helped Han Fei up, and asked, "Big sister, where are we going?"
"follow me."
Froststar got up, led the people out of the cabin, and walked straight in one direction.
The Yeti didn't react at first, but when it saw the destination, it realized Frostnova's intention and said, "Big sister, that's your room."
"Is it not allowed?" Frostnova glanced at him.
The Yeti immediately backed down, saying, "Uh, I have no objection."
"Do not think too much."
Froststar withdrew her gaze and said nonchalantly, "I don't know where he rested yesterday, so I let him sleep at my place. I'll figure out a solution myself."
Book One: Chapter Twenty-Two: The Patriot
As the morning light streamed through the cracks in the wooden window and fell upon Han Fei's eyes, he slowly opened them.
As soon as he stood up, a sudden headache made Han Fei grimace.
"Ouch, that hurts."
Almost instinctively, Han Fei decisively pulled out a hormone gun and gave himself an injection.
"Hiss, it feels good."
