Late at night, one of them laid on the bed while the other sat on the stool. Both of them were silent.

Or rather, no matter what Li Nanheng said, Feng Ling did not reply. After a while, the man held onto his face and refused to say more. He allowed her to sit there as she pleased.

After several hours, Li Nanheng opened his eyes to look at Feng Ling. It seemed like she hadn’t moved in quite a while, and he guessed she must have fallen asleep.

Li Nanheng got off the bed and slowly approached. He stood by Feng Ling’s side and lowered his eyes to watch her sleep, scanning her thick clothes and the large hat on her head. Based on Feng Ling’s awareness, if he carried her to the bed right now, she would wake up.

But looking at her sleeping posture, even if she managed to fall asleep, he was sure her neck would be aching tomorrow morning.

Li Nanheng sighed. He returned to the bed to retrieve a pillow and gently lifted her head to place it behind her neck. After confirming that she was sleeping comfortably, he finally let her be.

Although Boss Li’s appearance brought them good food, their vacation finally came to an end.

Early in the morning, they had their first group training since they arrived at Rogers Pass. The freezing cold left the group of them with flushed cheeks and reddened noses. All of them, including Feng Ling, were not allowed to wear their winterwear. Based on Boss Li’s explanation, this was to prevent their body from falling ill after staying here for an extended period. They needed to train to increase their resistance against the cold every day.

The requirement for the first day of their training was to remove their cold-resistant coat and stand in the snow and wind in their down jackets. On the next day of their training, they had to remove their down jackets and stand in their vests.

Every country’s army had similar experiences training against the cold. However, XI Base was located in a more humid area and had not participated in missions involving the cold for the past few years. The training for their members to protect them against the cold was still insufficient.

What Boss Li meant was to take advantage of the ‘good’ conditions in this place to give them some endurance training.

A group of them cursed and whined in their hearts all day but did not dare to vocalize any resentment. After all, accompanying Boss meant that they would have meat to eat. Besides, if they were really injured during the training, Boss would definitely take responsibility for it. There was completely no need to worry.

Although the cold initially left everyone with running noses and frost frozen on their lashes, by the third day, they were able to step out of their tents without their cold-resistant gear. They were also less fearful of the cold than they were when they first arrived.

Li Nanheng was not as much of a demon in this place as he was in the base. After three days of training, he allowed them two days of rest.

After receiving this break, the men were still stubbornly insistent on looking for a river to fish. Da Bin, especially, had grown up in the North. According to him, the type of fish living under the layer of ice was especially fat and delicious. The group of men drooled at his description. Since they had nothing better to do, they decided to look for a river.

Feng Ling originally did not wish to go. However, Li Nanheng was hauled away by those seven men, and right before they left, he grabbed her along. Since Boss was going as well, it wasn’t right for her to insist. She could only follow the group of them to look for a river to hunt for food.

Many glaciers and rivers surrounded Rogers Pass. The past few days, they had taken the wrong path when they were looking, but this time, they had built a good memory of the path to take. They carried their electronic maps and compasses. After arriving at the correct location, they began to study how to cut open the thick layer of ice.

The layer of ice here was much thicker than it was up on the mountain. They did not have the professional tools to do this, and scattering salt on ice wasn’t especially effective either. It was taking up a lot of time.

Luckily, they had multiple sets of hands available to help. They took turns in groups of three and two to dig through the ice. Around two hours later, the thick layer was greatly reduced. When they sprawled on the ground to listen, they could even hear the sound of the water movement underneath.

“Continue! Continue! We’ll be able to catch the fishes soon!” Fattie was extremely excited. After hearing the sound of the river, he immediately brought up his tool and continue digging down.

“Be careful. The layer of ice around us already has several cracks. If you continue digging so hard, what if before this area breaks away, the other parts crack open? That would be too dangerous,” someone reminded by the side.

“Don’t worry. The ice is so thick. After smashing against it for so long, it still hasn’t broken up. How can it crack so easily? We’ll just... ah-”

As he spoke, Fattie lifted his tool and smashed it heavily down on the ice. When the ice finally broke, there was no time for him to celebrate. All of a sudden, the cracked ice under his feet shook slightly. Fattie’s bulky body instantly fell down into the ice cavity.

“Aaaaah! Help-”

“Watch out-”

A group of men charged over. However, the moment they shifted, they realized that the ice around the area had already begun to crack. If they all rushed over right now, the cavity would only grow bigger.

Fattie’s body had already sunk into the ice-cold water. His hands gripped against the layer of the ice tightly as he cried for help. While the other men faltered for a few seconds, Fattie’s hands already begun to loosened its grip. He cried out in despair as his hands slipped down.

“Fattie!” Feng Ling saw that it was almost too late and was about to charge forward. However, someone was much faster and stretched a hand out to catch Fattie’s hand.

“Ah... aahh... Boss... Boss, save me!” Fattie was about to cry. When he lifted his head to see that the one who had thrown himself forward to rescue him was Li Nanheng, he immediately began wailing as though he had seen his savior: “Boss, I don’t want to be frozen to death underneath, ahhh... Boss... save me... ahh...”

“Shut up!” Li Nanheng’s expression was ugly. Fattie’s weight wasn’t something anyone could easily endure. Furthermore, he was only supporting him with a single hand. He furrowed his brows and shouted at the people behind: “Don’t come here, if there are too many people, the ice will crack open. Pull me from behind.”

“All right!”

Feng Ling followed everyone and began pulling them back with force. However, her gaze was focused on the wrist Li Nanheng was using to pull Fattie.

Less than half a month ago, he had just injured that arm. The doctor had specially mentioned that he could not use too much force for the time being. Not only was he going against the doctor’s order, but he was also even supporting Fattie’s weight with that wrist. Fattie was at least a 308 pounds!

Feng Ling’s gaze trembled for a moment. Among the group of them, her weight was the lightest. The layer of ice should be able to support her weight. She abruptly let go and took quick steps to approach them!
