"This area isn't very large, about 300 square meters, where snow has seeped in. Combined with the low outside temperature, the snow melted and then re-frozen, now blocking our ventilation openings. So you absolutely must remove this ice as soon as possible, otherwise a large area below will be affected!"

Lu Yuan looked at the spot the other person was pointing to, and mentally filled in the blanks, immediately getting a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Okay, Chief Engineer Feng, I've got that written down!"

"Okay! Keep the blueprints for you, but don't go to the wrong place! Oh, and you'll need to take the elevator up first. They'll open the door for you up there! But once you're out, you can only come back in after I give you the notification! Understand? So, don't lose these signal transmitters! Notify me immediately once you've completed the mission! I'll notify the gatekeepers to open the gate right away!"

Lu Yuan nodded, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. Although the other party only said that they would open the door if they sent him a signal after completing the mission, they did not mention anything about not completing the mission. Obviously, if the mission was not completed, they would be trapped outside.

Then, the other person took out a palm-sized object from their pocket and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Keep this safe! We are not responsible for any loss!"

Lu Yuan solemnly accepted the item and carefully placed it in his backpack.

Liu Dafa, who was following behind, hadn't spoken until the other person handed him a signal transmitter. Only then did he finally ask, "Um, just wondering, will this thing break?"

Feng Yuanheng was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then burst into laughter: "Don't worry! This thing is of very high quality! It also has a spare battery inside, so it can be used at temperatures as low as minus seventy degrees Celsius. The quality is absolutely guaranteed, so you can rest assured. Of course, we are not responsible for any malicious damage caused by human error!"

Liu Dafa nodded: "Okay! I understand! So when do we leave?"

"First thing tomorrow morning! Oh, by the way, I've already applied for the supplies for you, and they should arrive tonight! These supplies include cold-weather clothing for everyone, compressed food, life-saving medicines, and so on. They're provided based on the personnel configuration of the scientific expedition team, so you must make the most of this opportunity!"

Lu Yuan was secretly shocked.

"So fast?"

"Is this fast? The sooner it's resolved, the better. We can't afford to delay! Alright, I have to go now! You'd better take care of yourselves!"

The two watched Feng Yuanheng leave, and Liu Dafa collapsed to the ground.

"Damn it! I should never have come on this mission! This is a disaster! If I fail to complete the mission, I'll freeze to death here!"

Lu Yuan gave him a cold laugh.

"Heh, do you think you can live a peaceful life here forever without going out to do missions?"

"At least he wouldn't have to die so quickly!" Liu Dafa didn't dare to look at Lu Yuan, and just said in a low voice.

"Heh, I advise you to face the facts. If you want to leave now, I won't stop you! But if you regret it later, you won't have another chance! Do you think you'll still have a chance to lead a hundred people into Phase Three? Don't even think about it!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan ignored the other party and went straight back to his camp.

That evening, Gu Wenzhong indeed arrived at the campsites of Groups Seven and Three with two flatbed carts.

"Heh! I've come to see you off! These are probably the last things you'll use in the fortress!"

Lu Yuan looked at the other person with a sneer: "You didn't secretly withhold my stuff again, did you?"

Gu Wenzhong glared angrily at Lu Yuan: "You little bastard, I didn't touch your stuff! It's all dead people's stuff, I have no interest in it at all!"

"Heh! Gu Wenzhong, do you believe it or not, you'll die before us?"

Gu Wenzhong ignored Lu Yuan and instead led his men directly to Group Three with his hands behind his back.

None of the people in the seven camps slept well that night. Everyone spent the whole night packing their things, trying to take as much as they could with them.

Lu Yuan was immediately overwhelmed by the large pile of items in front of his bed.

"There's so much stuff, how are we supposed to carry it all?"

Xiao Shan squatted down to the side, tidying up the ropes. She looked up at Lu Yuan and said, "Of course we're taking them all! Just in case we need them! Come help!"

Lu Yuan sighed, "Well, well! I didn't expect Gu Wenzhong to actually not touch our things!"

"He doesn't have the guts. After all, these things were issued by the engineering department. If he dares to touch them, he'll be in deep trouble!"

"Oh! Okay! By the way, why don't you seem nervous at all?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "What's there to be nervous about! We're about to go to Phase Three! Just do your best to complete this mission!"

"Sigh! They say it's enough to just fix the leak, but who doesn't know how dangerous the things in this area are! Otherwise, we wouldn't be the ones dealing with it!"

"Hehe! Of course, if everything were easy, the engineering department wouldn't have given us such a cushy job!"

"Then why did you take on this kind of mission? You could have gotten in by just staying put."

Xiao Shan's thoughts were actually similar to Liu Dafa's. After all, they all wanted to live a good life, but they never thought that if this kind of life was really too easy to come by, why would others pay such a high price to let them in?
