Boss Qian slowly adjusted his breathing. He glanced at Xiao Zhou huddled in the corner and said irritably, "I'll wait at most 48 hours. If no one comes after 48 hours, I'll throw you into the ice cave and send you to scout ahead!"

Boss Qian had already thought it through. The worst outcome would be no one coming to his aid and all his supplies running out.

Even if there's only one path with a high probability of death, we'll still take it.

Xiao Zhou was the first scout he chose.

The ice cave connects to the ice lake, and there is a hole above the ice lake.

The scout dogs either find a hole and swim out, or they freeze to death in the lake.

24 hours have passed.

Boss Qian took stock of the supplies in the supply box, especially the food.

Although we brought a lot of food, it wouldn't be enough for five people. Even if we used it sparingly, it would only last for ten days at most.

36 hours have passed.

After sleeping for a while, Mr. Qian's anxiety was completely replaced by panic.

What if Qi Zhen dies?

What if the director dies?

What if no one comes to rescue them and they just drive back home?

40 hours have passed.

Mr. Qian couldn't wait any longer.

If no one comes for so long, something bad must have happened outside.

Boss Qian stared at Xiao Zhou with a gloomy expression: "You, jump into the lake and find a way out."

"Boss, boss, I'm completely loyal to you! You can't send me to my death!"

Boss Qian looked at Xu Ding and Xu Nuo: "I hired you for this kind of moment, so why don't you make your move?"

Xu Nuo obeyed and took a step forward. Xu Ding grabbed his younger brother's shoulder and said, "Don't rush, boss. It's not time to make a move yet, is it? Let's wait a little longer."

Boss Qian gave a forced smile: "Don't worry, only a few of us know about this. If Xiao Zhou survives, we all survive. If Xiao Zhou doesn't survive, it's just bad luck. It's normal for someone to die on a polar expedition."

Xiao Zhou pleaded desperately, but Boss Qian ignored him.

Under immense pressure, Xiao Zhou suddenly exploded: "Die! Die! Die! Why don't you just die?! You're the one who deserves to die the most!"

"If you hadn't been so afraid of dying and insisted on finding that immortal fish, we wouldn't be trapped here. It's all your fault!"

“Xu Ding, Xu Nuo, have you forgotten how he treated you like dogs when you came here? It was a dog sled, and he made you pull it.”

"It doesn't matter if I die, I can't find a way out. Who do you think will be the next one thrown out? The doctor will definitely be the last one thrown out, and the next one will definitely be one of you two brothers!"

As he spoke, the murderous glint in Xiao Zhou's eyes intensified: "Instead of this, the three of us should join forces, throw the guy surnamed Qian out first, and then..."

He glared fiercely at the doctor.

The doctor stood behind Mr. Qian as if it were none of his business, remaining silent.

Xu Nuo was persuaded by Xiao Zhou and hesitated before glancing at Xu Ding.

Xu Ding said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Boss Qian stared at the crazed Xiao Zhou and sneered. Suddenly, he pulled out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Xiao Zhou.

Xiao Zhou's pupils contracted.

Boss Qian pulled the trigger, but it was Xu Ding who dodged!
