"You, you, will definitely, die a horrible death!"
Mr. Qian felt dizzy and weak in his hands. He tried to aim at the doctor, but to no avail. He could only leave these words before he lost consciousness.
Dr. Zhao strode forward, picked up the pistol, and said coldly, "What are you standing there for? Tie him up and throw him into the ice cave to feed the fish."
Xu Ding snapped out of his daze and shoved Xu Nuo: "Go!"
Xu Nuo rummaged through the supply box and pulled out a rope. He glanced at Dr. Zhao and tied it around Boss Qian's neck.
Even though the rope had bound the person tightly, Xu Nuo still hadn't had enough of looking at them.
Dr. Zhao sneered: "If you don't want your eyes anymore, I can gouge them out for you."
Xu Nuo quickly shifted the focus, carrying Boss Qian off to "fish".
The ice cave was so quiet that only Xu Ding and Dr. Zhao's breathing could be heard.
Xu Ding, eager to explore the realm of rules, was the first to lose his composure: "Why...why did you do this?"
As soon as Xu Ding asked the question, he regretted it. How could the cold-hearted Dr. Zhao possibly care about his question?
However, Dr. Zhao's smile faded: "Have you ever heard of the saying 'great kindness can turn into great enmity'?"
Before Xu Ding could answer, Dr. Zhao continued, "My family was poor and couldn't afford to support me. Before I went to university, he was my sponsor. After I went to university..."
Dr. Zhao glanced at Xu Ding with contempt and disgust, too lazy to talk to him.
man.
Perhaps when men hear that Mr. Qian became her sugar daddy after she went to university, they will only think that she doesn't respect herself.
They would never imagine that there are people in this world who would tie their own daughter to the bed and offer her to another man, just for money.
Dr. Zhao didn't bother to mention these things. The idea of killing Boss Qian had been brewing in her mind ever since the money she had funded first turned sour.
However, the law bound her.
She didn't want to ruin her life, which had finally seen a glimmer of hope, for a scumbag.
Education and medical skills are among her few remaining hopes.
Originally, she planned to use her position as a private doctor to kill him without anyone knowing.
However, before a suitable opportunity arose, Boss Qian brought her to the Death Ice Lake.
Death Lake is a really nice place.
Just as Mr. Qian said, dying during an expedition is perfectly normal.
No one will doubt her.
That sordid past was finally severed by her own hands.
Dr. Zhao rubbed the gun barrel with her thumb. It's a pity, there were two witnesses in the ice cave who had seen her evil deeds.
They shouldn't have killed Boss Qian so early. They should have waited until he dealt with the Xu brothers, Xu Ding and Xu Nuo, before striking him unexpectedly.
Dr. Zhao concealed the cold glint in his eyes and quietly observed Xu Ding.
This man is very strong, strong enough to dodge bullets. Dr. Zhao is not confident that he can hit the target with one shot.
There's still time...
"Brother! Brother! I caught a longevity fish!" Xu Nuo shouted in surprise.
Xu Ding took a step forward, not daring to expose his back to Dr. Zhao, and extended his hand, inviting, "Shall we go take a look together?"
The two walked side by side and arrived at the ice cave.
Mr. Qian's body had been bitten in a large hole, and blood was gushing from the wound.
A huge black fish, almost as long as a person, was bouncing on the ground with its gaping maw.
Xu Nuo pressed tightly against the fish, as if taming a disobedient wild horse.
"Should we solve it?" Xu Ding asked Dr. Zhao.
Dr. Zhao: "Whatever."
Xu Ding tossed over a dagger, which Xu Nuo caught, raised high, and then stabbed downwards, inserting it into the junction of the head and body of the longevity fish.
The dying long-lived fish resisted more and more fiercely, but its movements became less and less noticeable.
Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, removed the ropes from Boss Qian's body, pried open the gills of the long-lived fish, threaded the rope through, and tied a slipknot.
"Done!"
Dr. Zhao stared at Boss Qian's corpse and reached out to Xu Nuo: "Give me the dagger."
After getting the dagger, she stabbed several holes in Mr. Qian's chest and neck, patiently waiting for his body to cool down before letting out a sigh of relief.
Xu Ding and Xu Nuo had already left the ice cave and returned to the tent.
Xu Nuo used the communicator left behind by Xiao Zhou to contact Qi Zhen, Dr. Han, the director, Xia Chuhe, and Lu Dangui in turn.
Unbeknownst to him, Xia Chuhe and the others were also waiting for their return.
The wait during the polar night is so long that you lose track of time.
Dr. Han has no night vision and has to turn on the light every two hours for some comfort.
The lights came on again, and a pair of bright eyes flashed out from the car window, emitting an eerie green light in the darkness.
Dr. Han's heart pounded, and he instinctively turned off the lights and held his breath.
His unusual reaction led Xia Chuhe to see a polar bear staggering towards him.
Xia Chuhe gripped Lu Dangui's hand tightly and made a shushing gesture.
The three of them slowly lowered themselves down, shrinking to a height where they could barely see out the window.
The polar bear walked around the car, its footsteps making a crunching sound on the snow.
It suddenly stopped in one spot, nudged its nose in the snow, and excitedly began to dig into the ice and snow.
Beneath the snow and ice lay the director's shriveled body.
The polar bear dug out the carcass, snorted in disgust, and began to devour it.
However, after only a few bites, it let out a painful howl.
Xia Chuhe raised his head and looked out the window.
Dr. Han scoffed, "Bears are cunning creatures; be careful they don't put on an act to trick you into leaving."
Xia Chuhe remained silent.
She saw a plump polar bear visibly shrivel up.
Thin, thin, and thinner, until it becomes another frozen pear that has been sucked dry.
This unknown creature had been inside the director's body all along!
Recalling the action of pulling on the fuel tank, Xia Chuhe broke out in a cold sweat.
A considerable amount of time has passed since the fuel tank was removed. Judging from the speed at which the polar bear was "eaten," she was fortunate not to have been infected.
Xia Chuhe swallowed hard, his voice strained: "It's dead. It wasn't acting."
Dr. Han hurriedly turned on the light to look, and was immediately speechless with shock at the horrific scene outside the car.
Xia Chuhe said, "At least there's some good news: we know where it is."
It was hidden inside the director's and the polar bear's carcasses.
...
With an unknown threat looming, Xia Chuhe and his two companions dared not touch any food other than vacuum-packed food. They even dared not drink bottled water and would boil their daily water for ten minutes before using it.
The bottled water in the trunk was quickly consumed.
"We can't go on like this, we have to go find them." Dr. Han was the first to give up, his mind was set on taking the samples back to the research institute.
Dr. Han said, "You are bodyguards hired by Boss Qian. Aren't you worried at all that something happened to the boss?"
Xia Chuhe and Lu Danggui remained unmoved.
Dr. Han intensified his attack: "If Boss Qian dies, no one will settle your accounts, and you'll have worked for nothing."
Xia Chuhe's toes twitched involuntarily...
Although money isn't important in a lawless land, you can't break the rules by just waiting around.
Xia Chuhe touched Lu Dangui's calf; it felt warm and elastic.
Perhaps because she returned in time and soaked her legs in hot water, her legs have recovered to about 70-80%.
“Okay, shall we pack our things… Shall we go?” Xia Chuhe looked at Lu Dangui.
Lu Dangui nodded: "Go."
