“If I were you, I would have solved the snow and ice here first,” Li Nanheng said. “You haven’t solved your shelter. Why are you guys in such a hurry to find food?”

Although Boss Li seemed to be blaming them, his voice was tender. Obviously, he understood them. After all, in this environment, both shelter and food were crucial.

“Boss, sit in the tent, please. It’s too cold outside.” Feng Ling pointed to the two tents over there.

Li Nanheng didn’t look at her but walked to the cliff in front and looked down.

Feng Ling looked at his back. She was sent here as a punishment because she had done something wrong. He had allowed her to make amends, but she didn’t cherish it, so it was not surprising that he didn’t want to talk to her now.

She no longer spoke and looked back at the snow and the pile of dry wood on the ground.

She asked the other members to go out to catch fish because she wanted to stay alone. The seven bored men sitting together were as noisy as a group of gossiping women.

Everyone was used to the busy life in the base. Now they suddenly didn’t need to do any training. Every day, all they did was to study what to eat and how to live more comfortably, which was boring.

She would rather stay alone here, studying how to make them live and eat more comfortably than hear them bicker around.

Feng Ling suddenly went in and took out a sturdy shovel, drew a square space of about 20 square meters on the ground opposite the tent, and then removed all the snow on it and smashed the ice below.

Li Nanheng heard the voice and turned back to see Feng Ling’s hard work, and then watched her smash for a long time, only making a few white marks on the ice.

The man looked at her for a while, walked around her with his hands behind his back, before he stopped and watched her keep smashing the ice. “Do you know what you are like now?”

Feng Ling knew he was taunting her, so she ignored him and continued to smash the ice, saying, “This kind of ice layer on the snowy mountain is very thick and solid and very hard to break. Boss, please don’t stand here, lest I’ll accidentally hit your face with the shovel in my hand.”

Li Nanheng watched her continue to work hard and was gradually amused by her cumbersome movement. “Like a bear with uncoordinated limbs.”

Feng Ling paused and turned to stare at him with a jerk. The hat on her head was too big, so half of her face was buried in the hat. Not seeing the flashing smile on the man’s face, she dragged the hat down hard and stared at the man’s cold face. “This winter suit is so big and doesn’t fit me at all! I can barely walk normally wearing it! Boss, if you come here just to laugh at me, please go back to the tent and take a rest. Don’t disturb me!”

Li Nanheng sneered and grabbed the shovel in her hand. He pointed his chin to the off-road vehicle that they drove here. “Isn’t there any salt in the car that the base prepared for you?”

Feng Ling paused, looked at the shovel that he snatched, and was surprised that his face was not red at all although he had been standing in such a cold place. She asked, “Isn’t the salt the seasoning prepared for us?”

“Do you need so much salt for seasoning? Are you out of your mind?”
