In the heavy snow, Lin Pingfan sat cross-legged beside the ice, while the others were still wrapped in thick cotton clothes and resting.
Alice cleaned the remaining broken bones on the ice floe, while David and Nordin looked at each other, then walked towards Sora and Marokov.
David took Cang Vacuum not far away and said in a commanding tone: "Lin Pingfan killed Yang Shu before. He poses a great threat to the hostages."
"So I need you to cooperate with me later and hand over the existing food to Miss Alice for management. We can't let Lin Pingfan lead the way."
Those words that came straight to the point made Cang Vacuum's face tremble and he said in surprise: "Don't you know the reason why Lin Pingfan attacked Yang Shu!?"
"Are you crazy to ask Alice to manage the food?"
"If she manages the food, none of us will get out of here alive!"
David glanced at Cang Vacuum with disdain and said indifferently: "I am informing you, not discussing with you."
"Don't forget, country r is just a dog of country m. If you disobey me, country r will be sanctioned by country m after returning to the country this time!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back, not giving Cang Vacuum any chance to speak.
Nordin on the other side also used various threats against Marokov.
The conversation between the two lasted for nearly five minutes, and the cold wind obscured their conversation.
In the end, they broke up unhappy.
During the process of returning to the station, Nordin and David met. Nordin's face was gloomy: "Marokov is really short-changed. No matter what I say, he will not agree to cooperate with us."
But David curled his lips and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as the number of people in favor is greater than the number of people opposed, we will win."
"Don't worry about the dog in country R. She must listen to me. The rest will be left to Miss Alice."
"With her prestige in the scientific research team, convincing others is not a problem."
While talking, the two of them had returned to their station, and Alice had finished cleaning up the debris. However, she did not rush to convince others, but chose to rest.
Time passed little by little.
Everyone is covered with a layer of white snow.
Lin Pingfan finally opened his eyes and glanced at the time.
"It's almost time, let's get on our way."
Everyone stood up tremblingly, supported each other and walked forward following Lin Pingfan's pace.
Cang Vacuum was also in the team. She looked restless at the moment, knowing that something big was going to happen.
She instinctively wanted to run to remind Lin Pingfan, but David's eyes were fiercely waiting for her, so she did not dare to act rashly and had no chance to communicate with Lin Pingfan.
Everyone moved forward, with Lin Pingfan walking at the front of the group.
At this time, Alice finally began to convince other researchers one by one.
At first, everyone was opposed to her and even rejected her.
After all, Lin Pingfan can provide them with food.
But it wasn't until Alice finished talking about the fact that the compressed food was not enough that everyone finally began to waver. They felt that Lin Pingfan should not have deceived them.
And Alice also promised them that as long as they stand in her position, several other warriors will be responsible for hunting polar bears and ensuring sufficient food.
When everything was ready, Alice winked at David!
David nodded, walked quickly to Lin Pingfan and said, "Captain Lin, I have something to discuss with you!"
Lin Pingfan didn't have much reaction and nodded: "What's the matter!?"
David took a deep breath and tried to sound more natural: "We have a long journey, but food is very scarce. I think we can leave the food to Miss Alice."
"After all, she is a woman, so her thoughts should be more delicate. As for Cang Vacuum, she is a warrior after all. She needs to explore paths and find prey from time to time. It is easy to lose food!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Pingfan gradually stopped.
He looked into the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not speak, as if he was thinking about something.
David frowned slightly when he saw this, but did not bother him, waiting for Lin Pingfan's next words.
After a full minute of silence, Lin Pingfan turned his head to look at him and asked lightly: "Whose idea was it!?"
"ah!?"
David was stunned.
Obviously, he didn't expect Lin Pingfan to ask such a question.
He hesitated for a moment. After all, Lin Pingfan was too strong and he did not dare to offend easily. He hurriedly said: "This is not anyone's idea. We just discussed it and thought it was more reasonable."
"Captain Lin, we have no other intentions, don't think too much!"
While the two were talking, others had already walked over.
Before anyone could speak, Lin Pingfan looked at them and asked again: "Is this what you mean too!?"
Indifferent eyes swept across the crowd, and they all lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak for a while.
Seeing that everyone was silent, David frowned and urged: "You guys are talking, isn't this what you mean!? Otherwise, why would I have to say this to Captain Lin!?"
Marokov was the first to speak. With a dull expression on his face, he pointed at Nordin and said, "Captain Lin, Nordin approached me before, but I didn't agree."
Cang Vacuum also choked back: "David also ordered me before, and I didn't agree."
For a time, two people had already refused.
And David's eyes already flashed with anger, he had not expected Cang Xinwu's rebellion.
But the two of them refused, which did not necessarily mean that others would refuse. One of the hostages frowned and said: "Captain Lin, that's what we really mean. We think it's safer to put the food here with Miss Alice."
"Although we are hostages, we also have the right to know. It is clear that the food is not enough for us to get out of the Arctic, but you still lie to us."
"We don't know how many lies like this there are, so we hope that the food afterwards will be managed by Miss Alice."
When one person spoke, others immediately followed suit and raised their voices in agreement.
"Captain Lin, we don't care how you manage your subordinates, but we are members of the scientific research team, you can't manage us."
"Yes, we have the right to decide on food management issues. Captain Lin, please don't insist on his own way."
"If you don't agree, we would rather starve to death in this ice and snow than leave with you."
Lin Pingfan narrowed his eyes. They actually knew that there was not enough food.
Marokov and Aoi Vacuum will definitely not tell this matter.
The only people who leaked the secret were these two soldiers from Country M.
And everyone asked Alice to manage the food, which also explained the problem. He turned his head and looked at Alice: "So, it was your idea!?"
Faced with the question, Alice waved her hands repeatedly, as if she didn't know anything about it: "Captain Lin, this is none of my business. This is what everyone wants. I...I..."
She hesitated to explain, but her eyes already showed pride.
In such a dilemma, she wanted to see how Lin Pingfan would compromise!
By then, all the food will not be enough for this hot summer person!
