Mountain Eagle played with a few children until late at night, and after the fish school swam away and the children had their fill, they quickly fell asleep...

The tent on the ice wasn't particularly warm, but there was a fire pit inside, and the equipment Mountain Eagle brought was very advanced...

Sleeping bags that could withstand extreme cold of minus forty degrees, self-heating thermal underwear, along with reindeer skin sleeping mats and waterproof pads provided by Old Qiao, were enough for the children to handle the low temperatures inside the tent.

But while the sleep inside the tent was relatively stable, Tiffany and Lilith, assigned to watch the moose outside the tent, felt like they were going to die!

They came out to adapt to the environment and to train their survival skills; the textbook ice-snow windbreak wall was built, and due to the natural meticulousness of women, this windbreak wall was even made into a ten-meter semicircle, allowing one to completely avoid direct impact from the cold wind...

The wall was built, and naturally, the bonfire was also lit...

The attentive Tiffany and Lilith even cleverly used the body of the sedative-injected moose for warmth.

With walls, fire, moose, self-heating underwear, sleeping bags, and hot coffee, under the six-fold preparation, Tiffany and Lilith persisted for three hours outside until they were almost unable to move due to the cold, and had to use the radio to wake the sleeping Mountain Eagle to drag them into the tent.

That's the power of nature!

Without professional equipment and systematic training, a normal person might not be able to persist in such an environment for even an hour.

Their choice wasn't too wrong; the only thing they did poorly was that they pursued perfection too much...

Snow wall height 1.2 meters, length 10 meters...

Supposedly, this was a life-saving windbreak wall, and building a snow wall isn't considered difficult, but why did the guys parachuting from the north prefer to dig holes in the snow and curl up like quails in snow holes just deep enough to hide their heads?

Because the drawbacks of consumption and the slight increase in temperature don't justify the benefits!

Tiffany did nothing wrong, but her competitiveness drove her to constantly strive for perfection, which led to excessive physical exhaustion for both of them.

Moreover, she overestimated the insulation capacity of her clothing, underestimated the lethal cold of the night, and worse, they sweat while working, which is a fatal mistake in the environment of over minus twenty degrees.

In Alaska, it's not that you can't sweat, but once you do, no matter how advanced your gear is and how good the insulation, you must return to the shelter and warm yourself within 2 to 3 hours.

Otherwise, the sweat will freeze your clothing, causing a loss of insulation and rapidly dropping your core temperature.

The Arctic expedition team's cold gear is undoubtedly among the world's top, equipped with heating circulation devices from hats to clothing, gloves, shoes, but when their fieldwork reaches two hours, they must return to camp to replenish body heat.

This is the pitfall of insufficient experience; Tiffany thought she had prepared well, but those theoretical paper knowledge, when applied in such extreme geographical environments, can easily cost lives.

In the morning, when the children woke up, they saw the two ladies crouching in despair by the fire pit for warmth, while Dad was reheating last night's fish soup and taking out a bucket of noodles, seemingly preparing to make some noodles for everyone.

Luna rubbed her eyes as she got up, covering her belly with no jacket on, slipping on shoes upon Mountain Eagle's scolding, and dashed out of the tent...

A minute later, the young girl returned with two stiffened frozen trails on her nose, throwing herself into Mountain Eagle's embrace, snuggling like a big bug inside Mountain Eagle's windproof jacket.

Mountain Eagle covered the pot of fish soup, sighed sitting by the fire pit, while helping Luna warm up, said to the other children: "If you need to pee, dress well before going out..."

He then pointed to the two negative examples beside him, saying: "Look at them, risking freezing themselves without hesitation; don't be so foolish..."

Tiffany was very upset hearing this; she'd been reviewing her mistakes from last night until now and gained a lot, so Mountain Eagle treating her like a fool made her very displeased, but she couldn't find the words to argue back...

Because it was indeed foolish!

Yue Yi, the hard-hitting child who isn't afraid of cold, didn't follow Dad's advice but wore thermal underwear as he approached the two heroine figures for a glance, then dismissively shook his head and swaggered out of the tent, returning after peeing with his hair frozen stiff but not showing much pain.

Mountain Eagle picked up a fish bone and threw it at Yue Yi, jokingly scolded: "Quick, put on clothes, wear your socks well..."

Tiffany watched Yue Yi, the little guy, make a face at her, and dejectedly said: "Where did these little monsters come from?"

Speaking of which, Tiffany looked at Mountain Eagle beside her, sighed and said: "I have no chance, right?"

Mountain Eagle nodded matter-of-factly: "I gave you a plan, but you didn't use it..."

He watched Tiffany's low mood, with the principle of promoting with both a slap and a sweet date, smiled and said: "But experience needs accumulation after all; you made many mistakes last night.

If you can summarize them all, you can try again several times within the camp.

You need to design an entire set of shelter-building methods that suit your needs, and the time must be set within one hour...

Build a shelter in no more than an hour and be able to withstand 14 to 16 hours of darkness inside it; otherwise, you are completely unqualified to enter the Alaska wilderness!

Tiffany exchanged a glance with Lilith beside her and let out a sigh of frustration...

Seeing Lilith seemed a little unconvinced, Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "You don't need to argue with me...

You're a doctor, you might know more than I do, perhaps you might say I'm asking too much...

But what I want to tell you is, if you want to go into the wilderness and engage in combat in such extreme weather, you have to have this ability; otherwise, all your time will just be spent trying to survive."

Usually proud and arrogant, Lilith couldn't help but say after hearing this, "In such conditions, our enemies won't be having it any better."

Mountain Eagle sensed Luna's body gradually warming up; he reached out to twist a piece of paper on the little sister's nose and wiped her snot away, then stood up and uncovered the fish soup to take a look, while tossing noodles into the soup and shaking his head, saying: "The drug traffickers from the Sinaloa Group all know, to come to Alaska and clash with me, they must send people to extreme training camps in Estonia for adaptive training.

Their equipment may not be as good as yours, and their combat qualities may not be as excellent, but they are mentally fully prepared and have experience responding to extreme environments.

However, even with that, I still believe you can defeat your opponents in the wild, but if you deplete a massive amount of energy during the fight, even if you win, you'll ultimately lose to nature.

So staying in the camp is the best choice for you, it is where you can exert the greatest effect."

Seeing the proud two ladies fall into silence, Marta, who suffered already yesterday, came over meekly and said: "Captain, I think the boss is right!"

As she spoke, Marta noticed Tiffany giving her a strange look, she waved her hands repeatedly, saying: "I mean, we will become better in the future!

Oh, no, we're already very good, just slightly adapting, I think those rivals' situation definitely won't be better than ours..."

.........

"Look at what you've done?"

The Tiago from the Sinaloa Group sat in the cold cabin, looking through the window at the bodies on the shore being stripped of their gear and then packed into body bags...

Facing General Sid, Tiago angrily said: "We've been here only two days, and six people are dead...

They froze to death!

Shouldn't you be saying or doing something?

I don't think it's necessary in this weather for people to stand watch at the prow, nor do I believe sending a large number of troops trekking across snowy wilderness is smart."

General Sied looked at Tiago, who had wrapped himself into a ball but was still shivering. He shook his head in disdain and said: "I am the commander, you either take a speedboat back to Alakanaq or shut your mouth and stop pointing fingers at me.

Vincent spent a lot of money and effort preparing the equipment on the shore, and the plan was long made; should we abandon it just because the temperature dropped a few degrees?"

As he spoke, Sied placed a map on the table, pointing at the Brown Bear Camp circled in red, along with several attack routes marked with arrows, saying: "That Mountain Eagle is waiting there, he's already prepared...

Alaska's freezing weather is the wall he prepared for himself, if you don't even have the courage to break that wall, what qualifications do you have to challenge him?"

Tiago listened, slammed the table hard, glared at General Sied, and shouted: "Then let your people do the guarding job, let your men ride snowmobiles across the snow.

Fuck, you're fucking crazy...

Don't think I don't know, you're using my people to test your drugs, I damn well understand stimulants better than you...

You damn well need to stop your pointless experiment, if my people freeze to death again because of your unreasonable demands, you won't see a penny of the final payment."

General Sied curled his mouth, remained silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Your people aren't capable of operating the heavy weapons on the boat, asking them to carry machine guns through the wetlands and then cooperating with us across the Yukon River to attack the Brown Bear Camp is the most gentle arrangement for them.

Tiago, you need to understand, my people have to carry out the final attack, which is the most difficult part.

And if you want to take those scouts back, you have to listen to me!"

Tiago looked through the window at the ammunition boxes piled on the prow, two large-caliber mortars and grenade launchers already welded to the deck, he unhappily rubbed his stiff face...

"The money from the Sinaloa is easy and hard to earn, Hope the final results satisfy us all..."
