Chapter 402: Chapter 390: Impressive

The fire was burning strongly, and Yang Yi slept soundly. He knew that someone would often come into the room at night to add wood to his stove, but he didn’t wake up all night because he was indeed very tired and also very weak.

The room was dark, but you could still see things in the light cast by the fire in the stove. Yang Yi reached for the switch by the bed to turn on the light, but it didn’t come on.

Yang Yi sat up in bed, first pressing gently against the area around the incision through his clothing, feeling some pain. The surgical wound was healing well, but his frequent movements over the past few days had delayed the healing process.

After grabbing his watch from the bedside, Yang Yi looked at the time, only to be surprised to find that it was already ten o’clock in the morning, yet it was still pitch dark outside.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Yi remembered that he was near the Arctic Circle, and possibly even within it, so it being dark at ten in the morning was perfectly normal.

Slowly dressing himself in thicker clothing, Yang Yi then slowly got out of bed.

When he touched the wheelchair, Yang Yi realized that the armrests were wrapped in a layer of cloth.

The genuine leather wheelchair with wooden armrests was considered high-end equipment in the United Kingdom, but after arriving in Finland, the leather seat and armrests would become very cold. It would be uncomfortable to sit in, and someone had thoughtfully put a layer of fur on his wheelchair and wrapped the armrests in thick cloth last night while he was asleep, so he definitely wouldn’t feel cold when sitting down again.

In that instant, Yang Yi’s heart was very moved.

Yang Yi thought that apart from Kate, no one else would have thought to do this for him.

Yang Yi didn’t sit in the wheelchair. He didn’t want to go outside, just intended to go to the bathroom.

When Yang Yi reached the middle of the room, the door silently opened, and then he saw Kate and Rodriguez appear at his doorway, with both of them holding something.

Immediately afterward, Yang Yi saw a fully geared-up Zhang Yong also standing at his doorway.

"You’re awake, we brought you something to eat, come have breakfast."

Yang Yi nodded to Kate, then turned to Zhang Yong, who stood in the hallway looking at him silently and motionless, and said, "Are you going out? To take on Pasanin alone?"

Zhang Yong was silent for a moment, then he spoke in a low voice, "No, I’ve just come back."

"Just come back?"

Zhang Yong took a deep sigh and then turned his head away, saying, "I’m humiliated, deeply shamed. Damn it... deeply shamed!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Yong sighed again, then walked away with his head lowered, looking completely dejected.

Zhang Yong opened the door to his own room, walked in, and then closed it heavily from inside.

Rodriguez put a basin on the table, then went back to close the door, and spoke softly to Yang Yi, "Boss, don’t ask anything, he’s angry right now!"

Yang Yi also lowered his voice and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Kate shrugged her shoulders, took out a piece of bread, felt it with her hands, and said, "It got cold so quickly, I’ll warm it up for you."

After speaking, Kate also spoke in a low voice, "Zhang Yong and Pasanin went out at seven o’clock, then just came back together. No one knows what happened between them, but one thing is certain, Zhang Yong suffered a terrible defeat."

Yang Yi was about to speak when he heard Zhang Yong yelling from his room, "Are you talking about me? Are you!"

Yang Yi hadn’t said a word yet, but saw Zhang Yong suddenly pull open his room’s door, enter, and then shut it with a loud bang.

"Speak up if you have something to say!"

After grunting, Zhang Yong saw the soup basin on the table and the bread in Kate’s hand, and suddenly said, "Rod, go get some more food, I’ll eat this first, I’m starving."

Zhang Yong sat at the only table in the room, then muttered, "I’m freezing to death, starving to death, just let me eat first."

Kate handed over the bread, and Zhang Yong immediately took a big bite.

In a low voice, Kate said, "Why not go to the dining hall? They have smoked reindeer meat there. We didn’t bring smoked meat for Yang Yi, it doesn’t suit him."

Zhang Yong sighed and said indistinctly, "Won’t go, it’s embarrassing, I’m too ashamed to go there, let’s just eat here. Go get me some, will you?"

"Oh, okay."

Rodriguez hurriedly turned and left. Yang Yi shook his head, went to the restroom, and after coming back, he sat in his wheelchair with a concerned expression and asked, "What’s up?"

Zhang Yong sighed again.

"At seven in the morning, Pasanin came looking for me. We both got fully geared up and went out, no shooting, just chasing each other. I figured even if I couldn’t find him, as long as he exposed himself trying to find me, I’d win. With our marksmanship, spotting the other first means victory."

"Hmm, and then?"

Zhang Yong stopped eating and sighed heavily again.

"We went out together, walked together, then split up. After that, I hid in the woods and covered myself with snow. I thought, as soon as he tries to find me and shows his head, I can ’kill’ him! Of course, it’s just a simulation, I shout and if he hears me, he loses."

"Isn’t that sort of like cheating, though...?"

"Can’t really call it cheating, it’s just a bit sneaky maybe."

"What’s the difference?"

Zhang Yong glared and said, "What’s with the interruptions? Can you stop interrupting? Do you think I enjoy talking about these embarrassing things?"

"Alright, alright, you’re in the right because you’re embarrassed; just tell your story."

Zhang Yong sighed yet again, then with a look of utter dejection, he said, "I buried myself in the snow, and after waiting in that snow pile for half an hour, I couldn’t stand the cold anymore. I just moved a bit, really just ’sighed’ because my hand was cold, then I heard someone behind me ask, ’Can’t take it anymore?’ I damn near lost my soul, I turned my head and guess what, Pasanin was squatting right behind me, fuck..."

Yang Yi was surprised and said, "Even if he’s good at snow combat, he couldn’t have gotten behind you silently, right? How close?"

Zhang Yong gestured and said with a downcast face, "Just over a meter, definitely not two meters..."

"Impressive! How did he do it? What did you do?"

Yang Yi exclaimed in amazement, but Zhang Yong sighed deeply yet again.

"If I knew that, I’d be set..."

Yang Yi patted Zhang Yong on the shoulder and said, "Don’t take it to heart, that’s their specialty. You didn’t lose unfairly, what’s to fear from one loss?"

Zhang Yong looked at Yang Yi and, with an upset expression, said, "Fuck! The worst part isn’t losing once, it’s losing three times..."
