After swiftly and cleanly defeating the monster, Su Li carried the corpse back to her companions.

Song Mingyu spoke first, "Give me the body, let me examine the internal organs."

"I can have the meat, let me see if I can eat it," Sofia followed closely behind.

Ivan glanced at the group and, feeling he couldn't be an outsider, added, "Then the bone is for me?"

Su Li was delighted to hear this, thinking it was a perfect way to use the fish in four ways. "Anything is fine, anything is fine. All we need is a teammate who can utilize souls."

The group was immediately filled with a joyful atmosphere.

With most of the things packed, Zuli transformed back into a sled dog, pulling the sled towards the train.

Back on the train, I sorted and put away all the received goods.

Zuli preserved the toxin-containing gland in a glass bottle. First, she used a knife to remove the bits of flesh and oily membrane from the gland, and then soaked it in alcohol.

After soaking in this gland for several days and undergoing some processing, it can be used to poison weapons or to make some toxic agents.

Su Li didn't know if she would ever have the chance to use it, but it was good to have it on hand. Just in case it came in handy.

I don't know if it will be useful in the future, but I know I need it.

This is the awareness of the Squirrel Party (Collectors)!

After a busy day, it was getting late. Su Li glanced at the weather outside. The sky was cloudless, and in the extreme cold, the clouds had turned into snow and fallen to the ground.

Su Li pursed his lips, feeling his mouth dry. He finally understood why the Northeast was so dry and cold; in such cold weather, the moisture in the air was frozen solid.

The sun outside is slowly setting.

"It's getting dark so quickly," Su Li remarked. Based on his sense of time, it should only be four o'clock in the afternoon.

He calculated the time in his mind. There were only about 9 hours of daylight here. At night, the temperature would drop, the elemental erosion would accelerate, and the visibility would be limited, so it was not advisable to go out. Based on this calculation, they would have very little time to go out and explore.

Su Li, carrying a cup of hot water, swayed as she entered the duty room. As soon as she went in, she saw Sophia beating Ivan.

Poor Ivan was almost as tall as his sister, but he was still beaten and screamed in pain.

Su Li could tell that Sophia wasn't serious, so she happily held up her teacup and leaned against the door to watch the show.

"Brother-in-law, control your wife!" Ivan grinned and pleaded with Su Li for help.

"No, I can't beat your sister." Su Li waved her hands repeatedly. This was the truth. When Su Li and her sister sparred, Su Li was quickly wiped out. Recently, after Sophia's strength improved greatly, she could not only control her muscles but also enchant them. Who could stand up to that? "Besides, Sophia is so calm and has such a good temper. If she's angry and hits you, it must be because you did something wrong."

Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, you can't go wrong by siding with your wife in a situation like this.

"Hmph!" Sophia released her grip on Ivan's head. "If there's a next time, you'll be sorry."

Su Li walked up to the little brother with a smile, looked at the five-finger mark on the little brother's head, and exclaimed, "Oh my, young man, I see your forehead is flushed, this is great fortune, you are about to have a great stroke of luck!"

"Hmph, you just stood by and watched me die. Brother-in-law, you wait and see. If you and Mingyu have anything going on, I'll tell my sister on you." Ivan rubbed his head angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have no ill intentions towards Sister Mingyu," Su Li quickly clarified. He was joking, though; his wife was listening intently. He quickly changed the subject, "What did you do to make your sister so angry?"

"My shoes got wet while I was exploring outside."

Su Li nodded. It was nothing. Their shoes weren't very waterproof. If they walked outside for a long time, snow would get inside and make their shoes wet.

To keep their feet warm, they wore many layers of socks, and when they returned, their socks were almost completely soaked.

Su Li just washed her socks and changed into new ones before she started working on the materials.

"Then I hung my socks on the radiator in my room. My sister saw them when she brought me the socks, and then she beat me up."

Su Li immediately understood why he had been beaten up.

Ivan was going through puberty and his body was growing rapidly, so his hormone levels were high. Plus, he was Caucasian, so frankly, he had a strong body odor.

This is a physiological characteristic. Of course, Ivan's body has already reached a transcendent level, and his body odor has decreased significantly; he is now almost like a normal Asian.

However, once these socks are placed on the radiator to heat up, all the aromas are released. Plus, everyone in my family has an extremely keen sense of smell, so it's a bit too much for them.

"Serves you right. When I was in school, I would get scolded for drying my socks on the radiator." Su Li slapped her little brother on the back of the head. "You're so sloppy, what a waste of your face."

"What is Aruba?" Ivan clearly hadn't heard of this popular game that was all the rage in many schools.

Su Li grinned mischievously, gesturing with her fingers, "Look, these are your legs, hey, legs spread apart, this is a tree, and then we—bang!"

"Hiss~" Ivan gasped, "Brother-in-law, are you guys playing this high?"

"What are we playing?" Song Mingyu arrived late and sat opposite Su Li. After speaking, she let out a huge yawn, completely lacking the demeanor of a pretty girl.

"Aruba".

"Oh, that? Don't play too excitingly. I'm not familiar with pelvic floor surgery. If anything happens, we can only remove it first," Song Mingyu casually said, making one's blood run cold.

Zuli and Ivan exchanged a glance and decided to skip the topic.

[However, the fact that Sister Mingyu came out at this time means that her research must have yielded some preliminary results.] Su Li glanced at Song Mingyu and keenly noticed that the wrists of Song Mingyu's white coat were damp.

Song Mingyu ran her fingers through her long, fluffy hair before saying, "We've made some progress. Sophia's still busy cooking, let's talk about it later."

After saying that, he leaned back on the sofa and adopted the "Ge You lying down" posture.

It turns out that good-looking people look good no matter what they do. Even when Song Mingyu, looking like a middle-aged man, reached into his clothes and scratched his belly, he still looked pleasing to the eye.

Su Li put down the hot water she had been holding, rolled up her sleeves, and went to Sophia's side. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Keep an eye on the oven for me," Sofia said, then moved a little to the side.

Soon after, the entire duty room was filled with a rich, slightly sour, and enticing aroma.

Once the food in the oven had turned out exactly as Sofia had described, Zuli quickly opened the oven and took the food out.

By this time, Sofia's main dish, which she had been stewing for a long time, was ready.

On the table, Ivan had already set out the bowls and chopsticks, and together with Song Mingyu, they held their utensils and waited for the meal to begin.
