Chapter 1

Chunk Cook lay on the edge of the crevasse and shone a powerful flashlight into the depths.“Captain Shaw, Linda’s stopped responding. Should we lower a rope and check on her?”Joshua Shaw did not even turn around. He was carefully adjusting Wendy Jones' windproof collar."Check on her for what? Linda is one of the country's top glacier rescue experts."The crevasse is only a dozen meters deep. Even if she fell in, she would be fine. She could spend the night down there without the slightest problem."She's only pretending to be dead because she wants everyone to think Wendy hurt her."Wendy huddled in Joshua's arms and timidly tugged at his sleeve."Josh, is Linda angry with me again? Should I go and apologize to her?"Joshua reached out and ruffled Wendy's hair. His expression instantly softened."Ignore her. If only she were half as considerate as you. Let her freeze down there for a while. Once she has suffered enough, she'll learn her lesson."Chunk's voice cracked with urgency.“

Wendy suddenly sneezed.Joshua's brow furrowed, and his eyes filled with concern.He immediately pried open my locker, pulled out my polar survival suit, and draped it over Wendy's shoulders.I floated in midair and watched the scene coldly.Wendy bit her lip and pretended to look uneasy."Josh, this is Linda's suit. Will she be upset if she comes back and sees me wearing it?"Joshua snorted, looking completely unconcerned."She has spent years roughing it on glaciers. A little cold won't kill her. Besides, I was the one who gave her this suit."I decide who gets to wear it now. What right does she have to complain?"His words struck me as utterly ridiculous.Three years ago, I joined a rescue team for my first training exercise in a glacier crevasse.I lacked experience, so I quickly became hypothermic and nearly lost consciousness from the cold.Joshua took off his own survival suit despite the freezing temperatures and wrapped it around me. He then tucked my hands inside his jacket

Wendy tugged at Joshua's sleeve and gave it a gentle shake."Josh, why don't you take a team to check on her? What if it really was an avalanche?"If something really happened to Linda, I wouldn't be able to live with myself."I floated beneath the ceiling and watched her look as if she were about to cry. I felt sick.She was the one who pushed me into the crevasse, yet she now wore such an innocent, harmless expression.Joshua clasped Wendy's hand."Why should I go? She deliberately jumped into the crevasse herself. Even if she really ran into an avalanche, she brought it upon herself!"He took off his gloves and slipped them onto Wendy's hands."Wendy, haven't you always wanted to photograph the stars from a glacial canyon? Come on. I'll take you there right now."Chunk's expression changed instantly, and he stepped directly in front of the door.“Captain Shaw, leaving the station without authorization is a serious violation of expedition safety regulations!”"Besides, the snow vehi

Joshua slammed on the accelerator and drove the snow vehicle out of the camp.Wendy sat in the passenger seat and sighed."Linda really went too far this time. She even dared to impersonate an international rescue team just to spite you."If word got out, the entire expedition team would be punished, and you would be blamed for it too, Josh."Joshua tightened his grip on the steering wheel and snorted."She's insane. She'll resort to any low-handed tactic to compete for my attention. I must have been blind to fall for her in the first place."Once this mission ends, I'll kick her off the team and cut ties with her for good!"The snow vehicle raced across the ice sheet.I floated in midair and followed behind them.The vehicle rounded a bend, and several rescue vehicles blocked the road ahead.A security cordon had already been set up, and more than a dozen members of the international rescue team were gathered around one spot.Joshua had no choice but to hit the brakes, his brows drawn

Joshua’s hand remained suspended in midair as he stared at me on the stretcher, his eyes widened violently.My skin had long since lost the color of life and taken on a horrifying blue-gray hue.Thick frost covered my eyelashes.Shards of my cracked face shield had pierced deep into my cheeks, while the blood had frozen into dark purple clumps of ice.His gaze moved downward to my mangled right leg.An ice spike had pierced through my protective suit, and the torn flesh was encrusted with dark-red clots of blood.No living person could have faked such a gruesome state.Joshua stood completely frozen.His lips trembled for a long time. He let out heavy, ragged breaths, but not a single word came out.Wendy followed him over and poked her head forward for a look."Ah!"She covered her eyes and threw herself into Joshua’s arms."Josh, how did Linda end up like this? This is all my fault! I shouldn’t have made her angry. How could she do this to herself?"Wendy’s tears usually made Joshua

Chapter 6

Chunk’s eyes were bloodshot as he delivered a vicious kick to Joshua’s ribs.Caught off guard, Joshua rolled twice across the snow.He lay face down, making no attempt to fight back or even get up.Chunk rushed over and grabbed Joshua by the collar, hauling him halfway off the ground.“Joshua, take a good look! Look at how Linda died! If you hadn’t stopped me from going out to rescue her, Linda wouldn’t have frozen to death!”Wendy climbed out of the snow and hurried over to grab Chunk’s arm.Tears streamed down her face, but her voice sounded utterly innocent.“Chunk, stop hitting him! It was an accident. Josh never wanted this to happen!“Linda lost her footing and fell in herself. How can you blame Josh for everything?”Chunk spun around and forcefully shook off Wendy’s hand.Wendy used the momentum to fall to the ground and let out a startled cry.At that moment, a young expedition team member stepped out of the crowd. It was Ryan Cole, who was usually the most timid and cowardly m

Chapter 7

Chunk could not believe Joshua was still protecting Wendy. He snatched back the journal and turned to leave.Late that night, the freezing wind howled outside the expedition station.A heated argument suddenly erupted in the corridor outside the control room.I floated in midair and followed the voices.Chunk had Wendy cornered against the wall. He pried a tiny USB drive from her palm.The moment Wendy saw Joshua, her legs gave out, and she dropped to the floor.Tears streamed down her face as her entire body trembled.“Josh, it only contains photos of penguins and my diary. He insisted on taking it from me. He even tried to assault me. Please, help me get it back!”Joshua’s face turned ashen with fury. He strode forward and reached for Chunk’s collar.Chunk moved faster. He turned, stepped into the control room, and inserted the USB drive into the computer on the control console.The large screen lit up instantly.There were no penguin photos. Instead, it displayed a series of hidde

Joshua stood rooted to the spot, his face ashen.He finally understood that I was never jealous or fighting Wendy for his affection.I was only carrying out my duties as deputy captain and doing everything I could to protect the country’s classified information.Yet he treated the real spy like a treasure and shielded her with his own arms.He even caused the death of his most loyal partner with his own hands for the sake of that thief.Now that everything had been exposed, Wendy realized she could not escape and finally dropped the act.She snorted and tore off her mask.“Linda was such a bitch. She was always sticking her nose into other people’s business! I drugged her water several times and tried to kill her, but she was too lucky to drink it.“She refused to let me take the monitoring card. She brought her death upon herself!”Wendy turned toward Joshua, her eyes filled with mockery.“Joshua, you’re just as hopeless as you were when you were a child! You believed I wanted to reki

Chapter 9

The handcuffs clicked shut around Wendy’s wrists, and her wild laughter abruptly stopped.She twisted and struggled desperately.“You can’t arrest me! I’m a foreigner! You’re damaging international relations!”The task-force commander leading the operation watched her coldly.“This area falls under the jurisdiction of Frostfall Station. You stole classified intelligence belonging to our country.“Regardless of your nationality, you’ll face life imprisonment or even the death penalty.”“Take her away!Wendy was forcibly hauled to her feet and dragged outside. As she passed Joshua, she continued crying out for help.“Josh, save me! I don’t want to die in prison!”But Joshua did not even look at her.The task-force commander turned around and looked at Joshua, who was still kneeling on the floor.Joshua stared blankly at the ground, completely unresponsive to everything around him.“Joshua.”The task-force commander’s voice turned stern.“As captain of the expedition team, you ignored dis
