The Moonlight Is So Beautiful

The huge metal claws swung before his eyes, yet he stood there like a stone without the slightest reaction. Wouldn't that make Zhao Bai an idiot?

Luckily, Heavy Cannon Rabbit was quick enough.

With a flick of its claws, mottled afterimages flashed before Zhao Bai's eyes, and his chin was smooth as new.

Because of the polar night, they had not been tanned by the sun. Instead, they were even fairer than before they had set off. Zhao Bai arrived at the agreed-upon dock and entered the cockpit without hindrance or any verification.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Amber was sprawled on the sofa, crunching away at a bag of plain potato chips. No one had informed her that the boss was coming. Zhao Bai and Bronya appeared out of nowhere, leaving her completely flustered.

"Boss?"

In a voice like Ai-chan's, she asked, "Why are you back?"

Zhao Bai was not angry at all. Smiling, he said, "Don't tell me you've been lying around slacking off on the icebreaker this whole time? If they find out, they'll dock your pay."

"Please, no..."

The icebreaker slowly began to move.

The route had already been opened. After a long period of effort, Amber had carved out a path across the Arctic Ocean from nothing. Logically, they no longer needed to keep riding the icebreaker, but in the spirit of saving wherever possible, they still boarded the slow, aging nuclear-powered icebreaker.

Starting from the Arctic Ocean, they headed south all the way.

Perhaps Amber had learned of Boss Zhao's exploits in Antarctica. Now she had an almost pathological obsession with saving money, though no one knew who she was working so hard for.

Bronya was taking a bath.

The snowfields were beautiful, but they also came with many inconveniences, and bathing was one of them.
