People often say that men and women working together can make light work, and it seems that there really is something to it.
The two of them, one digging and the other scraping, were still smiling despite the numbness in their fingers from the cold, even with gloves on.
Especially Ruoxue, who usually sat in an office high above the rest—how could she have ever done something like this before?
Initially, Ruoxue wanted to chat while working, but Su Chen immediately stopped her, explaining that talking would consume more of their energy and oxygen.
However, being a woman and without any suitable tools on hand, like a shovel, Ruoxue's scraping was quite slow.
Su Chen dug a segment and then worked with her to move the excavated snow out before continuing to dig upward.
After over half an hour, they had finally managed to dig an upward passage just big enough for one person to pass through.
