"Oh my God, how long has it been since then? Why did it suddenly rain so hard?" Luo Baochun rubbed his hands and felt a slight chill from the sudden drop in temperature.
"Ah! If this happens next night, I'm afraid it will be troublesome for us to hit the road tomorrow!" Hu Xiaodong touched his chin with a worried look on his face.
Tang Xiaoquan nodded: "If there is serious snow on the road, we probably won't be able to go back."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in awe.
With the supplies they had on hand, it wouldn't be a big deal to stay outside.
But what to do with the family members in the camp? They don’t have that much stockpile for the winter.
In addition, Lao Xu was still waiting for everyone to rescue him, so the unexpected heavy snow really disrupted everyone's plans.
"There is no way, the power of nature is irresistible. Let's wait and see later. I hope God will be merciful and stop this bad weather as soon as possible." Waving his hand, Hu Xiaodong called everyone back to the table.
After all, the weather won't change even if you sit in front of the window, so it's better to fill your stomach with food.
After dinner, Wei Dazhuang, Wang Qiang and others took a rest.
Hu Xiaodong and Huabiao were also looking for a place to sleep while driving tomorrow.
At the moment, only Tang Xiaoquan and Huo Yuankai were standing on the table, staring with big eyes.
Tang Xiaoquan was unable to sleep because he was responsible for keeping vigil, while Huo Yuankai was upset and couldn't sleep.
The awkwardness of the atmosphere made Tang Xiaoquan think that he should say something, but Huo Yuankai's almost dead expression made Tang Xiaoquan give up the idea.
In order to avoid depression, he touched the tablet that Hu Xiaodong dropped and clicked on the video surveillance, intending to have some fun.
Unfortunately, due to the bad weather, all the cameras were covered in snow, making it impossible to see anything.
Ah, this thing Li Zhong created still has flaws. I have to give him some suggestions when I get back, so that he can truly work around the clock.
There was nothing to say all night, and the bored Tang Xiaoquan just sat there with Huo Yuankai for the whole night.
At dawn the next day, Tang Xiaoquan twisted his sore neck and walked to the window to check the strength of the snow.
It doesn't matter if you open the curtain. At the right moment, Tang Xiaoquan's brain, which was still slightly tired, was shaken awake by the biting cold.
White, dazzling white. As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of white.
The heavy snow is still falling hard and has not weakened at all due to the prayers of survivors.
Not only that, the street pavement was also covered with snow all night, and was piled half a foot deep.
The situation is not optimistic. Seeing this scene, Tang Xiaoquan quickly went back to the back room to wake everyone up.
No verbal explanation is needed as the survivors gather at the window and look out. The snowy scene outside said it all.
It is undeniable that the white snow in the sky is extremely beautiful, and the pure white seems to be able to wash away all dirt and sin.
If this were normal, such beautiful scenery would definitely be what people expected.
But now, for the members of the apocalyptic survivor team, they are really not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery.
"Damn it! The weather really rained all night long!" Luo Baochun cursed secretly, as an experienced driver who runs long distances all year round. What he hates most is rain and snow.
"Brother Hu, what do you think? I think we should set off quickly, otherwise the snow will continue to drag on at this rate. I'm worried..."
Tang Xiaoquan didn't finish what he said later, but everyone understood the worry in his words.
"Well, that makes sense. The snow won't stop for a while. Even if it stops, we'll have to wait until the snow melts. It's easier to walk on the ice underneath. Let's set out quickly and get back to the station before the situation worsens."
"Then... Brother Huo's side..." Tang Xiaoquan glanced in the direction of Huo Yuankai with a slightly worried look. The other party's silent behavior last night made Tang Xiaoquan a little worried.
"I'll go tell him. We can't delay this matter. If he insists on staying, there's nothing we can do about it." Hu Xiaodong seemed quite determined. As an adult, although he also knew what Huo Yuankai was thinking, he could not do anything about it at this moment. He must have the overall situation in mind. Maybe Huo Yuankai was really pitiful, but the brothers stationed at the station were still waiting for him, Hu Xiaodong, to bring food back. It was impossible for him to put his brothers in danger for the sake of others.
He absolutely cannot take this risk! With this limit in mind, Hu Xiaodong walked quickly towards Huo Yuankai.
"Brother Huo!" He got straight to the point. In view of the tight time, Hu Xiaodong skipped the meandering pleasantries and went straight to the topic: "Now that the door is closed due to heavy snow outside, we plan to leave immediately and return to the base camp. All the brothers at home are waiting for this batch of supplies, so I want to ask for your opinion, are you willing to come with me?"
Raising his eyebrows and looking at Hu Xiaodong, Huo Yuankai seemed a little hesitant.
On the one hand, he was worried that if he left, the matter of rescuing the children would come to nothing.
On the other hand, he is afraid that if he doesn't go with the other party and the other party doesn't come back, then there will be no way to solve the son's problem.
But after a brief consideration, Huo Yuankai made a choice.
"Will you come back when you go back?" I wrote down this question. This is undoubtedly very important to Huo Yuankai.
Hu Xiaodong nodded and said "will".
Hearing this, Huo Yuankai seemed to make up his mind and nodded in agreement to go home with the survivor team.
The son finally defeated the student. Huo Yuankai's actions were absolutely in line with common sense.
"Okay!" Huo Yuankai replied in the affirmative, which greatly saved Hu Xiaodong's persuasion time.
At that moment, he immediately gave instructions and told all the team members to pack their things quickly. Everyone got out of the house and pedaled, and started the return journey.
There are many twists and turns, and the snow on the road brings great inconvenience to everyone's walking.
Fortunately, the snow will cover my ankles. Although it is in the way, it is not impossible to walk.
It took a lot of effort to walk out of the alley, but the four trucks had lost track under the baptism of snow.
If they hadn't parked their cars there earlier, everyone might have mistaken the four white rectangles in front of them for ice sculptures carved by some performance artist.
Snow clearing was unavoidable. Fortunately, it was only one night and the snow had not yet frozen. Otherwise, just defrosting the glass would have required the survivors to drink a bottle.
After being busy and struggling for about 10 minutes, the team members finally managed to roughly remove the snow and water accumulated on the roof and glass of the car.
After finishing it, everyone started pedaling and started the return journey.
Along the way, no one spoke, and no one admired the snowy scenery on the road.
Everyone is wary of the road conditions. After the apocalypse, the city is in chaos, and a lot of waste is inevitably discarded on the roads because people are running away.
Although these things are not very eye-catching, some of them can cause fatal damage to the wheels.
In the past, these abandoned objects could be clearly seen, but now the snow was piled up, and everything was covered in white.
So if you don't be careful, accidents may happen.
In order to avoid this, the survivors had to be alert to everything around them. (To be continued.)
