Not long after, they arrived at the gate of the community. A thick wall of snow stood in front of them. This height had already reached their height!
"Look here, the snow fell at different times. The bottom layer is the most frozen, followed by the middle layer. The top layer of snow is very soft but not very thick."
"Don't panic if we fall down halfway, we can climb up bit by bit."
Wu Ming said.
As they talked, they prepared to come to the top of the snow.
Just at this time, Lin Zhao came. Seeing that they were ready to set off, he shouted enthusiastically: "Officer Wu, did you bring enough things this time? How about I get some more?"
"No need, everything is ready. I hope you can help me take care of those brothers while I'm out."
"That's natural. Officer Wu's brother is my brother. Don't worry."
Wu Ming nodded.
After a difficult climb, they finally came to stand on the snow.
On their feet is a homemade ski, which is simply a curved board, and then they are tied with shoes to become a ski.
Wu Ming tried it. The skis could be walked on, but they were slightly dented. Once they started sliding, they would not have much impact.
"Let's go!"
The three people put on their goggles, then paddled their snow poles and moved forward little by little.
This is the first time Qin Bai has left his community since the disaster struck.
It was completely different from the previous scenery. Standing on top of the snow and looking around, there was white everywhere.
Some cars parked on the roadside were buried in snow and nothing could be seen.
This area is all flat, and the snow is naturally flat. There is no height difference and it is impossible to slide.
"If we keep going at this rate, we'll probably be able to reach the police station before dark."
Wu Ming was speechless when he saw how fast they moved.
They thought well before and arrived at the police station in about an hour, but it got off to a bad start.
This speed is really similar to that of a turtle crawling.
In one hour, they actually walked less than 300 meters.
On the one hand, it is indeed difficult to walk. On the other hand, the temperature is still very low. Walking on the snow is very physically demanding.
Often after walking, they have to take a break to prevent their energy from being exhausted too quickly.
"No, I'm too tired. I need to take a rest."
Dong Zijiang waved his hand and said.
"Okay, let's rest for a few minutes before setting off."
Wu Ming nodded.
They looked back and saw that the community was in front of them.
After more than a month of fitness, Qin Bai's physique has become much stronger, much better than Dong Zijiang's.
"There should be a short downhill road ahead that we can slide over."
Qin Bai pointed to the front and said.
A few minutes later, they set off again, and then reached the downhill section that Qin Bai said.
Wu Ming was the first to go over. Although he had never skied before, he had seen it before. He lowered his body and slid down slowly.
Qin Bai and Dong Zijiang followed closely behind, sliding towards the front at a very slow speed.
After walking, they finally walked a distance of almost one kilometer. From here, looking towards the community, it was already a bit far away.
"Hey, look, isn't this the community next door? They don't even have a snow plow, and you can't even see a road?"
Dong Zijiang suddenly saw something and pointed forward.
Qin Bai looked over and saw the gate of the community closest to them. There was only some messy snow there, but there was no road for people to walk on.
"Not all people in the community are willing to clear snow. Committee member Cao of our community is indeed quite capable."
Wu Ming explained.
Dong Zijiang was very puzzled: "But didn't she say she had received instructions from her superiors?"
Qin Bai smiled and said: "It's very simple. There are no instructions from superiors at all, she just said that on purpose."
"Otherwise, she'll just ask you to go down and clear the snow, will you do it?"
Dong Zijiao suddenly realized that it seemed that Cao Fengjiao had done something good?
Because no one is willing to clear the snow, there is no formal road in this community. If they want to go to other buildings, they need to climb through the thick snow.
In this way, they stepped on the snow and carved a path, but this path was very inconvenient.
Just as they were about to pass by the gate of this community, a shout reached their ears.
"Hey! Are you a rescue team sent by the country?"
After hearing the voice, Qin Bai looked over and saw that the person calling was an eighty-nine-year-old boy.
He was standing on the balcony, waving and shouting at them.
Qin Bai didn't want to speak, Dong Zijiang didn't bother to reply, and only Wu Ming responded.
"We are not a rescue team sent by the state, we are residents of the community over there."
Wu Ming said.
"Then can you help me? My grandma is lying on the ground and can't get up."
the boy continued shouting, a sad look on his face.
"Ah this..."
Wu Ming's reason told him not to be a good person casually.
But his sense of responsibility as a police officer prevented him from saying no.
Seeing Wu Ming's embarrassed look, Qin Bai held his shoulders, shook his head slightly, and then shouted to the boy: "Kid, you can call your neighbors for help, we can't go."
The boy's expression became even more sad: "But none of the neighbors were willing to help. I knocked on many doors, but they were unwilling to come out."
Wu Ming frowned tightly. What kind of neighbors are these? None of them can even help.
"Qin Bai, old Dong, I'm going to help him, you two leave first."
Wu Ming said.
In the end, he was still willing to help. It must be said that Wu Ming, the policeman, had nothing to say.
Dong Zijie squinted his eyes, and there was a hint of weirdness on his fleshy face.
"Officer Wu, it's not my fault. I always feel that little kid is a bit strange."
"What's weird? He should be living at home with his grandma alone. Now that grandma has passed away, he can't do anything on his own. It's normal."
Wu Ming said as he walked towards the community.
Qin Bai didn't speak. He had been observing the little boy.
Although the little boy was wearing heavy clothes and his face was covered, Qin Bai still saw this scene.
He saw that the little boy had a happy smile on his face after he found out that Wu Ming was willing to come over to help.
Logically speaking, happiness is a normal reaction, but Qin Bai seemed to see a different kind of happiness on the little boy's face.
Thinking of this, Qin Bai shouted to Wu Ming who had not gone far: "Officer Wu, maybe you can't do it alone, let's go over together to help."
Dong Zixiang was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the look in Qin Bai's eyes as he handed it to him.
