◎Happy Day 44: Be a Little Fierce◎

Hearing Qin Shiwu's voice, Jiang Muyun and Qin Shiwen said weakly: "It's okay... It's okay."

Qin Shiwen took a deep breath, paused the movie, and turned to look at Qin Shiwu: "It's raining so hard outside, why are you back? I just boiled some hot water this morning, so you should take a shower quickly and don't catch a cold."

When they got closer, they could see Qin Shiwu's current condition clearly.

There were gray-black marks on his face, as if mud and water had passed through his face. His glasses were hanging crookedly, his trouser legs were rolled up to his knees, and he was wearing a disposable raincoat that was wrinkled and stuck to his body.

But judging from the fact that Qin Shiwu was soaked all over, this raincoat should be of no use.

When the three of them saw Qin Shiwu like this, they all fell silent for a moment.

Qin Shiwu took off his raincoat and stuffed it into the trash can. Seeing that they were silent, he was confused again: "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Muyun couldn't help but sighed: "It's so similar..."

The question mark in Qin Shiwu's head was about to burst out: "What does it look like?"

Qin Shiwen pointed at the projection on the wall. The image showed a man covered in mud, approaching the door in the corner with a grim smile on his face.

Qin Shiwen paused at the perfect moment. In the movie, a flash of lightning occurred, illuminating the boss clearly.

Qin Shiwu was about to curse with a smile when a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, and the two faces overlapped perfectly.

"Brother, you've worked hard, go wash up." Jiang Muyun hurriedly pushed Qin Shiwu into the bathroom: "Chu Buwen, pour some water!"

Chu Buwen respectfully brought both thermoses from Qin Shiwu's house. Qin Shiwen was working overtime to boil water for her brother.

After Qin Shiwu came out of the shower, everyone calmed down and finally had time to ask him what happened.

Logically speaking, given the situation outside, he shouldn't have come back at this time.

Qin Shiwu was helpless when asked: "You were just busy watching the movie, right? Why don't you take a look out the window?"

The three pretended not to hear the first half of the sentence and looked down from the windowsill.

The rain outside was not letting up at all, and the ground was accumulating more and more water, causing a mist to splash out.

The three of them looked for a long time but couldn't see the specific situation downstairs, so they could only turn around to look at Qin Shiwu.

Qin Shiwu sighed: "Water has started to accumulate outside. Seeing that the rain is getting heavier, the rescue team went to the hospital first to prevent the situation from worsening and being unable to evacuate in time."

Under normal circumstances, with such heavy rain, the low-lying areas would be flooded up to people's knees in just two hours.

It rained for several hours today before the water reached the calf level. This was all thanks to the previously dried-up rivers and lakes, which relieved a lot of pressure on the drainage system in Nanshi.

Qin Shiwu had been in contact with the rescue team and knew more detailed information than Jiang Muyun and the others.

Now, don’t worry about the fact that all long-wave and short-wave communication signals have been cut off. All instructions are issued entirely by manpower. If we wait until a disaster occurs before starting the rescue operation, it will be too late.

After discussing with the rescue team, the hospital gave everyone two options.

Medical staff who are willing to stay can report their family members' information. If the situation worsens and they need to be transferred, the rescue team in charge of the hospital will help them pick up their families.

If you want to go home, hurry up and leave now while the water outside is not deep. The rescue team will accompany them part of the way.

Of course, in principle, the hospital does not support medical staff on duty to ask for leave to go home.

There is an old saying that severe droughts are followed by severe floods, but the previous drought was really too severe, and the rivers and lakes dried up. The possibility of a sudden flash flood now is really small.

Unless the rainfall is widespread and continues for several days.

The rescue team arrived at the hospital in advance just in case, so they would not stop anyone who wanted to go home.

As for the patients in the hospital, if their condition is not serious, they can be treated casually. But if they need hospitalization, don't even think about it.

For Qin Shiwu, if the rescue team had not come, he could still wait for the rain to stop in the hospital, but when the rescue team came, Qin Shiwu could no longer sit still and immediately took a raincoat and rushed home.

He also saw the news that Qin Shiwen had gone out, and he couldn't help but worry that Qin Shiwen was stuck on the road, so he went upstairs and went home without even taking off his raincoat, thinking that if Qin Shiwen hadn't come back yet, he would go out to find her directly.

But this is what greeted him when he got home.

Qin Shiwen felt guilty: "Since we're back now, let's go watch a movie together?"

This is the good thing about this kind of horror movie that focuses on sensory stimulation. Don't worry about the background, as long as the scenes are scary enough.

The battery capacity of the projector was impressive. After the four of them finished watching the original movie together, there was still some power left, so they picked another one to watch.

The good thing is that after watching the horror movie, the group calmed down, and the greater excitement offset the boredom, so they could go home calmly and do what they needed to do.

The downside is that Jiang Muyun had a dream about being chased by ghosts all night.

When Jiang Muyun woke up the next day, his body was sticky and covered in sweat.

The rain outside was still pouring down terribly, but the wind had stopped and the air was so humid and hot that it was hard to breathe.

Jiang Muyun thought that he was sweating because he was dreaming and the air was humid, so he raised the water tank and took a quick shower. When he felt comfortable, he continued watching the video.

As a result, less than two minutes after the video was opened, the coolness after taking a shower disappeared and she started sweating again due to the heat.

She glanced at the thermometer on the wall. It read thirty-seven degrees.

No wonder it's so uncomfortable.

It was damp, stuffy and hot. She felt like a crab, tied up in a pot and slowly steamed, unable to escape.

Luckily she had frozen a bunch of ice cubes before.

Jiang Muyun cleared a space and placed a large box of ice cubes on it.

She still lives in the study, which is a small space. After the ice cubes were put out, the temperature in the study changed significantly soon.

Jiang Muyun leaned back in the chair comfortably, feeling his breathing become lighter.

After relaxing for a while in the cool environment, Jiang Muyun finished watching a class and got up for a walk to go to the balcony to clean up the water bucket.

Now everyone has a bucket outside their balcony to collect water, and Jiang Muyun also made a bucket and fixed it on the clothesline.

She didn't know if it was her illusion or because the wind had stopped, but she always felt that the rain outside was heavier than yesterday, and she could hardly see anything through the curtain of water.

When Jiang Muyun emptied the bucket and returned, he looked downstairs. The floor was filled with mist, almost covering the windows of the residents on the lower floors.

It was a stormy day yesterday and the roads outside were deserted.

The wind has stopped today, but occasionally you can see people holding onto the wall and paddling in the water, rushing home.

But there was something wrong with the noise outside today. Through the rain, Jiang Muyun seemed to hear someone shouting.

Covered by the sound of the pouring rain, the voice sounded particularly unreal.

If you listen carefully, you can hear this sound from more than one place.

After a while, Jiang Muyun vaguely saw someone going out downstairs.

They didn't walk out, but there was something like a wooden board floating on the water. One person sat on the board, and another person pushed the board slowly forward.

Jiang Muyun calculated based on the extent of the water flooding the apartment building that the water outside was at least one meter and forty-five meters deep.

Is the water rising so fast?

Jiang Muyun estimated in his mind and found that considering the current rainfall, it was incredible that the water depth only accumulated to more than one meter after a day and a night.

As soon as she closed the window, she heard crying and shouting coming from the door, as if someone was knocking on the door next door.

Jiang Muyun opened the peephole and looked out.

There was a thin middle-aged woman outside, knocking on the door of 1502. Jiang Muyun had seen her several times. She was a neighbor living downstairs.

Qin Shiwu opened the door quickly, still wearing long sleeves, long pants and a mask.

The middle-aged woman was crying hard. When she saw Qin Shiwu coming out, she grabbed his hand and started shouting something.

She cried so hard and spoke so quickly that she was a little out of breath.

Qin Shiwu wanted her to drink a glass of water first when he came in, but the woman refused and stood there shouting for a long time with a hoarse voice.

Seeing that the two seemed to be about to start a fight, Jiang Muyun opened the door. After the door was opened, she vaguely understood that the woman's son had a high fever and she came to ask Qin Shiwu to help treat the disease.

The woman cried breathlessly, "We've tried everything. It's been early this morning, and the child is already confused. I have no other choice. Please go and take a look."

The child's father was not at home. She couldn't move her son by herself, and she couldn't call the emergency number. She watched her son's breath getting weaker and weaker. In desperation, she remembered that Qin Shiwu was studying medicine, so she found 1502 to try her luck.

Qin Shiwu understood and asked the woman what kind of medicine she had at home.

The woman had already taken out all the medicines in the house and fed them to her son. When Qin Shiwu asked her about it, she told him the names of all the medicines without even thinking.

Qin Shiwu felt something was wrong when he heard this. This woman had a complete set of commonly used medicines at home, including antipyretics. She had even rubbed the child with white wine and tried all the conventional fever-reducing methods.

If the fever doesn't go away, it's probably not a problem that can be solved at home.

Qin Shiwu hesitated for a moment. The woman seemed to realize something. She trembled all over and pleaded in her eyes. She grabbed Qin Shiwu as if he were holding a life-saving straw and kept begging, "Just go and take a look. Really, please go and take a look."

Qin Shiwu gritted his teeth and said to Qin Shiwen, "I'm going out."

If there is really no other way, you can only find a way to send the child to the hospital.

As he spoke, Qin Shiwu reached out to take the raincoat from the cabinet in the entrance hall.

Jiang Muyun sighed.

If it weren't for the end of the world, Qin Shiwu would definitely have become a very good doctor.

Jiang Muyun doesn't think sacrificing for others is a stupid thing, nor does he think that kindness will one day become a derogatory word.

Even if she lives three more lives, she will never have this kind of ideological awareness, but that does not stop her from respecting the contributions and greatness of these people.

Of course, the Madonna Complex and the Doctrine of the Father Complex, which are characterized by unbridled kindness and generosity towards others, are not within the scope of discussion.

If you are sick, treat the disease. Don’t use kindness to flatter yourself.

But rather than seeing Qin Shiwu become a kind person, she would rather Qin Shiwu live longer.

Jiang Muyun couldn't make the decision for him on this matter, so it all depended on Qin Shiwu's own choice.

The commotion outside lasted for quite a while, and Chu Buwen on the other end of the room also opened the door and could hear the noise clearly.

Chu Buwen looked across the corridor at Jiang Muyun. Jiang Muyun opened the iron gate and said to Qin Shiwu, "Brother Wu, go downstairs and check on the child first. If you can't, come back up and get your raincoat. We'll go down together."

Qin Shiwu was stunned for a moment, frowned and said in disagreement: "No, it's enough for me to go..."

It's raining so hard outside, and the water on the road is deep. Even if the wind has died down, it's still very dangerous to go to the hospital from here.

It should be said that it is more dangerous than yesterday.

He didn't think anything of it when he went out alone, but when he heard that Jiang Muyun and the others also wanted to go out, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Chu Buwen patted the middle-aged woman and said, "Sister, how old is your son this year?"

The middle-aged woman was now extremely sensitive about her son's affairs. She heard that the young men in front of her wanted to help send her son to the hospital.

She had shamelessly asked her familiar neighbors for help before.

The better ones would give her some advice and then politely refuse.

Those with a straightforward temper might point at her nose and scold her.

She knew it was dangerous and understood those neighbors who were unwilling to help. If she were in their shoes, she would not be willing to make this trip for others.

But when someone offered to help, she thought about her son who was burning with fever and dying, and she really couldn't say no.

The woman's hands were still shaking. She wiped away her tears. "He's ten or eighteen. He's tall and in good health, so he'll be fine... But I can't carry him."

As the woman spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably.

The woman looked only about 1.5 meters tall, extremely skinny, with protruding joints. Even if she could move her son, the water below would still drown her.

Taking her son out alone is tantamount to committing suicide.

Chu Buwen embraced Qin Shiwu and took the middle-aged woman downstairs: "Brother, you heard it too. You can't handle such a big guy by yourself. Let's go and check the situation first. If it doesn't work, we can go together."

Then he asked, "Sister, which floor is your home on? We'll go downstairs to find you later."

"My home is at 0301." The woman said, trying hard to hold back her sobs: "Thank you, thank you so much, you are the benefactors of my family."

Seeing that they were determined to go together, Qin Shiwu pursed his lips and felt a little regretful.

If he was alone, even if the woman asked him ten times, his answer would be that he was willing to help, even if it was raining heavily outside.

If the situation outside wasn't as bad as it is now, Qin Shiwu would be happy if Jiang Muyun and the others offered to help.

But now that the situations on both sides were combined, Qin Shiwu felt something was wrong.

Even if we ignore the road conditions, it is raining heavily outside and the temperature is so high. It will take at least an hour to get to the hospital from here.

I spent more than an hour soaking in the water and had to carry a big guy with me. I was at risk of hypothermia and heatstroke, and there was still the risk of catching a cold after returning safely.

If they accidentally get a wound in the water, or if they already have injuries on their body, the next person to have a high fever might be themselves.

It would be fine for him, but his sister and friends chose to go out and take risks because of his soft-heartedness, which made Qin Shiwu feel guilty that they were forced to take risks because of him.

Qin Shiwu frowned as he went downstairs.

He didn't want Jiang Muyun and the others to follow him, and he really couldn't bear to go back on his word after having promised them. He just thought about not going upstairs for a while and taking everyone to the hospital directly.

Since you have to wade through the water anyway, it doesn’t make much difference whether you wear a raincoat or not.

Jiang Muyun and his companions went home to change their clothes, put on goggles or rain masks, and then went downstairs.

As a result, before they reached the third floor, they ran into Qin Shiwu in the stairwell.

Qin Shiwu came back alone, looking unhappy.

Jiang Muyun and the others could guess what happened without asking.

Qin Shiwu whispered, "No need to go. It was too late when we went down, and the people had already left."

For a moment, the stairwell fell silent.

Qin Shiwu slowly exhaled and took the initiative to speak: "The boy originally had a skin disease and scratched himself all over. When it rained yesterday, he ran out and got wet in the rain."

"Yesterday's wind was so strong, the rainwater was mixed with a lot of mud and sand. The boy used that water to bathe, and the wound got dirtier and dirtier, and eventually it became infected and inflamed. I think he started having a fever in the middle of the night."

Qin Shiwu had been in the hospital for so long that he couldn't help but soften his heart when the patient could still be saved. However, after the dust settled, he quickly adjusted his mentality: "His mother was trapped outside yesterday. When she got home this morning, she found that the child had a fever. By then, it was too late to save him."

Having said that, Jiang Muyun finally understood what those noises she heard when she opened the window in the morning were.

Qin Shiwu smiled bitterly and touched Jiang Muyun's head: "I'm sorry. I'm a burden to you."

Jiang Muyun smiled but said nothing.

I hope Qin Shiwu can figure it out now.

It's okay to benefit others, but the premise is that you must never harm yourself. This is the extent of Jiang Muyun's thinking.

She respected heroes who were willing to sacrifice for others, but she didn't want someone she cared about to become that hero.

Qin Shiwu apologized to a few people, which was considered as his decision, and the matter was over.

"Oh, right. When I went downstairs just now, I saw someone discussing renting a room with the upstairs neighbors. They said the first floor is completely uninhabitable, and now even the residents on the second floor are a little scared and want to move upstairs."

Qin Shiwu remembered what he heard downstairs and felt that something seemed wrong.

"Since we're here, why not go down and take a look?" Chu Buwen suggested.

"I agree." Jiang Muyun, who had suffered from a lack of understanding of the outside world, voted in favor.

Qin Shiwen's adaptability and enthusiasm are among the best, and he took the lead and went downstairs.

When Qin Shiwu went upstairs, the crowd was mostly gathered on the third and fourth floors.

Now when they went downstairs, they saw that some people were already moving to a higher place in preparation for a rainy day.

The few of them reached the second floor and didn't go downstairs anymore.

The staircase on the second floor was half flooded, and there was a lot of debris floating on the water.

“Rising so fast?”

Nanshi has never had such heavy rain. Qin Shiwen thought that the first floor was flooded, and at most the water would reach above the knees. He did not expect it to be flooded to this extent.

"Think about the heavy rain in He City two years ago." Jiang Muyun said, "It feels like the rain in He City during that peak hour was not as heavy as it is now."

When the rain in Heshi was the heaviest, the average rainfall was over 100 millimeters per hour, and half of the city was flooded in a few hours.

They have been raining at the peak level for a whole day and night, and the rain is getting heavier.

The water hasn't reached the second floor yet. This only shows that the terrain of their community is not low, and the previous severe drought has drained the water system in Nanshi and the surrounding areas.

Qin Shiwen murmured, "It's been raining for so long and it's not letting up. Could it be that the drought is just over and now there's another flood?"

Jiang Muyun: "It's possible. Isn't it said that after a severe drought there will always be a severe flood? Fortunately, our house is on the 15th floor."

Qin Shiwen: "Don't you think you are a little too calm now?"

Jiang Muyun took two quick steps up the stairs. "There's nothing we can do if it's not calm. I can't call the clouds and say, 'Friends, there's enough water, stop it.' Or should we buy a boat now? I don't think the rain will stop anytime soon."

Qin Shiwen, who had only seen this scene in videos, thought for a moment: "If the rain keeps falling like this, I might as well buy a boat. Aren't there a lot of places selling paddleboards and kayaks over on the Xiaonan River?"

Chu Buwen interrupted: "No need for a paddle board, I have one."

Qin Shiwen was surprised: "You brought the paddleboard with you?"

Chu Buwen moved 1504 directly from the rescue point. Even in such a compact area, he even brought a paddleboard. How much does he love paddling?

Chu Buwen smiled sheepishly, "I bought it after I moved here. I just like to go into the valley, set up a tent, go boating, or something like that."

Qin Shiwen looked at Jiang Muyun: "Then you two have quite similar interests."

She remembered that Jiang Muyun had said before that he liked camping.

Jiang Muyun looked up and said, "We agree. If the rain doesn't stop, we can go out and buy a small boat."

Qin Shiwu said helplessly: "Be serious and stop joking. The current climate is too strange. Think about the previous temperature drops and rises. I feel that the rain outside is not right. I really need to consider buying a boat."

Jiang Muyun patted Qin Shiwu and said, "Don't worry, except for buying the boat, everything else is serious."

Qin Shiwu raised his hand to hit her.

Jiang Muyun dodged to the side and said, "Brother, seriously, where can you buy a boat at this time? It's more reliable to find a park pier and fish one out than to buy one."

In fact, Jiang Muyun was joking.

If you go out on a boat now, you will become a sitting duck in the future, which is an act of being tired of living.

"If you're really worried and want to prepare something in advance, I have a vacuum machine. You can take it back and pack up the food you eat at home so that you don't have to carry it with you when you need to evacuate in case of a flood." Jiang Muyun offered an alternative solution.

Qin Shiwu needed to find something to do now, so he gladly accepted this proposal.

The rain got heavier in the afternoon. When Jiang Muyun went to the balcony to collect the bucket, his arm was hit and hurt.

She had just put the bucket back when she heard a knock on her door.

The people knocking on the door were the middle-aged woman who came to ask for help in the morning and a middle-aged man who looked like her husband.

Both of their eyes were red and swollen, and the woman looked a little dazed.

Seeing Jiang Muyun open the door, the man handed out a Chinese knot from the gap in the iron door and said in a hoarse voice: "This is what my wife knitted herself. Thank you for your help this morning."

Jiang Muyun was slightly startled, and took the Chinese knot that didn't even have tassels, but simply had a few red strings hanging down. He rubbed his thumb twice on the yellow "Fu" character in the middle.

The man forced a smile: "Excuse me, I don't have anything worth showing off at home, otherwise I wouldn't..."

Nor would I leave my child home alone and let him run out to get wet in the rain.

Nor would he be allowed to suffer from a fever alone until it was beyond cure.

Having said this, the man choked up and couldn't continue.

He went out to look for odd jobs yesterday. The place was in the old city. When the wind blew, there were all kinds of messy things in the air, and it was impossible to look outside.

He was trapped outside and couldn't go back, and only dared to go home today when the wind died down.

When he got home, he found out that his child had died because he was not sent to the hospital in time.

Jiang Muyun shook his head: "We didn't help much."

Jiang Muyun simply braided the red rope hanging from the Chinese knot into a strand, connected it to the rope loop above, and put it around his wrist to make a simple bracelet.

Jiang Muyun opened the iron gate and faced the two of them. "I like it very much. Thank you."

After sending the person away, Jiang Muyun stood at the stairs, lowered his head and fiddled with the red rope on his wrist twice.

"Feeling bad?"

Jiang Muyun turned around and saw Chu Buwen also holding a Chinese knot in his hand.

"I haven't even seen what her son looks like, why should I be upset?" Jiang Muyun pulled his sleeves down to cover the bracelet. "If you have nothing better to do and want to argue, just say it directly. I don't recommend being so subtle when insulting people."

If a person does not save himself, even gods cannot save him.

An eighteen-year-old child? Jiang Muyun felt pity for all the parents in the world.

It was also at this age that she and Chu Buwen faced the end of the world for the first time.

When a group of people rushed out into the rain yesterday, there was someone to pull them out.

Some of them were shouting so loudly that Jiang Muyun could hear them even from his window. Could it be that he couldn't hear them from downstairs? Did he have to wait for his parents to come back and carry him home?

To put it bluntly, it’s hard to persuade a dying ghost with kind words.

She felt so uncomfortable about doing such a daring thing that she felt like a terminally ill woman with cancer.

Chu Buwen waved to Dabai who was squatting on the side, and Dabai, rarely giving him face, jumped into his arms.

Chu Buwen held Dabai up and approached Jiang Muyun: "It's my fault. Should I let Dabai sell himself to apologize for me?"

Jiang Muyun reached out and scratched Dabai. Dabai felt comfortable with Jiang Muyun's rubbing. He meowed a few times in a coquettish voice and tried to break away from Chu Buwen to throw himself into Jiang Muyun's arms.

Jiang Muyun didn't know how long it had been since he had enjoyed the little darling's spoiled behavior since Xiaobai grew up. He immediately pulled Dabai into his arms and said, "How about leaving your little one at my house for a few days?"

Chu Buwen was eager to do so.

He secretly gave Dabai a look of approval and pretended to be reluctant to leave, saying, "Dabai seems to really like you and Xiaobai. He has been restless at home these past two days. If it really doesn't work out, let him stay at your place for a few days. After all, it's only a few steps away for me to come over and see him."

Jiang Muyun was silent for a moment, then reluctantly touched Dabai a few times before returning it to Chu Buwen: "That's not appropriate. Although they are friends, they also need to give each other some space."

Otherwise, Jiang Muyun’s space might not be able to be hidden.

She still has a large box of ice at home, and she is planning to expand the ice coverage to the living room and the room where she keeps chickens.

If Chu Buwen suddenly came over, even if she put the ice into the space, the temperature in the house would be hard to explain.

Thinking about it this way, even if Chu Bu Wen doesn’t come, other people may come knocking on the door for something, so why not just forget about the living room?

Facts have proved that Jiang Muyun's caution was necessary.

On the third day of the heavy rain, the water in Jiang Muyun's community had almost submerged the second floor, and the natural gas was cut off.

Normally, Qin Shiwu would have gone to work today. But it was obvious that the hospital should have been moved long ago. It was just that they hadn't received any news of rescue yet.

Everyone panicked.

Not only the residents on the first and second floors, but even the residents on the fifth and sixth floors were worried when they saw the speed of the rising water.

If this trend continues, it will only take a few days for the water to reach their home!

The ecstasy about the rainfall has long passed, and now there is only deep fear in everyone's hearts.

On the fourth day of the heavy rain, more than half of the third floor was flooded, and Jiang Muyun found a mosquito in the room.

Jiang Muyun slapped the mosquito to death.

Along with the sound of her slap was Xiaobai's low moan.

Xiaobai called softly a few times towards the door. Jiang Muyun opened the peephole and looked out. There was an old man outside, and behind him was his family carrying large and small bags.

Seeing this, Jiang Muyun knew what they were going to do without even opening the door.

Nanshi's drainage system has reached its limit, and the water level is rising faster than anyone expected.

The water downstairs was getting higher and higher, so people naturally had to move upwards.

Jiang Muyun was on the 15th floor, and there was still ice in the room to keep it cool. Still, mosquitoes flew in. One could imagine what the situation was like outside.

Being able to live in someone else's home, even if it's just renting a room, is much better than sleeping outside.

When there was a knock on the door, Jiang Muyun had just put a leash on Xiaobai and tied him up in the corner.

Jiang Muyun and Xiaobai discussed: "To prevent our house from being knocked on by people every day in the future, when I open the door later, you will become aggressive. Will you be aggressive?"

Xiaobai tilted his head to look at Jiang Muyun, then bared his little white teeth.

Jiang Muyun encouraged it: "Very good, be a little more fierce."

Xiaobai roared a few more times in an angry tone.

Jiang Muyun nodded with satisfaction, put on gloves and a coat, zipped up the coat to the top to cover half of his face, then opened the security door and asked with half-open eyes, "Is there something wrong?"
