Chapter 39 Snowstorm [VIP]

After checking the time, Tang Tian, ​​Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia prepared to set off.

Both of them wore cold-proof clothing, covered their heads with masks, and carried mountaineering backpacks.

Fortunately, Tan Tan hasn't grown very big yet, so he can be put into the bag first. Tang Tian also throws a few snacks in from time to time.

After coming out of the building, I looked around and saw no one in sight.

Once outside Hexinyuan, there was no security guard at the gate. Tang Tian found a corner with a blind spot, pulled out a snowmobile, and the two of them and their dog huddled together, heading towards the office building.

Since dozens of meters of snow have covered most low-rise buildings, the buildings are no longer as dense as before the end of the world. Only high-rise residential areas and occasional skyscrapers and office buildings can be seen from afar.

The entire field of vision was almost completely white, so bright that it was blinding. If it weren't for the goggles, I would have developed snow blindness very quickly.

Sometimes you can see teams moving slowly forward in the snow against the wind and snow. Some use skis, others use sleds, and only occasionally can you see people riding snowmobiles.

When people saw the two of them riding on the snowmobile together, they naturally looked at them with envy and jealousy, wishing they could snatch it away for themselves.

But before this thought could even pass through their minds, Tang Tian had already accelerated, splashing a cloud of snow and driving away.

In just ten minutes, they saw the designated office building and more and more people gathered around them.

They quietly put away the snowmobile and blended closely into the crowd.

The closer we got, the noisier it became. There were more and more soldiers with guns slung over their bodies, also wearing special winter clothing, and using loudspeakers to maintain order.

"Line up in a single file! Don't crowd! Everyone can get supplies! Please maintain order!"

The people who have not received any relief supplies for a long time are so excited that it is difficult to calm them down with just a few words.

Moreover, the survivors pouring in from all directions were more than ten times more than those in Hexinyuan.

Some continued to shout, some cried out, some impulsively continued to push forward, and some even came to the soldiers and asked them why the rescue came so late.

Not only was the scene a mess, it was also like a can of fermented black bean dace, incredibly crowded.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Two loud gunshots echoed through the sky, and the people at the front of the line really didn't dare to make any more noise.

The silence spread to the rear in waves, until everyone calmed down. Then the soldier who seemed to be in the lead raised his trumpet and shouted:

"Please line up and enter the office building in order to receive relief supplies! Please bring your ID to prove your identity. Each person will only receive one supply! If any violations or crimes are discovered during patrols, they will be dealt with without mercy!"

After the regulations were explained in a few words, the soldiers stopped reminding people and instead used a loudspeaker set up by a window in the office building to spread the message more widely.

But of course some people are reluctant to accept this regulation. After all, this time, only one person can receive one portion of supplies, and no one can receive more than one portion or receive on behalf of others.

However, many families, with the head of the household bringing the hopes of the entire family, would be willing to accept only a single portion. Soon, they would become restless and unwilling to leave.

There are rooms in the office building for storing supplies, and most of them are rooms responsible for distributing supplies.

Seeing this, the staff in charge of distribution could no longer bear it and directly called the soldiers patrolling the corridor of the room to escort them out.

No matter how they struggled, they were escorted out of the building by force and thrown into a military vehicle parked nearby.

When other people who were escorted out later saw this, they quickly begged for mercy and expressed regret, but the authorities seemed to be serious this time and all the troublemakers were arrested.

When the people outside the building saw this scene, they no longer dared to violate the rules and had to line up quietly in their seats with clear eyes.

…

Behind Tang Tian and the others was a middle-aged woman, who quickly struck up a conversation with the woman behind her:

"Have you heard? The authorities have changed the regulations this time. It's a one-size-fits-all approach! Those with minor offenses will be sent to labor camps, and those with serious offenses will be arrested and shot!"

"Oh my God, didn't this happen decades ago? Are the officials crazy?"

"I think the weather is crazy..."

There was still wind and snow outside, and everyone in the team was shivering. From time to time, a few frozen people would fall down and be dragged away by the soldiers.

Although Tang Tian and the others had special abilities and didn't feel too cold, they still stuffed their hands into their sleeves and pretended to be very cold.

"It's such a long line! When can I get the supplies? Can I get them all today? I'm freezing to death!"

"When will this cold weather end? I feel like I can't hold on any longer..."

"I've already given up on living. My whole family is dead. What's the point of getting supplies once the weather returns?"

Tears and snot caused by cold weather can freeze instantly, and the exhaled breath can instantly turn into small pieces of ice mist. The cold air inhaled makes it difficult to breathe and the voice becomes hoarse.

Of course, its kidnapping, especially wanting to cut in line.

Tang Tian couldn't bear it anymore and begged her for help, but was rejected outright.

Under supervision, the team finally did not cause any disturbance and moved forward slowly.

When I walked in, I found that there was someone responsible for scanning at the door, and the system asked Tan Tan to curl up in the backpack first.

After successfully entering the office building, Tang Tian was stunned.

I didn't expect there was electricity here and the heating was turned on.

Although the heating could not restore the extremely cold environment to spring-like condition, it did raise the temperature by about ten degrees and also blocked the wind and snow. Most people felt instantly alive and their faces brightened a little.

Next, go through the procedures in order and receive the supplies.

Each person's supply included ten kilograms of food, five kilograms of fuel, disaster relief quilts, cotton-padded jackets, medicines, etc. Everyone was very happy, and their anger and resentment were greatly diluted.

Tang Tian looked at the supplies in her hands, but her emotions didn't fluctuate much.

Does distributing more supplies at one time mean that they will not be distributed for a long time afterwards?

After all, when the temperature rises, the accumulated snow will cause floods, and transportation will still be very inconvenient.

Those who received the supplies hurried home, their eyes filled with joy and hope.

The military only arrested those who had gathered to cause trouble, turning a blind eye to these incidents. The mother and daughters stuffed as much supplies as possible into their backpacks, then went to a corner to retrieve their snowmobiles and prepared to return home.

Tang Tian stepped on the accelerator and drove away. Wei Mingxia looked at the snow in the distance and could not help but sigh:

"Luckily I followed them out and saw the current situation. It's more serious than I thought!"

Tang Yi was about to answer when someone next to her suddenly grabbed the car door. This action was too dangerous.

"Wait! Wait! Can you give me a ride? I'll trade for supplies!"

Tang Tian frowned, ignored him, accelerated to break free, and flew forward.

The man was thrown to the ground and started cursing before he could even get up.

However, they didn't expect that some groups who were too lazy to queue up would focus on those who were alone or unable to move, and at the command of the group, they would rush forward and snatch all the supplies.

This place was no longer within the soldiers' capture range. Those whose supplies had been stolen cried out in despair, but the only response was the howling wind and snow...

…

Tang Haifeng regretted not letting Tang Zirui go with him. He didn't expect that the supplies would be distributed per person and the regulations were extremely strict. He objected a few times and was almost arrested.

He was heartbroken that one of the original four supplies was missing.

The two returned to the house dejectedly. Tang Zirui suddenly jumped up and complained:

"Mom and Dad, why did you come back just now? I'm cold and hungry here!"

"My dear son, the place where we get the supplies is too far, so it will take some time. Let's make a fire and eat now!"

Tang Haifeng said this as he and Lai Meiyan started to eat. The food they had was mostly rice bricks, instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and various canned foods, but it was much better than before.

Tang Nan whispered beside him:

"Mom and Dad, we don't know when we'll get the next supply. Should we make a plan first..."

"It's been so dull for so long, what's wrong with having a good meal first?"

Tang Zirui interrupted Tang Nan without any hesitation, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reported:

"Mom and Dad, you don't understand, I..."

Then he told them the whole story of how he went to 1701 and lay down through the crack of the door, without caring whether his behavior was embarrassing or not.

When Tang Nan saw that his parents not only did not say anything, but only listened to the former, the light in his eyes dimmed again.

Tang Haifeng was shocked after hearing this.

Wei Mingxia was actually eating hotpot at home with Tang Tian and Tang Yi?!

No wonder he killed them both times they met. It turned out that he was guarding against them and protecting his own food!

Lai Meiyan was not afraid of the situation and started to add fuel to the fire:

"Hubby, Sister Wei is definitely doing this on purpose. After all, you two were once happy together and had two children. Now you're only concerned about your own children. Isn't that too selfish!"

Tang Haifeng was so angry that his expression was distorted. He immediately stood up and was about to go downstairs, but he was afraid to fight alone, so he took Lai Meiyan and Tang Nan with him.

Tang Zirui curled the corners of his lips, opened the can, heated it up, and started to eat it with relish.

When Tang Haifeng and his companions went to the 17th floor, they found someone squatting at the door of 1701, fiddling with the door with tools, obviously trying to unlock it.

There were twenty or four people surrounding him, holding weapons in their hands, waiting impatiently behind the door.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Forget it, don't open it, it's a waste of time! Might as well just break the door. Doors are already frozen and easy to break!"

They were chattering and discussing, and they noticed Tang Haifeng and his group, but they did not panic. Instead, they glanced at them with contempt and did not even bother to ask questions.

Tang Haifeng's face turned red with frustration, but these people were obviously organized and armed. If he provoked them, wouldn't he be courting death?

However, at this moment, a familiar voice came from the stairs:

"Oh, I came at a bad time!"

Two more people with their faces covered walked slowly into the corridor. They were Tang Tian and her mother and daughter.

Tang Haifeng recognized Tang Tian's voice and was delighted. He quickly tried to get rid of the suspicion:

"Tiantian, those people are trying to open your door, and Dad just came up!"

Tang Tian didn't answer, but just nodded to Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia, and gave another order. Suddenly, a dog jumped out of the backpack behind him and rushed towards those people, barking wildly.

Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia each took out a long knife and rushed forward to chop without any hesitation, which surprised Tang Haifeng and the others.

not good!

The latter reacted and wanted to find an excuse to leave, but found that Tang Tian also pulled out a knife and slashed straight at him!

Tang Haifeng subconsciously pulled the person next to him to block the knife, and that person happened to be his daughter Tang Nan.

Tang Nan saw the shiny tip of the knife slashing towards her and heard screams behind her. She was scared, but she still closed her eyes and gave up struggling completely.

But she did not wait for the pain - after Tang Tian found out, she put away the knife and turned it into a stabbing attack, stabbing Tang Haifeng in the shoulder.

"Tang Haifeng, you used your daughter to block the knife. You are still so despicable and shameless!"

Tang Tian stabbed hard, but was pushed away by Lai Meiyan, who pulled the pale-faced Tang Haifeng and ran away.

But she did not pull Tang Nan away again, which made the latter sit on the cold ground with weak legs, looking dazed.

Tang Tian did not chase after him, but turned her head to look at Tang Nan with her eyes slightly narrowed.
