The lobby on the first floor was noisy. Xiong Lang stood with his back to the door, not saying a word.
Even when the first people who arrived asked him what was the matter that required waking people up in the middle of the night, Xiong Lang just waved his hand and told them to wait until everyone gathered.
The club's insulation measures were very good. Even though the temperature outside was as low as minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, because it had only been a short time, the people in the house only felt that the temperature had dropped. It was much colder than the previous few days, but they didn't care much about it. They just thought it was because of the continuous rain.
Most of the people under Xiong Lang had practiced martial arts with him. They were quite skilled and had great faith in him. They were good at enforcing orders and it only took a dozen minutes for them all to gather together.
However, this is not an army after all. Dozens of people gathered together, talking to each other, chattering and making a lot of noise.
After taking a quick look, Xiong Lang felt that most of the people had arrived, so he cleared his throat and said loudly, "Shut up!
I know some of you must be unhappy about waking you up in the middle of the night.
But there must be a reason why I'm so anxious to wake you up."
As he spoke, Xiong Lang suddenly turned around and pulled open the tightly closed door.
As the two doors burst open, a cold wind carrying snowflakes suddenly rushed into the house.
"Ah, why is it so cold?"
"Is it snowing?"
"What's going on?"
"Boss, close the door quickly, it's too cold!"
"Oh my god, why is it snowing in the middle of summer?"
......
The warm indoor environment meets the freezing outdoor environment. The two currents of cold and hot air begin to clash fiercely with the door as the medium. The feeling given to the people inside is that they have suddenly gone from a warm spring environment to the icy poles.
They were only wearing thin summer clothes and were completely stunned.
Seeing that everyone had sensed the changes outside, Xiong Lang closed the door and said seriously, "You can see, the rainstorm is over, but the natural disaster is not over. It has been replaced by severe cold and heavy snow.
I woke you up because I was afraid that the sudden drop in temperature would cause you to die of hypothermia in your sleep.
Okay, go back and change into thick clothes, then check the entire building and make sure all the doors and windows are closed tightly.
Zhang Quan, take a few people to the garage and start all the cars so they don't freeze anymore.
Also, the tires that were removed earlier can be installed. When it gets light, we will go out to search for supplies like other survivors.
Not only food, but we haven't prepared much wood, oil, and coal to keep warm. These all need to be prepared.
I just checked, the temperature outside is already dozens of degrees below zero. It's still short and the impact cannot be seen for the time being.
But once it's frozen through, the indoor temperature is bound to drop, and keeping warm is the primary problem we have to face.
Xiong Lan, you will help count who is short of warm clothes and blankets, and then help them to allocate them. If there is really no clothing or blankets, you female comrades will have to work hard to make a batch at short notice."
After making a series of arrangements, Xiong Lang returned to his room, took out his sweater and trousers and put them on, then wrapped himself in a thick windbreaker, went downstairs to call a few apprentices, and went out to the wheelwright workshop.
It has been snowing heavily for over an hour. The thick snow and the still-thickening ice are enough to support the weight of several people. Apart from being a little difficult to walk on, it does not affect travel.
After the end of the world began, in addition to occupying the former clubhouse, Xiong Lang did not give up his wheelwright workshop.
It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. The Wheelwright's Workshop is the escape route that Xiong Lang left for himself. It is also his backup base and important warehouse.
The wheelwright's workshop was located on relatively high ground and was not flooded, but there was more than half a meter of accumulated water inside and outside the yard.
When he arrived at the gate, Xiong Lang's eyes became serious.
The accumulated water froze and the big iron gate was frozen and could not be opened at all.
There was no choice but Xiong Lang could only lead his men over the iron gate, find tools, and start cleaning up the ice before it completely freezes solid.
Several people worked bent over and with their butts sticking out for several hours, and finally broke the ice near the big iron gate and shoveled it elsewhere. After making sure the big iron gate could be opened and closed normally, they stopped and wiped the sweat from their heads.
"Phew, I finally arrived in time."
Leaning on the shovel in his hand, Xiong Lang said thankfully: "If we wait until daybreak, we may not be able to open the door even if we spend twice as much effort.
Now, our second base is finally saved."
"Master, have you found a problem?"
At this time, a disciple named Gao Xu suddenly said, "I just took a look, it's almost six o'clock, why is there no sign of light in the sky?"
A tall man named Jiang Bin said, "What do you know? It's snowing heavily and it's cloudy, so the daybreak will naturally be late."
"wrong!"
Without waiting for the two to continue arguing, Xiong Lang raised his wrist to check his watch, then looked up at the sky and said solemnly, “Even if it’s cloudy, at six o’clock in this season, there should be some light.
Besides, it has been raining for the past few days, isn’t it cloudy?
But it is still pitch dark now, almost pitch dark, and there is something wrong.
Well, let's work harder to clear the ice in the yard, and then hurry back."
At that moment, several people stopped talking and picked up their tools and started working hard.
Fortunately, the workshop uses rolling shutter doors and there is a slope at the entrance, so the impact of the ice layer is not serious. We just need to clear the ice on the door head and that's it.
When all the work was done, there was still no sign of lightness in the sky. At this time, both Xiong Lang and his apprentices realized that something must have gone wrong.
At this time, in a high-rise building nearly ten kilometers away from Jinping Mountain, a dozen white or black foreigners were shivering together, discussing something in mutters.
The white-skinned leader rubbed his shoulders to keep himself warmer and said in a trembling voice, "Everyone, you should have noticed that it is snowing outside and the temperature has dropped to more than 40 degrees below zero.
This temperature is enough to freeze the water on the ground, and with the falling snow, I feel that our opportunity to act has come.
The last time, Captain Rhodes suddenly lost contact, and it was later confirmed that he and Dennis had died at the hands of a Dragon man named Sun Guangjun.
We have to avenge this.
However, we came to Longguo this time with a mission.
Revenge for Captain Rhodes and Dennis must be based on completing the mission.
Therefore, for this operation, please be sure to keep the mission requirements in mind.
Okay, everyone check your equipment, we'll be leaving in ten minutes."
