Chapter 258 Darkness Devours Everything
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the light in the office was so dim that the words on the book could not be seen clearly. After discussing it, a few people decided to go off work.
The street lights were on, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan drove slowly home.
After walking carefully all the way, I finally arrived at the underground garage, but the garage was dark, like a monster that could devour everything.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan held hands tightly together, then turned on the flashlight on their mobile phones to illuminate the way forward.
There was still no electricity, so the two could only walk up the stairs slowly.
In the past, when there was electricity, there were few people in the stairwells, and some timid people didn't dare to walk there.
What's more, it is pitch dark, there is no one around, and everything seems unknown.
The sound of footsteps on the stairs echoed, and a faint light illuminated the small space underfoot.
This is just like a scene from a horror movie!
Bi Qiaoan covered her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, not daring to say anything more, but just held Shen Yanming's hand tightly and followed his steps to the 16th floor.
After finally entering the house, Bi Qiaoan let go of Shen Yanming's hand and wiped it on her clothes uncomfortably. Seeing Shen Yanming's teasing eyes, she blushed unconsciously.
"I, I'm just a little nervous and my hands are sweating." Bi Qiaoan said.
"I know, it's cute!" Shen Yanming smiled and hugged Bi Qiaoan, giving her encouragement and courage.
To be honest, there are probably few girls who are not afraid of the dark and this depressing and weird atmosphere.
Shen Yanming turned on all the table lamps in the house, then took out everything in the refrigerator and put it into the space.
"I forgot about it yesterday. I don't know when the phone will ring. I'm afraid that by the time the phone rings, these things will be broken!" said Shen Yanming.
When Shen Yanming was collecting them, Bi Qiaoan also came over to take a look and said, "It's okay. These are still frozen. It seems that the heat preservation effect of our refrigerator is quite good."
"Well, these bottles of water played a key role. You see, they haven't melted yet." Shen Yanming took out the ice lumps and showed them to Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan put the bottles of water into the space, then went to the bathroom to get a clean rag and wiped the refrigerator inside and out.
Then he asked Shen Yanming: "What about Zhang Heping's things at home? If there is no electricity tomorrow, they will be broken, right?"
"I'll give him a call and ask. There are only two options. Either make it into a durable finished product, or put it in an environment similar to the outdoors. Anyway, it's below zero outside, so it's not much different from a refrigerator."
"We in the upper echelons of the city wouldn't hang things out of the windows, right? Falling objects from high altitudes can be very dangerous."
"What are you thinking? At most, you can make a room for him, open all the windows, and create a 'cold storage' artificially!"
"Okay, okay, just ask him what to do!" Bi Qiaoan urged.
"No hurry, let's eat first?"
Bi Qiaoan shook his head, "It's not even six o'clock yet, I have no appetite!"
"Okay then!" Chen Yanming put out a small stove and asked Bi Qiaoan to sit around the stove to warm herself up, then he went to call Zhang Heping.
"Hello, Lao Shen, I'm a little busy right now. If you have anything to say, please tell me. If it's not important, just make your own decision. I'll call you back when I'm free."
Before Shen Yanming could speak, Zhang Heping started talking a lot, and then when he heard someone calling Doctor Zhang, he hung up the phone.
"How is it?" Bi Qiaoan was speechless when he saw Shen Yanming coming back quickly.
"I was hung up on before I even opened my mouth."
Shen Yanming sat next to Bi Qiaoan and hugged her in his arms, "I haven't been hung up on by anyone in a long time!"
"Why, do you feel ignored?"
"No, Zhang Heping is very anxious. I'm afraid something big will happen again!"
Shen Yanming felt the woman in his arms tense up for a moment, and hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay, it's not that serious, otherwise Zhang Heping would definitely call to warn. Since he didn't say anything, it might just be that the hospital is busy."
"Um."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, but she didn't feel comforted. She just didn't want to make her husband worry, so she pretended not to care.
But who is Shen Yanming? He saw through Bi Qiaoan's little thoughts clearly, but he didn't expose her. He just kept it in mind and thought about calling Zhang Heping to ask later.
"Then let's go to Zhang Heping's house first?" Shen Yanming asked Bi Qiaoan.
"good!"
The two of them took a look at the small stove, which was far away from the bed, cabinets and other things. Then they stewed some white fungus, red dates and lily soup on the stove and went out to the other side.
Zhang Heping's house was dark and lifeless.
Shen Yanming opened his refrigerator. The cold storage area at the top was empty, but the frozen area at the bottom was filled with everything. However, the frozen meat had started to soften, and the refrigerator drawer was greasy and full of melted meat and blood.
"This won't do. It can't be frozen. We have to do it." Bi Qiaoan said with a frown.
Shen Yanming didn't have any objections, but he just wondered how long it would take to finish filling the three full drawers of meat, and he didn't want his wife to suffer.
But if he just ignores it, he can't do it. He hates waste the most now!
Shen Yanming thought for a moment and said to Bi Qiaoan, “I’ll ask if Ji Kangyong is here.”
"Huh?" Bi Qiaoan looked at Shen Yanming in confusion, but he said nothing and called Ji Kangyong directly.
"Hello?" Ji Kangyong's voice was hoarse and muffled.
"Are you sick?" Shen Yanming's first reaction was that something was wrong with him, and he asked anxiously.
Ji Kangyong scratched his hair, leaned back on the bed, and calmed himself down before saying, "No, I was on duty all night last night and have been catching up on sleep during the day. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Did this wake you up?" Shen Yanming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, but it's time to wake up. It's already night!"
Shen Yanming burst out laughing, "It's only about six o'clock now."
"Are you kidding? How is this possible?" Ji Kangyong took the phone in front of him and saw that it was indeed past six o'clock.
"Today's sunrise is abnormal, didn't you notice?"
"It was so cold outside that all my cell phones were turned off. I waited until dawn to finish my work and go home without asking anyone what time it was. What's the matter with you calling?" Ji Kangyong asked.
"What do you do with the things in your refrigerator?"
"What do you mean? No call yet?"
"What else?"
Ji Kangyong jumped up from the bed, rushed to the living room and opened the refrigerator. Although the meat inside was not completely melted, it was a little soft.
"Old Shen, what do you think we should do? This meat..."
"Either hang it under the window, or make it into jerky and keep it there."
Ji Kangyong glanced at the heavy snow outside. It seemed that this suggestion was not bad. However, how should their senior executives hang it outside the window?
