At midnight on January 30, 2044, it is Chinese New Year.
The people on the top floor of the shelter cheered, celebrating that they were still alive.
Amidst the dazzling fireworks, Liu Kai and Qin Luofei naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to show their affection.
They embraced and kissed, drawing cheers and applause.
Couples like Wang Ning and her husband, and Xu Qingfeng and his wife, are also letting loose and being themselves.
Even Zhong Linyu and Feng Yuxiao couldn't help but stand a little closer together.
But it was in this joyful atmosphere that...
After the kiss ended, Liu Kai suddenly felt a stirring in his heart.
He felt a strange sensation coming from the sky, as if someone was staring straight at him.
This feeling made him very unhappy.
But Liu Kai knew this wasn't caused by the satellite.
Because he had conducted an experiment: he had Qin Luofei use a satellite to photograph him.
I didn't feel like I was being monitored.
Could it be a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft?
They immediately launched a full-scale 12-kilometer scan, but found nothing unusual.
Unable to find anything, Liu Kai could only suppress his feelings, but he became more vigilant.
It was at this time that...
The torrential rain that had been falling incessantly suddenly stopped without warning.
When everyone noticed this anomaly, they all looked at each other in surprise.
But what followed was not a pleasant surprise, but a deep-seated panic.
The lively scene instantly fell silent.
Everyone remembered.
I recall the strangeness of the cold wave that hit more than seven months ago.
After the torrential rain comes deadly hail!
As if to verify their conjecture, a strange breeze suddenly swept through the sweltering, harsh night.
The breeze carried a hint of desolate chill.
It makes you feel as if you are at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, with the biting winter wind blowing from the melting snow on the mountaintop.
Everyone shivered at that moment, a chill creeping up their spines and down their necks.
Immediately afterwards, a second and a third gust of cold wind blew.
Dozens of temperature monitoring devices hanging on the roof of the shelter sounded alarms almost simultaneously, emitting sharp and piercing sirens.
In just two seconds, the temperature plummeted from 50 degrees Celsius to 46 degrees Celsius!
This time, the temperature drop came even faster and more intensely than before.
This series of sudden changes all happened in the blink of an eye.
The moment Qin Luofei and the others came to their senses, they felt that something terrible was about to happen.
Because at this time, the survivors on the roof were still wearing thin short sleeves and their bodies were still covered in raindrops.
"quick!"
"Activate the emergency response plan!"
"All soldiers must immediately organize the survivors to return indoors in an orderly manner and take precautions against the cold, following the procedures outlined in the emergency drill!!!"
Qin Luofei's uninhibited shouts echoed through the silent night sky.
This shout was also transmitted through walkie-talkies and the shelter's broadcast system to the ears of all the soldiers.
This message also reached the ears of the survivors.
The once quiet rooftop instantly became noisy and chaotic.
The survivors' terrified screams and the chaotic sound of their footsteps pounding on the roof mingled together.
Everyone pushed and shoved, rushing towards the entrance of the shelter like a flood.
"Everyone, don't panic, evacuate in an orderly manner!"
"Line up, everyone line up, one at a time!"
"Entrance capacity is limited, everyone please be patient, there's still time."
"Attention everyone, evacuate in an orderly manner and try to avoid stampedes!"
As the evacuation began, the soldiers maintaining order on the rooftop instantly became busy.
Even though they tried their best, and even though the number of survivors on the roof of the shelter was not actually that many.
Feeling the rapidly dropping temperature, a sense of dread about death welled up inside me.
This fear caused everyone to instinctively start running.
The survivors' earlier happy expressions had vanished completely.
They completely forgot about the friendly and harmonious atmosphere they had just shared while watching the fireworks.
A fleeting relationship can end in an instant, and a friendship can capsize just as easily.
In their panic, everyone had only one thought in mind: to survive for themselves and their families.
Whether the strangers can survive is not important!
With the temperature plummeting to 20 degrees Celsius, the scene became increasingly chaotic.
Qin Luofei and the others exchanged glances and nodded in perfect unison after a moment of grim silence.
The next moment, they each drew their pistols from their waists, raised them, pointed them at the sky, and decisively pulled the triggers.
"Bang bang bang..."
A series of ear-piercing gunpowder explosions pierced the night sky and reached everyone's ears.
The sudden commotion startled all the survivors, causing them to tremble and pause in their tracks.
At this moment, Qin Luofei's serious and cold voice rang out again over the shelter's loudspeaker.
"Everyone, line up and enter in one order, or you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Faced with the chaotic and desperate crowd, any attempt to maintain order through words would be futile.
The only solution is to fire warning shots and use force to deter others.
This trick worked very well.
When the soldiers maintaining order on the rooftop received their orders, they all switched off their gun safety.
The chaotic scene was finally brought under control.
Liu Kai made no comment and stayed by Qin Luofei's side to prevent any accidents from happening.
But his mind was racing with complaints.
His sixth sense seemed to be dead, showing no warning reaction whatsoever.
Of course, it's also possible that the current cold snap isn't dangerous for Liu Kai, which is why he didn't react.
Moreover, the sudden drop in temperature cannot be blamed on the high-ranking officials of the shelter.
After all, this is the case in shelters all over the country.
