Chapter 151 Snowstorm
Fourteen days later.
"A Chao! The car won't start!"
The off-road vehicle suddenly stalled. Lu Ming tried several times but couldn't start it, so he had to wake up Gu Chao who was resting next to him.
Gu Chao woke up when the car suddenly stopped. He quickly opened his eyes and unbuckled his seat belt. "I'll go down and take a look."
The surroundings were all white, everything was silent, and there was no living creature in sight.
In the past two weeks, they have looted two medium-sized cities and several small cities. They have enough supplies and are now on their way back to the base, which is probably still a few hundred kilometers away.
However, the continuous heavy snowfall made the snow on the road thicker and thicker. The deep snow layer was at least two meters thick, making driving very difficult for them. Not only did they have to slow down, but they also often had to stop to push out the wheels that were stuck in the snow.
The wind was very strong at this time, and even with the car windows closed, one could hear the constant "woohoo" sound outside. As soon as Gu Chao opened the door, a biting cold wind blew in, making his face hurt.
He got out, quickly closed the door, walked to the front of the car, and opened the hood.
He took off his goggles and did a quick inspection.
Then he closed the lid, walked to the driver's seat, knocked on the window, and said to Lu Ming, "Get out. This car has no battery. Let's get another one."
However, just as Lu Ming put away the vehicle and was about to take out another one, a piece of hail as big as a flowerpot suddenly hit them not far away!
They looked up and saw that the already foggy sky suddenly darkened, as if night had fallen.
At the same time, the wind became stronger and stronger, so strong that the big trees on the roadside were broken in half.
Lu Ming was caught off guard and was blown backwards!
Fortunately, Gu Chao grabbed her in time, and then used his supernatural powers to fight against the airflow and pulled her back to his side.
He shouted, "A blizzard is coming! We need to find someplace to hide!"
Then he looked around and saw a group of buildings in one direction, then pointed and shouted, "Go!"
Soon, large and small pieces of ice began to fall down densely, hitting the snow and ice with "puff!" and "bang!" sounds, which was terrifying.
Gu Chao created an air shield to protect the two of them, put his arm around Lu Ming's shoulders, and struggled against the strong wind blowing from the side, moving towards the house with difficulty.
Lu Ming grabbed Gu Chao's clothes with one hand and took out a bimetallic thermometer with the other. He saw the pointer spinning wildly and finally stopped at the -49 degree mark. He was shocked. The temperature dropped by more than 20 degrees in an instant!
At this moment, she felt that even though she was wearing gloves, a scarf and a hat covering her cheeks, those areas still turned red instantly and a piercing pain came.
She hurriedly put away the thermometer, then grabbed Gu Chao's clothes with both hands, exerted all her strength, lowered her center of gravity, and relieved some of the pressure on Gu Chao.
The two walked with difficulty, but not slowly.
However, the wind grew stronger and stronger, the hail grew larger and larger, and they had to dodge debris flying from afar from time to time. The journey that was supposed to take only an hour turned into two hours.
Gu Chao aimed at a three-story building. When he was almost there, the snow under his feet suddenly cracked. He felt a sudden sense of weightlessness and the two of them fell heavily down!
They were startled, and Gu Chao reacted very quickly. He quickly used airflow to support the two people's bodies and hung them in the air. Looking down, he saw a three-story house below!
The roof was actually buried under ice and snow. At this time, the strong wind and the thick ice and snow made the roof finally unable to withstand the heavy pressure and collapsed.
So the building in front is not a three-story building at all, but a six-story building!
Lu Ming also quickly took out a grappling nail gun from the space and fired a shot at the six-story building not far away.
"despair!"
The four-cornered hooks were firmly embedded in the wall. Lu Ming used the cable to steady his body, then gave Gu Chao a hand. He also fired a shot, and then the two of them pressed the switch together, the cable tightened, and pulled them up.
The window glass on the third floor had already shattered. There were two elderly zombies inside. They smelled the food and roared as they reached out to grab the zombies hanging outside the window. However, when they reached the window, they used too much force and fell down one after another, hitting the ground, their bodies maintaining a strange posture and still roaring.
Gu Chao flew out two air blades to deal with them, and his ears finally became a little quieter.
He grabbed the windowsill, pushed himself up and climbed in, then turned around and pulled Luming.
Only after both of them entered the room did he feel a little relieved.
They turned their heads to look outside. It was already completely dark outside the house, with a large amount of hail falling down, making it impossible to see the specific situation.
All the glass around the building was shattered, and a biting cold wind kept blowing in, making a "howling" sound.
Fearing that the floor was too high and the roof would be destroyed by strong winds and hail, they did not stay on the sixth floor but went to the floor below.
It can be seen that this is an ordinary residential building, and each household is not big, with only two rooms. They randomly chose a clean place without zombies or corpses, cleaned it up a little, and took out a tent and placed it in the living room.
Only after they got into the tent did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Such bad weather is really more despairing than seeing the city full of zombies, because they can't resist such a powerful force at all and can only leave it to fate.
It can be said that if they were not with each other, they might suddenly lose their fighting spirit in the next second, give up running or resisting, let themselves drift with the wind, and leave this world full of darkness without a trace of light.
The two of them sat on the moisture-proof mat, took off their down jackets, and then found that they were completely exhausted. Gu Chao even lay on the ground gasping for breath because he had overdrawn his supernatural powers.
Lu Ming put a pillow under him so that he could lie more comfortably. He pulled him down and lay down, resting his head on his shoulder and hugged by his arms.
After drinking the spring water given by Lu Ming and relaxing for a long time, he finally regained some strength. He turned around and kissed Lu Ming on the forehead, and the two smiled at each other.
After getting up and eating two instant meals, they sat side by side and started chatting.
"With such a severe snowstorm, I wonder what's happening at the base?" Lu Ming asked worriedly.
She just took out Li Hangyuan's latest modified satellite communicator and took a look. There was no signal and she couldn't contact them.
"Don't worry, if they're all indoors, it shouldn't be too dangerous."
"When do you think this snowstorm will stop?"
"I don't know either, but we probably can't drive any further. The snow is too deep and we don't know what's underneath. It's too dangerous to drive."
"Well, we can only walk back then."
As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a chill coming over him.
"Did you feel suddenly very cold?"
Gu Chao asked with a frown, then unzipped the tent.
