Chapter 225 Weird Belief
The first branch of the resort hotel closed on time.
Xiaowan left a set of dim lights on and sat leisurely in the lobby on the first floor as usual. But tonight was different. There was wind in the air, and fresh snowflakes were floating and swirling in the air very softly. In the distance, people guarding the central square were huddled together with their heads down like penguins.
Why don’t you go to the corridor to hide from the wind?
Xiaowan played with the water and felt a little confused.
Soon she saw a halo rising in the central square, gradually expanding from a circle to an ellipse, and the people surrounding it began to move.
At this moment, a foot covered with ice slowly stepped out, followed by stiff trouser legs, a creaking coat, and finally a face covered with ice and snow.
Two people ran out of the crowd, one squatted down, and the other helped carry the person who was almost frozen to death on his back, and ran to the only makeshift hospital without saying a word.
Then the second person fell out of the halo, and then the third, and the fourth...
Two strong men took the initiative to stand on both sides of the halo and took on the task of transferring the teleported people to the backs of their teammates.
At this moment, the situation suddenly occurred. In addition to the survivors, a much more severe snowstorm than here came through the halo. The strong wind passed through the narrow passage, and the wind speed increased instead of decreasing, blowing directly so hard that the people outside could not stand.
The cold snowflakes scratched my face painfully, my eyelids were so frozen that I could hardly open them, and the hat on my head felt like it was made of paper. A gust of cold wind blew, and my forehead was so frozen that I wanted to cry.
Even the two strong men were blown so hard that they slipped. They bent over and used one arm to protect their fragile eyes, trying to find the location of the survivors.
How could the weak survivors be a match? The first few people could still walk out of the door, but the ones behind were almost all "pushed" in. Their feet were faster than their bodies, and they tilted backwards and fell to the ground when they lost their balance, which caused a lot of headaches for the rescuers outside.
“Hurry!”
Xiaowan was watching with great interest when she heard a group of well-trained troops running past the door. General Chu, who was standing at the head of the team, glanced at her sideways. At the end of the stairs behind him, a strange color flashed in his eyes. When he looked back ahead, he had returned to his cold and ready look.
Xiaowan didn't know what he meant, but it didn't stop her from continuing to watch.
When the team arrived at the central square, several wind-type ability users walked out of the team and worked together to use their abilities to control the wind speed. The agile ones took the opportunity to weave in the wind and send the survivors out of the wind vents one by one.
The two strong men finally had a chance to catch their breath. They walked to the side and squatted down, covering their heads. They felt the pain as if they were being pierced by thousands of iron nails and it was unbearable.
After being bombarded by the strong winds in the halo, the wind here is just like a little sister.
Except for the ten teams that remained on standby, the remaining teams replaced all the players on the field who were exhausted.
Ten minutes later, those who walked out of the halo again were no longer ordinary survivors, but their most familiar comrades and family members.
Everyone was in high spirits. Even the first group of people who were breathing heavily came over, their anxious eyes scanning the red faces.
no.
This isn't it either.
The edges of the halo begin to fade.
"Quick, take over!" Chu Wanfu gave an order, and the troops on standby went in one after another and took over the task of searching for survivors.
As the last person disappeared in the halo, the teleportation user who was holding on fainted, her limbs cold and stiff. She had tried her best to be able to finally get in and hold on until another wave of people came in.
Chu Wanfu said: "Send her to the hospital quickly."
"yes."
The most tense phase has passed, and now we face another challenge...
Chu Wanfu turned and looked at another place with dim lights and shadowy figures - the hospital.
He knew very well how rudimentary the hospital was. All medicines and medical staff were in short supply. Moreover, with so many people suffering from frostbite, even heating and beds were a problem.
He arranged all the special ability teams to work in the hospital, either to make fires for warmth or to temporarily act as nurses. After all, they were not professional doctors, and no matter how much they wanted to save people, they still didn't know what to do when they encountered something they didn't understand.
The pressure is heavy.
Chu Wanfu lowered his eyelids slightly and glanced at the darkened restaurant again, his mind racing as he thought of a solution, and slowly caught up with the large group in front.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and looked back abruptly—
At the location where the halo appeared in the central square, a figure he was very familiar with was standing there with his head tilted in thought.
At the same time, Xiaowan, who had just stood up, froze, looked back at the dark corridor and the locked door, rubbed her eyes, and looked towards the center of the square again.
Why is the boss there?
She excitedly leaned against the glass to greet the boss, but the next second she realized something was wrong...
The moment he saw Boss Xia's figure, Chu Wanfu truly understood what it meant to be anxious. He had to admit that if Boss Xia was willing to lend a helping hand, all his current worries could be solved.
Chu Wanfu tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, "Boss Xia." You finally showed up.
When someone called her name, she raised her head and smiled broadly, waving one hand slightly in front of her as per her character setting, and responded enthusiastically: "Hi~"
Xiaowan widened her eyes. She was not the boss!
It seemed as if “she” also reacted. She withdrew her hand, straightened her lips, and nodded coldly, “General Chu.”
Chu Wanfu paused, his enthusiasm was poured down like a bucket of cold water, and his mind became clearer than ever before.
Seeing that he only looked and didn't say anything, "Boss Xia" felt a little uneasy. He secretly thought that he was careless, and then he tried to imitate the main person's tone, "General Chu, are you interested in a private villa? The price is favorable, there are not many, and you can bring your relatives and friends to move in with your luggage."
After saying that, "she" raised her ears, waiting for his agreement before kicking him directly into the virtual space to let the real person explain.
"Villa..." Chu Wanfu looked at "her" from head to toe calmly, trying to find a flaw.
"Boss Xia" looked at him with a smile, but did not urge him.
They look so similar.
Chu Wanfu said, "Boss Xia, since you're here, it's okay if the lights in the restaurant are on, right?"
She replied, "It's not good to waste resources. But you have a point. What's the harm in opening it for a while?"
She snapped her fingers, and all the lights on the first and second floors of the first branch of the resort hotel lit up. She looked at him with a smile, as if to say, now you finally believe it, right?
Chu Wanfu believed it with a strange heart, because he saw the store manager Xiaowan sitting by the window, looking at them calmly with her chin propped up.
There really is no reason, he thought.
"Okay, I'll take you in. Just be patient and wait until all the customers arrive—I'll show you around."
Boss Xia had approached at some point and gently pushed him on the back.
The last few words were still lingering in my ears, but the environment I was in suddenly changed.
Chu Wanfu looked around quickly with sharp eyes. The people sitting in the middle were surrounded by white mist, as if to protect their personal privacy. This was indeed Boss Xia's habit.
Although I am concerned about the hospital, I am also wondering whether this is a new good opportunity that has nothing to do with me personally.
He took two steps forward and stood still again.
