Chapter 41
"Attention tourists stranded in Xuexiang! Attention tourists stranded in Xuexiang! Supplies will be distributed to you in ten minutes. Please wait outside the window in advance."
"Mom! Wake up, the supplies delivery team is here!" Zhao Yan gently patted her mother's face.
Zhao's mother let out a weak groan, but still endured the discomfort and sat up, clutching her clothes.
"Yanyan, quickly open the curtains." This family is relying on these supplies to survive, and they can't let people think the room is empty just because the curtains aren't drawn.
Soon, the sound of the loudspeaker in the sky grew closer and closer.
Zhao Yan and her parents stood by the window and could clearly see a huge vehicle parked in the wind and snow.
"Mom, the subway has gone up into the sky."
A gray train was seen suspended high in the air, with sleek lines like a subway train, and each carriage had wide, bright windows.
A red flying car sped from the side of the train and stopped in front of the Zhao family's window.
"How is your family's situation? How many people are trapped? Are there any sick elderly people or children among those trapped?"
“Our family of seven is trapped in this room. There are four elderly people, and they all have high fevers. There are more than sixty people trapped in the entire hotel, and there are about twenty children and elderly people.” Mr. Zhao answered the visitor’s question quickly and clearly.
The visitor nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Uncle, could you please help me inform the hotel staff to go to the rooftop in ten minutes? We will be there distributing supplies and transferring sick elderly people and children."
After being trapped for so long, Zhao's father was finally rescued. He nodded hurriedly, thanked everyone, and then ran out to inform them.
Five minutes later.
The hotel staff gathered on the rooftop. Those people must have come earlier to clear the snow; the snow that was previously as high as a person is now only a shallow layer.
The once empty rooftop is now filled with boxes, and flying cars are constantly going up to the rooftop to move things.
"Hello to all the stranded travelers and merchants in Xuexiang. I am a staff member of the Asu City Government. Previously, due to the heavy snow, everyone was unable to go out, and the rescue work could not be carried out in time. I am very sorry for the suffering you have endured."
The snow hasn't stopped outside yet, so today our main task is to transfer sick people to the city hospital. Because of limited space on the vehicles, we're only transferring the elderly, children, and those with severe symptoms. Don't worry, the government won't abandon you. Municipal workers will quickly restore electricity, internet, and heating. At the same time, we will distribute supplies. Those who cannot be transferred immediately, please wait here for news. The government will come to pick you up as soon as the evacuation conditions are met. Understand?
The person in charge had a loud voice, and everyone present could hear him clearly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd reacted in different ways.
Some people feel that as long as they can get their sick relatives and friends to the hospital for treatment, and they have supplies, electricity, and heating, they can wait to be transferred. There are many places affected by the snow disaster, and being transferred to the city may not be as comfortable as staying in a hotel.
However, most people were frightened by their experiences over the past few days and cried and made a scene, demanding that someone take them home.
It took a lot of persuasion from the person in charge to calm the crowd down.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao helped the four elderly people into the flying car. Mrs. Zhao was very worried. "Can the four of you go to the hospital alone? I think that aerial subway is quite big. Why don't we tell the person in charge to let our Yan Yan come along to take care of the elderly?"
"Mom, I'm not going. It's all chaotic right now. Everyone's cramming in people, and then the people who really need treatment won't have a place to go to the hospital."
Zhao's mother was so angry that she slapped Zhao Yan across the back. This girl has gone crazy from studying. What kind of kind heart is she talking about now? She did this because she felt sorry for her!
However, the college student was stubborn and no one could persuade him to change his mind. On the other hand, Zhao's mother, who also had a fever, was taken away along with the four elderly people.
Only the Zhao father and daughter remained in the hotel.
When it was Zhao Yan's turn to receive the supplies, she asked the person in charge who had just spoken to everyone, "Brother, is that aerial train up there a new product from Hongqi Piao?"
"Yes, thanks to the air train, we were able to transfer people and distribute more supplies to everyone."
It wasn't that the government wasn't trying before, but rather that they were powerless to help. This time, the affected area was too large, and the snow piled up high in just two days, so much so that people hadn't even had time to react.
By the time they realized what was happening, the traffic was completely blocked, and only helicopters and flying cars could still move.
However, relying solely on these two methods is hardly enough to accelerate disaster relief efforts.
"Here are your things, take them!"
The person in charge of distributing the supplies placed a heavy box in Zhao Yan's hands, and Zhao's father also received an identical box.
Back in the room.
The first thing the father and daughter did was open the box.
The box contained a lot of supplies.
Five bottles of electrolyte water, three boxes each of self-heating hot pot and rice, three bundles of noodles, five pieces of hot pot base, a single-serving self-heating pot, some cold medicine, a power bank, and ten compressed biscuits filled the box to the brim. In addition to these items, there was also a pack of sanitary napkins and a small box in the box.
At the very bottom is a painting.
The drawing depicts a little girl lying in the middle of a lush green meadow, laughing, surrounded by flowers and birds.
The sun, stroking its beard, smiled kindly as it looked down on everything.
Next to the little figure, a sentence was written in five-colored pens.
Hongqi Piao will stand by you through all the unpleasant times in life, and we hope that this small act of kindness can bring you warmth.
"Dad, these supplies were donated by Hongqi Piao."
The contents of Zhao's father's suitcase were the same as Zhao Yan's. He put the sanitary napkins into Zhao Yan's suitcase, nodded, and sighed, "Their products are not only excellent, but they also have a strong sense of social responsibility."
They even thoughtfully prepared sanitary products for the ladies.
"But what is this?"
Mr. Zhao picked up the black velvet box from the bottom of the trunk and opened it.
Inside the box was a silver necklace with a four-pointed star pendant, inlaid with a blue gemstone in the center.
"Why is there a necklace in the relief supplies?" Zhao's father looked at the necklace in his hand, but he had no clue what it was.
Zhao Yan, however, spotted the booklet hidden under the necklace.
"Instructions for using thermostatic clothing?"
"Dad! This necklace is Hongqi Piao's new constant temperature clothing! As long as you put the necklace around your neck and turn it on, you won't feel cold!"
Mr. Zhao found it a bit far-fetched. "Really? This looks like an ordinary necklace." Although he was skeptical, he still honestly put the necklace around his neck and touched it with his hand. Sure enough, the sapphire in the center of the necklace could be pressed.
Almost the instant the button was pressed, the inescapable chill in the room vanished, and the person felt as if they were standing in the warm sunshine of spring, so comfortable they wanted to scream.
"Honey! Quick, quick, check if you have this in your suitcase! Wearing it really makes you feel cold at all!"
The contents of each box were the same; whatever was in Zhao's father's box, Zhao Yan's box naturally contained the same things, except that hers wasn't a four-pointed star necklace, but a silver lily of the valley bracelet.
According to Zhao's father, once the temperature-controlled garment was opened, not a trace of cold air could be felt.
Zhao Yan tentatively took off her bulky clothes and found that no matter how many clothes she added or removed, her body temperature remained unchanged.
That's great! With this, they no longer have to worry about the cold.
