Chapter 18 Hotel
"Mom and Dad, don't move in the car. I'll go down and check the situation."
Mo Fei got out of the car fully armed, holding a parasol and a handheld electric fan.
Unfortunately, in the high temperature of 50 degrees, the handheld electric fan only blows out hot air.
While no one was looking, Mo Fei threw the useless little fan into the space and walked forward.
The sun was blazing brightly, and Mo Fei felt as if the soles of her shoes were melting after only two steps. She struggled to stand on a high place and looked forward.
Mo Fei suddenly discovered that when she stared closely at a place, she could clearly hear the sound coming from that place.
For example, at this moment, the traffic police not far ahead are maintaining order at the scene and reporting the situation to their superiors.
All these sounds reached Mo Fei's ears one by one.
Two large trucks in front of us rear-ended each other, with a car sandwiched between them.
The police car and ambulance have arrived, but it seems that the person cannot be saved.
It will take at least ten more hours to clean up the scene.
These are the voices of traffic police and some car owners stuck in the front. It's very noisy.
Am I a clairvoyant or a clairaudient? Mo Fei couldn't help wondering.
Some car owners who couldn't make the crossing wanted to try to walk into the city with their families, but they backed off as soon as they got out of their cars.
This scorching heat can be described as magma raining down from the sky. Without air conditioning, people would probably die of thirst.
After finding out the situation, Mo Fei did not stay for long. He quickly returned to the car and told his family about what had happened.
Mo Jiayue's crying voice came: "What should I do, brother?"
When Jianian, who was confused by the fever, heard his sister crying, he subconsciously raised his hand to find his sister, but his hand fell down weakly again.
The antipyretics had no effect on him at all.
Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng, who were holding their two children, looked even more unhappy. Now they completely believed what Mo Fei said about the natural disaster.
Such extreme weather alone is enough to kill many elderly people and young children with underlying diseases.
What's more, what Mo Fei said about the theory of survival of the fittest and the possible emergence of mutant creatures...
At this moment, they were just two helpless old people, anxious like ants on a hot pan but unable to do anything.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Mo Fei said as he handed the stream water in the thermos to the back and asked them to feed it to Mo Jianian.
Mo Jianian's eyes were tightly closed, and when his lips touched the stream water, he suddenly reacted and drank several bottles in a row. The burning sensation on his body seemed to have subsided a little.
The family finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Mo Fei if there was any water left.
"Yes." Mo Fei took out a few bottles of mineral water from the car refrigerator. Of course, she replaced the water with stream water. "In addition to feeding Jianian, drink some for yourself. This water should be able to prevent heat stroke."
At the same time, Mo Fei was calculating rapidly in his mind.
At this time, the hospital was overcrowded with various infectious diseases, so going to the hospital was absolutely not feasible. And maybe the medicines available in the hospital were not as many as those in her space.
The fastest way out of the city is in front of you. Taking the other road will cover half of the city and it will take at least three hours to get to the villa.
Normally, the navigation system would report the traffic jam ahead, but today it seemed to be mute. I had no choice but to take a gamble.
Mo Fei no longer hesitated, turned the car around and sped away.
"Help me! Help me!" A middle-aged man standing under the shade of a tree on the road shouted at Mo Fei's car.
His body was covered with blisters wherever it touched the ground, which looked terrifying.
The man must have been confused by the heat. He drove his car head-on into a tree and then struggled to climb out of the car.
Mo Fei hesitated for a moment, and when he drove past the man, he threw a bottle of ordinary ice mineral water out of the car window, and then called 120 for the man.
The whole process was done in one go. Mo Fei stepped on the accelerator as hard as he could without stopping for even a second for this man.
When she was in the orphanage, she knew that kindness would not bring any material rewards to people.
Kindness is the selfless giving to others while satisfying one's own needs.
Later, she climbed up step by step, working hard day and night to become a chef. She also learned to be kind and tolerant like those good people.
Only now, she seemed to have returned to that period in the orphanage.
What's wrong with only caring about yourself?
Song Yi was a soft-hearted person. She couldn't help but look back through the rear window at the miserable middle-aged man.
But then I heard the man cursing viciously at the top of his lungs.
Mo Zhicheng patted Song Yi's shoulder and shook his head.
They are already busy taking care of themselves, so how can they have the time to care about others?
A bottle of water and a phone call were all they could do.
Song Yi naturally understood this truth, put the image of that man out of her mind, and changed the ice pack to apply on Jianian's head.
"Jianian, Jianian? Can you hear your mother talking?" Mo Fei shouted towards the back seat while driving.
"Um...Mom..." Jianian couldn't open his eyes at all, and his eyelashes moved with a very small sound.
The car's fuel tank and battery are running low.
"Fei Fei, how long will it take?" Song Yi asked anxiously.
Mo Fei quickly switched the navigation target and drifted the car to the underground parking lot of Changchuan Hotel.
"Let's go and stay in a hotel first." Mo Fei parked the car, asked his family to put on masks and sun-protective clothing, and then picked up his son.
The family walked from the emergency exit of the underground parking lot to the hotel lobby.
Now that electricity is restricted in every residential area, quite a few people still come to stay in hotels with their families.
"Suite!" Mo Fei scanned the code and paid 2,888 yuan. "Open it for one day."
"You came at the right time. There's only one room left. Please show your ID card," the receptionist said politely.
"Hey!" There was a sound of high heels, "Wait, I'll give you 5,000, I want this room."
A woman in a red halter dress came over quickly and put her designer bag on the front desk.
The receptionist smiled awkwardly: "Excuse me ma'am, this guest came first."
She pointed at Mo Fei and his group.
The woman in the red dress looked Mo Fei up and down. Seeing that she was wearing a sun protection jacket of unknown brand from head to toe, she raised her voice contemptuously: "I said I want it. 100,000, open for a week first. I am a VIP guest of your hotel."
The receptionist looked at the gold hotel card the woman presented and had to apologize to Mo Fei, "I'm sorry, this lady is our VIP guest, and our hotel's rooms must be given priority to..."
Mo Fei: “…”
The woman smiled with satisfaction when she heard that, picked up her small bag, took the room card and left.
Mo Fei didn't say anything more. Pointless arguments would only waste his energy and saliva.
The front desk clerk handed over a few bottles of ice water with an apologetic look, and suggested that Mo Fei and the others could rest in the hotel lobby first.
There is still air conditioning here. If a house becomes available today, Mo Fei will be given priority.
Mo Fei rejected her proposal and raised his car keys: "My car is parked in your parking lot. Please fill up the gas for me with the 2888 I just scanned, and the rest will be your tip. Can you do it?"
"Okay!" The receptionist happily agreed. A full tank of gas only costs a certain amount of money. They're going to make a fortune today.
"After you fill up, just park in front of your hotel and call me."
As soon as Mo Fei finished talking to the front desk, he discovered that the elevator that the woman in the red dress had just taken had broken down, trapping everyone inside. The hotel had no choice but to urgently find someone to repair it, only to discover that the power in the entire hotel had been cut off.
…
Mo Fei thought, is this what they call a blessing in disguise?
People kept coming into the hotel lobby to cool off and quarrel. Mo Fei took his family back to the relatively cool underground parking lot, and the family sat in a secluded corner of the parking lot.
Mo Fei undressed Jianian and let him lie flat to make him as comfortable as possible.
Mo Jianian had several fever-reducing patches on his head and ice packs on his hands and feet, but his body was still as scary as a furnace.
"Miss, do you need me to call an ambulance for you? It seems that your child is not in good condition." The receptionist who came down to check the situation said kindly.
Mo Fei shook his head.
"There's a pharmacy 500 meters over there. Do you want to buy some medicine there?" the receptionist suggested again.
Helping customers solve their problems is her professional code of conduct.
Mo Fei's heart moved. She didn't have much medicine in stock. She still had to wait for the gas to be filled up, so it wouldn't hurt for her to go and take a look.
After Mo Fei told her family to wait for her here, she walked out of the hotel alone and headed towards the pharmacy that the front desk mentioned.
