Chapter 153 Extreme Cold. The First Beam of Light
If it weren't for Xiaodong's fighting spirit, Chu An would have given up saving them. At worst, they could just run away together. She could find a place for Zhuo's mother and Zhuona to stay in Qingrun Apartment. Chen Xun's house was still empty.
"The enemy has night vision goggles. We lose because we can't see clearly. If we can illuminate Area 17, the security team can fight back."
"You say it's easy, but how can we light up when the power is out?" Xiaodong's mother complained, "What a lousy idea."
"Shut up." Zhuo's mother scolded, "Since Xiao An said so, it must be feasible. Why are you pouring cold water on me? Do you really want to die?"
"Mom, can you please stop causing more trouble? Do you want to be a nuisance to everyone like Grandma Wu and Grandma Zhao?"
Chu An felt relieved after hearing this, and continued calmly, "I found some batteries and high-power flashlights on the way here. The batteries may not work well, you can give it a try."
She mixed in some that had been soaked in water, after all, it was unrealistic to have them all be usable after being exposed to minus 88 degrees Celsius.
The young man who ran over to report the news frowned, "Brother Liu and the others also took flashlights, and they were completely unable to take care of it when the fight started."
"So, we need help from everyone in the community." Chu An took out a plastic bag full of batteries and ten hand-cranked high-intensity flashlights from the Little Bee, and turned one on. The entire corridor was instantly lit up with strong light.
If you want to get through this difficult time, it depends on whether you dare or not!!!
Zhuo's mother slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, how could I forget that there are flashlights and batteries in the warehouse."
She excitedly said to the man in front of her, "Brother Li, please go around the back to the warehouse to find the battery. No matter if it can be used or not, find it first."
"Xiaodong, run fast and distribute these batteries to other buildings." Zhuo's mother's hands were shaking with excitement. "Tell them to light all the candles for me."
"Take this too." Chu An distributed five high-intensity flashlights. The effectiveness of these batteries was too slim.
Xiaodong's mother was about to speak, but met Chu An's cold gaze and held back, "Xiaodong, Mommy will go with you."
Xiaodong broke away from her and said, "You are too slow. I will run along the wall. I will be fine."
The messenger limped in, his down jacket already ripped with several holes. "Give me a flashlight, I can't fight, I'll go and light it up."
Chuan handed him one.
"Xiao Ye, please go to Building 7, Nana and Dafeng, you go to Building 3 and Building 4..."
All the assigned people ran out. The closer the building was to the road, the more dangerous it was. In the end, only Building 1 and Building 10 were left.
"I'll go to Building 10." Zhuo's mother looked at the security team member who had just come in to report the news, "Ji Liang, you go to Building 1, go around from the back, and be careful."
"Don't worry, Aunt Zhuo." Ji Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and limped out.
Finally, Zhuo's mother looked at Chu An and said, "Xiao An, just stay in the room. If..."
Chu An held Zhuo's mother's hand and whispered, "I will ensure Zhuona's safety."
Mother Zhuo thought that she had promised to take them away when necessary, and she felt three parts relieved and seven parts ashamed.
She could entrust her life to District 7, but as a mother, she could also understand Xiaodong's mother's feelings.
After Zhuo's mother left, Chu An returned to the window, wiped out a clean piece of glass, and used a night vision telescope to observe the situation outside.
The enemy had already rushed to between Building 2 and Building 9, and was slowly approaching the activity room.
There is also a searchlight in her space, and there is also one in Zhuona's house, but it will not be turned on without a guide.
I can save you, but please give me some response.
She looked at the watch. Twenty seconds... Thirty seconds... The longer it took, the slimmer her chances of winning.
Finally, the first beam of light shot out from Building 6 after the second hand turned a circle. Although it was weak, it was enough to encourage everyone.
Then, the second beam, the third beam... the tenth beam... the twentieth beam, and more than a dozen beams of strong light shot out from each building.
"There is light, we have light." someone exclaimed.
The security team had retreated to between buildings 3 and 7. There were about 20 people, half of them were lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. But in minus 60 degrees Celsius, even if they were alive, it would be very difficult to lie there for a while.
Liu Lao Hu had been rushing in the front. His weapon was long gone, his hat was blown off, his face was covered in blood, and a fruit knife was stuck in his shoulder.
He roared and opened his arms, blocking the five villains like a wall, and pushed them out with his physical strength.
The villain was not as strong as him, so he could only chop his shoulder with his hands, and the knife brought out blood-stained cotton.
"ah--"
Liu Lao Hu seemed to feel no pain and roared like a bull. The light just witnessed his most heroic moment.
The moment the community lit up, an arrow shot diagonally from the upper building into the villain's body, followed by another and another.
Liu Shuang was anxiously looking for her father, but she couldn't bear to watch other people die. She was very upset. She clearly wanted to talk to him, but she felt guilty when she saw them come back.
Damn it, so damn much.
The distance upstairs was limited, so many people ran out of the corridor and tried to get as close to them as possible to illuminate them.
Beams of glowing flames cut through the night sky like sharp swords, gathering on the central stage and presenting the ugly faces on the stage to the only "audience".
Audience member Chu An was in a good mood. The medicine had been administered and she could start boiling the medicine.
Right in front of her, Liu Lao Hu finally pushed the villain one meter away and knocked down four others.
He shook himself and grinned, it was great to be able to see. Then, as if he had turned on a trick, he snatched the villain's knife and slashed it with blood.
Zhu Guangzhi, who was not far away, was not so lucky and was surrounded by three villains.
He knocked one of them to the ground, and then he himself fell down and was stabbed in the back by another person.
"ah"
The moment he turned over, the villain's blade fell again, and he could only catch the blade with his bare hands.
In an instant, the blood dyed the white gloves red, and coupled with the injury on his back, he could hardly hold on.
"Brother Zhu!!!"
Liu Liyang shouted loudly, but he was too far away from Zhu Guangzhi and it was too late for him to run.
The blade approaches the tip of the nose inch by inch...
At this time, the villain who was knocked down by him got up from the ground and kicked him hard in the waist and head.
"Fuck, if you dare to bump into me, I will send you to hell."
Zhu Guangzhi spat out a mouthful of blood and felt all the bones in his body were broken. Just when he thought he was doomed, the three villains in front of him suddenly lost their strength and fell to the ground, holding their chests in pain.
He was stunned for a few seconds, then crawled to the wall and sat against it to catch his breath.
Others encountered the same situation. Liu Lao Hu felt that the person on the other side was a scammer. As soon as he touched his clothes, he fell to the ground with his head drooping.
Liu Liyang got the chance to come over to see his brother Zhu, "Zhu...Brother Zhu, how are you?"
"Call me... Guangzhi brother." He struggled to squeeze out the words, but did not forget to joke, "How many times have you said it, huh?"
Liu Liyang solved another one and smiled at him foolishly.
Zhu Guangzhi also smiled, feeling relieved. While others were depressed by the natural disaster, he found the feeling of fighting side by side with his comrades.
This time, he won't listen to anyone and leave first.
