Chapter 271 What Quality (12)
No matter how difficult it was to carry the supplies in the mall, they were only those that could be carried by manpower. But when it came to the dormitory, Lan Jin and his friends really had no idea what to do.
They are not needed for some small things, and they are not able to lift the large capsule compartment.
Fortunately, Brother Zhang didn't plan to let them carry the capsule warehouse, so on the third day, they didn't have to go anymore.
Brother Zhang said, "The capsule can't be lifted by human power. I'll take people to clean up these ice droplets first and then move the capsule."
However, as mentioned before, the weather will be very abnormal before the extreme heat. It managed to hold on fine yesterday, but it failed today. The icy rain fell again. Although it only lasted for a few minutes, the passage that had been blasted out and treated was still collapsed by the impact of the icy rain.
Fortunately, the alarm was sounded this time as well, and there were no casualties, but people were trapped in the building of the capsule dormitory again.
It would have been fine if the icy rain had ended, but a cold wind soon began to blow, and snowflakes danced in the air. Only ten minutes later, before they could even think of a way to rescue them, the blizzard came.
Outside the protective shield, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, making it impossible to see the road ahead.
If you want to rescue them, there is no need to consider doing it from the outside. There is only one way, which is to dig a passage from the bottom and then send someone back quickly through the passage.
However, the passage this time was different from the last one. The previous passage was supported by a half-cracked protective shield at the back, and some places narrowly avoided the icy rain, so it was easy to make a passage. But this time, the wind and rain intertwined, coupled with the backlog of gravity, the protective shield could not withstand it and had completely fallen down. Not only was it stuck in the middle, it also blocked their way to open the passage.
In short, if they are not prepared, they will all die in this passage, so the difficulty involved can be imagined. Not to mention the base, even they themselves cannot rashly start digging and blowing up.
"We've just been buried. There's no need to rush. Let's first think of a safer way." However, Lan Jin suddenly realized another problem. "If I remember correctly, there are still several superpower teams outside the base who haven't returned yet. I don't know if the superpowers outside can escape this disaster."
There was no need for Lan Jin to mention this kind of thing, but after she said it, a heart-wrenching feeling rose in my heart.
After all, in this situation, hiding in a car is useless, the only option is to hide in a tall building. If you are unlucky and miss it, I am afraid...
Oh, I can’t think about it. My heart hurts when I think about it.
…
Because of the collapse at the entrance of their passage, many ice droplets were squeezed into the protective shield due to the impact. Brother Li quickly ordered people to clean up this area first. No matter what method was used, they could not delay things because of these small details.
But who would have thought that just as the order was given, a woman in a white coat appeared behind them and shouted, "Why don't you guys go over and help? You have such strong abilities. If you took action, wouldn't you be able to open the passage faster?"
The voice seemed familiar. When Lan Jin looked back, she found that the person was a female comrade from Professor Pei's team. It seemed that this female comrade had said some unpleasant words at the critical moment last time, so Lan Jin did not have a good impression of her.
But this person was not an important person, so naturally no one remembered her clearly, and there was no need to answer her questions. Everyone looked back at her briefly, just a glance, and turned their heads back, completely ignoring this person.
The woman obviously didn't expect Lan Jin and the others to have such an attitude. Instead, it ignited her inner anger. She took a step forward angrily and shouted again: "Hey, I'm talking to you, and you..."
However, before the woman could finish her words, another man in a white coat pulled her back. He said in a sullen tone, "It's none of your business whether they fight or not. Since they're not doing anything, it must be because now is not the right time to do anything. They were the ones who opened the passage last time. You saw it before. I don't know what you're trying to say."
What do you want to do? If you feel unhappy, you are being morally blackmailed.
But Lan Jin didn't buy it. In the apocalypse, people like them had suffered all kinds of hardships and seen all kinds of things. This woman was simply too well protected and had too much to eat. Otherwise, how could she have the time to cause trouble at such a critical moment?
Brother Li wasn't a very kind person to begin with, so he immediately called Professor Pei and informed him of the girl's behavior. However, the girl still didn't think she was wrong. "What did I say wrong? Since their abilities are so strong, there are other ways to deal with them. Why can't they do anything?"
"Whether we take action or not is none of your business. You're talking as if our inaction will delay yours. If you can do it, then do it. If you can't, then just stand there and keep talking nonsense."
What we mean is that Ling Jiang has a hot temper to begin with, and nothing has made her angry recently, so if she holds her temper in for too long, she will get angry.
But I have to say, it feels really good to argue with people.
The woman pointed at Ling Jiang and replied, "What kind of character do you have?"
"You think you have good manners when you point fingers at other people's affairs. Before you criticize others, please look in the mirror first." After Lan Jin finished speaking, he took a step forward and stood with Ling Jiang, looking as if he was afraid of you. It felt like he was using the strong to challenge the weak.
Because Ling Jiang is 175cm tall, she is 170cm tall, and this girl is only 160cm tall at most. She is weak, helpless, and... like a shrew.
Just as the woman was about to start cursing, Professor Pei walked over through a door at the back.
As soon as Brother Li saw Professor Pei, he hurried over to her and explained what had just happened without waiting for the woman to speak. The woman was then taken away by Professor Pei with an unhappy look on his face.
Then, the man who had just rescued her said, "I'm sorry, Xinxin has been spoiled, so her temper isn't very good. I hope you can be more tolerant."
Lan Jin glanced at him and replied, "I don't want it."
Ling Jiang also said: "I don't want it either."
The man didn't expect them to answer like this. Shouldn't he just say politely "It's okay, it's okay" and then let the matter pass?
But why? What did they do to offend anyone? Why should they suffer in vain and then forgive each other's ignorance?
But the man in front of him had never seen such a situation before, so after seeing their reactions, he really didn't know how to respond.
For a moment, two women and one man stood together, feeling very awkward.
