Chapter 448
In fact, it was working hours and she was originally in the hospital.
A patient suddenly fell ill and fell to the side of the road, convulsing all over. Others were afraid to move him, so they skated to the hospital on their ice skates to seek help.
It just so happened that she was on duty in the emergency room all week.
So I brought a nurse with me.
When they were suddenly caught in a snowstorm, she reacted the fastest. She rushed to the place where there was a rope in a few steps, quickly fastened the buckle on her body to the rope, and then held the rope tightly. When she came to her senses, the nurse and the people who asked for help had disappeared.
She briefly explained the situation and asked the other party, "What about you?"
Tao Zheng nodded slightly: "Patrol."
Zhou Shuwan nodded. If they were on patrol, it should be a patrol team. Looking around him, he was the only one who found this place.
Tao Zheng smiled bitterly. "The five of us had grabbed the rope, but there were survivors shouting for help ahead, so we went to save them... In the end, I managed to grab the rope with great difficulty, but the others never saw it again."
Everyone in the room was silent.
If you go missing in a snowstorm and are wearing air-conditioned or cold-proof clothing and are just trapped outside, that's not bad; you'll always be safe in the end.
But if you are injured or your cold-proof clothing is torn, you can hardly survive the extreme cold for long.
Most of the time, what was found was just a corpse.
This shop was the grocery store that the Zhou family originally rented. After the leader of the cannibal gang was captured, the Zhou family closed the grocery store.
Later, a coal seller rented the place and his business was booming with customers coming in every day.
It looked like there was a sudden snowstorm today, so the owner of this store took the initiative to open the door to let the survivors outside in to take shelter from the snow.
The security at the base is pretty good, and even if it temporarily shelters people in distress, there won't be any major safety issues.
The shop owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. Seeing Zhou Shuwan and Tao Zheng standing there blankly, he waved them over and said, "Come sit over here and warm up for a while. I don't think this snowstorm will pass anytime soon."
Indeed, in more than a year, except for the initial period, this is almost the biggest snowstorm people have encountered.
Even the buildings across the square collapsed.
Zhou Shuwan frowned slightly.
In today's disaster, we don't know how many buildings and houses have been destroyed, and how many survivors have died!
This is the sadness of living in the end times. No matter how people use air-conditioned clothing, cold-proof clothing, or white flame furnaces to prevent natural disasters, in the face of devastating natural disasters, human power is extremely small.
Tao Zheng was on patrol and didn't know whether Qi Mingyu was outside.
However, with his skills and sense of crisis, it should not be difficult for him to protect himself before danger.
My mother must have been staying in the fungus cultivation base. The factory room is now the safest and warmest place in the base, so there is no need to worry about her.
But it's not necessarily the same for my dad. The maintenance department occasionally goes out on field trips. For example, if the circuits or heating facilities in hospitals, factories or base departments are damaged, the maintenance workers will need to go out to repair them.
There are also Mu Mu and Grandma Pang who stayed at home.
Mu Mu is smart and capable, and hopes to protect himself and his grandmother.
Zhou Shuwan looked unhappy. Like her, the other survivors were worried about the weather outside and their loved ones at home.
Almost two hours had passed since the sudden snowstorm, and Zhou Shuwan had walked that short distance with difficulty for an hour.
Something was suddenly stuffed into the palm of my hand.
Zhou Shuwan was startled and looked up, only to see Tao Zheng quietly stuffing a piece of compressed biscuit into his hand.
Only then did she realize that it was already time for lunch. She had just expended a lot of energy outside.
She was also hungry, so she didn't refuse and smiled at the other person.
There were more than twenty people in the room, and they had two fires burning for warmth. Zhou Shuwan was sitting in a corner near the wall. He turned back and quietly broke the biscuits into small pieces and stuffed them into his mouth.
The others were also eating quietly.
After so many years of the apocalypse, everyone who survived is no longer a simple and ignorant newbie.
They have also gained their own experience in fighting against natural disasters.
For example, during the acid rain season, people have to go out to work or look for supplies due to the pressure of survival, so they will carry acid rain-proof clothing or various umbrellas, basins, etc., which can protect themselves from the acid rain.
In extremely cold weather, in addition to wearing cold-proof clothing all the time, you should also carry some dry food with you so that you can quickly replenish your body's energy when you are trapped and wait for rescue.
The compressed biscuits were very dry, so Zhou Shuwan took out two bottles of water from the first aid kit he carried with him and handed one to Tao Zheng.
The latter raised an eyebrow and looked at the first aid kit slung across her body.
I didn’t expect that it was so small and compact, but it could hold so many things.
The shop owner over there saw the interaction between the two people, stared at Zhou Shuwan's first aid kit for a while, then walked over with a smile.
"You are a doctor, right? I was right."
Seeing Zhou Shuwan nodded, his smile deepened a bit: "Doctor, it seems that the people who took shelter from the snow in my store have to pay some fees for using my house and coal. You..."
Zhou Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
She had just thought that this boss was a rare good man in the apocalypse, who actually took the initiative to provide a warm room for the survivors.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be profitable.
The others listened but remained silent.
Obviously, they had to pay a small fee to be able to sit here peacefully.
Tao Zheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you want?"
"Anything is fine. Food, warmth, or first aid supplies..."
His eyes fell on the first aid kit on Zhou Shuwan's waist.
This first aid kit is a must-have for medical staff when they go out. It doesn’t contain much, just bandages, cotton swabs, alcohol and other first aid supplies for quickly treating wounds.
However, people living in the base can now basically guarantee food and water, and those who are more luxurious can even eat fish and mushrooms every few days.
Therefore, what is more in short supply is first aid supplies.
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "This first aid kit belongs to the hospital, I can't make the decision. But I can give you this bottle of alcohol as payment, but it's not just mine, it's for him and me."
The alcohol Zhou Shuwan took out was a small 35 ml bottle.
The boss was a very shrewd businessman. His eyes flickered and he hesitated.
Zhou Shuwan didn't say much. He casually took out a dagger from his waist and turned it around deftly with his fingertips. The sharp blade flashed a few cold rays.
"Uh, of course! That's enough, that's enough!"
The shop owner saw how skillfully she wielded the dagger and guessed that she must know some martial arts. He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity but didn't want to offend anyone, so he nodded hurriedly.
Zhou Shuwan glanced at him indifferently and threw the bottle in his hand to him.
