Chapter 449
The force was light, but it was just enough for the shop owner to catch it.
The other person looked at Zhou Shuwan's elegant and pretty appearance again, and thought, no wonder such a pretty girl dares to go out alone, it turns out she has some martial arts skills.
Although the base has announced self-defense techniques, it has also arranged coaches to teach self-defense and archery to survivors who are willing to learn.
But not everyone has the talent for martial arts. At most, they can deal with some crises more calmly than before the end of the world.
Zhou Shuwan said nothing, but just showed off her skill lightly, and it was obvious that her kung fu was definitely not weak.
Zhou Shuwan had to go out today in a very urgent matter. Since she had to carry an emergency kit, she couldn't carry a bow and arrow. However, she had space, so she wasn't worried about weapons.
Tao Zheng frowned slightly, and seeing that Zhou Shuwan had not suffered any loss, he remained silent.
Only when everyone was no longer paying attention to them did he thank her softly.
The wind and snow continued to rage, and Zhou Shuwan and Tao Zheng were trapped in the grocery store with others for several hours. The atmosphere was depressing.
But the snow still showed no signs of stopping, especially on the roof and surroundings. From time to time, a dull thud could be heard, as if something heavy had fallen on the house.
The shop owner's expression turned worried.
The shops in the base square are all built in a row outside the building for easy management.
But it also means there are no other buildings to share the burden of the snow.
The snow today was so heavy that the shop owner was worried that the house would collapse at any time.
Tao Zheng also looked up at the roof. The thick snow was indeed worrying.
He pondered for a moment and said to the boss, "Get some more coal from the back to raise the temperature indoors and melt as much snow as possible on the roof."
This is a stupid method, but it is better than going out and being swept away by the wind.
When the boss heard this, although he felt sorry for his coal, if the house really collapsed, his life would be in danger.
He quickly responded and turned to move the coal to the back.
Several young and strong men also went over to help.
After the coal was brought in, the fire burned more vigorously and the temperature in the house rose a little.
Everyone's anxiety was temporarily relieved.
Time passed minute by minute, and the wind and snow showed no sign of abating.
In the afternoon, there was a loud bang, and a window frame was blown away by the strong wind, and the howling wind and snow instantly poured into the house.
Everyone's faces turned pale, and they retreated with cries of terror, dodging the flying wood chips and snow. The temperature in the room plummeted, and the fire was extinguished by the wind and snow, leaving only a few pieces of coal still burning stubbornly, emitting a faint red glow.
"Put on air-conditioned clothes quickly!" Zhou Shuwan made a prompt decision and shouted loudly.
Fortunately, people were very cautious. They just took off their masks and turned off the temperature adjustment inside the air-conditioning suit. Now they just need to put on the mask and turn on the switch.
Everyone hurriedly put on their masks and turned on their air-conditioning suits.
Warm air blew out of the air-conditioned clothes, dispelling the coldness on my body.
Tao Zheng organized people to repair the windows.
"Are there any more planks?" he asked the shop owner loudly in the wind and snow.
The shop owner's lips trembled as he pointed at a few wooden boards piled in the corner: "These... these are the only ones left..."
Without giving it much thought, everyone hurriedly nailed the wooden boards to the windows. Fortunately, the windows were small, and they used four or five wooden boards to nail three layers, which finally temporarily withstood the blizzard.
Although the wind and snow were temporarily blocked, everyone was not completely relieved.
The wind was howling outside the window, as if it would break through the thin wooden board at any time.
Moreover, they were also worried that the thick snow would collapse the roof.
Tao Zheng frowned, discussed with Zhou Shuwan for a few words, then nodded, walked up to the shop owner, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have a strong nylon rope?"
