Chapter 289 Selection 26
midnight,
The surrounding temperature dropped again.
The bright safe area was packed with people, and many people could not enter the house. They could only stand in a lighted place outside the store, shivering around a bonfire.
"Why don't we start a fire again? It's too cold here." The man in a large cotton-padded jacket rubbed his hands, which were red from the cold, and breathed lightly.
"There is no firewood, what can we use to make a fire?"
The woman next to him, wearing a black down jacket and wrapped in a thick quilt, looked at the people sleeping comfortably in the room with a look of resentment.
The other two people were silent, staring blankly at the bonfire in front of them, the firelight flashing in their eyes.
Behind a few people, in the bright room, people hugged each other in groups, covered themselves with all the clothes they could wear, and leaned closely together. Although the temperature inside the room was higher than outside, it was only about ten degrees, and it was still chilly.
.
Snowflakes were wrapped in the cold wind and drifted over forcefully, and the flames began to beat violently and make a popping sound.
"The wind is blowing, put the board up quickly, don't let the fire go out."
Several people got busy in an instant, but the howling wind and snow became stronger again, making people stagger and unsteady, and wisps of cold wind grabbed every gap and poured straight into their bodies.
Dense snowflakes fell on the flames, soaking the burning wooden boards, and the flames became weaker and weaker.
The man who was barely standing was hit by the strong wind and his feet slipped and he fell backwards. The people beside him hurriedly reached out to grab him, but only caught one sleeve.
The fallen person was smashed into the snow behind him, and his upper body fell into darkness. Almost instantly, his head began to turn to stone, then his neck, body, arms and limbs.
The person holding him quickly let go. The three of them were stunned and stunned. The change happened so fast that they were unprepared.
At this time, the flame was also extinguished by the wind and snow.
The woman wearing a black down jacket looked at her companion who had turned into ashes in front of her. The cold wind that penetrated through the gaps in her clothes and trousers seemed to penetrate into her bones, chilling her to the bone.
Cold, fear and the shadow of death instantly enveloped people, making it difficult to even breathe.
No! She can't stay outside anymore.
The woman quickly got up and walked into the house. The other two followed closely, but the three of them were stopped at the door by people inside.
"What are you doing? Didn't we agree that you would be outside?"
"There is no room for more people in the room."
The nearest few people stood up and blocked the three people. Everyone else looked at the three people blocked at the door.
"Are you blind? The fire is out and the wooden boards are wet. If you don't come in, are you going to freeze to death?" The woman in a black down jacket took out a gun and pointed it at the head of the person in front of her, angry.
Tao.
Behind the woman, a man with a Chinese character in a floral jacket and blue velvet trousers pointed his gun at the light bulb in the center of the room and said, "Instead of this, why don't we all die together?"
"We can't survive, so don't think too hard. Who can't pull a back?" Another person said, looking at everyone fiercely.
The people in the room don't care whether they live or die, but if these people want to break the light bulb, that won't work.
A shrewd-looking middle-aged man hurriedly came out and tried to reconcile with a smile, "Calm down, calm down, but don't be impulsive. It's not easy for everyone. Let's understand each other."
Seeing that the three people outside the door refused to give in, the middle-aged man looked at the people inside and said, "They have been freezing outside for several hours. Let's squeeze in and the three of us can still fit in."
Everyone in the house was also afraid that the three people outside the door would jump over the wall in a hurry, and they would be in trouble, and they would feel relieved.
At this time, the burly man with a sinister face who was the first to come in spoke, "You can come in and hand over your crystal ball."
When they heard that they were about to hand over the Yu Jing Ball, the woman and the man with the Chinese character hesitated, but the other person who spoke the least decisively agreed, took out the Yu Jing Ball from his pocket and threw it to the big man.
The woman and the Chinese-faced man reluctantly took out the things, but were snatched away by the brawny man's younger brother.
Then, the three of them entered the house.
The small room was packed with twenty or thirty people. Three people couldn't squeeze in, so they had to sit down near the glass door.
The wind and snow outside were getting bigger and bigger, and the sea breeze kept coming in through the gaps in the glass door. The backs of several people's coats were soon covered with a thick layer of frost.
At the door, a young man wearing a green military coat was shivering from the cold. He opened his eyes and looked at his companions beside him. He immediately screamed, climbed up and walked towards the house.
At this time, the people next to him had been frozen into icemen, and a thick layer of frost had formed near the door, and the frost was still growing into the house.
The big man suddenly panicked. This was a phenomenon caused by a sharp drop in temperature. Everyone hurriedly stood up and moved closer to the house.
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the glass door instantly turned into a door of ice, and an obvious dividing line of ice appeared on the ground.
"Make a fire, light a fire quickly."
Someone shouted, "If the ice spreads in, we will all die."
"Yes, yes, make a fire, make a fire."
Everyone quickly searched out all the things that could be burned in the house and piled them together.
People with lighters rushed forward to light a fire.
A pile of blazing flames soon ignited, and the ice that occupied most of the room retreated slightly under the heat of the flames.
"Effective, fast, increase firepower."
Seeing that the flames had dispersed the frost, everyone was so surprised that they broke the wooden cabinet into pieces and threw them in.
Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, the lights in the room began to flicker. Everyone was already in shock and panicked. Panic instantly occupied their entire minds.
"What's going on? Why is this light flashing?"
"Isn't this a safe zone? How can there be problems?"
"It may be that the wind and snow are too strong and the power lines are broken, or it may be that the temperature drops sharply and freezes the transformer or something."
With a bang, the lights went out.
The room instantly darkened, and the constantly beating firelight lengthened everyone's shadows.
"Ah!!"
"Can you please stop screaming?"
The screams of women and the angry curses of men caused by fear are intertwined.
When everyone was panicked, scared, and at a loss, the shadow on the wall slowly moved closer along the elongated shadows of the people, completely swallowing up the row of people closest to the wall.
Infected by the woman's screams, the young man was frightened and pushed the woman in front of him who was screaming in terror.
Everyone was crowded together, and the woman suddenly fell down and subconsciously grabbed the person next to her.
The person next to me pulls the person next to me, and everyone becomes a mess.
The person behind was pulled forward by the person in front. He raised his hand to grab the person behind and stabilize his body, but he hit a hard object instead.
Then there was the soft sound of sand falling to the ground.
