Chapter 42: Footprints in the Blizzard

On February 27, it snowed heavily in Yecheng.

It is clear that spring is approaching, and this snow can be said to have come a little later than before.

But this momentum is not like a snow in the end of winter, but more like a vent of winter's provocation to spring before leaving.

In just a few hours from the first snowflakes fell, the temperature of the entire Yecheng city plummeted below zero, becoming a veritable ice and snow kingdom.

"This snow, it's so strange, ten years no, I haven't touched it since I was born!"

In the Meteorological Forecasting Bureau in the outer city of Yecheng, there was a "very smart" man who kept patting the snowflakes on his shoulders, and just now he went to the corridor to close the window, but in just a few seconds, his body was covered with ice and snow.

"Blizzard, and it's quite a serious blizzard, Old Wu, we're done this time. ”

Someone stood at the window, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, glanced back at the data on the desktop light screen, and whispered helplessly.

In front of him was a floor-to-ceiling window, but outside the window, there was no sign of the busy night scene that the outer city should have.

It's not because of leaving work early or other reasons, it's just that the wind and snow are too big and have completely covered up the scenery outside.

"What does it have to do with us, and we didn't invite this blizzard?"

The man known as Lao Wu is constantly tapping the light screen in front of him with a smart pen to check the weather data updated in real time.

"This snowstorm has nothing to do with us, the problem is that we failed to forecast in time, this is the biggest problem, the news I only learned yesterday afternoon is just a forecast of a blizzard, and it has not been reported to the Yecheng government to let them pay attention, you look at the appearance of the outside now, how much loss do you think there will be without any preparation"

"Hey, don't care about how much loss there is, come and see this, something happened!"

Looking at the blue low temperature alarm and strong wind alarm on the light screen, Lao Wu's face was very ugly.

"How can it be minus 12 degrees Celsius! This level of low temperature has only happened for a day or two this winter, right?"

The geographical location of Yecheng determines that its winter cannot be too cold, minus 12 degrees Celsius, which is already an extremely rare situation, coffee is placed on the table, how can this situation be drunk, thought about it and said,

"We must immediately give the government an early warning, so that they can prepare for the snow disaster as soon as possible Lao Wu, what are you doing?"

As he was talking, Lao Wu suddenly got up and left his seat and walked out.

"I've reported the situation, you can help me with the next thing, my wife just got off work, I have to pick her up. ”

Due to the sudden snowstorm, the entire Yecheng fell into chaos in a short period of time, the bus was blocked on the road, and the delay was inevitable.

Take the elevator all the way to the garage of the Meteorological Bureau, drive away, and according to his plan, take his wife directly to the house.

"The headlights and taillights are turned to the brightest, the automatic driving mode is on, and we are heading to the third street in the outer city of Yecheng"

The seat belt is tightened, Lao Wu does not know how to drive manually, but the wind and snow that constantly slap on the window in front of him are really a test of driving skills, but now when the relationship between man and machine is close to the state between the tuba and the toilet paper, he obviously relies more on the latter.

But that still didn't make his trip smooth.

Just after driving out two streets, the car had to stop.

"Mr. Wu, the traffic light in front of you is congested and unable to move forward, and the traffic light shows that the normal companion status has been sent and the reminder signal has not responded. ”

The intelligent system loaded in the car faithfully performed its duties, but the rear lights of the vehicles in front of the car that were faintly reflected through the wind and snow made Lao Wu's face more and more ugly.

"Fuck, it's all green light and don't go.,Do you think you are all Tuohai.,The intelligent system doesn't have to be manually driven, and it's not Autumn Famous Mountain.,Gan!"

Obviously, Lao Wu should have watched a classic anime a hundred years ago when he was a child, and road rage is not a thing that will decrease because of the changes of the times, in fact, because of the production of empty boats, this situation has even expanded.

"Crown, let the car in front of you drive away!"

For example, the developers and controllers of these intelligent systems in daily life have always been the crown group, so before they were renamed by the buyer, all intelligent systems were originally called crowns.

"Okay, the message is sent again, the message is sent again~"

After the repeated prompt sounded, there was a harsh busy sound, Lao Wu was stunned, and then looked at the display screen on the side of the steering wheel in a bit of a daze, and there was already a snowflake on it.

Will there be problems with Crown Machinery's products?

Lao Wu didn't care about this matter now, he only knew that the car had automatically switched to manual driving, and he had to let the car in front of him leave.

For this reason, he opened the car door, and went forward to remind them in the most primitive way.

But when he walked through the snow a few meters away to one of the cars, he saw a broken windshield and empty seats.

It may be that the situation in front of him is too weird, or it may be that the temperature around him is too low to make Lao Wu's thinking more and more stiff, after he noticed the strangeness in front of him, all he could do was to wrap the clothes on his body, and then subconsciously look at the same stalled vehicle next to him.

The status quo of the two cars is actually different.

The car on Lao Wu's left was only filled with snowflakes, while the car on his right, the steering wheel and the windshield that only had a small half left, were already frozen.

In other words, the car on the right was like this a long time ago, and the car on the left had an accident not long after

It's all about the shattered windshield, that is, the impact is coming from the front.

So Lao Wu looked forward blankly, he saw the violent snowstorm, and saw other cars parked in the snowstorm.

I also saw the bright stars that seemed to be burning like eyes in the wind and snow.

"Hey, I'm going to call the police, I'm on Yunqi Road in the outer city, there are monsters in the wind and snow!

Trembling forward, Lao Wu vaguely felt the approach of a certain existence, but he really couldn't walk fast, because his legs were weakening, and the voice of the alarm even brought a crying tone.

Lao Wu looked at the wind and snow that was still rampant in front of him, and the sound of muffled thunder suddenly sounded in his ears.

Bang~

The phone fell from his hand.

"Sir, we have sent a rescue team, could you please elaborate on the current situation, sir?"

The inquiry voice of the operator of the Yecheng Public Security Department sounded from the microphone.

The owner of the phone has long since disappeared.

After about half an hour, the people from the Public Security Department arrived by empty boat, and there was never a discount in dealing with monsters.

"Keep an eye on your surroundings and be ready to fight!"

Heavily armed soldiers burst out of the empty boat, their masks' built-in thermal sensing systems scanning around for no suspicious lifeforms.

In charge of this operation is Chu Yun's current team.

Although no one wants to come out in this kind of ghost weather, who will let them be on duty today?

"Protect the scene, shield!"

The captain shouted, and several people in the team immediately took a mechanical cylinder from the cabin of the airship, and rushed into the cars in front of them under the escort of a whole combat team.

"Release the drone and expand the search and rescue range. ”

Another command was given, and several robots on all fours, about the height of the person's knees, immediately scattered in all directions.

"Alpha, can you still contact the helpers, is there any surveillance footage from the scene?"

Commanding his subordinates to search, the captain relied on the electronic brain to access the Yecheng core intelligent system and inquire about the situation at the scene.

"Morton, the second-level inspector of the Public Security Department, verified that the camera was damaged by an unknown force, failed to record the image, and could not contact the helper, and his mobile phone location is where you are. ”

Alpha's response was as cold and mechanical as ever, as if it were a snowstorm.

"Captain, come here, there's a situation!"

Chu Yun's voice came from the headset, paused the call with Alpha, and rushed forward in three steps and two steps.

The snow had cleared the road between the cars, and Morton stood beside the car, his eyes lingering on the windshield of the car for a moment, and then completely on the footprints in front of him.

Why are there footprints left in such a big snowstorm?

Because the guy who left this footprint stepped on the asphalt street, and this footprint was inevitably too big8)
