Chapter 223: City-wide power outage

The lobby on the first floor of the hotel has been filled with players who can't book a house.

By this time, the innkeeper had hurriedly closed the door of the hotel and locked it from the inside.

The glass door could not block the view, and the people in the hall could still see the outside.

I saw the ink clouds rolling in the sky, and the wind howling and slapping on the door, almost smashing the poor glass door of the folding fan.

It was pitch black outside, even the street lights were no longer illuminated, and the crowd in the hall could only look out through the faint light from the hotel's electric lights.

I don't know whose cup was hanging on the balcony didn't have time to collect, but it was flying on the street at this time, and finally gave a hard blow to a tree next to it.

The trees beside the green belt were also tilted by the wind, as if they would break at any moment; I don't know where the loess came from is also flying one after another, obscuring people's vision like fog.

The lock on the door was not very tight, and every now and then a strong wind blew a hole in it, and from this opening that was neither wide nor narrow, the air poured in, and everyone in the hall shivered with cold.

The cold winter has obviously passed, but the current temperature has suddenly become colder than the coldest time of winter, and many people who are not wearing thick clothes shiver, looking at the flying loess and the dark sky outside with frightened weather.

A panicked voice came from the crowd: "Is this a sandstorm?" Or a typhoon? ”

Another voice replied, "The devil knows what's going on, how can there be such a strong wind in February...... Then again, do you think this looks like the end of the world in the movies? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

There was no way, the boss had to pull down the security door outside, and the hall was a little warmer.

The people who were trembling slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

The wind was still beating on the security door, and from the inside it sounded as if some monster was beating on the security door outside.

Sounds terrifying.

But now the situation is much better than just now, at least I won't see the terrifying scene outside.

"What the hell is ......," the boss fumbled with his frozen hand from pulling the door as he looked at the hall full of players who had come in without paying.

Although these people don't live in the room, how can they also need a trade point protection fee to occupy his hall?

He tried to open his mouth, but when he saw the haggard and worried looks on the faces of the others, the slightly open mouth closed again.

Forget it, anyway, they just stay here for one night, and they won't lose much.

The boss sat back at the counter and listened uneasily to the wind outside the window, which had been blowing for hours, but had no tendency to stop.

Presumably tonight will be a storm mixed with torrential rain.

The boss was still thinking about it, when a woman with a child in her arms suddenly came over, as if she had some request.

He was alerted that this was not a shelter, and that he was not a hypocritical philanthropist.

Seeing the woman getting closer and closer, the boss was the first to speak to her: "If you want something, I don't have it here." ”

The woman's face was a little embarrassed, but she hurriedly explained: "No...... I just wanted to ask if you can turn off the lights tonight, we're a little scared......"

As she spoke, a fierce gust of wind slammed into the security door outside, causing the players in the hall to shudder.

The child in the woman's arms also buried her head and seemed to be very frightened.

The boss looked at the child in her arms, who was about four or five years old and a little girl.

He paused for a few seconds before speaking: "Okay, there are so many of you here, it's not safe to turn off the lights, just turn it on." ”

The woman hurriedly thanked her, and then returned to the crowd with her child.

At this time, Gu Mian and the others were lying next to the window looking at the sky outside, Xiaohong, who was originally in the middle of the living room, had been violently installed on the sofa, so that there would be no embarrassing situation of getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and finding a female ghost in the living room.

The fat man looked very uneasy: "Shall we turn on the light and sleep tonight?" ”

"Whatever," Gu Mian said he didn't care: "Anyway, I can fall asleep if I can't turn on the light." ”

Chu Changge didn't have any opinions: "It's good that you guys are happy." ”

From time to time, there was the sound of something hitting the ground outside the window, and the visibility on the street was already very low, but a few people by the window could still see something flying in the sky by the wind from time to time.

Footsteps can also be heard from time to time in the corridor mountain.

The room on this floor was already full, probably because the first floor was too crowded, and someone came to the corridor on the upper floor.

The fat man looked out from the cat's eye and saw several people working on the floor outside.

He didn't pay much attention to the few people who were laying on the floor outside, but prayed that the strange weather would pass soon.

They also have to choose a sunny day to set off.

In fact, even if they live here, there will be no financial pressure, Gu Mian got a thousand game coins from the last copy, and he got another thousand in compensation, just these recent ones are enough for them to live for twenty days.

But staying here is not a long-term solution.

The fat man fell asleep restlessly in this prayer.

He didn't sleep long, thoughβ€”he didn't think he had slept long.

The sound of something shattering resounded throughout the room.

The fat man, who was already sleeping unsteadily, was immediately woken up, and he bounced up from the bed violently: "What's the matter? Something hit! ”

But no one responded to him.

And right away, the fat man noticed that something was wrong.

He specially begged Gu Mian Wansheng to sleep with the light on, but at this time the room was pitch black, it was dark when he couldn't see his fingers, not only in the house, but also in the direction of the living room; I can't see anything, I can't hear anything......

Wrong! There is a sound!

The fat man twisted his head in the darkness and turned his head in the direction where the sound came.

It was the sound of "rustling" rain, which sounded very intense, crackling on the window, and the rain that had been planned for a day finally fell in the middle of the night, and its force was so great that the fat man almost suspected that it was hailing outside.

Fortunately, the light switch in the hotel was very humane, and it was painted with luminous powder, and the fat man walked to the electric light in the dark.

He didn't think that Gu Mian or Chu Changge were idle in the middle of the night and helped him turn off the lights intimately, let alone the female ghost sitting on the sofa.

But it doesn't matter who turned it off now, let's turn on the lights first......

The fat man thought as he "snapped" the light switch.

But the expected light did not come, and the torrential rain outside still crackled against the ground and windows.

The fat man pressed it again several times without giving up, but it was still useless.

At the same time, he suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the hallway, followed by the sound of other people talking.

"There's a power outage in our house!"

"So do we."

"The electricity in the hall is gone!"

Hearing this, the fat man froze: "There's a power outage?" Could it be because of the weather? ”

At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of something being broken, and then a blinding white light filled his vision.

The fat man covered his eyes for a few moments, and after a few seconds, he dared to squint at the light source.

It was Chu Changge, he was holding a flashlight, and the light was coming from the flashlight, and he seemed to have just woken up.

At this time, the fat man saw Gu Mian standing by the window.

I saw Gu Mian wearing a white coat, standing next to the window and looking outside.

It took several seconds before he turned his head with a strange expression on his face: "The power is out." ”

The fat man nodded: "The doctor doesn't need you to say that I saw it too, it's screaming outside." ”

"No" Gu Mian shook his head with a strange expression: "I'm talking about a city-wide power outage." ”

A city-wide power outage?

The fat man's scalp exploded: "Doctor, don't scare me." ”

He blew his hair and threw himself by the window, and sure enough, he ...... On weekdays, even late at night, there are several families with the lights on, but now it is pitch black outside, and there is nothing.

There seemed to be a lost light in the distance.

The fat man craned his neck to look into the light and saw that it was the supermarket set up by the game.

Sure enough...... Power outages across the city......

No, it's a city-wide power outage...... Or a global blackout?
