Chapter 3: Fleeing?
If it was really this purple crystal necklace that brought Xu Ming, maybe he could take him back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Wang, Wang, Wang." The voice reached Xu Ming's ears, interrupting Xu Ming's contemplation, and he came back to his senses.
An eerie "woo" sound came from outside the library.
The people around them quieted down and walked curiously towards the window.
Xu Ming also followed curiously and walked to the window to look. The sound of "woo" is getting closer and closer.
Xu Ming saw a shocking scene, and a large cargo ship slowly floated in front of Xu Ming's eyes.
"Oh my God!" Sam stepped forward and exclaimed.
Xu Ming watched the cargo ship slowly float away in front of him.
The bottom of the cargo ship seemed to have hit something, and it couldn't move on and stopped.
"It's a Russian cargo ship," Laura said, pointing to the ship, "with Russian text on it." ”
"Maybe it's stopping at a nearby port." Sam replied.
"If this is really a ship floating from Russia, it can float so far, it means that the whole world has been covered by floods."
"Is the end of the world coming?" Xu Ming said with some concern.
Xu Ming can only pray that the disaster will not come again, otherwise he will stay in this world "forever".
At night, heavy snow fell in the sky, and the cold wind howled outside.
The stagnant water outside has long been frozen and solid.
Xu Ming closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He was covered in thick clothes, but he could still feel the cold in the air.
In this way, Xu Ming entered the sleep.
Today's ups and downs have left him physically and mentally exhausted.
……………
"Hey, friends, there's a lot of people out there, I'm walking the dog, there are hundreds, they're walking on the snow."
Xu Ming was woken up by a sound coming from the hall. Rubbing his eyes, he stood up.
Looking up, he saw a black homeless man holding his dog, and said anxiously.
After the black homeless man finished speaking, the whole hall instantly became commotion, and the people sleeping in the hall slowly woke up.
People who were near the window were all looking out of the window.
Xu Ming stood in the hall, not knowing what the person leaning out of the window saw.
I saw a man in a blue and red vest with POLICE printed on his chest, and a black man who looked like a police officer said towards the hall
"Okay, everyone, be quiet, when was the last person to receive a cell phone signal?"
"I just picked up my cousins in Memphis an hour ago, and they've already started evacuating south." Said a white woman in a black coat and a beanie.
"We should go! The water has been frozen strong enough to go. We should hurry away before the snow gets too deep. ”
"Everyone, wrap yourself up as fast as you can." Said a black man who looked like a police officer.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him were quickly packing up their things, and they all wanted to leave the library and yearn for a warmer place.
As for why everyone is in such a hurry to leave, they must be very clear.
As the snow gets heavier and heavier, it gets colder and colder. There is no heating equipment around, and if this continues, everyone will die sooner or later.
There were no supplies or food in the library.
In a day or two, they can still survive, and after a long time, so many people will starve to death without food.
And the shops outside are covered in snow and ice.
Without access to resources, staying in the library will only be empty.
Instead, get out of the library, give it a go, and maybe be saved.
Just when Xu Ming became a little overwhelmed, he was hesitating to follow them.
He heard Sam say, "We shouldn't have gone." ”
"Why not, Sam? Everybody's leaving," Jedi asked rhetorically, as he was packing up.
Xu Ming also wanted to hear what Sam had to say.
"When I was on the phone with my dad, he told me to stay inside."
"He said the storm would kill everyone in the storm." Sam said seriously.
"Then you should let everyone know," Laura said.
Xu Ming noticed that Laura's face was a little pale.
"I know," Sam replied.
After Sam finished speaking, he got up and walked to the door of the library, patted the black man who looked like a police officer on the shoulder and said to him, "I'm sorry, sir, you're making a mistake." ”
The black man, who was arranging the clothes for the child, looked back and said, "What? Listen, we're all scared...... But we have no choice. ”
After saying that, he was sorting out the child's clothes again. He thought Sam was afraid of the wind and snow outside and didn't want to go out.
"I didn't mean that!" Sam said with an anxious wave.
"Then get ready to leave!" The black man continued to sort the child's clothes.
"If these people go out, they'll freeze to death!" Sam's voice alarmed the crowd as they walked out.
People stopped for a moment to hear what was going on.
At the same time, we need to see who can convince others.
"Okay, what nonsense is all this?" The black cop stood up with his hands spread out and argued with Sam.
"It's not nonsense, okay? Look, the storm will get stronger and stronger, and people will freeze to death outside. ”
Watching the people around him stop and listen to him.
Sam hopes that more people will believe what he says and not go out.
"Where did you know that?" A middle-aged man in a hat asked.
"My dad was a meteorologist and he worked for the government." Sam replied quickly.
"What are we supposed to do?" The middle-aged man in the hat continued to ask.
"We should stay indoors to warm up and wait for the storm to pass." Sam said to the people around him.
Sam's words had just been finished.
The black police man said: "The snow is getting thicker and thicker every minute, and we are stuck here, with no food, no supplies..."
"It's risky, yes." Sam said
"It's an unnecessary risk!" The black police man shouted.
For black cops, as long as they go out and go north, there will be hope for life.
Instead of staying in the library and sitting back.
And here, as he said, there is no food, no supplies.
Staying here will only slowly wait for death.
That's why he was determined to go outside instead of listening to Sam.
"No, no, it's not." Sam retorted weakly.
Seeing that Sam was powerless to refute, the black cop shouted around, "We've wasted enough time discussing this, come on, guys, let's go." ”
"Listen, listen, just listen for a second." Sam stretched his hands to make someone stop.
And no one listened to Sam. Instead, he walked resolutely to the outside.
"Come, everybody," Sam's voice was mixed with the words of a black cop.
"The storm is intensifying, it's going to get more and more intense, and you won't survive," Sam said anxiously!
