Chapter 505: Rescue in the Blizzard (1)
As soon as Jie Zichuan and Wang Kai stepped out of the house, the instant rush of wind and snow made them acutely feel the malice of nature.
The swirling snow almost completely obscured their vision.
In this blizzard, even the houses very close to them appeared as only vague outlines.
This alone showed how exaggeratedly large the blizzard had become.
“One wrong move, and people could be lost.” This sentence was absolutely not an exaggeration.
To prevent such a thing from happening, before leaving, Jie Zichuan specifically found a rope.
He tied one end to his wrist and the other to Wang Kai’s.
This way, if either of them fell too far behind or took a wrong turn, the rope tied to their wrists would alert them immediately.
This was a valuable lesson accumulated by the people of their northern tribes, who lived year-round in the wind and snow.
With one step, half of his calf sank into the accumulated snow.
Keep in mind, the snow outside had just been cleared yesterday!
Yet, after just half a night of the blizzard, the snow had piled up like this.
The snowfall was simply too exaggerated.
Gritting their teeth, the two men tightened their fur coats and trudged forward against the wind and snow.
After walking for a while, Wang Kai, whose face was already pale, tried to say something.
But the moment he opened his mouth, the swirling snow poured directly into his mouth.
The sensation was like being scraped by knives, making his throat ache terribly, and he couldn’t stop coughing violently.
Jie Zichuan, who had walked ahead a bit further, felt the rope on his wrist tighten and immediately looked back.
He just happened to see Wang Kai coughing violently in the wind and snow.
Seeing this, Jie Zichuan lowered his head and raised one hand to shield himself.
This action was to prevent the wind and snow from directly entering his mouth when he spoke.
“Wang Kai! Are you alright?!”
His throat seemed to be frozen stiff, leaving Wang Kai speechless for a moment.
He could only wave his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was fine.
After quite a while, he finally mimicked Jie Zichuan’s posture and spoke loudly.
“I’m fine, but the wind and snow are too heavy! I can’t even see the road! Where are we supposed to look?!”
If they had to search the entire Mirror City, that would be truly deadly.
After all, Mirror City was the largest city in Myriad World Civilization!
Hearing this, Jie Zichuan quickly shouted back.
“Don’t worry! I heard the sound coming from the north earlier! We’re heading north!”
Wang Kai felt a bit uncertain hearing this.
“The sound of the wind and snow is so loud, and you can still tell where the sound came from?!”
“I’m used to it!”
Jie Zichuan replied loudly again.
“In the bitter cold regions, blizzards often rage. If we couldn’t hear anything when the wind and snow blew, we’d be dead!”
Jie Zichuan’s words were undoubtedly highly credible.
Wang Kai, at least, believed him.
Both of them were quite familiar with the roads and terrain of Mirror City.
With the general direction confirmed, even if they couldn’t see the path clearly, they could still continue to move forward.
Jie Zichuan’s attention quickly shifted to searching for the collapsed building.
As he searched, his mind was constantly pondering.
“Based on the volume of that sound earlier, it shouldn’t be too far from here.”
With this thought, Jie Zichuan pushed against the wind and snow, and after walking a bit further north, a faint cry for help, mixed with the howling of the wind and snow, entered his ears.
“Someone’s shouting for help!”
Jie Zichuan turned and yelled to Wang Kai.
Wang Kai, hearing this, had a completely bewildered expression.
“I didn’t hear anything!”
After shouting, a thought flashed in Wang Kai’s eyes.
He might not have the ability to distinguish sounds in the wind and snow, but he was more familiar with Mirror City’s terrain than Jie Zichuan!
After His Majesty the Emperor issued the decree, the entire Mirror City, except for the Medical Department and nursing homes and other related departments, should have ceased operations.
The Medical Department and nursing homes were located to the south.
But Jie Zichuan just said he heard cries for help.
Assuming Jie Zichuan’s judgment was correct, in the current situation, the only inhabited buildings would be residential ones.
And there was only one residential area to the north!
It wasn’t far from their current location.
Upon realizing this, Wang Kai immediately had a plan.
He shouted loudly.
“Jie Zichuan, I know where it is! Follow me!”
As he shouted, Wang Kai pushed through the wind and snow and moved to the front.
Jie Zichuan naturally followed without hesitation.
After walking a short distance, the cries for help began to become increasingly distinct.
Gradually, even Wang Kai himself could hear them.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but admire Jie Zichuan’s ears.
Quickly turning a corner and crossing the street in front of them, which was piled high with snow, a collapsed building immediately came into their sight!
Looking at the position of the collapsed building, it was clear that when one building collapsed, it hit the adjacent one, causing that one to collapse as well.
The residential buildings in Luo Ji’s Mirror City were mostly typical three-story houses.
Each housed multiple families.
After two buildings collapsed, many people inside were buried beneath them.
In the surrounding buildings, many enthusiastic residents, having noticed the commotion outside, rushed out to help rescue people.
At the same time, they shouted for help, trying to call for assistance.
The arrival of Jie Zichuan and Wang Kai undoubtedly brought expressions of joy to their faces.
“Come quickly and help! Many people are trapped underneath!”
The two quickly moved forward.
Looking at the ruins piled up like a small mountain after the two residential buildings collapsed, their hearts both felt heavy.
“With so few of us, it’s too difficult to rescue people without adequate tools!”
Jie Zichuan shouted loudly.
Those few enthusiastic residents clearly understood this too, and their faces subsequently showed a hint of indignation.
“The people in the other buildings aren’t willing to come out and help. I’ll go try to call them again!”
Wang Kai’s face was silent upon hearing this.
Coming out to rescue people in such a blizzard was too dangerous.
To put it bluntly, them coming out to rescue people was kindness, and staying at home was their right.
Having been with Luo Ji for a long time, Wang Kai obviously understood this principle.
But these people definitely had to be rescued.
With this thought, Wang Kai immediately spoke again.
“This place isn’t far from the patrol team. You guys watch here, I’ll go get reinforcements! And bring some rescue tools!”
