Secondly, today's wind is stronger than they imagined. If there were buildings on both sides, they could slightly block the downwind force.
So the two men continued to crawl along the wall with difficulty.
The howling wind carried fragments of ice and snow and mercilessly lashed at Zhou Shuwan and Tao Zheng.
Visibility was extremely low, and it seemed as if there was only a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth, with the sharp sound of the whistling wind and snow filling my ears.
Zhou Shuwan and Tao Zheng crawled along the alley with difficulty. The snow had already reached above their knees, and every step was extremely strenuous.
Zhou Shuwan checked the rope between the two of them from time to time to make sure it was not cut by the sharp ice spikes.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise above my head, like the sound of something breaking.
Zhou Shuwan's heart tightened, and before she could react, a large piece of snow wrapped in ice fell down and hit her on the back.
"Ugh!" Zhou Shuwan groaned, his body trembled violently, and his vision went black.
Tao Zheng, who was walking in front, could not feel the movement behind him, but he felt the rope behind him suddenly tighten. He stopped immediately, his heart sinking, and hurriedly turned around and asked loudly: "Sister-in-law, how are you?"
The wind and snow were so strong that the sound was torn into pieces.
There was no movement behind, so it was very likely that the other party couldn't hear it.
Tao Zheng blew the whistle a few times, but only an extremely weak whistle came out.
He immediately turned around and crawled towards Zhou Shuwan.
The distance between the two of them was not far, only about one meter.
But the visibility was too low, and all I could see at a distance of one meter was a sea of white.
When Tao Zheng got close to her, he saw the large pieces of snow falling beside her, and his heart sank.
Zhou Shuwan had recovered. The blow just now almost made her lose consciousness.
But she had tried to move her body to confirm that her bones were not injured, she was just a little dazed from the impact.
She waved her hands to indicate that she was fine.
"Hold on!" Tao Zheng's voice came from the wind and snow, with a hint of anxiety.
He had no better idea. The two of them had already persisted this far, so he could only continue to persevere.
Zhou Shuwan gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his back, and crawled forward step by step.
With two injured people, the speed must be slower than before.
The wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger, and visibility was getting lower and lower. Zhou Shuwan felt like he was struggling in a huge white cage, with no end in sight and no direction to find.
But even more despair lay ahead. When they were almost at the end of the alley, they found that the alley was completely blocked by collapsed buildings. Huge blocks of concrete and twisted steel bars lay before them, making it impossible to pass through.
Zhou Shuwan's heart sank. The original plan was no longer feasible and he needed to find another way.
Tao Zheng frowned, looked at the blocked alley, then looked at Zhou Shuwan who was almost buried in the wind and snow. He made a quick decision, blew the whistle, and signaled to return.
The two had no choice but to return and look for a new route.
The danger was even greater. Zhou Shuwan's face was as gloomy as water. The pain in her back made her feel numb, but she still carefully identified the route.
The wind and snow were still raging, and she squinted her eyes, trying to identify the buildings around her.
Suddenly, she had an idea. The red building next to her looked familiar.
She thought about it carefully and finally remembered that this building was a maintenance department where Zhou Jianghai once worked!
She vaguely remembered that there was an underground passage under the maintenance department. This was a maintenance passage that existed before the base was built. It was not big and could only accommodate two people. Later, after the base was built, heating pipes were laid directly in this passage, which could lead directly to the factory.
This is also the reason why other communities cannot guarantee heating, but the factory can provide heating 24 hours a day.
The heating pipes are installed underground and are direct channels, so they are fast and consume less heat.
