Chapter 456
Tao Zheng hesitated for a moment before revealing his identity and raising his voice, "Boss, thank you for taking me in these past two days. I'm a team leader in the security team. I was out on patrol when I got caught in a snowstorm and lost contact with the other team members. I have something to do and need to leave now. I'll come to thank you next time I have a chance!"
In fact, he had already guessed the other party's identity, but the shop owner was still not sure.
Because most of the security team members at the base were wearing air-conditioned clothing, while Tao Zheng was wearing cold-proof clothing.
There is a clear difference in appearance between cold-proof clothing and air-conditioning clothing.
Now when he heard that the other party was the captain of a team in the security team, he was very happy.
The base's security team has great power and is in complete control of the base's security.
It would be of great benefit to know such a security team leader.
The shop owner's smile became even more flattering: "Okay, okay, you're welcome, you're welcome!"
Those who were just about to make a move stared at Tao Zheng in shock.
Tao Zheng's gaze swept across the room intimidatingly, and everyone fell silent.
He and Zhou Shuwan turned and left, thinking as they left that this was the only thing he could do at the moment, and he hoped that the store owner could be kept safe under the protection of the name of the security team.
He and Zhou Shuwan have already taken full precautions.
In addition to wearing air-conditioned clothing and cold-proof clothing to maintain body temperature, he also wore gloves with tungsten steel anti-slip spikes on his hands to prevent slipping. This is an essential equipment for members of the security team. Tao Zheng originally wanted to lend one to Zhou Shuwan and keep one for himself.
Unexpectedly, the other party took out a pair of gloves and found that he also had one.
In addition to non-slip gloves, the two people also each took a crampon, which allowed them to grip the ground in the opposite direction when moving on the ground, and better stabilize themselves in the extremely strong wind direction.
They discussed it for a long time and decided that in such a severe snowstorm, it would be best to find the nearest building and wait, but if they had to go out, they would still have to crawl on the ground, which was safer and easier to walk.
It is not easy to be blown around by the wind and lose balance.
Tao Zheng was in front and Zhou Shuwan was behind. After they lay down, there was actually a distance between them and the fixed rope between the building, so they needed to lengthen the buckle on the air-conditioning suit.
However, the heavy snow for a day and a night raised the ground by half a meter, so there was no need to extend it.
Two people fastened the lock to the rope above, and tied themselves together with nylon rope.
Before leaving, Zhou Shuwan handed Tao Zheng another whistle.
Once outside, we couldn't hear each other clearly and could only rely on whistles to convey our thoughts.
As soon as she went out, Zhou Shuwan noticed that the wind was stronger than yesterday. She held on to the rope tightly and could hardly stand, so she took the opportunity to lie down.
The newly fallen snow froze into ice soon after it hit the ground.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing air-conditioned and cold-proof clothes, so they were not afraid of hypothermia and crawled forward one after the other.
The howling wind was like countless sharp blades scraping against the body, bringing waves of dull, stinging pain.
Ice and snow particles hit the mask, making crackling sounds and blurring the vision.
Zhou Shuwan and Tao Zheng crawled forward, gripping the ground firmly with their crampons to prevent themselves from being blown away by the strong wind.
Although he was not afraid of the low temperature, walking against the wind was extremely tiring. After climbing for about ten minutes, every breath Zhou Shuwan took became very difficult. His lungs felt as if they were filled with lead, heavy and depressing.
Tao Zheng seemed to notice that she was slowing down, and he slowed down too.
Zhou Shuwan finally managed to catch up.
After walking about a few hundred meters, the rope tied around Tao Zheng's waist suddenly tightened, and he was blown over by a strong wind and slid several meters on the ice. Zhou Shuwan was also pulled to slide on the ice. Fortunately, both of them had experience and swung their crampons in the opposite direction, barely able to stabilize their bodies.
Tao Zheng's legs...
