Chapter 42 Footprints in the Snow

On February 27, there was heavy snow in Yecheng.

It is clear that spring is coming, and this snowfall is coming a little later than before.

But this momentum is not like a snow in the late winter, but more like a provocation of the cold winter towards spring before leaving.

Within just a few hours from the fall of the first snowflake, the temperature in the entire Yecheng dropped sharply to below zero, becoming a veritable ice and snow kingdom.

"This snow is so strange, ten years... No, I haven't encountered it since I was born!"

In the Meteorological Prediction Bureau of the Outer City of Yecheng, a "smart" man kept slapping the snowflakes on his shoulders. He just went to the corridor to close the windows, but in just a few seconds, his body was covered with ice and snow.

"The blizzard is also a very serious blizzard. Lao Wu, we'll be finished this time."

Someone stood at the window, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, glanced back at the data on the light screen on the desktop, and whispered helplessly.

There was a floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, but outside this window, there was no busy night view that should have in the outer city.

It’s not because I got off work early or other reasons, but because the wind and snow are too heavy, all the scenery outside has been covered up.

"What does it have to do with us? Didn't this blizzard be brought to us?"

A person called Lao Wu is constantly clicking on the light screen in front of him with a smart pen to view various weather data updated in real time.

"This blizzard has nothing to do with us. The problem is that we failed to predict it in time. This is the biggest problem. The news I only found out yesterday afternoon was just a prediction of a blizzard. It was not reported to the Yecheng government for them to pay attention. Look at the appearance outside now, how much losses do you think you will suffer without any preparation..."

"Hey, don't worry about the loss for now. Come and see this, something happened!"

Looking at the blue low temperature alarm and strong wind alarm on the light screen, Lao Wu's face looked very ugly.

"How could it be... minus 12 degrees Celsius! This level of low temperature will only occur for a day or two this winter, right?"

The geographical location of Yecheng determines that it cannot be too cold in winter. It is extremely rare to put coffee on the table, so how can I drink this situation? I thought about it and said,

"The government must be warned immediately so that they can prepare for the snow disaster as soon as possible... Lao Wu, what are you doing?"

As he was talking, Old Wu suddenly got up and left his seat and walked out.

"I have reported the situation. Please help me with the next thing. My wife just got off work, so I have to pick her up."

Due to the sudden blizzard, the entire Yecheng fell into chaos in a short period of time, and the bus was blocked on the road, so delays were inevitable.

He took the elevator all the way to the Meteorological Bureau garage, drove away, and took his wife directly to the house according to his plan.

"The headlights and taillights of the car are turned on and the autonomous driving mode is on. We are heading to the third street in the outer city of Yecheng..."

When the seat belt is tight, Lao Wu is not able to drive manually, but the wind and snow that keeps slapping on the windows in front of him is really a test of his driving skills. However, when the human-computer relationship is close to the same state as the large size and toilet paper, he obviously relies more on the latter.

But this still did not make his itinerary go smoothly.

Just after driving out two streets, the car had to stop.

"Mr. Wu, the vehicles ahead are congested and cannot move forward... The traffic light is shown as a normal peer status... The urging signal has been sent... No response."

The intelligent system loaded in the car loyally performs its duties, but the lights behind the vehicles that were vaguely reflected through the wind and snow in front of the car made Lao Wu's face look even more ugly.

"Damn it, I'm not leaving after the green light. Do they all treat themselves as Takumi? The intelligent system doesn't have to be driven manually... This is not Akimayama, haha!"

Obviously, Lao Wu should have watched a classic anime a hundred years ago when he was a child, and road rage will not decrease due to changes in the times. In fact, this situation has even expanded due to the production of aircraft.

"Crown, let the car ahead drive away!"

For these intelligent systems in daily life, the developers and controllers have always been Crown Group, so before they were renamed by the buyer, all intelligent systems were called Crown as the original name.

"Okay, the information is sent again, the information is...sigh~"

After the repeated prompt sounds, a harsh and busy sound came. Old Wu was stunned, and then looked at the display screen next to the steering wheel in a daze. There was already a snowflake on it.

Will there be problems with Crown Machinery’s products?

Old Wu doesn't care about this now. He only knows that the car has automatically turned into manual driving, and that he has to let the car in front leave.

For this reason, he opened the car door, fought against the wind and snow, and went forward to remind them in the most primitive way.

But when he walked through the snow that was only a few meters away and came to one of the cars, he saw a broken windshield and an empty seat.

Maybe the situation in front of him was too strange, or maybe the temperature around him was too low, making Lao Wu's thinking more stiff. After he noticed the strangeness in front of him, all he could do was wrap his clothes and then subconsciously look at the same stagnant vehicle next to him.

The current situation of the two cars is actually different.

The car on the left of Lao Wu was filled with snowflakes, while the car on the right, the steering wheel and the windshield with only half a piece left were already frozen.

In other words, the car on the right has been like this a long time ago, and the car on the left has an accident not long after...

All the windshields are broken, which means that the impact comes from the front.

So Old Wu looked forward blankly, and he saw the violent snow and other cars stagnant in the snow.

I also saw the bright star bodies burning like eyes in the wind and snow.

"Hey, I want to call the police. I am on Yunqi Road in the outer city, and there are monsters in the wind and snow! Save me... Save me!"

Walking forward tremblingly, Old Wu vaguely felt a certain existence approaching, but he really couldn't walk fast because his legs were weak, and even a crying voice was brought to the sound of the alarm.

Old Wu looked at the wind and snow that were still wandering in front of him, and the sound of muffled thunder suddenly sounded in his ears.

Smack ~

The cell phone fell from the hand.

"Sir, we have sent a rescue team. Please explain in detail the current situation...Sir?"

The inquiry sound of the operator from Yecheng Public Security Department sounded from the sound cylinder.

The owner of the phone has long disappeared.

After about half an hour, the public security department arrived in an air boat, and there was never any discount on dealing with monsters.

"Be careful around you and be ready to fight at any time!"

The fully armed soldiers rushed out of the airship, and the heat sensing system that came with the mask scanned around, without any suspicious living organisms.

The person responsible for this action is Chu Yun's current team.

Although no one wants to come out in this kind of ghost weather, who made them on duty today?

"Protect the scene, shield!"

The captain shouted, and immediately several people in the team took off a mechanical cylinder from the airship cabin and rushed into the cars ahead under the escort of a whole combat team. After a brief operation, a layer of blue energy shield expanded rapidly with the mechanical cylinder as the center, and the surrounding wind and snow were completely isolated.

"Releasing drones and expanding search and rescue scope."

Another order was issued, and several robots on all fours that were about to the human knee immediately spread out in all directions.

"Alpha, can you still contact the helper? Is there any surveillance video on site?"

Commanding his subordinates to search, the captain relied on his electronic brain to connect to Yecheng's core intelligent system and inquire about the situation on the scene.

"Moton, a second-level inspector of the Public Security Department, passed the verification... The camera was damaged by unknown forces, failed to record the image, and could not contact the person seeking help. His mobile phone was located in your location."

Alpha's response was as cold as ever, as if it were wind and snow.

"Captain, come here quickly, there is something wrong!"

Chu Yun's voice came from her headphones, pausing the call with Alpha, and rushed forward in three steps.

The snow on the road between the vehicles had been pushed away. Morton stood beside the vehicle, his eyes first stopped on the vehicle's windshield for a while, and then completely fell on the footprints in front of him.

Why are footprints remaining in such heavy wind and snow?
