Chapter 385: Contact Jun Zhi牧 Immediately
certain of that.Zhu Xiaowei saw her so sure, the dead girl, before she had worked hard to suspect her big boss. Tsk tsk...she must have been taken care of by Jun Zhi Mu's beauty.However, Zhu Xiaowei a...Towering high above, the five-star hotel stood atop the mountain, majestic and grand. Yet, plunged into darkness by a power outage, it loomed ominous and foreboding against the backdrop of howling wind and swirling snow.
Qiao Bao'er and her companions could hear a cacophony of noise even before they reached the hotel—shouting, commotion, crying, and yelling.
They entered through the back door of the hotel, and it was freezing inside; they were shivering from the cold.
The crowd was dense and dim.
Qiao Bao'er was desperately searching for Zhu Xiaowei and their whereabouts, while those around her were panicked, shouting and screaming, running around in chaos, trampling on each other, and cursing.
Luckily Pei Haoran hadn't walked far from the back door of the hotel. Seeing them return, he immediately stepped forward and said, "We seemed to have heard an explosion just now, and then the power suddenly went out. Everyone is in a panic now. What happened"
Some hotel staff were also unclear about what had happened. They said they went to start the backup power, but after half an hour, it still wasn't working.
Zhu Xiaowei hugged Pei Yi and huddled in the corner, seeking warmth from each other. The heating was out, and they weren't wearing any special cold-weather clothing. Now, their lips were turning purple from the cold.
"Let's go back to the hotel suite and get some more blankets to stay warm."
Qiao Bao'er didn't explain much about the power outage. She took Zhu Xiaowei and Pei Yi by the hand and walked towards the stairs. Without electricity, even if it was a high floor, they could only walk up the stairs.
Lu Qinan and Xia Chuixue followed closely behind and immediately told Pei Haoran upon seeing him, "The wind and snow knocked down a large tree, which landed directly on the power supply equipment, causing an explosion. The backup power is also unusable. Don't go outside, the temperature is very low, so find as many warm things as possible right now."
Pei Haoran's face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he immediately followed up the stairs. "Qiao Baoer pulled Zhu Xiaowei and Pei Yi into the suite to get the quilt…"
Xia Chui Xue originally lived in a suite on another floor, but now that crisis struck and she met acquaintances like Lu Qi Nan, she dared not act alone anymore. She followed them all the way.
"How do I open the door to a hotel suite with an electronic lock"
When Lu Qinan climbed to the 8th floor of the hotel, he remembered that many of the hotel's facilities were intelligent. This meant that as soon as the power went out, everything would be unusable.
Pei Haoran was also very anxious. Originally, according to the plan, even if the rescuers from downstairs couldn't arrive in time, with the hotel's heating and food supply, they could at least maintain for half a month without panicking.
The power suddenly went out, everything was messed up.
As Xia Chui Xue climbed the stairs to the 12th floor with them, she heard a loud, crashing sound...
Because the wind and snow outside were heavy, dark clouds constantly surged, casting the entire sky in gloom with no sun or moon visible. It was eerie and terrifying. Even on this 12th floor corridor, it was pitch black, so dark that one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
As they drew closer, they could finally see.
Zhu Xiaowei illuminated the apartment door with the weak beam of her phone's flashlight, while beside her, Qiao Baoer shed her bulky winter clothes and picked up an emergency fire axe, hammering down relentlessly on the electronic lock.
She was also tired of hacking and dropped the sharp iron hammer. The door was almost loose.
She took three steps back and kicked the electronic door open.
Xia Chuixue was dumbfounded.
Qiao Bao'er panted heavily, sweat beading on her forehead. She pointed inside the room, "Find all the blankets. There's a fully charged power bank in my bag, and a lighter…"
Lu Qinan and the others also ran over quickly. Pei Haoran hugged Pei Yin Na, whose little body was frozen stiff, and immediately wrapped him tightly in a down quilt. Lu Qinan also used his mobile phone flashlight to search the room for anything usable.
As for Qiao Baier smashing the electronic door of someone else's hotel, it was nothing unusual for them.
In such a harsh environment, decisive action is needed to survive, rather than the fragility of women.
Thank you.
Xia Chui Xue walked to Qiao Bao'er's side and suddenly said to her, "Just now on the cable car, I really thank you and Lu Qinan for not leaving, you saved us."
< Qiao Bao'er was rummaging through a drawer looking for a lighter, and she turned her head to look at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "You don't have to thank me." >
It's not that I'm great, it's just that seeing this and not saving you would make me feel terrible. Who you are doesn't matter to me.
Xia Chui Xue watched her busy searching for something, and suddenly a complex emotion arose in her heart.
If it were her, she might have actually just run away.
Saving people is not an obligation. In such terrible blizzards, everyone should just focus on staying safe.
"Even wrapped in blankets, it wasn't warm enough."
Pei Haoran touched Pei Yi's cold body, very worried. "If we keep dragging this out, we won't make it to three hours. The weak elderly and children in the hotel will definitely get a high fever and become ill."
Even the rescue workers downhill wouldn't have expected the hotel to suddenly lose power, which made the situation much more urgent.
Time passes by every second, and it can take a life anytime.
Lu Qinan's expression was also very anxious and angry, "What kind of efficiency does this hotel have That head person, Anta, is simply brainless. Why does it take so long to find someone to rescue him from the mountain!"
Pei Haoran suddenly thought of something, grabbing Lu Qinan's arm and asking urgently, "Are there still satellite phones at the hotel now"
"Is the satellite phone at Anta's"
“We can contact Junzhi Mu via satellite phone. Even if there's a blizzard, the people under Mu are efficient and will definitely send someone over quickly…”
When Pei Haoran said this, his gaze subconsciously shifted to Qiao Bao'er.
Joe Bao'er had no expression on her face, with some contemplation in her eyes.
Lu Qinan's handsome face contorted with anger as he angrily spat, "Useless!"
"There's no way it wouldn't work. Junzhimu knows we're on vacation here, Qiao Baor is here too. He might have known beforehand that the weather would worsen here. As long as we tell him now about the sudden power outage, he absolutely must come over immediately..."
Lu Qinan's expression was depressed and complex, his teeth gritted as he said, "I'm saying, it's useless, because the last satellite phone was lost by An Ta!"
I just saw that idiot Anta drop the last satellite phone he had into a snowy white expanse.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
This heavy silence hangs in the air, a suffocating pressure on my chest.
Actually, they could have contacted Junzhi 牧 from the beginning. But none of them expected the power outage; without lights and heating, they wouldn't last long.
"Auntie, are Uncle coming"
Pei Yi's little face was frozen stiff, pale and cold. He huddled under the covers, but he still felt weak. He suddenly reached out with his icy small hand and grabbed Qiao Baoer's wrist, clutching it tightly as if the little guy was scared.
Jo Bao'er found a red wool hat in her closet. She looked at him, her eyes clear and resolute in the dim space, and whispered honestly, "I don't know."
Saying that, she put the hat on Pei Yi's small head. The woolen hat was a bit big, covering half of his little face, but at least it kept him warm.he gate of the Pei family, Mrs. Pei was leading Pei Yi out, they watched in astonishment as Qiao Baoer punched Pei Haoran and heard their argument.Pei Yi's little face was frightened, as if she were s...
