Chapter 164 The Wound Tears
"No, we have to go out." Shen Wantang suddenly spoke, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"The power is out. We'll be short of oxygen in this sealed room, and in this cold weather, we'll suffer from hypothermia."
"Staying here will definitely cause problems, so let's get out of here quickly!"
Ji Qianqian nodded: "Sister-in-law, you're right! Let's all work together to dig open the doorway."
"Unless you all want to wait to die in here!"
People were unwilling to accept this; who wanted to wait to die? So everyone sprang into action.
They struggled to open the door, only to find that the outside was covered in snow, and it was hard snow!
The snow was compacted due to the hail.
"I have a metal plate here!" The owners took out metal plates from the kitchen and started shoveling snow.
After a while, the snow became harder and harder, almost like ice!
"No, this method won't work!" The bosses were panting, as were the people who had been digging the snow.
Shen Wantang looked at the pitch blackness, and many people took out their phones and turned on their flashlights.
"Everyone, please be frugal. Just turn on two. If the power runs out, you can continue using them," Shen Wantang instructed them. Otherwise, if the power runs out soon, they'll be left groping in the dark.
Everyone is in good agreement.
As dawn approached, everyone huddled on the table, shivering. Time ticked by, and soon it was morning.
Looking at the remaining third of the floor-to-ceiling windows, a bold idea came to mind.
"Do you think we could just break the French windows and climb up?" Ji Qianqian asked after thinking for a moment.
This method is actually feasible, but we don't know what the situation is outside, and after breaking the French windows, can the whole house still hold up?
This is an issue that needs to be considered.
Shen Wantang suddenly remembered her 100% lucky constitution, so she decided to break the French windows: "It should be possible, I'll give it a try."
She casually picked up a chair and threw it forcefully against the glass!
Ouch!
Oh no, it seems like the wound of grief has been reopened?!
No way? The wound that's been healing for so long just suddenly split open!
It's okay, let's raise it again!
The chair smashed the French windows, but they didn't shatter completely.
"We'll have to use ranged attacks next, right? Otherwise, the falling glass will hit you." The bosses stepped forward and gestured for them to move away from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Then they started throwing chairs onto the glass!
The glass shattered and fell to the ground, leaving the entire floor covered in broken glass!
"Everyone, please be careful when you come over!"
The bosses touched the snow outside and found it was hard.
So they started digging! They wanted to dig out a staircase so they could climb up and see what was going on outside.
They have all been trapped here for a day and a night, and no one outside has come to rescue them.
Moreover, the signal was blocked by the heavy snow, so it was impossible to make calls, and calls for help were constantly busy.
It looks like a lot of people are trapped in the heavy snow.
The crowd watched with excitement as the bosses dug out a path resembling a staircase, except that this staircase was straight and slippery.
One after another, the bosses tried to climb up, but none of them succeeded.
Shen Wantang sat in the chair looking at them, her lips were a little pale, and it was unclear whether there was any blood on her back.
Ji Qianqian noticed something was wrong with her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, I just accidentally pulled it too hard. I'll be fine after a rest." Shen Wantang shook her head slightly, indicating that it shouldn't be anything serious.
"What? What should we do?" Ji Qianqian was even more anxious now. She was trapped here and couldn't get out. She wanted to call for help but there was no signal.
It's truly a hopeless situation.
"Wow!!!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the crowd, and when they looked up, they saw that one of the bosses had climbed up!
He looked out at the icy world, but all he could see was snow. The snow was so thick! He couldn't see anything all night!
This could be considered a snow disaster!
"What's the situation up there? My sister-in-law is injured and needs to go to the hospital!" Ji Qianqian shouted anxiously.
"Who's injured?" Everyone was puzzled. They had been together the whole time, and no one had seen anyone get hurt.
Why is there suddenly an injured person?
"My sister-in-law got injured when we went out to play, but she recovered very well. Just now, when she smashed the French window, she accidentally aggravated her wound!" Ji Qianqian said anxiously.
Shen Wantang was a little tired. She spoke slowly and gently, "It's alright, let's see how to get out first!"
The boss who climbed up nodded and then turned to walk outside. As he walked, the snow under his feet began to soften.
He wanted to find some tools to rescue the people, but gradually the snow had already reached his waist. If he continued to walk forward, he would likely be buried by the heavy snow.
Then he went back: "There's nothing outside, just thick snow. Why don't you come out first?"
"Moreover, the snow outside was soft and very thick, so I didn't dare to go any further."
People expressed their understanding, and everyone felt that they should go up first, since there was strength in numbers, and they could figure out another way later.
After half an hour, everyone finally made it up. They were now standing at a height of about the second floor.
This amount of snow could easily bury a person alive.
At this moment, Shen Wantang felt very cold, and her back was wet, which meant she was bleeding.
"Where is the nearest hospital?" Shen Wantang asked the shopkeeper, as she needed to go to the hospital to treat her wound.
"Just keep going straight for about 2 kilometers and you'll get there. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Although his milk tea shop was destroyed, the owner's heart remained warm.
Shen Wantang nodded: "Yes, I need to go to the hospital urgently now, so I won't be with you. Goodbye."
They wanted to go to the police for help and inquire about their compensation.
"Okay, you three girls must be careful. It's too late here, and hardly anyone goes out."
"Thank you, brother, thank you for taking care of us."
Shen Wantang said to Ji Qianqian, "Let's go, we still need to go to the hospital."
Ji Qianqian nodded, feeling incredibly guilty. If she hadn't been so playful, her sister-in-law wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
"Wantang, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?" Jiang Wan frowned. Why did she have to go to the hospital when she seemed perfectly fine?
Could he be faking illness?
"No one is bullying me, I just feel a little unwell, I should probably get checked out." Shen Wantang shook her head. With these righteous bosses around, there was no way anyone would bully her.
