Chapter 383

By 3:00 p.m., the tourists finally ran out of patience“ I said before that the reinforcement car would arrive at 2:00 p.m., but it hasn't arrived yet! "

The customer service staff of the hotel came out again and again to explain that on the way, everyone felt that the temperature was getting lower and lower, and the sky outside was as dark as in the evening.

"Our hotel has done its best. The rescue car is really on the way. They will arrive at night at the latest. Just like the flight delay, we have encountered some special circumstances on the road, and we have no choice but to postpone it. "

A sound of noise, "still have to wait until the evening, I don't know if I can catch up at night!"

All the luggage was packed, and 200 tourists crowded into the lobby of the first floor of the hotel, even the corridor and elevator entrance were all packed.

I'm all in a hurry to go down the mountain, but I can't go now.

It was noisy for half an hour, and someone tried to rush out of the door, but when the door was pushed open, the strong wind and snow came whizzing, which made several strong men at the gate unable to open their eyes, their arms protecting their faces, and their bodies were constantly being swept back by the wind.

On both sides of the three meter high vase, banging the ground, sharp pieces were blown up by the wind and snow, the crowd screamed.

Qiao bao'er pulls Pei Yi from the chair beside him into his arms. The fragments of Ling Fei fly straight over and stick firmly on the wooden chair like a flying knife. The fragments are very sharp.

Pei Yi's face turned white with fright, and he didn't dare to move in Qiao bao'er's arms.

There were more than a dozen tourists who had been scratched by debris on the side of the gate. Their arms and faces were bleeding and they were crying for help in pain. The gate was closed in an emergency, which calmed down a little.

As we all know, the rash downhill now is undoubtedly tantamount to death. The hotel staff bandaged the injured tourists' wounds, but the bleeding is not serious, but now we calm down.

"In such weather conditions, we have to wait."

There is no expression on Qiao bao'er's face. She murmurs and pats Pei Yi's head. Her eyes are clear. Pei Yi looks at her calm eyes. Pei Yi doesn't know why she doesn't seem to be so afraid all of a sudden.

"Thank you."

Pei Haoran sincerely thanks her. Fortunately, Qiao bao'er reacts quickly, otherwise his son must be scratched by the vase fragments.

Qiao bao'er pinched Pei Yi's cold little face. "You should always keep alert when you are in an emergency. Only when you can protect yourself can you be able to protect others."

Pei Yi shyness should be a, "good."

Pei Haoran knows that Qiao bao'er's grandfather, general Gu, has been strict with her family education since she was a child.

"I'll go to Xia chuixue to find out the situation." Pei Haoran stood up and entrusted Pei Yi to Qiao bao'er. He was more at ease, "Lu Qinan, you go with me, lest Anta blow me out again."

Xia chuixue and Qiao Baoer have some contradictions. It's more convenient for Lu Qinan to ask about the situation.

Qiao bao'er and Zhu Xiaowei sit quietly in the corner of the original lobby and wait. Zhu is a little ashamed. She thinks that she is useless. After thinking about it, she is better at taking care of people's diet. "Qiao bao'er, I'll go to the restaurant and get more bread, so that I won't be short of food at night."

"Let's go to the kitchen first."

Qiao bao'er thinks it's better to walk around and take Pei Yi to the back kitchen of the hotel with Zhu Xiaowei.

Pei Yi puzzled, raised her small face to see her, "Auntie Jun, don't you like to eat those bread?"

With Lu Qinan's efforts, Qiao bao'er's pickiness has become infamous.

"No Joe is a little embarrassed.

Ordinary people can't go into the back kitchen of the hotel, but now the situation is chaotic and nobody cares so much. Qiao bao'er sneaks in and finds that there are no employees working in the huge kitchen, and the tableware is also placed in a mess and nobody tidies up.

"This hotel is really unreliable." Zhu Xiaowei couldn't help frowning.

Qiao bao'er's voice is calm, "they, the internal staff, know some news that our passengers don't know. They have no heart to go to work. Something must have happened."

"Will they run away early on their own?"

"It's hard to say that if things are bad, life is the most important thing."

When they just came out of the kitchen, they happened to see Lu Qinan and Xia chuixue chatting in a corner. They looked dignified.

Qiao bao'er walked over directly and heard Xia chuixue say, "Anta arranged for me. I'll leave here in ten minutes."

"How can you leave without a car?"

"In this situation, even with a car, it's difficult to evacuate safely."

With that, Xia chuixue lowered her voice, "Anta told me that the eight people who left early in the morning also lost contact and could not be contacted by satellite phone."

There are only three satellite phones in the hotel. The earliest maintenance team took one, and the eight people who drove away early this morning also took one. Now the hotel has only one satellite phone that can communicate with the outside world.

Qiao bao'er's step is very light. She suddenly walks to them two meters away. Her voice is very light and steady. She asks, "the maintenance team has lost contact with those people this morning. Can you leave safely?"

Xia chuixue heard her voice, raised her head and was stunned.

She decided to tell them frankly, "Anta said that it's easy to get lost by car in this kind of snowstorm. Many trees collapsed in snowstorm and caused roadblocks. The best and safest way to leave now is to take a cable car down the mountain. It's very fast. It's only 20 minutes to get to the town at the foot of the mountain."

Pei Haoran also suddenly realized that there is a cable car on the other side of the ski resort. The speed of the cable car is really the fastest, but in general, the cable car stops operation in windy and snowy weather, unless someone forces it to start.

Xia chuixue looked at them for a while and said, "if you want to go down the mountain as soon as possible, I can go to Anta and see if you can accommodate me."

Pei Haoran and Lu Qinan look at each other and are thinking, but Qiao Baoer takes the lead in saying, "we are waiting here."

Xia chuixue was a little surprised. Her refusal made her lips smile. "Now, if the weather continues to deteriorate, it will really affect human life. Qiao bao'er, you don't have to refuse because of me."

Qiao Baoer's expression is very calm, "the food and warm equipment in the hotel are enough for all of these people for at least half a month. I just don't think there's any need to take risks."

See her so calm attitude, Xia chuixue feel some sarcasm, "well, you choose to stay, I'll go down the mountain first."

Anta, the person in charge of the hotel, held a meeting in the manager's office. First, he asked the first group of people to leave by cable. If it is feasible, he can continue to send people down the mountain. But at present, we can't tell everyone about going down the mountain by cable, so as not to cause another noisy conflict.

"The cable car will automatically shut down in snowy weather. Your forced start will have a certain impact on the equipment. Can you really guarantee the safety?"

Qiao bao'er didn't want to take care of it, but when she saw Xia chuixue and the other four people excitedly going out from the back door of the hotel, she couldn't help questioning Anta.

Anta turned her face and glared at her impatiently. "When we get down to the town, we will arrange for you to continue to sit down. If you hinder us now, then we can't leave."

"We are senior members of this hotel, we have the priority to leave!" In the morning, the big bearded man yelled at her.

Several of them were worried that Qiao bao'er would run to the hotel lobby and tell the story of secretly leaving by cable.

Qiao Baoer was patient. "I just want to say that the mountain on that side of the ski resort is very steep. It's not safe for you to sit down on the cable against the wind and snow."

Anta dismissive of her statement, "our hotel's cable equipment is very safe, now the wind and snow is not very big, if you are interested, you can also put on your skiing equipment and directly slide down the mountain."

Qiao Baoer is very angry. Besides extreme athletes, who will ski in this weather.

Anta, wearing tight clothes and eye protectors, went into the snowstorm and the cable car continued to set out.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

Pei Haoran reached out and tried to close the back door. The snow was so cold that he even felt a stabbing pain in his lungs.

Lu Qinan held the door and put forward a suggestion, "I'll follow Qiao Baoer to see how they operate. If the cable is really feasible, we have another choice."

Although the food and warmth in the hotel is not a problem, but long stay here, mental pressure is also great.

Qiao Baoer wrapped himself up and went out with Lu Qinan in the snow.

It's about half an hour's walk from the hotel to the ski resort. Along the way, Qiao bao'er pays attention to the scenery around him. Except for the billboards that have been blown to pieces, there is nothing in front of her eyes.

It's dark, and the thick layers on the top of my head are pressing down, which is very depressing.

After a long walk, Qiao bao'er and Xia chuixue can already see that Anta and Xia chuixue have got on the cable car. The main switch of the cable is forced to start, and the sound of the engine comes. From a distance, we can see that the five people on the cable car look excited.

The cable car starts slowly.

Lu Qinan looked at them and said, "it's really feasible." It's much faster than using the car to go down the mountain, and it's not afraid to encounter roadblocks or get lost.

"Lu Qinan, what's over there?" Qiao Baoer suddenly reaches out his hand and drags him eagerly.

Lu Qinan didn't react. She looked in the direction of her fingers. "Nothing. The river is just frozen. What's strange?"

"No, on the river bank..."

Lu Qinan looked ahead and saw a piece of metal equipment on the right. "On the river bank, it's the hotel's power supply equipment..."

"I said to the left of the river bank!" Qiao Baoer's voice is anxious and shouts.

There was a roar in the sky. A towering tree on the left side of the river bank, which was about to fall, fell down in the strong wind and hit the power supply equipment on the right side.

Fire burning, power supply equipment explosion, shaking through the nearby snow mountain.

Lu Qinan was stunned by the fire in his eyes.

At the same moment, Xia chuixue on the other side of the cable car screamed in panic, "help, help --"

The continuous explosion of power supply equipment, the continuous spread of the sea of fire, but the wind and snow, frost let the fire gradually weakened, but the power was off.

At the same time of power failure, the cable car also stopped.

Xia chuixue's cable car was parked in mid air. They were so scared that they yelled, "find someone to help us!"

Originally, there were two workers in the machine room where the cable car was opened, but they were stunned by the explosion of power supply equipment on the other side of the river bank. When they recovered, they ran to the hotel in a hurry.

Because of the sudden power failure of the hotel, the family members of the workers must be flustered. At this moment, everyone was at a loss. The sky was dark, all the lights of the hotel were dark, and the heating in the room was stopped. It became a real isolated island.
