Chapter 1658, Winter City in the Snow (2)
"Dong dong dong."
As the knock on the door rang, in the office, Hill, who was looking through the report, said without raising his head...
"Come in."
The next second, the door was pushed open and a soldier walked in quickly.
"Sir, the director of the Meteorological Bureau is here."
"Invite him in and make him a cup of hot tea."
"yes."
Various departments basically have branches and bureaus in different cities, and Winter City is no exception. Even for a bitter cold place with unpredictable weather, the existence of the Meteorological Bureau is crucial to them.
"Zhazhaer, I have met you, sir."
At this moment, a man who looked to be in his fifties walked in, and he was also the director of their Winter City Meteorological Bureau.
"Director, please sit down."
As she spoke, Hill pointed to the chair beside her. After the soldiers on the side brought hot tea, she asked slowly...
"The director's visit this time should have yielded results?"
Hearing this, Chazhar nodded, and at the same time his entire face became obviously solemn.
"Yes, according to the latest results, a snowstorm is probably coming. In the next few days, the snow will get heavier and heavier."
Hill's face darkened slightly after receiving such an answer.
Although blizzards are not uncommon in bitterly cold places every winter, this does not mean that blizzards are less harmful to them.
When the blizzard blows, all projects will naturally be stopped.
At the same time, because their Winter City is still under reconstruction, not only is the transportation inconvenient, but some of its equipment is not as good as the Central Plains cities behind it.
Therefore, when facing a snowstorm, their pressure is undoubtedly greater.
After understanding the situation, I naturally had to give orders quickly...
"Issue a blizzard warning to temporarily stop the ongoing work of the construction team and deal with all the matters that need to be dealt with quickly."
Having said this, Hill's voice paused for a moment, and then spoke again...
"The amount of food reserves must be confirmed again, as well as the number of heating equipment, all must be confirmed clearly."
There is no doubt that this side will be very busy in the next few days.
The meteorological detection of the Meteorological Bureau showed considerable accuracy. After a week, the snow in the sky became heavier and heavier, and a blizzard completely swept over.
In a simple house, Zhang Runtu and several other roommates were wrapped in thick quilts and huddled in front of the stove, drinking hot soup and keeping warm.
Strong winds blew outside the house, carrying flying snow and rattling the windows.
Although his roommates who were born in the north had told him that they had reinforced the windows so that they would not be shattered by the snowstorm, Zhang Runtu still couldn't help but feel worried.
When I looked out the window, it was completely white and I couldn't see anything.
"How long will this snowstorm last?"
"If it's fast, it'll be ten days and a half. If it's slow, it'll be a month or two. It's not unheard of."
The roommate who said this had a completely accustomed tone.
After all, for their northern tribes, blizzards are a frequent visitor every winter.
So every time at this time, they go from house to house, always stocking up enough food for them to survive the whole winter. If the snowstorm keeps falling, they can survive the whole winter safely even without leaving home.
But Zhang Runtu, as an out-and-out Central Plains man, has never experienced such a fatal thing!
As soon as I heard this, I felt as if I had seen a ghost.
Originally, he was supposed to stay here for a week before returning, but a sudden snowstorm warning stopped him here.
At that time, Zhang Runtu fought for it a little bit.
But according to Brother Li, if they were halfway through and a blizzard suddenly started blowing, they would probably die on the way.
When Zhang Runtu heard this, he naturally stopped thinking on the spot.
At this moment, looking at the snowstorm outside the window, I felt a little bit lucky in my heart.
But at the same time, it would be really fatal to let him stay in this ice and snow for a month or two...
For a moment, my mood was very complicated.
"Runtu, what are you thinking about?"
After hearing this, Zhang Runtu suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head.
"No, it's nothing."
While he was talking, his roommate sitting opposite brought him a bowl of hot soup.
"It's snowing heavily now, so I have nothing to do. Tell us about things in the south."
Zhang Runtu was not unhappy about this. After all, these roommates had taken good care of him during the past two weeks.
However, when it comes to things in the south, Zhang Runtu really doesn't know where to start, so he simply asks...
"What do you want to hear?"
"whatever."
"Yes, anything is fine!"
As people from the northern tribes, although they have lived in Beishan City and Baihe City, strictly speaking, these two cities belong to the Central Plains, but they do not belong to the south. Therefore, they really do not know Wan
What is the civilized south like?
In this way, Zhang Runtu just said it casually.
As an employee of a building materials company, he travels frequently to various cities and regions, so to a certain extent, Zhang Runtu can be considered well-informed.
The goblin city with advanced technology, the dwarf city placed on the mountain walls and hills, the elven city that coexists with nature and has beautiful scenery, and the Mirror City, which is the capital of their civilization in all realms.
Although in this era of increasingly convenient transportation, trains are basically connected between various cities. If you really want to go, anyone can go. It is no longer a capital to show off, but after Zhang Runtu said it smoothly,
The whole person was still very happy, and even the severe cold around him was gradually forgotten by him.
At the same time, all the roommates were also fascinated by what they heard, and one of them even asked repeatedly...
"Runtu Runtu, do you think that ancient elf tree is really that tall?"
"Of course."
While speaking, Zhang Runtu made some neat gestures.
"Let me tell you, that ancient elf tree, the top part of the tree is almost growing into the clouds! Do you think it is tall?"
Several roommates imagined it for a moment, and then nodded their heads.
"There is also the elf dragon's lair, just above the ancient elf tree. Let me tell you, that elf dragon is so majestic. The one with the big head is as big as a hill..."
Having said this, Zhang Runtu took a sip of hot soup, took a breath, and then spoke again...
"Since we talked about the Elf Dragon, have you heard of the Sunset March?"
Several roommates shook their heads in unison, and Zhang Runtu couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.
"In that battle, our Emperor personally rode an elf dragon to expedition to the Sunset Mountains. At that time..."
