The lobby on the first floor of the hotel has been filled with players who cannot book a room.
At this time, the hotel owner had hurriedly closed the hotel door and locked it from the inside.
The glass door does not block the view, and the people crowded in the hall can still see what is going on outside.
I saw black clouds billowing in the sky, and the strong wind howling and beating on the door, almost breaking the poor folding glass door.
It was pitch dark outside, and even the street lights were no longer illuminated. The crowds in the lobby could only look out through the faint light emitted by the hotel's electric lights.
I don’t know whose cup was hanging on the balcony before they had time to collect it. It was flying on the street and finally gave a tree next to it a hard blow.
The trees next to the green belt were also tilted by the strong wind, as if they would be broken at any time; loess from nowhere was also flying in the air, blocking people's sight like fog.
The lock on the door was not very tight, and from time to time the strong wind would blow open a hole, and the wind would blow in from the neither wide nor narrow hole, and the people in the hall would shiver from the cold.
The cold winter has clearly passed, but the current temperature has suddenly become colder than the coldest period of winter. Many people who were not wearing thick clothes were shivering and looking at the flying loess and dark sky outside with horror.
.
Panic voices came from the crowd: "Is this a sandstorm? Or a typhoon?"
Another voice replied: "Who knows what's going on? Why is there such a strong wind in February... By the way, does this look like the end of the world to you in the movie?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
There was no other way, so the boss had to pull down the security door outside, and the hall became slightly warmer.
The people who were trembling slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
The strong wind was still beating hard against the security door, and from the inside it sounded like some monster was beating on the security door outside.
It sounds very scary.
But the situation now is much better than before, at least we won't see the horrible scene outside.
"This damn weather..." The boss was groping for his frozen hands from holding the door open while looking at the hall full of players. These people came in without paying.
Although these people don't live in rooms, they still need trading point protection fees if they occupy his hall, right?
He opened his mouth while thinking about it, but after seeing the haggard and worried looks on other people's faces, the slightly opened mouth closed again.
Forget it, they would just stay here for one night anyway, and they wouldn't suffer much loss.
The boss was thinking as he sat back behind the counter, listening uneasily to the wind outside the window. The wind had been blowing for several hours, but it showed no sign of stopping.
There will probably be strong winds and heavy rain tonight.
The boss was still thinking, when a woman holding a child suddenly came over, as if she had a request.
He became alert, this was not a shelter, and he was not a hypocritical philanthropist.
Seeing the woman getting closer, the boss spoke to her first: "If you want something, I don't have it here."
The woman's face looked a little embarrassed, but she still hurriedly explained: "No... I just want to ask you if you can turn off the lights tonight. We are a little scared..."
While she was still talking, a strong gust of wind hit the security door outside, scaring the players in the hall to tremble.
The child in the woman's arms also buried his head, seeming very scared.
The boss looked at the child in her arms. The child was about four or five years old, a little girl.
He paused for a few seconds and then said: "Okay, there are so many of you here, it's not safe to turn off the lights, just leave them on."
The woman thanked her quickly and returned to the crowd with her child.
At this time, Gu Mian and others were lying next to the window looking at the sky outside. Xiao Hong, who was originally stuck in the middle of the living room, had been violently installed on the sofa. This way, there would be no chance of getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and finding a person stuck in the living room.
The embarrassing situation of the female ghost.
"Doctor" the fat man looked very uneasy: "Shall we sleep with the lights on tonight?"
"It doesn't matter." Gu Mian said that she didn't care: "Anyway, I can fall asleep with or without turning on the light."
Chu Changge had no objection: "As long as you are happy."
From time to time, there was the sound of something hitting the ground outside the window. The visibility on the street was already very low, but the people by the window could still see something flying in the sky from time to time.
The sound of footsteps could be heard from time to time on Corridor Mountain.
The rooms on this floor were already occupied. Perhaps because the first floor was too crowded, some people came to the corridor above.
The fat man looked out through the peephole and saw several people laying bunks on the floor outside.
He didn't pay much attention to the few people laying pavements outside, but prayed that the weird weather would pass quickly.
They still have to choose a sunny day to set off.
In fact, even if they stay here, there won't be any financial pressure. Gu Mian got a thousand game coins in the last dungeon, and he got another thousand in compensation. What he got recently is enough for them to stay for twenty days.
But staying here is never a long-term solution.
The fat man fell asleep restlessly while praying.
But he didn't sleep for long - he felt like he didn't sleep for long.
The sound of something breaking resounded throughout the house.
The fat man, who had been sleeping restlessly, was immediately woken up. He suddenly jumped up from the bed: "What's going on? Something hit me!"
But no one responded to him.
And immediately, the fat man discovered something was wrong.
He had specifically begged Gu Mianyuan to sleep with the light on, but at this moment the room was completely dark, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. Not only the room, but also the direction of the living room was also pitch black; he couldn't see anything, but he couldn't hear anything.
No sound...
No! There is a sound!
The fat man twisted his head in the darkness and turned his head in the direction of the sound.
It was the sound of "rustling" rain. The rain sounded very intense and crackled on the window. The rain that had been planned for a day finally fell in the middle of the night. The force was so strong that the fat man almost suspected that it was hail falling outside.
Fortunately, the light switch in the hotel was very user-friendly and was coated with luminous powder. The fat man walked to the light in the dark.
He didn't think it was Gu Mian or Chu Changge who had nothing to do in the middle of the night and thoughtfully helped him turn off the lights, and it was even less likely that the female ghost sitting on the sofa was there.
But it doesn’t matter who turned it off now, let’s turn on the light first…
The fat man thought as he clicked the light switch.
But the expected light did not come, and the heavy rain outside was still pattering on the ground and windows.
The fat man pressed it several times again without giving up, but it still didn't work.
At the same time, he suddenly heard a shout from the corridor, followed by other people's conversations.
"There's a power outage in our house!"
"So are we."
"The power in the lobby is out!"
Hearing this, the fat man was stunned: "There's a power outage? Is it because of this damn weather?"
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of something being broken open, and then a dazzling white light filled his vision.
The fat man covered his eyes for a while to adjust. After a few seconds, he dared to squint and look at the light source.
It was Chu Changge. He was holding a flashlight. The light came from the flashlight. He seemed to have just woken up.
At this time, the fat man saw Gu Mian standing by the window.
I saw Gu Mian wearing a white coat, standing by the window looking outside.
After several seconds, he turned around with a strange expression on his face: "There's a power outage."
The fat man nodded: "You don't need to tell me, doctor, I've seen it too. There's a scream outside right now."
"No." Gu Mian shook her head with a strange expression: "I'm talking about a power outage in the whole city."
A city-wide blackout?
The fat man's scalp exploded: "Doctor, please don't scare me."
He rushed to the window while blowing his hair, and sure enough... there were usually several families with lights on even late at night, but now it was pitch dark outside and there was nothing.
There seemed to be a flicker of light in the distance.
The fat man stretched his neck and looked towards the light, and found that it was the supermarket set up by the game.
Sure enough... there was a power outage in the whole city...
No, is it a city-wide blackout... or a global blackout?
