rebirth of cataclysm

"No more, no more, we only have a little bit, just enough for us to have a meal now." Duan Jinpeng waved his hand through the car window.

Duan Jinpeng had put the little food under the seat, as if he was afraid that it would be snatched away if he didn't hide it.

Facing the seven or eight men and women outside the car, Hu Mingchen no longer acted generously as a good guy. Because he knew that the little food and water they had were simply not enough to share with so many people. What's more, the two groups of people who came in front,

The reason is that for the sake of children and the elderly, Hu Mingchen can still have the psychological excuse of respecting the old and loving the young, but now those people outside the car window are all adults, and Hu Mingchen is not so great that he would sacrifice his life to feed the hawks.

Those people kept pestering for a long time, but when they saw that Hu Mingchen and Duan Jinpeng refused to let go, they left one by one in annoyance.

In fact, there are so many traffic jams on this road, and many people have brought something to eat. After all, most people are going home to celebrate the New Year, and they will bring something with them. If everyone squeezes in, it will be a problem for a day and a half.

Not big yet.

The biggest problem now is that we don’t know how long the road will be closed, and when the road will be opened, it is closely related to the bad weather. At the same time, there are no towns and shops nearby, and those who have not brought food cannot find it even if they have money.

Buy somewhere.

"Master Hu, it's not that I don't give it to them, it's that we don't have enough, and we don't know when this road will be opened..." After those people left, Duan Jinpeng was worried that Hu Mingchen would be unhappy, so Duan Jinpeng explained to Hu Mingchen

.

"I know that what you did was right. If you can't protect yourself, how can you protect others? Fortunately, you were foresight and prepared some in the car. Otherwise, it would be our turn to beg others."

Not only did Hu Mingchen not blame Duan Jinpeng, he even praised him.

Duan Jinpeng blushed when he received Hu Mingchen's praise, and he was also embarrassed in his excitement.

Duan Jinpeng did not foresee the traffic jam on the highway at all. It was just because he often drove on business trips and sometimes did not have time to go to restaurants. To facilitate himself, he stored some food and drink. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

That’s all.

"Ouch, I was so confused that I didn't even think of calling Mr. Hu to inform him of our situation. I'll tell him now." Suddenly Duan Jinpeng remembered that he had to tell Hu Jianqiang about the situation when he was stuck on the road.

.

"Forget it, let me call him and tell them not to worry. At this time, there is nothing he can do to help us." Hu Mingchen patted Duan Jinpeng's seat and then took out his mobile phone.

.

However, before Hu Mingchen's call was dialed, his third uncle Hu Jianqiang's call came first.

"Where are you, Xiaochen? You should be home soon, right?" Hu Jianqiang's voice on the phone was full of enthusiasm.

"Uncle Third, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while, I'm stuck on the highway." Hu Mingchen said calmly.

"Are you blocked on the highway? Was there an accident and there was a traffic jam? Are you okay?" Hu Jianqiang asked with concern.

"Of course I'm fine, it was an accident, but...it's also related to the weather. The road is blocked due to heavy snow, and the highway is not open to traffic. Just don't worry, and tell my mother that they don't have to worry, and they will wait until the road administration department opens the door.

Just take the road and there will be water and food in the car." Hu Mingchen said as comforting as possible.

"Heavy snow blocking the road? It's not snowing here, and the sun is out." Hu Jianqiang asked doubtfully.

"You are in Duge, right? Our place in Duge probably won't snow once in seven or eight years. Haha, it's really snowing heavily here in Guanbao." Hu Jianqiang said that it didn't snow there and the sun was shining.

, Hu Mingchen guessed that he was in Duge's hometown.

The terrain in Dugger Town is low-lying, with hot summers and low winter temperatures. There is no snow or freezing all year round. The temperature in summer is usually seven to eight degrees higher than in the cooler city, and the difference in winter is more than ten degrees. Because

Such a contrast, it is cool and comfortable in the city in summer, but in winter, the place in Duge is much more comfortable than the city.

After winter, Hu Jianqiang often lives in Duge with his wife and children. Even if he has to deal with work matters, Zhou Yuxian stays with his children in Duge, and Hu Jianqiang goes out to do things by himself.

"Then what should I do? I'll send someone to pick you up."

"Forget it, it's freezing cold today, and the highway is no longer available, so I guess we can't take other roads. Besides, the relevant departments will probably handle this situation. If they can't handle it, then you

What can I do if I send someone here? I'd better wait patiently. Anyway, the car has air conditioning and blankets, so it's no big problem." Hu Mingchen said rejecting Hu Jianqiang's kindness.

It's not that Hu Mingchen really doesn't know good and bad, but what he said is the truth. If all the roads are blocked, then Hu Jianqiang will not be able to reach this place even if he wants to send people. Relatively speaking, the power of the government is powerful

Yes, we have to rely on them.

After chatting with Hu Jianqiang for a few more words and asking him to help comfort his family, he hung up the phone on the grounds that his mobile phone had low power and was conserving power.

In fact, the transportation department is also very worried at this time. If it doesn't snow, a crane can just move the accident truck away. If that doesn't work, you can also remove a section of the guardrail and walk to the opposite lane to ensure two-way traffic.

But facing the heavy snow, they had no choice. Even if they adopted the method of spreading salt, they would have to wait until the snow stopped. But the problem was that thousands of vehicles were blocked on this section of the road, and the service areas along the way were also stranded.

There were few vehicles and passengers, and the entrances and exits of several toll stations over nearly 100 kilometers were blocked. The command center received dozens of accident alarms and calls for help.

Hu Mingchen still thought that the relevant departments would come to rescue them soon. He had no idea that there were too many places that needed help, and they were far away from the town. If they wanted to get help, they had to wait in line.

Since he couldn't leave, Hu Mingchen calmed down and slept in the car one night. Maybe the snow would stop the next day and he could leave then.

Early the next morning, the snow had indeed stopped, but the trouble was even greater.

"It's freezing. It seems like it's really troublesome." Hu Mingchen stood on the side of the highway and looked at the half-inch-long icicles on the guardrail. Then he stepped hard on the ground with his feet, and he frowned deeply.

frowned.

When Hu Mingchen stepped on it, there was a thick layer of ice underneath the snow. The occurrence of this situation was more troublesome than snow alone.

If there is only snow, then it may be possible to pass through, but if there is ice, it will be very problematic for people to walk, let alone vehicles.

"The ice is a bit thick. It probably stopped snowing at midnight last night, but we encountered low temperatures and cold winds, so we froze. In this case, no one will come to rescue us." Duan Jinpeng stood beside Hu Mingchen.

Said beside.

Although there were many cars blocked on the road, there were not many people standing outside the cars. It was really cold outside. Just one minute after Hu Mingchen and others got out of the car, their ears turned red from the cold, and their hands and feet began to stiffen.

Hu Mingchen raised his eyes and looked at the endless traffic in front and behind him. He began to worry about these people. There were so many people freezing here without food or water. It was okay for a short time. But once the time got longer, they would probably be annoyed. Once someone did this,

If you get sick, the problem will be even greater.

"Master Hu, it's too cold outside. Let's get back to the car quickly to avoid freezing." Duan Jinpeng tightened his woolen coat, rubbed his hands, and advised Hu Mingchen.

"Well, there is nothing we can do now except wait." Hu Mingchen sighed.

Back in the car, Duan Jinpeng took a bag of beef jerky and handed it to Hu Mingchen. Hu Mingchen was not polite. He hadn't eaten for a long time, so he tore it open and ate it. Duan Jinpeng himself ate a small bag of dried tofu.

Seeing this, Hu Mingchen gave him a piece of dried meat. The quantity was a bit small, but the dried meat at least had more calories.

Originally there was some bread and biscuits in the car, but they were given to other people's children and the elderly yesterday. What they left behind were beef jerky, dried tofu and a few packages of raisins.

In order to maintain their physical strength and maintain the temperature inside the car, they sat in the car all the time.

At noon, several local people came to the side of the highway. They walked from the wasteland on the roadside and picked up two pairs of baskets. One of them carried a backpack.

"Instant noodles, does anyone want instant noodles?" When they got to the roadside, they put down their baskets and backpacks and started shouting.

As soon as I heard that someone was buying instant noodles, it immediately attracted people from several nearby cars. People got out of the car to have a look. Even Hu Mingchen and Duan Jinpeng got out of the car.

It would be really nice to have a bowl of hot instant noodles at this time.

"Fellow, give me three bowls, can they have hot water?" A car driver approached and immediately asked for money.

"Of course there is hot water. How can you make noodles without hot water? Didn't you see that all the boiled water bottles are carried? Three bowls, right, sixty yuan." The tall man who yelled said.

There were three people who came, two men and one woman. They had eight boxes of instant noodles in their baskets and four thermos bottles in their backpacks.

"What? Why are three boxes of instant noodles only 60 yuan? Isn't it three yuan a box? Ten yuan is not bad." The driver of the car was paying for it. He heard that a bowl of instant noodles was 20 yuan, so he paid for it.

The hand dropped.

"Three yuan? Brother, don't you look at what the environment is like now. We have come all the way here. You thought we were in a big store. Twenty yuan is considered cheap. This is just for the sake of coming here.

Solve your difficulties, otherwise it will be freezing and no one will come. If you want to buy it, you can buy it. If you don’t want to buy it, you will be kicked out. If you want to buy instant noodles, they will be gone. Buy on a first-come, first-served basis." The driver of the small car said sarcastically.

After a while, the man started shouting again.

This guy just saw the current situation where even if you have money you can't buy food, that's why his prices are so high, which have increased several times. At the beginning, everyone would say a few words to each other, criticizing them for being gouging.

, is to take advantage of others' danger. But when one person actually paid for it, those who were still planning to wait and see hurriedly bought it, fearing that it would be too late and they would not get their own share.
