Chapter 457
Zhou Shuwan blew the whistle hard. The short and rapid whistle seemed weak in the wind and snow, but it conveyed a tense signal.
Tao Zheng groaned and struggled to get up, his crampons leaving deep marks on the ground.
He felt a burning pain in his ankle, but he tried to ignore it and responded to Zhou Shuwan with a whistle.
Then he adjusted his posture and continued to crawl forward with difficulty.
The strong wind was like an invisible giant hand, constantly trying to knock them over, but the two men relied on their tenacious perseverance to move forward step by step.
They moved slowly along the building, and from time to time ice and snow slid down from the roof and hit the ground with a dull sound.
Zhou Shuwan's heart sank. Before they set out, they had agreed to walk through the narrow alley, but they forgot that when there were buildings on both sides, there would be a risk of heavy objects falling.
She blew the whistle again to alert Tao Zheng to the danger above his head.
Tao Zheng responded to indicate that he heard it.
His movements were more cautious than before, and he looked up from time to time to observe the snow above his head.
Crawling was a little faster than walking, and after about fifty minutes, the two crossed the square and arrived at the buildings on the west side.
Find a relatively sheltered corner, stop and rest for a while, and replenish your energy.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Shuwan shouted loudly, his voice a little hoarse.
In a blizzard, the wind swallows all sound, so the only way to communicate is to shout.
Tao Zheng nodded, but was unable to speak due to pain and fatigue.
At first he thought of gliding back, but he quickly gave up the idea.
Crawling requires the use of leg strength, especially when he was knocked over just now, which made the injury to his ankle even more serious.
Zhou Shuwan couldn't see his face clearly, but he guessed that his wound must be very painful, and he felt very sorry.
She thought for a moment, then took out two energy bars from the first aid kit and handed them to the other person.
This energy bar is very small, not even as thick as a little finger, but it can quickly replenish energy and is a military supply.
When Qi Mingyu was stockpiling supplies, he also stockpiled some of these energy bars.
There are abundant supplies in the space, but they have never been willing to eat them unless there are special circumstances.
Now is that special time.
The outer covering of the energy bar had been worn off, leaving only the worn packaging with ice chips.
Tao Zheng was surprised, but after a closer look, he recognized it.
But this is easy to understand. The captain must have stockpiled it and then tried every possible means to preserve it until now.
With trembling fingers, he tore open the package, opened the mask a little, and stuffed the energy bar into his mouth.
In the wild, it is best not to remove the mask of the air-conditioning suit with super sealing.
But in special circumstances, such as when replenishing energy, you can use this small opening to eat.
Be quick and then seal the opening.
Zhou Shuwan doesn't need to go through so much trouble. She now knows how to transfer the food in the space directly into her mouth, so others can't see what she is eating.
But in a confined space like yesterday, eating anything would be discovered, and there was a highly alert special forces soldier sitting next to her.
So she just followed through with the compressed crackers and baked potatoes.
She also ate two energy bars and felt that her strength had been restored a lot.
After a brief exchange, the two decided to continue on their journey.
"Let's go." Zhou Shuwan put on a mask and spoke in a firm tone.
Tao Zheng nodded and put on the mask as well.
The two men lay down again and crossed the wide square, this time needing to crawl along the ropes in the alley.
The two of them just had a brief discussion and decided to stick to the original plan.
Although there is a risk of heavy objects falling on their heads, they have already memorized this route. If they go in the wrong direction on other routes, it will be a disaster.
