With the arrival of this ice pellet storm, the temperature dropped by another ten degrees, and now it is more than fifty degrees below zero.
Fortunately, when a blizzard starts, people will immediately move underground even if they are on the ground.
In the ward where Zhou Shuwan and the others were, a storm of ice particles as big as stones hit the cabin and the glass like bullets, swift and fierce, and the sound of "dong dong dong" was particularly scary.
Zhou Shuwan was not affected at all and just concentrated on giving acupuncture to the next person.
Because of the series of major disasters, almost all the windows on the mother ship have been replaced several times.
Therefore, the windows in the rescue area are all made of the strongest tempered glass, which has withstood several ice particle storms. Mu Mu can only pray that it can withstand it this time as well.
Suddenly, the mothership's power system fluctuated, and the lights above flickered a few times before going out completely.
Darkness instantly swallowed up the room. Only the spare lamp next to Zhou Shuwan emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the profile of her face.
"The power is out!" Mu Mu whispered, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
He stood up quickly, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack. The corridor was also pitch black, with only the faint sounds of hurried footsteps and whispers coming from the distance.
But soon, the backup power supply started.
Faint lights lit up the corridors and the ceilings of the halls.
It's not all dark anymore.
Mu Mu responded, quickly put on his coat, opened the door and walked out.
The rescue area was crowded with people, and footsteps could be heard outside. It should be people from other places being transferred here under the escort of the navy.
He found Yuxuan sitting in the rescue area and hurried back with her.
Yuxuan's face was a little pale, obviously frightened by the ice storm outside.
She entered the room and saw Zhou Shuwan busy. She didn't dare to make a sound, but she was very tactful and held the flashlight to illuminate Zhou Shuwan.
At the moment the power went out, the entire rescue area was plunged into darkness, with only sporadic flashlight beams flickering in the corridor.
The medical staff had long been accustomed to such situations and quickly adjusted their mindsets to continue with their work.
The cold air outside the corridor gradually seeped in. The person in charge of the rescue area directed the nurses to open the windows in the corridor to allow the cold air outside to circulate with the warm air indoors.
Once the power is cut off, all the resources of the mothership will be used in the rescue area first, so other people on the mothership will also be transferred here.
Yuxuan was a little worried, so she waited for a while and then came out to see the people moving here. She happened to see Zhipeng and Xuedong sitting in the corridor, both of them looked a little solemn.
She walked over quickly and greeted them in a low voice: "Brother, Cousin Dong, are you all right?"
Zhipeng stood up quickly: "I just told Dongdong that I was looking for you, where have you been?"
Yuxuan explained that Sister Wanwan called her to her ward, which was a little warmer than outside.
Zhipeng smiled with relief and gratitude: "Okay, you should thank Sister Wanwan and Mumu. Go ahead, we'll stay here, it's warm here too!"
Xue Dong also nodded, his tone full of concern: "Yes, Yuxuan, you don't have to worry about us, we can handle it ourselves."
Yuxuan pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'm just worried about you guys, so I came to check on you. If you have any questions, come find me in that ward."
After both of them nodded, she saw that Zhipeng was holding a flashlight in his hand, so she borrowed it from him and took it back.
After entering the ward, he took the flashlight and shone it over to Zhou Shuwan to make the light inside the ward brighter.
Zhou Shuwan took the time to smile at her and thank her.
Only after she finally finished acupuncture for the wounded did she breathe a sigh of relief and sit on the chair next to her with Yuxuan and Mumu to rest.
She had been working for three hours straight. Mu Mu felt bad for her and handed her a roasted taro: "Sister, this is what I left over from lunch. Have some."
Zhou Shuwan took it, broke off half and handed it to Yuxuan: "You should eat too. There's a power outage here, and I don't think the food will be delivered for a while."
Yuxuan waved her hands quickly, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone: "Sister Wanwan, eat quickly and don't worry about me. I had a full lunch and I'm not hungry now."
Zhou Shuwan didn't say anything else and directly stuffed the taro into her hand: "Eat quickly, the power is out, and I don't know when the food will be delivered. After the last ice storm, everyone on the mothership was hungry for several days."
Yuxuan couldn't refuse anymore, so she took the taro, said thank you, and started eating it in small bites.
The sweetness of taro spread in the mouth. Although it was left over from lunch, it seemed particularly precious in such an environment.
Just then, there was a slight commotion outside.
Mu Mu walked to the door, gently opened it a crack, looked out, then closed the door, turned around and said, "Captain Shang and Captain Chen are here."
The head of the rescue area originally wanted to arrange a separate room for them.
But the two captains would never agree. They waved their hands and said they would just sit in the hall and wait.
At this time, the captain is needed to take command and calm people's hearts, so he cannot enjoy any privileges.
So, the commotion just now was the sound of other people standing up and greeting them when they saw them coming.
The sound of ice particles hitting the glass outside the window became louder and louder, deafening.
For safety reasons, Zhou Shuwan, Mu Mu, and Yu Xuan carried a table to the window and stood it up to block the glass.
This can prevent the glass from breaking and causing ice particles to crash in and injure people.
Several soldiers who had been sitting on their beds to rest felt a little embarrassed when they heard the noise next to them, and asked if they needed help.
Zhou Shuwan smiled and raised his voice, but in such a noisy environment, his voice was too low for the other party to hear.
"I'm fine now. I'll ask you for help later if something happens. I just gave you acupuncture. Now all you need to do is get some rest."
They were all very grateful, but also a little embarrassed.
Zhou Shuwan sat there, chatting with them and calming their emotions.
People in the dark, facing such an environment, will indeed feel uneasy.
Qi Mingyu was like this at the beginning, but he was introverted. Even if he was uneasy, he would just hold her hand tightly and silently, not letting anyone discover the uneasiness and hesitation in his heart.
After waiting for another two hours, the temperature inside the mothership gradually became colder.
Mu Mu was sitting there, almost drowsy, when she suddenly felt a chill around her.
Zhou Shuwan hurriedly woke him up: "Mumu, wake up quickly, the temperature in the room has become cold. Don't dare to sleep!"
Mu Mu suddenly woke up: "Is the heating system broken? I'll go check it out."
He went outside to the corridor to check the thermometer, which showed the temperature was minus 3 degrees Celsius.
The temperature was still around 10 degrees Celsius before, but after just one or two hours, the temperature dropped by more than 10 degrees Celsius.
