"Mayor Geng, the progress is too slow. The basic framework of the shelter is already there, but too few people have been evacuated!"

A man in a thick military coat said.

"Old Zhou, it snowed heavily in the past few days and our people couldn't go out!" A man with a dark complexion and gray hair standing next to the man in the military coat answered.

“Even if we notify the people around here, there are too few people who can move in!”

"With the temperature so low, families with children will freeze to death if they are exposed to the elements for too long!"

"As soon as the snow stopped last night, I sent everyone out today! We need to use these seven days to rescue all the people down there!"

Old Zhou, who was wearing a military coat, said, "Let's hope so! I don't know if the support mentioned above can arrive. It's not just empty talk, is it?"

"Lao Zhou! I have to say something to you! You are a soldier! You must obey orders and believe in the organization!" said the dark-skinned man seriously.

The man in the military coat was a little embarrassed for a moment. He was the commander of the army and should not have said such words.

Unexpectedly, I was taught a lesson by the local mayor.

"Lao Geng, you misunderstood me. I am not questioning my superiors. I am a soldier. Whether there is support or not, I will obey orders!"

"I'm just worried about the thick ice and snow! What kind of rescue can arrive on time?"

"You know that all my equipment is frozen!"

"Don't worry, Lao Zhou, there will be help! There are hundreds of thousands of people in this city! We will definitely be able to rescue them!"

The dark-skinned man looked out the window and said nothing more.

Military Coat didn't say anything either, and both of them looked out the window quietly.

In front of them was a large factory area. Unlike other parts of the city which were dead silent, a puff of steam would rise from this area from time to time.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight mechanical hum and the voices of many people talking.

In some factories, there are even bright lights shining through the windows!

In the warehouse on the side of the factory, there was a mountain of food! The food used to distribute disaster relief was just a drop in the bucket.

......

Lao Zhou's worries did not last long, and Mayor Geng's expectations were not disappointed.

That afternoon after the snow stopped, when the convoy headed for the shelter amid the snow and fog, they knew:

Support is really coming!

"Report! All members of the 00173 Special Squad have reported in! There should be 15 people, and there are 15 people actually present. Captain Yang Feng, please give your instructions!"

A man wearing brown glasses and a gray and white camouflage down jacket saluted Mayor Geng and Lao Zhou.

Behind him were a dozen or so people dressed similarly, standing in front of the convoy in an orderly manner.

At some point, Lao Zhou's military coat had been buttoned neatly, and there was some white frost on his beard and eyebrows.

Lao Zhou stepped forward, returned a salute to Yang Feng, then slowly turned his body and saluted the entire 00173 special team.

After that, Lao Zhou spoke:

"At ease! Your team has worked hard! However, the mission is still very difficult. Go and rest first, and tomorrow morning, cooperate with government personnel to start the rescue!"

"any questions?"

"No!" More than a dozen voices gave the same answer.

......

Shelter canteen.

Mayor Geng, with gray hair, sat at the dining table, and the people opposite him were the members of the special team who had just arrived.

"Comrade, where are you all from? I wonder if you can tell me?"

Mayor Geng saw that everyone had almost finished eating and asked.

"There's nothing to hide. We came from Bincheng. We followed the main force across the sea and came all the way to here."

A man with a simple and honest face answered Mayor Geng's question in a loud voice.

"Bincheng, that's right. Only you in the Northeast have such preparations. It's not easy to build a snowplow with such good performance in such a harsh climate!"

"Oh, young comrade. You just said a large force? Do you mean there are many teams like yours?"

"Ah, this? Can I tell you about this?" The honest man realized that he had said too much and quickly looked at his captain.

Yang Feng, who was sitting at the other end of the table, had already heard the questions and answers here, but these were no secrets, so he did not interrupt his warriors.

However, seeing that he realized that he had revealed too much, Yang Feng gave him a lecture:

"Fang Zhigang, forget it this time. Watch your mouth! There won't be a next time!"

"Yes! Captain!"

The honest man named Fang Zhigang responded and lowered his head to continue eating.

Yang Feng turned around, looked at Mayor Geng, and said, "Actually, you will know it soon even if I don't tell you."

"Soon, support from nearby areas also arrived, some even arrived earlier than us. So, this is not a secret."

"The number of our special forces team is also the team's serial number, starting from 001. Each city will have a support team. We are the 173rd team."

Mayor Geng nodded solemnly, "That means the whole country needs more than 300 teams like yours!"

"No wonder, it's really a large army! I knew that the organization would never abandon its people!"

"Our great nation will surely be able to rise from the ashes just like it has done in countless disasters in the past!"

At this point, Mayor Geng became excited, and his dark face turned deep red.

Yang Feng put down his bowl and chopsticks and continued, "Mayor Geng, don't be too optimistic. This snowstorm is too serious!"

"If things go wrong, it could be a catastrophe that will lead to the extinction of human civilization! We've seen too many of them on our way here! Too many people couldn't even survive the first night of temperature drop!"

"Although snow had just started to fall in the south, the Northeast was fully producing snowplows under the highest instructions. However, who could have imagined that the disaster would come so violently!"

......

A new day began. Lin Ling had just come out of the practice room when she heard a burst of noise in the neighborhood.

There was also the faint sound of a loudspeaker broadcasting.

Lin Ling is now looking out the window into the distance, in the direction outside the community. A cloud of snow fog rises into the sky, then continues to stretch, turning into a long snow curtain hanging in the sky.

"The shelter has been built. Please prepare and evacuate as soon as possible."

"The shelter has been built. Please prepare and evacuate as soon as possible."
