Chapter 229 Trapped
The next morning, before dawn, the world was still shrouded in thick darkness.
Summer woke up early as usual.
He has always been accustomed to getting up early, and in the harsh environment of Saihanba, getting up early has become a part of his life.
He walked briskly to the door, reached out and grasped the wooden doorknob, and pushed it hard.
However, the door remained completely still, as if it were firmly imprisoned on the door frame by an invisible force.
Xia Tian frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his mind, and he increased his strength.
Pushing the door again, the wooden door still stood stubbornly there, as if it had been welded shut.
"what happened?"
Summer muttered to himself, his mind racing through a variety of possible reasons.
He quickly realized that the snowfall was extremely heavy.
It's very likely that they've blocked the entrance to the underground cellar.
The fact that the entrance to the dugout was blocked like this shows just how heavy the snow must have been last night.
However, Xia Tian did not panic because of this.
He had anticipated the possibility of extreme weather and made preparations well in advance.
He not only prepared himself with countermeasures.
They also reminded the other male dormitories to make the necessary preparations.
Summer took a deep breath, rubbed her hands together to dispel the chill.
He walked to the corner and picked up the tools he had prepared beforehand.
His eyes revealed determination and confidence as he began his attack to break down the defense.
With each strike, his movements were steady and powerful.
Meanwhile, in Feng Cheng's dormitory, Feng Cheng was also awakened by the strangeness of the early morning.
He found the door blocked by snow, just like in summer.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately picked up his tools and began the work of breaking down the door.
Da Kui and Sui Zhichao, who were sleeping soundly, were both awakened by Feng Cheng's noise.
Sui Zhichao, wrapped in a blanket, asked a question in a daze.
"Feng Cheng, what are you doing?"
His voice was still heavy with sleepiness, and his eyes were barely open.
"The dormitory door is blocked by heavy snow!"
Feng Cheng replied, his hands not stopping, a hint of anxiety in his voice.
"I'm breaking down the door, you two wake up and come help me."
Sui Zhichao was so startled by Feng Cheng's answer that he was wide awake. He sat up abruptly on the kang (a heated brick bed) and stared wide-eyed.
"What? You're saying the door is sealed shut by the snow?"
He could hardly believe his ears; he had never encountered anything like this before.
"Yes, come and help!"
Feng Cheng urged again.
Sui Zhichao immediately jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), quickly dressed, and joined Feng Cheng's mission to break down the door.
Not to be outdone, Da Kui also joined in.
The three of them worked together, wielding their tools tirelessly.
Meanwhile, in Zhao Tianshan's dormitory, Zhao Tianshan also discovered that the dormitory door was blocked by heavy snow.
He glanced at the tools in the corner and thought to himself, "That was close."
Fortunately, he checked the tools last night.
And he discovered the problem in time; otherwise, he would have been mortified.
Summer has repeatedly emphasized the importance of having the right tools prepared.
Zhao Tianshan woke up the advance team members who were sleeping in the dormitory. His voice was concise and powerful.
"The door is blocked by the heavy snow!"
He briefly explained the current situation to the group.
“We need to break down the door. Lao Wei and I will go first, and Da Yong and Er Huang will be ready to step in at any time.”
"Swift and decisive!"
"Swift and decisive!"
The group responded in unison, their voices filled with fighting spirit.
They acted swiftly, and following Zhao Tianshan's instructions, began the demolition of the dugout gate.
With everyone's joint efforts, they managed to break a crack in the door of the dugout in no time.
"Dayong, Erhuang, you two come with me, let's dig the snow track first."
Zhao Tianshan began assigning tasks in an orderly manner.
"Old Wei, prepare some hot water first!"
His gaze was firm and calm, as if everything was under his control.
"Let's dig towards Feng Cheng's group first and then meet up with him."
Zhao Tianshan continued to make arrangements.
"Many hands make light work. We'll dig together towards Xia Gong's dormitory and the girls' dormitory later."
"do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Captain."
Dayong and Erhuang responded and immediately picked up their tools to start clearing the snow from the doorway with Zhao Tianshan.
Wei Fugui started a fire in the dugout to boil water, preparing warmth for everyone.
On the other side, Feng Cheng and his men also broke down the gate.
Looking at the snow piled up at the doorway, almost as high as they were, Sui Zhichao clicked his tongue in amazement.
This was the first time in his life he had ever seen such thick snow.
The snow was like a white city wall, blocking their way.
"Alright, let's get moving and start digging towards the captain's group."
"Let's rendezvous with the captain and the others first!"
Feng Cheng's voice was firm and powerful, full of appeal.
The three of them cleared the snow from the doorway, determined their location, and then began digging towards Zhao Tianshan and his group.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and the heavy snow was still falling, seemingly without end.
The blizzard blew across the snow-covered surface, stinging people's cheeks as if countless tiny knives were slicing across their faces.
The snow was about 1.2 meters thick, making each step extremely difficult.
……
"Woof woof woof~"
Suddenly, a familiar barking sound came from the dog.
"It's Xiao Liu!"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Tianshan exclaimed in surprise.
The two teams clearing snow soon met.
"Old Zhao/Feng Cheng, are you alright?"
Upon meeting, Feng Cheng and Zhao Tianshan asked each other in unison.
"fine!"
The two answered almost simultaneously.
"It's good that you're alright. Where's Engineer Xia?"
Zhao Tianshan asked another question.
"Xia Gong should still be in the dugout!"
After listening to Zhao Tianshan's question, Feng Cheng thought for a moment and then said something.
"Then let's hurry up and dig up Xia Gong!"
Zhao Tianshan and Feng Cheng hit it off immediately. After identifying the direction, they started digging towards Xia Tian's dormitory.
By this time of year, summer had almost brought the ski slopes all the way to the girls' dormitory.
His temporary dormitory was the closest to the canteen.
He first dug a tunnel from his dormitory to the cafeteria, and then started digging from the cafeteria toward the girls' dormitory.
His movements were skilled and swift, as if he never tired.
Soon, Zhao Tianshan and Feng Cheng led their men to dig up Xia Tian's dormitory.
When they arrived at the dormitory entrance in the summer, they finally saw the snow track that Xia Tian had dug.
Following the snow path dug in the summer, we arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria.
From the entrance of the cafeteria, I looked at another ski slope leading to the girls' dormitory.
