Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Power

And she had to hurry up and tell the news to everyone.

They had won a victory yesterday, and probably they were still excited and hadn’t noticed yet.

Or rather, they hadn’t woken up yet.

Arriving at the door of apartment 2102, she knocked with practiced ease, accustomed to discussing matters with Song Yi first.

But she only knocked three times, not continuing, according to the prior arrangement.

Song Yi emerged in his pajamas, his face still showing a trace of sleepiness.

His hair was a mess, obviously he had just woken up.

"Um, Song Yi, it’s snowing cotton-like snowflakes."

"Cotton-like snow?"

He furrowed his brow slightly, clearly a bit confused.

Then, he walked over to the window.

Pulling back a corner of the window curtain, he was also stunned.

"The snow is really heavy!"

"Huh?"

Was that all his reaction? Wasn’t it a little too unexcited?

"Did you see that snowflake? It’s as big as cotton."

"Yeah, it’s indeed big. I think that might be why the person from the eighth floor took a big risk."

Hmm...

"I really didn’t think about it, but now that you mention it, it seems quite true.

Song Yi, this snow is too heavy. I think the situation is going to get worse.

Last night, it already accumulated more than half a meter. If it keeps going, our building, especially the lower floors, might get completely buried."

Hearing this, he nodded.

"Then the seventh floor is probably gone by now, which is just as well—we won’t have to block the doors anymore."

"That may be, but if the snow doesn’t melt, we’ll be completely trapped.

Even if someone falls, they are likely to be buried by the snow."

Jhiang Yuan sighed, not knowing what to do.

Seeing her like this, Song Yi felt sorry and quickly softened his tone.

"Don’t think too much about it, misfortune may be an actual blessing.

If we can’t get out, no one from outside can get in either. With food and drink, this might actually be a good thing."

Yes, only those two families were left in the building now.

For them, there was no threat anymore.

"Does that mean everyone is going to start hibernating for the winter?"

"Uh-huh, but we mustn’t skimp on exercise; we don’t know what lies ahead.

If there are other dangers, physical fitness will certainly be tested."

As he spoke, he went into the adjacent bedroom.

He brought out a small rack, which looked like a freestanding clothes hanger.

"Take this back for your daughter to use."

"What is this?"

Jhiang Yuan asked, not understanding.

"She can use it as a horizontal bar, or hang from it to strengthen her grip and do stretches," he explained as he demonstrated the magical rack.

This one has three levels, high, medium, and low...

At the lowest level, it can be used as a horizontal bar, which is just right for Xiao Nuan’s height.

The middle level can be used for pull-ups, normally at her neck level, not too high.

The highest level requires reaching up to grasp, good for hanging and exercising arm strength.

If she grows taller later on, the height can still be adjusted.

Though modified, it was of particularly good quality, including a very stable base.

"Thank you, this is perfect for her."

Jhiang Yuan investigated the device with glee, and Song Yi was also happy, smiling slightly, his gaze never leaving her.

However, Jhiang Yuan did not notice.

"I should go back now. My dad is cleaning the snow. Oh, and don’t worry about cooking. I will make some breakfast and bring you a portion later."

"Okay!"

He agreed almost immediately, as Jhiang Yuan didn’t like being indebted to others, and he too was eager to eat normal food again.

His own cooking was quite lacking, but having done it more recently, it had improved somewhat.

After Jhiang Yuan returned, she woke Xiao Nuan as well, with Qin Yue cooking and her helping to shovel snow.

Goodness, it was frantic work for Jhiang Xingzhi, and he had cleared only a little bit.

Moreover, just as he finished, the snow behind him instantly covered everything again.

Not clearing it was not an option, as they couldn’t just let it block them in; it was truly infuriating.

Breakfast was sour soup dumplings, and Qin Yue was quick.

Jhiang Yuan first delivered a bowl to Song Yi, then returned to eat her own.

The people below also knew about it, and each one sighed in amazement.

After the meal was finished and everything was tidied up, to their surprise, the entire neighborhood came over, bringing tools with them.

"What are you all doing?"

"Sister Yuan, your house has a terrace, right? It must have lots of snow. We’ve come to help."

Ye Mianmian smiled sweetly, making Jhiang Yuan a bit embarrassed.

"There’s no need, it’s too much trouble in this cold weather."

"What trouble? Sister Yuan, don’t be polite."

Fan Qing said, trying to come in, and Jhiang Yuan, feeling helpless yet embarrassed, relented.

Actually, it was Song Yi who went down and suggested helping, worried that Jhiang Yuan would be too shy to ask.

So, he called everyone over.

Now, with nothing much else to do, it turned into a group activity.

"Oh my, Sister Yuan, what is all this?"

Zhang Kaiyang was somewhat shocked to see the solar panels, water tank, and water filters on the terrace.

The last time he came over was at night; the lighting was poor, and he was shocked by the grey snow.

He hadn’t noticed these devices before and was inevitably surprised now.

"It’s just some standard solar panels and water purifiers, nothing special."

Jhiang Yuan laughed it off, not wanting to dwell on the question.

The others were still in shock, but seeing this, Song Yi gave a shout and started working.

Many hands make light work, and they indeed made quick progress.

"Sister Yuan, do you have a broom? Let me sweep off the top for you..."

"Yes, I’ll go down and get it, just a moment..."

Fearing that the snow water would seep into the water tank, it was covered with something like a hatch.

Jhiang Xingzhi, then, had covered it with a wooden board.

Now, much snow had accumulated on it.

As it was high up, Zhang Kaiyang’s offer to help was more than welcome.

"Wow, look..."

Ye Mianmian stood at the edge, looking out at the neighborhood.

In front of them was a road where cars usually came and went.

Beyond that, one could see the bridge on the East Third Ring, now a stark, snowy white landscape.

"Wow, that truly is magnificent.

Thousands of miles frozen, drifting snow covering thousands of miles..."

Indeed, such a snowscape was probably not even seen in Heilong River’s Snow Village.

They hadn’t admired the view for long when a three-story building diagonally across from them suddenly collapsed.

"Oh my gosh, what on earth?!"

Fan Qing jumped in fright, with the others hurrying over to look.

The building was a residential one that stood quite tall, and now, only three stories remained above ground, with much more beneath.

To collapse just like that was shocking.

"What happened here?"

Liang Kang was also anxious; it was indeed frightening.

"The structural support probably couldn’t handle it anymore, with the previous conditions of water, ice, and strong winds.

Let’s stop looking and get back to work."

Song Yi said calmly, which settled the restlessness in the crowd.

They really had to hurry—what if their building also couldn’t hold up? What would they do then?

This was a high-rise, with nowhere to run to if something went wrong...
