…

Snowing.

The heavy snow fell from the high sky silently, covering the mountains, rivers, towns, streets... everything.

In the blink of an eye, the world outside the glass was completely white.

Along with this came the rapidly falling temperature.

Under the dual blessing of objectivity and subjectivity, the guests in the store almost shuddered at the same time, and then subconsciously picked up the cotton clothes beside them, their eyes becoming more and more frightened.

Amidst the noise, several of the loudest guests opened the door together and rushed in the direction of the Government Affairs Office. Others were confused whether to follow or not, and just stood there blankly.

"Goodbye, hurry up and pack your things." Hathaway finished the hot drink in front of her and put on her cotton coat, scarf, and hat again. Although she was not afraid of the cold due to her strength, in order to avoid appearing special, she always

I'm still used to wearing it.

After doing this, she took out two banknotes from her wallet and handed them to the shop owner who smiled very kindly.

"Miss Lina, do you also think this is true?"

The latter held a clean rag tightly in his hand and looked nervous.

"All I can say is, trust the government." Hathaway said calmly, "Bring all your identity documents. There is no need to bring extra clothing. They will be distributed uniformly when the time comes."

The latter was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to realize something:

"Lina...you knew it in advance, right? I mean this news?"

Hathaway pursed her lips, said nothing, turned around, and pushed out the door under the shop owner's hesitant and wanting to stop her eyes.

"Huh...huh..."

On the streets, heavy snow fell. If it were in the past, this kind of weather would never be too cold, but today it was extremely abnormal.

The cold is like nails, piercing from all directions, making it inevitable for people to avoid it.

The number of vehicles and pedestrians on the street increased significantly. She clearly saw a figure running out of the shops on both sides of the street, exclaiming, then wrapped in clothes and ran in the cold.

Or get into the same cold car and try to return home, or go find relatives and friends.

In this era, landline phones were not yet very popular, and televisions were still a rarity. National news broadcasts were almost the most authoritative and widest communication channel in people's minds.

In addition, there is a clear precedent for "disasters caused by strange objects" in history. At this moment, when the four countries simultaneously issued nationwide warnings and unabashedly revealed the news of the impending disaster to the public through invisible signals, this brought about

, which is a natural panic.

"Crunch... Crunch..." Hathaway was walking slowly on the street. At some point, there was the sound of squeezing snow under her feet. The cold wind swept across, heavy snow fluttered, and her body was soon covered.

A thick layer.

However, she still walked endlessly and unhurriedly, watching everything in her field of vision with a pair of unwavering eyes.

"Beep... beep..." The car on the road made a rapid honking sound, and streams of steam quickly condensed into ice as soon as they came out of the exhaust pipe.

Pedestrians passed by her despite the wind and snow, no one had any extra thoughts to pay attention to others, and the whole town was filled with tension and depression.

At some point, she stopped and found that she was opposite the Government Affairs Office.

Across a street, she saw that the door of the square and tall building was already crowded with anxious people, densely packed, noisy, and noisy, seeming to verify the authenticity of the information.

At the door of the Government Affairs Office, several similarly wrapped officials used loudspeakers and kept shouting at the top of their lungs, repeating words similar to those on the news station, which only caused even more noise from the angry people.

“…Please hurry up, go home, bring your identity certificate, and wait for the government’s next arrangements… According to the country’s emergency evacuation order, we are the first batch of teams to be transferred!

Tomorrow at the latest, all citizens will be transferred to safe areas in batches by special government trains to avoid the supernatural storm! Please hurry up..."

In the blowing wind and snow, the officials' voices seemed less real, as if they were right next to their ears, and yet they seemed far away in the horizon.

Hathaway stood quietly across the street, staring at everything.

I watched with my own eyes the anxious officials taking over their shifts, giving speeches, and rushing to ask questions. The noisy crowd dispersed and came again, came and dispersed...

I saw citizens squeezing in the crowd stupidly, with their necks raised, and then after being persuaded to squeeze out, holding on to their hats, they left in confusion.

At this moment, Hathaway suddenly realized that this was clearly a microcosm of countless places on the entire continent at this moment.

The people of the three kingdoms need to move, and the same goes for the people of the Southern Continent.

In the face of this unexpected disaster, different people will have different reactions.

Thinking about it, she took out a camera from her backpack, operated it skillfully with her fingers that were not frozen, then aimed at this scene and pressed the shutter.

"Crack!"

An image immediately appeared on the photosensitive film.

Then, she turned around and continued walking slowly along the street.

The wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and the sense of time began to blur. Before I knew it, the sky darkened and it was already night.

Tonight, the coastal city is particularly bright and lively. As far as the eye can see, every house is lit up and agitated.

Snowplows mobilized by the government rumbled along the main road one after another, clearing away the snow on the ground. At the same time, large speakers fixed on the vehicles repeatedly played emergency evacuation orders.

The huge sound swept through the entire city and did not stop all night long.

In fact, people are no strangers to "emergency evacuation". In the past hundred years, the four countries have continued to publicize the "disaster of strange objects" so that people will not forget it. At the same time, they organize regular evacuation drills every year.

Almost everyone knows how to do it under the fierce propaganda, but the practice is ultimately different from the reality.

When a disaster that only exists in propaganda and history suddenly strikes, no one can remain absolutely calm.

…

After nightfall, Hathaway simply chose to follow a snow plow and found that in the second half of the night, there were suddenly more private cars on the road.

They drove out from one house after another, their headlights turned on looking particularly hazy in the snow.

Through the car window, you can see that it is filled with items, as well as people, men, women, children, and the elderly are all crowded into the car, packed into large and small suitcases, nervously and fearfully walking along the road toward the car.

Leave in the southeast direction.

News has spread in the town that the transferred personnel will first arrive at the port of Winter County, and then "board the ship" and leave.

Most people will be transferred by railway in designated batches, but trains seem to have restrictions on the weight of materials carried by each person, and batches are also an important problem.

Therefore, driven by some crazy rumors, many people who knew the transfer location in advance simply drove to Winter Harbor.

Hathaway stood on the steeple of the town church, silently overlooking the city from this angle, and witnessed the vehicles piercing the dark night to escape. She was not sure whether this decision was wise. After all, once such a heavy snowstorm blocked the road, it would

It will slow down the transfer progress.

In addition, even if you arrive at the port, if you use a ship for shipping, you will also be restricted from carrying items. After all, people's priorities are always more important than items...

However, considering that the "Observer" promised that he would solve this problem, it seems... uncertain.

What method will the observer use?

All Hathaway could think of was that the unimaginable extraordinary power originating from the gods suddenly transformed more ships?

Or a large-scale flying spell?

She was wondering a little boredly, and before she knew it, she sat on the church steeple all night.

When it dawned the next day, the streets in the town were already covered with tire marks. There were many fewer private cars, but the government's special car came as promised.

"Rumble..." When the huge dark green troop transport truck drove in from outside the city, soldiers with live ammunition knocked on the doors on both sides of the streets in the northern city with the help of government staff.

The scene is unnerving, and the message they convey is even more disturbing.

"Please cooperate with us, get in the car immediately, and move to avoid danger." When the confused people opened their doors, they were faced with cold strangers and trucks waiting outside.

Most people chose to cooperate, but many conflicts also occurred.

Hathaway saw with her own eyes some townspeople arguing and even fighting with government officials over carrying more boxes. She also saw some people blocking the door and refusing to open it despite orders from outside. Some people loudly stated that they were not going anywhere.

They even shouted loudly, saying that this was a lie by the government and a violent action carried out to plunder their own private property...

She originally thought that the government would choose to persuade or take them away by force. However, when faced with those who were determined and refused to cooperate, they actually ignored them...

This made Hathaway stunned for a few seconds, and then she realized that this might be the cruel corner of the coming winter.

The polar storm is spreading at a terrifying speed. The time wasted for one resister can save more people. Obviously, the "young" king Aspen made the most efficient and coldest decision.

Hathaway was silent for a moment, and in the silence, trucks loaded with citizens and belongings rumbled away from the area, transporting people to the train station, or rushing to Winterport by road.

Only this extremely quiet urban area is left standing here.

She thought for a while, then her figure drifted down, came to the door of a resolute town citizen, and rang the doorbell.

"I said! Get out! Don't want me to leave my home!!" A somewhat thin old man suddenly opened the door and shouted loudly. Immediately, after seeing Hathaway outside the door, he was obviously stunned.

Down.

"Now, bring your ID and rush to the train station immediately. There is still time." Hathaway said seriously.

"Who do you think you are? I'm telling you, no one... no one can make me lose my house... no one..."

The next second, the excited old man only saw the mysterious woman in front of him raise her hand and lightly snap her fingers.

Then, he turned his head and looked behind him as if aware, and saw that the old house suddenly burst into flames, lighting up the world full of flying snow.

…

Lishan Martial Arts School, in the study room.

Lin Tuo, who was using the "zoom" function and overlooking the town of Winter County, was suddenly startled when he saw a small, bright fire that was shaking with magic power.
