The door was slowly opened. As soon as it opened, a gust of cold air blew in from the outside, causing Mother Wang and Hsiao Chih-ching to shiver.
A few graceful and graceful women wearing double-breasted British coats walked in one after another. They were Lin Ruoxi, Anxin and the other girls, and each of them had some white snow foam on their bodies.
"Aiya, Miss, why is it snowing outside?" "Even your hair has snow on it." Mother Wang quickly got up and walked over to help Lin Ruoxi brush away some of the white foam on her hair, and looked outside the house worriedly.
The plants on the island had already withered a lot in this summer. Many trees had frozen to death due to the cold, and some of the trees were bare, completely unlike the lush and leafy scene of summer.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head, brushed away the snow on her shoulders, and smiled in relief, "It's not snowing outside, it's just that when we flew over from the country, it was snowing in the Middle East."
"Oh, it's like that …" Sit down first and tell us about the situation in the country. "Mother Wang called out. She remembered that the girls did not go out by plane, but by flying.
The girls sat on the sofa and chairs, surrounding the living room, and began to talk about the situation in the country.
Just a few days ago, all the girls, other than Hsiao Chih-ching, had returned to Hua Xia. Firstly, it was to investigate Yang Cheng's news, and secondly, it was because they had a lot of things to take care of.
Lin Ruoxi, Anxin, and Tang Wan were all from big families. Whether it was Yu Lei International Group, An Family Group, or the Tang Family's Maple Forest Group, they all had tens of thousands of employees, and business cooperation spread all over the world.
Normally, as the chairman, the three women only needed to occasionally deal with some important decisions, and did not need to always come out to manage, so it didn't matter where they lived.
But now, the entire Hua Xia, and even the entire world, had entered an unprecedented cold crisis. The governments of all countries were trying their best to maintain social stability and the safety of their citizens, so it was impossible for the company to operate normally.
Not to mention anything else, just the traffic was already completely different from the past.
Apart from the tropics and the occasional warm areas with favorable topography and ocean currents, more than 80% of the world's airports were no longer operating normally, and more than 60% of the airports had been completely shut down.
More than ninety percent of the railways had been cut off, and many tracks had been buried in ice and snow, frozen and destroyed.
Naturally, the roads were not spared. Some cars could not even start or were directly frozen on the road.
In such a situation, the employees could not go to work, and the factory had stopped operating. As the big bosses, they naturally had to deal with this crisis properly.
Not only did they have to cooperate with the country to allow their employees to take a vacation, but they also had to provide a lot of resources.
At such a critical moment, he didn't even need to give his employees any money. All he needed was food, backup fuel, and heating equipment. Even if he had the money, he wouldn't have the opportunity to spend it.
As for Zhenxiu, Liu Mingyu, and the Cai sisters, they all went to meet with their families, trying to find a way to bring their relatives to the island or send them to other tropical areas.
Hui Lin's international concert tour had also been stopped early due to the terrible global temperature. Since Hui Lin had nothing to do, she returned to Beijing to help the Lin family.
As the current official of Hua Xia, Li Jingjing had been staying in the country. From time to time, she would report to the women about the situation in the country. She was also very busy with official and private matters.
"Now that more than half of Hua Xia has been frozen, people are running south. The rich are taking cars and ships to the tropics. If this continues, I'm afraid the temperature in the south will be dozens of degrees below zero …" Qiangwei sighed.
"What … what should we do? It's already dozens of degrees below zero in the south. How many people will freeze to death!" Mother Wang said worriedly.
Cai Ning frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid many people will starve to death before they freeze to death, or even be beaten to death … Now, other than some supermarkets and malls controlled by the country, all the other shops are closed. The merchants are hiding and not selling anything.
Some of the managers of the malls have directly stored the edible food for themselves, intending to sell it to other people.
Hotels, guesthouses, because there are too many people moving from the north to the south, they are all full. Even the small hotels are full. Because there is enough police and military to manage, the crime rate is constantly increasing.
There have been many incidents related to robbery, arson, and murder. They are all for food and shelter. Even the traffic is inconvenient. The police can't be dispatched in time, and the media can't even take care of themselves, so they can't take any action.
The local residents in the south are complaining. Many of them have been robbed by foreigners who have no place to go. It's like they are being invaded. When the conflict between the local and foreign residents reaches a certain level, it will be a big problem sooner or later. "
Hearing this, Mother Wang and the rest were shocked speechless. The women's expressions were gloomy. The scenes they saw when they returned to the country were really unbearable.
However, in order to survive, what was the bottom line? The law? In the face of survival instinct, it was a huge joke!
Perhaps for the time being, these situations would only appear among ordinary people and poor people. But after that, when the whole world is cold, will those rich people who hide abroad really be spared?
Rich people are also people, and they even have less ability to survive than some ordinary people. Once it comes to the last moment, those rich people will be robbed even more fiercely by ordinary people who use unscrupulous means to survive.
"Isn't there an army in the secular world? Why doesn't the country send the army to suppress them? If they don't control those people who do evil, how many innocent people will die?" Su Xin asked doubtfully.
"Army? The army is also ordinary people! " Tang Wan smiled bitterly and said, "Those soldiers have their own hometown and family. Many of those who fled to the south are their relatives. How can they point their guns at their own hometown?
It's fine if it's one or two places, but now the whole country is in chaos. Those soldiers don't have the mood to stay in the army. As far as I know, except for the Yanjing military region, a large number of soldiers in other military regions have fled home.
Now it's hard to control those officers. No one listens to them. They are all commanders without an army. No matter how they command, it's useless. Instead, some officers who tried to stop them were killed by the soldiers who were eager to return home. "
"What!? So serious!? " When Mother Wang heard this, she quickly turned her head and asked Lin Ruoxi, "Miss, did you go to see your mother-in-law? Aren't Xuehua and Commander Yang in the Jiangnan military region? "
Lin Ruoxi nodded, "Yes, but they went back to the Yang Family in Yanjing. They are very safe now. But now the Jiangnan military region is in chaos. Except for a few naval forces and special forces, the other forces are out of control. Many of the soldiers ran away on their own after they were sent out. "
"That's good. Sigh … This is a global disaster. I don't know if our country can survive it." Mother Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
The women were silent. Although they had returned to deal with some important matters and confirmed the safety of their families, as long as the temperature continued to drop, the disaster was just the beginning.
"Son-in-law, he … still no news?"
At this time, seeing that none of the women mentioned it, Su Xin couldn't help but ask.
The women's faces were especially gloomy. Their eyes were filled with worry, frustration, and resentment.
"No, my sister and I asked our dad. Hongmeng's Taoist Master Ling Xuzi met him once two weeks ago. He said that Hongmeng can't take care of itself now. All the decisions of Yellow Flame Iron Brigade are temporarily taken over by my dad.
Hubby hasn't appeared since the battle with Luo Qianqiu two months ago. Rumor in Hongmeng says that he can't lose to Luo Qianqiu. But for some reason, Luo Qianqiu survived, but hubby disappeared, "Choi Yeon answered.
"Luo Qianqiu is now taking advantage of the Ning family and Xiao family's weakness to take over the three major families and other vassal families. When the elders of Hongmeng attacked hubby, they suffered huge losses. Everyone is already in danger. I'm afraid that after Luo Qianqiu takes over all the experts from the hidden families, he will start to eat up Hongmeng …" Cai Ning said.
"That old turtle, I don't know what he did to harm hubby. Hubby will definitely be fine." Hsiao Chih-ching hated the Luo family to the core.
The women forced a smile. They also hoped that Yang Cheng was safe, but they had no clue. The only person who knew Yang Cheng's whereabouts was probably Luo Qianqiu, but they couldn't ask him in person.
"Alright, other than waiting and believing, there's nothing else we can do," Lin Ruoxi looked extremely calm. She stood up and asked, "Mother Wang, where did Lanlan go to play? Why don't I see her?"
