The power went out and the whole hotel was out of heat.
It was not warm enough to stay in the hotel suite with the quilt. Christina took all the warm quilts, clothes, socks, hats, and so on. They walked up the stairs to the lobby on the first floor.
Charles felt that he was like an ostrich walking with a big white duvet and thinking it must be very funny.
He was still in the mood to turn to her and say, "Is your phone charged? Take a picture of me. If I can leave this ghost place alive, I must frame it."
"We can't leave here?"
Geoffrey was hugged by his father and buried in the duvet. His head popped out and he looked at Charles in panic.
It would take some time and energy to go down from the 12th floor to the 1st-floor lobby. Christina was already a little tired. Seeing that Charles was scaring the child, she answered, "Ignore him, this ostrich." She then reached out and patted Charles on the head.
Charles held the back of his head and deliberately screamed, "Oh, my head hurts... I can't do it anymore. You have to carry me down. You have to be responsible."
They were originally trapped in the hotel, with no electricity, no light source, no heating, and they were depressed. But Chandler and the others chuckled when Christina joked with Charles as they walked down the stairs.
Even if they were trapped in a hotel, it was no big deal. It was fine to wait.
When they finally reached the lobby, they could still hear the noise from afar. It was really difficult to calm down when being trapped in the hotel. Besides, it was snowing heavily outside.
They appeared at the entrance of the stairs wrapped in duvets, and the others looked at them in surprise.
The crowd immediately whispered, and several people rushed up the stairs. They probably wanted to go back to the suite to get the quilt, at least to keep warm.
But at the staircase entrance, they could hear people discussing angrily upstairs. "It is an electronic lock, but the power is off now. How can we open the door and get the quilt..."
Christina also said that she was not a god and could not break the door for these strangers.
If these people wanted to keep warm, they should think of their own ways.
Chandler chose a corner and they sat together. Christina put on the winter coat she had got before and gave her quilt to Crystal and then got up to walk towards the crowd.
Under the crystal lamp in the center of the hotel lobby, there was a round marble table, on which stood a tall and thin foreign man.
The man didn't seem to be particularly afraid of the cold. He was wearing a shirt, trousers, and coat. He shouted at the crowd, "Everyone, please be quiet."
"Everyone wants to leave here safely, so we must unite and cooperate with each other."
"Healthy men, please stand up. We need some people to strengthen the doors and windows to prevent the wind and snow from blowing in. We also need to find all the flammable materials and start a fire on the spot..."
The man's voice was very special and a little hoarse. Although he spoke English, it sounded a little awkward, as if his original mother tongue was not English.
His voice was seductive, like a born ruler, and he could easily order people to do something.
The only wish of the passengers in the lobby was to leave safely. It seemed that what the man said made sense and these people quickly cooperated with each other to check the surrounding doors and windows.
The extra chairs and tables in the hotel were set on fire, and a big fire was set up in the middle, illuminating the dark lobby and giving people a sense of security.
It was not safe to make a fire in the room, but there was no other way now. The power was off, so they could only use this primitive way to keep warm.
Christina narrowed her eyes and looked at the man seriously through the flames. She found this man familiar.
Suddenly, she remembered that the man had taken a picture of her with an SLR camera the day she arrived at the ski resort.
The man was very sensitive. He turned around and looked straight at her.
