Chapter 913 Catching Up To Her
The snow was light at first, as if someone had scattered white grains on the ground.
It didn't take long for the snow to become heavier and thicker, fluttering everywhere like goose feathers.
A vast expanse of white soon enveloped the world, and trees with fallen leaves were covered by pure white snow. Snowflakes fell one after another as the wind blew.
Cassandra, Ashlyn, and the rest were braving the snowstorm while they patrolled the disaster site, checking to see if any victims were still left behind.
At that time, it had been five days since the earthquake occurred.
Within those five days and nights, if there were anyone still buried beneath the ruins, the chances of them surviving would be slim.
Moreover, the heavy snow presented new challenges to the rescue team.
It would greatly reduce the sensitivity of those detectors and equipment if the muddy roads froze again early tomorrow morning.
“It's so cold!” Cassandra wore a red and white checkered coat, which made her look like a fairy walking through the pure, white snow.
After rubbing her hands together, Cassandra blew on them to warm them. In order to get herself warmed up, she even stomped her feet.
Her feet were swollen, red, and numb from the cold despite wearing rain boots.
Cassandra looked at Ashlyn, who was walking ahead of her. The girl maintained her upright posture as she walked, seemingly unaffected by the heavy snow.
Despite her rain boots being soaking wet, she was like a lifeless statue that only knew how to search and rescue victims.
“You're really awesome, Boss!” A puff of water vapor escaped Luigi's mouth as soon as he spoke.
The weather was indeed very cold.
“All right, cut the bull. Let's hurry up and finish our task so we can go back to our rooms and rest. If it really freezes over tomorrow, it won't be easy to get people out of the ruins. It's better to locate and rescue as many people now as possible.”
Cassandra began digging with a shovel as she spoke.
The detector beeped again, indicating that there was someone trapped underground.
After completing their task at night, Ashlyn didn't expect to see an old acquaintance at the disaster site when they returned.
