Chapter 168 - 166: Qin Lan Executes the Mission
Upon receiving the message from Chen Xin, Qin Lan informed the relevant departments of the situation.
Chen Xin didn’t have to wait long before a vehicle brought people to handle the situation right to his doorstep.
Qin Lan did not come along; it was a SWAT officer who had previously been to Chen Xin’s place, accompanied by two staff members.
Seeing the father and daughter frozen into sculptures in the snow, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.
"It’s so pitiful, why would they come out in such cold weather!" Looking at the deceased little girl, the SWAT officer, possibly because of his youth, couldn’t help but express his lament.
"Without professional protective equipment and sufficient warm clothing, in weather like this, people can freeze to death within a few hours." The staff member tasked with collecting the bodies was somewhat accustomed to it but still felt regret upon seeing the frozen young girl.
Listening to them, Chen Xin couldn’t help but ask, "Are many people freezing to death? Aren’t there official shelters?"
"The official shelters only accommodate eighty percent of the population!" The staff member smiled wryly and sighed before explaining, "Although the vast majority managed to enter shelters promptly before the disaster, a small portion did not. They used various means to survive the first wave of disasters from the meteor impact, but they are short on clothes and food.
When the weather wasn’t so cold, they could barely make do, but as it gets colder, they find it increasingly difficult. The city government has been working hard on rescue missions, but many still live outside. You often find frozen bodies in the city, not even knowing when they froze to death."
While speaking, the two staff members tried to separate the father and daughter’s corpses to fit them into body bags. However, the frozen corpses were not easy to separate, especially with the father holding the daughter tightly. To separate them, they had to break the father’s arms.
