"Come on, stop lying around on your phones! Let's clear the snow from the entrance!"
At the entrance of the Li Mei Hotel, someone with a shovel was loudly rallying the others.
Night was about to fall, and the lights inside the hotel were already on.
The first-floor lobby was densely packed with makeshift beds on the floor. Including the people staying in the rooms upstairs, the entire hotel housed at least five or six hundred people.
Hearing the call, someone said with dissatisfaction, "Why are we clearing snow again? Didn't we just do it yesterday?"
"It's been snowing so hard every day, it's all piled up again."
"It's almost over a meter high. It really does need clearing."
"Get those people in the guest rooms to come out! It can't always be us folks in the lobby doing all the work!"
COUGH, COUGH COUGH!
Amid the noisy chatter, some people looked outside. A thick layer of snow had already piled up on the steps of the hotel's main entrance.
