Chapter 136: Entering the City

Two days later, the truck driving from the city stopped steadily at the gate of Chen Xin's shelter.

With Qin Lan's "help", a total of six ground source heat pump equipment has been manufactured, so Chen Xin will also go to the city with Qin Lan this time to help with the installation of ground source heat pumps.

"Sister Qin, we're here to pick you up." Two young SWAT team members jumped out of the truck and greeted Qin Lan, who was standing at the door of the shelter to greet them.

"Thank you for your hard work, the things are inside, let's load them in the car first." Qin Lan nodded, and without too much politeness, she supported the two SWAT team members to start carrying the equipment, and at the same time, she didn't forget to introduce to the two: "This is Chen Xin, he will go back with us later, this batch of equipment needs him to install and debug." ”

Hearing Qin Lan's introduction, both of them said hello to Chen Xin, and then began to carry the equipment.

Six ground source heat pump equipment is not a lot, although it is a relatively large truck, but it is not easy to put six equipment and pipe parts on the car.

Two SWAT team members carried the equipment, and with the help of Qin Lan and Chen Xin, it took six round-trips to move all the equipment to the compartment of the truck.

"Sister Qin, there are only two seats in the car, you and this Mr. Chen sit in the front, and I will look at the equipment in the back compartment." Seeing that the equipment was loaded into the car, one of the SWAT team members offered to look at the equipment in the car.

The cab of this kind of truck has only one row of seats, and although it is no problem to squeeze three people at a time, four people still can't squeeze in.

Since someone offered to go to the back car, Qin Lan and Chen Xin did not object, nodded and climbed into the cab, and the SWAT team member also went to the back car.

After making sure everyone was seated, the SWAT team member in charge of driving the car lit the engine, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car towards the city.

The last time Chen Xin went out was to Mo Qingyan's house after a snowstorm, and the time didn't have long passed, but the road conditions on the road were worse than the last time he came out.

The wind was howling, goose feathers of snowflakes were smashing directly on the window panes, and everything on the side of the road was covered in a thick layer of snow, except for the charred remains of the buildings, but they were also covered with snow.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the new snow that hits the windows, it's the snow on the ground that is blown up by the wind before it freezes.

Seeing these gray and black snow flakes crashing on the car window glass and making a crackling sound, and were quickly blown aside by the windshield wipers, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh: "The weather is really getting worse and worse now!" ”

"Yes, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and we don't dare to drive fast when we go out on patrol, for fear of being blown sideways." The SWAT team member who was driving heard Chen Xin's emotion and also answered.

Hearing what the SWAT team member who was driving said, Chen Xin asked with some confusion: "What should I do when I usually go out in the urban area?" It's impossible to say that everyone stays in the shelter and doesn't go out, right? ”

"The people in the shelter generally don't leave the shelter, only those of us who need to go out on missions and the search team who come out to collect supplies often go out." The SWAT team member who drove the car said while saying that it was difficult to hide the wind and frost in his tone: "It's good that we come out to patrol and have a car, at least we don't have to blow the wind and get cold, but it's hard enough, and those search teams who came out to collect supplies are really guilty, and they search for ruins in the wind and snow, just to find something that can be used." ”

As he spoke, the SWAT team member couldn't help but shake his head.

Qin Lan and Chen Xin on the side also felt quite empathetic when they heard this, Qin Lan was a special police officer who had to patrol herself, so she naturally understood these hardships and hardships.

However, after saying this, he quickly changed the subject: "As for the traffic problem between the various shelters, this one is okay, since the end of the world, the city has been digging tunnels, and now the underground passage between the city bureau and the city government has been opened to traffic, and the underground passage with the shopping center has also been dug up, and now the final repairs are underway, and it will be completed soon."

With these underground passages, there is no longer a need to run outside in the wind and snow to and from various shelters, and passages connecting other shelters are being built and opened up one after another, and an underground transportation network will soon be formed.

This means that there is no subway in the city, otherwise it will rely on the subway line, which is a ready-made transportation network. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Have you already dug it out?" It seems that the construction efficiency of the city government is very high! ”

"Ah, that's it! It's the end of the world, and a lot of the labor force in the shelter has nothing to do, so digging holes can be regarded as giving them something to do and avoid accidents. The SWAT team member who was driving shook his head suddenly, as if he was deeply touched by this.

Qin Lan on the side took over the conversation and interjected: "There are too many people and too few things in the shelter now, if you can't get most people moving, it is easy to breed various social problems if you are idle." ”

Qin Lan's words were also sensitive, their SWAT team had dealt with too many such things in the past few months.

Of course, Chen Xin understands the problem in this, if people have nothing to do, they will be idle, why do street slickers cause trouble, they are idle.

All pull to move bricks, work from morning to night every day, no time to be idle, to ensure that everyone can be honest.

The three of them chatted like this, and continued to move forward, although the car did not drive fast, but it did not take long to enter the city.

Chen Xin turned his gaze to the car window, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a building on the side of the road actually showing light.

He asked Qin Lan in surprise, "Is that a survivor?" ”

"Well, it should be a survivor who survives independently." Qin Lan nodded.

"There are a lot of people like them?" Chen Xin felt a little incredible.

Although he knew that there must be people in the city who did not enter the official shelter and chose to survive on their own, he originally thought that there should be very few such people.

After all, even he and those friends in the survival group were fully prepared to survive before the disaster struck.

Qin Lan just shook his head at this: "There are a lot of people like this, before the cooling down, we transferred a group of survivors from all over the city to the official shelter, and also received a lot of requests for help, but there are still many people who are still surviving in families or small groups in various parts of the city." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Lan couldn't help but look at Chen Xin and said to him: "If Xiaolong really wants to engage in a black market, it can indeed be done, and there are still many survivors in the urban area who will exchange supplies." ”

Chen Xin nodded clearly, and at this time, the car also drove into the original compound of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
