The people in the four cars were obviously unwilling to be tricked like this, and immediately chased after them after reacting.

However, none of the four cars they had caught up, and one car remained where it was, presumably trying to get the capsule away.

Chen Xin saw the pursuers behind him through the picture captured by the drone, but he didn't care too much, if it was just this level of chase, his car was not afraid of anyone.

"Go and ask if you have brought all the things, and if nothing is missing, we will leave." Chen Xin looked at the astronaut on the side and motioned for him to ask Zhang Chengguang if there was anything missing, but the main thing was to see Zhang Chengguang's state, Chen Xin saw him take off his protective clothing just now.

The astronaut nodded and left, while Chen Xin controlled the car and moved forward, although the three cars behind him followed closely, they couldn't catch up with Chen Xin.

The reason why he didn't leave at high speed was just because he was worried that Zhang Chengguang still had something missing.

If there is really something that needs to be picked up, then Chen Xin will unceremoniously crash and stop all the three cars that chased out here, and then drive back to solve the last car, and then pick up the things.

The reason why he didn't do this just now was because Zhang Chengguang was not in the car, and if Chen Xin went to hit someone, he would be in a big loss if he encountered any danger.

"Lao Zhang said that the data storage has been brought up, and although the things in the return capsule are valuable, they are of little use to ordinary people." The astronaut looked at the data memory brought back by Zhang Chengguang, and then came back to explain the situation to Chen Xin: "In addition, Lao Zhang brought up the self-defense pistol prepared for us in the return capsule, and he said that when you send us to the place, the pistol can be left for you." ”

For astronauts, a pistol is nothing, and it is not a big deal to give it to Chen Xin as a reward.

Of course, they wouldn't do this before the disaster, but after what happened just now, Zhang Chengguang obviously had a clear understanding of the current situation and environment, and a pistol in exchange for Chen Xin's help was a very cost-effective deal in his opinion.

Chen Xin didn't care about this, just nodded, sped up and shook off the three cars that followed behind, then readjusted the direction on the map and drove towards Chibi City according to the original plan.

————————————————

After such a big crisis, Chen Xin and the three astronauts also became acquainted, and also knew the names of the other two astronauts besides Zhang Chengguang, Zhao Wu and Zhang Yao.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Chen Xin returned to the living cabin, and the six data memories that Zhang Chengguang removed from the return cabin were placed on the table in front of him.

Looking at the six black brick-like memories, Chen Xin didn't show too much curiosity, but just greeted Zhang Chengguang and the other two astronauts and asked, "It's almost lunch time, what do you want to eat?" ”

Hearing Chen Xin say to eat, the expressions on the faces of the three astronauts became vivid.

For most of the year, they have eaten space food in the sky, although the astronauts are treated very well, and the things they eat are also nutritious, the taste is also good, and there are even a variety of dishes to choose from, but they still miss the food on the ground even more.

It's just that Chen Xin looked at their vivid expressions, but poured a basin of cold water on them: "I brought quite a lot of food, including canned food and shelter food, as well as some energy bars, and it is still enough to eat." ”

"Canned food, energy bars?" The three astronauts looked at each other, and finally Zhang Chengguang asked, "Is there a shortage of materials to this extent now?" Doesn't the state have emergency reserves, such things as meat and vegetables? How did it get to the point where there were only cans and energy bars? ”

"National emergency reserves? I don't know about this, my city may not have used it. Chen Xin made a shrugging gesture, took out a shelter food from the cupboard and put it on the table under the puzzled eyes of the three astronauts: "This is a standard shelter food, which contains rice from the reserve before the disaster, rat meat and mealworms raised in captivity after the disaster, mushrooms from the underground greenhouse, and a small amount of fresh vegetables."

Such a standard shelter food is all the food that the survivors in the current shelter can get in a day, and the two energy bars in it have to be received by people who go out to work, and ordinary people only have one. ”

The situation introduced by Chen Xin obviously shocked the three astronauts who had just landed, but it is no wonder that the disaster had not really come when they went to the sky, and the supply of materials or something could be said to be normal.

And when they were in the sky, they were also eating standard astronaut supplies, although they had some predictions about the situation on the surface, but they didn't expect that the conditions would really become so difficult.

"Let's eat this, this should be enough for the three of us." Zhang Chengguang picked up the shelter food on the table and decided that the three of them would eat this shelter food, which could be regarded as adapting to the current life of shortage of materials in advance.

Chen Xin smiled, waved his hand, and took out dehydrated vegetables and rice from the cupboard, as well as a canned luncheon meat: "Although the official shelter does eat the one in your hand, I still have something else, and there is really no fruit, but there is still a little dehydrated vegetables and rice, and the canned food is luncheon meat, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

As he spoke, Chen Xin put a pot on the induction cooker on the cooking table and prepared to make lunch.

"This ...... What a break for you! Zhang Chengguang looked at the food that Chen Xin took out, and could only say a few polite words like this.

After all, if what Chen Xin said was true, then the food he took out now could be regarded as a very sumptuous meal in the current world.

However, this also made the three astronauts feel deeply worried about the current situation of Yan Guo.

————————————————

After lunch, Chen Xin still drove through Chibi City according to the original plan, and unexpectedly discovered the shelter in Chibi City, but neither Chen Xin nor the three astronauts in the car wanted to stop and communicate with the official shelter in Chibi City.

Chen Xin did not need to stop to replenish because he had sufficient supplies, while the three astronauts felt that the data they carried was too important, and that it was better to have more than less, and it was much better to go directly to the three towns than to waste time in such a county-level city.

After all, Chibi City is only a county-level city, and even if they contact the local county government and the official shelter, the help they can get is very limited, at most they can replenish a little supplies or send a few police or armed police to protect them.

But for Chen Xin and the three astronauts, there is actually no need or significance.

Rather than attracting unnecessary attention just to change a few people to help, it is safer to go directly to the three towns.

So they quickly passed through the city of Chibi, and drove forward along the road where there were no traces of the road at all.

Zhang Chengguang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the pitch black outside the car window and asked Chen Xin: "Have you lived in such an environment for most of the past half a year?" ”

"It's not quite, it was okay at the beginning, the first month because the meteorite just hit, there were fires everywhere, and I couldn't get out, so I stayed in the shelter and held back, except for a little harder, but it was okay." Chen Xin was chatting with Zhang Chengguang while driving the car, and he found that Zhang Chengguang was actually a very talkative person: "After the first month passed, the temperature was not very low, and the environment at that time was not as bad as it is now, so most people took advantage of this time to come out to collect materials for exchange."

However, the network has been disconnected, and the mobile phone can't get through, only some official wired calls can still be called, and the situation in other places is difficult to obtain, and I don't know the situation in other places, but the city government where I am located can still guarantee the supply of materials, although life is a little harder, but it is still alive, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. ”

"Sounds pretty good?" Zhang Chengguang couldn't help but show a little surprised expression, according to what Chen Xin said, the situation is indeed not bad.

Chen Xin also nodded, affirming his words: "The first few months were indeed quite passable, basically the same as in the seventies and eighties or a little earlier, and the food was still guaranteed, overall it was really good."

However, after the temperature dropped, it was more difficult to endure, with a low temperature of dozens of degrees below zero, unless there were enough warm clothes or protective equipment, otherwise people would freeze in less than half an hour when they went outside.

Although the underground shelter can withstand some of the cold, it can still freeze people to death without heating, and the low temperature environment has greatly affected both crop growth and animal breeding, and a friend of mine almost destroyed his greenhouse. ”

"Cold, dark ......" Zhang Chengguang's mood became a little complicated and uncomfortable, and the self-blame in his heart came up again, if their mission had not failed, maybe there would have been no suffering of all this.

Chen Xin seemed to see his thoughts, and said to him: "Don't take the responsibility too much on yourself, you have fulfilled your responsibilities and done what you can do, as for becoming like this, although no one wants to, but since things have become like this, let's look forward!" Trying to live and live the present life is the most important thing. ”

"Thank you!" was comforted by Chen Xin, Zhang Chengguang smiled at him, but he still couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

How can such a thing be able to be overcome with a few words of comfort? Maybe you have to wait for Zhang Chengguang to figure it out for himself.

Chen Xin did not continue to be entangled, and continued to drive, moving along the dark and indistinguishable "road".
