The next trip can be described as lackluster, although there are four more people in the car, but it does not make Chen Xin's journey much changed.

Compared with Zhang Chengguang and the three astronauts, Chen Xin didn't have much trust in Zeng Liu and the four of them, so he didn't let them help drive.

Moreover, among the four of them, Zeng Liu and Lao Tang can drive, but Lao Tang obviously does not have the professional skills to recognize radar scanning images, even if he is allowed to drive, he is not very good at using these equipment on Chen's new car, which may cause danger.

However, relatively speaking, it is not without benefits, at least someone washes the dishes and cooks, which saves him a lot of trouble for Chen Xin, who has injured a hand now.

Originally, Chen Xin's plan was to put down Zeng Liu and the others in the next county, but things were just as he expected before, this county was also the same as Zeng Liu's previous county, all the population was evacuated, and there were only a few survivors in the county who were stranded.

Chen Xin didn't have the idea of dealing with these people, nor did he contact them, he just scanned the county seat with radar, and when he saw that there was no one in the county, he turned the car around and continued his trip.

"Mr. Chen Xin, are there any other shelters ahead?" Sitting in the passenger seat of the cab, Zeng Liu saw that Chen Xin did not stop in this county, and asked him a little worriedly.

Zeng Liu was very scared, afraid that there was actually no other refuge, Chen Xin sent them down all the way, and it was very likely that there would be no next refuge at the end of the road.

However, Chen Xin was not worried about this, just shook his head and said: "It is estimated that there is no more in Hubei Province, but there should be a refuge in Anhui Province." The place I want to go to is a relatively important city in Anhui Province, and even the county seat at the bottom has a railway, so it should not be possible to move all the population away. ”

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Zeng Liu was still apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, just nodded and closed his mouth.

In fact, this is also the worry of Lao Tang and Sister Ning, after recovering physically, Sister Ning, who was the backbone of the four before, called Zeng Liu and Lao Tang together to discuss what they should do next.

Whether it was Zeng Liu, Lao Tang and Sister Ning, they could all feel that Chen Xin had no intention of taking them in, and it was only because Zeng Liu had treated his injuries with them.

I didn't get them out of the car now, but I felt that there was a shelter in front of me, and I just needed to put them down when the time came, and Chen Xin's injury was not healed yet, and he needed someone to help take care of him.

When they first left, they didn't have this kind of worry, but they were just immersed in being able to leave the dead and silent county town, okay

But along the way, no new shelter was discovered, which inevitably made their expectations slip and become uneasy.

After all, the fact that there is a shelter in front of him has always been said by Chen Xin himself, Zeng Liu and they have long been cut off from the outside world, and they have no concept of these situations at all, so it is not strange that they feel that there may be no other shelter anymore.

Zeng Liu's previous inquiry also wanted to probe Chen Xin's bottom, they were very afraid that Chen Xin would really drive them out of the car, in that case, the four of them would definitely not survive.

But it is clear that Zeng Liu's temptation did not lead to anything.

This inevitably cast a shadow on the hearts of Old Tang and Sister Ning.

Only Xiao Yezi didn't have much feeling about this because he was relatively young, but he was worried about continuing to study when he arrived at the shelter.

Chen Xin didn't know about Zeng Liu's anxiety and worry, and even if he did, it was unlikely that he would comfort them or do anything.

In the final analysis, Chen Xin's thoughts about Zeng Liu and these people are still just to help them, and they can save them, but they will not deliberately care about anything, let alone how much they care about them.

————————————————————

Although the snow made the mountain road difficult, after a few days of delay, Chen Xin still arrived at the border of Hubei and Anhui without any problems.

"It seems that there is indeed no new shelter in Hubei Province, so we will go to Anhui Province next." Chen Xin looked at the boundary monument on the side of the road that was buried by more than half of the snow, and shook his head helplessly.

"Will there be no refuge in Anhui Province as well?" Zeng Liu looked at the boundary monument on the side of the road with apprehension, as well as the almost unclear slogan "Welcome to Hubei Province" next to the boundary monument, which had been damaged, and his mood became very complicated and worried.

Chen Xin shook his head, he was not worried about this, but said to Zeng Liu: "Don't worry about this, there must be shelters in Anhui Province, and Hubei Province has moved the population of the two counties because of inconvenient transportation, and there are railways, highways and airports where I want to go here in Anhui Province, and the transportation is still very convenient, so there is no need to move the population away."

And if there is no new shelter, it's a big deal that you stay in my car for a while, and when I return to the three towns, I will pass by the three towns and put you in the three towns. ”

"Three Towns...... Is this really okay? Hearing Chen Xin mention the provincial capital of Hubei Province, Zeng Liu couldn't help but be a little excited.

Although he is worried that there is no other refuge, the three towns still have a deep status for the people of Hubei Province, and in Zeng Liu's consciousness, if there is a refuge in Hubei Province, the three towns must be one of them.

"Nothing, nothing, anyway, I'll send you to a functioning official vault." Chen Xin set the tone for this matter and did not say anything more.

Left and right is just where to put Zeng Liu and their affairs, for Chen Xin, even if he still takes them on the return trip, it is not a big deal to put them down in the three towns.

It's just that if he does this, Chen Xin feels that his car still needs to be renovated again, after all, after receiving his parents, the space in the car may not be enough, and he doesn't want Zeng Liu and these people to have too much contact and intersection with his parents.

While thinking about these things, Chen Xin drove the car across the border between Hubei Province and Anhui Province and entered the territory of Anhui Province.

Anhui Province is Chen Xin's hometown, although he went to Hunan Province with his parents when he was four years old and lived there for nearly 30 years, his hometown has always been his hometown.

Although in Chen Xin's impression, his hometown is a poor place and quite dilapidated, and every time he comes back for the New Year, there is always inconvenience here and there, but the relatives at home have lived here for generations.

The elders who love themselves, the other relatives of the family, all live here.

Although I don't like this place very much, this is Chen Xin's hometown anyway.

And the most important thing is that Chen Xin's parents are here, and he has to take them back no matter what.

After crossing the provincial border, the road is still the same bumpy and difficult, but there is no difference because of the boundary between Hubei Province and Anhui Province.

Especially Chen Xin's walk on this road, whether it is in Hubei Province or Anhui Province, it belongs to the mountain road that passes between the mountains, it was okay before the disaster, but now this kind of snow covers the mountain, that is, Chen Xin's tracked car, ordinary cars do not have the ability to pass at all.

"Mr. Chen Xin, do you know where to go to find your parents?" Zeng Liu was a little curious about this question.

After all, everyone understands this situation now, transportation and communications have long been cut off, Chen Xin traveled through the four provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei and Anhui to pick up his parents, spent so much energy and cost, and even broke a hand, how can he be sure that he will be able to receive his parents?

Chen Xin nodded and said, "Before the disaster, I still had contact with my parents, and their location was in the mountains of my hometown, where a small shelter was also built.

The shelter was built according to my suggestion, and all aspects of food, water, and heating were considered, and it was basically the same as the shelter I lived in, and I was able to survive, and so could my parents.

And the people living in that shelter are all relatives from my hometown, so they can take care of my parents in any matter, and there will be no problem. ”

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Zeng Liu didn't ask any more, just nodded, and didn't say anything to hit Chen Xin.

Although in Zeng Liu's heart, he still felt that Chen Xin's parents were not necessarily alive, or that he could successfully receive his parents.

Before Zeng Liu met Chen Xin, although her companions were only Lao Tang, Sister Ning and Xiao Yezi, as well as the group of wanderers who could not be regarded as companions, there were not only a few of them before this.

It was only after the evacuation of the county that they lacked food, clothing, materials, medicines and effective medical treatment, so that many people died of illness, starvation, and freezing.

Zeng Liu clearly remembered that one of his friends just fell asleep and didn't wake up the next day.

And more companions didn't even have a chance to sleep and die like this, Zeng Liu once watched a child cry and say to himself that he didn't want to die, but he still died of illness.

So it is not surprising that Zeng Liu has a pessimistic attitude towards whether Chen Xin's parents can survive, because she has seen too many tragedies and has long been pessimistic about the world in her heart.

However, Zeng Liu is not the kind of person who can't speak, and it is impossible for this kind of cold water to be said to Chen Xin so directly.

After all, if Chen Xin was angry, he would directly drive them out of the car, but Zeng Liu couldn't afford the price.

So after skipping this topic, Zeng Liu fell silent.

Chen Xin didn't know what Zeng Liu was thinking, and if he did, Chen Xin might really kick her and her companions out of the car, even though Chen Xin was not a cruel person.

In fact, Zeng Liu's worries about Chen Xin were also there, but before seeing his parents in person, Chen Xin was full of hope in his heart, and the idea of things going in a bad direction was minimized.

In any case, people will always expect things to go for the better, and no one will expect things to go for the bad.
