With the help of Qin Lan and Ding Ning, the work in the shelter was completed much faster than usual when Chen Xin was alone.

Originally, the work that Chen Xin would have to do in a whole day was completed in one morning with the joint efforts of the three of them.

"I didn't expect someone to help, things can be done so quickly, so it'll be fine in the afternoon." Eating lunch, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh a little, sure enough, it was easy for someone to help with things.

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Ding Ning couldn't help but joke at him: "Ah Xin said this, it seems that he wants someone to stay!" Then do you want me and Sister Lan to stay? Or do you just want Sister Lan to stay alone? ”

Ding Ning's words made Chen Xin and Qin Lan both a little shy, but Chen Xin still shook his head and said, "I want both of you to stay, but then it's inconvenient for the two of you to go to work, right?" ”

Although Chen Xin's vehicle upgrade is already underway, considering the distance between Chen Xin's shelter and the city, even if his SUV is upgraded to an ATV, which can drive them to work, it is still not a convenient option.

After all, even if the vehicle modification is completed, driving out frequently in today's environment is still a hassle, not to mention, and it is not a safe choice.

So Ding Ning just ridiculed, and after Chen Xin said so, he skipped this topic.

Seeing that Ding Ning skipped this topic, Chen Xin didn't care, and the three of them were still eating lunch while chatting about other topics.

"Ah Xin, what are you going to do in the afternoon?" Qin Lan took the initiative to ask about Chen Xin's arrangements for the afternoon.

She's not an idle person, and in these circumstances, having nothing to do is a very torturous thing.

"I'm going to continue tinkering with my car in the afternoon and revamping it." Chen Xin answered Qin Lan's question, and also asked her, "Ah Lan, what are you and Xiao Ding going to do in the afternoon?" If you want to play games, you can play as many consoles as you like. ”

Facing Chen Xin's politeness, Qin Lan shook his head and said, "Just play the game, I want to do physical training in the afternoon, I have been lying in the hospital for so long before, and I feel like my whole person is rusty." ”

When Chen Xin heard Qin Lan say this, he didn't stop her thoughts, he just told Qin Lan to pay attention to the wound and didn't say anything more.

Ding Ning, who was on the side, said that he was very interested in transforming the car, and wanted to see how Chen Xin did it, and he also said that he was close to protect Chen Xin.

Hearing Ding Ning say this, Chen Xin didn't stop her, after all, Ding Ning was also sent to protect him, and there was no problem if he didn't worry about guarding him.

After lunch, Ding Ning took the initiative to take over the work of washing the dishes, while Qin Lan went back to the bedroom, ready to take a break and start the afternoon restorative physical training, while Chen Xin sat in front of the computer in his bedroom, checked the design drawings of the vehicle transformation, and turned on the monitor by the way to check the situation outside.

The snow at the gate of the shelter has a tendency to deepen again, and from the perspective of the camera, almost half of the gate of the Chen Xin shelter has been flooded with snow.

Although the city has abundant precipitation throughout the year due to its proximity to the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, as the temperature drops further, most of the new snow now does not come from the sky, but the snow from other places is blown by the wind everywhere.

This is also a reflection of how bad the weather is today, and the loss of sunlight and the loss of power for the atmospheric circulation are further deteriorating.

The vegetation on the surface of the ground has also been burned in the previous fires, and it is impossible for the current environmental vegetation to regenerate, and the wind has lost its resistance and restraint, and has become more and more violent.

In such an environment, human survival will only become more difficult.

Perhaps now because of the pre-disaster material reserves, coupled with the fact that the national system is still in place, it can still ensure that the vast majority of the people who survived can ensure their basic livelihood, and even further improve their living conditions, but this does not mean that everything is over, and the next step is to rebuild after the disaster, and everything is developing in a better way.

In the case of the city, at first glance it seems that everything is working normally, except that the surface is uninhabitable and people have to live in underground shelters, everything seems to be recovering.

As long as the people in the urban shelters are willing to work, they will always have something to eat, and even if they are not willing to do dangerous work, they will not starve to death if they just look for work in the shelters.

But the premise of all this is all based on the fact that there are no problems with the supply of materials in the city.

The city had granaries and stockpiled a lot of food before the disaster, and after the disaster, the official planting areas and shelters planted mushrooms, rats and bread worms were more or less self-sufficient, and although there were only a few types of food, at least they could ensure that they would not starve to death.

But the supply of other sources is very problematic, especially the supply of coal.

Chen Xin still remembers that his mother had a colleague who was from the Northeast, because he met the city's recruiting enterprises in school, and was attracted by the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower depicted in the poem.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't be eaten as food, let alone firewood.

Before the disaster, the city's dense vegetation and forests might have been chopped down for firewood, but after the apocalypse, there was not much left to burn on the surface.

In addition, there is no coal resource in the city, and all coal depends on the transportation from the railway, and once the railway transportation is interrupted, the coal supply of the city will be cut off......

The consequences of this can be imagined by gamers who have played the Ice Vapor Age: at minus 70 degrees, a large number of frostbite and severe patients requiring amputation will appear in one day, and someone will freeze to death in two days.

Underground shelters can be used to protect against the cold and keep some of the cold from intruding, but most of the coal transported into the city is used to generate electricity, in addition to being used for heating.

It's not the eighteenth century in the game, when human beings didn't use electricity on a large scale, and no electricity would have any impact on life, but for modern humans, there was no electricity, but there was no coal in the steam age, and all production and life would be affected or even stagnant.

Especially now that people live in underground shelters, ventilation, heating, lighting, cooking, boiling water...... It can be said that all aspects of life are extremely dependent on electricity, and large shelters need electricity to keep the oxygen plants running.

It can be said that once the external supply of coal resources is interrupted, relying on the city's existing coal reserves, the temporary emergency may be able to support for a few days, but if it takes a long time and triggers a power outage crisis, it will not take three days for the city to have a large number of people in the shelter die.

For Chen Xin, after making a nuclear battery through the system, he has now gotten rid of the trouble of electrical energy, after all, no matter how high the energy consumption of his shelter is, it cannot reach such an exaggerated level of 150KW, he only needs to connect a nuclear battery in the power distribution room of his shelter to ensure the electricity demand of the entire shelter.

But Chen Xin will not feel that other people are the same as him because there is no security threat to his current living environment.

The peaceful life in the city is like a fragile soap bubble or a castle on the beach, and it does look good, but a big wave hits, and any crisis can destroy it all.

Chen Xin only hopes that he is unfounded, and that the city government has enough ability to deal with the crisis.

Otherwise, if the terrorists had not attacked the shelters, but had used the gunpowder used to carry out suicide attacks to destroy the railroads, I am afraid that the city would have been in chaos at this moment.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin's face changed suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, and the worry in his heart became stronger and stronger.

But he sat down again after thinking about it for a while, after all, it was a question he could think of, and he didn't believe that anyone in the city government would think of it.

And railway transportation is the top priority for the city and even the province, especially the materials transported from Hubei Province to the province must pass through the city, if someone destroys the railway, it will be a nightmare.

Therefore, Chen Xin feels that the city government and even the provincial government should have taken precautions against this kind of thing, and it will not be so easy for people to damage the railway.

And it doesn't make much sense to simply blow up the rails, it's just a matter of delaying for a few hours and asking workers to replace the damaged rails and sleepers, and at the level of modern industrial infrastructure, it may take a little time to rebuild a railroad, but if it's just a small section of damaged rails, it really won't take a few hours.

It's just that Chen Xin was still a little worried, so he left the room to find Ding Ning and told her about his worries.

"So Ah Xin, do you think those terrorists may sabotage the railway and threaten the safety of the city's and even the province's railway transportation lines?" Ding Ning understood what Chen Xin meant, but the expression on his face was much more serious than Chen Xin, and he had to confirm with Chen Xin repeatedly.

Chen Xin also said to Ding Ning seriously with a serious attitude: "Regardless of whether they are aware of this problem or not, since we have discovered this problem, it is better to inform your father, otherwise if something really goes wrong, then the matter will be serious." ”

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Ding Ning also nodded: "Then I'll contact my dad immediately." ”
