Two days later, the truck driving out of the city stopped steadily at the gate of Chen Xin 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 are 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 into the car first." Qin Lan nodded, and without too much politeness, she ordered the two SWAT team members to start moving the equipment. At the same time, she did not forget to introduce to the two of them: "This is Chen Xin, he will go back with us later, and we need him to install and debug this batch of equipment. "
After hearing Qin Lan's introduction, they both said hello to Chen Xin and then began to move the equipment.
Six ground source heat pump equipment is not a lot of stuff. Although it is a relatively large truck, it is not easy to put six pieces of equipment and pipe parts in the truck.
Two SWAT team members carried the equipment, and with the help of Qin Lan and Chen Xin, it took six trips to move all the equipment into the truck compartment.
"Sister Qin, there are only two seats in the car. You and Mr. Chen sit in the front, and I will look at the equipment in the back car." Seeing that the equipment was loaded into the car, one of the SWAT team members offered to sit in the car. Look at the device.
The cab of this kind of truck has only one row of seats. Although there is no problem in squeezing three people into it, four people still can't squeeze in.
Since someone offered to go to the car at the back, Qin Lan and Chen Xin did not object. They nodded and climbed into the cab, and the SWAT team member also went to the car at the back.
After confirming that everyone was seated, the SWAT team member responsible for driving lit the engine, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car toward the city.
The last time Chen Xin went out was to Mo Qingyan's house after a snowstorm. Not long ago, but the traffic conditions on the road were worse than the last time he went out.
The strong wind howled, and snowflakes as big as feathers hit the car windows directly. Everything on the roadside was covered with thick snow. Only the charred remains of the buildings were still standing, but they were also covered with snow. snow.
Don't get me wrong, what hits the car windows is not new snowfall, but the snow on the ground that was blown up by the strong wind before it solidified.
Seeing these gray and black snowflakes hitting the car window with a soft crackling sound, and then being quickly blown aside by the wiper, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh: "The weather is getting worse and worse now!"
"Yes, the wind is getting stronger and stronger. When we go out on patrol, we don't dare to drive the car too fast for fear of being blown sideways." The SWAT team member who was driving heard Chen Xin's sigh and joined in.
Hearing what the SWAT team member who was driving said this, Chen Xin asked with some confusion: "What about going out in the city? It's impossible to say that everyone stays in the shelter and doesn't go out, right?"
"People in the shelter generally don't leave the shelter. Only those of us special police who need to go out to perform tasks and the search teams who come out to collect supplies will go out frequently." The SWAT team member driving the car said, with a tone that was hard to hide: " It’s good that we have a car when we go out to patrol, at least we don’t have to be exposed to the wind and cold, but it’s hard enough. The search teams who come out to collect supplies really suffer, searching the ruins in the wind and snow, just to find something useful.”
As he said this, the SWAT team member couldn't help but shake his head.
Qin Lan and Chen Xin on the side also felt quite sympathetic after hearing this. Qin Lan is a special police officer who has to patrol, so he naturally understands these hardships.
But after saying this, he quickly changed the topic: "As for the transportation problem between various shelters, this is not bad. Since the end of the world, tunnels have been dug in the urban area. Now the city bureau and the city The underground passage between the two houses has been opened to traffic, and the underground passage to the shopping center has also been dug. The final repairs are now being carried out and will be completed soon.
With these underground passages, there is no need to run outside in the wind and snow to and from various shelters. The passages connecting other shelters are also being gradually built and opened, and an underground transportation network will soon be formed.
This means that there is no subway in this city, otherwise it would rely on subway lines, which is a ready-made transportation network. "
Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a surprised expression on his face: "Has it actually been dug through? It seems that the city government's construction efficiency is very high!"
"Hey, that's what you said! It's the end of the world, and a lot of laborers in the shelter have nothing to do. Digging holes can give them something to do and prevent them from getting into trouble." The SWAT team member driving the car suddenly shook his head, as if he was worried about it. This is deeply touching.
Qin Lan on the side took over and interjected: "There are too many people and too few things in the shelter. If most people cannot be mobilized, idleness will easily breed various social problems."
Qin Lan also said this out of emotion. Their SWAT team had dealt with too many such things in the past few months.
Of course Chen Xin understands the problem. If people have nothing to do, they will be idle. Why do street gangsters cause trouble? They are idle.
They all went to move bricks, working from morning to night every day. There was no time for idleness, so everyone was guaranteed to be honest.
The three of them continued to move forward while chatting. Although the car didn't drive very fast, it didn't take long to enter the city.
Chen Xin turned his sight out of the car window and suddenly caught a glimpse of a light coming from a building on the side of the road.
He asked Qin Lan in surprise: "Is that a survivor?"
"Well, they should be survivors who survived independently." Qin Lan nodded.
"There are many people like them?" Chen Xin felt a little incredible.
Although he knew that there must be people in the urban area who did not enter the official shelter and chose to survive on their own, he originally thought that there would be very few such people.
After all, even he and his friends in the survival group survived by making adequate preparations before the disaster struck.
Qin Lan just shook his head at this: "There are many people like this. Before the temperature dropped, we transferred a group of survivors from all over the city into official shelters. We also received a lot of help, but there are still many people still in the city. In various places, families or small groups work as units to survive.”
Speaking of this, Qin Lan couldn't help but look at Chen Xin and said to him: "If Xiaolong really wants to start a black market, he can really do it. There are still many survivors in the city 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. (End of chapter)
