This was not Chen Xin's first visit to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but there was a huge difference between the Municipal Public Security Bureau at this time and the one in Chen Xin's memory.
The original glass curtain wall on the office building has been completely shattered, and only a few traces of damage are left to show its original appearance.
However, some maintenance seems to have been carried out on the lowest floors. At least the broken windows are blocked, and there is a faint light shining through, obviously there are still people inside.
I just don’t know whether it’s the survivors who can’t be accommodated in the shelter below, or the police who are still working.
Chen Xin didn't ask much, and the car quickly drove into the underground garage.
Although according to the construction standards of underground garages and civil air defense facilities, the first floor of the underground garage is not a civil air defense bunker, and there is no heavy protective door installed. However, the fire curtain in the garage is still lowered to block the fire that blows in from the outside. The cold wind not only reduces heat loss in the shelter below, but also blocks the intrusion of some harmful substances.
This also makes it somewhat inconvenient for vehicles to enter the garage. They must wait for these frozen fire curtains to be raised before they can enter the garage.
After entering the garage, the SWAT team member who drove the car did not continue to drive down, but drove to a parking space and parked the car in the parking space.
Chen Xin and Qin Lan got out of the car together. The SWAT team member who was driving had already arrived at the back of the car, opened the door of the car, and released another SWAT team member who had been guarding the equipment inside.
"This journey is really rough." The SWAT team members who came out of the car moved their hands and feet, and their bodies were a little stiff.
The carriage is no better than a cab, and there are no serious seats. It is indeed a bit hard to hold on all the way.
At the same time that the four of them got off the car, Uncle Ding, who received the news of their return, also walked out of the elevator next to him with someone.
"Captain! Political Commissar!" Seeing Uncle Ding and his men coming over, Qin Lan and the two special police members also hurriedly greeted them.
"It's been a hard journey, have you brought all the equipment back?" Uncle Ding returned the greeting to the three of them, and at the same time nodded to Chen Xin, and then started to care about the equipment on the car.
Qin Lan nodded quickly and replied affirmatively: "A total of six ground source heat pump equipment, together with all the pipe fittings, are in the car."
The SWAT team member who had been staying in the carriage also hurriedly said: "The six pieces of equipment are intact. I watched them all the way and there were no bumps."
After hearing the answers from Qin Lan and the SWAT team member, Uncle Ding and the political commissar standing next to him looked into the carriage. When they saw six pieces of equipment in the carriage, a smile appeared on their faces.
"Xiao Qin, you have worked hard these days! Come back and have a good rest." The political commissar said kindly to Qin Lan, and soon turned his attention to Chen Xin, smiling at him even more brightly and kindly: "This Is this Comrade Xiao Chen? I’m really sorry for bothering you. Not only do you have to produce equipment for us, but you also come to install it yourself!”
"It's nothing. I'm asking your SWAT team to take care of me during this period. I'm just here to help pack some things. It's nothing." Chen Xin seemed a little unfamiliar with the political commissar's kindness and responded politely. speech.
The political commissar was not dissatisfied with Chen Xin's unfamiliar response. He just nodded with a smile: "No matter what, you are a guest, so you must treat him well. You can go shopping with Xiao Qin first. Let’s have lunch together later. We don’t have anything to entertain here, so the only vegetables we have are in exchange for you, I hope you don’t mind.”
"No, it's not that. In this situation, it's good to have something to eat." Chen Xin did not take the political commissar's politeness seriously. He just nodded with a smile and retreated behind Qin Lan.
Uncle Ding, who was on the side, had already called the people he brought over and began to carry the equipment from the car.
Seeing them starting to move things, Chen Xin reminded Uncle Ding: "Uncle Ding, these pipes and equipment are all numbered. Please ask everyone not to mess up the order when moving."
"Well, I understand, I will let them pay attention." Uncle Ding nodded, turned to look at the people moving things, and said to them: "Did you hear them? Be careful not to mess up the order of things."
After seeing Uncle Ding finish instructing the others, Chen Xin nodded with relief.
Upon seeing this, Qin Lan also said to Uncle Ding and the political commissar: "Captain, political commissar, I will take Ah Xin down first."
After saying that, Qin Lan took Chen Xin to the elevator nearby, and the two SWAT team members from before also quickly followed, and together they took the elevator to the interior of the city bureau shelter.
While pressing the button on the elevator, Qin Lan was also introducing the situation here to Chen Xin: "The City Bureau's shelter has five floors in total. The upper three floors are underground garages, and the lower two floors are underground air-raid shelters built in the last century. .
The underground floor we were in just now is mainly used for parking and storing some supplies. It is not currently used for living.
The second underground floor has been a formal shelter area since the beginning. Because of the civil air defense facilities and the thermal insulation layer reinforced before the disaster, the temperature here is quite suitable. However, there are no people living on the second underground floor. The former administrative units of the Municipal Bureau have been relocated. Here, it is used for daily office work and maintaining the operation of the city bureau.
Starting from the third underground floor is where people really start to live. However, the living area divided by our SWAT team is on the fourth underground floor, in the old air-raid shelter. "
As he was talking, the elevator had already gone down to the fourth underground floor.
Following Qin Lan out of the elevator, they walked through a passage that was obviously an elevator room. They walked into a quite spacious hall.
"This is an underground air-raid shelter built as part of the Third Front during the peak of the Cold War. It was built in accordance with the standards to prevent nuclear attacks. It had been abandoned and stored until this disaster." Qin Lan took Chen Xin through After passing the hall that was obviously in the style of that era, I walked into a passage next to the hall with a number of SWAT team members: "This hall is the central hall of the underground air raid shelter. It connects different areas of the air raid shelter and served as an auditorium in the past. function, but now it has become a transit point.”
"This air-raid shelter is huge!" Following Qin Lan, Chen Xin looked at the passage beside him and couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Lan nodded and said affirmatively: "The entire underground air-raid shelter has been under construction intermittently for more than ten years since the 1970s. It was not until the early 1990s that the construction was stopped. The space below is very large. All the policemen and family members of the Municipal Bureau live there. It’s more than enough. Our SWAT team is only assigned to one of the areas, but it’s almost equivalent to a complete shelter.”
Qin Lan said that she and Chen Xin had already passed through the passage and entered the area where the SWAT team was located. (End of chapter)
