Qin Lan said that she and Chen Xin had already passed through the passage and entered the area where the SWAT team was located.
"This is my room. The corridor outside is a bit noisy, but it's okay if you close the door at night. I'm not here during the day, so it won't have a big impact." Qin Lan asked Chen Xin to walk into her room, with a smile on her face. Looking a little embarrassed.
Chen Xin didn't mind this. Along the way, although all the people living here were family members of the SWAT team, some children running and making noise in the corridor and pulling ropes to dry clothes were unavoidable.
In the apocalypse, even children have sad faces and cry more than laugh, so Chen Xin doesn't mind what Qin Lan calls "a little noisy".
If it were before the end of the world, Chen Xin would have disliked such a noisy environment. Because of his professional needs and his personality, he was particularly repelled by noisy environments. Otherwise, he would not have left the house in the city and had to move to the suburbs. went.
But now is the end of the world, everyone is crowded in the shelter, and noise is inevitable.
What's more, in the past few months, Chen Xin has been bored in his shelter, with no one to communicate with and no one to disturb him. Over the past few months, he felt that his shelter was too quiet.
At this time, listening to the various sounds coming from around him, Chen Xin felt a sense of life.
"It's nothing. In this current environment, it's good to have such conditions." Chen Xin walked into Qin Lan's room. After she closed the door, she looked at the room.
This room is not big, only about a dozen square meters, roughly equivalent to a university dormitory.
There is a desk and an upright single bed against the inner wall. There are two chairs next to the desk, one facing the desk and one near the bed. At the foot of the bed are two double doors that are also against the wall. cabinet.
In addition, there is a folding round table and several folding stools in the room, but they are all folded and placed against the wall, making the room look quite spacious.
What surprised Chen Xin was that there was a washstand in the corner of the room that he thought should have been eliminated by the times. There were two basins on it and two towels on it, and there were rows of washstands next to it. of four water bottles.
Qin Lan took off his coat and hung it on the hook behind the door. At the same time, he took off his heavy military police boots and put on slippers. He also gave Chen Xin a pair: "Change into slippers. You can sit wherever you want, even if you want to sit down."
Chen Xin followed his words and naturally had to change his shoes.
Because he had to go out, he changed into a pair of heavy boots. It was okay to walk outside, but when he went indoors, his feet still felt a little burnt due to the heating.
While Chen Xin was changing into slippers, Qin Lan picked up a boiling water bottle on the ground and poured some hot water into the basin. After Chen Xin changed into slippers, she said to him: "Come here and wash your face, Ah Xin." Did you bring a face towel? If not, you can use mine."
Since he decided to stay for a few days, Chen Xin certainly wouldn't make the mistake of not bringing towels and toiletries. He took out his toiletry bag from the backpack he was carrying, opened it, took out his face towel and went to the washstand. Xin couldn't help but smile: "The last time I used this washstand to wash my face was when I was in elementary school."
"Stop talking so much, wash your face and I'll take you to dinner." Qin Lan knocked on Chen Xin and urged him to wash his face quickly.
Chen Xin smiled at Qin Lan and said nothing. He just wet the towel and wrung it out, and wiped his face.
"Wash well! What's the point of washing your face if you wipe it like this?" Seeing that Chen Xin just wiped it, Qin Lan was immediately dissatisfied.
Facing Qin Lan's displeasure, Chen Xin smiled and said: "Alan, you told me to wash my face, why don't you wash it yourself? Don't you want to use my face wash? So you'd better wash it first, and I'll wipe it. That’s fine, men aren’t that particular.”
After saying that, Chen Xin put away the towel and sorted out the things he brought.
Qin Lan looked at Chen Xin, feeling a little helpless, but also a little happy, and said nothing more.
After cleaning up, the two people left Qin Lan's room and walked to the SWAT team's cafeteria wearing slippers.
"Just now, Alan, you said that the city bureau's shelter has five floors, but this is the fourth floor. What is the fifth floor below used for? It can't be a greenhouse, right?" Walking into the cafeteria, Chen Xin asked curiously Qin Lan asked.
Qin Lan nodded and admitted: "Well, the fifth floor was excavated during the renovation of the shelter before the disaster. This floor did not exist before. The excavated space was used to grow mushrooms, raise mice and earthworms, and Install an oxygen concentrator, but because these facilities are very important, you generally can’t go down to the fifth floor casually.”
"Oh, I understand." Chen Xin made an understanding expression, but he had a new question: "Alan, didn't you tell me before that the official shelter distributes rations every month? Why? Does the cafeteria still provide food?”
When Chen Xin asked this question, he also looked at the window of the cafeteria where food was served. The aroma of food was exuding there, which made him swallow a little.
"We do receive rations, but the shelter does not allow us to make fires or heat food in the room. In order to avoid unnecessary dangers, the food is heated and served in the canteen. We can do it by ourselves during meal times. Eat." Qin Lan explained to Chen Xin, as if she was afraid that Chen Xin would misunderstand, and added: "This is not an extra food ration from the government department, it is just a centralized supply.
However, each shelter's planting greenhouse will have a part of its output that can be retained by itself, so the canteen can also have extra food. As for what it is, it depends on what materials the shelter has produced. "
Chen Xin raised his eyebrows in disbelief and didn't say much. He just followed Qin Lan to the window of the cafeteria.
"Master, give me two portions of rice." Qin Lan lowered her head and whispered a few words to the master who was preparing meals behind the window. The master nodded and handed over two portions of heated meals on plates.
Qin Lan handed one of the dishes to Chen Xin, then walked with him to an empty table with the dinner plate and sat down, ready to start eating.
Chen Xin looked at the things on the plate with a surprised expression on his face.
There is no difference in ingredients between the food and the standard food he got from the shelter. However, the master chef in the cafeteria here has obviously reprocessed the food. It looks a lot more delicious, and the side dish should be roasted rat with mushrooms. The meat side dishes also make this food look more appetizing.
Feeling a little hungry already, Chen Xin didn't hesitate anymore, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. (End of chapter)
