Chen Xin and Qin Lan, who had put on protective equipment again, left Qin Lan's room carrying the cardboard box delivered by the two SWAT team members, and were going to find Mo Qingyan to exchange for drinks.
However, Qin Lan did not take Chen Xin out via the route he came in before. Instead, he took him through the hall, around the passage to another elevator room, and then took the elevator up to the underground floor.
"The entrance we came in before was specifically for vehicles, and this is the entrance and exit for people." Carrying the box and Chen Xin out of the elevator, Qin Lan also introduced the situation here to him: "In the past, you could take the elevator directly to the ground. , but now that the temperature has cooled down, we can only go to the basement level and then take the stairs out.”
Chen Xin nodded in understanding, but he was curious and pointed to a deep-looking passage on the side, and asked Qin Lan: "Is this the underground passage mentioned before? Where does this lead to?"
"That's the one leading to the city hall. If you go there, you can get there very quickly even by walking. As for the road over there, it's the road to the shopping mall, but it hasn't been repaired yet, so it can't be used. Otherwise, go that way. It would be faster to go to Qing Yan's house." Qin Lan pointed to the passage on the other side.
"Is there a passage to the ground over there?" Chen Xin was curious, because even if that road was closer to Mo Qingyan's house, he wouldn't deliberately open a passage to go to Mo Qingyan's house. Qing Yan's family still had to pass by the ground.
However, Qin Lan shook her head and said: "It's not like that. It's about walking from that road to the shelter in the shopping mall. From there, it will be closer to Qingyan's house. You forgot to go to Qingyan's house before." At home, I always take the bus to the shopping mall and then walk there.”
Qin Lan's words made Chen Xin knock his head and said with emotion: "It's only been a few months, and I actually forgot that Long Niang's house is closer to the shopping mall."
Hearing what Chen Xin said, Qin Lan couldn't help but sigh: "For many people, I am afraid that many people are no longer willing to recall what happened before the disaster, right?"
Chen Xin didn't know how to answer Qin Lan's sigh, so he could only carry the box with her and leave the underground through the stairs leading to the ground.
As soon as the two of them reached the ground, they felt the impact of the strong wind. Even though they were carrying a cardboard box, they had to stagger twice before they could stand still. The cardboard box in their hands also fell instantly. There was a layer of snowflakes.
Chen Xin pressed his protective mask, turned on the headlamp he wore specially, wiped off the ice and snow on the surface, looked at Qin Lan, and made a forward gesture to her.
Qin Lan nodded and said nothing. She just raised her hand and made an OK gesture, signaling Chen Xin to move forward.
The two stepped on the thick snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked forward.
Because of the strong wind and the fact that Chen Xin did not have a portable radio, neither of them spoke and only communicated through gestures.
However, with the new headlamp that can illuminate the surroundings, there is no risk of getting lost.
Mo Qingyan's home was not far from the city bureau's shelter. Although it was difficult to walk in the snow and they were still carrying cardboard boxes, they still arrived at Mo Qingyan's home half an hour later.
"Alan? Axin? Why did you two suddenly come here?" After entering the shelter of Mo Qingyan's family, Mo Qingyan showed great surprise after Chen Xin and Qin Lan took off the masks on their faces. .
"I came to the city to help the SWAT team install the ground source heat pump. A Lan's colleague asked her to exchange wine, so I came with him." Chen Xin explained to Mo Qingyan why he was here, and then put himself The box he and Qin Lan brought was pushed in front of Mo Qingyan.
Qin Lan took out a tactical knife from his body, opened the box, and said to Mo Qingyan: "The people in the team wanted to drink, so they gathered these things. I don't know what they gathered, Qingyan Just give it to me, just bring me two bottles of wine to send them away."
Only then did Mo Qingyan figure out what was going on, so she squatted down and looked at what was in the box Qin Lan opened.
"Energy bars, standard rations... basically these are the things. They should have brought their extra rations." Qin Lan took a look at the contents of the box and made a quick judgment.
Even the members of the SWAT team don't have much supplies to exchange in this apocalyptic world. These rations should be saved from their own mouths.
This can be seen from the fact that there are a lot of energy bars in the box. They must have dug out all the energy bars from their own rations, plus a few squeezed out standard rations, to make up for this. A box of stuff.
Looking at this box of things, Mo Qingyan couldn't laugh or cry, but she still counted the number and said to Qin Lan: "These things are okay. What kind of wine does your teammate like to drink, Alan? I have more foreign wine here, and the stronger one is vodka." And whiskey, how about I give you a bottle... no, two bottles of Red Label."
Hearing Mo Qingyan's change of words, Qin Lan shook her head and said, "Just one bottle is enough. Whiskey has to be mixed with water anyway. One bottle of wine is enough for them, so there's no need to give me an extra bottle for my sake."
When Mo Qingyan saw what Qin Lan said, she didn't insist. She just nodded and asked Mo Qingxin to get the wine.
The three of them sat down in the living room of Mo Qingyan's house. Chen Xin asked Mo Qingyan, "Long Niang, how have you considered the ground source heat pump I told you last time?"
"Well, I've thought about it, I'd better install one. When the weather gets better in two days, Xiaoxin and I will dismantle the two outdoor units of the air conditioner and send them to you, Ah Xin." Mo Qingyan was there. After Chen Xin told her about this last time, he really thought about it seriously and finally decided to install a ground source heat pump for himself.
When Chen Xin heard what she said, he nodded happily: "Okay, when the two sets of aquaponics equipment that the old farmer promised me are in place, I will send them to you after everything is ready."
"Then I'll worry about the ingredients." Mo Qingyan nodded, with a smile on her face, but looking at Qin Lan sitting next to Chen Xin, she said deliberately as if she was joking: "Now that the deal is settled, I'll turn around later Send Xiaoxin to you."
Qin Lan felt strange when she heard this, and quickly asked Mo Qingyan: "Qingyan, why did you send Qing Xin to A Xin?"
"Eh? Didn't Axin tell you? In addition to the materials, the price of the equipment I exchanged with him also included Xiaoxin!" Mo Qingyan looked at Chen Xin and Qin Lan with evil intentions and sighed deliberately. Said: "Hey, if I want to exchange with A Xin, what can I do without some good things? I can only use my sister to make up for it."
Hearing Mo Qingyan say this, Chen Xin suddenly turned green. (End of chapter)
