Now that you have decided to go out, the first thing to check is of course the means of transportation.
Chen Xin's car is an SUV. He doesn't even need to fold down the rear seats. Loading two hundred kilograms of vegetables in the trunk is a piece of cake. But if he wants to put a refrigerator in, it exceeds the capacity of the car. , because the refrigerator cannot be tipped down.
Therefore, even if Chen Xin got a refrigerator through material exchange, how to get the refrigerator back is still a problem that needs to be considered.
Maybe strap it to the roof of the car? Or should I stick it diagonally in the trunk and tie it up with a rope
Chen Xin thought about this problem. It is not easy to transport a refrigerator in an SUV.
However, this problem is not particularly urgent. As long as Chen Xin can get the refrigerator, there is still a way to get the refrigerator back.
After all, he has lived in this city for so many years and has a lot of friends. In this apocalyptic environment, it is not impossible to exchange two cabbages for someone to help him pull the refrigerator.
It's just that Chen Xin is not sure how many of his friends can help instead of hiding in official shelters and struggling to survive.
Although the car had been parked in the shelter for a month, and there was a layer of dust on the surface, the car was in pretty good condition. Chen Xin checked it and found no problems. He just had to fill up the tank and he was good to go.
After checking the car, all Chen Xin needed to prepare was himself.
Although the external environment is currently uncertain, corresponding protection work still needs to be done. For example, whether there are toxic gases in the outside air and what the temperature is. These issues need to be considered.
Although Chen Xin owns a car, considering various problems that may arise, personal protection must be done well.
So Chen Xin dug out his old outdoor equipment. All the clothes and trousers were of the type that could tighten the cuffs, collars, and trouser legs. Such clothes can not only repel mosquitoes outdoors, but also play a very good role in waterproofing and heat preservation. We know that once clothes get wet outdoors, they will quickly lose their temperature.
Even in summer, losing heat in the wild is a very dangerous thing. Now that the external environment is likely to be the same as winter, insulation becomes even more important.
In addition to thick and warm clothes, Chen Xin also put on his own gas mask out of concern for the outside air.
You must know that global fires have occurred before, and the toxic and harmful gases produced by the fires are still permeating the air. Chen Xin does not want to use his body to fight the smog.
After preparing these things, Chen Xin hesitated for a moment before opening his weapons cabinet.
Although the Yan State government had not collapsed before Chen Xin entered the shelter, and it still maintained a complete administrative structure and was actively organizing people to enter the shelter for refuge, no one could say what the environment outside was like now.
Perhaps officials can still maintain the previous law and order in the shelter, but what about after leaving the shelter
Chen Xin doesn't think that the present is as stable and peaceful as it was in the past.
And it doesn't take much to bring a self-defense weapon. It's better to be prepared than to be caught blind when you are actually in danger.
After sorting out the EDC equipment he usually carried and hanging it on his body, Chen Xin took a dagger from the weapon cabinet and inserted it into his lower back. After thinking about it, he inserted another dagger into his waist. In his trouser legs, he finally took out the pen-shaped swing stick that he usually hung on his keychain.
Chen Xin is somewhat confident in his own fighting ability. He believes that with these things, as long as the opponent does not have a gun, he can still handle two or three people.
However, this also made Chen Xin a little concerned about the option of adding gun manufacturing capabilities in the previous weapon cabinet upgrade plan. If there is a gun at this time, the sense of security will be greatly improved.
But all the survival points accumulated by Chen Xin this month were lost to the water supply system. He only has 28 survival points left on him. If he wants to upgrade the weapon cabinet, he will have to wait until next month.
Chen Xin didn't think much about it. After getting everything ready, he put two large plastic boxes filled with vegetables into the trunk of the car, along with four large 25-liter plastic buckets, and then opened the The door to the shelter.
These large plastic barrels were intended to be used by Chen Xin to hold gasoline. Now the only source of energy in the shelter is the 4,000 liters of gasoline he had stored, but 300 liters have now been used.
In addition to adding 50 liters of oil to his car today, Chen Xin's remaining gasoline reserve has been reduced by nearly one-tenth. Under such circumstances, Chen Xin obviously needs to replenish gasoline.
There are two doors to the shelter. After Chen Xin opened the inner door, he started the car and drove into the corridor connecting the shelter to the outside world.
Chen Xin, who drove into the corridor, stopped the car, got out of the car and closed the door at the end of the shelter, then put on a gas mask and walked forward, standing in the gap between the shelter and the outside world. In front of the gate.
Chen Xin took a deep breath and put his hand on the wrench used to open the door.
A month ago, Chen Xin closed the door with his own hands and isolated himself from the outside world. Now a full month has passed since the meteorite impact a month ago.
What will the outside world look like after the disaster has raged? How many people survived this disaster? How is the situation outside now
All kinds of questions filled Chen Xin's mind, making him confused and even a little afraid to open the door, because he was afraid that when he opened the door, the whole world would have been destroyed, and he would become the world's The only surviving human being.
Although this possibility is really slim, with such a small probability of a meteorite hitting the Blue Star happening, Chen Xin felt that he could not rule out the option of destroying the world.
But even so, he still had to open the door and confirm with his own eyes what the outside world was like.
Taking another deep breath, Chen Xin turned the wrench on the door hard, opened the door bolt, and then pulled hard!
The door opened.
However, there was no light coming in from outside.
What appeared in front of Chen Xin's eyes was an extremely dark sky. Although it should be morning, the sky was dark as if it was going to be dark soon. The entire sky was covered with gray-black clouds, and a meteorite could be seen from time to time. It penetrated the clouds and hit the ground with a long trail.
The earth was now charred black and gray, with traces of burning everywhere and covered with gray dust.
This is the world after the meteorite impact, a doomsday world that is familiar yet unfamiliar to Chen Xin. (End of chapter)
