After handing two boxes of vegetables to Mo Qingyan, she exchanged them for a box of canned luncheon meat, a box of canned pork, a box of rum, a hundred liters of gasoline and a large freezer.
A new SUV with gasoline and exchanged supplies could fit it in, but he couldn't get back the large freezer. The SUV really couldn't fit such a big thing.
However, Mo Qingyan was very generous and agreed to use Chen Xin's car to help transport the freezer to his shelter. She didn't even need his help to pay for the freight. After all, for them in the city, gasoline was relatively easy to get. .
After settling all this, Chen Xin also gave up the idea of continuing to inquire about the situation in the city. Originally, he planned to take vegetables to other shelters in exchange for supplies, but since he could exchange them for what he wanted at Mo Qingyan's place There is no need for him to go to other large shelters.
After all, the few vegetables he had were enough to feed Mo Qingyan and the others for a month in a small shelter with only a few people, but if they were given to a large shelter, it might not be enough for even one meal.
Under such circumstances, if you go to a large shelter to exchange supplies, people may not take it seriously, and the supplies you get in exchange may not be as much as what you get from Mo Qingyan, and you may also be worried about them.
Although the urban shelters are still maintaining order under the control of the city government, in the current apocalyptic situation, the officials want to requisition your greenhouse, and the whole city will work hard to supply supplies and let you move to a large greenhouse. Shelter, leave the greenhouse to professionals, etc. Does Chen Xin have room to resist
Although this possibility is not high before the current social order collapses, since the risk of this possibility cannot be ruled out and there is no need to go to a large shelter to exchange supplies, Chen Xin can naturally save himself less trouble. Just less trouble.
As for communicating with the large shelter, this is inevitable, but before finding a safe transaction method, Chen Xin felt that it would be better to avoid communicating with the large shelter for the time being.
And the current situation in the urban area... is actually not as optimistic as it appears.
As Chen Xin drove back, he thought about the information he had heard from Mo Qingyan before and analyzed the current situation.
"The train station is still operating now, and trains will come in every once in a while carrying coal and a small amount of materials, allowing the city government to ensure the operation of the thermal power plant. Then the power supply in the urban area should be no problem. Even if the temperature continues to drop, rail transportation should still be It can be guaranteed." Chen Xin tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and said to himself that he was quite optimistic about the situation of the train station, one of the three major refuges.
The train station refers to the city's former old passenger train station. Underneath it was the city's earliest underground shopping plaza, but it was later converted into an underground hotel after the depression subsided.
The place there is quite large, and there are several large shopping malls around it. The city government deliberately connected the surrounding area and transformed it into a quite large shelter.
In addition, they are backed by the train station as a transportation hub. Under the current circumstances, their importance is self-evident. The city government will definitely ensure that the train station can operate normally, so the situation of the shelter should be good.
But the old train station is indeed quite old, and the underground space has been renovated several times. Although the underground space must have been renovated when the official shelter was built before, it is an indisputable fact that the facilities are aging.
Therefore, the conditions of the train station shelter may be good, but the living environment is probably the worst among the three major shelters.
As for the other two shelter shopping malls and pedestrian streets, these two places have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The shopping mall shelter is the large shelter near Mo Qingyan's home. It is mainly a large shopping mall built in recent years. The underground was originally a parking lot and a large shopping supermarket, and the shopping supermarket itself also has a logistics center. It does have quite an advantage in terms of material storage.
Before the disaster, the city government had transferred a large amount of food from the city's national granary and distributed it to various shelters. Because there were sufficient storage conditions in the shopping mall, a considerable amount of food was distributed, and several surrounding communities distributed it. The food that arrives is basically stored here.
However, the problem with the shopping mall is that it is not very big. After all, it is a newly built shopping mall in recent years. It is surrounded by residential areas, so the space is really not big.
Even if it connects the underground garages of several surrounding communities and connects the surrounding area into one area, the place is only so big and the capacity to accommodate the population is limited.
On the other hand, the pedestrian street was a civil air defense project built when the previous mayor was in office. Two streets were hollowed out underground, an underground pedestrian street was built, and the original old pedestrian street was transformed into an underground square.
In addition, it is the most prosperous commercial area in the city. There are many large shopping malls and they are connected to each other underground. It can be said that it is equivalent to an underground city in itself.
Moreover, it was built in accordance with the standards of civil air defense projects. All facilities are relatively complete, and the accommodation capacity is certainly good. It is the one with the largest population among the three major shelters.
But this also brings about a problem, that is, more people have more food, and the area around the pedestrian street is full of shopping malls. There are no large-scale supermarkets and logistics centers like the shopping malls. The material storage capacity is not good, and the food reserves are not enough. Not too much.
Overall, the three major shelters have their own advantages and disadvantages. The railway station relies on railway transportation and is an important channel for the city to obtain supplies from the outside world. Basically, there will be no problems with the survival of this shelter.
The shopping mall is actually not far from the city hall, and a large amount of food is stored here. Even if the connection with the city government was not established during the previous renovation, the city government will definitely find a way to dig out the gap between the two. There is a way.
On the contrary, although the living conditions on the pedestrian street may be the best, because there are too many people and there are no other advantages, it is very likely that they will face the dilemma of lack of food and clothing in the future.
As for other smaller shelters, they also have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to clarify them for a while.
Chen Xin simply didn't think about it anymore. Mo Qingyan's shelter had Ding Ning, and it was backed by the SWAT team and the city police station. It was undoubtedly much safer to go through them to exchange any supplies, and it was also easier to get good things. .
Thinking of this, Chen Xin felt that his next development direction could be to increase the output of the greenhouse, use vegetables to exchange for various materials he needs, use materials to upgrade the shelter, and save as much as possible the expenditure on survival points. More items can also be upgraded.
With this idea in mind, Chen Xin also had new plans for the future development of his shelter. (End of chapter)
