The steel bars, cement, glass and vacuum pumps that Chen Xin wanted were delivered a week later.
However, this time only Ding Ning came to deliver things, and Qin Lan did not come today.
Ding Ning, wearing a gas mask, jumped out of the car and greeted Chen Xin who rushed to greet her.
Today's weather is really bad, because there is no rain, there are too many pollutants in the air, and it is no longer possible to breathe outdoors without a gas mask.
"A Xin, the things you asked for have been delivered." The voice was a little loud when he was wearing a gas mask, but if the voice was louder, he could still hear clearly: "Steel bars, cement, and the glass and vacuum pump you asked for, It’s really hard to get an aquarium, and all that’s left of the former flower and bird market in the city is a pile of broken glass.”
Hearing what Ding Ning said, Chen Xin didn't take it seriously and nodded to her: "It's okay. I'll process it myself at most. I'll get the things in first."
After saying that, he and Ding Ning moved the supplies in the car.
Because there weren't many things shipped, the two quickly got everything into Chen Xin's shelter.
"It's been such a tough day. I can't imagine how I would live outside without a gas mask." After closing the two three-proof doors, Ding Ning took off the gas mask on his face and let out a sigh of relief.
"Is the situation outside very bad now?" Chen Xin looked at Ding Ning in confusion. He had no need to go out during this period, so he never went out. He didn't know much about the changes in the situation outside. He just felt that the weather today was very bad.
Ding Ning patted his clothes to avoid dust, and then explained to Chen Xin: "Several chemical plants around the city exploded, especially the spherical tank areas of Yanguo Petrochemical. So did your house, Ah Xin." From the chemical plant, you know what happens when that thing explodes."
When Ding Ning said that the spherical tank in the chemical plant exploded, Chen Xin's face turned pale and he nodded speechlessly.
Of course he knew about that thing. His parents used to work in a chemical factory and had a deep understanding of this kind of thing.
In a nutshell, all spherical tanks are national special fire prevention units. Once they explode, each spherical tank will create a mushroom cloud.
"It was a little better when it rained all the time before, and there wasn't that much dust in the air. But the rain has stopped these days, and the temperature is almost below zero, so it's very uncomfortable to stay outside." Ding Ning saw Chen Xin nodding, so he continued. Go down.
In fact, the current external environment can no longer be simply described as difficult. It is already a desperate situation unsuitable for human survival.
Without professional protective equipment and gas masks, people who are exposed to the outside air for half an hour will have severe physiological reactions due to inhaling too much toxic and harmful gases and dust.
Coupled with the low temperature that is now close to zero, even Ding Ning, who has just arrived, is fully armed. Not only does he have a gas mask on his face, but he is also wearing specially issued warm winter clothes.
"Really? Doesn't that mean there are no survivors outside now?" Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh. If the environment was as bad as Ding Ning said, even if there were survivors, they would almost die.
However, Ding Ning shook his head and disagreed with Chen Xin's statement: "There are still some people who survived. Sister Lan and the people from the SWAT team searched for possible survivors in the city and found a lot of them. ”
"They are so lucky to survive!" Chen Xin sighed more and more, lamenting the good luck of these people.
Being able to survive this series of disasters after the apocalypse without a solid shelter requires only a little bit of luck.
It would be even better if they were rescued by the SWAT team when the weather became worse.
However, Ding Ning mentioned Qin Lan just now, and Chen Xin couldn't help but ask: "By the way, why didn't A Lan come over today? Does she have a mission?"
"Sister Lan and the others went to clean up the urban shelters today. The second batch of oxygen-generating equipment distributed by the state arrived, but it was still not enough for all the shelters, so the city government decided to move some of the people in the small shelters to medium-sized shelters. "In the institute." This was not considered confidential information, so Ding Ning did not keep it secret.
Chen Xin understood immediately, but he also asked worriedly: "Can the combined shelters accommodate so many people?"
"No problem. The six medium-sized shelters in the city are designed to accommodate 25,000 people. After the expansion, they can accommodate 30,000 people. Now they are basically not full." Ding Ning shook his head and said no. question, and explained to Chen Xin: "Moving the people in these small shelters, although the place is a bit crowded for a while, is better than living outside without food, clothing, and even oxygen."
Chen Xin can understand the government's actions very well. This is the tradition of the Yanguo government. This country, this government, and this nation have never had the habit of abandoning their compatriots.
"It seems that the country is still prepared! This is a good idea. Gathering people together makes it easier to manage and can also concentrate resources." Chen Xin nodded and agreed with the city government's approach.
Although the darkness in human hearts is deeper than we imagine, and gathering people together like this will cause many problems, it is impossible to say that we are just watching these people die because we are worried that problems will arise.
"My dad said the same thing. Although there are more people and more problems, it is better than the shelters being scattered and not being able to deal with anything in time." Ding Ning did not tell Chen Xin that some things happened in some small shelters. Things that are unspeakable.
Those things are too challenging for human beings to bear. Even just thinking about it makes Ding Ning feel his scalp numb and his back cold.
As for those who do things that challenge the bottom line of human morality, a peanut is the best destination for them.
Ding Ning knew these things, Qin Lan knew them, and even Qin Lan did it herself by feeding those people peanuts, but they did not tell Chen Xin these things.
As for the reasons, there are not so many reasons. If I have to say it, they are the police, and Chen Xin is just a common person.
Of course Chen Xin didn't know these things, but he could imagine some things, so he said to Ding Ning: "In this world, bad things may happen at any time. An Ning, if you have time, help me persuade Long." Mom, let her move in with you. Whatever happens to her, it’s hard to save her.”
"I know, I have also advised Sister Yan, but she is still reluctant to leave her own place." As Mo Qingyan's best friend, it is impossible for Ding Ning not to have advised her: "But the official refuge... To be honest, it means safety. The sex is better, and I can have enough food and clothing. Compared with you private shelters, the living conditions are much worse." (End of Chapter)
