Chapter 136 Entering the urban area
Two days later, the truck driving from the city stopped steadily at the gate of Chenxin's shelter.
With Qin Lan's "help", a total of six ground source heat pump equipment have been manufactured, so Chen Xin also went to the city with Qin Lan this time to help with the installation of ground source heat pumps.
"Sister Qin, we're here to pick you up." Two young special police officers jumped out of the truck and greeted Qin Lan, who was standing at the door of the shelter to greet them.
"Thank you for your hard work, the things are inside, put them in the car first." Qin Lan nodded, and without too much courtesy, she ordered the two special police officers to start moving the equipment. At the same time, she did not forget to introduce to the two: "This is Chen Xin. He will go back with us later. This batch of equipment needs to be installed and debugged."
After hearing Qin Lan's introduction, both of them greeted Chen Xin and then began to move the equipment.
There are many equipment for six ground source heat pumps. Although it is a relatively large truck, it is not easy to put six equipment and pipe parts on the vehicle.
Two special police officers carried the equipment, coupled with the help of Qin Lan and Chen Xin, they also traveled back and forth six times before moving all the equipment into the truck's compartment.
"Sister Qin, there are only two seats in the car. You and Mr. Chen are sitting in the front. I'll watch the equipment in the back car." Seeing that the equipment was installed in the car, one of the special police members took the initiative to ask to watch the equipment in the car.
The cab of this kind of truck only has one row of seats. Although there is no problem with three people squeezing, four people still can't squeeze them out.
Since someone took the initiative to go to the rear car, Qin Lan and Chen Xin did not object, nodded and climbed into the cab, and the special police member also went to the rear car.
After confirming that everyone was seated, the special police officer in charge of driving lit the engine, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car to the city.
Chen Xin went out last time to Mo Qingyan's house after a blizzard. Time has not passed long, but the road conditions on the road were worse than when he came out last time.
The strong wind whistled, and the snowflakes with goose feathers smashed directly on the car window glass. Everything on the roadside was covered with thick snow. Only the burnt building remains still standing, but they were covered with snow.
Don't get me wrong. What hits the car window is not new snowfall, but the snow on the ground is caused by the strong wind before it freezes.
Seeing these gray and black snowflakes hitting the car windows and making a crackling sound, and were quickly scratched by the rain, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh: "The weather is getting worse now!"
"Yes, the wind is getting heavier and heavier. We don't dare to drive the car faster when we go out on patrol, for fear of being blown away." The special police officer driving said when he heard Chen Xin's feelings.
Hearing the driving special police officer said this, Chen Xin asked in confusion: "What should I do if I go out in the city? It is impossible to say that everyone stays in the shelter and doesn't go out, right?"
"People in the shelter generally do not leave the shelter. Only the special police who need to go out for missions and the search teams that come out to collect supplies will go out frequently." The special police officers who were driving said, and their tone could not hide the wind and frost in their tone: "It's okay if we have cars when we go out to patrol, at least we don't have to blow the air and get frozen, but it's hard enough. Those search teams that come out to collect supplies really suffer. They search for ruins in the wind and snow just to find something useful."
As he said that, the SWAT team member couldn't help but shake his head.
Qin Lan and Chen Xin, who were beside him, also empathized with this. Qin Lan was a special police officer who was going to patrol, so he naturally understood these difficulties and difficulties.
However, after saying this, he quickly changed the topic: "As for the traffic issues between the various shelters, this is not bad. Since the end of the world, the city has been digging tunnels. Now the underground passage between the municipal bureau and the municipal government has been opened to traffic, and the underground passage on the shopping mall has also been dug. The final renovation is underway and can be completed soon.
With these underground passages, you no longer have to go back and forth to various shelters against the wind and snow. The passages connecting other shelters are also being built and opened one after another, and an underground transportation network can be formed soon.
This means that there is no subway in the city, otherwise it would be a ready-made transportation network if it relies on the subway line."
Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and showed a surprised expression on his face: "Has it been dug through? It seems that the city government's construction efficiency is very high!"
"Oh, this is what I said! It's all the end of the day. There are so many laborers in the shelter who are idle and have nothing to do. Digging holes can be considered as giving them something to do and avoiding any accidents in their spare time." The special police officer who was driving suddenly shook his head, as if he was deeply touched by this.
Qin Lan, who was standing by, took the conversation and interrupted: "There are too many people in the shelter now and there are too few things. If most people cannot move, it is easy to breed various social problems when idle."
Qin Lan's words were also inspired. Their special police team had handled too many such things a few months ago.
Of course, Chen Xin understood the problem. If people have nothing to do, they will be idle. Why do people in the street cause trouble? They are idle.
I took all the bricks to move, working from morning to night every day, and I don’t have time to be idle, so I can ensure that everyone can be honest.
The three of them chatted and continued to move forward. Although the car was not driving fast, it didn't take long to enter the city.
Chen Xin turned his gaze out of the car window and accidentally caught a glimpse of a building on the side of the road.
He asked Qin Lan in surprise: "Is that a survivor?"
"Well, I should be the survivor of independent survival." Qin Lan nodded.
"There are many people like them?" Chen Xin felt a little incredible.
Although he knew that there must be someone in the city who did not go to the official shelter and chose to survive by himself, he originally thought that there should be very few such people.
After all, even he and the group members in the survival group survived with sufficient preparations before the disaster came.
Qin Lan just shook her head at this: "There are many such people. Before the cooling down, we transferred a group of survivors from all over the city to the official shelter and received a lot of help, but there are still many people who are still surviving in various parts of the city as families or small groups."
Speaking of this, Qin Lan couldn't help but look at Chen Xin and said to him: "If Xiaolong really wants to build a black market, it will be really good. There are still many survivors in the city who will exchange supplies."
Chen Xin nodded clearly, and at this time the car also drove into the original courtyard of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
