After leaving the three towns, you can’t see the prosperous urban area along the way.

In fact, if you follow the route of National Highway G318, there are indeed no big cities along the way.

Because the route Chen Xin chose was traveling through the mountainous areas, there was no more developed cities in this area, and the more developed cities in Hubei Province were either distributed in the west of Hubei Province or concentrated along the Yangtze River.

This does not overlap with the direction Chen Xin is going to move forward, so it is not uncommon for him to not see the city.

The road is still similar to the scenery on the road before. It is pitch black everywhere, and there is snow everywhere.

He reached out from the workbench and picked up a piece of dried fruit sent by staff from Hubei Province and threw it into his mouth. Chen Xin was reluctant to chew it, but he just sipped the taste of the dried fruit, which was quite nostalgic.

If you count it carefully, this seems to be the first time Chen Xin has eaten fruit after the disaster. Although it is just dried fruit, it is already a very rare thing.

Just eating dried fruits and recalling the appearance of the three towns and the dark scene along the way, Chen Xin still felt the huge difference.

In big cities, the country has begun post-disaster reconstruction, and ordinary small and medium-sized cities have also recovered from the disaster and began to actively resume production.

Because the country, army and police still exist, everything is not as bad as expected.

But what should the situation look like in a countryside far away from the city?

Chen Xin didn't know and did not investigate, but if he inferred from the scenes he has seen and the information he has, the farther away from the city, the worse the situation would be, right?

After all, the farther away from the city, the fewer places that can be called underground bunkers before the disaster, and most of them may be just the cellars of farmers' homes.

Even in the three months before the disaster, the state urgently built shelters in rural and urban areas. Although it allowed most rural residents to have a place to escape the previous disaster, the time was already very tight when those shelters were built. It is hard to say that the sufficient number of shelters were built and the necessary living conditions were provided.

Shortage of food and clothing, shortage of medical services and medicines, insufficient supply of electricity and fresh water... Chen Xin could even count a lot of possible problems without even thinking about it.

Especially the hypoxia problem that occurred in his city before, the ventilation of the small shelter may be better. In addition, there may be only one or two layers, and the depth may not be enough, so there will be no problems such as carbon dioxide deposition. However, this kind of shelter that is not dug deep enough is difficult to have a good insulation effect.

Even if the temperature can be kept as undispersed as possible, if there are not enough heating facilities inside, it will soon cool down and become like a huge ice cellar.

Although a shelter to block the cold can make many people survive than facing the low temperature of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius directly, people need more high-calorie food to maintain body temperature, and people are more likely to get sick in low temperature environments.

And what consequences will these two lead to... Chen Xin, who has played this game, knows clearly that once the number of hunger and disease reaches a certain level, riots and dissatisfaction will arise.

In the game, the unruly people will die of illness and starve to a certain extent before they will riots will occur and drive away the managers. However, in reality, I am afraid that many problems and conflicts will break out when someone starts to die of illness, making things out of control.

This also made Chen Xin worry about his parents. They lived in their hometown with their relatives, which was just a county town, and their parents and relatives did not live in the city.

Although the people who live together are relatives at home, they have lived together for generations before the disaster, and even the ancestral halls that worship ancestors are the same, so there is no such thing as a mess. Moreover, before the disaster, Chen Xin also specifically told them how to hoard supplies and build shelter, but Chen Xin was still full of worry.

I was just worried that Chen Xin would not be able to walk faster. His current speed was much faster than he expected. He had already walked halfway through the three towns. It only took five or six days to count from the time he set off.

This is much faster than Chen Xin expected. At his current speed, he is confident that he will arrive in Anhui Province within five days. Including the return time, he can just hurry back within one month.

Even if you have something to deal with after receiving the parents, it will take a few days at most, and there will be no big variables.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin felt a little relieved again.

Now he is the only one in the car. Chen Xin must find a way to adjust his emotions so that he should not be too impatient. Otherwise, although the car can accelerate, it is also dangerous if it gets faster.

This can be seen clearly from the road in front of Chen Xin, which was completely covered with snow.

The section of the road in front of me should have been built along the mountain. The road was dug out on the mountain, with a mountain wall on one side and a valley on the other side.

But now with the snow covering the entire road, there is no trace of the road ahead. The snow has turned the entire hillside into a whole, making it impossible to see where the original road is.

"The snow is so thick!" Chen Xin looked at the snow in front of him, frowned, thinking about how he should pass through this section of the road.

The road is covered with snow, so it is impossible to follow the original road unless Chen Xin can clear the snow on the road.

But Chen Xin has the ability and energy to clean up the snow. He might as well find a way to change the road or upgrade his car so that it can drive on such slope-like snow.

Although according to the design, even with such an inclined slope, the tracked chassis has enough grip to ensure that the vehicle does not slide into the valley, it is a bit too risky to drive like that. If you are not careful, you will directly fall into the valley below.

Chen Xin hesitated for a moment and let both reconnaissance drones fly up, intending to scan the entire terrain around him to see if there can be a smooth place so that he can pass.

Although there are mountains around here, the mountains are not steep or steep, and there are relatively flat places in the valley that can be passed through.

However, compared to taking the original road, the journey from the valley is obviously more winding and twists.

But now this is the only option in front of Chen Xin, unless he wants to spend more time on the other side of the highway.

Taking the highway is only a last resort. Although the highway route is straighter and the roads are less undulating, building highways in such places where mountains are everywhere must be full of bridges and tunnels.

The tunnel is easy to say, but the bridge...

Recalling the collapsed bridge that he had seen along the way, Chen Xin directly asked himself to give up this plan.

After all, no matter how outstanding the infrastructure power of Yan Country is, the infrastructure maniac cannot build a road bridge that can withstand the impact of meteorites without collapse.

Soon, the drone sent the scanned results back to the map on the operating table and displayed them in the form of color blocks.

Looking at the yellow and red areas on the hillside, Chen Xin could only turn his attention to the relatively gentle green area in the valley. While controlling the drone to continue scanning forward, he also rebooted the car and continued to move along the green block signs.

There is no danger when scanning like this, but it also makes Chen Xin unable to speed up his speed. He can only slowly squirm forward, and the speed has dropped to 10 kilometers hours, which is comparable to a snail speed.

"This is really hard to walk! Fortunately, there was a river in this valley before, and it was a ditch, otherwise there might not be even a road." Chen Xin shook his head, compared the terrain scanned by the drone with the map stacking, and looked at the original river channel in the valley marked on the map, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just now, I felt that my speed was not slow, but I immediately encountered a situation where I had to slow down. Chen Xin was so amused and crying.

Fortunately, he has a good mentality and has not become impatient because of this situation. He has to force his pass through quickly, but he can accept the current speed of the car.

In this kind of outdoor driving, the speed of driving itself cannot be fast. After all, it is not like driving on the road before the disaster. The road is flat and straight, and there is no pits or mud on the hardened road. As long as you don’t speed up, the accelerator can step on the bottom and rush forward.

When there is no road in the wild, you must first plan a direction and route for yourself, and secondly, you must cope with complex road conditions in various environments.

Problems such as water accumulation and mud are the best solutions. In this apocalyptic environment, these problems connect the sand, gravel, trees, rivers and other obstacles on the road together into snowy road surfaces. Relatively speaking, the road conditions have indeed become single, but they are not better off.

If you have to compare it, driving in such a completely covered area is actually the same as driving in a desert, except that the snow may be a little bit stronger than the desert, and the wheels or tracks will not be so easy to get stuck in.

The snow itself also has hidden dangers such as soft collapse, or even empty spaces under the snow.

This is also the reason why Chen Xin did not start the operating system to drive automatically, but held the steering wheel himself.

After all, a person's judgment and reaction ability are stronger than this rigid operating system.

However, this also made Chen Xin a little annoyed. When he was in the Three Towns before, he forgot to ask them for more resources, so he simply upgraded the operating system on the car to artificial intelligence.

In that case, you will be much more relaxed, right? Chen Xin couldn't help but leave for a moment.
