Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

The next itinerary can be described as lackluster. Although there were four more people in the car, it did not make any changes to Chen Xin's journey.

Compared with Zhang Chengguang and the other three astronauts, Chen Xin didn't have much trust in Zeng Liu and the others, so he didn't ask them to help drive the car.

Moreover, among Zeng Liu and the others, Lao Tang is the only one who can drive, but Lao Tang obviously does not have the professional skills to recognize radar scan images. Even if he is asked to drive, he is not very good at using the equipment on Chen's new car, but it may cause danger. .

But relatively speaking, it's not without benefits. At least someone washes the dishes and cooks. For Chen Xin, who has injured a hand now, it saves him a lot of trouble.

Originally, Chen Xin planned to put Zeng Liu and others down in the next county seat, but things were as he expected. This county seat was the same as the county seat where Zeng Liu and the others were. All the population was evacuated. Very few survivors lingered.

Chen Xin had no idea of ​​dealing with these people, nor contact with them. He just scanned the county town with radar. Seeing that there was no one in the county town, he turned the car and continued his journey.

"Mr. Chen Xin, are there any other shelters ahead?" Sitting in the passenger seat of the cab, Zeng Liu asked him nervously when he saw that Chen Xin hadn't stopped in this county.

Zeng Liu was very afraid, afraid that there were no other shelters. Chen Xin sent them all the way down, and it was very likely that there would not be another shelter when he finally reached the end of the road.

However, Chen Xin was not worried about this, just shook his head and said: "There is probably no more in Hubei Province, but there should be shelters in Anhui Province. The place I am going to is considered to be a relatively important city in Anhui Province, even if it is under the There is also a railway in the county seat, so it shouldn’t move all the population away.”

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Zeng Liu was still uneasy, but he didn't say anything more, just nodded and closed his mouth.

In fact, this was also the concern of Old Tang and Ning Jie. After recovering, Ning Jie, who was the backbone of the four, called Zeng Liu and Old Tang together to discuss what they should do next.

Whether it was Zeng Liu or Old Tang and Ning Jie, Chen Xin didn't mean to take them in, and it was only because Zeng Liu healed him.

I didn't drive them out of the car now, but I felt that there was a shelter in front of them, and I would just put them down at that time, and Chen Xin's injury was not yet healed, so he needed someone to take care of him.

When they just left, they didn't have this kind of worry, they were just immersed in being able to leave the dead county town.

But along the way, no new refuge was found, which inevitably caused their expectations to continue to decline and became uneasy.

After all, the fact that there is a sanctuary in front of them has always been said by Chen Xin himself. Zeng Liu and the others have cut off contact with the outside world for a long time. They have no concept of these situations, so they think that there may be no other sanctuaries. Not a strange thing.

Zeng Liu's previous inquiries also wanted to find out Chen Xin's bottom line. They were afraid that Chen Xin would really drive them out of the car. In that case, the four of them would definitely not survive.

But obviously, Zeng Liu's temptation was fruitless.

This inevitably cast a shadow over both Old Tang and Ning Jie's hearts.

Only Xiao Ye didn't feel much about it because of her young age. Instead, she was worried that she would continue to study when she went to the shelter.

Chen Xin didn't know about Zeng Liu's anxiety and worry, and even if he knew, he was unlikely to comfort them or do anything.

In the final analysis, Chen Xin's thoughts on Zeng Liu and the others are still just to help him, and he can save him if he can, but he doesn't care about anything deliberately, let alone how much he cares about them.

—————————————————————

Although the snow made the mountain road difficult, but after a few days of delay, Chen Xin successfully arrived at the border of Hubei and Anhui.

"It seems that there is indeed no new shelter in E Province, so we will go to Anhui Province next." Chen Xin looked at the boundary monument more than half buried by snow, and shook his head helplessly.

"Will there be no refuge in the Anhui Province?" Zeng Liu looked at the boundary monument by the roadside and the slogan "Welcome to Hubei Province" that was damaged and barely visible next to the boundary monument. , the mood became very complicated and worried.

Chen Xin shook his head, not worried about this, but said to Zeng Liu: "Don't worry about this, there must be shelters in Anhui Province, and Hubei Province moved the population of both counties because of inconvenient transportation. There are railways, highways and airports where I want to go. The transportation is still very convenient, and there is no need to relocate the population.

And if there is no new shelter, the big deal is that you can stay in my car for a while, and when I return, I will pass through the three towns and put you in the three towns. "

"Three towns... Is this really okay?" Zeng Liu couldn't help but look a little excited when he heard Chen Xin mention the provincial capital of E Province.

Although he is worried that there are no other shelters, the three towns still have a deep status for the people of E Province. In Zeng Liu's consciousness, if there are any shelters in E Province, the three towns must be one of them.

"Nothing is impossible, and there is nothing that can be done. Anyway, I will send you to an official shelter that is still in operation." Chen Xin set the tone for this matter and said nothing more.

The only question is where to let Zeng Liu and the others go. For Chen Xin, even if he takes them with him on the return journey, it is not a big problem to let them go in Sanzhen.

It's just that Chen Xin feels that his car still needs to be remodeled. After all, after receiving his parents, there may not be enough space in the car, and he doesn't want Zeng Liu and his parents to have too much space. Contact and intersection.

While thinking about these things, Chen Xin drove the car across the border between Hubei Province and Anhui Province and entered the territory of Anhui Province.

Anhui Province is Chen Xin's hometown. Although he went to Hunan Province with his parents when he was four years old and lived there for nearly 30 years, his hometown has always been his hometown.

Although in Chen Xin's impression, the hometown is a poor place and it is quite shabby. Every time I come back for the New Year, it is always inconvenient here and there, but my relatives have lived here for generations.

I love my elders and other relatives in my family, all living here.

Although I don't like this place very much, it is Chen Xin's hometown no matter what.

And most importantly, Chen Xin's parents are here, and he will take them back no matter what.

After crossing the provincial boundary, the road is still the same bumpy and difficult road, which is not different because of the boundary between Hubei Province and Anhui Province.

Especially Chen Xin's journey, whether in Hubei or Anhui Province, belongs to the mountain road passing through the mountains. Before the disaster, it was fine. Now this snow-covered mountain is the same as Chen Xin's. It's a tracked vehicle, and ordinary cars don't have the ability to pass at all.

"Mr. Chen Xin, do you know where to find your parents?" Zeng Liu was a little curious about this question.

After all, we all know this situation now. Transportation and communication have long been cut off. Chen Xin traveled through Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Anhui provinces to pick up his parents. It took so much energy and cost, and even broke one Hand, how did he make sure that he would be able to receive his parents?

Chen Xin nodded and said, "I still had contact with my parents before the disaster. Their location was in the mountains of my hometown, and a small shelter was also built there.

The shelter was built according to my suggestion. All aspects of food, drinking water, and heating were considered. Basically, it was the same as the shelter I lived in. If I can survive, so can my parents. .

Moreover, all the relatives living in the shelter are my relatives. They can take care of my parents if anything happens, and there will be no problem. "

Hearing what Chen Xin said, Zeng Liu didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and didn't say anything against Chen Xin.

Although in Zeng Liu's heart, he still felt that Chen Xin's parents were not necessarily still alive, or that he could receive his own parents smoothly.

Before Zeng Liu met Chen Xin, although her companions were only Old Tang, Ning Jie, and Xiaoye Ye, as well as the group of wanderers who were not her companions, they were not the only ones before that.

It was only after the evacuation from the county seat that they lacked food and clothing, materials, and medicines and effective medical care, so many people died of illness, starvation, and freezing to death.

Zeng Liu clearly remembered that one of his friends just fell asleep and didn't wake up the next day.

And more companions don't even have the chance to sleep like this. Zeng Liu once watched a child cry and tell himself that he didn't want to die, but he still died of illness.

So it's not surprising that Zeng Liu is pessimistic about whether Chen Xin's parents can survive, because she has seen too many tragedies, and she already has a pessimistic attitude towards the world in her heart.

However, Zeng Liu is not the kind of person who can't speak. It's impossible to say this kind of cold water to Chen Xin so directly.

After all, if Chen Xin gets angry and drives them out of the car, it's a price that Zeng Liu and the others can't afford.

So after ignoring this topic, Zeng Liu fell silent.

Chen Xin didn't know what Zeng Liu was thinking. If he knew, Chen Xin might really drive her and her companions out of the car, even though Chen Xin was not a cruel person.

In fact, Zeng Liu was worried about Chen Xin himself, but before seeing his parents with his own eyes, Chen Xin was full of hope and suppressed the idea of ​​things going in a bad direction to a minimum.

In any case, people always expect things to develop on the good side, and no one expects things to develop on the bad side.
