Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 228: Keep going

Out of the three towns, there seems to be no prosperous city along the way.

In fact, proceed along the G318 National Highway, and there are indeed no major cities along the way.

Because the route chosen by Chen Xin is through the mountains, there are no more developed cities in this area, and the more developed cities in E Province are either distributed in the west of E Province, or concentrated along the Yangtze River .

This doesn't overlap with the direction Chen Xin is going, so it's not unusual that he can't see the city.

The scenery along the way is still similar to the previous road, it is pitch black everywhere, and all the sight lines are covered with snow.

He reached out and picked up a piece of dried fruit from the workbench and threw it into his mouth. Chen Xin was reluctant to chew it. He just sipped the taste of the piece of dried fruit, feeling a little nostalgic.

Seriously, this seems to be the first time Chen Xin has eaten fruit after the disaster. Even though it is only dried fruit, it is already a very rare thing.

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

In the big cities, the country has started to rebuild after the disaster, and the general small and medium-sized cities have also recovered from the disaster and have begun to actively resume production.

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

But what should it be like in the countryside far from the city?

Chen Xin didn't know, and he didn't investigate, but judging from what he's seen and the information he has, I'm afraid the farther away from the city, the worse the situation will be, right?

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

Even in the three months before the disaster, the state urgently built shelters in villages and towns. Although most rural residents could have a place to escape the previous disaster, those shelters had been built for a long time. Urgent, it is difficult to say that sufficient numbers have been built and that no shelter can provide the necessary living conditions.

Lack of food and clothing, shortages of medical services and medicines, lack of electricity and fresh water... Chen Xin doesn't even need to think about it to count the many possible problems.

Especially the lack of oxygen that happened in his city before, the ventilation of the small shelter may be better, plus there is only one or two floors, maybe the depth is not enough, there will be no problems like carbon dioxide deposition, but The same kind of refuge that is not dug deep enough can hardly have a good insulation effect.

Even if the temperature can be kept as low as possible, if there is not enough heating inside, it will quickly cool down and become like a huge ice cellar.

Although many people can survive by having a shelter sheltered from the cold compared to directly facing the low temperature of minus 30 to 40 degrees, people will need more high-calorie food to maintain their body temperature under low temperature. And people are more likely to get sick in low temperature environments.

And what are the consequences of these two... Chen Xin, who has played the game "Frozen Age", knows clearly that once the number of hunger and disease reaches a certain level, riots and dissatisfaction will breed.

In the game, rioters have to die of illness and starve to a certain level of dissatisfaction before they riot and drive away the managers, but in reality, I am afraid that when someone starts to die of illness, many problems and contradictions will break out, making things out of control. .

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

Although the people who live together are all relatives in the family, they have lived together for several generations before the disaster, and even the ancestral halls dedicated to the ancestors are the same. Xin Ye specifically explained how they would hoard supplies and build shelters, but Chen Xin was still full of worries.

Just worrying can't make Chen Xin go faster. His current speed is much faster than he expected. After three towns, he has already walked half of the journey. The time it takes is counted from his departure. Only five or six days have passed since then.

This is already much faster than Chen Xin's estimate. According to his current speed, he is confident that he will arrive in Anhui Province within five days. Counting the time for the return journey, he will be able to catch up within a month. go back.

Even if there is anything to deal with after receiving the parents, it will be delayed for a few days at most, and there will not be much change.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin felt relieved again.

Now he is the only one in the car. Chen Xin must find a way to adjust his emotions so that he is not too impatient. Otherwise, although the car can accelerate, it is right, but the speed also means danger.

This can be seen very clearly from the snow-covered road in front of Chen Xin.

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

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 too thick!" Chen Xin looked at the snow in front of him, frowning, thinking about how he should cross this section of road.

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

But Chen Xin has the time and energy to clean up the snow. He might as well find a way to take a different route or upgrade his car so that it can drive on this slope-like snow.

Although by design, even on such a sloping slope, the crawler-type chassis has enough grip to ensure that the vehicle does not slide down the valley, but it is too risky to drive that way. into the valley below.

Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, and let both reconnaissance drones fly, intending to scan the entire surrounding terrain to see if there was a smooth place for him to pass.

Although it is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are not steep and steep, and there are relatively flat places in the valley that can be passed.

It's just that compared to the original road, the obvious way from the valley is more winding.

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

Using a high-speed highway can only be a last resort. Although the high-speed route is straighter and the roads are less undulating, building a high-speed in a place where there are mountains everywhere must be full of bridges and tunnels.

The tunnel is fine, but the bridge...

Recalling the collapsed bridge he had seen during his journey, Chen Xin directly let himself give up this plan.

After all, no matter how good the infrastructure of the Yan Kingdom is, the infrastructure madman cannot build a road bridge that can withstand the impact of meteorites without collapsing.

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

Looking at the yellow and red areas on the hillside, Chen Xin could only focus on the relatively flat green area in the valley, and while controlling the drone to continue scanning forward, he also restarted the car , and proceed along the signs of the green blocks.

It's not dangerous to scan while walking like this, but it also makes Chen Xin unable to pick up the speed. He can only slowly creep forward. The speed of the car has dropped to 10 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to the speed of a turtle. .

"This is really difficult to walk! Fortunately, this valley used to be a river, this is a ditch, otherwise there might not be a road." Chen Xin shook his head and stacked the terrain scanned by the drone with the map. In contrast, looking at the original river course in the valley marked on the map~IndoMTL.com~ can't help but sigh.

Just now I felt that I was not slow, but I immediately encountered a situation where I had to slow down, and Chen Xin couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, he has a good mentality, and he did not become impatient because of such a situation. He had to force a fast pass, but he was able to accept the current speed.

In this kind of field, the speed itself is not fast. After all, it is not like driving on the road before the disaster. The road is flat and straight, and there are no potholes and mud on the hardened road. Rush forward to be able to step on the bottom.

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

Problems such as stagnant water and mud are the best solutions to solve. Now in this apocalyptic environment, a series of obstacles such as gravel, trees, and rivers on the road have become snow-covered roads. It is true that the road conditions have become monotonous, but it is not better.

If you have to make an analogy, driving in a snow-covered area is actually the same as driving in the desert, except that the snow may be a little firmer than the desert, and the wheels Or the crawler is not so easy to sink in.

The snow itself is also potentially dangerous, such as soft and collapsed, and even hollows under the snow.

This is why Chen Xin didn't start the operating system to drive automatically, but instead held the steering wheel by himself.

After all, people's ability to judge and react is stronger than this kind of rigid operating system.

However, this also made Chen Xin a little annoyed. When he was in Three Towns, 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 can relax a lot, right? Chen Xin couldn't help but walked away.
