The people in the four cars were obviously unwilling to be fooled like this, and after they reacted, they immediately chased after them.

However, they did not catch up with all four cars, and one car remained in place, presumably trying to get the return capsule away.

Chen Xin saw the chasing soldiers behind him through the picture taken by the drone, but he didn't care too much. If it was just this level of pursuit, his car would not be afraid of anyone.

"Let's ask if everything has been brought up. If there is nothing missing, we will leave." Chen Xin looked at the astronaut on the side and motioned him to ask Zhang Chengguang if there was anything else missing, but the main Let's take a look at Zhang Chengguang's condition. Chen Xin just saw him take off his protective suit.

The astronaut nodded and walked away, while Chen Xin controlled the car to move forward. Although the three cars behind him were following closely, they couldn't catch up to Chen Xin.

The reason why he didn't drive away at high speed was because he was worried that Zhang Chengguang was missing something.

If there is really something that needs to be taken back, Chen Xin will rudely ram all the three chased cars and park them here, then drive back to deal with the last car, and then pick up the things.

The reason why he didn't do this just now was because Zhang Chengguang was not in the car. If Chen Xin went to hit someone, he would be in any danger.

"Old Zhang said that the data storage has been brought up. Although the things in the return capsule are valuable, they are of no use to ordinary people." The astronaut looked at the data storage brought back by Zhang Chengguang, and then came back to explain the situation to Chen Xin: " In addition, Lao Zhang brought up the self-defense pistol prepared for us in the return cabin, and he said that when you send us to the place, the pistol can be left for you."

For astronauts, a pistol is nothing, and it is no big deal to give Chen Xin as a reward.

If it was before the disaster, of course they would not have done this, but after what happened just now, Zhang Chengguang obviously has a clear understanding of the current situation and environment. In exchange for a pistol for Chen Xin's help, this is very important to him. A good deal.

Chen Xin didn't care about this, just nodded, speeding up the car and throwing away the three cars behind him, he adjusted the direction on the map again, and drove towards Chibi urban area according to the original plan.

———————————————

After experiencing such a minor crisis, Chen Xin and the three astronauts also became familiar with each other, and also knew the names of the other two astronauts besides Zhang Chengguang, Zhao Wu and Zhang Yao.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Chen Xin returned to the living cabin, and the six data memories that Zhang Chengguang removed from the return cabin were placed on the table in front of him.

Looking at the six black brick-like memories, Chen Xin did not show too much curiosity, but just greeted Zhang Chengguang and the other two astronauts and asked, "It's almost lunch time, do you want to eat? order what?"

Hearing Chen Xin talking about eating, the expressions on the faces of the three astronauts became vivid.

In the past half a year, they have eaten space food in the sky. Although the astronauts are treated well, the food they eat is also rich in nutrients and tastes good, and there are even a variety of dishes to choose from. , but they still miss meals on the ground even more.

It's just that Chen Xin looked at their lively expressions, but poured a bowl of cold water on them: "I brought quite a lot of food, including canned food, shelter food, and some energy bars, I still have enough to eat. of."

"Canned food, energy bars?" The three astronauts looked at each other, and finally Zhang Chengguang asked, "Is there such a shortage of supplies now? Doesn't the country have emergency reserves, such as meat and vegetables? Cans and energy bars?"

"National emergency reserve? I don't know about this. My city may not be using it." Chen Xin made a shrug and took out a shelter from the cupboard under the puzzled eyes of the three astronauts. The food was put on the table: "This is a standard shelter food with rice from the pre-disaster stockpile, rat meat and mealworms raised in captivity after the disaster, mushrooms from underground greenhouses, and a small amount of fresh vegetables. .

Such a standard shelter food is all the food that survivors in the shelter can get in a day. The two energy bars in it must be received by people who go out to work, and ordinary people only have one. . "

The situation introduced by Chen Xin obviously shocked the three astronauts who had just landed, but it is no wonder that the disaster had not really come when they went to the sky, and the supply of materials can be said to be normal.

And when they were in the sky, they were also eating standard astronaut supplies. Although they had estimated the situation on the surface, they did not expect that the conditions would become so difficult.

"Let's eat this, this should be enough for the three of us." Zhang Chengguang picked up the shelter food on the table and decided that the three of them would eat this shelter food, which was considered an early adaptation to the current life of shortage of supplies.

Chen Xin smiled, waved his hand, and took out dehydrated vegetables and rice from the cupboard, as well as a can of luncheon meat: "Although the official shelter did eat the one in your hand, I still have something else. Yes, there is really no fruit, but there is still a little dehydrated vegetables and rice, and canned meat is lunch meat, I hope you don't dislike it."

With that said, Chen Xin put a pot on the induction cooktop on the counter, ready to cook lunch.

"This... it really cost you money!" Zhang Chengguang looked at the food Chen Xin took out, and could only say a few polite words.

After all, if what Chen Xin said was true, the food he brought out could be considered a very sumptuous meal in this world.

However, this also made the three astronauts deeply worried about the current status of the Yan Kingdom.

———————————————

After lunch, Chen Xin still drove the car through the urban area of ​​Chibi according to the original plan. There was no accident here and found the shelter in the urban area of ​​Chibi, but whether it was Chen Xin or the three astronauts in the car. , without any thought of stopping and communicating with the official shelter in downtown Chibi.

Chen Xin did not need to stop to resupply because he had sufficient supplies, while the three astronauts felt that the data they were carrying was too important, and it was better to have less than one more thing. Going directly to the three towns was a waste of time rather than in such a county-level city. much stronger.

After all, Chibi City is only a county-level city. Even if they contact the local county government and official shelters, the help they can get is very limited. At most, they can replenish some supplies or send a few police or armed guards to escort them.

But for Chen Xin and the three astronauts, it was actually unnecessary and meaningless.

Rather than attracting unnecessary attention just to change a few people to help, it would be safer to just go directly to the three towns.

So they quickly passed through the urban area of ​​Chibi, and drove forward along the road with no trace of the road at all.

Zhang Chengguang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at the darkness outside the car window and asked Chen Xin, "Have you lived in such an environment for more than half a year?"

"Not all. It was fine at the beginning. In the first month, because the meteorite just hit, there were fires everywhere, and I couldn't get out of the house, so I stayed in the shelter and suffocated. Apart from being a little harder, it was fine." While driving the car, Chen Xin chatted with Zhang Chengguang, and found that Zhang Chengguang was actually a very talkative person: "After the first month, the temperature was not very low, and the environment was not as bad as it is now. Therefore, most people took advantage of this time to come out to collect supplies for exchange.

However, the network has been cut off, and the mobile phone can't get through. Only some official wired telephones can be called. It is difficult to obtain the situation in other places. I don't know the situation in other places, but the city government of my city can still guarantee the supplies. Supply, although life is a bit hard, but still can survive, not short of food and clothing. "

"It sounds like it's not bad?" Zhang Chengguang couldn't help showing a little surprised expression. According to Chen Xin, the situation was indeed not bad.

Chen Xin also nodded and affirmed his words: "The first few months were really good, basically the same as in the 1970s and 1980s or earlier, and the food is guaranteed, overall it is really good. .

However, after the temperature dropped, it was more difficult to endure. The low temperature was tens of degrees below zero. Unless there was enough cold clothing or protective equipment, people would freeze in less than half an hour after going outside.

Although the underground shelter can withstand some of the cold, it can still kill people without heating, and the low temperature environment has a huge impact on both crop growth and animal breeding. A friend of mine's greenhouse was almost destroyed. "

"Cold, dark..." Zhang Chengguang's mood became a little complicated and uncomfortable, and the self-blame in his heart came up again. If their mission had not failed, perhaps there would have been no such suffering.

Chen Xin seemed to see what he was thinking, and said to him: "Don't take the responsibility too much on yourself, you have already fulfilled your responsibilities, and you have done what you can do. As for what it is now, although No one wants to, but since things are already like this, let's look forward! Try to live and live the present day, that's the most important thing."

"Thank you!" Chen Xin comforted him, Zhang Chengguang smiled at him, but he still couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

How can this kind of thing be able to pass through a few words of comfort? Perhaps only by waiting for Zhang Chengguang to figure it out on his own.

Chen Xin did not continue to struggle, and continued to drive along the dark and indistinct "road".

I'm sorry for being annoyed by some idiots, sorry for the late update
