When the snowstorm stopped and Chen Xin walked out of the shelter and came to the surface, he was surprised to feel the clarity of the sky.
Although there was still thick dust blocking the sunlight, when Chen Xin looked up, he felt that the air under the dust seemed very clean.
This is a very contradictory feeling, but it is easy to understand.
Due to snowstorms, dust and other particles in the air are blown away by strong winds above level 12, so it is not unusual for the air to appear clean and clear when the wind suddenly stops.
This is why many people say that the weather will get better after rain or strong winds, because the dirt in the air has been taken away by the rain or strong winds.
But the atmosphere is stratified, and disturbances in the lower atmosphere are difficult to affect the upper atmosphere. The dust and particles suspended in the sky are the main factors that block sunlight from reaching the ground, and they are not affected by this snowstorm.
This is why when Chen Xin looked up, he still saw the dark sky, but he could also feel the sky being clear.
"The snow has finally stopped!" Chen Xin and Qin Lan came outside again, looking up at the snowflakes no longer blown by the wind in the sky, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, it finally stopped. If it hadn't stopped, I don't know how many people would have been frozen to death because of the snow." Qin Lan couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Lan followed Chen Xin to various shelters before, and saw many people who had frozen to death due to low temperature, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Now that the snow has stopped, she has finally let go of her worries about the other survivors in the shelter.
"The snowstorm has passed, everything will be fine." Chen Xin knew what Qin Lan was feeling. Chen Xin also felt a little heavy about those who froze to death, but what he valued more was those who were alive.
The dead are irreversibly dead, and there is nothing we can do for them other than grieve and mourn.
But the living still have to live, and we can do something for them to let them live better.
"Well, everything will be fine." Qin Lan looked at Chen Xin and nodded seriously.
Her confidence is not in the world, but in Chen Xin. She believes that Chen Xin will make everything better.
"Let's go back. I've been away for so many days and I don't know what's going on at home." Chen Xin said to Qin Lan, with a wry smile on his face: "I've been away from home for so many days and I don't know what's going on at home. Dad. Mom will probably be worried again."
However, Qin Lan shook her head this time and refused to Chen Xin: "Axin, you should go back alone first. I have something to deal with, so I won't go back with you."
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Chen Xin was not surprised that Qin Lan didn't go back with him, but he still asked out of habit.
"As for things in the team, I had already retired from the front line when I injured my hand, but I have never gone through the formal procedures. I want to formally resign from the police force." Qin Lan explained to Chen Xin why she wanted to stay alone.
Chen Xin looked at Qin Lan. Although she looked calm on the outside, Chen Xin knew that she should be very excited inside at this time.
As Qin Lan's ex-boyfriend, Chen Xin understands how much hard work Qin Lan has put in to be a good police officer. It can be said that being a police officer is Qin Lan's life ideal and her biggest goal and pursuit in this life.
But now she said she wanted to end this matter. It was obvious that she had made such a decision with great determination.
However, Chen Xin did not persuade Qin Lan or interfere with her decision. He just nodded and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, I want to handle this matter alone. You should go home first. Your uncle and aunt must be worried about you." Qin Lan shook her head and had no intention of letting Chen Xin stay.
"Okay, if you need anything from me, just ask." Chen Xin could only say this when he saw this, which was considered a promise.
"Well, I will ask you for help if something happens." Qin Lan didn't mean to ask Chen Xin for help, but she didn't refuse his kindness either. She just agreed, but had no intention of asking Chen Xin for help.
Of course Chen Xin could see that Qin Lan didn't intend to ask him for help, but he couldn't force this kind of thing, so he didn't force it. After talking to Qin Lan for a few more words, he turned around and walked towards his home.
Because of the raging snowstorm before, the snow outside was thick and deep. Most of the entrances and exits of the shelters were buried in the snow. They were being cleared now. It was almost impossible to get by car. Chen Xin had no choice but to follow. As before, he walked back by himself.
Looking at Chen Xinyuan's retreating figure, Qin Lan kept watching his figure disappear, and then turned back to the shelter, intending to deal with her own affairs.
————————————————
Because there was no impact from the wind and snow, Chen Xin encountered no obstacles on his way home. However, when he returned to his home, he could not find the door.
The thick snow has completely buried the entire shelter, and no trace can be discerned. Even the observation room, which was originally quite conspicuous, has also disappeared under the snow.
"It seems I have to dig out my own home?" Chen Xin felt a little helpless. While using the radio to contact Han Ping and Han Ze brothers in the shelter to open the door from the inside, he controlled the universal robotic arm on his power armor to sweep away the door in front of him. snow, using metal detectors to find the exact location of the shelter door.
Han Ping and Han Ze had obviously been standing in front of the radio station and received Chen Xin's communication. Han Ze's excited voice soon came out: "Mr. Chen, are you back?"
"Yes, the snowstorm has stopped, so I came back. Is everything okay at home? The door is completely buried in the snow. You open the door from the inside and dig a way out." Chen Xin gave Han Ze his instructions. , and at the same time, he did not stop trying to find the door of the shelter.
Without the power armor, it would be really difficult for Chen Xin to find the front door of his house. After all, after the snowstorm, even the terrain has been changed. Finding the front door of his house is obviously not an easy task. It would be very difficult without digging up all the snow. Find the location of your own door.
But fortunately, he had a universal robotic arm. Through the metal detection and echolocation of the robotic arm, Chen Xin quickly found the door under the snow.
In addition, Han Ping also opened the door from the inside according to his instructions and dug out with Han Ze, so Chen Xin quickly dug out the snow and joined Han Ze and Han Ping who were digging out from the inside. I cleared the snow in front of the shelter door and returned to my home.
