A convoy of seven vehicles drove out of the city early in the morning and headed towards Linshi under the leadership of Chen Xin.
Chen Xin's speed was not fast. In fact, he had already slowed down after leaving the city, so that his car was only moving at a speed of 10kms.
It's not that he can't go faster, but Chen Xin needs to ensure that the six cars behind him can keep up while maintaining driving safety.
The road conditions leading to Linshi were much worse than when Chen Xin drove back to his hometown last time. While the snow became thicker and deeper, the surface was also buried more seriously.
Don't think that the snow is deep enough and the road is flat enough to be easy to walk on. In this kind of dark night, without reference, it is easy for people to wander and lose their way.
Even if Chen Xin has radar positioning and drone reconnaissance, in this case he can ensure that he does not go off track, but he also has to ensure that the six cars behind him do not go off track.
For Chen Xin, this is also a brand new experience. After all, he has never been the lead car of a team.
Maintaining contact with the other six vehicles through the radio station, Chen Xin personally drove the vehicle forward while also paying attention to the situation of the convoy at all times.
Fortunately, the distance was not far, the drivers in the convoy were all experienced drivers, and there was also a police car from the SWAT team as the tail car, so overall there was no problem.
In the car, Chen Xin originally planned to take Han Ping with him, but both Mo Qingyan and Qin Lan finally squeezed into the car and insisted on going with him.
Mo Qingyan's reason was very good. She received the distress signal first. The "drilling expert" in Linshi was also her client and friend. At this time, she should follow her, both emotionally and logically.
Qin Lan said that she had to protect Chen Xin personally, and Han Ping also had to work part-time as a driver, which could not protect Chen Xin's safety well.
Although Chen Xin felt baffled and helpless in the face of the two people's persistence, he finally agreed to let them both follow.
After all, Qin Lan has the power armor Chen Xin made for her, and Mo Qingyan has an exoskeleton protective suit. Even if they are just working as laborers to help move things in Linshi, multiple people will be an extra help.
As for some of the troubles and problems caused by the two women getting in the car...
First of all, Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan are not unreasonable characters. Even if there is any problem, they will not really get into trouble and affect the business.
Besides, even if something really happened, Chen Xin felt that he should still be able to handle the problem.
In short, with worries about Linshi, this group of seven vehicles headed towards Linshi in the Dark Seed, hoping to bring them help.
————————————————————
"Radar detection ahead shows that the snow is soft. Vehicles behind should avoid it, follow the vehicle in front, and pay attention to follow the rut of the vehicle in front." Chen Xin was holding a walkie-talkie and reporting road conditions to the vehicles behind him.
After his last upgrade and adjustment, the radar system can now detect the condition of the snow and the conditions under the snow. The drone has also added a sound wave detection function. The combination of the two allows Chen Xin to detect Have a very clear grasp of the road conditions.
Controlling the steering wheel, the vehicle avoided the soft snowy road ahead that might collapse, and drove along the frozen area. Chen Xin also deliberately slowed down the vehicle to allow the cars behind him to react. Come here and follow his lead.
Although this section of the road seemed to be very flat, through drone and radar detection, Chen Xin knew that the place he was bypassing was actually a slope below.
They should be where the highway used to be, but the highway was now buried under more than two meters of snow.
Not only that, this highway is actually a supported elevated line. The route Chen Xin took was the location of the highway in the past, because the support of the highway bridge below was quite stable and strong.
But the snow on both sides of the route he walked was much softer, because there was nothing underneath the snow, and it was just snow without any support.
Walking on this section of road, even if Chen Xin had enough confidence in his car, he still moved forward cautiously.
The last time he passed by here, he could still see the highway bridge. Although the bridge deck was seriously damaged and collapsed in many places, which made him walk back for a while, at least he could still walk and could see traces of the past highway. of.
However, not even this trace can be seen now, everything is just a flat snowfield with only slight fluctuations.
Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan were both sitting in the back seat of the cab at the moment, looking at the snowy field in front of them illuminated by the car lights, both of them seemed to be in a trance.
"A Xin, the last time you went back to your hometown, did you take the same route?" Qin Lan remembered the last time Chen Xin returned to his hometown, and suddenly asked him about it.
Chen Xin held the steering wheel, controlled the direction, nodded and replied: "I walked from here last time. At that time, you could still see craters on the road, and the highway bridges were smashed, which caused me great harm. You can only take the national highway."
"Was this place a highway before? Isn't that the road we used to take?" Mo Qingyan recalled that she used to organize friends to go to Linshi for outdoor activities, and they took this road, and she couldn't help but be very surprised: "But I remember that the highway should be very elevated, right? It's at least seven or eight meters above the ground, but it's all buried?"
Chen Xin was also surprised by this, but he still nodded and said: "It seems that the situation, at least what is shown on the radar, is that the original highway bridge is right below us."
"This is really..." Mo Qingyan was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Glancing at Mo Qingyan in the rearview mirror, Chen Xin shook his head, seemingly feeling a little emotional about her performance, so he said, "Actually, it's not impossible for a snowstorm like the one before to cause this kind of situation. You know, it's A blizzard with -70℃ wind speed reaching level 12 is enough to freeze and destroy everything.”
"But it doesn't mean that it caused such a snow accumulation of at least ten meters, right?" Mo Qingyan mentally calculated the distance between the snow surface and the original ground at this time, and couldn't help but complain.
Chen Xin just smiled helplessly and said: "Because of the obstruction of building debris in the city, the snow cover in most places is only more than two meters thick. In places with better conditions, it may only be more than one meter, and the seriousness is only five or six meters." meters, but in places like the outskirts where there is no vegetation now, the blizzard blows without hindrance and can carry a large amount of snowflakes. It is not an exaggeration to form a snow accumulation of more than ten meters."
