Chapter 87: Population relocation

Even before the disaster, it is an incredible thing for a country or

government to transfer thousands of people at a time. It requires strong

organizational skills and execution power. As for the various security issues

that may occur, it is even more troublesome.

And now it's no better than before. The dim environment is all illuminated by

the searchlights on the surrounding police cars. Under the snow-white lights,

the expressions of panic on those people's faces are full of fear of the

unknown and worry about their own future.

This is not like in the past. The government said that the transfer of

resettlement, everyone is willing to believe, because the Yan Guo government

has always established an image that makes people willing to believe it.

But in the last days, the threat of disaster makes everyone already living in

fear and anxiety. Every day, they worry about how they will live their next

lives. Now they have to move from the originally stable refuge. For the

people, it is no less than a major blow.

If it weren't for the staff of the city government who have been working hard

to appease, and the special police next to the lineup, I am afraid it would

have been messed up.

But even so, there has been a commotion among the crowd, whispering uneasyly.

There are only more than 5,000 people in this refuge. The city government

organized about a dozen buses that are still operational to transport them

away in batches. This group of people who are waiting is the third batch.

One car can transport about fifty people, and one-tenth of the people can be

transported in one trip, so only this batch of more than 500 people is waiting

at the door, and the rest are still in the shelter.

This is also for the sake of safety. After all, five hundred people are much

easier to manage than five thousand people, and there is no need to keep the

rest of them waiting. They are easily emotionally restless, and those who wait

in the end are also easy to be frozen and get sick.

The temperature is already very low now. Although it is said that the

temperature that has been as low as minus will not freeze people at one and a

half, it is very difficult for people to stand outside for a long time.

Especially now, the air is extremely poor. As the low temperature does not

rain, the toxic and harmful substances and dust in the air cannot fall down.

It is impossible to do outdoor activities without protective equipment.

Even special police officers with a full set of protective equipment need to

change their shifts at intervals.

But these people didn't wait long. A dozen buses had already drove over and

stopped in front of them.

Seeing the arrival of the bus, the faces of the waiting people became more

relaxed and relieved.

Although the future is still uncertain, at least they can feel relieved now,

at least the government has not ignored them.

Watching the waiting people board the bus one by one under the guidance of the

city staff, on the armored vehicle where Qin Lan was located, a special police

member asked Li Tou, who was in charge of the team, "Li Tou, this is the third

batch. Right? How many people have been sent away?"

"Well, it should be more than 1,700 including this batch." Li Tou nodded.

Every time a group of people are sent away from the city hall, the number of

people will be counted and reported to avoid missing anyone.

Hearing Li Tou’s answer, the SWAT team member couldn’t help but exclaimed,

“This is the seventh shelter, right? These people are really pitiful.”

"Is there any way, if you don't move, you will be suffocated!" Li Tou

naturally understands what the SWAT team next to him is feeling, but there is

really no way for this kind of thing.

Hearing what they said, Qin Lan couldn't help but feel afflicted, and indeed

she would die if she didn't move.

In fact, the city government’s decision to relocate was also forced to help.

As the temperature dropped further, various shelters actually suffered from

lack of oxygen or carbon dioxide poisoning.

If all the shelters did not attach great importance to this issue, and timely

prevention was taken, many people would die as a result.

But even so, many people died because of this, most of them were elderly

people or children.

So the city government still made this relocation decision, moving all the

population of small shelters to medium-sized shelters.

After all, the three major shelters and the six medium-sized shelters now have

oxygen production equipment, which can provide the most basic survival

guarantee for the people living in them.

Although this will bring a lot of trouble and problems, the city government

will not choose to abandon the people in these small refuges and let them fend

for themselves when more people can survive.

The topic was not discussed. The SWAT team members who spoke only shook their

heads and sighed before looking at the buses that were already full of people

preparing to leave. They couldn't help but worry: "In this kind of weather,

these buses may finish this trip. Task, should I change all the air filter

elements?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, after transporting the people in these shelters,

these buses are useless." Li Tou didn't pay much attention to this. Although

it is difficult to obtain auto parts in this situation, these After the bus

has transported the people in these shelters, it is useless.

There are only eleven small refuges in the urban area. The hospitals, armed

police forces, underground planting bases, and factories will not move. So

there are only seven small refuges to be relocated. This is the last one.

Listening to the discussion between Li Tou and the special police team member,

Qin Lan was naturally thinking about this issue too. The bus is useless after

this mission, but it does not mean that there is no need for a car.

Apart from anything else, the daily routine patrols of their SWAT team

actually cause losses to vehicles, not to mention that Qin Lan also runs to

Chen Xin’s shelter every month.

Although these auto parts were also stored before the disaster, if they have

not been replenished, all the vehicles will be worn out sooner or later.

Although the vehicles of their special police team have been protected, they

also deliberately replaced the paper dry air filter with an inertial oil bath

air filter, which is more suitable for harsh environments and is not easy to

wear, but the air filter element The loss of consumables is still not small.

However, as the country is restoring various industrial facilities, the supply

of these things is gradually restored, but the current consumption is still

greater than the supply, and the previous material reserves must be consumed.

Thinking of this, Qin Lan couldn't help but think that Chen Xin's car should

not have been specially protected. The air filter on his car might not be

replaced. Maybe she can add this to the list of materials exchanged with Chen

Xin later?

This idea gave Qin Lan a lot of inspiration. Since the car's consumables can

be included in the list, other things such as generator repair parts can be

used to exchange vegetables with Chen Xin.

I have to say that it might not matter if everyone can’t eat vegetables, but

for the SWAT team, it has become their most anticipated thing to be able to

eat fresh vegetables from Chen Xin every month. Vegetables are enough to eat

for so few days a month.
