I can upgrade the shelter

Chen Xin, who had put on his protective gear again, and Qin Lan together carried away the carton that two SWAT team members had delivered just now, leaving Qin Lan’s room, ready to find Mo Qingyan for a booze exchange.

But Qin Lan didn’t lead Chen Xin out the way they came in before. Instead, she took him through the hall, went around through a passage to another elevator room, and then took the elevator to the first basement level.

"The entrance we came in through before is specially for vehicle traffic; this one is the personnel entrance and exit." Carrying the box and walking out of the elevator with Chen Xin, Qin Lan introduced the situation: "Previously, you could take the elevator directly to the ground, but now, after cooling, you can only go to the first basement level and then walk out via stairs."

Chen Xin nodded in understanding, but he curiously pointed to a deep-looking passage aside, asking Qin Lan: "Is this the underground passage you mentioned earlier? Where does this lead to?"

"That’s the way to the city hall. From here, even walking can get you there quickly. As for over there, it’s the route to the shopping center, but it’s not finished yet, so it’s unusable. Otherwise, going that way to Qingyan’s house would be faster," Qin Lan explained, pointing to another passage.

"Is there another passage leading to the surface over there?" Chen Xin was intrigued. Even if that route led closer to Mo Qingyan’s house, it wouldn’t warrant a special path; you’d still need to go from the surface.

However, Qin Lan shook her head: "Not really. It’s just that if you go through that way and reach the shopping center’s shelter, then out from there toward Qingyan’s house, it’s closer. You forgot how before you’d take the bus to the shopping center then walk over to Qingyan’s."

Qin Lan’s words made Chen Xin knock his head, lamenting: "It’s just been a few months, and I’ve already forgotten that Long’s house is closer to the shopping center."

Upon hearing Chen Xin say that, Qin Lan couldn’t help but sigh: "Things before the disaster are probably something many people are unwilling to recall, right?"

Regarding Qin Lan’s sigh, Chen Xin didn’t know how to respond. He could only carry the box together with her, leaving the underground using the stairs leading to the surface.
