Chapter 320: Sweep snow

After resting in his room for one night, after Chen Xin got up the next day, after eating breakfast, he took the elevator to the upper floor again, but he did not come up alone, but came up with his parents and Mo sisters.
Not only that, everyone, including Chen Xin, also wears an exoskeleton protective suit, holding tools such as a shovel made by Chen Xinxian in their hands.
They are going to sweep the snow.
When Chen Xin came back yesterday, Han Ping just dug a way out of the refuge to allow Chen Xin to come in. The door of the whole refuge was still buried by snow. If you want to go out, you must clear the snow at the door. Open.
And cleaning up the snow that was enough to bury the whole person was obviously not something that one or two people could accomplish, so Chen Xin naturally mobilized the labor in the refuge.
Originally, Chen Xin only planned to call Mo Qingyan and Mo Qingxin, but his parents thought that they could still do this, so he followed along.
When the group reached the surface, Han Ping had also put on protective clothing, and was waiting at the gate.
Han Ze did not come with him, but was sent by Chen Xin to continue to stand guard to prevent someone from coming over while they were working.
After all, the door of the refuge is opened when the snow is being cleaned. At this time, if someone wants to raid the refuge, it is very dangerous for no one to stand guard.
However, Chen Xin did this just in case. In the current situation outside, whether it is walking or driving, it is difficult to walk. Before, he was able to walk back from the city all the way back from the city with a power armor. He didn't think Others have this ability to move, but they still need to have security measures.
"Han Ping, you can help my parents a little bit. They are getting older, so take care of them." Chen Xin distributed the tools to everyone. When handing the shovel to Han Ping, he specially whispered to him.
Han Ping nodded clearly, and walked to Chen Xin's parents to help them get tools.
However, Chen Xin's parents refused Han Ping's help. Han Ping had to follow them when they saw it, and planned to do more by himself later so that Chen Xin's parents would not be too tired.
After all, in any case, among so many people, only Chen Xin's parents are older elders, and they are stronger than young people. They should do more.
Chen Xin took the lead to climb out along the tunnel that Han Ping dug yesterday. He did not directly start shoveling snow, but based on where he climbed out, he climbed towards the top of the gate and planned to clear it first. Observe the snow outside the observation room and at least expose the observation window.
Fortunately, Chen Xin was familiar with his own refuge. Using the gate as a reference, Chen Xin quickly found the approximate location of the observation room. After digging up the snow with a shovel, Chen Xin made a foothold for himself. Dug up with the help of the exoskeleton.
The reason why I did not wear power armor today is because the weight of the power armor is a little heavier. If you wear that suit, even if Chen Xin takes all the snow under his feet, it will be difficult for him to stand up. If you are caught in the snow, unless you squeeze hard in the snow with the power of the power armor as you did when you came back, you will be in a state of difficulty.
Therefore, relatively lighter and more flexible exoskeleton protective clothing has become a more suitable choice than power armor.
Power armor is relatively more suitable as a kind of combat equipment. If you are working and going out in normal times, Chen Xin still feels that the exoskeleton protective clothing is more comfortable to wear after this period of use.
Relying on the help of the exoskeleton, Chen Xin quickly dug a large piece of snow with a shovel. He pushed the snow aside, digging towards the target as much as possible, and soon he found something hard and hit the shovel When they came together, Chen Xin's hands shook.
After clearing the snow, Chen Xin dug into the wall of the observation room. The shovel just hit the wall.
Now that the wall was dug, the rest was much simpler. Chen Xin quickly cleared it along the wall, dug out the observation room buried deep in snow, and cleared the snow in front of the observation room, revealing The observation window under the snow.
However, there was obviously some ice on the observation window, and Chen Xin still needed to break the ice, and he had to be careful when striking to avoid breaking the glass together.
Knocked off the ice on the observation window and greeted Han Ze inside. Chen Xin turned around and continued to clean up along the observation room. He did not forget that the vent of his refuge was installed next to the observation room.
Although due to the relationship between the planting greenhouse and the oxygen generator, the ventilation openings are not affected, but if the ventilation openings are buried, there will still be some inconveniences, so now we still need to take the opportunity to clean the ventilation openings. .
The process of cleaning the vents is very easy. Although ice is also formed near the vents, it does not take much effort to clean up.
By the time Chen Xin had cleared the snow at the vents and went down the road where he had come up before, Han Ping and Mo's sisters had also cleared a large area at the entrance of the refuge.
"The hands and feet are neat, Dragon Lady!" Chen Xin greeted Mo Qingyan.
"Aren't you slow? The snow on the top is shoveled out?" Mo Qingyan seemed to be in a good mood today, and didn't show her coldness to Chen Xin as before.
"Well, it's all cleaned up. The observation window and vents are a bit icy, but it doesn't take much effort." Chen Xin explained the above situation to Mo Qingyan, then waved the shovel again and cleaned the gate with her. Of snow.
The snow brought by the previous blizzard accumulated more than four meters of snow at the gate of Chen Xin’s refuge~EbookFREE.me~Although this is only the part close to the gate is so deep, the more you dig out The shallower the snow, but it is not an easy job to shovel so much snow.
Even if you have an exoskeleton as a booster, you can shovel a large area of ​​snow without too much effort, but if you want to dig up an average depth of more than two meters and at least one or two hundred square meters of snow in front of the door, this It is also a huge project.
Fortunately, including Chen Xin, a total of six people are wearing exoskeletons. Even if Chen Xin's parents are less able to work because of their age, the cleaning efficiency is still not low.
From morning to lunch time, a large piece of snow had been cleared from the doorway, revealing the door that was originally buried by snow and a small open space at the door.
"Okay, let's work here in the morning, take a lunch break, and do the rest in the afternoon." Chen Xin took the initiative to speak, calling the Mo family sisters and their parents to rest.
Just as Chen Xin said this, Han Ze's voice suddenly came from the communicator on his body: "Mr. Chen, there are lights in the distance!"
