Chapter 459
Then when you come out of the factory, you will be even closer to the villa area!
Zhou Shuwan only found out there was an entrance under this inconspicuous building when he followed his father to repair the heating pipes, otherwise he would have missed it.
This is a chance to survive!
Zhou Shuwan immediately blew the whistle, three short and one long blasts in quick succession. This was the signal she and Tao Zheng had agreed upon, indicating that there was a new passage.
Although Tao Zheng was not as familiar with the base as Zhou Shuwan, he trusted her. After hearing the whistle, he immediately adjusted his direction and followed her to climb towards the building.
Now the first floor of all the buildings on the ground has been covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and people enter and exit from the second floor.
But when they arrived, Zhou Shuwan and his team discovered that the roller shutter door of the maintenance department was completely covered with snow, and they could not get in without some effort to clear the snow.
The two men had no choice but to use every possible means, using crampons to laboriously clear out an area, and then gropingly found a small hole under the rolling door.
She took out a thin wire from the space and poked it a few times skillfully. With a slight "click", the lock on the rolling door opened!
Zhou Shuwan was delighted, and together with Tao Zheng, he pushed the rolling door upwards to open a gap, and then crawled in.
"Huh..." After entering the maintenance department, the howling sound of the wind and snow weakened a lot. Zhou Shuwan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like he had walked through the gates of hell.
Although this is a building, it is actually a residential area. It is just an opening that was deliberately left when the base was built to facilitate entry and exit of the underground passage.
So, there is only someone here when the heating equipment is broken and needs repair, and there is no one here at other times.
The maintenance department was pitch black, the air was filled with dust and dampness, and it was as cold as an ice cellar.
Zhou Shuwan took out a flashlight, illuminated the surrounding environment, and then briefly introduced the situation of the underground passage to Tao Zheng.
Tao Zheng nodded.
"This way..." Zhou Shuwan pointed in a direction, which was the entrance to the underground heating passage.
She looked at Tao Zheng's back hesitantly: "Can your legs move?"
After Tao Zheng stood up, he felt that his leg injury was more serious, but probably due to the temperature, there was only a dull numbness.
He nodded without hesitation: "Action."
This is just a small space of less than 10 square meters, and there is not even any combustible material to use.
It would be very dangerous to leave him here alone, so it would be better for the two of them to go together.
Zhou Shuwan nodded and saw a few shovel handles in the corner of the wall.
After the end of the world, the economy declined, resources were scarce, and iron products such as shovels were decreasing day by day. So for convenience, the people in the maintenance department removed the shovels, spades and other maintenance tools from the handles and took them away. These handles were placed here and would be used next time.
She picked up two, gave one to Tao Zheng and kept one for herself, using them as crutches to walk.
Now both of them are injured, one has a leg injury and the other has a back injury.
They are really brothers in distress.
"Let's go!" Tao Zheng took the handle, tried it, and found that it could relieve some of the pain. Then he followed Zhou Shuwan, and the two walked down the narrow stairs.
When they reached the entrance to the underground heating passage, a rusty iron gate blocked their way.
Zhou Shuwan used wire to open the lock on the iron door again. When the two of them pushed the door open, a warm current hit them in the face.
There is a heating pipe underneath, so the temperature is very high, about 30 degrees.
The heat is lost during transmission, and by the time it reaches the household, only about ten degrees is left.
Compared to the outside, this is already a paradise.
"It's finally warm..." Zhou Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief, took off the mask, and turned off the air-conditioning suit.
Tao Zheng responded, and his tense mood gradually relaxed.
He glanced at Zhou Shuwan and asked, "How's your back?"
