I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 649 - 547 Ice Removal

The original location of the high-speed rail station, Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan were respectively piloting their units, setting up the equipment Chen Xin had given them around the former high-speed rail station according to Chen Xin's instructions.

Although she really wanted to support the front line with the powerful performance of Zhu Luan's unit, at Chen Xin's request, Qin Lan still came here with Mo Qingyan to set up the hastily made de-icing equipment, hoping to restore the operation of the high-speed rail station.

Taking a de-icing device from the back of the mechanical hunting dog following her, and inserting it into the snow after unfolding it in the way Chen Xin instructed, Qin Lan only hurried to the next preset position after confirming through Zhu Luan's AI that the device had started and was connected normally.

Meanwhile, Mo Qingyan, piloting Lu Shu, was doing the same thing, only Lu Shu itself walked on four legs, so all the de-icing equipment was carried on Lu Shu's back.

"Lan, I'm done here, how many do you have left?" Mo Qingyan called to Qin Lan on the communication channel, inserting the last de-icing device from Lu Shu's back into the snow.

"I still have three left, indeed four legs are faster than two!" Qin Lan replied on the communication channel, and also said to Mo Qingyan: "Qingyan, Lu Shu is faster, check again if all the equipment is connected, don't miss anything."

"I know, I'm checking." Upon hearing Qin Lan's words, Mo Qingyan immediately began checking.

She also understood the importance of what they were doing.

The devices they were setting up were hastily made by Chen Xin when he learned that the city government planned to evacuate the populace. According to Chen Xin, once activated, these devices deployed around the high-speed rail station could melt all the snow burying the station within two hours.

Though it sounded like high-tech magic, trusting Chen Xin, the two girls still followed Chen Xin's instructions, piloting their units with the de-icing equipment he gave them to the high-speed rail station, laying out the de-icing devices according to the coordinates provided by Chen Xin in advance.

While installing the de-icing equipment, the two couldn't help but worry, partly about the safety of the city and whether Chen Xin's equipment would work, and more importantly, only melting the snow at the high-speed rail station was ineffective; melting the snow on the railway tracks was more crucial.

After Mo Qingyan checked once more all the installed equipment, confirming they were all connected correctly and operational, Qin Lan also completed her work and went to meet her.

After reuniting, they couldn't help but feel a bit nervous, as they awaited Chen Xin's arrival per his prior instructions, chatting about the situation in the communication channel to ease their tension.

"Lan, when will Chen Xin be here?" Mo Qingyan asked Qin Lan.

When Chen Xin went to the city to deliver the Autonomous Titan, he didn't pilot the White Dragon. Due to higher-ups forbidding him from going to the battlefield, Chen Xin could only travel to the command center under heavy protection, making it difficult for Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan to contact him for a while.

"Chen Xin said he's delivering the Autonomous Titan to the command center, notifying them about the high-speed rail station issues, it shouldn't be long, he should be back soon, right?" Qin Lan wasn't sure, though Chen Xin explained what they needed to do earlier, waiting still made the two feel somewhat anxious.

As a sniper, Qin Lan should have ample patience, but at this moment, she found it hard to be calm.

The other side of the city was the battlefield, as a soldier, she wished to be fighting there, rather than preparing for evacuation while others fought fiercely.

Yet, Qin Lan knew, under the condition of being unable to stop the alien invasion from underground, ensuring the safety of citizens' lives and property through evacuation was most crucial.

Despite that, it didn't soothe her mood; she wished to join the war more directly.

But this was merely a thought and impulse; Qin Lan understood her primary duty now was to complete the task Chen Xin assigned to her and Mo Qingyan, ensuring the high-speed rail station could resume operation smoothly.

At this moment, Mo Qingyan suddenly asked: "Really, why doesn't Chen Xin let us activate this de-icing equipment? It's wasting time waiting for him to come."

"I don't know either, but Chen Xin might have his considerations? Or is he worried we can't operate the equipment and might mess things up?" Qin Lan speculated, uncertain why Chen Xin didn't let them activate the de-icing equipment themselves to save time.

While they were waiting for Chen Xin's return, his voice finally sounded in the communication channel: "Lan, Qingyan, is the de-icing equipment deployed?"

"It's set up, Chen Xin, when will you come?" Qin Lan reported to Chen Xin, also concerned about when he would arrive.

"I'm on my way. Both of you return home, have Han Ping and Han Ze protect my parents and prepare to evacuate with the Research Center's staff; you two should also evacuate with the Research Center's people later. Though the Titans have been deployed to the front lines and the special forces are guarding, having your two Titans makes it safer." Chen Xin instructed, also asking Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan to prepare for evacuation and protect his parents.

Although the Research Center was outside the city and had special forces protection, it was still too close to the city, and it wasn't safe as the city began being infiltrated by aliens.

The whole city needed evacuation, including the Research Center.

"What about you?" Mo Qingyan interjected on the communication channel.

"Don't worry, I've had Senior deliver the White Dragon; with it, my safety isn't an issue." Chen Xin explained to Mo Qingyan.

Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan knew it wasn't time to argue with Chen Xin; although worried, they could only remind him, "Be careful," and then follow Chen Xin's instructions to return to the Research Center.

Shortly after their departure, Chen Xin also arrived protected by a team of special forces, and soon the White Dragon sent by Tang Tang was delivered to him.

Chen Xin didn't immediately board the White Dragon but first activated the de-icing equipment.

This de-icing equipment, hurriedly purchased at a high survival point cost, was his promise to the general to restore the high-speed rail station's operation in two hours.

As the de-icing equipment was activated, a faint blue energy field visible to the naked eye enveloped the entire area where the original high-speed rail station was located, and the internal temperature of the energy field began to rise rapidly, immense steam billowed up, and the snow on the ground visibly melted.
