Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 60: Waste land to pick up garbage
With the gun, Chen Xin felt that his safety had been greatly guaranteed and improved, so he couldn't help but have the idea of going outside for a walk.
Although there is not much to see outside now, picking up garbage in the wasteland is a part of survival in the apocalypse. You have to experience it, and you can also understand the current external environment.
However, even with a gun in hand, Chen Xin felt that he should be well prepared before going out.
At the very least, a protective suit that can completely envelop yourself, a gas mask that can be used for a long time in the external environment, and a strong flashlight that can provide good lighting. These must be prepared.
In addition to these, water bottles, medical kits, and even carry-on food need to be prepared.
Of course, the gas mask Chen Xin has already prepared. The medical kit, water bottle, and flashlight are all ready-made, so there is no problem in going out to explore.
The only thing that made Chen Xin a little bit suspicious was the protective clothing.
At this time, the outside environment had gone out during the two previous exchanges of supplies. Chen Xin has already understood that now two months after the meteorite fell, the outside temperature has begun to drop, although it has not dropped below zero. But it's already relatively cold.
If it was before the disaster, now at this temperature, Chen Xin would have moved the stove out to bake the fire.
So if you want to go out, warm clothes are a must.
This is easy to say. After all, since you already know that the temperature will drop to dozens of degrees below zero in the future, it would be really stupid not to prepare clothes that can keep you warm.
Not to mention other things in Chen Xin's wardrobe, there are always two pieces of down jackets and winter jackets.
Just considering the external environment, Chen Xin did not basically stay in the car like before when going out this time, but needed to be exposed to the external environment for a long time, so in addition to keeping warm, clothes should also have certain protective ability.
The protective ability here refers not to radiation protection, but to preventing the skin from contacting the toxic and harmful ingredients in the air.
The hazards of toxic and harmful components in the air are actually more serious than radiation. Once some gases enter the human body through breathing, they can cause dizziness, breathing difficulties, shock and other symptoms, and the serious ones can even be short. Time kills.
Some gases are more serious, even through skin contact, it may cause redness, festering, peeling, chapped and other injuries, and contact with eyes or mucous membranes will produce strong irritation, causing redness and many other reactions, serious It may even cause blindness.
Originally, if it was just a fire, there would be more toxic and harmful gases such as sulfide and carbon monoxide in the air, but there are many large chemical plants around the city.
Actually, Chen Xin grew up in a chemical plant. Their family lived in the family area of the factory at the beginning, because the people around them were all working in the chemical industry. Chen Xin is poisonous and harmful under the influence of ears and eyes. The hazards of gas can be said to be very well understood.
Especially when he was a child, Chen Xin was on his way home from school and saw an accidental safety accident while passing through the factory area.
At that time, at a maintenance site, a migrant worker who was working on the site fell into a spherical tank used to store chemical gases.
When and others came to the rescue, the whole person’s skin was dry and cracked, and it seemed to be dehydrated under the sun, and there was a layer of dandruff on the surface of the skin, even the eyes became gray and white, and the hair was even more dry. like straw.
The tragic situation of the migrant worker frightened Chen Xin, who was less than ten years old at the time, and left a deep psychological shadow on him.
Therefore, Chen Xin has always been afraid of toxic and harmful gases since he was a child. If there is not enough protection, he will definitely not take risks.
More importantly, although chemical plants are very important for post-disaster reconstruction, it stands to reason that the city government should repair these chemical plants as soon as possible, but unfortunately most of these chemical plants are super fireproof. Unit, once it catches fire, it will explode...
Chen Xin doesn't know how damaged these chemical plants are now, but it is certain that the air quality in this city must be very poor now.
I went out twice before, one was driving, and one was just staying at the entrance of the shelter for a while. Both times were not exposed to the external environment for a long time, so it was not a big problem.
But since this time I decided to go to the wasteland to pick up garbage, it is obviously impossible to stay in the car all the time, and I must stay in a potentially dangerous environment for a long time.
In fact, for survivors in the doomsday environment, unless it is necessary to obtain resources, leaving the safe environment of the refuge is the most wrong way.
Because in the last days, no one knows what kind of crisis lurks in the once safe environment. It may be a lurking zombie in a zombie film that has been filmed, or it may be a gangster in the wasteland, more likely It is an invisible deadly threat...
So when you can be self-sufficient, the safest thing is to stay in a shelter and don't go anywhere.
But Chen Xin decided to go out once. As for the so-called experience of wasteland picking up life~IndoMTL.com~, the reason is of course that he wants to go out and have an overall understanding of the current environment and search at the same time. Some materials that may exist.
Although the fire caused by the meteorite fall has burned almost everything, it does not mean that nothing can escape this disaster.
For example, in some supermarkets or canteens and other places, although the storefronts facing the street will be burnt out, the warehouses where the goods are stored in the stores are not necessarily, and they may survive the disaster.
If Chen Xin can find such a warehouse that hasn't been burned down by the fire, if nothing else, even if he just finds a few bottles of Fat House Happy Water, it will be worth the price.
and want to go out, protective clothing becomes the top priority.
A set of qualified protective clothing should not only be able to wrap the body, avoid the skin being exposed as much as possible, but also need to be resistant to acid and alkali, anti-corrosion, and even anti-static if it is used in a chemical plant.
For example, in "Death Stranding", the protagonist is wearing a courier costume, or the uniform of an operator in Rhode Island.
Both of them are often active in dangerous environments, and their clothes belong to protective clothing with certain protective functions.
In today’s external environment, acid rain is a normal thing. If you don’t have good protection performance, it’s not a pleasant experience to be exposed to acid rain. It may even take a literal sense. A layer of skin.
If there is no system, Chen Xin may hold back his mood and ask Qin Lan to get a protective suit when he exchanges supplies next month.
The SWAT team is responsible for maintaining the security of major shelters. If they need to go out to work, a set of safe and reliable protective clothing will still appear in their equipment.
But since there is a system, Chen Xin has another choice.
