With a 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.

Although there is nothing to see outside now, picking up garbage in the wasteland is a part of survival in the apocalypse, and I have to experience it, and I can also understand the current external environment.

However, even if he had a gun in his hand, Chen Xin felt that he should still be well prepared when he wanted to go out.

At the very least, a protective suit that can completely wrap oneself, a gas mask that can be used for a long time in the outside environment, and a bright flashlight that can provide good illumination, these must be prepared.

In addition to these, water bottles, medical kits, and even food to bring with you are all things that need to be prepared.

Of course, Chen Xin had prepared a gas mask, and the medical kits, water bottles, and flashlights were also ready-made, so there was no problem in going out to explore.

The only thing that made Chen Xin a little suspicious was the protective clothing.

At this time, the outside environment has been passed out during the previous two exchanges of materials, Chen Xin has already understood, two months after the meteorite fell, the temperature outside has begun to drop, although it has not dropped below zero, but it is already relatively cold.

If it was before the disaster, Chen Xin would have moved the oven out to roast the fire at this temperature.

So if you want to go out, warm clothes are a must.

This is easy to say, after all, since we already know that the temperature will drop to dozens of degrees below zero in the future, it would be really stupid not to prepare warm clothes.

Chen Xin's wardrobe is not to mention anything else, there are always two down jackets and cold-proof clothing.

It's just that considering the external environment, Chen Xin didn't basically stay in the car when he went out this time like before, but needed to be exposed to the external environment for a long time, so in addition to keeping warm, the clothes should also have a certain protective ability.

The ability to protect against radiation is not to prevent the skin from coming into contact with toxic and harmful substances in the air.

The harm of toxic and harmful components in the air is actually more serious than radiation in terms of harmfulness, and some gases once they enter the human body through breathing, they can cause dizziness, dyspnea, shock and other symptoms, and even cause death in a short time.

Some gases are more serious, even if they are only through skin contact, they may cause redness, swelling, ulceration, peeling, cracks and other injuries, and contact with the eyes or mucous membranes will produce strong irritation, causing redness and swelling and many other reactions, and in severe cases, it may even lead to blindness.

Originally, if it was just a fire, there would be a lot of sulfide and carbon monoxide and other toxic and harmful gases in the air, but there are many large chemical plants around the city.

In fact, Chen Xin grew up in a chemical factory since he was a child, and his family lived in the family area of the factory at the beginning, because the people around him were all engaged in the chemical industry, and Chen Xin could be said to be very aware of the dangers of toxic and harmful gases.

Especially when he was a child, Chen Xin once saw an accidental safety accident on his way home from school when he passed through the factory area.

At the time, it was at a maintenance site that a migrant worker who was working on the site fell into a spherical tank used to store chemical gases.

When they were rescued, the whole person had chapped skin, as if he had been exposed to the sun to dehydration, and the surface of the skin was peeling off layer by layer, even the eyes had turned gray-white, and his hair was like dry straw.

The tragic situation of the migrant worker frightened Chen Xin, who was not yet ten years old at the time, and left a deep psychological shadow on him.

Therefore, Chen Xin has been afraid of toxic and harmful gases since he was a child, and if he does not have enough protection, he will definitely not take risks.

And more importantly, although chemical plants are very important for post-disaster reconstruction, and it stands to reason that the city government should repair these chemical plants as soon as possible, it is a pity that the vast majority of these chemical plants are special fire prevention units, and once a fire causes an explosion......

Chen Xin doesn't know how damaged these chemical plants are, but it is certain that the air quality in the city must be very poor.

The two times I went out before, once by car, and once at the door of the shelter for a while, both times were not considered to be exposed to the outside environment for a long time, so it was not a big problem.

But this time, since the decision was to go to the wasteland to pick up garbage, it was obvious that it was impossible to stay in the car all the time, and it was inevitable that you would have to stay in a potentially dangerous environment for a long time.

In fact, for survivors in a post-apocalyptic environment, it is the wrong thing to do to leave the safety of the Vault unless it is necessary to obtain resources.

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 movie that has been filmed, or it may be a wasteland bandit, or it may be an invisible deadly threat......

So when you can be self-sufficient, the safest thing is to stay in the shelter and never go anywhere.

But Chen Xin still decided to go out once, as for the reason, of course, it is not the so-called experience of the wasteland and picking up garbage life, but he hopes to go out for a walk, have an overall understanding of the current environment, and at the same time search for possible materials.

Although the fire caused by the previous meteorite fall burned almost everything, it does not mean that nothing can escape this disaster.

For example, in some places such as supermarkets or kiosks, although the storefronts on the street will be burned to the ground, the warehouses in the stores may not be able to survive the situation.

If Chen Xin can find such a warehouse that has not been burned down by the fire, not to mention anything else, even if he just finds a few bottles of fat house happy water, it will already be worth the ticket price.

And if you want to go out, protective clothing has become a top priority.

A set of qualified protective clothing must not only be able to wrap the body and avoid exposed skin as much as possible, but also need to be resistant to acid and alkali, corrosion, and even antistatic if used in a chemical plant.

For example, in "Death Stranding", the main character wears a courier costume, or the operator uniform in Rhode Island.

Both of them are often used in dangerous environments, and their clothing is a protective clothing with a certain protective function.

In today's external environment, it is normal for acid rain to fall, and if it does not have good protection performance, it is not a pleasant experience to be drenched in acid rain, and it may even take off a layer of skin in the literal sense.

If there is no system, Chen Xin may hold back his mood and wait for the exchange of materials next month to find Qin Lan to get a set of protective clothing.

SWAT teams are responsible for maintaining law and order in the various shelters, and if they need to go out on duty, a safe and reliable protective suit will still be in their equipment.

But since there is a system, Chen Xin has another choice.
