Stepping into the wilderness again, the mood of the fifth group was completely different from the last time. Last time, because of the existence of the seniors of the first group, it was like a thick wall in front of him, blocking the depression and slaughter of the wilderness. And today, they will face the cruelty of the wilderness. Alone in the middle of the desert, what should you do when you encounter wanderers? What should I do if I encounter a swarm? It seems that all the learning in the training camp was returned to the instructor, and my mind was a mess.

"Your dear weather forecaster, Jeff, is online. The current coordinates are (745,2724) and the weather conditions are as follows: cloudy throughout the day, with a radiant wind wave blowing at 7 a.m. and now until 12 p.m., with the possibility of rainfall. There was a light wind between 13 pm and 3 pm, blowing northerly and the wind direction was unstable. Jeff's playful words rang out in the channel, just in time to dispel the rising fear of the wilderness.

"I'm coming, I've kept you waiting." Adeline's Ant Class trotted over with the sound of "box and box".

"Let's go." Ethan nodded slightly, and the fifth group officially embarked on their journey.

The target was 30 kilometers away, and given that it took them more than half a day to reach their destination last time, they set off an hour early, making sure to arrive at their destination by noon and return to the shelter before sunset.

"There's a small desert giant scorpion swarm 370 meters ahead, let's not mess with them, let's take a detour."

"Reminder, we are deviating from the route, everyone look at the map and follow the yellow dotted line I marked, it will be better."

"Lawrence, look at it from your point of view, is that the one in the southeast direction a herd, please use the magnification mirror to observe."

“……”

On the way, Jeff can always remind them where they have forgotten to go, he has won the trust of several people with his carefulness and focus, and Christina and others will also respond with a smile after Jeff's reminder: "Okay, Brother Jie~"

Although Jeff is younger than several others, he has an old personality and is not smiling, so he is nicknamed "Brother Jie" by them.

At 10:20, the weather forecast was correct. In the eyes of everyone, a colorful radiation cloud is slowly moving, and in the distance of the clouds, you can see the rain dripping down, watering the land with precious water.

The creatures of the wilderness have long since adapted to the presence of radiation, and the grass and plants have grown at a speed visible to the naked eye as the breeze blows its branches and leaves.

However, the bodies of Christina and the others are still more than 200 years old, and as underground people, they cannot adapt to the changing new environment, and these radiation rains are deadly to them.

"Find cover, pitch a canopy." In the channel, Dora's voice came in.

"Roger!"

The withered desert was full of plains and few hills, and after searching for a while and couldn't find a cover, everyone chose to set up a canopy on a small slope on higher ground. Claurels pulled out a roll of khaki plastic canvas from his rucksack, and the other members stepped forward to prop up the canopy.

A few minutes later, the sound of "crackling" rain came from the canopy overhead.

Ethan leaned down and reached out to touch the rain-soaked soil.

"Great, it's finally raining." Christina sighed.

"yes!"

"Do you remember the drought a year ago?" In this atmosphere, Jean recalls the severe drought that had occurred at the Vault a year ago, when he had just arrived at Vault 125.

"I took a shower once in half a year at that time, and I spent more than a month of savings."

"I'm ...... Me too. Outside the canopy, the mech piloted by Adeline waved its arm.

"Really? I haven't come yet? But I've also experienced a drought, and it's terrible. Jeff was also involved in the conversation.

In the channel, everyone in the fifth group chatted nonsense.

Since the beginning of the warm season, there has been very little rain here, and the price of water in the shelter is getting more expensive day by day, but fortunately, it rained a little today, and after I go back, the smell of sweat in the shelter should be slightly reduced.

Although this rainwater is rich in radioactive particles, it can also be filtered to be used as primary purified drinking water, or as secondary purified water for bathing.

Ethan crouched on the ground, watching a touch of green creep out in front of him, listening to the ticking sound in the vast land, and farther away, the sound of squirting, all things emerging from the cavern, enjoying the gift of Mother Nature, though she was not as generous as she had been.

Ethan closed his eyes and felt much happier as he breathed in the fresh air around him.

The radiation cloud moved slowly under the influence of the air current, and after more than ten minutes, the radiation cloud left the area and the rain stopped.

Around Ethan, many half-sized insects emerged from the ground, crawling on the tender green branches to absorb water.

Ethan didn't expect so many lives to be hidden in the seemingly lifeless desert, waiting for the rain, and when the rain was over, they would lurk underground, and continue to wait for the next rain.

"Let's go, it's been a long time delay." Ethan stepped out of the canopy and commanded after helping everyone pack their things.

The weather was good today, not only did the heavy clouds provide shade of light, but the rain also made the temperature drop a little. Thanks to this, everyone arrived at their destination at 11:45.

The goal of the mission is to search for a ruined farmstead. The farm was built from the predecessor of Vault 125. After the former Vault 125 was swept away by a Threat Level 3 swarm, not only was the entire Vault destroyed, but the Vault's external buildings, including the Farmstead, were abandoned due to lack of maintenance.

Although it has been several years since the collapse of the former Vault 125, the farmhouse is relatively hidden and has only recently been excavated by the research lab.

After passing through a field of gravel sand, the buildings hidden behind the stone forest quietly reveal their edges.

Most of the building in front of me is buried in yellow sand, and the part that is not buried in yellow sand has become a nest of insects, and insects the size of wheels roaming around the building.
