Chapter 9 Take the initiative to train
When taking the elevator upstairs, Jean, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Jerry, it's not easy!" ”
"There's no way, the protective clothing is too expensive, and there's no way to make one for everyone." Christina took off her heavy hood and wiped the sweat beads from her face before saying helplessly.
"I was born in the wilderness, and I have a say in this matter." Jeff said.
The crowd looked at Jeff in disbelief.
As the elevator went up, Jeff twisted the button on his suit, and the protective suit on his body gradually disintegrated.
"Look, this is a different limb that I grew out of when I was a child, and it was later removed." Jeff shows his right hand and has a distinct red scar on his forearm.
"Jeff, you were born in the wilderness!?" Christina and the others are all children born in the shelter, and they usually don't have the opportunity to contact the world outside the shelter, and they all rely on the word of mouth of the elders to know that there are a group of people like them living outside the shelter.
"Yes, people who live in the wilderness have some diseases to a greater or lesser extent, I was born into a better family, and my mother took great care of me. When he was eight years old, he was introduced by his uncle to work in a Vault, and later to Vault 125. Jeff knew why they were taken aback and explained.
Generally speaking, people who live in the wilderness for a long time will carry severe radiation sickness, even the red sores on the faces of people like Jerry and others are not enough to be called radiation sickness.
"Back then, my father spent more than half a year's income in the clan in order to buy a radiation protection suit, which was a lot of money!" Jeff sighed.
The "Ding Dong" elevator enters the basement floor three below, and on the left side of the aisle is a cloakroom, several sets of anti-radiation clothing are hung on the wall, and on the right side is a green radiation-reducing pool.
Generally speaking, after going out to work, even if there is a radiation protection suit to block the radiation particles from the outside world, the body will still be a little contaminated after taking off the clothes. Therefore, it is also necessary to soak the radiation-canceling pool to completely eliminate the effects of radioactive particles on the body.
However, the radiation in the ground is much lighter than that on the surface, and with the barrier of anti-radiation clothing, the harm of radiation particles to the human body has been greatly reduced, and there is no need to soak in the radiation elimination pool.
"Well, your family is well-off!" Christina sighed.
"Yes! A first-class radiation suit with the worst protection level costs 160,000 points" Adeline took off her bright yellow radiation suit, shook her sweaty long hair, and said in response.
"That's all the money in the tribe, our tribe usually relies on hunting, taking the meat and all kinds of metal materials we hunt to the shelter to exchange money. With little by little saving, I was able to buy some of the things produced by the shelter all year round, such as medicines, weapons and ammunition, and cold-resistant clothing. Jeff Lisso said as he changed his clothes and hung his heavy radiation suit on the wall.
Jeff shrugged his shoulders and said, "My father is the best hunter in the tribe, so he became the patriarch. Our family is a small wooden shed, which has nothing to do with the family's wealth. ”
Ethan had been listening quietly outside the door, he was a system warrior, and the radiation intensity below level three was not enough to cause damage to the body of the system warrior, so he didn't need to wear a radiation suit. Generally, when the radiation level reaches level 3, it can be called a 'dead place', and ordinary people who do not take any protective measures only need 10 seconds in that environment, and their bodies will undergo a violent abnormal reaction, and they will die due to rapid organ failure. Even if you wear radiation protection clothing, but the protection level is not enough, you can't stay for a long time.
"I really didn't see it, Jeff! We'll have to talk about it later, and we're curious about the outside world! Christina said, and the others nodded excitedly.
"No problem, if you're curious, your field team will have the opportunity to go outside in the future, but the outside world is more cruel than you think." Jeff responded with a smile.
After a few people changed their clothes, they first took Ethan back to the rest area, and after Christina and the others asked Ethan for instructions, they retired first, only Jeff was still standing in front of his door.
"Isango, there are a few books over there, you can take a look. I'll let you know when it's time for dinner. Jeff didn't know when he put on the same sign on Ethan that he wore on his chest when he first met him:
Name: Jeff Secht
Department: Logistics Group
Position: Internal Affairs - Unemployed Mobile Personnel
After the previous events and a morning together, Jeff is no longer so struggling.
Ethan wondered why Jeff was already a regular employee of the Fifth Operations Team and was still in charge of his housekeeping, but he didn't think much of it, and closed the door with a little head.
Level 1 Vault 125 is just that big. From the chats of several people, Ethan learned that the average shelter can get enough supplies from all over the place to upgrade the shelter within one year of its establishment, but their shelter has been in operation for nearly 2 years, and it has still not been upgraded to a second-level shelter, and everyone speculates that it is probably due to their poor geographical location, located in the most resource-poor seventh district, the blighted desert.
Ethan sat for a while, briefly combing through today's experience, and then suddenly got up and walked out the door.
In the corridor, only one or two people passed by and greeted Ethan.
Moving on, take the elevator to the elevator and go to the training ground on the second floor.
"Huh! Ethan? Isn't it a break today? What's wrong with it? Kevin, who was guiding the training of the combat team at the door, saw Ethan and said in surprise.
"Yo! Who is this? What's going on, it's addicted to being beaten, isn't it? The loud-voiced Athera walked over with a strange scream, and Carl smiled beside him.
"For this morning's steak, being idle is idle anyway." Ethan squinted at Athra and replied wordlessly.
"Hahaha, they all say you have a weird personality, but I think you're a real man, not bad." When Kevin heard Ethan's words, he laughed.
Carl glanced at Athera, causing her to scream "Look at what I'm doing".
"Andy, I owe you yesterday's meal money first, and I will pay you back later." Ethan said to a member of the second combat team that was being trained.
In front of the shadowy monster projection, the four of them formed an iron plate, taking care of each other and repelling the enemy.
The member named "Andy" who heard Ethan's shouting turned his head in shock, and after reacting, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No." However, his negligence caused a gap in the team, and two giant scythe beetles wielding giant jaws pounced, and for a moment they were in danger.
"Andy, focus!" Kevin shouted.
"Yes!" Andy raised his rifle and cooperated with the two members of the assault team who came to fight the fire to kill the two monsters the size of a locomotive.
The thermal weapons in the training ground are also simulated, so naturally there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring others.
"Since you're here, then, Carl, come and practice with Little Brother Ethan!" Ashera said, carrying the wooden sword in his hand.
Carl, who had been silent, nodded in agreement.
Kevin leaned over and reminded, "The smaller the level gap between the two sides of the training, the more experience you will gain from training." ”
Ethan nodded slightly, understanding Athera's intentions.
Arriving at Training Ground No. 4 in the center of the training ground, Ethan and Carl set up a stance, ready to practice.
Just in time, try out the new skills you plagiarized yesterday.
