"This should be a deep wetsuit." Mark saw Andy and Beatrice crouching there pulling out a heavy set from the box

"Clothes", to be more accurate to describe this thing, can be said to be the main body of a set of metal composite scuba, heavy metal components and protective helmet, although a little rusty but generally not much damaged, and a set of soft protective clothing with dark blue rubber material embedded inside.

"So you can dive with this, right?" Andy lifted his clothes, this thing sank amazingly, and bizarrely, he also saw strange jets and small propellers behind it, and even this thing may have its own energy in it, and it was inferred from some small letters and signs that there was a nuclear fusion core inserted in it, and this set of equipment seemed to be quite advanced.

"I'm guessing it's something the marauders found in an abandoned research ship, and the wetsuit may have been used to dive into the deepest part of Lake Mead, but I'm not sure to this day—" Mark glanced at the green splash not far away.

"Can it still have enough protection capabilities, after all, those pre-war scientific expedition members definitely don't need to deal with man-eating monsters or extremely dangerous pollutants under the water." Andy let out a casual hum, this thing is not very attractive to him, do you want to wear this thing all the way to the bottom of the lake to fish for fresh food?

Maybe you could change the cap, but given the danger, it's better not to do it, it's not worth it.

"So what do those marauders want this for? Just to fill your stomach? Or is this some kind of dust-eating collectible? "The ghoul had introduced himself as Sulu, but he suddenly said something.

"I know what sharks do with this." Several people looked at him.

"Every once in a while the water tigers will organize an operation, and they will start the biggest boat they can still drive and leave here for somewhere, and the sharks will go into the water in that suit themselves, and I don't know what exactly they did in that place, but in any case they will bring something back..... I don't know how to describe it, I've only heard them call it a rubber ball. Sulu smacked his mouth with missing lips.

"I don't know much about these things, but the guy who was tied up was different." ....................... The ship maggot looked at the outfit a little speechlessly.

"Uh.... Congratulations on getting the most valuable thing here, not one, I thought it had sunk to the bottom. He turned his face to Andy.

"Still, if you want to know about this aspect, should you give me some proper favor? After all, there is no one else here who knows the situation except me, does it? Andy shrugged.

"Oh~ benefits? Maybe I can pretend I didn't see you and set you free, but I can't let you go here, who knows if you're going to run away and fight some bad idea with some of your accomplices. I promise you, when I get back to Hoover Dam, I'll let you go like a fart, what do you think? The ship maggot scoffed.

"Hey, is that all? I really don't think it matters, you don't have any sincerity like this, and your promises are not credible at all, you might as well think about it.... What I can reveal is that the outfit has a chance to earn quite a few bottle caps, but only if you can get the hang of it, right? Andy smiled and nodded at him, then turned and waved at Beatrice.

"Wait! What are you doing? Don't let that mutant monster come to me! The haughty expression on the maggot's face finally disintegrated as Beatrice's shadow enveloped him, and he was screaming as he grabbed his foot with his teeth drooling.

In desperation, he quickly summoned all the relevant situations.

"That suit can help people get into deep places under the water, in.... A place further north-west, I don't know exactly where, but every time we docked the boat there, the shark would jump into the water in that suit, and he would attach it to a big rubber ball that he had found under the water with a chain that he had prepared in advance, and then we would fish it out of the water and store it. ”

"What's the use?"

"If that thing is blown up with explosives, a lot of green juice will gush out of it, and if it flows into the water, it can easily muddy a large area of water, and it will last for a long time.... Also, sometimes this behavior has some extra effect, and sometimes we find some huge monsters underwater, and those guys seem to be in some kind of dormant state, but if you blow up these rubber balls near them, they will wake up. Andy touched his chin, no wonder a huge crab suddenly came out, and the inexplicable heavily polluted lake and the inexplicable water pollution of the Hoover Dam were also explained.

"So, you do this kind of thing a lot? What's in it for you? Don't you think that if you continue to do this, you will invite disaster? Lake Mead is a source of water for a lot of people, and what you're doing is turning the lake into a foul-smelling green soup and guess what they know they're going to do? The ship maggot grinned.

"What? Do you mean it's immoral? It's a luxurious word in the wasteland..... Compared with those things that have no shadow, the immediate benefits are more direct. You just asked us what is the benefit of doing this? Well, to put it simply, we used the liquid in the ball as a bait to attract big fish, and those who were usually hidden in the depths of the water would be attracted to the surface, and then we could easily kill them with large harpoons to get food or sell them to caravans; Of course, we learned to control the dosage later, because if we spread that dirt all at once, we would wake up some of the sleeping guys in the deep water. ”

"Most of the Water Tigers are from the north near the Great Salt Lake, and there are fewer people like me who come from the south, so they prefer to do business with caravans from the north. The merchants came here regularly to collect fish, but it didn't take long for them to learn about our bait and have some ideas, so they were willing to put out bottle caps or other items for us to detonate the rubber balls in a specific place to pollute the lake. ”

"If you're going to ask why that's .... I don't know if you've heard of Jericho? "Andy certainly knows this place.

"I know, I heard that there is a high-grade water purifier left over from before the war... Wait, what do you mean.." Sure enough, the ship maggot came up with a conclusion that matched his guesses.

"Then you should understand that Jericho's main product is clean water, and of course those guys are not satisfied with the market in the nearby area, they need to develop more customers who buy water from them on a regular basis..... As you said, Lake Mead is a source of water for many people, but the water here is of decent quality, and at most it can be boiled or used with a simple homemade filter to barely drink, which is not a good thing for the merchants who sell water, right? Andy's heart moved, but he didn't think that he actually blamed the Crimson Caravan, so it seems that the Crimson Caravan did not directly participate in or strongly support the Water Tiger Gang behind the pollution of Lake Mead.... Of course, this does not mean that they are good people, the Crimson Caravan has a long history of trade with the Water Tigers, and although this kind of exchange is intermittent and extremely unstable due to the replacement of bandits, it is definitely not ignorant of the terrible behavior of the Water Tigers.

In this way, the Crimson Caravan turned a blind eye to their actions, and the reason for this must have something to do with the Crimson Caravan's business of transporting clean water from the Eastern Tribes to the Hoover Dam.

"So... Jericho's merchants are trading favors for you polluting Lake Mead for their business.... Damn, you bastards can't do this kind of self-serving thing anymore, can you? The ship maggot shook his head.

"It won't take more than a week for the water tigers to recover again, and the lack of a gathering point will make it more elusive for them to start scattering again, and that set of clothes was not just one set at the beginning, in fact we found more than ten sets at that time, and they were all in one container. That is, you can't stop it.... Everything will continue to be the same, no matter how good you are, it will be almost impossible to completely find and kill all those people in this huge lake in a short period of time. Andy wasn't going to give up, now that he had the suit, he wanted to go down and see what was going on.

"Tell me where the shark dives, I'm going to go down and have a look." ..................... The speedboat stopped on a water, and the boat maggot looked around with a puzzled face, and vaguely said that it was probably this location, but he couldn't be sure now, because the shark seemed to have some precise positioning method every time, so he didn't worry about finding the location at all, but he didn't have that ability, so he could only rely on his own impression.

Andy took off his trench coat, revealing the Hermes battle armor. Mark stared deeply for a moment, but finally did not speak.

Although he didn't notice Mark's gaze, Andy's own inner evaluation of this set of lined armor was actually not high, it did help Andy slow down the damage caused to him by various impacts many times, but its protection against direct physical damage was actually very poor.

Odysseus's claim of strong all-round protection at the time was not reflected, and he sometimes had a vague feeling that it seemed to be due to more than just a lack of hardware..... But he couldn't figure out what was wrong, and maybe he could only ask Odysseus one day.

Wearing the heavy wetsuit, the main torso has a simple exoskeleton that is perfectly compatible with the Hermes combat armor on his body.

"So, I'll go down and have a look.... Wait a minute. Andy lifted the beep boy on his arm with a little difficulty, this set of things on his body made him a little inconvenient, but due to the existence of the exoskeleton, the weight burden of this set of equipment was greatly reduced, and the power servo was quickly activated to assist him in making movements, but after all, this caused a certain reduction in flexibility.

The beep-beep kid popped up a series of messages. [Connected to a new device] [Information synchronization completed, receive location coordinate information] A punctuation point pops up on the map, and an additional depth data is marked next to it.

Just as he watched the beep boy move slowly, he suddenly stumbled and fell directly, and the terrible weight directly made the speedboat make a loud noise.

Mark and Beatrice helped Andy, who couldn't get up like a turtle, opened the wetsuit to get him out, and Mark took the opportunity to observe the internal structure of the wetsuit and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a moment, he looked at Andy, who was scolding that the wetsuit must be broken, so it didn't work well.

"This thing is kind of similar to the skeleton of power armor .... The power servo system is difficult to control without a certain amount of training, and forcibly wearing it to move is likely to deform the movement or lose control, resulting in a critical situation underwater, why not let me try it? ”
