Chapter 60 Wasteland Picking Up Garbage

With the gun, Chen Xin felt that his safety was greatly guaranteed and improved, so he couldn't help but think about going outside for a walk.

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

However, even if you have a gun in your hand, Chen Xin felt that he should be well prepared when he wanted to go out.

At the very least, a protective suit that can completely wrap yourself up, a gas mask that can be used for a long time in an external environment, and a strong flashlight that can provide good lighting. These must be prepared.

In addition to these, kettles, medical kits, and even foods you carry with you all need to be prepared.

Of course, Chen Xin had prepared a gas mask, medical kit, kettle, and flashlight, all of which were ready-made, so there was no problem going out to explore.

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

At this time, the outside environment was through going out when exchanging supplies twice before. Chen Xin had already understood that two months after the meteorite fell, the temperature in the outside world had begun to drop. Although it has not dropped below zero, it is still relatively cold.

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

So if you want to go out, keeping your clothes warm is a must.

This is easy to say. After all, since you already know that the temperature will drop to minus dozens of degrees Celsius in the future, you are really stupid if you don’t prepare clothes that can keep warm.

Not to mention anything else in Chen Xin’s wardrobe, there are still two items such as down jackets and cold-proof clothes.

Just considering the external environment, Chen Xin did not basically stay in the car like before when he went out, but needed to be exposed to the external environment for a long time. Therefore, in addition to keeping warm, the clothes should also have certain protection capabilities.

The protection ability referred to here is not to prevent radiation, but to prevent the skin from contacting toxic and harmful components in the air.

The harm of toxic and harmful components in the air is actually much more severe than radiation in terms of harm. Once some gases enter the human body through breathing, they can cause dizziness, difficulty breathing, shock and other symptoms. In severe cases, they can even cause death in a short period of time.

Some gases are even more serious. Even if they are only contacted through the skin, they may cause damage such as redness, ulceration, peeling, cracking, etc. When contacting the eyes or mucosa, they will cause strong irritation, causing many reactions such as redness and swelling, and may even lead to blindness.

If it were just a big fire, there would be a lot of sulfides and toxic and harmful gases such as carbon monoxide in the air, but there were many large chemical plants around the city.

In fact, Chen Xin grew up in a chemical factory since he was a child. At the beginning, their family lived in the factory's family area. Because everyone around him was engaged in the chemical industry, Chen Xin knew the harm of toxic and harmful gases very well.

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

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

When the person was rescued, his skin was already dry and cracked, as if he was exposed to sunlight and dehydrated. The surface of his skin was covered with dandruff layer by layer, even his eyes turned gray and his hair was even more like dry straw.

The tragic situation of the migrant worker scared Chen Xin, who was less than 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 childhood. If he did not have enough protection, he would definitely not take risks.

And more importantly, although chemical plants are very important for post-disaster reconstruction, the city government should repair these chemical plants as soon as possible, but unfortunately, most of these chemical plants are super-grade fireproof units, and once a fire catches, it causes an explosion...

Chen Xin didn’t know how damaged these chemical plants have now, but it is certain that the air quality in the city must be very poor now.

I went out twice before, once I drove, and once I just stayed at the shelter for a while. Both times I didn’t seem to be exposed to the external environment for a long time, so there was no big problem.

But since I decided to go to wasteland to pick up garbage this time, it is obvious that it is impossible to stay in the car all the time. I must have to stay in a possible dangerous environment for a long time.

In fact, for survivors in a doomsday environment, unless they have to obtain resources, a safe environment leaving the shelter is the most wrong way.

Because in the end of the world, no one knows what kind of crisis is hidden in the once safe environment. It may be a lurking zombie in the zombie film that has been filmed, or a bandit from the wasteland wind, or it may be an invisible fatal 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 still decided to go out once. As for the reason, of course, it is not the so-called experience of picking up garbage in wasteland, but rather that he hopes to go out and have a holistic understanding of the current environment, and search for materials that may exist.

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

For example, in some supermarkets or convenience stores, although the shops facing the street will be burned out, the warehouses with inventory in the store may not be certain, and they may be able to survive.

If Chen Xin could find such a warehouse that had not been burned by fire, not to mention anything else, even if he only found a few bottles of fat house happy water, it would be worth the ticket price.

If you want to go out, protective clothing becomes the top priority.

A qualified protective suit not only needs to be able to wrap the body, avoid skin being exposed as much as possible, but also needs to be resistant to acid and alkali and corrosion. If used in a chemical factory, it even needs to be anti-static.

For example, in "Death Stranding", the protagonist is wearing courier costumes or Rhode Island operator uniforms.

Both of them are often moved in dangerous environments, and their clothes are protective clothing with certain protective functions.

In today's external environment, it is normal to have acid rain. If it does not have good protective properties, it is definitely not a pleasant experience to be covered with acid rain. You may even have to literally take off a layer of skin.

If there is no system, Chen Xin may suppress his mood and ask Qin Lan to get a protective suit when exchanging supplies next month.

The special police team is responsible for maintaining the public order of major shelters. If you need to go out for field operations, a safe and reliable protective suit will still appear in their equipment.

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