Chapter 197 Ground Operations in front of the Grand Theater 1
The scenery on the ground is always different.
In the first twenty years, Xie Yuan's approximate activity range was a 5-kilometer radius centered on the North Exhibition Hall Station.
Later, on the way to deliver the letter, Xie Yuan also saw many places that were blocked by the steel jungle and could not be reached. For example, the library, which was Xie Yuan's first time in this world.
Later, after joining the Ranger Corps, the range of the ground tour became wider, because the Ranger Corps has armored patrol vehicles on the ground. Although it is not so free, you can go wherever you want, but it also allows Xie Yuan
I experienced a lot of scenery.
At least until now, Xie Yuan has not felt tired. It is actually the isolation caused by the nuclear explosion that prevents Xie Yuan from walking too far. He really wants to see the colors of the outside world.
But he can no longer stay out overnight. When standing in the exhibition hall, he is worried about his family and Pao Ze who need protection. Now that he has joined the army, he cannot wander around. "No attendance at will" is a rule. As a soldier, he cannot
Violate.
It was also because he was captured by the Fourth Reich this time that he could finally be a little free.
…
"Man, we have to speed up the progress here." Pavel, who opened the floor cover and crawled out, pulled Xie Yuan and then said, "We don't have much time before dark, do you understand?"
Xie Yuan nodded to show that he had listened.
"Okay, because the tunnel collapsed, we can't go to the regular channel. The only way to reach the escalator to the theater station is to walk from the surface." Pavel explained the current situation, "I believe we all want to be trapped here forever.
in the dark night.”
Of course, Xie Yuan knew it was best not to spend the night here, not only because the patrols of the Fourth Reich would come out, but this was still a border area after all, and it was impossible to predict whether mutant monsters would come looking for food.
There is no guarantee of safety here, but there are some remnants left by the predecessors.
"Someone may have left some supplies here, which may be helpful for getting out." Xie Yuan pointed to a box on the table not far from him, "It's a bit like the rangers left it. Unfortunately, there are no veterans here, so I can't
Confirmation, but let’s open it and take a look first.”
"If the rangers keep it, we'll be in luck." Pavel, who was interested, immediately walked to the box and was about to open it. "And as long as the rangers stay, they will stay... Wow."
Placed in the box were two pairs of gas masks, which were just enough for two people. However, there was one thing Pavel felt was a fly in the ointment: "What a pity! The canisters are running out. We have to make do with what we use."
But what's there to complain about? So Pavel quickly changed his mood: "Oh, come on! Take whatever you want? In the subway, we are all brothers."
Looking at Pavel who was wearing a mask, Xie Yuan had no choice but to put on the mask as well. It had to be said that this was a sealed chemical mask that was about to be scrapped and had many flaws.
But again, it's better to have something than nothing.
After thinking about it, Xie Yuan left some military bullets in his hand in the box, just as a reward for the two masks that saved his life.
"Hey, Pavel! Go on." Xie Yuan is not afraid whether the canister is complete. He is more adaptable than anyone here, and if it doesn't work, he has a better "chemical mask".
But Pavel is still a normal person. He needs to time the time when the canister takes effect, so Xie Yuan took off his watch and gave it to him, "Repay me at the station."
"Wow, thank you." Pavel, who was holding the watch, put it on his wrist very preciously, "This way I can know how much air I have left. What about you? Do you have any extra?"
Although he longs for such a watch, Pavel still has some basic worries.
"Many things are scarce on the ground, but filters are not necessarily available," Xie Yuan asked him to use it with ease. "Don't worry about me. I have received survival training in a thin oxygen environment and am more adaptable than ordinary people."
Moreover, Xie Yuan's watch is just a timekeeping device, so he doesn't regret it very much.
"Okay, Superman, I know you have accepted some very difficult things, but they are not as good as what is going to happen next," Pavel stood in front of the exit and took a deep breath, introducing the place to Xie Yuan who had never been here before.
Terrible, "So, Artyom, remember - if you want to live, always be vigilant, understand?"
"Received (crystal)" Xie Yuan made a receiving gesture.
During the journey, Pavel also knew Xie Yuan's name, but I don't know whether it was because Xie Yuan didn't bring his iconic double swords or because Pavel didn't understand the things in the north.
He didn't seem to have much reaction to the name - Xie Yuan could even "read" his calm emotions from his heart.
Two possibilities: either Pavel knew that the real Xie Yuan had this ability and he deliberately resisted; or he thought it was a duplicate name.
Xie Yuan doubted the former, but he also tended to think it was the latter. Slavs were actually very poor in their own names, such as Boris, Vladimir, Andreevich, etc.
This Pavel has the same name as Xie Yuan's colleague Pavel in the army, so Pavel may also think that Artem also has the same name.
Although Xie Yuan doesn't think anyone else can call his name, it doesn't matter to Xie Yuan if Pavel doesn't point it out - it's not a completely happy thing to be called a "monster killer". Of course, if he can pretend
Pretending is better.
"Ah sky! There is still sunlight!" Suddenly he walked to the ground, and a burst of intense white light suddenly burst out, forcing Xie Yuan to cover the light with his hands - this is the phenomenon of light adaptation.
"Oh, that's amazing!" Pavel's exclamation sounded in his ears. It wasn't until he slowly adapted to seeing the surrounding environment that Xie Yuan saw the surroundings - he suddenly understood that after Jarvik woke up, looking at their ordinary
The reason for the remaining ruins of Luoxian people.
Desolation, despair, and nostalgia, this is what it means to look at tall buildings that are damaged and decayed on the inside but still intact on the outside under the dim skylight, standing alone in the city.
And below them there was the wreckage of a plane, inserted into the ground below like an onion.
This wreckage is also the focus of Pavel's attention: "I heard about this place. When the whole city was in flames of war, the plane was flying to Moscow.
And where the plane crashed... well, it was the entrance to the theater."
"Such a high place? Wouldn't it mean that all the people on the plane were killed?" Xie Yuanxin said, "Well, it's another gathering place for supernatural phenomena."
However, Pavel did not answer Xie Yuan's question - obviously, with a global nuclear explosion and a plane crash, who has the good luck to survive with his whole body?
On the contrary, he was surprised by today's weather: "The ice here has melted... It feels like spring..."
The good weather even gave him a feeling: "Ah, Artem, maybe we can still live to see summer!"
"Actually, it's summer." Xie Yuan looked at a scene of everything reviving after early spring. "In nuclear winter, it is unlikely that it will return to normal in less than fifty years. It took Chernobyl thirty years.
Governance can barely survive, and it’s hard to say it won’t take that long here.”
Pavel will just feel sad for a while. If you tell him this, he will no longer be interested and will just take the lead and find a place to go downhill.
But it wasn't raining, it was sliding. It was sliding down slowly through a concave landslide. And just when it was sliding here... the sun was immediately covered by dark clouds - it was raining.
Pavel immediately shouted excitedly like a child: "Hey! It's raining! It's raining! Artem, when was the last time you saw it rain? Ah! Damn it's cool! I guess that's it.
Before nuclear war!”
In fact, if we talk about rain alone, it started to rain that day when we went to snipe the little black bad guy - the drifting rain that comes with the wind, you can call it stagnant water.
But today it really rained!
But Xie Yuan is not as excited as Pavel... light rain can easily develop into thundershowers or storms.
Moreover, Xie Yuan couldn't take off his mask to feel the raindrops hitting his face on the way. The Geiger counter on his wrist buzzed just where they passed.
"Ah, damn! Nuclear radiation," Pavel complained as he quickened his pace, "I feel like my sleeves are about to burn."
In fact, this was just an illusion, but another reason for speeding up the pace was that the storm came as expected just after Xie Yuan and Pavel entered an intersection.
