Chapter 47 The arrival of a new mission (additional update for AT, please vote for follow-up reading)
Time passed day by day as Hu Biao, Lao Yang, Xu Feng, AT and others were constantly preparing like hamsters before winter.
Finally today has come 30 days since the last mission and the return to the modern plane.
According to what the system said when the last task was settled, at a time point of 3:36 in the middle of the night the next day, the new task officially started.
Today, Hu Biao finally stopped delivering food.
Throughout the day, Hu Biao was polishing his body, resting, and at most going out to urgently buy some small things that he thought of at the last moment, adding them to his reserve supplies.
In short, time gradually passed through such things one by one.
This situation lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening.
Hu Biao used his deft hands and feet to place some blanched pig's feet on the induction cooker and began to stew them; this big pot of meat was the midnight snack he had prepared for himself.
I plan to start driving around 1:30 midnight, so that I can have enough calories to go into the mission world after eating well.
Because even he doesn't know what kind of wilderness the system will throw him into after it starts.
And when will we have to wait for the next meal?
According to Hu Biao's plan, such a late-night snack should be finished around 2 o'clock, leaving one and a half hours of digestion time.
You will not be too full and have difficulty moving, which will affect your activities before entering the task.
While waiting for the pig's feet to be stewed over low heat, Hu Biao began to take inventory and organize his equipment for the last time.
At this moment, his entire bed is filled with equipment and supplies, which is everything he has prepared this month.
Let’s not talk about whether it is useful or not, but this pile of things has basically exhausted all of Hu Biao’s brain cells and means, and of course his wallet.
By the way, he not only asked Brother Xiao Ma to make a turnover, but also asked Brother Dong to make a few more purchases before he could collect all the things.
At about six o'clock in the evening, he went out to the vegetable market and bought a relatively cheap pig hind leg. Anyway, Hu Biao only had 9.2 yuan left.
Hu Biao was still shy about paying this month's rent and asked the landlord to wait for a week before paying the rent.
With a strong and difficult feeling, Hu Biao looked at this pile of things and counted them one by one:
First of all, in terms of equipment, Hu Biao put on a set of silk pajamas, and then put on a set of the best thermal underwear in his wardrobe, and then put on a stab-proof vest.
Not to mention! This stab-proof vest actually has a very good thermal insulation function.
After wearing it, the thermal insulation effect is even better than a woolen sweater.
In this way, as long as he put on the iconic jacket of a certain boy on top of the Mingguang Armor, Hu Biao thought that even with a temperature of several degrees below zero, a southerner like himself would not be able to bear the cold.
As for his lower body, Hu Biao wore a pair of his thickest jeans and a pair of riot boots said to be civilian style.
Although the boots cost Hu Biao more than 200 yuan, considering that a thin steel plate was installed on the sole and toe tip to provide anti-thorn function, I am quite satisfied with it.
And the piece of Mingguang Armor rewarded by Guo Shuai has now been repaired.
Specifically, Hu Biao removed all the broken armor plates and replaced them with brand new steel armor plates, which no longer had any large or small gaps.
Unfortunately, looking at the repaired armor, Hu Biao's confidence was somewhat lacking.
Mainly based on Hu Biao and online videos for reference, but when using cowhide strips to wear nail patches for repair, the technique is always a bit imperfect.
I've been going back and forth for many hours, but I still haven't fixed it.
Annoyed, I took the wire and vise and screwed a few pieces on.
After using this simple and crude method, the armor was repaired. However, Hu Biao was not so sure whether the repaired armor would be strong and usable in battle.
In addition, Hu Biao took the canned gray spray paint and sprayed a layer of the entire armor without leaving any dead spots.
The originally majestic armor looked a little dusty, like a piece of tatters that had been used for who knows how many years.
But this is not important. What is important is that Hu Biao is low-key enough when wearing it.
If he had other options compared to his opponent, he would definitely not choose such a goal that was worthless at first sight; it was the opponent Hu Biao found in the battle, and he would suffer losses if he was careless.
The above are the protective equipment Hu Biao prepared.
In terms of weapons, of course there is the 3.2-meter long wenge wood spear.
In addition to this, there is also a Tang Heng Dao bought for 398 yuan on Pinjiaishao, which is used as a weapon for Hu Biao in close combat.
The material of this thing is high manganese steel, with a total length of 103 cm and a blade length of 70 cm.
It is fairly easy to wield, and in ancient times it was definitely a sword-level weapon.
It's just that Hu Biao didn't want to have the chance to use this thing at all, because apart from swinging a guy and slashing at it, he didn't know any related combat skills.
Finally, there are the Malay machete brought back from the last mission, and a total of 24 throwing knives.
It should be noted that among the above weapons, whether they are long guns, Tang Hengdao, or even throwing knives, they are not sharpened after they are delivered by courier.
During this period of time, Hu Biao took the whetstone and sharpened the edge bit by bit, which made his old nose useless...
****
After counting the weapons and equipment, Hu Biao felt that there was nothing more to add. The main reason was that he thought that after a month of reasonable work, rest and exercise, his physical strength had been greatly improved.
But after all, there is an upper limit to the weight that one person can carry.
Even if he takes more equipment and supplies forcibly to the mission world, it will affect his mobility and become a huge burden.
Later, he took inventory of related consumables: these numerous items basically filled a 45-liter hiking bag.
As for the supplies for mountaineering bags, they come in all kinds of varieties.
In terms of medicines, there are three rolls of gauze, five bottles of powdered YN white medicine, one bottle of spray, one bottle of oral glucose, one bottle of water purification tablets and snake medicine, five boxes of oral cephalosporin, penicillin, and cold medicine, and a set of sutures.
Needle and thread for the wound.
Of course, there is also the indispensable ‘Ma Yinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment’, Hu Biao bought 10 tubes in one go.
In order to save space, the packaging boxes of these medicines have been removed.
In terms of outdoor equipment, Hu Biao directly bought a multifunctional military shovel worth 128 yuan.
I don’t know if it is useful or not, but this thing claims to have many functions such as an axe, a knife, a manuscript, a bottle opener, a scale, etc. The hollow handle is also equipped with a magnesium rod, a pocket compass, etc.
It can be said that one specialization can do a lot and save considerable space.
In addition, Hu Biao also hung a six-power telescope with night vision function on the outside of the backpack.
In terms of food, Hu Biao brought five packs of compressed biscuits, three 500g boxes of canned braised beef, a 200g pack of salt, two large pieces of chocolate and a handful of fruit candies.
A 500 ml kettle filled with Dongpeng, a functional drink.
Frankly speaking, this kind of food reserve is a bit lacking, but Hu Biao thinks it is enough.
Because these are emergency foods, reserves that are only used at the most critical times; if he really had to bring all the food needed in the mission world, he thought that even if he filled the bag, it might not be enough.
In addition, although he did not bring a fishing pole, he did bring a set of relatively small fishing lines and hooks. As long as he encountered the right environment, he could still fish to replenish his food.
In addition, there is a sand cigarette and five boxes of Botou matches in the hiking bag.
What's the deal with sand cigarettes? If you don't bring them, you won't die if you don't smoke them. But in times of high mental stress, Hu Biao thinks it's really indispensable.
Finally, there were two rolls of toilet paper, a material that seemed even more outrageous on the surface.
The problem is, if you really try convenience and can only use a piece of hemp rope or a piece of bamboo to solve the hygiene problem, you will know how necessary this thing is...
PS: In order to advance to the next round of new book recommendations, I ask for all kinds of help.
