The convoy set off again, shrinking in size but becoming much more powerful. The scavenger-style paint job was indeed scary, and the guards at the rest stop when they left the city felt a sense of crisis.
Leaving this rest stop, the team is about to enter a high-risk radiation area. It was an area that was "key concern" during the wars of the previous era. After hundreds of years, high doses of radioactive contamination still remain, which is very important to the race.
It is extremely dangerous for Boruto. Cybermen who have retained some biological components have both biological and mechanical weaknesses. They must prevent biological components from being destroyed by radiation, and also prevent mechanical components from being interfered by radiation. It can be said that they are in a dilemma.
Both transport vehicles and armored vehicles are equipped with three-defense devices as standard. There are also shielding layers in the thick armor, so they are not afraid of the radiation environment. However, hunters riding in ordinary vehicles are more difficult. They must wear bulky protective clothing and have to close the
Disconnecting the vehicle's electronic system and driving in purely manual mode will undoubtedly be quite tiring.
Although the radiation zone is only more than 30 kilometers in diameter, the convoy must detour from the edge, which will increase the distance. The radiation intensity inside the area is too high, and protective clothing cannot effectively protect the safety of personnel, and the peripheral equipment of the transport vehicle
It will also be destroyed, making it impossible to enter. As for a longer detour, that is also impossible. There is a large stretch of mountains in front of it, and the radiation zone is just at the gap in the mountains, just like a city gate.
There is no other choice.
Before the convoy enters the radiation area, it must be fully prepared at the temporary camp, because after entering, everyone must maintain a protective state until it exits the radiation area. Hunters must take advantage of this opportunity to fully resupply to avoid being trapped in the radiation area
If the chain is dropped, it will be very fatal.
Raeder's concept of the radiation zone only existed in documents and works. She couldn't help but panic when she saw the hunters dressing up as if they were facing a powerful enemy. She did not prepare relevant armor, and the general model carried by the caravan
She couldn't put it on. The other heavily armored hunters had prepared special protective suits and put them in the transport truck. Now they all took them out and started putting them on. She was the only one standing aside and watching.
"Miss Dance! Miss Dance!"
"Just call me Xiao Wu. Haven't we already made friends?"
"What should I do! What should I do!"
"What do you mean?"
"Protective clothing! I don't have any protective clothing to wear!"
"If not, wouldn't it be better if I didn't wear it?"
"What crazy talk are you talking about! People will die!"
"You can't die. You've mechanically ascended. What can this mere radiation do to you?"
"My body can't withstand such high-intensity radiation! It will break down!"
"Don't worry, you won't die. Hundreds of years have passed, and the radiation intensity is no longer so scary. The radiation energy emitted by the nuclear bomb is very weak, not as scary as you think. Your body is already advanced, and now there is another layer outside
Metal protection, just cover the heat dissipation holes and you’ll be fine.”
"Then why are you dressed so tightly!"
"Me? I want to avoid being out of tune with others!"
"Another excuse!"
"It's not an excuse, that's what it is! Anyway, don't worry. As long as you don't run to the central area to die, it's basically like doing a few X-rays. Relax~"
"This is a fatal matter, how could I not take it seriously?"
"It's okay when I say it's okay. Haven't you been okay so far? I know how to protect you, you just have to accept it!"
"Can't you have a better attitude?"
"You have a good attitude and you don't listen! You think I want to yell at you!"
"Woo~"
"Get ready to go. The radiation zone is a no-man's land where birds don't shit. Unless something unexpected happens, you will basically not encounter any danger. Don't be too nervous. Just treat it as a slightly risky sightseeing trip. You don't always want to look outside.
world, now is a good opportunity to understand this reality, and be optimistic."
"What if there is an accident? We have had two accidents in a row this time..."
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
"All right……"
The rested convoy set off again and entered the radiation zone in perfect condition. It is said that this place was formerly a heavy military factory, so it was taken care of by nuclear bombs. In history, countless brave and greedy treasure hunters have come here
Here, they wanted to unearth the dating technology of the previous era, but apart from the wreckage, they did not find many valuable things. On the contrary, many people lost their lives because they went too deep and lost their way. The wreckage of those factories are piled high on top of each other.
Like a maze, the radiation dust that hangs over the area all year round is more terrifying than the pollution cloud. Coupled with the special environment, all navigation methods will become ineffective, and it is even impossible to look at the sun or stars.
Although these treasure hunters did not get what they wanted, they inadvertently discovered a safe channel, which became a lifeline for everyone to cross here. This important road is served by strong and durable metal towers.
There are road signs and countless signs warning passers-by not to run around without thinking. Even the scavengers who destroy everything take great care of these facilities because they also need these things to guide the direction, and sometimes even give them to the people on the tower.
Change the battery of the indicator light or something. The unique atmosphere here has also led to a magical phenomenon, that is, people who meet here, regardless of their identity, will treat each other as neutral and will never attack each other, even if the other person is a scavenger.
Same. If anyone does not follow the rules and messes around here, he will be blacklisted by everyone, and sooner or later he will die on the road for no apparent reason.
The convoy was lucky enough to meet another caravan that had just come out of there before entering the area, and learned that the environment in the radiation area is now quite stable, and there are no dangerous disasters such as sandstorms and lightning storms. Almost no one goes there in this era.
We have studied meteorology, so the causes of disasters that often occur in radiation areas are also unknown.
The stretching mountains are like a huge black wall that reaches the sky. No matter you look to the left or right, you can't see the end. And in the middle of the mountains is a gap-like gentle open area, which is where glaciers or rivers washed out in ancient times.
It came out. But now it is difficult to see large areas of water on the surface, so this kind of knowledge is difficult for modern people like Raeder to imagine.
The sky above the gap is filled with layers of gray-yellow "clouds" that are constantly rolling, with lightning and thunder flashing from time to time. It looks really scary. But in fact, this thing poses no threat to people on the ground.
, it’s just a bit of a mental shock at most. As long as there are no sandstorms and no sudden thunder and lightning, it is very safe to pass through. There are unmanned simple weather stations set up at the exits on both sides of the radiation zone, from which you can obtain local weather information.
Meteorological conditions. Of course, this is not a weather forecast. It simply records weather changes. Judgment depends on everyone’s experience.
The caravan had already maintained the weather station when it left, because everyone did not stop and drove directly into the radiation zone. The ruins of the large military industrial city lay quietly among the mountains, like a
A huge tomb. But for the people on the ground, they could not see the whole city, only the ruins that were dilapidated and piled together.
The so-called safe route is actually the ring road of the previous era, but the road surface has long since disappeared, leaving only gray gravel and dust. The team will follow this road to circle most of the city to reach the mountains.
On the other side, there is a second rest stop waiting for them. This rest stop seems to be a little close to the previous one, but it is equally significant and irreplaceable. This is the only supply base on both sides of the radiation zone.
It is the continuation of the lifeline between cities.
"It always feels so peaceful~ There is no movement at all nearby, not even the wind. This place is really dead."
Raeder huddled on the side of the truck and stared at the scenery, with a tarpaulin tightly wrapped around her body. She was worried that radiation dust would get in through the gaps in the armor and contaminate the body, so she made a temporary protective suit that was better than nothing.
"Don't say such unlucky words, I don't want to be attacked again!"
Xiao Wu, who was driving, shouted angrily.
"Hey? What's so unlucky?"
"It's just unlucky. Just take a good look at the scenery and shut up!"
"Oh... but this city is really big~ Is it so big with a diameter of 30 kilometers?"
"It's really rare for people like you to live in a birdcage. This is just an industrial town, and its scale is far from that of a real big city!"
"Have you ever seen a real big city?"
"We will pass by the legendary city of death later."
