Opening the wardrobe, Chen Xin planned to find a coat to upgrade and use the system to create a protective suit.
Hanging in the closet are all of Chen Xin's current clothes, including ordinary coats, down jackets that are necessary in winter, and the cold-proof clothing and outdoor equipment he used to survive in the wild with Mo Qingyan and the others.
Chen Xin thought about it, but instead of taking an ordinary coat or down jacket, he took out a red cold-proof jacket and a dark brown tactical poncho.
"Outdoor cold weather clothing"
"Upgrade plan one: upgrade the plush cold-proof inner liner, add a cold-proof mask, improve the thermal insulation effect, improve the waterproof effect of the outer layer, and upgrade the required survival points to 20"
"Upgrade plan two: upgrade acid and alkali-resistant outer fabric, add digital camouflage coating, add protective respiratory mask, improve hazardous environment protection effect, upgrade required survival points to 35"
“Are long-staple cotton, tarps, gas masks, digital camouflage paint, etc. available as material upgrades?”
"Tactical poncho has been provided as material for option two. The survival points required for upgrade are reduced by 15, and the survival points required for upgrade are 20. Do you want to upgrade?"
This is the first time that Chen Xin chooses to upgrade items. Although the upgrade method looks similar to upgrading other things before, it is obvious that item upgrade is not so much an upgrade as a synthesis of props.
Tactical ponchos are used as upgrade materials for cold-proof clothing, but the upgraded cold-proof clothing obviously has the function of tactical ponchos.
After some consideration, Chen Xin chose to upgrade, and also added an old down vest to it, which not only further reduced the survival points required for the upgrade, but also improved the cold-proof and warm performance of the upgraded cold-proof clothing. ability.
After the upgrade, the cold-proof clothing has become a long windbreaker with a gray-black digital camouflage surface. The surface feels almost as smooth as a tactical poncho, but it feels much thicker. At the same time, the surface of the clothing is still smooth. There are a lot of Velcro and tactical storage bags, which can make it easier for Chen Xin to carry various things.
There is an extra thick removable down lining on the inside of the clothes, which makes you feel warm just by looking at it.
What makes Chen Xin most satisfied is that although the lining extends to the hem, it is not simply fixed on the hem, but is also wrapped with a layer of waterproof cloth, which can effectively prevent mud splashed from the ground from staining the inside of the hem.
In addition, along with the protective clothing is a pair of pants made of the same material.
The hat originally stored in the collar has been enlarged a lot and has an extra waterproof brim.
It not only ensures that the head is wrapped, but also prevents rainwater from reaching the face without affecting the line of sight.
In particular, the hat is also connected to a removable protective respiratory mask, which can wrap the entire face without wearing an additional gas mask.
Chen Xin picked up the whole piece of clothing, put it on and tried it on. He jumped on the spot twice more and moved his hands and feet. He found that after putting it on, he could clearly feel the warmth-keeping effect of this piece of clothing. At the same time it is not heavy.
Moreover, the fitting design of the arms does not affect the movement at all, which is enough for the body's flexibility during outdoor activities.
This makes Chen Xin very satisfied. Such a piece of clothing is very helpful for external activities in this environment.
With the protective clothing, Chen Xin finally felt that he could go out boldly with confidence.
After preparing all the things he would need, Chen Xin used his last 5 survival points to make two more magazines and a box of bullets, and put the magazines and fifty rounds of bullets into the protective bag. Carry the ammunition pouch on your suit in case of emergency.
This time when he went out, Chen Xin did not drive.
Although it would be more convenient to transport supplies by car, this time he mainly went to explore the external environment and search for possible supplies. Walking was more concealed and more flexible, and he could go deep into places that were inconvenient for vehicles to enter.
As for moving supplies, Chen Xin felt that he could drive to move them after finding the supplies and confirming the location.
After all, driving consumes gasoline. One trip may cost more than ten liters of gas. Chen Xin must consider the issue of consumption.
Although there are currently no signs of supplies being cut off, and there are still ways to obtain gasoline, in the end of the world any supplies are precious and must be used sparingly.
After preparing all the things that should be prepared, he put them in his backpack, turned off the safety of the pistol and put it in the tactical bag of the protective suit. The upgraded samurai sword was also fixed on the protective suit with Velcro. Chen Xin Then he put the respirator mask on his protective suit on his face, put on his hat, and walked out of the shelter.
Although he was wearing thick and warm protective clothing and a respirator mask on his face, Chen Xin still felt a bit of coldness, and a layer of water mist quickly formed on the respirator mask due to his breathing.
He looked up and looked around. The sky was still as gloomy and dim as before. It was even darker today, almost the same as night, because it was raining lightly.
Although the rain was not heavy, it could even be said to be just a drizzle, and with rainproof protective clothing, Chen Xin didn't care about this level of light rain, but it was not a good thing after all.
Because rain brings not only possible acid rain, but more importantly, cooling. This is why Chen Xin can still feel the cold even though he is wearing thick protective clothing.
Probably most people have had this experience. From September to October every year, if it doesn't rain, the weather will always be very hot, as if summer has never ended.
But once it rains, the temperature will drop immediately, as if autumn is coming in an instant.
It may be better in the south, but in the north, after autumn comes, it’s really a layer of autumn rain and a layer of coolness. Often with just one rain, the temperature can drop precipitously. It might have been 30 degrees yesterday, but today it’s only 30 degrees Celsius. It's twenty degrees.
Autumn seems to have passed directly in these short rains, followed by the cold winter.
According to the original time, it should be the end of May and the beginning of June, when the weather is getting hotter. But now with the continuous drizzle, although Chen Xin did not have a thermometer at hand, he just looked at the temperature on his breathing mask. With this layer of water mist, he felt that the ambient temperature might not even be ten degrees Celsius.
This inevitably made Chen Xin feel worried and worried. The temperature dropped much faster than he expected. This was not something that made people feel calm.
Even if he stays in the shelter, the ground is used as an insulation layer, and the container houses in the shelter are also insulated, but if the temperature continues to drop like this, the consideration of heating issues may have to be put on the agenda. (End of chapter)
