Deep in the Living

Chapter 5 Chainsaw and Knife
In an era of widespread smart appliances and an overabundance of new energy sources, Luo Di rarely hears the sound of fuel engines running.
This old-fashioned fuel chainsaw also reminded him of his favorite movie.
Before he knew it, his body had arrived in front of the counter.
"Are you interested in chainsaws, young man? You seem to be quite strong, would you like to try it?" The boss with a fat-muscled body would naturally not miss the opportunity to sell, after all, few people buy things like chainsaws nowadays.

"Let me see."

Most of the saws in the shop are retro chainsaws, but there are also a few new chainsaws equipped with high-performance batteries, which are better than traditional chainsaws in terms of charging method, portability and operating power.

Roddy's fingertips slid between the hinge teeth and he carefully sniffed the gasoline smell coming from the engine compartment, as if he had returned to the most classic hunting scene in the movie.

But reason quickly took over and his eyes fell on the price tag.

The price of a vintage chainsaw is around 2600-3000 rubles, which is more than yuan when converted into the currency of his country, while the price of a new electric saw is at least three times higher.

At this time,

At the same time, a handsome face came over and stared at the chainsaws together with Rody.

"You like this kind of thing? That's great. Our practice is tentatively scheduled to be in a forest area. This thing might be very useful. Maybe we can use it to saw wood and make a fire.

Buy this one. This one looks good. ”

The squad leader pointed to a portable electric saw with a silver surface that cost 25000 rubles.

This price was obviously too high for Rody, so he waved his hand to refuse.

But the squad leader had already lifted the silver-plated electric saw to the counter. "There is no gasoline supply where we are going. If the gasoline is used up, this cheap product will be useless. And it is large in size and not convenient to carry.

Don’t worry about the money. As long as you can practice it, its value will far exceed the cost of these items.

Even if I let my dad come, I will definitely choose the most expensive and best for you. This is called effective investment, understand?"

During the two years of high school, Luo Di had no other interactions with the class monitor except for classroom factors. He was not used to this sudden enthusiasm.

However, he did not refuse.

The silver-plated electric saw selected by the squad leader is indeed attractive. It is a brand new product with a retracting function.

Just press the button on the side and the protruding "saw blade" can be folded and retracted. It looks like a small silver suitcase and is of moderate weight. It is easier to control and more powerful than a chainsaw fully loaded with fuel.

Although Luo Di wanted to recreate the original movie scenes, considering the particularity of the practice, it is better to be safe.

"Thank you."

When Luo Di took the chainsaw, he also noticed that there was a very famous company logo engraved on the surface of the body.

Luke Electronics (the word Lok is surrounded by an arc-shaped halo)
Focusing on the manufacturing of modern intelligent power equipment, the quality can be guaranteed.

While Luo Di was feeling the touch of the new electric saw, the squad leader had already gone to the knife shop more than ten meters away.

"Rodi, why don't you choose another knife? After all, a chainsaw is a bit exaggerated. I have never seen anyone use such a thing for self-defense.

Moreover, my tutor also taught me that relying too much on electricity is not a good thing. Only props that are directly driven by our own bioenergy are the safest. "

"Ok."

Luo Di didn't mind, since it was the squad leader who paid for it.

Finally, he chose a machete that suited his style. It was almost the same model as the one in the movie "Friday the 13th". The moment he gripped the solid wooden handle, his arm unconsciously raised and swung towards the uninhabited area.

Swish!
The action is almost exactly like in the movie.

The sound produced by the blade cutting through the air was very heavy.

This scene was seen by other members. Blonde Anna became more interested in this boy and whispered:

"I must arm wrestle this guy if I get a chance."

The monitor raised her arm and motioned for everyone to gather around her. "We have almost bought everything. Now we are going to the institute to check the situation of this practice, and then do a simple physical examination and signature."

"Thank you, Wenwen!"

Anna gave the monitor a bear hug that seemed to be about to crush him out of shape, while Gao Yuxuan nodded politely in thanks.

Roddy had already thanked him when he bought the chainsaw, so he didn't say much.

The vehicle carrying four high school students drove to the municipal research institute. Any institution at the municipal level or above is qualified to arrange "social practice" for students.

The monitor had already arranged everything, and the relevant procedures were completed easily. However, the institute deliberately kept the specific details of the rules a secret, and will explain them in detail when we take the bus to the practice area tomorrow.

"Everyone, remember to go to bed early tonight. We must gather at the entrance of the institute at 06:30 tomorrow. I wish our simulation practice goes well!"

"Ah."

Say goodbye to each other,

After saying goodbye to everyone, Luo Di still chose to take the bus which he thought was the most cost-effective. However, before he reached the bus stop, a pure white coupe had already stopped next to him.

The car window rolled down, and the squad leader waved to him quickly while lowering his sunglasses.

"Come here quickly! I'll be penalized for taking photos later!"

Luo Di first walked to the back seat of the car, but the back was already filled with various things, so he was forced to sit in the passenger seat.

"Captain, can you drive?"

"You can get a learner's license at the age of sixteen. I passed it with full marks, so you can rest assured. Where do you live? I'll take you home."

"Number 13 - Resettlement Community."

The squad leader immediately changed his sitting posture to an upright one, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands and simulating an AI-like voice.

"Received! Precision navigation has been activated. A 20-year-old driver will serve you throughout the journey."

While stepping on the accelerator, the squad leader deliberately glanced at the co-pilot and accidentally caught a glimpse of the faint smile that flashed across Rody's face.

"Tsk~ It seems you can still smile. You've been frowning all day. Gao Yuxuan is the same as you. How boring."

"No."

"Oh, Luo Di, you went to the institute for a physical examination today. Although your physical condition is up to standard, it is not healthy. You are missing a lot of trace elements."

The squad leader changed to driving with one hand, and with his other hand he skillfully opened the center console partition and took out a bottle of vitamins from it.

"I haven't opened the can of this stuff yet, you can have it. Don't be polite to me, as long as you can pass this new practice, I will cover all your expenses in school in the future."

"Row."

Rody was not polite. He had a strong obsession with the body, and this kind of supplement that was helpful to the body was very necessary.

"Monitor, you don't seem to have bought anything today."

"You mean the self-defense gear? I've already prepared it myself. You'll know when the time comes."

"Oh."

Rody said nothing more and turned to look at the city streets flashing by quickly outside the window.

The squad leader also glanced at him again and wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.

All the way in silence,

The car stopped at the gate of the resettlement community. The squad leader stuck his head out and carefully observed this group of old buildings built with state funds, with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Which building do you live in?"

Luo Di carried the bags he had bought today and pointed to the front. "In the back."

"Can I come to your house when I have time in the future? Like during the winter and summer vacations?"

"better not."

The monitor was very keen to notice that when talking about this topic, a hint of displeasure flashed across Rody's face and his eyes looked a little strange, so she quickly interrupted the topic.

"Okay~see you tomorrow!"

"Well, see you tomorrow."
