"So, without wearing these specialized protective gear, ordinary people would not be able to move around on the current surface at all?"

On the way to board the plane, Qu Xiao took the opportunity to ask Muyu about the situation. The latter was patient and slowly explained to him what was going on outside:

"Judging from our previous contacts, the situation is indeed like this. Ordinary humans like us cannot move normally on the surface without wearing isolation suits. The intense radiation has been completely integrated into the air.

Once the skin comes into contact with radiation, it will be corroded and damaged. As long as normal humans stay under this kind of radiation for more than two days, problems will occur in the internal organs, resulting in various serious complications and accelerated death.

"

Qu Xiao then asked: "Then how long can ordinary people live under such radiation?"

Mu Yu replied: "It will only take five or six days at most. This is not a very conservative estimate. If symptoms such as scurvy occur, it will be severe and cannot last even three days."

Qu Xiao's eyes shrank when he heard this. He glanced at the thick isolation suit he was currently wearing, and he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

Fortunately, the base was heavily guarded and did not allow him to escape easily. Otherwise, his escape would have been like a moth flying into a flame, sending him into a bigger fire pit.

From this point of view, the matter of escape still needs to be considered in the long term...

Even if you are lucky enough to escape, how to deal with the radiation from the outside world is still a question that needs to be thought about clearly.

"Oh, by the way." Mugure suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, this should be your first overseas assignment, right? 9527."

Qu Xiao nodded in affirmation.

"Then you must pay attention to protecting yourself later." Muyu continued, "The outside world is much more dangerous than you think. Those places are no more dangerous than inside the company, there are heretics everywhere."

Qu Xiao caught a new word: "Heresy? What is that?"

"It's the company's name for external refugees." Changfeng beside him interjected and explained, "Not everyone in this world is as lucky as us to be adopted by the company. There are still many people who are struggling to survive in the outside world.

In a radioactive wasteland."

Qu Xiao was shocked: "Then how did they survive?!"

Megure explained: “In addition to the isolation suits we wear now, the pre-apocalyptic world also produced a lot of protective equipment that can resist radiation. Although it does not account for a large proportion of the total population of the world before the apocalypse, it can still save lives.

Some people came down, and these rescued people established their own new post-apocalyptic society on the upper surface, resumed production, and produced more isolation suits for use."

"So, in fact, there are also human civilization fires in the outside world?"

"Objectively speaking, yes." Megure nodded, "However, most of these people are against the interests of the company. They illegally collected the items and caused great damage to the interests of the company, so the company

They call it heresy, and that's the enemy we need to deal with."

"Then our mission this time..."

"The purpose is to get back what belongs to the company from a group of heretics."

Just as Mu Yu was talking, the instrument worn on his wrist suddenly started flashing "Didi". This was the team leader's unique communication equipment. Whenever it made a sound, it meant that new mission information had appeared.

After looking down for a few times, Muyu's expression suddenly became solemn. Seeing this, the others also came over. From the captain's expression, they could sense that what was coming was not good news.

"Is it information about the contained objects?" Changfeng asked.

Muyu gritted his teeth and acquiesced.

Xiaolan then asked: "What type of containment is it? Is it mentioned specifically above?"

"Yes." Muyu took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions before she continued, "The superiors told me that there is more than a 70% chance that the ability to recover objects is related to the audio."

"Audio?!"

Except for Qu Xiao, everyone's eyes changed. A kind of silent pressure spread quickly, and in an instant, it suppressed all the movement around them.

Seeing that everyone suddenly stopped talking, Qu Xiao felt very strange. He didn't know the meaning behind the concept of "audio" that Muyu mentioned just now.

But looking at everyone's appearance, Qu Xiao could guess that they must be very powerful.

"As far as I know, our base currently doesn't have any armor that can protect against audio attacks..." Lone Wolf touched the stubble on his chin, "It's probably quite a task to leave this task to our team configured like this.

tricky."

"But now that the mission has been released, it is impossible to go back on it." Megure rubbed her forehead, disturbing thoughts surging in her mind. As the captain, she had also lost some confidence at this moment.

But Changfeng suddenly said: "Actually, it's not impossible to cope with it, right? I remember, there are noise-canceling headphones on the plane we are going to take later..."

"You expect to use that thing to resist the audio attack of the contained object?" Lone Wolf raised his eyebrows, "Stop dreaming, that thing can't even block your voice, how can it possibly block the special ability attack of the contained object!"

"That's better than not preparing anything at all..."

Muyu nodded and agreed: "Changfeng is right. It is better to be prepared than not to be prepared. Even if it is a meager amount of protection, it is safer than us performing the mission naked."

While the few people were talking, they had already arrived at the carrier plane's boarding gate. At this time, the plane's door had been opened. In the tail space, which was like a huge black box, there were more than a dozen seats equipped with safety ropes arranged in rows.

Megure walked in first and found a seat at the head. The rest of the team members also filed in and sat side by side on both sides of the plane.

When Qu Xiao saw this, he also walked up. After fastening the safety rope like everyone else, the plane door closed automatically, and soon he felt the plane begin to rise. This strange vehicle that looks like a box,

It can go straight up and down like a helicopter.

Soon the plane left the ground, and Qu Xiao could feel the rising weight, but because the plane didn't have any windows, he didn't know what the outside world was like.

After the plane took off, everyone started chatting with each other. Qu Xiao happened to want to know about Changfeng and Lone Wolf, so he took this opportunity to start chatting:

"Changfeng, why do you and Lone Wolf always quarrel?"

It was fine even if I didn't ask, but when I asked, everyone on the plane except the two people's expressions changed.

As if hearing a very scary ghost story, Xiao Lan and Lao Guan took out their noise-canceling headphones and blocked their ears.

Even Megure stepped back, as if preparing for the coming storm.

"You want to know this?"

Hearing this, Changfeng and Lone Lang became interested. Judging from their behavior, they probably had talked about this matter with other people before.

Qu Xiao nodded: "Yeah."

"Okay, let me talk to you..."

"Hey! Why are you here? It's more objective for me to deal with this kind of thing!"

As soon as Changfeng opened his mouth, he was immediately interrupted by Lone Wolf, and then the two of them started arguing again, and the noise was louder than the hum of an airplane engine.

At this time, Qu Xiao probably understood why others were so afraid of him opening up this topic. Whenever matters between the two of them were involved, Changfeng and Lone Wolf would always quarrel over each other.

But neither side can convince the other. Therefore, the quarrel is simply about who has the louder voice. For the two of them, it is a war of attrition, and for the people next to them, it is simply a war of attrition.

Continuous torture.

Qu Xiao forced his ears to listen carefully, and almost understood what both sides meant. From Changfeng's point of view, he felt that Lone Wolf had been causing trouble for him, but from Lone Wolf's point of view, he thought that Changfeng was usually too much.

Zhang Yang felt that everyone needed to sell his face, so he often argued with him in order to frustrate the former.

The two talked about each other's past while talking, and through their quarrel-like exchanges, Qu Xiao came to know the true origin of the name Lone Wolf——

The control team that Lone Wolf originally belonged to was called "Wolves". Like the current Eye Blood Team, it was a standard-sized team with six members. However, during an overseas mission, the other members of the team all

He was killed in the attack. Lone Wolf held on for a while until he was rescued, but he was the only survivor in the entire team.

Because almost everyone in the organization died, the base simply canceled the designation as soon as they were considered. The lone wolf was forcibly merged into the Eyeblood Team, which was short of people at the time. However, in order to commemorate his former teammates, he

Changed his name to "Lone Wolf".

As the name suggests, Lone Wolf is the last remnant of the wolf pack. His character is not as aloof as the name suggests, so when he meets the equally talkative Chang Feng, there will inevitably be a lot of friction between the two. Of course,

Generally speaking, the relationship between the two is actually very good. Happy Enemy is the situation between the two of them.

Regarding this, everyone else in the team also knew that after getting used to the noise of these two live treasures bickering every day, sometimes the sudden silence made everyone feel very uncomfortable.

This may be the so-called "squad culture"...

Qu Xiao sighed for a while.

The more they get along with each other, the more he feels that everything around him seems very real, even though he knows very well in his heart that the current environment he is in is actually full of deceptions and lies.

The thoughts in his mind spread, and time passed quietly as Qu Xiao thought. The plane soon reached the target area and began to descend rapidly. A very obvious sense of weightlessness enveloped everyone's bodies.

"Check the gear!"

Muyu shouted and stood up. With her reminder, this mission officially began.
