Equipment Library
Liu Xia turned off the shower valve, wiped his body roughly with a towel, and put on the lead-gray protective suit that the guards had already prepared. Several people had checked these clothes before, and there were no eavesdropping devices installed on them.
The tattered clothes, covered in dust, blood, and a foul smell, had already been crumpled into a ball and thrown into the corner.
The wet, half-length hair stuck to the side of her neck. The hair, which had not been cut for a long time, had grown a little longer again and was casually tied behind Liu Xia's head.
In order to facilitate fighting in the Colosseum, Liu Xia had already cut his originally long hair short with the melee weapons provided by the Colosseum because he found it troublesome.
Outside the shower room, He Tianlin, who had already finished showering, was happily humming a tuneless song. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood. It was unknown what song the song was adapted from, but the tune vaguely resembled a distorted version of Jiangnan, but not exactly the same.
I'm afraid that children like He Tianlin, who were born in a post-nuclear explosion world, will never have the chance to see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan.
Seeing Liu Xia coming out of the shower room, He Tianlin rushed over excitedly, his eyes shining and smiling, "Sister Xia, the guard just came once and said he would take us to area B7 to get the equipment in ten minutes."
After washing himself clean, He Tianlin looked handsome and had the air of an enthusiastic puppy. His hair, which was a little oily due to lack of water for washing, had now become fluffy and looked easy to rub. With his eyes full of joy, he didn't seem to worry at all about what he would encounter in the contaminated area tomorrow.
I don't know whether I should praise him for being fearless like a newborn calf, or for being unaware of the dangers of the contaminated area and acting so heartless.
Ding Ruotong was curled up on the sofa reading a book at this time. She looked glowing white under the light. Compared with the unhealthy white skin of Liu Xia and He Tianlin, her skin color was relatively healthy.
Because Liu Xia was the last one to go in for a shower, the three of them were already tidy and waiting for the guards to take them to area B7.
"Here I come."
Before the guard reached the door, Liu Xia could already hear the sound of the rubber floor rubbing against the concrete floor.
The door of the room opened with a "beep" sound, and the guard in lead-gray work clothes stood outside the door with his back straight, a pistol with a shining black gold color hanging on his waist.
The guards' uniforms were different from the clothes given to Liu Xia and the other two. Although they were the same color, they looked more suitable for combat.
"Please follow me, all three of you."
He Tianlin's brisk voice immediately picked up the guard's words, and he leaned in front of the guard and said, "What's your name, guard brother? Is Area B7 far from us? Can we just pick up the equipment later? Do you know what time we leave tomorrow?"
"Not far, no, it's 7 o'clock tomorrow morning." The guard's voice was emotionless, and he answered He Tianlin's series of questions with just six simple words.
Later, He Tianlin was not discouraged by the guard's indifference. He still enthusiastically asked some questions that were not related to the mission but to the hive. The guard still did not say a word of unnecessary nonsense and simply did not answer some questions.
He Tianlin felt bored and stopped asking questions. It was obvious that the guard would not continue to answer.
As soon as the three people filed out, the guard turned around and walked in front to lead the way.
The people in this hive seem to have a style similar to Shen Wanren. They don't talk too much nonsense and just work hard, as cold as a machine.
After circling around for ten minutes, the guard stopped in front of an alloy door that was obviously heavily guarded. The word B7 was painted in blue spray paint on the black gold door, and four guards were standing in front of the door to guard it.
Obviously this is the B7 equipment depot.
The gatekeeper shouted coldly, calling everyone to a halt: "Stop, command."
"49! The city lord asked me to take them to familiarize themselves with the equipment."
Then the guard leading the way took a few steps forward and handed a black metal plate to the guard at the gate.
The guard at the gate took the metal plate and scanned it before nodding and making way.
The guard then said to the three of them, "You have an hour to familiarize yourself with the equipment, and then I'll take you back."
It seems that there is a clear division between the guards leading the way and the guards guarding the equipment depot. The hive is more class-divided than Liu Xia imagined, and the guards are extremely strict. They are not on the same level as the guards of the Colosseum.
Liu Xia watched all this silently, and exchanged a knowing look with He Tianlin. He had originally wanted to try to snatch the weapons and run away, but he had to suppress the idea temporarily.
The equipment warehouse is very large and is divided into five areas, each blocked by a huge alloy door.
Each alloy door has a one-meter-long welded window with iron bars of varying thicknesses and two iron partitions inside. There is a large table in front of each window, and it looks like the protection is very tight.
The guard at the gate led Liu Xia and the others to the area on the far left and said to the iron window, "The guard at Area B5 brought them here."
The upper partition inside the iron window opened with a "click", and a pair of vigilant eyes looked through the bars.
"brand."
The guard then handed the metal plate that the guard who led the way had just given him to check through the iron window. The person inside the iron partition took the metal plate and closed the iron plate again with a "click".
After a while, the iron plate inside the iron window opened again. This time, the iron plate with a wider gap in the fence below was opened, and several weapons were handed out from inside and placed on the table in front.
There were three sets of protective suits with alloy armor, three sets of highly compressed oxygen tanks and communication equipment, two assault rifles that shone with a metallic luster and looked well-maintained, a sniper rifle that looked extremely powerful, a small drone and a palm-sized microcomputer. They all looked like military-grade equipment.
The equipment guard's businesslike voice rang out from the window, cold and almost inhumane: "You'll take the protective suits and oxygen tanks with you shortly. You'll have an hour to familiarize yourself with the weapons, then hand them back in. You'll pick them up again tomorrow when we depart. The instructions are all on the microcomputer."
Not only did He Tianlin's eyes light up when he saw these equipments, but even Liu Xia's eyes could hardly contain his eagerness to try them out.
Even in the real world, weapons that you have only touched a few times at a shooting range are now displayed right in front of you. Who can resist being excited?
"No wonder Shen Wanren has so many good things and has never been captured. It turns out that he has so many sophisticated weapons. This is just the tip of the iceberg they have seen. Who knows what powerful things are stored in the other four equipment depots."
Liu Xia secretly rejoiced. It seemed that her decision to cooperate with Shen Wanren was completely correct. Otherwise, even if she had the ability to escape at that time, it would obviously be a wrong choice to become an enemy of such a dangerous force.
