Special Pollution Cleanup Department's preparation work has always been done quickly and well.

After Lu Xin and Gecko's "business trip" applications were approved, a tall modified vehicle was quickly driven downstairs to the Guard Department. At the same time, a staff member of the support team went upstairs and handed a list to Lu Xin and Gecko.

"Everything should be almost ready..."

Gecko weakly opened the list and calculated it bit by bit.

After taking a look at the long list, Lu Xin looked a little surprised. "Have you prepared so many things?"

"It's all necessary..."

Gecko glanced at Lu Xin and explained helplessly, "Fifty boxes of military cans, one hundred sets of compressed biscuits; thirty kilograms of purified water, one set of water filtering device, two replacement filter elements; two emergency medicine boxes, one set of surgical equipment; two simple tents, two sets of sleeping bags; two powerful flashlights, four batteries, one simple solar charger; one latest military map, two compasses;"

"Alliance currency, which can be circulated throughout the northern region, is ten thousand; two pieces of gold bars; four sets of special ability user clamps, three sets are prepared for those with abilities, and one set is a spare. In addition, there are also my weapons and equipment, a standard pistol, four magazines of bullets, a special 14.9 mm super long-range sniper rifle, fifty rounds of ordinary bullets, twenty rounds of special bullets. In addition, there are three daggers for use."

"Two flare guns and six flares."

"Two specially-made wilderness satellite phones and a simple signal receiver."

"One set of radio equipment and two walkie-talkies..."

"In addition, there are a set of replacement clothes, two sets of simple tableware, and three serious magazines to relieve boredom."

"..."

Lu Xin listened on the side, somewhat dumbfounded. "Why are you preparing so much? We are only going out for ten days..."

"Well, I'm worried that these things are not enough. Who knows what we will encounter in the wilderness?"

Gecko sighed impatiently and said, "Just like this water filtering device, food and water sources are very important in the wilderness. Those who are used to living in the wilderness can drink clean water when they find it. At most, they can only boil it and drink it. But those of us who go out in High Wall City may get diarrhea after drinking it. In the wilderness, diarrhea may also cause serious problems."

"Like these cans, money, gold..."

He spoke slowly, his voice full of helplessness. "As long as High Wall City comes out, you will inevitably have to deal with people in the wilderness, and when dealing with people in the wilderness, the most indispensable thing is two things, one is weapons, and the other is currency."

"The key point is currency."

"Although Alliance currency has been used in all major High Wall Citys, there are still people in the wilderness who don't recognize them, so we have to bring a certain amount of gold as a backup. When we meet some special people, gold may not be easy to use, so we have to exchange it with food."

"..."

At first, Lu Xin just heard Gecko say that he had the experience of surviving outside the wilderness, but he didn't think too much about it. The main reason why he took him with him was because he needed someone to help him drive. But now, after hearing what he said so clearly, I started to take it seriously. It seems that I made the right decision to let Gecko set off with me...

"However, it can be seen that Old Chen really spent a lot of money on you..."

After going downstairs, Gecko saw the wilderness vehicle prepared for them, and became a little excited.

He walked around the car, touching it here and patting it there, looking a little excited.

"Why do you say that?"

Lu Xin was a little confused and thought, isn't it just a car?

"Hehe..."

Gecko opened the front cover of the car and looked at it for a while. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He snapped it on and said with a smile, "This is the military-grade off-road Humvee specially modified by the research team. It has a high chassis and a big butt. V10 naturally aspirated engine. The 6.8L displacement is modified with intake and exhaust, a supercharger kit is used as the heart, the fuel injector is enlarged, and it is matched with ECU engine control unit program, which is comparable to the 1099 horsepower of a thirty-year-old virgin, plus bulletproof glass, a heavy-duty six-barreled rotary machine gun, this damn..."

His eyes shone slightly. "It's simply a giant steel beast!"

Lu Xin Listening, he was a little confused. "Isn't it just a car?"

In order to show his concern, he still asked, "Are you sure you can run outside the city?"

Gecko turned his head and looked at him with contempt.

Lu Xin couldn't help but feel guilty, and argued. "I mean, you can run very fast outside the city, right?"

"Don't worry!"

Gecko directly opened the door and climbed into the cab, patted the steering wheel and said, "I even think it can fly!"

Lu Xin looked at the staff and loaded the supplies prepared for them into the car bit by bit, even letting him see them clearly so that they could be used at any time. Finally, as the team leader of Special Action Team, he signed and took his own ID, then he opened the passenger door, sat up, and asked, "Do you still need to go home and tell your family?"

"No need!"

Gecko smiled and said, "I am alone. No one cares about me except Linda. Let's just leave the city."

"Oh!"

Lu Xin nodded and said, "Before leaving the city, go to Moon Platform first. You know my home address."

"Why?"

Gecko glanced at Lu Xin in surprise. "Don't you know that time is precious now?"

"Go pick up my family..."

Lu Xin glanced at Gecko in surprise, thinking, you don't have family, but I do...

Gecko turned his head and looked at Lu Xin with a "swish" sound.

Seeing that Lu Xin looked very serious, his expression gradually became weird.

His face became a little pale again.

"Start..."

Gecko didn't say anything more, but turned around and tried the voice start system, started the car, and then silently drove Lu Xin, driving according to the rules and regulations, and came to the downstairs of the old apartment where Lu Xin lived, and stopped.

"This..."

He didn't dare to turn his head, just stared at the steering wheel, and his voice was a little difficult. "Do you need to... go upstairs and pick me up?"

"No need!"

Lu Xin sat quietly in the passenger seat.

"You want it..."

Gecko's voice was slightly weak. "Help me get some luggage or something..."

"They're already in the car."

Lu Xin turned around, looked at Gecko, smiled, and said, "You can go..."

Gecko glanced at the empty back seat in the rearview mirror, swallowed, and silently started the car.

After the car drove slowly onto the highway, he couldn't help but glance in the rear mirror, but finally couldn't help it anymore.

After struggling for a long time, he suddenly tried his best to put on a smile and did something that Lu Xin never thought of...

"Hello, uncle, aunt, and sister. My name is Gecko. I am a good colleague and good friend of the individual soldiers..."

He actually started chatting. "Nice to meet you..."

"... I guess you should be happy to meet me, right?"

"Hahaha, you're welcome..."

"..."

"Huh?"

Lu Xin, who was flipping through documents in the passenger seat, turned around and glanced at Gecko.

His face looked a little strange.

There was more than one person who was frightened by his family, but he still tried to chat with his family members even though they couldn't see him. This was really the first time.

He sighed helplessly, looked up, and saw the steel suspension bridge in front of the road being slowly lowered.

The wind outside the city slowly blew in, and it seemed a little different from what was inside the city.

There is still about a hundred tickets left before the monthly ticket is 5,000. I won't say anything else. You know...
