Chapter 20 Preparations
In the afternoon, he put the focus of his work on the basement, which is the "base" for his future exploration and advancement, which must be paid attention to, and the layout preference was arranged according to his uncle before, and now it is handed over to He, of course it has to be arranged according to his preferences.

The first is to throw away the many frozen meats stored in the freezer. The shelf life of those cans at room temperature is four years, and they are still in the freezer. The shelf life should reach ten years, but Chi Heng is not interested in eating canned food that has been stored for more than ten years. , and discard them all.

He's going to repurchase cans and store a lot of food, and he'll feel safe filling up his fridge and freezer.

"By the way, I need two pairs of rotating hiking shoes, a set of trekking poles, a soft mat, a portable gas stove, a tent..."

Chi Heng recorded all his requests in a notebook so that he could go to the supermarket to buy them.

Although it is impossible to spend the night in the "absolute boundary", it seems that the tent is not very useful, but if it rains before, the use of the tent can allow him to temporarily rest and shelter from the rain, so it is still very necessary.

"The other thing is the car..."

The computer in the basement is not connected to the Internet, and it is impossible to connect to the Internet. There is not even a mobile phone signal around here. Chi Heng drove to the town the next day and used a PDA to search the Internet. He thought of a way to buy an all-terrain vehicle for " "Extreme" exploration vehicle?
He frowned at this inquiry.

In the US market, all-terrain ATVs have been popular in the United States since the 80s. Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki all have many ATV models on sale, ranging from cheap to expensive.

The point is that the size of the ATVs sold on the website cannot pass through the "Moros Gate", and must be completely disassembled and then sent to the opposite side for assembly.

This process can be described as quite troublesome, and he has no relevant knowledge and technology.

On the contrary, the price is seven or eight thousand dollars, which is nothing.

Of course, money can make things go wrong. As long as he gives the money, the manufacturer can definitely meet any requirements, including the needs of disassembly and reassembly, but the "Moros Gate" is a secret that must not be revealed, and this idea can be directly passed. .

"But the structure of the ATV is not particularly complicated, it should be feasible..."

Chi Heng frowned again: "But the door-to-door delivery will probably attract the attention of the townspeople. Once the ATV is found, I can't explain it."

This place is not a beach, or there is no place for outdoor recreation. Buying an ATV that rich people like to play, people here must not understand it, and Chi Heng would not understand it either.

He didn't want to attract the attention and curiosity of the locals, and he didn't want to be labeled as a weirdo like the old uncle.

"Headache."

It seems that remote areas also have disadvantages.

Even if Chi Heng contacts the manufacturer to place an order at this moment, there is no one or two weeks before this ATV will be delivered to the door.

But this matter had to be resolved. Chi Heng didn't know how far away the research base on the map was. He always explored on foot. Not to mention the low efficiency, there was also the danger of not being able to get back in time.

"Door-to-door delivery can be arranged in another place, such as delivery in the capital, and you can add money to shorten the delivery time."

Chi Heng's eyes lit up, and he thought of a solution. In addition to this, he can also ask the manufacturer not to assemble the ATV, but to take the time to learn how to assemble it.

In fact, motorcycles can pass through the "Moros Gate" very conveniently, but it is not very convenient to put the "Moros Gate" on the motorcycle. It is much more convenient to put a four-wheeled ATV on a door.

Of course, if it is really too difficult to assemble, then he has to give up, and it is not impossible to buy a motorcycle.

While he was contemplating, the car window was knocked suddenly.

Chi Heng was startled, and almost threw out the PDA in his hand. He turned his head and found that it was the black police chief Badman.

"Sheriff."

Chi Heng quickly rolled down the car window, "Can't you park here?"

"No, there are no big city parking rules here, as long as you don't park in the middle of the road."

Badman shrugged: "I just passed by and saw you parked on the side of the road and wanted to ask you, how are you doing these days?"

It has been six days since I arrived in Dok Town on May 5th, and today, May 15th. The time has indeed passed quickly, and almost a week has passed in a blink of an eye.

Chi Heng smiled: "Thank you for your concern, I think this place is very good."

"Is there any problem with the old house?"

When saying this, although the black sheriff seemed to be speaking casually and casually, Chi Heng unexpectedly noticed that the palm of the black sheriff's hand on the edge of the car window was slightly tightened.

"no problem."

Chi Heng's heart moved slightly, with a look of inexplicable confusion on his face, "What are you talking about being haunted, but I was fine there, and I didn't encounter anything, and I was waiting for the ghost to come to the door in the middle of the night, but unfortunately, the gate of hell has not opened. Not a single ghost was seen."

"Haha," the black sheriff smiled, "You're right. This kind of thing is just a legend. Your uncle has lived there for ten years without any problems. It tells the truth, but People like to believe what they want to believe."

"Dock Town is a very good place, and the townspeople here are also very friendly, just come to me if you need anything," said the black sheriff, "And you came just in time, at the end of this month, May 5st In the evening, it is a special traditional festival in Dock Town, on this day we will gather in the open-air square for a bonfire party, and then you come early, and I will introduce you to everyone."

The black sheriff finished speaking in an undeniable tone, and without waiting for Chi Heng to answer whether he agreed or not, he turned and left.

This is also normal. When you go to a small place, you don’t want to integrate into the local area to avoid being excluded. Do you still want to be excluded on purpose?

Therefore, if Chi Heng doesn't want to act alone and attract the attention of every townsman, he has no right to refuse.

With a sigh, Chi Heng went to the supermarket to buy the items he needed first. When he checked out, the cashier of the fat aunt had already recognized Chi Heng, the "bold" shopping customer. While checking out, he looked at the tent in surprise, "Are you camping alone?"

"I've loved camping since I was a kid, it's best alone and undisturbed."

Chi Heng explained.

Mom didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, when he was pushing the shopping cart and turned around to leave, he almost bumped into a little boy who was looking at him. The little boy was about eleven or twelve years old. When he saw Chi Heng looking at him, he immediately shrank his neck and ran away up.

Chi Heng didn't pay much attention to this trivial matter. He pushed the shopping cart to the outside of the supermarket, delivered the purchased goods to the pickup truck, and then pushed the shopping cart back to the supermarket.

"Look, it's that person!"

The little boy that Chi Heng almost bumped into just now, and the other two companions, huddled in the corner and stared at Chi Heng who was walking towards the pickup.
