Space-time Traveler Chapter 12: Wasteland 2
Pasha is a very capable woman.
She is about 1.72 meters tall and weighs about 60 kilograms. She is well-proportioned but has strong muscles. She should also exercise a lot. This means that she will not be a burden for the sesame fish, but it also means that the two people's demand for food will increase substantially.
They quickly found a source of water that looked quite clean, but when Pasha put a pointer of a mechanical watch into the water source, it showed "lightly polluted water".
"There should be no cleaner water nearby." Pasha licked her dry lips.
A person needs at least 1,500 milliliters of water a day. A person can not eat for several days, but he will die if he does not drink water for three days.
Su Ziyu glanced at her and nodded slowly, and the two leaned down at the same time to replenish the lack of water in their bodies.
Strong exercise will increase the body’s perspiration, and there may be nothing in a short time, but as long as the symptoms of dehydration appear, the state of the whole person will drop rapidly. The water here is very clear, and there is no peculiar smell when drinking it, but after the two people drank it, the radiation pollution index on their bodies increased by about 1%. The mechanical watch on Pasha is very interesting. It looks like a high-tech personal terminal. Not only can it detect its own state, but it also stores some data and has certain analytical capabilities. If you add some skills, what? Looks like a physical version of some system.
Before dark, they finally found a prey.
The prey looked a little frightening. It looked like a deer, but it had two faces, as if the heads of two deer were squeezed together and then a part of it was cut and stitched. But fortunately, its body is still normal, but there are some mottled patterns on its body, otherwise the Suzi fish really doesn't know if it dares to eat it.
"Radiation distortion." Pasha used a tactical dagger to deal with the prey in front of him, while explaining to the scorpionfish: "Eating it may cause the radiation pollution index to rise, but we can't find better food. Up."
"Right?"
Su Ziyu felt that she seemed to be aware of something, because he was indeed incompatible with this era and everything here.
The meat is very fragrant.
The taste is not bad, that is, the radiation pollution index has risen again after eating, and the radiation pollution index of mullet is close to 2%.
The two chose a relatively safe leeward vent for the night. After the bonfire was lit, Pasha kept looking at him up and down, and Su Ziyu had the energy to observe the woman in front of him carefully at this time. She looks pretty. The appearance of Westerners looks the same to him, but she can still tell if she looks good or not. Her skin is a bit darker, wheatish, not white with sesame fish, and there is a small scar on the corner of her eyes, but It doesn't affect the overall appearance. It looks a bit fierce. There are calluses on his hands, the abdominal muscles are more obvious than him, the arms and legs are very strong, and the whole person looks a little cold and murderous.
"I'm waiting for you to ask me the time." Pasha stared at Su Ziyu for a while, and suddenly said.
Su Ziyu's expression was stunned, but she didn't speak.
He spoke very little along the way.
Because the more you talk, the easier it is to expose yourself.
"It is 20:45 on January 25, 2169. It has been more than a hundred years since the day of the catastrophe." Pasha stared closely at Su Ziyu's eyes, seeming to observe his expression Change, condensedly said: "You are not a wilderness hunter, are you?"
"You just came out of the shelter."
Su Ziyu was startled when he heard the words, but slowly asked: "How did you know?"
"I have seen people coming out of the refuge. You have a breath of incompatibility with this era." A smile appeared on the corner of Pasha's mouth, and she gradually became confident and said slowly: "It looks like you are a People came out, and they just fell into the wilderness not long ago? Otherwise, you would never enter the Southern Cross! The scavengers nearby know that there is a place of death!"
"Although you can conceal it well, you can't hide it from an experienced hunter."
The corners of Pasha's mouth rose slightly, seeming to be happy to see Suziyu's identity. She continued: "Your shelter is malfunctioning? Are you alone alive?"
People who come out of the refuge are generally well equipped. Su Ziyu looks like a savage. It is very likely that he escaped from the refuge, and there is no time to get the equipment inside.
Su Ziyu didn't speak because he didn't know how to answer.
But Pasha seemed to think he was reluctant to say more, hesitated and said: "I am a member of [Freedom]. This time I entered the Southern Cross to complete a very important mission. Don't worry. We No interest in the wealth in the shelter. If possible, I would really like to invite you to join our organization."
"Free ones? Join you?" Su Ziyu frowned slightly.
"Yes." Pasha's expression gradually became serious: "You have been asleep in the refuge for too long. I don't know how earth-shaking changes have taken place outside!"
"Civilization has gone away from us."
"This is a barbaric era."
"For more than a hundred years after the catastrophe, those chaebols gradually controlled our world. They enslaved others to work for them, and at the same time controlled the most important resource medicine in the world today!"
Pasha's tone gradually became a little excited, she gritted her teeth and said: "This is an injection to eliminate radiation, and this is a pill to reduce radiation."
"These things are firmly in the hands of those chaebols!"
"After the catastrophe broke out, the entire world was completely changed under huge radiation. Now everything around us is contaminated with radiation, even if we eat clean food and drink purified water, our bodies There will also be accumulation of radiation pollution bit by bit, and only these medicines can eliminate it."
"My parents died because they didn't have money to buy medicine. They left the last shot of medicine to me."
"We are freers and rebels!"
Su Ziyu couldn't help but fell silent. He seemed to be digesting the information, and then raised his head after a while and said: "What are you going to do in that city?"
"Looking for a medicine formula that eliminates radiation." Pasha's voice gradually fell a little lower: "If you want to return the world to civilization, you must first break the monopoly of the plutocrats on medicines. It is said that there is a laboratory in the Southern Cross. There is a formula for eliminating radiation."
"But we failed. There are too many ghouls there!"
"Ghoul?" Su Ziyu asked suspiciously.
"A kind of monster that appears after the catastrophe. It is difficult to deal with. Getting close to them will cause serious radiation pollution." Pasha smiled and said: "Yes. Your skills are very good. Those ghouls are very powerful. They are big and fast. I rarely see anyone kill them with cold weapons."
Su Ziyu asked: "Can't you research the formula of the medicine yourself? Why do you look for it in such a dangerous place?"
"Can't do it." Pasha shook her head and smiled bitterly: "There is an ingredient in these medicines that involves genetic programming. It is the top technology of the old age. We can't decipher and synthesize this substance at all."
"Their core technologies are firmly controlled by the chaebols."
"All medicines circulating on the market are controlled by those chaebols. They are expensive and limited in quantity. Many people die because they cannot buy medicines. Ordinary people work hard even in the factories of those chaebols. Throughout the year, apart from the most basic survival needs, the remaining money is only enough to buy a small amount of these medicines. Once accidentally infected with a radiation source, you may have to wait for death."
"Those chaebols simply use us as slaves to squeeze us!"
A dark wasteland era.
Su Ziyu thought for a while, then raised her head and asked: "What are your plans next?"
"Back to the camp." Pasha whispered: "Are you going with me?"
"Okay!" Su Ziyu nodded.
The woman on the other side couldn't help but raised her head, her expression seemed to be a little surprised.
