Not sure if it was an illusion, Su Han listened to the system explain the rules of the game, then lowered his head to think for a moment. In just five minutes, his skin began to feel burning.
She glanced around and found that the sunlight was not scorching.
"Have you been attacked by radiation?" Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, Su Han was keenly aware that he was in danger. The most obvious sign was that his physical strength was slowly decreasing.
She didn't dare to stop, took out her backpack, put bread and milk in it, and walked quickly, knocking on the doors of the houses along the street one by one. Unfortunately, no one answered the door.
Su Han was not reluctant to leave. If one place didn't work out, he would switch to another.
Ten minutes later, with his stamina reduced by 10, someone finally opened the door.
The person who came was an old lady, but she just opened the door a crack, covered her mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'd like to borrow a bedroom to live in. The price is negotiable." Su Han quickly stated his purpose, fearing that if he beat around the bush the other party would go straight back to the house.
The old lady replied sternly, "I'm not short of money." Then she wanted to close the door.
Su Han quickly added loudly, "I can pay the rent with food and daily necessities!"
There were no shops open along the street, which was enough to show that the situation in the dungeon was not very good. Even though the person in front of her had a bad temper, she chose to open the door when no one was willing to open the door, which was considered kindness in difficult situations. Therefore, Su Han did not want to miss the opportunity.
The other party paused before saying, "Is there any clean drinking water?"
Su Han immediately took off his backpack, took out the milk and handed it over.
It is sealed. The old lady moved her throat slightly and said in an unquestionable tone, "Two bottles of milk a day as rent. If you can't pay, leave immediately."
"No problem." Su Han agreed readily.
The old lady then opened the door and let the person in.
As soon as Su Han entered the room, the old lady closed the door without any hesitation.
Su Han wanted to find out what was going on, but the old lady pointed to the guest bedroom and said in a gruff voice, "You live here and don't come out unless necessary." Then she ignored the new tenant.
Su Han, "..."
As long as you are happy.
She walked into the guest bedroom and closed the door, only then did she have time to take a closer look at her surroundings.
The guest bedroom is quite large, about 15 square meters. The windows are sealed with black tape, so the light is a bit dim. However, it feels much better. The most intuitive manifestation is that the physical strength value changes from minus 1 every minute to minus 1 every ten minutes.
Su Han calculated quickly. Ten minutes minus 1, one hour minus 6, twenty-four hours a day, a total of 144 physical strength points would be reduced.
When the calculation results came out, she couldn't help but twitch her eyelids. Not to mention making it to 20 days to pass the level, even making it to the 10th day to pass the level was very difficult!
You know, she won it by clearing all the levels. Even with the many extra rewards, she only had 860 stamina points, which was just enough to last for 6 days.
Besides, she was hiding in the house at the moment. If she stood on the street, her physical strength would drop faster...
Su Han immediately realized that the time to fight for his family's fortune had finally arrived.
At 9 a.m., the system's mechanical voice sounded on time, "Game Day 1."
As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of brown bread, a bottle of milk and two bars of handmade soap appeared in front of her.
Su Han took the backpack and wanted to put the new supplies into it. But when she glanced at it inadvertently, she was stunned.
Slightly contaminated black bread: After consumption, satiety level increases by +15. It contains radioactive substances and consumption may be harmful to human health.
Su Han threw the newly acquired supplies into her portable warehouse and thought hard. She was very sure that before this, the black bread was absolutely normal and did not have the prefix of "slightly contaminated".
That is, the contamination occurred after she entered the game.
But why? She took out her backpack, stuffed the bread and milk in it, and never took it out again. How did it get contaminated?
Moreover, when I checked the state of the bottled milk, it was clearly the same as before.
Huh? Wait…
Su Han suddenly realized that the black bread was packed in a transparent plastic bag, not a vacuum bag, but the milk was completely sealed. Thinking back to when she was standing on the street and felt uncomfortable, and the landlady covered her mouth and nose when talking, and the guest bedroom windows were sealed, she finally knew what was wrong - there was radioactive material in the air!
In other words, even if you just stand and breathe, the human body will automatically inhale radioactive substances into the body.
"This is a big trouble." Su Han muttered to himself.
The contaminated bread could no longer be eaten, so Su Han simply kept it in his backpack to pretend that it was gone. Fortunately, he only put three pieces of bread in the bag at first, so the loss was not too great.
For three consecutive days, Su Han stayed in the guest bedroom obediently and did not go anywhere.
The landlady finally felt that the new tenant had some merits. At least when paying the rent, he was not dragging his feet or bargaining at all, and he was very efficient, which made her very happy.
Su Han also discovered that the landlord's wife was in a good mood every day when she collected the rent, and was always very easy to talk to. So she asked around and took the opportunity to find out a lot of useful information.
"There are two types of radiation: internal and external. External radiation refers to the effect of ionizing radiation on the human body from a radiation source outside the human body. Internal radiation refers to the effect of radioactive elements entering the human body and directly affecting the inside."
"There are only a few main protection methods. Avoid breathing in contaminated air, avoid eating contaminated food, avoid direct contact with contaminated objects, avoid wound contamination, and if conditions permit, you can also put up shielding to reduce the external radiation dose. If conditions permit, you can also get a protective suit to wear."
"Completely get rid of radioactive substances? How is that possible? There are radioactive elements in the air and drinking water. They are everywhere and can penetrate any hole. As far as I know, some people are short of food and water and have no choice but to start eating slightly contaminated food."
Su Han was not very clear about the principles of nuclear radiation, but she knew in her heart that she didn't need to understand the reasons at the moment, she just needed to try to remember the conclusions and know how to deal with it.
However, after summarizing all the information she had obtained, she vaguely realized that radiation was impossible to completely avoid. All players could do was to reduce the intake of radioactive substances as much as possible during the game. If they could not reduce it, they could only rely on their inventory to support themselves...
On the fourth day of the game, Su Han paid the rent and specifically mentioned, "I don't have much stuff on me. I will leave here tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
In fact, the supplies in the portable warehouse were very full, with no signs of running out. Moreover, there was income every day, and there was still some left after eating and drinking. She said this deliberately just because she wanted to move to a different place to live.
After all, in the eyes of the landlord, she carried a backpack and never went out, so she would just live off her savings. It would look strange if she could never finish her food and drink.
When the landlord heard that the tenant was going to leave, she was silent for a moment. After a long while, she slowly said, "You look unfamiliar to me. Why did you come to town?"
Su Han was about to answer that he was traveling on a budget, but the words couldn't come out of his mouth - who would be so desperate as to go to a nuclear radiation town for sightseeing?
So after thinking about it, she changed her excuse, "I came here to seek refuge with my relatives, but I couldn't find anyone."
No wonder. The landlady thought to herself, many people died in the town after the nuclear leak. After calming down, she said, "Take a rest first and go out with me at noon."
Su Han was quite puzzled, but he responded obediently, "Okay."
The few days of getting along were quite pleasant, and she didn't mind accompanying the landlady for a walk, perhaps there would be some unexpected gains. Moreover, the many grenades in her portable warehouse gave her great courage.
I am confident and therefore fearless!
At noon, Su Han deliberately ate lunch early and then started taking drugs.
Four days into the game, her stamina successfully dropped below 400. Normally, it was fine for her to stay at home, but now that she was about to go out, she had to restore her stamina.
After taking the medicine, his physical strength was increased to 654 in one breath. The status showed that the physical strength was 76%. Su Han finally stopped with satisfaction.
Just then the landlady reminded, "Get ready to go."
Su Han took his backpack and left the room.
She originally thought that the two of them needed to go out, and even prepared masks to reduce inhalation. Unexpectedly, the landlady took her to the master bedroom and opened the floor.
The next second, a dark staircase appeared in front of the two, and it was bottomless.
Su Han, "..."
What is going on here?
"Follow me." The landlady picked up the flashlight and took the lead.
Su Han hurried to catch up.
The staircase was very long, with many branches and turns. It took her five minutes to finally touch the ground.
Su Han looked around and found that this was an underground square. Many shops were open for business, and it was very lively.
The landlady warned sternly, "Let's go shopping separately and meet here in two hours. If you don't see me when the time comes, I will wait for five more minutes at most. I won't wait after that."
"Got it." Su Han agreed readily, but she was thinking in her heart that since entering the underground, the rate at which her physical strength decreased had obviously slowed down, so she had to find a way to stay here.
The landlady probably hoped that the tenant could exchange for suitable items in the underground square and continue to live in the guest bedroom, but Su Han was destined to disappoint her kindness.
"Remember, don't cause trouble. All the shops in the underground plaza are protected and have strong backers." Because she was worried, the landlady couldn't help but give a few more reminders.
"I understand." Su Han responded with a smile.
The two of them then separated and wandered around separately.
Although there were a lot of medicines in the portable warehouse, Su Han felt that the medicines were still not enough when he calculated that it would take 20 days to pass the customs.
She even considered a question: Is it really worth wasting a lot of medicine to clear the level? Or would it be better to leave the dungeon as soon as the 10th day arrived?
After thinking for a long time and still unable to come up with an answer, Su Han sighed dejectedly and decided to go shopping seriously.
At a quick glance, she saw a store selling the "Nuclear Radiation Protection Manual"! It was so urgently needed!
Su Han couldn't wait to enter the store, intending to cram for some tutoring.
But the shop owner said, "The booklet has 20 pages in total, and you can only read the first seven pages before paying. If you want to buy it, you need to pay 150g of uncontaminated food for one booklet. If it is slightly contaminated food, you need to pay 300g. Moderately and severely contaminated food will not be accepted."
Su Han flipped through the first seven pages of the booklet and found that the precautions written therein were similar to what the landlady had mentioned to her. So without hesitation, she threw over a piece of uncontaminated black bread to pay for the fee.
The shop owner took out the instrument and tested it carefully. After confirming that the black bread was indeed uncontaminated, he couldn't help but show joy on his face and said hurriedly, "Okay, take the booklet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to nibble on the bread.
Su Han was also very happy. Even though she was a survivalist, it was impossible for her to remember all the precautions for all disasters. Therefore, she felt sincerely fortunate to find an opportunity to make up for her knowledge in the dungeon.
She found a chair in the store and sat down, then began to read the manual carefully. Soon she found that the precautions recorded in it were more detailed than what the landlady had said.
"The main methods of protection against external radiation are: reducing the exposure time; staying away from the radiation source; using shielding materials for shielding."
"After a nuclear leak occurs, you can take iodine preparations to alleviate symptoms. (Note that taking too much is harmful to your health)"
"Try to avoid going out. If you have to go out, remember to cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel and try to avoid exposing your skin to air."
The author has something to say: Some disasters can only alleviate symptoms but cannot prevent them from coming and spreading, such as nuclear radiation.
