Chapter 12 Wasteland Era 2



Pasha is a very capable woman.

She is about 1.72 meters tall and weighs about 60 kilograms. She has a well-proportioned body but strong muscles. She should exercise a lot on a daily basis. This means that she will not be a burden to Su Ziyu, but it also means that the demand for food for two people will increase significantly.

They soon found a water source that looked clean, but when Pasha put a pointer of her mechanical watch into the water source, it showed "mildly polluted water".

"There's probably no cleaner water around here." Pasha licked her dry lips and said.

A person needs at least 1,500 milliliters of water a day. A person can go without food for several days, but will die if he does not drink water for three days.

Su Ziyu glanced at her and nodded slowly, and the two of them leaned over at the same time to replenish the lost water in their bodies.

Vigorous exercise will increase the amount of sweat the body produces. Maybe nothing will happen in the short term, but as long as the symptoms of dehydration appear, the whole person's condition will quickly decline. The water here is very clear and has no odor, but after the two people drank it, the radiation pollution index on their bodies increased by about 1%. Pasha's mechanical watch is very interesting. It looks like a high-tech personal terminal. It can not only detect its own status, but also store some data and has certain analytical capabilities. If you add some skills, it looks like a physical version of some system.

Before dark, they finally found a prey.

The prey looked a little scary, it looked like a deer, but it had two faces, as if two deer heads were squeezed together and a part of them were cut off and stitched together. But fortunately, its body was still normal, just with some mottled patterns on it, otherwise Su Ziyu really didn't know if he would dare to eat it.

"Radiation distortion." Pasha used a tactical dagger to deal with the prey in front of her, and explained to Suziyu: "Eating it may cause the radiation pollution index to rise, but we can't find any better food."

"Is it right?"

Su Ziyu felt that she seemed to have noticed something, because he was indeed a little out of tune with this era and everything here.

The meat is very fragrant.

The taste was good, but the radiation pollution index rose again after eating it. The radiation pollution index of perilla fish was close to 2%.

The two chose a relatively safe place to spend the night in the leeward direction. After lighting the bonfire, Pasha kept looking him up and down, and Su Ziyu only had the energy to carefully observe the woman in front of him. She looked pretty. In his eyes, Westerners all looked the same, but he could still judge whether they were pretty or not. Her skin was a little dark, wheat-colored, not as fair as Su Ziyu's. There was a small scar at the corner of her eye, but it did not affect her overall beauty. She looked a little fierce, with calluses on her hands, and her abdominal muscles were more obvious than his. Her arms and thighs were very strong, and she looked 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 he didn't say anything.

He spoke very little throughout the journey.

Because the more you talk, the easier it is to expose yourself.

"It is now 20:45 on January 25, 2169. It has been more than a hundred years since the Great Disaster." Pasha stared into Su Ziyu's eyes, as if observing his expression, and asked in a serious tone, "You are not a wilderness hunter, right?"

"You just came out of the shelter."

Su Ziyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he slowly asked, "How did you know?"

"I've seen people coming out of the shelter. You don't fit in with this era." Pasha smiled and said confidently, "You seem to have come out alone, and you've just been stranded in the wilderness. Otherwise, you wouldn't have entered the Southern Cross! All the scavengers nearby know that it's a deadly place!"

"Although you concealed it very well, you can't hide it from a seasoned hunter."

Pasha's lips curled up slightly, as if she was happy to see through Su Ziyu's identity. She continued, "Did your shelter break down? Are you the only one still alive?"

People coming out of the shelter are generally well-equipped. Su Ziyu looks like a savage. It is very likely that he escaped from the shelter and had no time to pick up the equipment inside.

Su Ziyu didn't say anything because he didn't know how to answer.

But Pasha seemed to think that he didn't want to say more, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "I am a member of the Freedom. This time I entered the Southern Cross to complete a very important mission. Don't worry. We are not interested in the wealth in the shelter. If possible, I would like to invite you to join our organization." "Freedom? Join you?" Su Ziyu frowned slightly.

"Yes." Pasha's expression gradually became serious. "You have been sleeping in the shelter for too long. You have no idea what earth-shaking changes have taken place outside!"

“Civilization has left us.”

“It was a barbaric time.”

"More than a hundred years after the catastrophe, those tycoons gradually took control of our world. They enslaved others to work for them, and at the same time controlled the most important resource in the world today - medicine!"

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, the whole world was completely changed by the huge radiation. Now everything around us is contaminated with radiation. Even if we eat clean food and drink purified water, our bodies will accumulate radiation pollution little by little. Only these medicines can eliminate it."

"My parents died because they had no money to buy medicine. They left their last injection of medicine to me."

"We are free men and we are also rebels!"

Su Ziyu fell silent upon hearing this. He seemed to be digesting this information. After a moment, he raised his head and asked, "What are you doing in that city?"

"Looking for a drug formula that eliminates radiation." Pasha's voice gradually became lower and lower. "If we want to restore civilization to this world, we must first break the monopoly of the chaebols on medicine. It is said that there is a drug formula that eliminates radiation in a laboratory in the Southern Cross."

"But we failed. There were too many ghouls out there!"

"Corpse ghost?" Su Ziyu asked puzzledly.

"A kind of monster that appeared after the catastrophe. It's very difficult to deal with. If you get close to them, you will be seriously contaminated by radiation." Pasha smiled and said, "By the way, you are very skilled. Those zombies are very strong and move very quickly. I rarely see anyone kill them with cold weapons."

Su Ziyu asked: "Can't you research the formula of the potion yourself? Why do you have to go to such a dangerous place to look for it?"

"I can't do that." Pasha shook her head and smiled bitterly. "One of the ingredients in these medicines involves genetic programming. That was the most advanced technology in the old days. We simply can't decipher and synthesize this substance."

"Their core technologies are firmly controlled by the chaebols."

"All drugs on the market are controlled by the chaebols. They are expensive and limited in quantity. Many people have died because they cannot buy drugs. Even if ordinary people work hard in the factories of those chaebols for a whole year, the wages they receive are only enough to buy a small amount of these drugs after paying for the most basic needs of survival. If they are accidentally infected with radiation sources, they may just wait to die."

"Those tycoons are simply exploiting us as slaves!"

A dark wasteland era.

Su Ziyu pondered for a long time before looking up and asking, "What are your plans next?"

"Let's go back to the camp." Pasha whispered, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay!" Su Ziyu nodded.

The woman opposite couldn't help but look up when she heard that, her expression seemed a little surprised.
