"Do you hide all this stuff in your pants?" said Stini, sniffing the plastic in her hand, and there was no smell.

Scarlet "・・・・・Actually, it's just a little magic~"

Stini's left eye reads 'Don't believe it', and her right eye says 'Who are you fooling?'

Tearing away from the topic, "What should we do now?" You don't have to worry about food and water, I'll be full. How are we going to get to the city? How long is it going to take? Is it dangerous on the road?"

Stini counted with her fingers and replied, "If we don't have to worry about food, we'll go all the way east now, and in less than a month at most, we'll be able to meet the city・・・・・・ and it will be much easier to get a car then."

"Speaking of cars・・・・・ did you walk in when you came in?"

"No, my car is in a quagmire, and it should be buried in the ground by now," Stini shrugged, "Hey, what's your woman's name?"

"She's my friend, her name is Fran" Scarlet said to Fran "Come, say hello"

"Hi~" Fran beckoned.

"Tell me about the current situation in the world," Scarlet sat down on the rock.

Stini got up, "Let's talk as we go, it's going to be dawn."

When exposed to sunlight, most mutant creatures go into hibernation, and the abundant ultraviolet rays in the sunlight make them miserable.

Scarlet watched a lizard with more than a dozen legs being exposed to the sun's rays, and then turned into a dry lizard・・・・・

The ultraviolet rays in the sun's rays are so strong that they hurt on the skin!

Stini had already put on a gray robe, and Scarlet had wrapped a roll of sheets around her.

Fran was already wearing a white coat, and as long as she wore a mask, a medical cap, and medical protective goggles, no skin on her body would be exposed to direct sunlight.

Regarding the situation in this world, Stini said very scatteredly, basically saying whatever she wanted, listening to some bits and pieces, and still barely had a simple understanding of the world.

An absurd time.

Humanity began to be hierarchical, ethnic, and geographically divided.

The system of the past society is collapsing, many professions are disappearing, many industries are disappearing, and many things are disappearing with them.

Mercenaries have become the most base-based class.

All you need is an electronic record board to become a mercenary.

Take on tasks, complete tasks, and get paid.

Simple, violent, realistic.

Humans are divided into three types - urbanite, homeless, and subhuman.

Needless to say, city dwellers live in the city, have a residence card, an ID card, and engage in a variety of jobs・・・・・・

Displaced people, on the other hand, are those who have lost their place of residence, have no identity card, no past records, and no one to prove themselves.

They have been traveling back and forth between cities, seeking their own abode.

Subhumans.

They are actually human beings, but their genetic structure is slightly off.

They usually live in villages in the wilderness, or in abandoned cities. lived a life without food and clothing.

Urban people do not exclude the homeless, but they reject the subhumans, because they are already physiologically different.

Humans have always been very xenophobic.

Subhumans were not allowed to enter the city at all, as most of them had diseases or deviant tissues on their bodies.

Because subhumans drink water containing a lot of radiation for a long time and eat food full of radiation, their bodies have undergone abnormal changes since birth.

If you see three hands, or seven or eight legs, or any abnormal body organs, then this guy must be subhuman.

Hierarchical differentiation.

Although there is no absolute standard for judging people's strength or weakness, according to the theory of a person called what skin and what borg, it can be roughly divided into five points.

The number of systems represents physical fitness, immunity, strength, self-healing ability, nerve reflex ・・・・・, etc.

Gene coefficient represents gene chain changes, due to local limb changes due to injection of genetic drugs or self-evolution, such as sharp teeth or claws, scaly arms, protruding elbows and bone blades・・・・・ etc.

The control coefficient is more complicated, from large airplanes and tanks to walking and running. It is mainly about body coordination and adaptability and sensitivity to utensils, mostly in the use of firearms, cold weapons, thermal weapons, etc.

Psychic coefficient, that what what what skin what Borg thinks, the ability is the transcendent evolution of mental power. This is because most of the manifestations of the ability are the control of fire, wind, water, lightning, magnetic fields, sand, metal, etc., and the control of these inherent forms in the form of an invisible transfer of ability.

Numerology coefficients, this is a false proposition. This coefficient retracts all the abilities that do not conform to the above four coefficients. For example, the abilities of 'lucky life', 'big winner', 'memory review' and 'tragic role' cannot be classified by the above four coefficients. Including emotion, humanity, luck, fate, opportunity, ・・・・・, etc.

The coefficient level is expressed as a number, with 9 being the highest as far as is known.

And the way the coefficients are incremented is very interesting.

It can be obtained or improved by injecting drugs, exercising, drawing crystals, studying, etc.

And the types and effects of abilities vary from person to person.

Two people with the same number of systems were injected with the 'Fit Limbs' skill potion, one successfully gained the ability to 'Fit Limbs', while the other gained the 'Developed Right Arm'・・・・・

There are absolutes in the world, and there are also contingencies. -- A certain philosopher.

Resource.

The snatching of resources is already a matter of vital importance at the moment.

Energy, daily consumables, firearms and ammunition・・・・・

These things are lacking anywhere.

Because of the lack of sunshine, food has become scarce, and in the big cities it is fine, but in the wilderness, in the villages of the subhumans, food is very expensive.

Some subhumans even throw away their own flesh and blood for a piece of bread.

Even among the homeless, the phenomenon of cannibalism is not uncommon.

As for medical medicines, guns and ammunition, tools and utensils, these all need to be supported by factories and related equipment. And factories, only in big cities・・・・・・

In addition to wind, thermal energy, and electric energy, there is also an additional 'crystalline energy'.

Crystallization energy is a high-end technology that uses the energy abundant in crystals.

Crystals, on the other hand, are found in high-level mutant organisms.

Just like the 'wanderer' that Stini hunted before, the gray crystals in its body are enough for a large factory to operate for months!

Although crystallization is hard to find, its value is extraordinary.

In the face of survival, everything becomes unimportant.

The weak eat the strong, those who have the ability to eat meat, and those who don't have the ability are hungry.

The law disappears, and the rules are changed at will.

An era where whoever has the biggest fist listens to whomever he wants.

One has no kindness, no righteousness, no goodness, only endless evil, boundless selfishness, bottomless greed.

The real end times.

This world is on the verge of destruction.
