Soon, Zhang Yun changed her clothes, and everyone came to the restaurant together, occupying the largest table, that is, the bar. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Seven people sat in a row, and under the power of the NRC banknotes, which are said to depreciate frequently, a plate of less disgusting food was placed in front of them.

The one in front of Ling Qi looked like a fortified fried steak, an inch thick, slightly smaller than the plate, and about two pounds.

The meat is grayish-brown, a little burnt and coarse, and it should belong to some kind of large mammal, it smells quite good, and it is sprinkled with some spice like Sichuan peppercorns, and the cabbage leaves are padded underneath.

Ling Qi cut a small piece with a knife, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and found that in addition to being a little old, the taste was still very good and acceptable, so he immediately took a big bite to eat.

When the other people saw the boss eating, they hesitated to start an offensive against the barbecue of the unknown creature in front of them, and they were also disgusted by the food placed on the other people's tables.

The white and brown liquid like stool, the half-baked flies that have been peeled and roasted, the piles of unidentified objects like rotten jelly, and the smell of unreliability for a while.

Oh my God, it's a terrible world.

Fortunately, the food of the people is obviously not of the same grade as those guys around them, the price is more than ten times higher, and the taste is also carefully cooked.

Except for the two girls who ate Sven, several other men, including Leo, began to chew and swallow after a few bites, and the other diners around couldn't help but swallow their saliva, looking at the food they were used to eating on weekdays, they instantly lost their appetite.

It's not that everyone doesn't know moderation, it's just that after coming here, everyone's hunger level is a bit high, and it seems that the master intends to make them adapt to the quality of life here in advance.

Ling Qi, who was the first to finish eating, asked Chu Di for a cocktail again, and talked to her while drinking, only to realize that what they had eaten before was really beef, but it was not the veal that people loved to eat hundreds of years ago, but a mutated two-headed cow.

This mild-tempered, tamable mutant creature has a rare flesh that does not carry a radiation source due to mutation, unlike most mutated creatures in the wasteland.

Among all mutated organisms, there are very few that do not carry a radiation source themselves, and although they are not exposed to radiation if they are approached normally, they are likely to be exposed to radiation once they eat or are scratched by them in close combat.

In fact, living in such a land, exposure to radiation is simply commonplace, and water, plants, animal husbandry, and radiation are almost everywhere. The reason why Qingquan Town is named after Qingquan is because the groundwater here is rare and not contaminated by radiation!

In many other places in the wasteland, water like this is sold by the bottle, and not everyone can afford to drink it.

It is not uncommon to drink dirty water contaminated with radiation all year round in the wasteland, and it is not uncommon for anyone to drink and die. As long as the radiation accumulation is not high, it usually does not cause immediate physical disease, even if it is harmful to the body.

The human body itself has a certain degree of resistance to radiation, and even if it is accidentally exposed to radiation, if the degree is not severe, the physiological functions will automatically adjust and effectively discharge the source of pollution from the body.

As for the strength of resistance and tolerance, it is related to one's own basic quality.

For example, a stronger person is less susceptible to radiation sickness, and it is easier for the body to digest radiation when exposed to radiation.

Unfortunately, most of the people in the wasteland are not in good health, which even leads to the deterioration of the genetics, which will pass on this disadvantage from generation to generation.

The average physical fitness of human beings in the wasteland is not even seventy percent of that of the peaceful era two hundred years ago, which means that the basic physical fitness of those wasteland nomads, especially their physique, is almost all below 7 points!

Those who came out of the underground shelter are said to be in good shape.

Ling Qi didn't care too much about radiation, with his physique close to twice that of ordinary people, as long as he didn't die and approached some seriously polluted radiation sources, ordinary radiation could not hurt him at all. In short, he was born with a high level of defense.

As for those teammates, they are generally much better than the nomads in the wasteland, and Ling Qi had previously purchased a batch of anti-radiation agents and raditenin for them at Chet's grocery store. Those are ordinary drugs, and if there is no instructions, Ling Qi would not know the use.

As a chemical agent, of course, there is no benefit to using this kind of thing too much, it will only reduce its own radiation resistance and radiation defense simultaneously, but it is better to use it temporarily for teammates than to die of radiation sickness.

Seeing that the crowd except for the two ladies had finished their Chinese food and began to order drinks as if they were clubbing in a normal world, Ling Qi took advantage of Chudi's busyness and asked about her, the Bomb Gang, and Ringo.

Previously, because Ling Qi had been chatting with Chudi about trivial matters, although he had also asked some information about Benny, these were not very attractive to treasure hunters, so the surrounding diners paid much less attention to them.

Chu Di was slightly stunned with his back to the bartending figures of several people, and he didn't ask Ling Qi how he knew about this, and said seemingly casually:

"It's nothing, it's just another plot by that bastard Joe Cobb. Ringo is just a passing merchant who belongs to the Crimson Caravan, but unfortunately he meets the Bomb Gang and everything is stolen. He was lucky, not many people paid attention to him at first, and he was lucky enough to break out of the siege and escape here. ”

"Nominally, Joe Cobb was coming after him on behalf of the Bombs. In fact, who doesn't know, that bastard has long wanted to control Qingquan Town, and this time he just found another excuse. ”

Chuti's tone was very cold, but there was a trace of exhaustion and helplessness in his words. She seemed to be speaking lightly, but Ling Qi could hear it, and she didn't even have the slightest confidence that she would be able to successfully resist the bomb gang's menacing situation.

"Then why don't you hand over Ringo. ”

Before Ling Qi could speak, Cheng Shao, who was sitting on his left, had already rushed to ask. On the surface, he seemed to show the treasure hunter's wisdom and self-preservation vividly, but in fact, Ling Qi could feel that he was completely testing Chudi, or testing himself!

Sure enough, with Chuti's answer, an imperceptible smile appeared on his calm face, and it was quickly put away by him.

"Hand it over?! How is it possible, hmph, this is Qingquan Town, a free land, not the territory of the Bomb Gang! Anyone who comes to Qingquan Town will be protected by Qingquan Town. What's more, Ringo is also a victim, what kind of goods is the Bomb Gang, who in this vicinity doesn't know?!"

Chu Di's tone was very excited, he turned around and put the wine glass heavily in front of Cheng Shao, the crystal liquid splashed out a little, and the movement attracted a few eyes, but when those people heard that the matter was related to the Bomb Gang, they immediately turned their heads, but they didn't hear it.

Obviously, the Bomb Gang is a much stronger deterrent in this vicinity than the Deathclaw Knight.

Cheng Shao hurriedly stood up and apologized to Chu Di, saying that he didn't understand the rules, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Ling Qi was surprised, but this newcomer was really interesting, so he followed his wishes, stood up and rounded the field, leaned in front of Chu Di, and asked in a low voice:

"Then why don't you just kill Joe Cobb!"

Hearing that this guy was about to kill casually, Chu Di behaved very calmly, but the newcomers around him, especially the two women, were slightly stunned.

Cheng Shao's face was happy, and Chu Di's words made his joy disappear completely.

"Kill him?"

The woman had a slight look of emotion on her face, but it quickly disappeared.

"No, if I do that, then what's the difference between me and them!"

Cheng Shao sat down, holding the wine glass with his right hand a little hard.

Ling Qi was calm, but he couldn't help but hear the words in Chu Di's words.

This is a wasteland world, not a wasteland imagined by a group of foreigners living in peacetime, but a real barren land. The morality of bullshit, what rules do you have to talk about when someone knocks on the door, and there will really be a naïve stupid hat like Spider-Man in the wasteland?

Not to mention the disgusting face of the Bomb Gang, it is purely a group of hooligans and bandits who do all kinds of evil, and simply because they want to get their hands on Qingquan Town, Chudi probably won't mind throwing a nuclear bomb at their lair, if she has the ability.

The reason why the residents of Qingquan are still barely surviving is that it is an independent town that is not managed, so they do not have to pay taxes or be levied protection fees.

Otherwise, not to mention the Bomb Gang to take over, I'm afraid that the NRC, an organization with a fairly good reputation, will also make this place miserable.

It's not about politics, it's purely about the situation. If you want to take over, you have to send people to manage it, and you have to station the armed forces, and these expenses have to be borne by the townspeople? But how can the townspeople, who are already stumbling around, have spare money to support the army?

Now, to defend against the surrounding evil forces and mutated creatures, it basically depends on self-defense and the help of passing treasure hunters, although it is not easy to live, it can still barely survive.

It has to be said that as long as a place forms inherent rules and effects, then there must be a reason for its appearance. Blindly applying the old system is not called management, it is completely unreasonable. Just like those who shout about why not eat minced meat, they may not have bad intentions, but they are just ignorant.

Not to mention an ignorant and black-hearted organization like the Bombs?

Chudi is reluctant to take the lead, firstly, she probably has some hole cards, more than self-preservation and lack of progress; secondly, she probably doesn't want to offend the Bomb Gang too much, so as to leave a way out for the future; thirdly, Ringo is just an outsider after all, and it is already the limit to not hand him over, and she has to help him solve troubles, she is not so idle; finally, she is afraid that the order she has established will be destroyed!

In fact, at all, she was still hesitant! Like most of the residents of Qingquan Town, she hated the Bomb Gang and did not dare to offend them too much. For example, this time, Joe Cobb must have looked for her and warned her in advance. Just like that man looking for a relationship to win over Ling Qi, he is actually a very cerebral person.

If Joe Cobb just wanted to find Ringo, and had no intention of getting involved in Clear Springs, I'm afraid there wouldn't be that much conflict between the two!

The Ringo incident is not the key, and he is not an important figure, it is purely an introduction.

Cheng Shao didn't see it through, so he didn't understand what Chu Di meant, Ling Qi understood, so he smiled and sat down, he knew that things must still change!

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, just when the newcomers couldn't stay stunned and wanted to do something more "meaningful", the door of the hotel was pushed open again!

Coming in was a young woman in red leather armor, about twenty years old, tall and curvy.

Her complexion was slightly tanned, and her whole person looked out of place in the dilapidated environment around her, and she was rarely full of vigor and sunshine.

She must have bathed a lot, and her equipment was scrubbed a lot, so even if it was stained with wind and dust, it made people feel clean and look pleasant.

"Hey, Sunny, you're out hunting again?"

Chu Di greeted her warmly, this was not like the seven-point politeness when facing Ling Qi, but really happy, as if her arrival gave her strength and more backbone.

"Huh~ This person is..."

Tang Xiao frowned and thought about it, Cheng Shao looked at the person who came and was a little stunned, but Ling Qi quietly blocked the wood elf behind him, and Li Ao inadvertently stroked the bow ridge behind his backhand!

"It's kind of interesting. ”

Ling Qi smiled, he was still more interested in facing the first person in this world who could make him feel threatened.

Although with his aesthetics, this woman is a little sunny, but also too brilliant, looking too active, too straightforward, and not intellectual enough.

He still left his seat and walked straight over.

The surrounding drinkers, who had fallen silent again after Sunny entered, suddenly didn't even dare to come out.

"Hello, my name is Lynch, and you're also a friend of Chuti, don't you know what to call it?"

Although he already knew her name, out of politeness, Ling Qi still asked like this.

Shanni frowned, she seemed to dislike Ling Qi's accosting, or maybe she simply hated him as a person. She is like a Qinglian in the mud, and that man, on the contrary, is like a shadow in the sun!

Chu Di seemed to have noticed his friend's unhappiness, but because of Ling Qi's identity, he immediately started a round.

Shanni had no choice but to stretch out her hand, clapped her palm with Ling Qi, and said lightly:

"Sunny Smalway, some people call me Smiling Sunny. ”

Smailway translated into local English as a smile, and Ling Qi was not surprised. Some of the other people around who heard her introduce herself couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"Smiling Sanny, smiling Grim Reaper!"

With a casual introduction to herself, Sunny stopped bothering with a man she was naturally disgusted with. Although she is known for hunting lizards and coyotes, she doesn't mind having a mutated deathclaw on her hunting spectrum.

In the face of Shanny's snubbing, Chudi helplessly threw an apologetic look at Ling Qi, indicating that he could not do anything. She probably thought that Ling Qi wanted to strike up a conversation with Shanni and then develop some super-friendly short-lived relationship.

Even Chudi herself had to admit that although Shanny was not pretty, she was very average, her breasts were not big enough, her hips were not big enough, and she didn't like to dress up, but she was more attractive than herself, as if she had become the only thing in this wasteland that could make people recall the good old days, which had nothing to do with age.

Ling Qi shrugged his shoulders and returned to his seat.

In the face of Tang Xiao's bold ridicule, he only ignored it and did not explain his behavior too much.

Seeing this, Chen Shao's eyes flashed, and he actually put forward the intention of trying to get in touch with Shanni, which immediately attracted the ridicule of the other two male teammates.

Sunny's sunshine may eclipse all the charms of the wasteland, but for those of them who live in peacetime, there is no particular attraction to them, at most they look a little more pleasing to the eye than a casual woman like Chuti.

With only seven people and a team of followers, the atmosphere is quite harmonious at the moment, but there are already some signs of forming small groups in private.

The two women are obviously closer, and others don't have much to say. The fat man firmly followed Ling Qi's footsteps, and even deliberately flattered the wood elves, probably now that he made him Leo's follower, he would not have an opinion. And Cheng Shao and Tang Xiao should be regarded as the two best quality of the newcomers this time, they probably failed to rub the spark of sympathy for each other, but had a sense of rivalry.

Ling Qi can understand Tang Xiao's desire to perform, he should understand that he has no hope of becoming the strongest person in the team and the actual person in charge, but he is also determined to become a role like a military advisor, this mentality is probably related to his age and experience.

Young brand-name college students, courage and commitment may not be much, want to express their desire is certainly not small, the brain is also very flexible, and can recognize their own advantages and position.

It's this Cheng Shao, who is not a few years younger than himself...

"Okay, you can go and try it, maybe you can get some useful information. ”

Just when Cheng Shao frowned at what the two teammates said and wanted to leave directly, Ling Qi's faint words floated over.

"Captain—"

The fat man and Tang Xiao both looked surprised.

"It's okay, let's try it~"

Ling Qi repeated it again, Cheng Shao flashed his eyes, confessed his guilt, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the two women who were giggling.

He didn't look at the other two teammates when he left, and he showed his recklessness and conceit to the fullest.

"Phew~ What the hell, Lao Tzu was just joking with him. ”

The fat man Li Qiang was very angry that he was being ignored by the same newcomer, but Tang Xiao, and after seeing that Cheng Shao's guy really mingled with Shanni, he couldn't help but think a little when he looked at Ling Qi.

In his vision, no matter from which point of view, Ling Qi is much more attractive than a newcomer. Temperament, demeanor, body type, appearance, identity, Ling Qi is all better than someone. Even he himself had to admit that if he was a woman, he would not give up an obviously strong handsome man to like what kind of turtle he liked. This sister is not Dong Yongchuan, the myth and legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

And looking at Ling Qi's expression as a matter of course, it was as if he had really expected this situation and didn't mind.

Either he is an ugly man himself, and he just deceives his teammates through some kind of illusion, but he can't deceive the plot characters. Either he has some secrets that are not made public, such as his other identities in this world, such as...

In short, this captain is probably not simple-

Tang Xiao muttered in his heart, he always felt that Ling Qi was not a good gentleman, although he had always behaved very friendly.

There are usually only two kinds of people who don't care about the subtleties and seem to be gentle, and they all have hills and valleys in their hearts.

Ling Qi, which one is it?
