Before leaving for Thunder City, Qi Lin took out some supplies from his backpack, intending to fill up his food and hydration before setting off.

While munching on compressed biscuits that taste far better than in reality, I thought: a game is still a game, and there are many details related to survival, but it is still not perfect.

Take food alone, no matter what it is, as long as the radiation is safe, edible, and non-toxic, it can be converted into the satiety of the character's attributes at the same value, but in reality, how can it be so simple.

If you eat only one type of food all the time, then all kinds of problems will follow.

Like the most basic food in the slum - the scientific name is called "CN39 type synthetic ration", as the name suggests, this is something invented by the research institute of Huaxia District in 2039, a kind of food similar to milky white paste, the taste is bland and tasteless, when eating, you only need to add water and heat it into a thin porridge shape to eat, of course, you can eat it directly, but the taste is similar to soap.

This synthetic food contains only starch and a small amount of protein, and as for the various minerals and vitamins needed by the human body, the average person can only survive through a few small pills rationed by the shelter.

In the old days of nautical films, pirates were always inseparable from oranges, which is also the reason why people are very susceptible to sepsis because of the lack of vitamin C supply at sea.

There is not much land available for cultivation in the underworld, and almost all of the farm's output is consumed only by the wealthy, not to mention the cost of sunlight, humidity, temperature, etc., simulated by high-tech equipment, which has led to the price of those grains and fruits almost skyrocketing.

The meat is okay, and even if the genetically improved livestock is underground with insufficient light and harsh environment, as long as the feed supply is sufficient, it is basically not difficult to feed, but the reproductive rate is much lower than before the end of the world. And as a substitute for meat, the price of soy protein is also affordable for the average poor, but fruit, in this era, is really equated with luxury.

Qi Lin still remembered that the last time he ate fruit was half a year ago, it was a shriveled apple with a black skin and full of wrinkles that he bought from the black market for a full hundred resource points.

"I can't eat it in reality, I hope I can satisfy my mouth in the game......" Qi Lin looked up at the sky, the gray-yellow radiation cloud still blocked most of the sunlight, this kind of light may be difficult for some plants with high environmental requirements to survive, but for some varieties with tenacious vitality, it is enough.

Moreover, there are so many mutant plants, there are always varieties that can be eaten and taste good - the Chinese people are definitely the most powerful race on the planet when it comes to eating.

Wrapping the leftover biscuits and putting them back in his backpack, Qi Lin took two more sips of water, then jumped into the SUV and started the engine.

He didn't plan to go directly to Thunder City, but decided to collect some materials in the wilderness that could be traded, whether it was in exchange for weapons, food, or directly exchanging them for resource points.

The powerful engine of the off-road vehicle let out a roar, and Qi Lin only felt the seat push his back, and the whole car rushed out quickly.

Qi Lin sighed secretly in his heart: This super-off-road vehicle that has been modified by the devil, every time he drives it, it is so refreshing.

However, after less than ten minutes, Qi Lin couldn't get cool - the red warning light of insufficient fuel lit up on the dashboard, and according to the calculation of Zhi Brain, the remaining fuel in the fuel tank could continue to drive for about five or six kilometers.

Gasoline is used to drive rocket thrusters...... It's a bit too fast.

The previous owner didn't seem to have thought about this problem at all, Qi Lin searched the whole car, and even turned out a box of latex sleeves that looked quite high-end under the rear seats, but he didn't find the shadow of the spare oil drum.

Before the last gas station passed by the Radiant Lake, Qi Lin had already gone to check it, and there was only a layer of oil residue similar to silt in the underground oil tank, which could not be used without purification and distillation.

As for that small nuclear reactor...... Nuclear fuel is generally not available in places, Huaxia uranium ore reserves are not much, most of the nuclear fuel before the war relied on imports, and when it comes to nuclear power plants, the closest nuclear power plant to Qilin is located in the former site of Lianyungang in northern Jiangsu, and it is even farther away than the Thunder City located in the old site of Xuzhou.

"This wilderness ...... Where to go for gas? ”

Qi Lin kicked the car door a little depressed, and then found that he was still holding the box of condoms that he had turned out.

"Thread? Bumps? Delay? Rich people have a lot of tricks, but they don't know how to bring some spare gas-"

Throwing the sleeve into the car window, Qi Lin was reluctant to throw away this thing, although he didn't know if there was such a thing as pregnancy in the game, but at least if he took it to Thunder City, it was something that could be sold for money.

Camouflaged the off-road vehicle, Qi Lin walked out for a few kilometers, and finally found a trace of human life.

It was the ruins of a small village, and the buildings had largely collapsed, leaving only a ruined wall less than half a person high.

"Rural ...... There should be generators, and farm machinery needs fuel, but hopefully it's not all diesel. ”

This off-road vehicle uses a gasoline engine, due to the existence of rocket thrusters, the problem of small power due to low torque of the gasoline engine has been basically solved, and higher rpm can bring higher acceleration, but in this way, if Qi Lin finds diesel, then he can only sigh.

The working principle of the gasoline engine and the diesel engine is completely different, the gasoline engine is to suck in the air-oil mixture and compress it, and then ignite it with a spark plug, while the diesel engine uses a high-pressure nozzle to atomize and compress the diesel fuel and let it ignite on its own, and there is no spark plug at all.

Using the wrong fuel is not only easy to stall and break down, but also damages the engine, without this off-road vehicle, Qi Lin doesn't want to cross almost the entire Soviet Province with his own feet.

The small village was affected by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, and after another three years of nuclear winter, the bricks and stones fired in the earthen kiln were so fragile that Qi Lin turned into powder with a light crush of his fingers, and at a glance, there was almost nothing usable.

However, Qi Lin didn't care at all, because, you know, in the countryside of China, most people have such a thing as a "cellar".

The villages on the ground have almost been wiped out by the nuclear explosion, but the underground should still be quite well preserved, and even due to the thick layer of soil, the radiation concentration in the cellar is not too high, similar to a disguised shelter.

However, Qi Lin didn't think that there would be living people in the cellar, in order to store things, the oxygen concentration in the cellar was generally relatively low, and even if someone brought in oxygen generators and activated carbon specifically for refuge, there would definitely not be enough food and water in the cellar to survive the three-year nuclear winter.

Sure enough, when Qi Lin found the first cellar and opened it, a faint smell permeated the air.

It is a smell that slowly decays when dried corpses are kept in a confined environment, and because of the isolation from radiation, there are no living dead such as zombies and zombies in the cellar.

Qi Lin waited until the air inside and the outside circulated, took out a lighter, lit it, and slowly stepped on the rotten ladder that creaked with every step.

"Hopefully I'll find something useful."
