"I can't believe you've spent the night alone in the wilderness." At noon the next day, looking at Ding Hao, who had returned safely, the bar owner was shocked and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"It's not the first time." Ding Hao was very indifferent to this. I think that when I first crossed over, one person, one knife and one gun, walked in the wilderness for two weeks before arriving at Copper Mining Town. In contrast, this night was like playing.

"It's a luminescent fungus." Ding Hao took out a large bag of glowing fungus from his backpack, and the bar was suddenly covered with a layer of green light.

The bar owner took the bag, first carefully checked whether there was any dirt and stones in it, weighed it, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done, these glowing fungi are enough to treat every radiation sickness patient in town, and I'm very grateful for that." After confirming that it was correct, the bar owner handed Ding Hao 10 green crystal nuclei as a reward for the task.

"It's a small thing." Ding Hao put away the crystal nucleus, "Do you still have a 9mm Luge bullet here?" ”

"9mm Luger?" Hearing Ding Hao say this, the bar owner suddenly looked embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, I bought out of my 9mm Luge bullet here yesterday, and the next replenishment will be 2 days later, are you in a hurry?" ”

"Fortunately, almost half of the ammunition was consumed on this mission." Ding Hao said, "Now the guys outside are more durable than the other, and the ammunition on their bodies is not sufficient, so they are not steady, you know this feeling." ”

"Hmm......" the barkeeper thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, "by the way, there is a traveling merchant in Coppertown this morning before you get back, you can ask him and ask, maybe you can buy some ammunition." ”

Traveling merchants are daring men who travel through the treacherous wilderness to sell their goods from one place to another to earn the difference...... Belch...... Admire.

"Where can I find that traveling merchant?" Ding Hao said.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be near the east gate of the town by now, after all, the two-headed cow is very conspicuous." The bar owner said to Ding Hao.

The two-headed cow, also known as Brahmin, is the most typical example of radiation mutation. The most distinctive feature of this type of cattle is that it has two heads and is hermaphroditic. Given their strength, stamina, lack of dietary requirements, and ability to tolerate high-radiation sewage and a variety of poisonous plants, the two-headed cow is the most popular means of transport in our time.

The two-headed cow is 30% larger than a normal cow, and the goods on the back of the two-headed cow are almost piled up into a small mountain, so Ding Hao immediately found this traveling merchant at the east gate of the copper mining town.

Ding Hao walked over, "Are you a traveling merchant?" ”

"yes, do you want something?" The traveling merchant turned to reveal the AKM assault rifle hanging in front of him, the barrel of which was polished and shiny, and at a glance he knew that it had been carefully maintained.

"Do you have 9mm luggers here?" Ding Hao asked.

"Of course, how much do you want?" The traveling merchant rummaged through the boxes on the back of the two-headed ox and pulled out several boxes of bullets the size of a palm.

"As much as you want." If it was two days ago, Ding Hao would have considered the price or weight of the bullet, but now not only is there no shortage of money, but there is also an interface space of 8 cubic meters, and of course there are as many consumables as bullets.

"150 rounds of 9mm Luger bullets, a total of 300 pieces." The traveling merchant handed the carton containing the bullet to Ding Hao, and when he saw Ding Hao's face, his eyes suddenly widened, "Mr. Ding, why are you here?" ”

"Mr. Ding? Do you know me? Taking the carton, Ding Hao asked with some confusion.

The traveling merchant rubbed his eyes and looked at Ding Hao carefully, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person, you and a friend of mine look too similar, both are black-haired Chinese, and you look like he is 20 years younger." ”

"That's a coincidence." Ding Hao suddenly felt that this traveling merchant might have seen the father of the body he occupied, "Can you tell me about the specific situation of that person?" ”

"No problem, I met him a month ago in the shallow water port to the south." Idle and bored, the traveling merchant is also happy to have someone to chat with him, "I was robbed by a group of marauders, and he saved me." Although this guy looks dejected and sad, he is surprisingly ruthless, and every marauder dies painfully and tragically. Then I provided the ammunition, and he single-handedly overthrew three marauder colonies near the shallow harbor, and it was a blast of combat. By the way, he seems to be called Ding Huahai, and he has a son named Ding Hao, but he was killed by the marauders, so he swore revenge, which is why he was so ruthless to the marauders. ”

Well, it seems that his cheap dad has quite good combat power.

According to what the traveling merchant said, Ding Hao has basically decided that Ding Huahai is his cheap father, so the next step is to go to the shallow port to find his information. If you can't find Ding Huahai, you will die, to be reasonable, this feeling of forcing people to do things is really uncomfortable.

After saying goodbye to the traveling merchant, Ding Hao opened the map module on the tactical terminal on his wrist. Judging from what the traveling merchant said, the shallow water port is supposed to be the port city of Astoria in the United States, and the copper mining town is more than 300 kilometers southeast of the Olympic National Forest Park.

If you want to cross this distance, you have to be prepared.

The first is a new skill that you have to learn to be hidden to stay safe. Ding Hao took a look at his skill interface and found that he was still more than a hundred experience points away from being upgraded, and this experience could be improved by absorbing a few crystal nuclei. Then there is food and water, most of the food in the wilderness contains radiation, which can cause damage to the body after eating, so at least have enough food rations and drinking water to eat for a month. Pure water that is completely radiation-free is not cheap, a bottle of 500 ml costs at least 100 yuan, but Ding Hao can afford this price. As for food, Ding Hao plans to buy the latest B-grade nutrients produced by Copper Mine Town.

The food is divided into six grades of ABCDEF, of which the C grade is radiation-free, similar to ordinary food before the war, the C-grade nutrient Ding Hao has been eating for more than a month, to be honest, this thing is like gnawing a candle, it is unpalatable to death, but fortunately, the price is not too expensive. Tier B, on the other hand, adds some special effects to Tier C without radiation, for example, the Tier B ration made from fire-breathing ant eggs will increase the speed of physical recovery in 6 hours by 30% after consumption.

This effect is fantastic, and to put it mildly, a 30% increase in stamina recovery is equivalent to one more life in some cases.

This Class B ration weighs 200 grams, is cheese-flavored, and costs 200 yuan, and one serving can provide three days of energy for an adult. Although it was very expensive, Ding Hao still bought ten servings unequivocally, and then bought 20 servings of C-grade nutrients, although C-grade nutrients are unpalatable, but they are cheap, and they don't feel distressed to eat.

After buying food, then it is the turn of medicine, and sufficient medicine is a guarantee of crossing the wilderness. Ding Hao first bought 5 radiation-canceling injections, and without radiation-neutralizing, ubiquitous radiation is the biggest threat. Then there are two epinephrine pens, the epinephrine that can provide explosive power for a short time is a very cost-effective agent, and it is not addictive, the only drawback is that repeated use can lead to muscle necrosis at the injection site.

Finally, there is the issue of transportation. In the past, 300 km was just a few hours by car. But now it takes at least 20 days to walk 300 kilometers on two legs, and God knows how many dangers will be encountered in those 20 days. So the safest way is to get a car that can still be driven, but now a car is a sign of a person with status, and without a prominent enough status, no amount of money can buy a car. If you want a car, then there is a place where you can definitely find it, Ding Hao's finger moved east along the screen of the tactical terminal, and finally stopped on a city icon.

It's called Seattle.

Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest and was named the best city to live in the United States before the outbreak of nuclear war, and is home to many world-renowned companies such as Boeing and Microsoft.

But now that all is a thing of the past, Seattle is now a vegetated ruin, with countless ghouls roaming the city. Getting a working car from a city full of ghouls is, really, no easy task.

The ghoul were originally highly mutated humans after being exposed to radiation, with a shriveled appearance that looked like a little old man, with only a triangular hole in the nose. However, contrary to the appearance, the ghouls are extremely fast and agile, often pounced from a distance before they could react, tearing open the bodies of living people with their claw-like hands, and tasting the delicious flesh and blood. If that's all it takes, it's a big deal to be a mutant beast in human form. The problem is that the ghouls still retain some intelligence, know how to use tools, create traps, and even know how to cooperate in ambushing their prey. What's even worse is that this monster that looks like a dry corpse still retains its reproductive function, can mate and reproduce like ordinary creatures, and is also very capable of giving birth, giving birth to five or six small ghouls in a litter.

Intelligence, ferocity, and superior reproductive abilities combine to make ghouls more dangerous than ever, and any city overrun by ghouls is a headache for humans.
