Chapter Thirty-Six: Three-Phase Bombs Build a Radiation Hell
The reversed bent knees allow the fugitives to be faster, even comparable to that of a galloping horse.
It's just that although his speed is fast, he doesn't have the endurance of a horse after all, so he can't maintain high speed for a long time.
Soon, he had been overtaken by one of his pursuers behind him, and with a swing of his long knife, he slashed at the back of the bent-knee, who immediately fell into the desert.
The two pursuers stopped and ran towards the bent knee in ecstasy, apparently having something important on the other.
Just as the pursuers approached the corpse of the fugitive, the corpse suddenly turned violently, already had two short knives in his hands, and his knees were bent, and he suddenly ejected and stabbed into the chests of the two pursuers!
The pursuer didn't expect the other party to fight back at all, and immediately let out a few screams, clutching his chest and falling down, losing his breath.
The bent knee staggered to the two horses, but before he could reach him, he fell to the ground, and again made no sound.
Behind him, blood poured out.
Shen Feng hid on the top floor of the ruins of the building, and observed with a telescope for a while, making sure that no one else appeared, and the three of them had indeed been lying in the hot desert for a long time without moving, so they walked out of the ruins of the ruined town and ran quickly towards the three of them.
Soon, he had come to the scene of a fierce battle.
The blood-soaked sand had turned brown, and the three strangers were too dead to die anymore.
And their appearance made Shen Feng frown.
The fugitive's appearance was normal, but the two dead pursuers were much stranger.
A hunched back, with a distinct spinal deformity, and a large lump on the shoulder, like a second head.
The other hand turned out to be a foot, and there was a long, fluffy tail dragging behind him.
All three of them were born with mutations due to radiation.
Their clothes looked tattered, as if they had been woven together with a lot of rags and rags.
Shen Feng searched the two pursuers, and only found a small bag of a dozen bottle caps, as well as a bottle of water that was somewhat greenish, in a broken plastic bottle.
On the body of the person with bent knees, there were also only three or four bottle caps, and the other was something that Shen Feng was familiar with.
A small plastic bottle that has turned yellow, inside are five small tablets that have expired for an unknown number of years, half of which have become medicinal powder, and it can be seen from the faint traces of PPA on it that it seems to be a pyridoxine tablet for diarrhea.
Could it be that it is this little medicine bottle that makes them fight each other?
Shen Feng put away the small medicine bottle and walked towards the two horses.
At this time, he realized that these two horses were also different from the horses in his impression.
One of the horses had an eye-like slit on its forehead, and an incomplete eye grew inside!
The other horse had a shrunken leg hanging from its belly, and half of its body was hairless, which looked terrifying.
Apparently the two horses were also products of radiation.
Fortunately, the Geiger counter did not ring.
Shen Feng led the two horses, turned over on the horse, and headed in the direction where the three of them came.
Fortunately, I learned to ride a horse in the last days of the stone statue, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
With these two horses, the speed is much faster.
The point is, with these two horses, it means that it is not far from getting out of this desert!
Otherwise, horses would not have been able to come to such a place without fodder.
Sure enough, after walking for almost an hour, he was finally able to see some sparse trees in the distance, and they were relatively normal in shape, completely different from the twisted trees in the nuclear explosion zone.
Not only trees, but also sparse artemisia grass, growing in clumps on the ground.
The two horses also became much more excited, and quickly got out of the desert, and began to eat grass.
Shen Feng climbed a tree seven or eight meters high and looked into the distance.
He was disappointed that there was no trace of human activity as far as the eye could see.
It's still wilderness, sparse trees, sparse artemisia grass.
At this moment, a silver light flashed, and Shen Feng couldn't help but light up, not far ahead, there was a small river!
He immediately turned on his horse and headed for the river.
Soon he had come to the river, the water was so clear that it seemed to be a tributary of some river in the distance, and it was gurgling through.
Shen Feng's face sank.
The river is so clean......
There are no aquatic animals in it, not even a few aquatic plants.
The shrubs and artemisia grass on the surrounding river banks were extremely distorted, even making Shen Feng feel a kind of madness.
The two horses did not even lean on this side.
Moreover, there are some beautiful colored light spots at the bottom of the river, like glass fragments.
Shen Feng took out the Geiger counter and inserted it into the water, and the buzzer immediately sounded the alarm, and the number on the screen also changed to 425.
Sure enough, it was a river of radiation.
The upper reaches of the river should have flowed through an area of strong radiation.
Shen Feng got on his horse again, left here, and continued to walk forward.
This time, just after half an hour, the buzzer of the Geiger counter immediately sounded, and the further forward, the louder the sound became, and the more sparse the vegetation became.
Obviously, there is another area of high-intensity radiation ahead.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Feng immediately turned around and headed towards the south.
It's just that the next day has been walking, and at night, there is still not the slightest trace of a human being!
It was as if the three people he met were already the last human beings!
During this period, he even saw a town completely destroyed by a nuclear bomb from a distance, and even used a telescope to see the black shadow of a human being vaporized into the wall when the nuclear bomb exploded.
At night, he found a dilapidated building wreckage as a temporary shelter, and Shen Feng slept for a while and continued his journey the next day.
For the next three days, he didn't encounter any towns where humans lived.
Along the way, the sound of the Geiger counter sounded from time to time, alerting him to the imminent entry into the radiation zone in a certain direction.
He kept changing directions, moving along the gaps in the various radiation areas, and the more he walked, the heavier his mood became.
Originally, it was thought that there were relatively few areas of high-intensity radiation, but now it seems that there are only a few areas that have not been exposed to radiation.
The density of the nuclear explosion zone is simply too high!
And judging from the detection values of the Geiger counter, all of them are three-phase bombs with a layer of uranium-238 shell wrapped in a thermonuclear shell!
The so-called three-phase bomb, to put it in layman's terms, the atomic bomb is wrapped with a layer of thermonuclear material, which is a hydrogen bomb, and the hydrogen bomb is wrapped with a layer of depleted uranium material, which is a three-phase bomb!
Once the three-phase bomb explodes, it will produce large-scale and long-term high-intensity radiation pollution.
Basically, the strategic nuclear weapons of all nuclear-armed powers are three-phase bombs, which can be called the most lethal nuclear weapons.
After walking for five days, Shen Feng still didn't see any traces of human activity, and half of the food he was carrying had already been eaten.
Fortunately, he came across an extremely deep well, which allowed him to replenish a clean water source, otherwise, he might have died of thirst before he could find a human.
Finally, on the fifth day, the Geiger counter had not sounded the alarm for two days, and it seemed that he had come to a clean land.
Moreover, he even saw a lizard that was rapidly climbing on the ground.
At night, when night fell, Shen Feng suddenly found that a firelight appeared in the distance. 、
Someone!
He immediately led his horse and hurried over, and heard a loud conversation in the distance, and it was evident that the other party was very happy.
Five people sat around a campfire, setting up a makeshift grill, and next to a long log of wood, the food they were about to roast was tied to it.
Alone.
