The words "purification failure" lingered in the young man's ears like an afterword, and he lowered his head in disappointment.

Not long ago, whenever Ren Hai saw vegetables, these sounds would appear in his brain, but the result was always a failure, and the most critical place was the so-called happiness value.

However, what is this happiness value, Ren Hai has not figured it out until now, is he not happy?

Putting the dug potatoes and the leaves on them in the cloth bag, Ren Hai patted the cloth bag and nodded with satisfaction, the bad mood just now because of the purification failure was also left behind.

Although the potatoes are not edible, they can be sold to grocery stores in market towns in exchange for "energy capsules" necessary for life.

Due to food shortages and safety problems, energy capsules came into being, it is a product researched by the Federal Xia Dynasty Scientific Research Institute, which has the effect of providing energy for the human body, but does not have the effect of satiety.

After all, it's nice to be alive!

As for why the grocery store got this radiation-rich potato, this is not Ren Hai's concern.

Stepping on the return journey again, the light rain gradually stopped, and Ren Hai, who was not eroded by acid rain, was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

It didn't take long for Ren Hai to feel tired in his limbs, his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, and the good mood that he had just gained gradually disappeared.

This time, he only brought an energy capsule, which had already been eaten in the morning, and the poor energy that had been reduced due to the long exercise had long been exhausted.

After all, it is the lowest level of energy capsules, how long can it last?

The hunger in his belly, coupled with the exhaustion of his body's energy, gradually eroded Ren Hai's calm brain.

He took out a piece of sand scorpion meat hidden somewhere in his body, slowly opened the wrapper, and looked at the sticky matter in the shell, the milky white goo looked tempting, and Ren Hai swallowed the saliva secreted wildly in his mouth.

Soon, the desire to eat overwhelmed reason, Ren Hai broke off pieces of sand scorpion meat a little roughly, stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice at will and swallowed it directly into his abdomen, stomach acid rolling, and quickly digested the few foods.

He needs more!

Although he didn't eat enough, and he didn't even have enough to be at the bottom, he finally came to his senses and couldn't eat.

Ren Hai inhaled hard through his nose, trying to keep his brain awake, but inhaled a large amount of dust.

Not good!

Ren Hai hurriedly looked behind him, half of the sky was covered with huge sand and dust, and the already somewhat dim sky became even darker, and the air was filled with dust.

A sandstorm is coming.

Maybe it was this piece of sand scorpion meat that played a role, or maybe it was this mutated sandstorm that stimulated Ren Hai's potential to survive, and he gradually gained some strength in his body, he didn't dare to delay too much, took a step, and ran desperately towards Xinyang Town.

The sand and dust gradually caught up with Ren Hai's pace, the speed was very fast, Ren Hai tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, adjusted his breathing rate, hit the ground with his heels, exerted force on his toes, and threw his arms away. This is a trick he has discovered all year round, and the amplitude of the swing of his arms has a lot to do with the distance between his two legs.

Under the desperate run, Xinyang Town gradually appeared in front of Ren Hai, gradually becoming bigger from small.

"Quick... Quick, hide, the sandstorm is coming. Before he reached the market town, Ren Hai shouted desperately.

The guards outside the fence of the market town saw that it was Ren Hai and hurriedly stopped him.

"It's you kid again, it's just dust, it's dust, it's so alarmist, I think you just want to escape radiation detection, and the radiation value exceeds the standard?"

The guards who stopped Ren Hai were unkempt, their dark faces could be rubbed out of a hand of mud with a casual rub, and they were wearing a variegated cloth coat that was not bad in the market town, the buttons of the jacket were not buttoned, they were bare-chested, very thin, and their ribs bulged outward, with the dry and wrinkled skin, they could only make people think of the old Longzhong.

Ren Hai looked anxious, he didn't bother to explain at this time, after some testing, it would take at least ten minutes, and by then, the sandstorm would come, and it would be too late.

Then, he took out a piece of sand scorpion meat that he had divided, stuffed it into the hands of the guards, and said, "Uncle Hu, don't be in a hurry to explain, this is for you, next time you will test." Feeling the increasingly rich smell of dust on the tip of his nose, Ren Hai slipped through the door from Uncle Hu's side.

Uncle Hu opened the package, looked at the piece of sand scorpion meat, his eyes showed greed, and he hurriedly pretended to be up, looked in the direction of Ren Hai, and shouted: "You used your own life to raise your sister for nothing, and in the end, didn't you want to be cheap Du Litao?" ”

Hearing the words "Du Litao", Ren Hai's figure paused, clenched his fist vigorously, and made a creaking, crunching sound, and the pause did not exceed a second, Ren Hai sped up again.

Outside the fence, more and more yellow dust filled the air, and the wind became louder and louder, blowing the sand and gravel on the ground.

"Oh no, what this kid said is true." Uncle Hu shouted, hurriedly ran into the gate, and stuck the gate with a long wooden block.

The inhabitants who had lived in the wasteland for a long time were already familiar with this kind of road, and without anyone notifying, everyone packed up their few "possessions" and hurriedly hid in the crumbling cabins.

At this time, Ren Hai had already run to his cabin.

The cabins were simply made of dilapidated logs of varying lengths, which served no purpose other than shade and a little privacy, and could be destroyed by a sandstorm.

It is said that these logs were originally eliminated from the envelope castle, but they are already valuable to the inhabitants of the market towns outside the castle.

These logs were cut down from that extremely dangerous area, and only those big people in the city had the strength to send people to step into those areas.

Outside Ren Hai's cabin, there was nothing except a drying rack made of three relatively small pieces of wood, and he didn't have to clean up like the others, so he took out a small hole next to the wooden house, took out an iron lock, opened it with a key, and walked directly in.

In the cabin, a young girl sits by a pit made of stones, her young hands holding an iron rod and pulling the burning wood in the pit.

On top of the fire pit was a small black iron pot with some cloudy liquid, and from time to time some green leaves tumbled up from the bottom of the pot.

The little girl's face is much cleaner than Ren Hai's, with two simple ponytails, slender black eyebrows, bright and clean eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth, which looks very cute, Ren Hai knows that this is beautiful.

This is not a thing to be happy about, in this wasteland, sometimes, being beautiful is also a sin, and when she goes out on weekdays, she carefully makes herself ugly before she goes out.

She was dressed in a complete set of cloth clothes, which were gray, and the cloth clothes had a few patches, which could be regarded as "gorgeous" compared to the shabby coarse linen clothes on Ren Hai's body, and the cloth clothes looked loose, obviously not tailor-made.

Ren Hai saw that the little girl was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a round iron piece on the side, and covered the fire pit, which was the fastest and lowest cost way to extinguish the fire, and then quickly picked up a rag, wrapped both sides of the iron pot, and served it directly.

"Li Meng, quick, clean up and go into the nest."

After finishing speaking, Ren Hai walked to the corner of the cabin with the iron pot, put the iron pot down, and picked up the stones in the corner, revealing a heavy iron piece with a side length of one and a half meters, which was the entrance to the nest.

Ren Hai moved it away vigorously, took the iron pot, and walked down the stairs, walking very steadily, not a drop of the turbid liquid in the iron pot spilled out, after all, this is the only stock that can be drunk and replenished.

"Brother, wait for me, I'll get something." Li Meng knew the seriousness of the situation, this kind of sandstorm, if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Squeak! Squeak!

The cabin was creaky with the strong wind, and Ren Hai shouted anxiously in the nest: "Hurry, hurry." ”

"Here we are." Li Meng responded.

Then he heard a trot, Ren Hai's eyes looked down the simple stairs, and saw Li Meng holding a spherical black bead in his hand, and hurriedly walked down.

Bang dang!

The entrance to the dimple was blocked by a heavy iron sheet, and the already dim dimple suddenly became dark, and when the heavy iron sheet was fastened, everything was safe, and Ren Hai also put down the heart that had been hanging.

In the darkness, only the spherical black bead in Li Meng's hand was emitting a faint white light.

Ren Hai was accustomed to it and did not feel strange, and then, he began to grope for himself, took out a pair of flints, found the oil lamp placed in the ground along the wall, and lit it.
