Chapter 362: Alert
Sitting in the small shop opposite the mercenary center, Zhao Li ordered a "black bread" for himself and Shirin, and ordered an extra glass of "second-level water" for Shirin, which moved the little boy Shilin enough.
"Uncle, no, these things are too expensive, I'll just drink third-level water and assorted bread..." Shirin hurriedly persuaded that these foods were too valuable.
Neither "brown bread" nor assorted bread is true bread - in this discarded wasteland, it is difficult to find artificial crops such as wheat, and few people do it.
These so-called breads are made from the fruits of wild starch plants that have been mutated by nuclear radiation, and don't ask what happens to taking these things for a long time, at least it is better than starving to death.
As for "assorted bread", it seems to be more upscale than brown bread, but it is actually a darker thing, and there is no fresh fruit, bacon tenderloin or anything in it, but a variety of other plants or synthetic ingredients, so it is called assorted bread.
The black bread that Zhao Li ordered for Shirin was quite good food, and each serving required 2 bottle caps, and as for the second-level water, it was also a very valuable resource, and this store sold 2 bottle caps per cup.
The so-called tertiary water and secondary water are completely new things divided in this wasteland era, and to put it bluntly, they are to measure the radiation pollution level of water.
Tertiary water contains a lot of radioactive substances or pollutants, but the concentration is not directly lethal, and it can be drunk, but it is a matter of time before you get radiation sickness or deformity after drinking it for a long time, as for secondary water, it is after a certain treatment, or the natural water quality is better, containing less radioactive substances, at least the human body does not have a very obvious problem with the water source - this kind of water, the general wasteland residents are not able to drink.
As for the more advanced first-class water, pure water or something... Sorry, you can't get this kind of roadside shop, and if you want it, you have to go to the mercenary center and exchange it for contribution points.
In other words, the dinner that Zhao Li invited Xilin to eat was already a very high-standard wasteland meal, in fact, Zhao Li originally wanted to order some meat dishes, but he didn't know what kind of meat it was, so he decided to be a vegetarian.
"It's okay, you and your sister have done me a favor that far exceeds the value of this dinner. ”
Zhao Li shook his head, and when he saw that Shirin still wanted to refuse, he directly interrupted him, and said: "I'm not short of this money, if you really think it's too precious, why don't you introduce me to the Tempest Mercenary and the Gene Enhancement Liquid in detail, by the way, and the entire Falcon Town and the mutated monsters..."
Xi Lin gratefully glanced at the bread and secondary water in front of him, nodded, and told Zhao Li everything he knew.
Don't think that Shirin is just a child who is less than ten years old and is not sensible, not to mention that there are many people in Africa who go to war with AK-47s or something, and there are no schools or education in this wasteland, at least in Falcon Town.
Children like Shirin run around in Falcon Town all day long, like which mercenary teams are powerful, what is a genetic enhancement liquid or something, everything is clear, after all, the children in the wasteland, most of the future life they hope for is just "to become an evolutionary, to become a powerful mercenary, to earn a lot of bottle caps, to be able to take Radiant on a regular basis, to taste what it is like to taste first-class water..." Etcetera.
In this way, Zhao Li kept an eye on the Davide Mercenary Center across the street, while quietly listening to what Shirin wanted him to tell about Falcon Town, Tempest Mercenaries, Gene Enhancement Liquid, and other knowledge about the wasteland...
Even though Schilling is still just a child, some opinions and knowledge may not be correct and one-sided, but for Zhao Li, who is blinded, it is very sufficient, especially since he still has the memory of a computer engineer in the golden age before the war, and can clearly compare the development differences between the pre-war and post-war eras.
“··· Uncle, I've heard some mercenaries say that our Falcon Town is actually just a small place, and further afield, there are large cities that can produce Radika and other supplies, and we are too close to the ruins of Bosti City, and we are always under constant attack by monsters..."
Shi Lin never ate the piece of black bread in front of him, and the glass of second-level water was only a small sip.
On the street outside the shop... The wind at night is getting stronger and stronger, and at the same time, the wind is mixed with flying sand and rocks - this is the sequelae of the nuclear war two hundred years ago, the plants on the entire wasteland are already very scarce, and the plants that can still exist now are all mutated new varieties, and the whole land has long begun to desertify, and from time to time there will be a sandstorm ...
Tick Toot - Tick Tick Tick –
At that moment, a quick, shrivelling, and loud sound—something like an air raid siren—sounded from all over Falcon Town, even drowning out the whining wind of the sandstorm.
"What's the situation?"
Zhao Li stood up immediately.
"It's an attack alarm, uncle, there must be a monster attacking Falcon Town!"
The little boy Shirin also stood up, with some panic on his face.
It's normal to be attacked by monsters.,Falcon Town has long been used to it.,But a general attack will never sound the alarm.,Unless there are a lot of monsters coming.,Or the situation is a little special...
Zhao Li looked around, only to see that as the alarm sounded, the owner of the small shop where he was now had already taken out a spear and began to load, and the mercenary center opposite, the door was opened, and a large number of mercenaries who were drinking and chatting also rushed out.
Zhao Li's target, the Tempest mercenary with the genetic enhancement solution, also ran out of the mercenary center, and the Benson leader carried a small freezer, got into a car at the door with his teammates, and galloped away.
On the other side, in the building belonging to the headquarters of the Davide Company, a group of soldiers wearing gray Davide Company uniforms also ran out with guns, climbed into the nearest vehicle, and headed towards the edge of the town.
Zhao Li even saw a few pickup trucks driven out of the garage of Davide's company, carrying something that looked like a bulky robot - this was power armor!
"Shirin, you stay here, I'm going to take a look!"
Zhao Li casually explained, and directly rushed out of the shop and entered the wind and sand flying in the sky.
At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was attracted by the alarm at this time, Zhao left his hand and directly stuffed the cloth bag with the bottle cap and the heavy power armor special hand cannon "Scorching Sun Projectile" into the golden dragon claw.
