Chapter 136: Luminous Fungi (Subscription Requested)

After the outbreak of nuclear war, the whole world was shrouded in radioactive fallout, and the rain washed these highly radioactive materials into rivers and oceans, where they continued to sink and accumulate, turning the waters that nourished human civilization into a huge radioactive source.

Today, over the past 100 years, the radioactivity index of the seawater environment is much higher than that of the terrestrial environment.

The land world has produced a large number of mutated creatures under the influence of radioactive materials, such as radiated chickens, mutated two-headed cows, mutated two-headed deer, radiant scorpions, death claws, etc., and there are also mutated creatures in the marine world, with more types and greater mutations, such as mirelurks, crawling shrimp, Ankang monsters, blue dolphins, big-headed salmon, etc.

Just as the meat of mirelurk crabs has a relatively low radiation level and can be eaten in large quantities, there are also several large fish in the deep sea with low levels of radioactive substances in certain parts of the body, such as green-boned sharks, pearl squid, and overlord whales.

Even if the meat of blue dolphins has a lower concentration of radioactive substances than the meat of a large proportion of marine fish, the degree is very limited, far from being comparable to marine organisms such as mirelurk crabs and pearl squid, which is an important reason why Maxim's Canning Factory uses it as the main ingredient to produce canned marine fish.

Unless the Shinrikyo group of lunatics and the innate radiation resistant wasteland dwellers are not allowed to eat large quantities of the flesh of the Blue Dolphin.

However, there are no absolutes.

As the old saying goes------ whatever is highly poisonous, there must be an antidote within seven steps. To some extent, it is also applicable to wasteland worlds where the radiation index exceeds the standard.

Before the nuclear war, there was a fungus with strong radiation resistance living in the land world, and after the nuclear war, this fungus underwent an evolutionary reaction, and the radiation resistance was further strengthened.

The fungus emits bluish-white fluorescence, and the juice in the body helps the body resist radiation...... Although the effect is not as strong as that of Xiaoxingning injection.

The most common method of use of this fungus by the inhabitants of the wasteland is to chop up the fungus and stem and dry it, and then pickle it into a daily pickle, and the liquid inside is used to treat highly radioactive meat.

From its use, it can be seen that the value of luminescent fungus is very high, but there is no free lunch in the world, and the higher the value of something, the higher the risk that accompanies it most of the time. Luminescent fungi tend to live in dark tides with high levels of radioactive contamination, and even the most experienced bounty hunters are reluctant to risk their lives.

Judging from the faint glow on the surface of the blue dolphin jerky sold at that shop, it was a meat substance that had been treated with glowing fungal body fluids, and it was not surprising that the price was so high.

Zang Feng noticed the change in Tang Yan's expression, looked at the shop and said, "Xu Ji Butcher's Shop is very famous in the catch market, and many scavengers and merchants in Gem City will stock up on some of their family's dried meat for their journey. ”

Tang Yan asked curiously, "Why don't they open a branch in the bazaar in Gem City?" The benefits must be better than here. ”

"You're going to ask the boat boss about this......"

Tang Yan shrugged his shoulders and didn't take Zang Feng's words to heart.

As a heroic figure who controls the production activities of Toshima and the surrounding waters, the ship boss naturally wants to protect his own interests. Opening a branch in the Gem City Market will certainly bring more benefits, but in the long run, it will seriously affect the prosperity of the Toshima Catch Market.

Just as a company going public can raise a large amount of social funds and bring greater development vitality to the enterprise, it is also equivalent to opening a back door for people or organizations with malicious intentions to take advantage of.

Rather than being involved in the hegemony of the peninsula, the ship boss chose to keep his own door and be an emperor of the sea.

Tang Yan and Zang Feng continued to move forward, while asking about the price of common and edible marine fish, and comparing it with the delivery price offered by the boat boss.

According to the price paid by Huang Lei at Shi Meixin Cannery, the retail price of the same species of marine fish is much lower than that of the catch market, and if the price of the new price offered by the boat boss is much higher than the retail price of the catch market.

"What are you going to do?"

Tang Yan looked at Zang Feng's side face, and then looked at the radio tower standing in the middle of the street, and a chilling smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

sho(pc_middle);

"The front is Xiandaoju, wait for Gao Kai to come back, and you can start after confirming the location of the salvage ship."

Zang Feng glanced at him from the corner of his eye: "Are you sure you want to come hard?" ”

"I'm sure." Tang Yan replied without hesitation, he didn't have the time and mood to play yin with the boss of the ship, forcing him to back down and compromise, and solving it by force would save time and effort and earn reward points, so it was naturally the highest priority.

Just as Zang Feng pushed aside a man in front of him and was about to enter the Immortal Island Residence, he suddenly heard a voice full of banter and ridicule coming from the side.

"Look who's coming, if I'm not mistaken, it's not the rising star of Gem City...... What's it called? Oh yes, Tang Yan, Deputy Captain Tang of the Pandaren Legion. ”

The two of them stopped and followed the prestige.

The man was bald, and his skin was dark and dry because of the more activities at sea, but the most conspicuous place was the two pleasing handfuls of nose hair above the mouth and under the nostrils.

He only said Tang Yan's name, and Zang Feng's name was not mentioned.

Hearing the shouts of the bald head, the people walking on the street stopped one after another and looked at Tang Yan and Zang Feng.

The two of them came here wearing Reaper armor, and they didn't intend to hide their identities, so it was naturally reasonable for them to be recognized by someone with a heart.

I am afraid that they had already attracted the attention of the crew when they boarded the ship in the coastal area.

With the rapid dispersal of people and the sound of chaotic footsteps, four armed soldiers armed with Type 95 assault rifles rushed out from the side, surrounding Tang Yan and Zang Feng.

"Is this your hospitality?" Tang Yan looked at the man and said.

The bald head shook his finger and walked over: "The old man has good wine, and the jackal has a shotgun." ”

"Oh?" Tang Yan's eyes narrowed tighter and tighter.

He planned not to wait for Gao Kai to come back before he did it, this bald head with a bit of status was more suitable to be the object of his sacrifice than to use the radio tower to vent the fire.

He didn't even need to make eye contact, Zang Feng turned sideways slightly, and his gaze fell on the soldier holding the gun behind him.

The scavengers with a keen sense of smell had already begun to retreat towards the outskirts of the city, and only a few of the big-hearted ones remained in place with a desire to see the excitement.

Just as the fuse of the war was about to be ignited, a figure rushed out of the crowd and cut into the middle of Tang Yan and the bald head.

The confrontation was broken by a sudden change.

Tang Yan was slightly stunned when he saw the visitor, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and his pupils bloomed with a brilliance.

Also showing a similar expression was Zang Feng.

It's not that the person who came is kind and old, it's really that the person's appearance is impressive.
