Chapter 011: Peacock
"How is that possible? The branches are useless, is it because the root system of the plant has the function of protecting against radiation? Anxious, Linciso ran back to digging with a dagger, silently praying that he would soon find a solution to the problem.
Linciso's eyebrows and hair gradually turned yellow, and then her skin festered in large areas, and the earth ring star was heaven compared to this place. Soon, the dagger touched the root system, but it was no different from the texture of the branch. "No, we have to uproot the whole plant and see what's weird." ”
After digging for a long time, Linciso looked suspicious and picked up a few green objects, which looked like eggshell fragments of animals instead of rocks.
This is the only chance, Lin Xiso clenched the green fragments, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his eyes lit up: "Great, it works!" ”
Next, Lin Xisuo used both hands and feet, climbed the rock wall, found a bush and dug it up again, and turned back after half a day's work. Another fragment was found, but it was very small.
Linciso was very smart, and when he looked at the ecology nearby, he thought to himself, "Is it that the shrubs are growing more vigorously?" So the larger the volume of hidden fragments? Give it a try and find out. ”
I found three bushes next to each other and dug them up in one go, and the harvest was not bad. Lifting half of the well-preserved green eggshell and looking at it again and again, this thing was hard and had a faint earthy scent, and the creature that broke out of the shell must have great strength.
Linciso took a deep breath of the hot air, feeling much lighter than before, and the loss of moisture was noticeably slower.
What should have been happy, but Linciso was worried. It is important to know that the creatures born in the radiation environment are usually extreme and aggressive, and this is not the gerbils and poisonous scorpions of the earth ring, and the hope of survival is extremely slim in the event of encounter.
Shaking his head, Linciso decided not to think about these issues for now, carefully put away the green eggshell, and set out on the journey.
After walking for more than 30 kilometers, I didn't even see a single figure, and it seems that the survivors are not weak, and the work of digging eggshells is actually lagging behind.
Spotting the direction, he had just jumped off the stone wall when someone suddenly shouted behind him: "Boss, it's the boss, help!" ”
Lin Xiso turned to look, only to see the peacock's face shriveled to the ground, this guy looked miserable, most of his hair was falling out, the tattoos on his face were festering, his legs seemed to be broken, and his eyes showed fear and longing for life.
"You have a wound in the leg and have been attacked?"
"Yes, if people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water. Remember the red-haired imp in the water oasis when you were in the barn? He sneaked up while I was drinking and snatched my water bladder. Dehydration is too fast in this hellish place, and water must be replenished all the time, so whoever has a big fist will have to live. It's been more than half an hour, and no one in the past has paid attention to me, so please do well, take me with you! The peacock's face begged pitifully.
"Take it, you'll feel better with it. If your leg doesn't hurt, it's all well said. But it's dangerous to put too much burden on your back. What would you do if it were you? ”
The peacock took the green fragments with a sluggish face, his chest rose and fell violently, there was anger, fear, frustration, all kinds of emotions mixed together, and he shouted hysterically: "Why is it not you who died, but me?" I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced! ”
Lin Xisuo lowered his head, although he was used to seeing life and death during this time, but there was still a distance from insensitivity and indifference, and he could not truly ignore it.
The peacock face struggled to straighten up, and cried: "You're right, I wouldn't have carried the burden with me, and I could die anytime and anywhere in front." The Star Thief is cultivating the Devil, so it will be subverted by the Devil as well. I curse, curse Red Storm and all people will not die well. I hope you live and avenge me one day. ”
"I'm sorry, Peacock Face, I can't help you much. There's a water bladder here, but I've written down your words. ”
Lin Xisuo bent down and put the water bladder, he didn't owe anything to the peacock face, maybe because no one had ever called him boss, so with an inexplicable emotion.
"Wait, there is something entrusted to you, it is a talisman that has been passed down from ancient times in our Peacock Oasis, it is said that there is a shocking secret hidden in it, I hope it will bring you good luck."
Before the words fell, a delicate talisman was thrown from the peacock's face, which was a winged peacock made of unknown metal. In fact, Linciso has never seen a peacock, but has only seen holographic pictures from the light brain, and knows that there is such an ornamental bird, which seems to be spread from the human home planet, which is extremely precious.
"Thanks, I'm probably the last one, if you have anything else to say, just explain!" Linciso said heavily.
Peacock Face nodded and said, "Although I don't know what your name is, I think you are very strong." It's certainly not all luck to be able to spot this green radiation-resistant substance, and it's not uncommon to give it away easily. Take the water bladder away! You need to be hydrated more than I do. ”
"My name is Linsiso and I'm from Shipwreck Village. You don't have to worry about water bladders. Compared to our parents, after all, we have walked out of the earth ring, and they will be proud of you, peacock face! Linciso tried to comfort the other as much as she could.
"Hahaha, yes! So many people want to leave the ring, and I've done it. There is still a long road ahead, and every minute and second is precious, thank you for being with me for so long. In fact, people of the same clan are not willing to lend a hand, and you have done your duty, it is time to separate, let's go! ”
Sighing, Linciso resisted the impulse, after all, he was too weak to do anything about this situation.
As soon as he walked out two hundred meters, suddenly there was an explosion behind him, and the ground shook violently. Lin Xiso dodged and rushed back, only to see that the ground was covered with blood and the water bladder had been thrown into the distance.
Standing for a long time, Lin Xisuo clutched the peacock talisman tightly, and the sound of the explosion just now still sounded in his mind, and he couldn't adapt for a while.
The teenager from the Peacock Oasis was unwilling to accept handouts at the end of his life, or rather wanted to save more opportunities, so he detonated the electronic lock on his ankle and died in this tragic way.
"Star thief, star thief, what are you going to do? If this continues, not to mention the 1 in 10 survival rate, even one percent is already a miracle. Someday, someday, I'm going to avenge the suffering of Peacock Face and so many of the Earthring Boys. Red Storm, since you have shown me the side of the universe, let me be strong! Strong enough to destroy you. ”
At this moment, Lin Xisuo's eyes burned with strong fighting spirit, five years of self-improvement life forged an iron will, the more he faced the difficulties, the more he could stimulate his extraordinary potential.
The surrounding aura was slightly twisted, and if there was a device to test mental strength nearby, it would be found that the mental state of the black-haired boy had quietly undergone a earth-shaking change, and at the same time, various physiological functions were also rising slightly.
Since human evolution, there have always been some special beings, and after genetic fine-tuning, Linciso has taken a crucial step in a certain direction.
"Whoosh" Lin Xisuo picked up the water bladder, and the wind was speeding under his feet, and a cloud of dust and smoke was raised behind him, and he disappeared around the corner in a few breaths.
Who knows what's going on here in the daylight?
All the way to the west, the first three days were relatively peaceful, and on the fourth day, I saw a huge beast rushing out of the river in the distance, and in a short time killed a group of teenagers who were traveling together.
Because the road was relatively calm, many people took it lightly, and this time they learned a profound lesson, at the cost of their lives.
In fact, Linciso was not the only one who discovered a way to protect against radiation, as the teenagers from the large oases also received a formal education. At the very least, it feels better near the bushes, and it is still easy to notice. However, even if you dig up the green eggshell, you still can't prevent the decline of body function, so wiping your body with clean water will help a lot.
"It's miserable! It turned out that the indigenous creatures were dormant in the water, and more than 50 people were gone. ”
Just now, I could see very clearly that the beast looked like a flattened little house, with terrifying barbs on its back, its mouth in the shape of an eagle's hook, and its eyes as bright as two searchlights.
"Avoiding the riverbank should reduce the risk, right?" Lin Xiso thought so, and did not slow down to bypass the area where the group of teenagers had been ambushed just now, and ran wildly forward.
"Time, time is running out, if the map in your memory is divided into ten equal parts, then the area you have walked through only accounts for a little more than thirty and a half, and it is obviously a little behind." Lin Xisuo secretly cheered himself up, and calculated clearly in his heart: "The problem of backwardness is easy to solve, just speed up." Worryingly, the effects of radiation are being felt. And the map in my memory has a vague impression of several locations, which is the most fatal hidden danger. Once you take the wrong route, you have to turn back and look for it again, and the difficulty can be imagined. ”
The terrain in the rift valley is complex and wide enough, so many people scattered into it, and there was not a single figure for a long time.
Crossing a low-lying terrain, a dense "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and Lin Xisuo's heart tightened, and there was an abnormality at this time, which meant trouble.
Sure enough, a group of strange-shaped proboscis flying insects approached quickly, and the flying insects were followed by a huge colorful beast.
Run! No matter how fast you run, human beings are always afraid of the unknown, and Linciso is no exception.
Unfortunately, the two legs are no match for the wings, and the proboscis flies their flapping flapped their fluffy wings to get closer, and they are not interested in human flesh. But don't forget, there's a beast behind it.
"Woohoo" The colorful beast opened its mouth, and Linciso's body suddenly paused in the rush, and then flew backwards.
"Oh my god, is this a mouth? It's a super vacuum cleaner. Linciso quickly grabbed the rock, and his body was half-hung in the air, and none of the flying insects were spared, and all of them went into the beast's mouth.
The suction lasts for a short time, but fortunately, the reaction speed is not slow, and the boulder is tightly buckled, otherwise it will have to follow in the footsteps of the proboscis flying insects.
The beast was clearly not satisfied with the little insect it had eaten, and the hole in its neck squeezed out the stone it had sucked into, and it was ready to open its mouth again.
Linciso took a deep breath and jumped out, turned around and ran towards the riverbank. I murmured in my heart, "I hope that giant beast is still in the river, and the domain concept is strong." Only when the two beasts fight each other can there be a glimmer of life. ”
