Chapter 151: Desert Radiant Beast

Yang Qian landed steadily on the ground, and the black wings behind him fluttered a few times before gradually becoming smaller and disappearing into his back again, if it weren't for the two big holes in the clothes on his back, Yang Qian himself couldn't believe that he actually had the ability to fly.

The rapid flight that pierced the air just now, the speed reached at least 100 kilometers per hour, that is to say, in just half an hour's flight, Yang Qian crossed the desert area of 50 kilometers, which was completely impossible to do before, which also means that he was in the edge of Lop Nur before, and at this time he has gradually penetrated into the hinterland of Lop Nur.

Yang Qian could feel a slight increase in the amount of nuclear radiation in the air, indicating that Yang Qian's eastward route would likely pass through the central area of the Lop Nur nuclear weapons test.

On October 16, 1964, China successfully tested its first atomic bomb in the Lop Nur area.

On June 17, 1967, China's first hydrogen bomb was successfully exploded in Lop Nur.

Between 1964 and 1996, Lop Nur conducted a total of 45 nuclear tests, 23 of which were atmospheric nuclear tests.

Since 1964, Lop Nur has conducted dozens of nuclear weapons tests, and even after nearly half a century, the traces of nuclear weapons tests have not completely dissipated.

There is still a slight amount of radiation around the Lop Nur nuclear warhead, the hydrogen warhead landing site and its mid-air, the closer to the center of the nuclear explosion, the heavier the dose of nuclear radiation, even if the nuclear radiation becomes very slight, but it is still fatal to ordinary people, and the impact of nuclear radiation has not completely dissipated, and this is another reason why Lop Nur is called the "Sea of Death".

Although after the Gene Divine Tree absorbed nuclear radiation, even Yang Qian's ability to resist radiation had made considerable progress, and Yang Qian was not afraid of a small dose of nuclear radiation, but Yang Qian still did not dare to go deep into Lop Nur, and now he only wanted to leave this Death Desert earlier, so there was no reason to go to the core area of Lop Nur to find out.

Originally, Yang Qian had to rely on two legs to walk through the entire Taklamakan Desert, and it was impossible to walk without a month, if he really walked on two legs, Yang Qian would have died of dehydration even if he was not killed by the mutant beasts dormant in the desert.

But now it is different, the acquisition of flying ability has made Yang Qian's speed increase suddenly, in the past, it may take an hour to complete the journey, but now relying on flying I am afraid that it will not take a few minutes to fly, the speed in the past is as slow as a turtle crawling, and now the speed is as fast as the wind.

Yang Qian spread his wings again, kicked his legs and flapped his wings and then flew into the sky, this time Yang Qian did not try his best to fly, but maintained a relatively stable speed in the desert and galloped over, just like a marathon participant, it is useless to take the lead in a momentary speed, the important thing for a long-distance run is to maintain speed.

Although the short burst can make Yang Qian's speed climb to an incredible level, but the consumption of physical strength is also huge, although Yang Qian has the ability to fly, the chance of surviving in the desert has greatly increased, but the maintenance of his own strength is still very important, because he doesn't know what danger is waiting for him ahead, even if he can fly, it doesn't mean that the road ahead is smooth.

The black scorpion, mutant sand lizard, and mutant spider of love made Yang Qian know what a crisis was hidden under this calm and almost dead desert, and every time he fought with the desert mutant beast before, if Yang Qian had a trace of contempt, maybe the current Yang Qian would not be so complete.

Feeling the slight dose of nuclear radiation in the air, Yang Qian understood that he had entered the nuclear weapons test area in Lop Nur at this moment, Yang Qian's body already had a certain resistance to nuclear radiation, although he felt a slight tingling sensation on his skin, but there was no rough, so Yang Qian did not plan to go around but still flew in a straight line.

Behind a sand dune, there was a sudden sound of "rustling", and then a mutant gerbil covered with brown fur and a crazy look in its gray-white eyes lowered its body behind the dune, a mutant gerbil the size of a domestic cat looked terrifying, it poked out its furry head and stared at the sky in the distance, and suddenly a black shadow appeared at the junction of heaven and earth, this black shadow was very small as soon as it appeared, and it suddenly enlarged in the blink of an eye, it was Yang Qian who flew slowly.

As soon as Yang Qian flew to this area, he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if there was some danger ahead, his sharp eyes swept over the sand under him, and after finding that there was no abnormal phenomenon, he secretly wondered if he felt wrong.

Just as Yang Qian's wings were about to fly over a towering sand dune, the mutant gerbil "Woo", which had long been hidden behind the back of the dune, jumped up, and its tough muscles gave it a strong bounce power, even on the soft sand, the mutant gerbil still jumped towards Yang Qian like a rocket flying straight into the sky.

Yang Qian, who noticed that there seemed to be something more in front of him, immediately turned his head, and after seeing that it was a hideous mutant gerbil, Yang Qian's frightened figure trembled, and quickly stopped his figure, and in the next moment, the mutant gerbil's sharp claws grabbed towards Yang Qian's front door.

At this time, Yang Qian's battle instinct, which had been honed countless times between life and death, came in handy, almost when the claws of the mutant gerbil were about to touch Yang Qian, Yang Qian manipulated the air without thinking about it, and clenched his palms into a fist and punched the flying mutant gerbil into a volley.

"Poh...... Creak! ”

Seeing that the mutant gerbil was about to catch Yang Qian, but the suddenly activated air cannon ruthlessly bombarded the mutant gerbil's body, and the mutant gerbil only had time to let out a miserable scream, and then exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air under Yang Qian's stunned expression, and the mutant gerbil that was blown up by Yang Qian's punch turned into countless pieces and scattered, and a blood rain seemed to fall in mid-air.

In the next second, dozens of other mutant gerbils hiding behind the sand dunes also jumped up and pounced towards Yang Qian, this time Yang Qian, who was aware of it in advance, did not panic, and brazenly punched the mutant gerbils that came one by one.

Yang Qian waved his hand to disperse the pieces of flesh and blood that were coming straight towards him, and the falling pieces of flesh fell on the hot sand, and then the whole desert seemed to come to life, and one by one the mutated gerbils hiding under the sand came out, and pounced on the flesh of their companions like lightning, and in just a few seconds, forty or fifty mutated gerbils appeared on the sand under Yang Qian competing for the corpses of their kind.

In just a few seconds, the corpses of more than a dozen gerbils were devoured by their kind, and even the blood-stained sand was swallowed, and the mutant gerbils raised their two forelimbs and squeaked at Yang Qian, who was stuck in mid-air, Yang Qian just wanted to try to tame them, and he felt the violent and chaotic mental fluctuations.

"What a terrible desert!"

With this sneak attack experience, Yang Qian became more and more cautious during the next flight, and even the flight altitude rose by dozens of meters, he didn't want to be attacked by unknown creatures again.

During the next flight, Yang Qian saw all kinds of creatures in the desert, but the mutant beasts in the nuclear radiation area were more violent than ordinary mutant beasts, and they were extremely hungry even if they were of the same kind would fight and devour each other, and the mutant beasts affected by nuclear radiation might be more appropriate to call them radiation beasts, and they only had the most primitive food left in their minds**, which were more violent than zombies and more difficult to tame.

Whenever Yang Qian flew past a group of radiant beasts, he would always lead them to chase them collectively, but with Yang Qian's speed, as long as he gently instigated his wings, it was enough to throw them far away.

Yang Qian took out a first-order brain crystal from his pocket and put it under it, and the gentle evolutionary energy wandered in his body, replenishing the energy consumed by Yang Qian's flight for several hours, and the original feeling of weakness in his body gradually disappeared with the swallowing of the brain crystal, and his body was once again filled with power as if he could move mountains and seas.

The Taklamakan Desert is about a thousand kilometers long from east to west, if Yang Qian maintains a flight speed of forty kilometers per hour, it will only take more than two days to cross the entire Taklamakan Desert, and there are still some brain crystals in his pocket, and the energy of one brain crystal is enough to supplement the energy consumption of Yang Qian's flight of 100 kilometers, Yang Qian seems to have seen the scene of himself leaving the desert.

Maybe it won't take another day, Yang Qian can leave this dangerous desert smoothly, the initial flight was exciting, but after more than six hours of continuous flight, the excitement gradually subsided, just as he was planning the next step after leaving the desert, the sudden appearance of the scene in his sight made Yang Qian's expression move, he looked at a convoy that suddenly appeared on the sand in the distance in front of him.

"There's actually a human here!"

Yang Qian hurriedly lowered the flight altitude, found a sand pit and looked at the convoy in surprise, Yang Qian picked up the Type 88 sniper rifle, and observed the convoy through the mechanical sight attached to the gun, Yang Qian was at least ten kilometers away from the convoy in a straight line, which was far beyond the range of the Type 88 sniper rifle, of course, Yang Qian's purpose was not to snipe them, just to observe.

Although the sniper scope has magnified the target scene several times, the convoy still looks very small, but with Yang Qian's eyesight, the composition of the convoy can be vaguely seen, the convoy in the sniper scope is composed of five military trucks, a large fuel tanker, and a ZSL92 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, which looks like it should be a remnant army after the apocalypse, and the soldiers on the truck are wearing orange radiation and chemical protection suits.

"It's actually an army, it seems that I'm not far from the edge of the desert, no matter what this army is entering the Taklamakan Desert for, it means that I'm not far from the edge of the desert."

It is naturally a joy to see humans in the desert where birds don't, but Yang Qian didn't rush forward to greet them, if this is how to explain to them his pair of black and beautiful wings, how to explain that he can walk around and run around in the desert without wearing protective clothing, I am afraid that when the time comes, Yang Qian will be greeted by a pair of eyes looking at monsters and a series of bullets.
