Chapter 1: Advent... Wasteland?
Schutte landed at great speed,
"Ahhhhh——!h
He slammed straight into the surface, erupting with rubble and furious smoke.
Then, unscathed, he stood up, and the surface of his body was covered with a soft halo of light, which was the protection of the gods, and even the smoke and dust could not get close.
He crawled out of the crater he had just made and found himself landing in a wooded field.
The trees were not dense, it seemed to be on a hillside, and Schutt looked around and took a deep breath, the fresh air rushing into his lungs with the scent of plants and mist.
It's not the stale and dirty air of the office. I'm standing in the wilderness, the air is fresh, the wind is mild, the sun is shining, I'm... Free.
Eventually, Schutt had a real sense that he had crossed the story.
Next... The first thing to do is to find a place where humans live, Schutt thought as he walked towards the heights.
Standing on the ridge, it is condescending, and the surrounding terrain is in full view, but there is no trace of human settlement.
Suddenly, a ball of light fell from the sky and hung in front of Schutte.
"This is..."
The ball of light quickly burrowed into Shute's body and vanished.
[Authentication passed]
[Host Bind]
[Congratulations to the host for accessing the "Portable Technology Armed System"]
[This system is designed to help the host survive in the perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland]
[Please explore the wasteland and rebuild human civilization]
A series of prompts came to mind, and Schutte's confidence soared.
That's right, that's the one, right! That one!
The most trusted golden finger of all traversers, with it, it is about equal to the invincible system in the world!
But... It's a bit unfortunate that I've been sent to the wasteland... Wait a minute? Wasteland?
Shute looked around again.
Look at this blue sky! White clouds! Trees! Castle peak! This wasteland is too well managed, right?
[Preliminary scan of environmental security is underway]
[Radiation Level: Very Low]
[Air Quality: Very High]
[Congratulations to the host for landing in a safe area that has not yet been baptized by the cobalt bomb]
So that's the case, Shute nodded in satisfaction, great, he didn't start the game and entered the nightmare difficulty, it seems that he can make sure that he is safe before starting to explore around.
[The system is loaded, start running the bootloader]
[Hello host, the "Portable Technology Armament System" is equipped with high-speed 3D printing function, which can provide a large number of military weapons for the host at any time]
[Please collect the right amount of carbon to demonstrate the printing function]
Carbon?
Shute thought for a moment, and his eyes fell on the tree next to him - this should be considered carbon, right?
"If you want to get rich, you must first build a tree"
However, the branch was surprisingly resilient, and Schutt used all his strength to barely pluck one down.
Holding the branch in his hand and submitting it to the system, the branch is slowly wrapped in a halo of light, which gradually dissipates as if it has been weathered.
[Unlocked Recipe "Carbon Nanoknife"]
[Carbon nanoknife: the crystallization of modern industry, cold, sharp, portable, and always reliable first choice when in trouble]
[Please select to print a carbon nanoknife in the system interface]
Like a beginner's tutorial in the game, the system guides Schutte through the step-by-step operation, and then...
A carbon nanoknife starts from the hilt and is made out of nothing in Schutte's hands.
Shute tried to swing the dagger a few times, and noticed that it was quite light.
"It's so light! It's black technology! ”
Schutt resisted the urge to use his fingers to verify the sharpness of the blade, and turned his head to aim the tip of the knife at the tree next to him.
In a few clean strokes, only the bare trunk of a small tree remains, and the tough plant, which used to be quite laborious to break a branch, is no different from grass mustard in front of the carbon nanoknife with a sharpness of atomic level.
Schutte picks up a few scattered branches on the ground and hands them all over to the system to disassemble and store.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the onboarding session]
[Get Reward: Starter Pack]
[Unlocked Weapon "Pistol"]
[Unlocked Recipe "Desert Eagle"]
[Pistol-Desert Eagle: A classic and retro weapon, which once shined on the battlefield of ancient humans, after a long time, its internal mechanical structure is no longer examinable, but we imitated its shape one by one, eliminating the redundant reloading and ammunition links, so that it can get rid of the limitation of the amount of ammunition in the magazine, and take you back to that period of history]
[Unlocked Recipe "M1917 Smith & Wiesen"]
[Pistol-M1917 Smith & Wesson: One of the oldest and most classic revolver pistols, its great power has made it a favorite of cowboys in the legendary West, in order to restore the original use experience, a special manual reload mechanism is used to help you crash through the wilderness!] ]
After Shute unlocked the weapon, he couldn't wait to print out two guns, one for each of them, and the heavy feeling made him feel more secure.
After a few pretentious gestures, Schutte immediately realized a serious problem:
He doesn't know how to use a gun at all.
A gun is not a stick, and without professional training, you can't even aim.
Shute thought for a moment, put a gun in his pocket, held it with both hands, stood still on his feet, and aimed at a branch not far away.
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire startled the birds in the forest, but the branch that had just been aimed at was unscathed—he missed
Shute raised his gun again and aimed, "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Several shots were fired in quick succession, and the huge recoil caused Schutte to take a few steps back and fall to the ground. However, he still didn't shoot a single shot, and all the bullets hit the other branches, and several broken branches fell from the air, but the one he was aiming at only shook slightly, as if to mock Schutt's lame shooting skills.
Schutte decided to move to a closer target.
Shot missed.
A closer target.
Shot missed.
Ten steps away from the target.
Good! Another tree right in the middle!
Belch...
Shute puts down his gun in frustration, it seems that the experience of killing all sides in a shooter doesn't really make people learn to shoot.
Forget it, this kind of thing needs to be practiced slowly, and now it is more important to find a gathering place for humans, and it is not safe to stay in such a wild place at all.
Although there are no traces of human settlements, the "road" at the foot of the mountain is very obvious that only human beings need, and if you follow the road, you should be able to find people.
Schutte immediately walked briskly down the mountain...
[Unexpected Circumstances Detected: Missing Weapon]
["Carbon Nanoknife" is 124 meters away from the host, is it recovered?] ]
Oops, I was so excited to get my pistol that I forgot about the knife. Schutte immediately recovered the carbon nanoknife through the system.
The carbon nanoknife did not appear in Schutte's hands, but turned into carbon and returned to the system.
"This is a useful function, with the recovery function, you are not afraid of losing the weapon" Shute nodded happily, "The system adds one point." ”
Schutte took a few steps...
[Unknown plant detected, judged to be a berry]
[Non-toxic, edible]
[Named "Red Berry", can be changed in settings]
A red berry that has been highlighted appears in Schutte's field of vision, just like the game interface.
"That's a good feature." Schutte became more and more satisfied, "The system adds one point. ”
"It's so sour!" Schutt held back from spitting out the berries, "But I'm afraid that the food that can be eaten in the wasteland will be precious and cannot be wasted." ”
Schutt plucked a few berries and put them in his pocket.
[Red berries detected]
Another berry appeared in Schutt's field of vision
"Berries again? That's also too lucky. ”
[detected...]
[detected...]
[detected...]
"No, how can this wasteland be so rich?"
Berries stuffed two pockets.
Schutte moved on
[Detected...
"It's berries again, don't pick it up this time"
[Unknown organism detected, possibly radiation variant]
