Chapter 2: Father and Son in the Last Days

Death is the final destination of life, and there is a time when everything withers, and perhaps only the master in the Ming Ming is the eternal existence. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

2227, 138 years after the "Great Doomsday". 138 years ago, the bright light of nuclear destruction destroyed more than 80% of human civilization, and this once glorious planet has long since become a dead place.

No matter how splendid a civilization is, there will be a day when it will end.

Most of the humans who were once spirits have been killed by weapons of their own making, and the rest of humanity has gathered to build new cities around the world, not so much cities, but most of them are better described as shelters.

Humanity has paid the price for their own hubris and arrogance......

We are not afraid of death, we are afraid of living like death......

Dark clouds were rolling in the sky, the wind was howling across the sandy ground, and there were no plants to be seen, and you couldn't see anything a little farther away when you walked in such a place.

Only the dilapidated houses on the ground and the occasional black protruding steel bars prove that this is a city where humans lived before.

All kinds of mutated creatures after the nuclear explosion are infested in the ruins, and the traces left by humans are the broken bones, or only the hunters......

Eastern Continent, Vault 32......

"Changqing, Dad is back. This time I went out hunting and my father collected a lot of good things, two second-level crystal nuclei, seven first-level crystal nuclei! This time I was lucky, one of them was a humanoid mutant, and I found an alloy short sword from the mutant's body. Hahahaha, I don't know which unlucky ghost went out and mutated during this time. ”

The closed rusty iron door was opened, and in came a middle-aged man with a beard, dressed in a shabby military uniform, with a pair of black gloves, short hair that he should have cut haphazardly, and some blood stains on his dusty face that had not yet been wiped off.

In the decades after the atomic explosion, a large number of organisms have mutated genes due to excessive nuclear radiation, and all kinds of mutated organisms have appeared all over the world, the most typical of which is the zombies that have been mutated from humans at the beginning......

Slowly surviving human beings are afraid to find that with the passage of time and the fight between mutant creatures, some mutant creatures can actually produce self-evolution! There are even legends that some people have seen the legendary --- dragon!

"This time it will definitely be sold for a good price, and I can have a good meal!"

The middle-aged man's name was Xu Yiming, and he walked to a bed made of various wooden boards, on which lay a craggy boy, about eleven or twelve years old.

At the head of the bed were some nutritional pills and muddy water that were supposed to be used to satisfy the little boy's hunger.

Xu Yiming stroked the boy's forehead lightly, "Your mother left early, Dad is useless, he can't let you live a good life, you wait, Dad will definitely find a way to cure your illness!"

The little boy's name is Xu Changqing, he had a severe cold when he was eight years old, and it was not a serious illness originally, as long as he was hospitalized, there would be no major problems, but in the environment of the last days, medicine has become extremely precious.

That time, Xu Changqing's parents ventured out to search for items in the ruins of the city during the mutation frenzy in order to raise money for his treatment, and his mother also died from that outing.

Although Xu Changqing was later sent to the hospital for treatment, he missed the best time for treatment, and although his life was saved, his legs lost his intuition......

In order to deal with the mutated creatures that are getting stronger and stronger, the surviving human beings have united to form a unified government, and gathered the surviving scientists to develop genetic enhancers that can strengthen the functions of the human body through the research of the mutated creatures, which are mainly used to supply the military, but a small part of them have fallen to the civilian population, and the price is quite expensive. A bottle costs hundreds of thousands, which is too expensive for ordinary people.

This gene enhancer is a kind of agent that activates human potential, after the first use, it can greatly activate the potential genes of human beings, greatly strengthen the functions of the human body, such as multiplying the strength, speeding up the reaction speed, increasing endurance, ordinary people can have the ability to exceed the number of times after injection, and the human body also has a certain resistance to nuclear radiation after injecting the enhancer, and can go deep into the center of some great destruction.

On top of that, it has been found that booster injections can cure most diseases in the body, even some terminal diseases.

Therefore, many beginner hunters who are just starting out will make getting a bottle of gene enhancer their first goal, after all, they will have more opportunities to make more money after becoming stronger.

In the last days, people sometimes become less valuable than food, and there are refugees dying of hunger everywhere on the road, and people seem to have become accustomed to it, and no one looks at the "bones" lying on the ground. Right. The hungry were left with only bones.

Xu Yiming was walking briskly on the street, and from time to time a woman with a slightly better posture beckoned to him on the side of the street, but he walked straight into a relatively complete store without looking at him.

It's a grocery store, and the interior is still in the past, full of all kinds of goods, including clothes that look like they're new, I don't know if there's expired bread, a rusty dagger, and a rusty pistol that I don't know if it can still be used.

At the top of the shelves is a small bottle of clear water, priced at S$50, which is the currency adopted by mankind a few years later after the Great Destruction, representing the rebirth after the destruction.

"Boss Li, look at the goods this time. “

Xu Yiming reached out and took out a cloth bag from his waist, untied the rope he was tied to, and poured out more than a dozen crystal nuclei from this hunt.

"Two second-order nuclei, seven first-order nuclei. Not bad this time. If you encounter a junior and mid-level mutant beast and still come back alive, it is worthy of being in the army for so long before, and how powerful it is to be crippled...... Hey, hey," the grocery store owner suddenly came to his senses.

"How much. Make a bid. ”

Xu Yiming didn't want to talk nonsense.

"The old rule is that the first-level crystal nucleus is 50 S$, and the second-level crystal nucleus is 200, for a total of S$750. It's probably still the same old rules."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer of the counter, took out 5 100 banknotes from it, took some bread and other food from the shelf, and then took a bottle of pure water from the top of the shelf and gave it to Xu Yiming.

Every time Xu Yiming came back from hunting, he would buy a bottle of pure water for Xu Changqing when he sold the crystal nucleus on his side, and he was reluctant to take a sip.

"You are really good to your child, I am only willing to drink one bottle of these pure water a month. Hehe, after so many transactions, I'll give you a free message, the HSBC Chamber of Commerce recently got a bottle of the newly developed new booster from within the army, but they need someone to go to the ruins of Acropolis City in the south to retrieve a very important thing. “

"Thank you"

Xu Yiming's face was slightly moved.

"It is said that there are mid-level and high-level mutants over there, and the hunter team sent out by the HSBC Business Alliance before only came back with 2 people in the past, you must know that there is a magician among them. They said they saw a humanoid mutant tens of meters in size, it was likely to be a mid-level high-level mutant beast, you can think clearly!"

"Thank you, then let's say goodbye to you first. ”

Xu Yiming took S$700, didn't want to talk more, and walked out of the grocery store quickly.

When he got home, it was already evening, Xu Yiming sat down in front of the bed, took out some of the food and had a full meal with Xu Changqing. Looking at his son's yellow and thin face due to long-term lack of nutrition, Xu Yiming couldn't help but feel sad.

"Dad is going out again tomorrow, this time it may take a little longer, this time I bought you a lot of food and came back, you take care of yourself. ”

"Dad, don't worry, I was fine for the last seven days. In order not to worry his father, Xu Changqing said in a full tone. Although his legs are paralyzed, he can still move his hands......

"Dad, the Shakespeare Collected Works you brought me last time was so beautiful! I can already memorize it! Hey, but who is Voltaire, how can he write such a beautiful book. ”

"He's a great writer hundreds of years ago, you like to read so much, I'll buy you a few more next time......"

The father and son didn't see each other for two days, and they talked until late at night.

The next day at noon

"Xu Yiming, who served in the army at the age of 16, became the youngest senior hunter of the First Army at the age of 20, and became the captain of the special hunting squad of the First Army at the age of 23. He has participated in dozens of battles, large and small, and is later said to have been wiped out by high-level mutants in the battle against the high-level mutants of the Ortara Ruins, and it turns out that he is still alive and has been hiding in our Vault 32. ”

It was a middle-aged man in a suit and bow tie who was talking, combing a standard big back hair, sitting on a large gorgeous sofa with his feet crossed, and across from him was Xu Yiming, who was wearing a shabby army combat uniform.

"I want the new booster you got this time"

Xu Yiming said calmly.

"With your reputation, you should be able to get a genetic enhancer from the army, why do you want to come to our HSBC firm?"

"I won't go back to the army, back then...... Alas...... Don't ask more!"

"I absolutely believe in your abilities, but judging from your current physical condition, you walk frivolously now,

It should have been a very serious injury many years ago, and can you still deal with a mid-level and high-level mutant beast? That thing is very important to our trading house, and I don't want anything to go wrong again. ”

"I still have a dose of Berserk Angel Elixir. Xu Yiming said resolutely

"That's fine, but with your current physical condition, wouldn't it be dead to use this thing again? ”

The middle-aged man said in surprise for the first time

"That's my thing. Make a decision!"

"Okay! We want ...... from the ruins. After the matter is completed, the medicine will be yours, and our HSBC commercial bank is the most creditable, so you can rest assured!"

The middle-aged man got up and shook hands with Xu Yiming.

After Xu Yiming left, a bewitching woman walked out of the room behind the middle-aged man, walked behind him and leaned down to stretch out her hand to massage the middle-aged man.

"President Lee, who is this person? You can trust him with this task. ”

"This person is not simple, don't ask more. ”

Xu Yiming returned home, glanced at Xu Changqing, who was already asleep, with a gentle face, and walked to his room and took out a long iron box from under the bed, inside which was a war knife that emitted a fierce cold light!

Xu Yiming grabbed the knife and tied it to his back, took out a tube of dark purple liquid from the box, and finally reluctantly glanced at the photo of the bedside, which was a photo of their family, a young woman holding a child snuggled up to him, and the faces of the two showed happy smiles......
