Chapter 3: The World After Nuclear War
The Tower is a civilization that survived the nuclear explosion.
Thirty years ago, wars broke out between several major powers, and nuclear bombs rained down for a while.
The earth was devastated.
At this time, due to the chain reaction of the nuclear explosion, the earth underwent another major cataclysm.
At this point, the creatures of the entire tower world were almost wiped out.
Only five towers built by several groups at that time, because of their particularity, survived this disaster by luck.
However, after the catastrophe, a new ecosystem gradually emerged in the shattered land due to nuclear radiation.
Strange plants are smiling in the wind, and fierce insects and beasts that look like various torsos of the human body hunt humans everywhere.
For this reason, the surviving humans in the tower began a difficult struggle for survival.
And the timeline when Mu Bai entered here is the 33rd year of the tower calendar.
It is also the third year that a new ecosystem is born in the earth.
After entering the tower world from the extradimensional rift of the 1523 fragment, Mu Bai acted alone.
And the other twenty aliens who received the task of asking for help, after teleporting into this world together, they saw that Mu Bai was just an ordinary person.
I lost interest in him.
If Mu Bai was an alien, they might even be interested in inviting him to act together.
But ordinary people, in their eyes, are not even qualified to support their hind legs.
Of course, even if these aliens don't dislike Mu Bai.
Mu Bai won't act with them either.
In his opinion, most of the twenty aliens were food deliverers, and few of them could survive this mission.
On the contrary, he acted on his own, whether it was to save those doctors or survive, there was a good chance of going to the end.
I don't think about that.
Looking up, Mu Bai's current location was in a forest.
The trees are towering, the flowers and plants are everywhere, and the original ecology is full of greenery.
And judging from the scorching sun crawling overhead, the time should also be noon.
As for the accurate time period until noon, Mu Bai couldn't see it.
The time here is not the same as outside, and from the mechanical watch he wears, the difference may be four or five hours.
Rustle rustle......
The sound of grass and trees rubbing sounded, and Mu Bai, who was walking in the forest, held the poisonous bee pistol, and suddenly stopped with a wary face.
Thirty-three years after the disaster, the forest, or the whole land, was full of crises.
Before Mu Bai came in, although he used the gene liquid exchanged with Wang Nan to transform his body.
But in the tower world, it's still not enough.
An inconspicuous grass in the forest can sometimes kill him.
Unlike the walking dead and ghosts, as long as there is restraint, you can be safe.
Here, only strength and experience are the foundation of survival.
For example, the small rose-like flower one meter away from his left side would be picked or accidentally touched by someone who didn't understand.
The small flowers like roses emit a hallucinogenic toxin that causes delirium, hallucinations, and so on.
So walk in the tower world, be careful everywhere.
Fortunately, Mu Bai had come and made some preparations.
I saw him stretch out his left index finger and press it on his temple, and said in his mouth.
"Launch. ”
Then I saw that his left eye was shining, and an infrared light radiated from his pupil, scanning towards the front of him.
Then a picture was formed in Mu Bai's mind, and he saw that the "rustling" sound that sounded in the forest just now was made by something.
And this is the function of the alien chip implanted in the left sideburn.
"Hand bugs?"
Looking at the things that appeared in the infrared, Mu Bai raised his eyebrows and read.
Then another virtual picture appeared in front of me, which read.
[Hand worm: A new insect born from parasitism in the human arm.
They move on five fingers, with the ends of their arms as their heads, and their faces are human, with sharp jagged teeth and a layer of razor-like scales.
Strength: 30 (jin)
Speed: 12 meters per second
Attack: Teeth biting or throwing blades on the body like scale armor.
Danger: Class I.
Seeing that it was a creature like a vicious hand worm, Mu Bai's vigilant heart couldn't help but let go.
Hand worms can be found everywhere in the Tower world.
It is a being at the bottom of the food chain.
As long as you don't provoke it, it won't attack you.
Speaking of which, many humans still keep this thing as a pet.
Mu Bai didn't know why these people had such a strange hobby.
Exhaled lightly and found that there was no danger, Mu Bai turned off the alien chip.
Without the supply of dimensional power, this thing is very energy-intensive.
And once the energy is exhausted, the alien chip becomes completely useless.
Another thing, if this thing is left on all the time, it will seriously affect people's spirits.
Therefore, in addition to using it at critical moments, it is better to use it sparingly.
There used to be an alien person, just because he kept driving the alien chip for detection, and it didn't take long for the person to become an idiot.
Mu Bai didn't want to follow in such footsteps.
After the alien chip was turned off, Mu Bai hurriedly walked towards the east of the forest.
Just now, while looking around, he was surprised to find a towering mountain peak on the east side of the forest.
According to his understanding, there should be a human tower behind this peak.
So I planned to go to the tower and settle down first.
By the way, I'm inquiring about the news.
After all, the tower can't stay in the wilderness for long, especially at night, all kinds of terrifying beasts will jump out.
If you meet a VI-level creature, Mu Bai is not enough for people to stuff their teeth.
It's just that this time Mu Bai still didn't move forward for long, so he stopped cautiously again.
Because a dozen meters in front of him, there was a human corpse lying there.
And the body is crawling with dozens of evil hand bugs.
Seeing this situation, Mu Bai hurriedly opened the alien chip.
However, after a scan and detection, there were no dangerous animals and plants around except for those vicious hand insects.
Judging by the corpse, it was clear that he had just died.
And judging from the death and wounds, it was not caused by the evil hand worm.
In other words, there should be other dangerous creatures around.
The fact that the heterogeneous chip is not detected by scanning does not mean that it is not.
In addition, the detection range of the heterogeneous chip is up to 50 meters.
In this way, before discovering this danger, if Mu Bai continued to move forward, he would probably be hunted by the other party.
So he held the poison bee pistol and cautiously approached the corpse.
Prepare to take a closer look and see if you can find out what kind of creature killed this person.
When the evil hand worm saw someone approaching, it scattered from the corpse.
After the evil hand worm was gone, Mu Bai also clearly saw the entire appearance of the corpse.
The dead were a man, about forty years old.
Judging by the way he was dressed, the man who died was supposed to be a hunter.
After seeing the person's appearance and identity, Mu Bai Meiyu couldn't help but screw together.
At the same time, my heart was full of trouble.
Creatures that can kill hunters are at least level III.
Sand...... Sand......
Just when Mu Bai came to the corpse to observe, a faint voice suddenly sounded from the big tree above his head.
