Wasteland Survival System and Dogs

Chapter 3 A Way and Old Popsicles

Outer District, Knorr-Bremse Branch.

This is a government-subsidized welfare housing. Abandoned by parents, bereaved of relatives due to accidents, plus helpless old people, these are all the residents of the Knorr branch.

The division of the entire outer area is extremely exaggerated, almost three times that of the inner city area.

But in fact, here are some lands that have been slightly polluted.Planted crops will mutate due to a small amount of radiation, and if eaten for a long time, the body will have very serious sequelae.

The average age of people living on this land will not exceed 40 years old.

Pushing aside the decorative iron fence, accompanied by the creaking of teeth, Jing An led the big dog and walked into this dilapidated row house.

The two empty rooms on the left have been deserted for a long time. After the death of the two elders who raised Jing An, they no longer accept new poor people to live in. Except Nuo Er, he no longer trusts anyone.

Jing An squatted down cautiously, and slowly opened the inner room on the far right.

At the same time as there was a creak, the thin thread hidden in the crack of the door was not broken.

This meant that no one else had visited the place while he was away.

"Phew...it's fine, be careful, there is no big mistake."

He retracted the thin wire into the mezzanine of the door frame, then passed through the living room to a small bedroom on the side.

Under the air-leakage wall of iron plates and wooden blocks, the bed raised by gray cotton and straw barely played the role of warmth and support.

A child named Noel was lying on it, covered with a fairly clean printed quilt, with flushed face and pale lips.The flaxen-colored long hair is slightly curly, showing the identity of a different race from Jing An.

"Noel, how are you feeling?"

"Brother... brother. You are back."

The latter slightly opened his eyes, struggling to sit up, but was pushed back by Jing An.

"You don't need to get up, just lie down... Wait, what's going on?"

When he got closer, Nuo Er's hot breath also sprayed on his face, with a hint of sweet fishy smell, which made Jing An's face even more ugly.

As the condition got worse, the throat should also have a tendency to start to fester.

The situation seemed to be much, much more serious than he had expected.

"Noel, don't move, let me see."

Gently lifting a corner of the quilt, Jing An caught a glimpse of the partial traces that were beginning to turn blue, and even began to blacken.

He twisted his index finger and gently touched Noel's arm.

"pain……"

Jing'an's heart couldn't help but twitch, and she immediately withdrew her tentative thoughts.

It was just a superficial phenomenon before, but now it has begun to penetrate deep into the skin layer and reach the nerves.

He quietly put the beef jerky in his hand behind his back, trying not to let Noel see this thing-this is her favorite snack, she only tasted it once when she was five years old.

"Noel, be good, lie down and don't move around. I'll contact the doctor right away, and I'll take you to the surgery tomorrow."

"But, money..."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Jing An touched Nuo Er's smooth forehead, her heart was full of anxiety.

In this case, surgery may not be able to solve the problem.

"System, analyze Noel's situation."

[Analyzing... Noel, a seven-year-old yellow-white mixed race.Drinking polluted water for a long time, severe functional failure due to excessive radiation, organ disease has begun, the tendency of tumor formation in the body is 68%, the digestive tract, stomach, and internal organs show signs of corrosion... To sum up, only the city of Muller At the medical level, there is absolutely no possibility of treatment]

Jing An's movements of helping Nuo Er tuck the quilt couldn't help but stagnate, his expression froze and his voice trembled.

There is no possibility of treatment?

How can it be!He fell ill only three weeks ago, and counting the incubation period, it was only about a month, how could it be so fast!

[Reminder: For children with weak resistance, the amount of radiation absorbed is different from that of adults.The current level of Muller City cannot even guarantee the environment of the sterile room. For Nuoer, the wound caused by a planing operation is very likely to be reinfected]

Jing An's expression became sluggish, falling from heaven to hell only took a moment.

[In addition, if the contact with the source of infection is cut off at the early stage of the infection, and the anti-radiation injection is given, Nuoer has a 98% chance of recovery]

A month ago, anti-radiation Ning.

A bottle of life-saving medicine cost 300 caps, and even when the two elderly people were suffering from illness, Jing An couldn't get a sky-high price.

So, is there really no other way...

As if feeling Jing'an's state of mind, the always calm Dagou slightly raised his eyelids, looking up and down with humane eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

[In analysis... If Noel's survival is the top priority, the host can change the way of thinking.It is recommended that the host choose the sequence path for Nuoer, so that she can also become an evolutionary]

evolutionary?Can becoming an evolutionary person make these diseases disappear?
[Hint: The essence of an evolutionary is to gradually adapt the host to this radiation-filled world, and through various means and methods, to make one's own life level higher, thus becoming another brand new species]

These words were obviously awkward, but Jing An didn't think much about them, and just stuck to a central point.

What path should I choose so that Nuoer can survive!
[Maternal pathway: As the name suggests, it is a mutation pathway developed by using itself as a host of a mutant species.Entering this path, the organs, bones, and even blood of the evolutionary will be replaced until it becomes a literal matrix for sojourners]

Becoming an evolutionary can save lives.

Jing An silently looked at this haggard relative, his right hand gently stroked Nuoer's little head, his eyes gradually became firm.

I choose to make her an evolutionary, system, arrange a specific execution plan for me.

【Analyzing... draw a conclusion.In order for Noel to survive, the host needs to make two-handed preparations]

[1. Send Nuoer to the highest anti-radiation hospital, cut off the source of infection, and inject a certain amount of anti-radiation Ning and nutrient solution every day to maintain vitality.According to the analysis of the host's financial resources, the longest is one month and eight days]

[2. There is a lack of various materials of the maternal pathway around Muller City, and the host needs to go out for fixed-point hunting.Due to limited information, we can only plan a rough route, and the estimated time...one month and three days]

On the one hand, you need to hang Noel with resources and gold coins.

On the one hand, Jing An needs to hunt materials non-stop.

Time is very tight on both sides and the deadlines are similar.

Jing'an's hands were clenched into fists, and a firm gaze was reflected in her eyes.

Let's make a decision like this, the system will start specific planning on your side, and submit it to me if you have a plan.

After comforting Noel with the news that he was asleep, he stood up gently, took the materials and the big dog into the kitchen of the side room, and directly began to process various materials according to the system's prompts.

Cooking, cutting, pressing, after several tedious processes, the waste residue piled up at his feet to form a hill.

"Is this the mutated potion..."

A cup of thick liquid that was as black as ink exuded a strange stench, which made Jing An frown slightly.

[Drinking the potion, the host will officially become a mutant]

Without any hesitation, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

She felt like her stomach was churning, and Jing'an sat on the edge of the bed with her teeth bared, her face full of pain.

Fortunately, this torture came and went quickly.But after a while, the pain subsided like a tide, and then, Jing An was surprised to find that her body seemed much lighter.

[The first level of mutation has been achieved, the effect of mortals: the most basic genetic evolution has begun, the host's response ability, and the strength of limbs have increased significantly]

"drink!"

He tentatively punched it, but it smashed the iron frame beside the stove and dented it into a whole piece!

You know, this is a solid concrete structure, not some superficial frame!

"This is really an exaggeration..."

I don't know if I can compete with the black demon with my current strength.

[Only in terms of strength, it is recommended that the host evolves to the second level of mutation: the giant then chooses to fight hand-to-hand with the black demon]

The second level of mutation, giant.

Jing An nodded slightly, and got acquainted with her brand new 'body' again, then pushed the door out and came to the side of the big dog.

"I know you can understand what I said, and you can understand what happened just now."

"How about it, are you interested in hanging out with me?"

The dog was lying on the ground with a big dark face, but it didn't hear or move.

[Tip: The black wolf dog is disheartened and betrayed by his host. He has no intention of continuing to serve others.The host can persuade it through other means, such as freedom]

Jing An frowned slightly, out of trust in the system, he did not underestimate this humble big dog.

"How about this, since I have bought your life, then you will accompany me to hunt outside for a month or more. During this period, you must go all out. After the end, if you still want to leave, then Whatever you want, how about it?"

The big dog's ears were slightly erect, and its jet-black pupils rolled around, staring at Jing'an, as if thinking.

Afterwards, it only heard it humming, raised its head slightly, and called out to Jing'an.

"Wang!"

This is the promise.

After reaching a consensus, Jing An loosened the leash around the big dog's neck—he was willing to give corresponding trust to this partner whose intelligence was not even lower than that of ordinary people.

Besides...it's just a leash, Jing An doesn't believe that he can hold this guy.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Jing An took Nuo Er away non-stop. He rushed into the most versatile large hospital in Muller City, and threw the gold bars in his hand along with the suitcase on the table of the attending doctor.

"This money is all yours. Take care of her life for me. You can't take it away when the King of Hades comes!"

[Reminder: The attending doctor of internal medicine has abundant medical ethics. As long as the money is in place, Nuo Er's life can be saved completely]

The slightly bald old man was wearing a dirty white coat, looking at the few shiny gold bars, he couldn't help swallowing.

"No problem, death will not take this kid away when it comes, I promise."

Under the appropriate dose of anesthetic, Nuo Er's twisted brows gradually relaxed.As the surrounding medical staff kept busy, Jing An watched as the breathing tubes and life support machines were connected one after another, then turned around and left without saying a word.

To make money, to find materials, and the time... is only one month.

He lowered his head, just in time to look at the big dog crouching at the entrance of the hospital.

"Come on, we should go."

"Wang!"

One person, one dog, reach a consensus at this moment.

"Then... I have to give you a name, otherwise it's not easy to call it."

Jing'an thought for a while, and remembered the radiation series games that she liked very much in her previous life.

"I'll call you Old Popsicle, how about it?"

"...???"
