Wasteland Survival System and Dogs

Chapter 54

Abandoned factory 36 miles away from Mueller City.

It is said that this place was originally a food processing workshop, but it was looted by an endless stream of scavengers decades ago.Needless to say, the fragments of parts, but even the tables, chairs and benches have been removed.

Today, it is a wasteland where even lemmings do not build their nests.

Except for shelter from the wind and rain, there is almost no extra use.

But it also happened to be the first stop of Jing'an's journey.

till morning.

The temperature difference between day and night causes the roadside vegetation to be covered with a thin layer of dew.

If there are scavengers traveling overnight, this is the time for them to replenish resources - compared to groundwater, the dew that will be evaporated by the morning sun after a while is obviously more suitable for drinking.

When the radiation concentration is too low, there is almost no need to worry about any side effects.

Can you drink?That would be great.

"However, I still don't recommend you drink this."

The old Popsicle's movements stopped suddenly, and a pair of brown eyes were full of confusion on the slightly opened dog's mouth.

Why?

"Because of this plant."

Jing An smiled and walked to the side of Old Popsicle, and squatted down.He picked up a withered and cracked tree branch and fiddled with it from a distance. In front of him was this seemingly ordinary sapling.

flutter……

After a strange trembling sound, the jagged leaves began to change color.From green to yellow, it takes only two seconds before and after.At the same time, the dew that covered the leaves also turned cloudy yellow in an instant.

"Look."

The dew dripped on the mud floor with a sour hissing sound.But in the blink of an eye, it has turned into a wisp of green smoke exuding a burnt smell, floating in the air.There was only a fingernail-sized hole left, and the old Popsicle licked his nostril nervously.

"Woooo."

Without the systematic translation, although Jing An couldn't immediately understand what the old Popsicle wanted to express.But after spending so many days together, he somewhat understood this guy's character.

"This is a seedling of a mancha tree. These guys will change their colors under the influence of the outside world, like a predator caught by Zhang Yawu, trying to deter attackers."

Jing'an picked up the dead branch and inserted it into the hole that was still warm.

"Then, they will secrete strong acid substances to fight against the enemy. Imagine, if your tongue licked it just now, what would happen now?"

The old Popsicle shrank his neck in a somewhat wretched manner, his eyes hung upwards, and he showed Jing An an expression that looked like he was afraid.

"Hey..."

"Read more and remember more, these things are indispensable if you want to survive in the wild."

The decades-long life of scavengers has not been useless to Jing'an.He can recognize almost all the environment and edible crops around Muller City.

It's just this knowledge, and it doesn't include the Winterhold area going north.

As the northernmost region of the Federation, it is said that it was an inaccessible place before the disaster struck-the local indigenous plateau people are very xenophobic.It is not easy to trade, and even barren land has no economic value.

It is a paradise in the world of science and technology, but it is also a terrifying and desperate situation in the post-disaster world.

As the penultimate residence in the Federal District, the entire Northern Territory fell almost immediately, cutting off all ties with the Federation.

The tragic situation in Okura City is still vivid, not to mention the already severe environment in the northern border.Under the pessimistic mood that almost everyone maintained, no one thought that there would be a 'miracle'.

In the fifth year since the disaster, everything has not yet recovered, when winter and spring are handed over.

A telegram requesting communication suddenly came from the northern border.

Jing'an, who used to be at the bottom, also understands that this is enough to mark a turning point in the history of the Federation - the tenacious plateau people established a new city-state under the most difficult environment.
Winterhold, as the last living force of the survivors in the north, gathered all the survivors and declared that it has the strength to protect itself.As one of the few large population gathering places in the entire federal area, since then, Winterhold has also become a "remaining fruit" ever-burning light.

As early as a few years ago, Jing'an might have thought it was a weapon of mass destruction.

But now, he also tasted a little 'smell'.

"It was the mutants who turned the tide, and finally formed an alliance, let's hold together to keep warm."

Compared with Muller City, a mutant team like Diamond City.

Evolutionary beasts that can withstand a whole cold area, or characters from natural disasters...

It can only be a guy with a higher mutation level.
"It is indeed a dragon's pool and a tiger's den."

But I had to go.

If you want to advance further, the materials needed by Jing'an can only be obtained in the northern region.This information was deliberately marked by the system, and it was deeply reflected in Jing An's mind.

A more severe environment will only breed more extraordinary mutant individuals.

Nest-level evolutionary beasts that are a little more terrifying than whale beasts may be hiding somewhere in the northern border.Just thinking about these is enough to make people shudder.

"Hey...forget it, it's useless to think so much."

After all, plans can be changed based on the status quo.

In the final analysis, the purpose of Jing'an's trip to the north this time is not only to seek further opportunities, but also to find corresponding materials that can make Nuo Er a mutant.

Among the information left by the system, the telencephalon and the twins are very special evolutionary pathways, and their rarity is even rarer than Reinhardt's overlord pathway.But the reasons are all strange reasons.

Just thinking about these harsh conditions is deeply inexplicable, let alone ordinary people.Jing An shook her head, temporarily preventing herself from thinking about these too distant plans.

In front of him, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with.

After thinking about it, Jing An didn't have the mood to continue joking. He took out a container of drinking water from his backpack, took out most of it, and put it in front of Old Popsicle.

"Drink it, don't waste it. Let's take a rest casually, and continue on our way later, and we can find the next foothold before dark." a
The map left by the system is still in Jing'an's mind.On a winding and winding red line, there are dozens of red dots dotted, and these are all places where people can live in groups.

As far as the planning content is concerned, there is no problem at all.

Jing'an thought in silence for a moment, and then made a decision.

Let's rest here for a while.

"If you get bored later, just walk around casually. Remember not to go too far... If you are in danger, remember our password."

The old popsicle shook its tail symbolically, and then happily rushed into the bushes beside it.After a while, it was no longer seen.

And Jing'an continued to pack her bags and backpacks, and walked straight to the empty factory building.He looked around, and Dang even chose a room with the back of the sun, and put everything together.

Time is running out, so hurry up.

Jing'an needs to finish some urgent tasks before noon.

such as……

The processing of the soul.
