Chapter 350 Wasteland Era
Richard didn't stay in the underground city for long, as the living environment there was too depressing. He came directly to the surface through magic.

The ground was dark and the sky was dim. There was a yellow cloud in the distance. The dust from the nuclear explosion made the sky look gray. Richard knew that it was all radioactive dust.

There are ruins all around. It looks like this place used to be a city, but now it has become a ruin. There are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the dust in the air makes it difficult to breathe.

"Master, the surrounding radiation is abnormal."

"Scan your surroundings."

"Scanning in progress Scan completed"

Soon a large amount of data appeared before his eyes.

The radiation concentration in the surroundings was thirty times higher than the safe value. Ordinary people here would die quickly without a radiation suit, but this amount of radiation was not enough to cause harm to Richard.

Richard walked out of the ruins. The ruins of the city should have been looted, and most of the valuable things were gone. Richard saw a string of strange yet familiar English words on a car that had been burned to only the frame - Made-in-China.

Well, it seems that the University of Tokyo in this world is developing very well. The automobile market here in America has been occupied by the University of Tokyo.

I just don't know how life is like in this post-nuclear world, but it must be better than the cyberpunk wasteland in America.

This continent gave him the feeling that he had returned to the city-state era. Each underground base was a city-state, controlled by a small number of celestial dragons, and the rest were either management or slaves.

Richard jumped over the broken walls and continued to walk out of the city. Soon, he arrived at the edge of the city ruins.

At this moment, he suddenly looked into the distance. In his perception, a group of zombie-like creatures appeared 20 kilometers away. Richard's mind moved slightly, and he flew directly in that direction.

Soon he saw a group of zombies chasing and attacking several humans. Those people kept using guns to fight back. But the effect didn't seem to be great. These zombies were very fast and seemed to be very strong. They could only be attacked in the head.

Those people were wearing protective clothing, holding guns, protecting each other, fighting and retreating, but it was obvious that they couldn't hold out for much longer. There were too many zombies, and in addition to the zombies, there was a kind of monster with amazing jumping ability.

Several people were thrown to the ground by these monsters, and then torn to pieces in the blink of an eye. In just a short while, people were thrown to the ground and had no chance to get up.

In just a blink of an eye, all the people in this small group were killed or injured. Seeing this, Richard waved his hand and released an iron golem. The iron golem was instantly activated, and the next second a Gatling gun appeared on its shoulder.

"Buzz!"

Bullets were hurled out like water, and the monsters chasing behind were directly torn to pieces by the powerful force of the Vulcan Cannon. Even the monsters with amazing jumping ability could not escape.

After dealing with most of the monsters, the Iron Golem drew out its long sword and rushed forward in an instant. The monsters were completely slaughtered when facing the Iron Golem.

Their proud claws and sharp teeth could not leave any marks on the iron golems, but these monsters were easily killed. The high-frequency particle energy blade could be said to be able to cut iron like mud. Wherever the light blade passed, all the monsters were cut in two.

However, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen monsters were killed.

Richard walked forward, and suddenly an electronic voice sounded: "Warning! Warning!"

"The current radiation contamination index has exceeded 25%. Please stay away from this area as soon as possible. Please inject iodine as soon as possible."

Richard looked at the source of the sound, and it was a watch-like device on the man's wrist. This watch had many functions, it could monitor the body's condition at all times, and it seemed that it could also connect to a computer.

Richard snapped his fingers, and the Iron Golem, which had just killed the surrounding monsters, carried the woman and left the ruins. As for the others, they had been torn into pieces by the monsters, deader than dead.

About half an hour later, the surrounding radiation had decreased a lot. Richard asked the Iron Golem to put it down and used "Natural Recovery" to treat it.

Soon the woman rescued by Richard woke up.

"Did you save me?" the woman said in English.

"Yes, who are you?" Richard asked.

The woman looked at the iron golem standing next to her, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes and she said, "We are scavengers."

"You just came out of the shelter!" the woman continued.

"Why do you think so?" Richard asked.

"Think of your clothes, temperament, and the combat robot next to you." As the woman spoke, she took out a green injection from her clothes and inserted the injection into a port on the watch.

The green potion was quickly injected into her body. While injecting, he explained: "Revenant hunters or predators will never save irrelevant people."

"This green medicine is an anti-radiation medicine. Every time the radiation exceeds 10%, you will be injected to reduce the radiation. You were in a severe radiation area just now, and you didn't wear an anti-radiation suit. There is radiation on your body. Do you want one?"

The woman handed Richard a green anti-radiation potion.

Richard took it but did not use it. Instead, he let the system scan and analyze it.

"I don't need it for now, but I will use it if I need it." Richard said.

A man with a very strong sense of vigilance.

Helen instantly understood the man's thoughts, but she didn't have too many thoughts. In this post-nuclear world, it would be difficult to survive if you were not vigilant enough.

"Gurgle!" Suddenly there was a sound from her stomach. Helen blushed and asked, "Do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes." Richard took out some compressed biscuits and handed them to her.

Seeing the compressed biscuits, Helen showed a hint of surprise and quickly took them and ate them. Food without radiation like this is very rare in this world, and only some of them are available when some shelters are opened.

"What's your name?" Richard asked.

"Helen." The woman swallowed her food and said, "What about you?"

"Richard, you can call me Li."

"Is there any city or human settlement nearby?" "Yes." Helen said, "This is Epaid. It can record physical condition, radiation level, and maps, etc. Here it is for you."

As Helen spoke, she took out a device similar to the watch on her hand and handed it to Richard.

Richard took it and put it on his hand. Soon the watch began to display data, but these data were completely different from Richard's real data. It was exactly the data Richard wanted.

After all, his real data is too exaggerated, and this kind of EP cannot be detected at all. In fact, according to the data of the rules of the Motera world, every time a stage is promoted, how much power can be increased by one attribute point can be said to be a world of difference.

The data displayed on Richard's EP was exactly the edited data he had just scanned from Helen.

Helen finished her food quickly, and Richard handed her a bottle of water. After eating and drinking, the two started to leave.

"Your food and water are very precious in the camp. It's almost impossible to find uncontaminated food in this world. Don't take them out casually." As she spoke, Helen suddenly saw the battle robot next to Richard and said, "Well, with this battle robot, those people won't dare to fight you."

The EP watch is a high-tech personal terminal computer, with more advanced technology than the Marvel world, except for Iron Man. This watch has the functions of positioning, mapping, real-time body monitoring, radiation measurement, receiving information, storing a lot of people's information, and even loading some plug-ins.

If the skills are digitized and input here, this watch will be like a physical version of some system.

It can be said that it is a necessary tool for everyone living on the ground. If this EP watch continues to evolve, it is very likely to become a chip-implanted level.

This thing is like the personal tower spirit system terminal made by the arcanists, but it is a simplified version of the simplified version.

Some powerful arcanists will constantly strengthen their personal tower spirit system terminals and even invest divine power to strengthen them, allowing them to possess some of the power of the gods.

The two continued on their way. After the nuclear explosion, many animals also received radiation and mutated. Richard had just seen a two-headed bison. This bison looked like two heads squeezed together like plasticine, which looked very scary.

The bison are very strong, and after being mutated by radiation, they are also very aggressive. After seeing Richard and Helen, the two-headed bison rushed directly towards them.

"It's a two-headed cow, which is a common food here. However, because they are radiation mutants, their meat is also radioactive. Be careful, they have strong vitality," Helen said as she took out her weapon and aimed.

"No need." Richard waved his hand, and the iron golem next to him rushed over instantly. The energy light blade in his hand swung down, and the two-headed bull's head was directly cut off, cutting it into two pieces.

Helen, who was standing next to him, looked at the Iron Golem in surprise, and then said to Richard, "Are combat robots already so powerful?"

"Technology is advancing." Richard shrugged.

"Okay, but I need to process the meat. All my teammates are dead this time, and I have to bring food back." Helen took out a dagger and began to cut up the bison.

"When you hunt these animals to eat in the future, you need to use EP to test their meat. The meat of these deformed creatures is radioactive, and it can only be eaten if the radiation is below 10%. " Helen treated Richard as someone who had just come out of the shelter, and kept imparting knowledge about life in this post-nuclear explosion world.

Helen used a knife to cut the meat of the two-headed cow. Every time she cut a piece of meat, she would use her watch to test the radiation in the meat.

"We are lucky. Half of the cow has less than 10% radiation. The remaining half can be used after some processing. Unfortunately, we cannot preserve it, so we have to give up."

Helen looked at the discarded meat with regret.

It was evening, and the two found a place to rest in the leeward wind, while Helen grilled all the meat. Taking off the protective suit, Helen did not look pretty. After all, in this era, there were no cosmetics, and no time for maintenance. Since childhood, she had to struggle for survival, and few people looked good.

Although the scavengers on the ground are freer than the residents in the underground city, they are also more dangerous. It is no wonder that so many people in the underground city would rather be oppressed than leave.

At least those people in the underground city are relatively safe, and although the food is not tasty, it can barely fill their stomachs.

"Did your shelter open on time or did it run out of energy? Or did they come out of their own accord?" Helen asked.

Richard asked, "Is there any difference?"

"If the shelter is opened normally, it will attract many looters, and the supplies in the shelter are very valuable. If it is opened voluntarily, it will be an even bigger piece of fat meat." Helen said casually.

"When you get to the camp, don't tell anyone. There will always be some people who will take risks."

"kindness!"

Helen sighed and said, "People who come out of the shelter are usually high-level talents. Many camps will recruit them. You can choose one when the time comes."

"What's the situation on the ground now?" Richard asked.

"What can happen? Civilization has already left us."

"Humans can only struggle to survive!"

"Some military forces, chaebols or other organizations on the ground have set up camps for survivors. In some areas, the nuclear radiation has dropped to near normal levels. Those people have set up camps, planted food, built factories, and enslaved a large number of people to work for them."

"We also mastered the technology to produce radiation-resistant drugs on a large scale."

"Although we are free, we still have to work for them in exchange for anti-radiation drugs."

"We searched for various supplies in the wilderness and then exchanged potions with them." Helen shook her head and smiled.

After listening to Helen's story, Richard also understood that in this world, whether underground or above ground, there is a group of people who control the anti-radiation drugs and use them to enslave other people.

Those tycoons and warlords welcomed the people coming out of the shelters. Before the nuclear explosion, a large number of shelters and dungeons were built all over the world. Most of the people in the shelters were people with various skills. The time when the shelters were opened varied. The earliest one was opened fifty years ago, and the latest one has not been opened yet.

People in the shelter often master some technologies and have not been influenced by the trends of the times. Many chaebols and warlords need them to conduct scientific research.

Of course, there are also many people who are unwilling to accept the enslavement of the chaebols and choose to resist.

The situation on the ground is a mess now. Without strong government intervention, everyone is basically doing their own thing, and many of them are just scavengers who gather together on their own.

The Brotherhood is one of them. They have been gathering a large number of rebels to break the monopoly of warlords and chaebols.
