Chapter 351 Scavenger Camp

Richard was not interested in warlords, chaebols, and the Brotherhood. In his opinion, they were all basically the same, except that the Brotherhood was better at disguising itself.

It can be said that this world is rotten to the core. There is not even a chance for reformation. It is more suitable to be demolished and rebuilt.

"Ding, the analysis of the anti-radiation agent is complete."

"The current medicine is made using genetic technology to add iodine. Long-term use may cause physical deformation."

"The direction of the body's deformation is disorder. There is a chance of a deformed giant, a chance of genetic collapse, and a chance of becoming a death claw."

"This is not an antidote. This is just drinking poison to quench thirst." Richard looked at the anti-radiation potion in his hand.

He now suspected that the potion was made like this on purpose by those wealthy people.

"Are these the anti-radiation drugs you bought?" Richard asked.

"Yes, the packaging may be different, but the ingredients are the same," said Helen.

"The formulas of those bases and dungeons are all the same?" Richard asked in surprise.

"They are all the same, or rather, they are all developed based on the same formula." Helen continued, "In the beginning, the Shuguang Laboratory developed an anti-radiation drug and then published the formula of the drug."

"The original intention of the Shuguang Laboratory was to enable all of humanity to save themselves, but unfortunately, the machinery and equipment for producing anti-radiation drugs have been controlled by those people. Even if we know the formula, we cannot make the drug."

"Dawn? Haha." Richard sneered.

Helen asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"This anti-radiation drug has side effects." Richard said directly: "Long-term use may cause genetic collapse or turn into a deformed body."

Helen smiled bitterly and said, "We have no choice. We may die after using this potion, but it doesn't mean we will die for sure."

Richard smiled slightly. Distortion radiation, which was difficult for others to deal with, was not a problem for him at all. He had many ways to clean up the radiation.

You have to know that both the Arcanists and Wizards were serious sources of pollution a long time ago. During the Arcane Empire, the Arcanists' experiments caused many places to be seriously polluted, which was one of the reasons why the Archdruids and the Arcanists went to war.

As for wizards, many wizards turn themselves into radiation sources during their practice. In the inheritance of the Wizard King, many wizards will lose control during their practice.

In the wizard tradition, many wizards will lose control of their bloodlines when they are promoted, which will directly cause bloodline collapse and death, or even worse, they will be transformed into evil creatures.

The radiation used by wizards is much more serious than this nuclear radiation. It is a serious pollution that can corrupt even the soul. It is a practice method borrowed from ancient evil creatures and gods. The earliest origin is the school of trickery before the Silver Age.

This school studied ancient evil things and was expelled by other magic schools. Then this school rushed on this road and eventually formed the wizard school. Although the wizard school is very powerful, it has serious hidden dangers.

The wizarding school that Richard practices part-time is considered relatively normal.

The way wizards deal with radiation is to use other substances to neutralize it, and the way of arcanists is to cooperate with druids. Both methods can remove pollution.

Richard let the system deduce an anti-radiation drug with no side effects. Now that he has come to this world, he must bring some changes to this desperate world.

This place was in such a mess before I came, and now that I am here, it is still in such a mess? Then I came here in vain!

He can create a red clown in the Batman world, so there is no reason why he can't do that in this wasteland world! He wants to let these people have a taste of what a dictatorship is like.

Richard decided to go to the camp with Helen. The camp where Helen was was a free camp. It was formed by scavengers who gathered spontaneously. The armed forces were very weak, but better than nothing.

After daybreak, the two prepared to return to the camp.

The meat of the deformed two-headed cow was quite good. For Helen, this kind of low-radiation meat was very good. After eating this meat, the radiation contamination in her body did not increase by 1%.

After two hundred years in this environment, humans have actually evolved some resistance to radiation. Otherwise, even with anti-radiation drugs, humans would not be able to withstand such strong radiation.

Radiation directly attacks cell genes, and this damage is difficult to repair. However, the human body has evolved, and some low-radiation can repair itself after being expelled from the body.

The animals in the wilderness evolve faster than humans, just like the deformed two-headed cow they encountered yesterday. This creature can already survive in most radiation zones.

The most common creatures in the wilderness are radioactive rats and radioactive cockroaches, which can enter almost all radioactive areas.

After a large number of humans died, technology almost stopped, and a large amount of land became barren, these radioactive cockroaches and radioactive rats were about to become a disaster. And both of these things began to grow in size.

The irradiated cockroaches have become the size of a palm, and the irradiated mice can grow to 20 centimeters, no smaller than the cats of the past.

Many people at the bottom of society who have no money or dare not hunt will choose to catch radioactive cockroaches and radioactive rats to eat. However, the radiation pollution of these two creatures is very high, and people will die soon due to excessive radiation if they eat them.

However, some bases have begun to breed radioactive rats as food. They use various technologies and drugs to eliminate radiation, reduce the number of radioactive rats to about 15%, and make them into canned meat.

Here, these canned meats sell very well and are the cheapest food besides energy synthesizers.

"Buzz!"

The sound of a car engine sounded. Helen, who was standing next to him, looked slightly changed and said anxiously, "Hide quickly! They are predators. They are the righteous hyenas in the wilderness. They will snatch everything they see!"

"No need to hide, there are combat robots here." Richard shook his head. With the Iron Golem here, what weapon in this world can kill it except nuclear weapons?
Soon, smoke and dust flew up, and three modified pickup trucks rushed over in a semi-encircled posture. The lookout on the pickup truck was very excited when he saw Richard and the Iron Golem next to him.

"Boss, we're going to make a fortune this time. That man is most likely fresh out of the shelter, and there's one of his robots next to him!"

"Hahaha, that's really lucky! Tell them to catch him alive!"

"By the way, how do we deal with that robot?" "Don't we still have an EMP bomb? Just hit him!"

"The men stay, and the women let everyone have some fun!"

"Roar!" Everyone roared, and some even fired a few shots into the air, looking very happy.

"Be careful of the EMP bomb." Seeing those people rushing over recklessly, Helen immediately thought of something and hurriedly reminded them.

The EMP bomb is actually an electromagnetic pulse bomb. After the explosion, it will directly interfere with electronic chips and burn the electronic components in various electronic devices. It is a weapon specifically used to deal with robots.

Unfortunately, they don't know that the Iron Golem is not a robot.
"Be careful, don't damage the car." Richard said.

The Iron Golem nodded slightly, then instantly started and rushed forward.

When the plunderers saw this, they fired an EMP bomb directly at the Iron Golem. As a result, when the bomb exploded, the Iron Golem was not paralyzed as they had imagined, but was not affected at all and rushed forward.

Before these people could react, a six-barreled gun suddenly appeared in the hands of the Iron Golem, and it started firing at the looters.

One of the pickup trucks was smashed into a hornet's nest, and the people inside were killed. One of the remaining two cars had its tires blown out, and the other lost control and crashed into a nearby dirt pile.

The people in the two cars picked up their weapons and jumped out. These people looked weird, with all kinds of tattoos and metal rings on their bodies. Almost all of them had mechanical modifications done to their bodies.

Some of them have mechanical legs, some have mechanical arms, and one person even has half of his head made of steel. In addition, these people have tumors on their bodies, making them look like they are parasitic, which is very disgusting.

These people are mentally unstable, many of them have been injected with biochemical drugs, genetic drugs, and mechanical modifications. These people are basically distorted by radiation, but they did not die, but their flesh and blood were distorted.

"How disgusting, just kill them all!" Richard said directly.

The Iron Golem took action immediately, holding a six-barreled Gatling Vulcan in one hand and an energy light blade in the other. Even though those people had deformed flesh and blood and had undergone mechanical modifications, they had no ability to resist the Iron Golem.

Gatling guns swept and energy blades slashed, and within a few minutes, all the predators were killed.

Richard came to one of the corpses. After the man died, the flesh and blood on his body immediately collapsed and twisted, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a pool of rotten meat.

Richard had the system scan them and found that the genes of these people had collapsed and the radiation pollution was extremely high. However, the mechanical prostheses next to them were a bit interesting. These people's mechanical prostheses had actually achieved nerve connection.

Helen was so shocked when she saw the Iron Golem kill these plunderers in a few moves that it took her a while to come back to her senses.

Then he quickly picked up the tools to replace the tire of the car with a flat tire. Richard asked the Iron Golem to collect the weapons and equipment that could be used and then load them into the pickup truck.

Next, Helen drove Richard back to the camp. Helen, who was in charge of driving, glanced at Richard from time to time, and then looked at the iron golem running outside the car.

This kind of combat robot is too strong, much stronger than the military's combat robots. The military's combat robots can't resist EMP, their movements are not flexible enough, and they can't defend against large-caliber machine guns.

The robot in front of me is terrifyingly powerful.

It is precisely because of these shortcomings of military robots, coupled with the high cost, that many warlords use cyborg warriors. Those cyborgs don't have much thought, but they are fearless and fight tenaciously. It is also because of these cyborg warriors that warlords and chaebols can suppress others.

There were a lot of things in the looters' cars, the most of which were weapons, followed by food. These foods were processed and had very low radiation pollution, and only those gathering places of warlords and chaebols could produce them.

If humans consume these foods and water, the radiation level will exceed the standard in a few months, and it can be treated with anti-radiation tablets. Of course, the food and water used by the upper class are even cleaner.

The higher the degree of food purification, the higher the cost. But so far there is no method that can completely purify radiation.

Richard looked through the looters' supplies and soon found some purple injections.

"What is this?" Richard asked while holding the injection.

"Purple Enchantress!" Helen then said, "A genetic drug that can be directly injected into the human body to give people more powerful strength."

"Are there any side effects?" Richard asked.

"The side effects are very serious. Although this gene drug can improve strength, there is a high chance of gene collapse and direct death. Even if it succeeds, special hallucinogenic drugs are needed to suppress gene collapse. Only a few people can achieve perfect integration."

"But even though this thing has many shortcomings, many wilderness hunters and predators choose to use it! It's expensive."

Richard asked the system to set up an analysis task, and soon the analysis of the injection was completed. After practicing the creation of creatures in the creation myth of Ilúvatar in Middle-earth, Richard's biological bloodline genes had made great progress.

The genetic medicine was quickly analyzed and then reconfigured and optimized.

The wasteland has almost become a place of chaos, and those tycoons and warlords will deliberately sell a large number of addictive drugs, and even add some flavorings to cigarettes. This practice is to paralyze those people to serve them.

With the car, the two of them drove very fast. There were almost no roads in the wilderness, and the few ruins that existed were in a dilapidated state. Many creatures had become extinct, and most of the surviving creatures had some deformities and mutations.

After the nuclear explosion, human industry suffered a devastating blow, and almost all ground bases were rebuilt later. Although the technology in some places looks very advanced and sci-fi, many industrial products can no longer be produced, or can only be produced in small quantities.

Cars are one of them. Those bases can produce a small number of cars, and most of the cars driven by scavengers are pieced together with parts. The lifespan of many cars has exceeded 100 years. There is no ability to produce cars, so they can only be pieced together with various parts.

Gasoline is also precious and refineries are few and far between.

But at the same time, this world has high-capacity batteries, and one battery can almost allow a car to run five or six thousand kilometers.

The two drove all the way to the camp and finally arrived back before dark.

When he arrived near the camp, Richard was a little disappointed. The camp in front of him was not a city, not even a town. In Richard's opinion, it was like a huge recycling station, with all kinds of garbage piled up, old containers and barbed wire as walls. There were two armed guards guarding the door.
