Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 15 Ruins Village
Before leaving for Thunder City, Qi Lin took out some supplies from his backpack, intending to replenish his satiety and water before setting off.

While chewing the compressed biscuits that taste much better than reality, I thought: the game is still a game after all, there are many details related to survival, and the work is still not perfect.

Taking food as an example, no matter what it is, as long as the radiation is safe, edible, and non-toxic, it can be converted into the satiety of the character's attributes in an equivalent amount. In reality, it is not that simple.

If you only eat one kind of food all the time, then all kinds of problems will follow.

Like the most basic food in the slums - the scientific name is "CN39-type synthetic ration". As the name suggests, this is something invented by the research institute of Huaxia District in 2039. It is a food similar to milky white paste, with little taste It is bland and tasteless. When you eat it, you only need to add water and heat it into gruel, and you can eat it. Of course, you can eat it directly, but the taste is similar to soap.

This synthetic food only contains starch and a small amount of protein. As for the various minerals and vitamins needed by the human body, ordinary people can only maintain them through some small pills rationed by the shelter.

In the nautical films of the old days, pirates are always inseparable from oranges. This is also the reason why people are extremely prone to sepsis because of the lack of vitamin C supply at sea.

There is not much land available for cultivation in the underground world, and almost all the farm output is only consumed by the wealthy areas. Among other things, the cost of sunlight, humidity, temperature, etc. simulated by high-tech equipment, As a result, the prices of those grains, vegetables and fruits have almost skyrocketed.

Meat is fine. Genetically modified poultry and livestock are basically not difficult to feed as long as the feed supply is sufficient, even if they live underground with insufficient light and harsh environment, but the reproductive rate is much lower than before the end of the world.Moreover, as a substitute for meat, the price of soybean protein is also affordable for ordinary poor people, but fruits, in this era, are really equated with luxury goods.

Qi Lin still remembered that the last time he ate fruit was half a year ago. It cost him a hundred resource points to buy it from the black market. It was a shriveled apple with black skin and wrinkled skin.

"I can't eat it in reality, I hope I can satisfy my appetite in the game..." Qi Lin looked up at the sky, the grayish-yellow radiation cloud still blocked most of the sunlight. It is difficult for plants to survive, but for some tenacious varieties, it is enough.

Moreover, there are so many mutated plants, and there are always varieties that are edible and taste good. Among other things, the Chinese people are definitely the most powerful race on earth when it comes to eating.

After wrapping the leftover biscuits and putting them back in his backpack, Qi Lin drank two more sips of water, then jumped on the off-road vehicle and started the engine.

He didn't plan to go directly to Thunder City, but decided to collect some materials that could be traded in the wilderness first. At that time, it would be good to exchange for weapons, food, or directly exchange them for resource points.

The powerful engine of the off-road vehicle let out a roar, Qi Lin only felt the seat pushed on his back suddenly, and the whole vehicle rushed out quickly.

Qi Lin secretly sighed in his heart: Every time he drives this modified super off-road vehicle, he is so refreshing.

However, after less than 10 minutes of enjoying himself, Qi Lin couldn't feel refreshed—the red warning light for insufficient fuel lit up on the dashboard. According to the calculation of the brain, the remaining fuel in the fuel tank can continue to drive for one more time. About five or six kilometers.

Using gasoline to drive the rocket thrusters... This consumption rate is really too fast.

The previous car owner didn't seem to have considered this issue at all. Qi Lin searched the entire car, even found a box of high-end latex condoms under the rear seats, but found no sign of a spare oil drum.

Before the last gas station passed by the Radiation Lake, Qi Lin had checked it a long time ago. There was only a layer of oil residue similar to silt in the underground oil tank, which could not be used without purification and distillation.

As for the small nuclear reactor...Nuclear fuel is not available in general places. Huaxia uranium reserves are not large, and most of the nuclear fuel before the war relied on imports. When it comes to nuclear power plants, the nearest nuclear power plant to Qi Lin is located in the old site of LYG in northern Jiangsu. It is even further away than the Thunder City at the former site of Xuzhou.

"Where are you going to get gasoline in this wilderness?"

Qi Lin kicked the door of the car a little depressed, and then found that he was still holding the box of condoms that he dug out by himself.

"Threads? Bumps? Delay? Rich people have a lot of tricks, but don't you know the belt sleeves and don't you know that you don't know how to bring some spare gasoline—"

Throwing the condom into the car window, Qi Lin was not willing to throw it away. Although he didn't know if there was such a thing as pregnancy in the game, at least he could sell it for money if he took it to Thunder City.

After disguising the off-road vehicle, Qi Lin strolled for a few kilometers, and finally found some traces of human life.

It was the ruins of a small village, and the buildings had basically collapsed, leaving only a ruined wall that averaged less than half a person's height.

"In the countryside...there should be generators, and farm machinery needs fuel, hopefully not all diesel."

This off-road vehicle uses a gasoline engine. Due to the existence of rocket propellers, the problem of gasoline engines with low power due to small torque has been basically solved, and higher speeds can bring higher acceleration, but In this way, if Qi Lin finds diesel oil, he can only hope and sigh.

The working principle of gasoline engine and diesel engine is completely different. The gasoline engine sucks in the oil-air mixture and compresses it, and then ignites it with a spark plug, while the diesel engine uses a high-pressure nozzle to atomize and compress the diesel oil, allowing it to ignite by itself. There is no such thing as a spark plug.

Using the wrong fuel is not only easy to stall and break down, but also damages the engine. Without this off-road vehicle, Qi Lin does not want to cross almost the entire Jiangsu Province with his own feet.

The small village was affected by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, and after another three years of nuclear winter, the bricks and stones fired in the earthen kiln were so fragile that Qi Lin turned them into powder with a light touch of his fingers. what is available.

However, Qi Lin didn't care at all, because, you know, in the rural areas of China, most people have such a thing as a "cellar".

Almost all the villages on the ground were wiped out by the nuclear explosion, but the underground things should be preserved quite well. Even because of the thick layer of soil, the radiation concentration in the cellar will not be too high, just like a disguised of refuge.

However, Qi Lin does not think that there will be living people in the cellar. In order to store things, the oxygen concentration in the cellar is generally relatively low. Moreover, even if someone brings in oxygen generators and activated carbon for evacuation, there will never be any living people in the cellar. Enough food and water to survive a nuclear winter for three years.

Sure enough, when Qi Lin found the first cellar and opened it, a faint stench pervaded the air.

This is a smell emitted by the slow decay of the mummy in a closed environment. Since the radiation is isolated, there will be no zombies and living dead such as zombies in the cellar.

Qi Lin waited until the air inside and outside circulated, took out a lighter, lit it, and slowly stepped on the decayed ladder that creaked every step he took.

"I hope I can find something useful."
