stay in the wasteland

Chapter 1 This is Earth, can you believe it?

Around winter time.

The dense (yinyun) smoke and dust, like the smog before the catastrophe, enveloped the whole world.

The land is barren, thousands of miles away, and occasionally yellow sand swirls.

And somewhere in a human gathering place, a furry monkey was sitting alone on the dilapidated roof, holding a potted plant the size of a teacup in a daze.

But I saw that the plant in the pot was crystal clear, it was a small grass without floral fragrance.

The emerald green leaves are covered with a layer of translucent material that looks like crystals.

"Plant crystallization."

Chen Ya murmured, and couldn't help looking into the distance. His eyes passed through rows of messy shacks, and finally settled on a giant wall made of concrete.

The wall is hundreds of meters high, and its surface is mottled. Although it is concrete, some exposed areas reflect a silver-gray metallic luster.

That's the lead sheet added to the wall.

Then, Chen Ya looked up at the sky and immediately saw a shocking scene.

A brightly lit city is actually floating in the sky.

That's right!

It was a huge floating city, completely covering the entire gathering place, even the sky was blocked.

Chen Ya's eyes were dull. Even after three days, there was still a look of shock in his eyes. He couldn't believe that human beings possessed such technology.

This is too sci-fi!

Quack...quack...

At this moment, a harsh croaking sound suddenly came from outside the wall.

Chen Ya, who was sitting on the roof, quickly looked over.

I saw a group of dark and dense strange birds approaching the gathering place rapidly, the number of which was at least several hundred.

"Raven?"

Chen Ya said in surprise, but to be precise, it should be a mutated raven, because the wingspan of those strange birds all exceeded 2 meters, and some individuals even had a wingspan close to 5 meters.

The mutated raven is coming in a menacing manner, but it seems to be very afraid of the floating city. It only dares to fly towards the gathering place, obviously intending to leap over the wall and attack the human refuge.

Such a scene made Chen Ya's heart shudder.

Fortunately, the attack of the mutated raven also triggered the defensive weapons of the gathering place, and hundreds of orange-red rays of light were shot from the giant wall.

The rays of light intersected each other, forming a powerful firepower net, instantly causing countless ravens to scream, and then they were covered in flames, falling from the sky like dumplings.

With just one salvo, the number of mutated ravens was reduced by half.

In less than ten seconds, after three volleys, the flock of ravens was completely wiped out, leaving only burning feathers floating in the wind in the sky.

"Is that a laser?"

Chen Ya's eyes were straightened. Even though he was still far away, he could still smell the burnt smell in the air. He immediately swallowed, gritted his teeth and asked:

"This is Earth, can you believe it?"

The first is the change in the plants. The potted plant in Chen Ya's hand was brought back by the original owner of this body from the wasteland world outside the wall.

According to his observations, the transparent substance covering the surface of this grass should be a plant active enzyme crystal. Its function is to reduce the probability of heavy metal poisoning, fully collect light energy and store water, making the plant more drought-resistant.

As for the concrete walls of the gathering place, the lead plates added inside are naturally used to isolate radiation, because lead, a metal element, not only has good corrosion resistance, but is also a radiation-proof material.

And the group of mutated ravens that were killed looked very terrifying. As a bird of the passerine genus, after an unknown mutation, its size was even bigger than a raptor.

Wouldn't it be the same as a fighter jet if it was a golden eagle known as the 'King of Raptors'?
Chen Ya was a little confused and had to admit that the world had changed.

What produced this change was radiation, the ubiquitous radiation, and various radioactive elements. Chen Ya took a deep breath, and the smell in the air was slightly bitter, which was the smell of nuclear radiation.

Three days ago, Chen Ya woke up from this world. The location was the dilapidated shack under his feet. The original owner of this body was a scavenger who lived at the bottom.

Because the life was too poor, the original owner ventured out to pick up waste and went to the wasteland world outside the wall, but when he came back, he was seriously ill, and then... there was no more.

Just hang up!
It should be that he was exposed to a large dose of radiation, which eventually caused his body to collapse. Even now, Chen Ya still feels a dull pain in his body, and there is probably a problem with some internal organs.

And through the memories of the original owner and Chen Ya's observations over the past three days, he gradually discovered that the earth is still the same earth, but the environment has undergone earth-shaking changes.

About a hundred years ago, an unprecedented nuclear war broke out in the world, which eventually led to the collapse of the earth's ecology. A large amount of soot and radioactive dust entered the earth's atmosphere, causing the surface temperature to drop.

Since then, for half a century in the future, the earth has entered a nuclear winter.

As the leader of this catastrophe, human beings naturally received due punishment. At that time, more than 70 billion people in the world died in half of them in the nuclear war alone.

By the time human beings wake up, it is already too late. The changes in the global climate can only make the remaining human beings hide in the underground fortifications to survive.

But human beings always yearn for light, and it is impossible to live underground for a lifetime.

Half a century later, human beings returned to the surface, facing the devastated earth, and began to try every means to fight against nuclear radiation and improve the earth's environment, but unfortunately it was all futile after all.

Because once a nuclear war breaks out, it is irreversible. Even after the nuclear winter has passed, various radioactive substances still exist in the air. After all, the half-life of nuclear radiation can last for hundreds of years.

This also led to the spread of diseases. Under the influence of large doses of radiation, humans who returned to the surface began to suffer from internal bleeding, leukemia, cancer, cataracts, and other diseases.

Obviously, humans want to make up for their mistakes, but the cost of making up for mistakes is always more painful than the mistakes themselves.

However, it's not the worst.

As nuclear radiation flooded the whole world, the original ecological chain of the earth has undergone fundamental changes. Various creatures have mutated, and countless mutated animals have emerged one after another, which greatly threatens the safety of human beings.

Fortunately, humans still have technology.

In the time that followed, all human beings united together, technology made a substantial leap forward, floating cities sprang up, and many scientific and technological weapons that were conceptual in the past were developed one after another.

It's a pity that it still doesn't have much effect on improving the earth's environment.

As for the environment, after the catastrophe, the once azure planet has now become barren, thousands of miles away, all cities have been reduced to ruins, and even the area of ​​the ocean has shrunk a lot.

In just a hundred years, the total number of humans was less than one-tenth of what it was before the nuclear war, and the surviving humans had more or less mutated in some way.

Strictly speaking, today's human beings are no longer human beings in the traditional sense. They should be called mutants, or mutants.

such as……

The current Chen Ya is a mutant, with golden hair all over his body, and looks like a furry golden monkey.

"Mo Dan, turned into a monkey!"

The corners of Chen Ya's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help stretching out his furry hand to scratch his ear. He felt like a monkey. According to the previous life, it was probably an atavism phenomenon.

Even though he said this, Chen Ya was still a little lucky, because through these three days of observation, he found that many mutants were deformed, so he was considered good.

The world we live in now is the wasteland world a hundred years after the nuclear war.

How many years have passed, Chen Ya is not clear, because the memory left by this body is very chaotic, and even his thinking is not a normal person.

Because the IQ of the original owner...

something wrong.

Simply put, it is mentally handicapped!

After all, nuclear radiation is everywhere, even in gathering places, the radiation content far exceeds the normal value before the catastrophe. Although the human body has mutated, the resistance to radiation has been greatly improved.

But the hazards of nuclear radiation are far beyond imagination.

The most intuitive impact, apart from physical variation, is intelligence and longevity.

The decline in lifespan is certain. The mutants in the current gathering place usually live no more than 40 years old, and the original owner of Chen Ya's body is a mentally handicapped child living at the bottom.

He was only 12 years old, and Chen Ya didn't know who his parents were in his memory. Anyway, he was one of the orphans in the refuge, so his parents probably weren't there anymore.

After all, in such a big environment, it is not bad to be alive.

Chen Ya didn't have any intentions to find the parents of this body. In fact, he was very depressed now, even said to be depressed.

You know, before he came to this world, he was still a well-known wilderness anchor, the outdoor first brother of a certain cat platform, because of an accident during an expedition to Tibet, he came to the future world in a daze.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, and the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The golden monkey sitting on the roof was speechless for a long time.

No, it was Chen Ya. He was speechless for a long time, his thoughts began to fly, and his heart was full of emotions.

Once, he broadcast live on Qingfeng Mountain, chasing and killing Tibetan mastiffs with a pickaxe.

Once, he traveled upstream in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and with Pipi Otter, he bravely climbed the peak.

Once, he singled out Shennongjia and traveled alone on the Sichuan-Tibet line.

Those pasts seemed to emerge one by one before Chen Ya's eyes.

Remember that him?
