stay in the wasteland

Chapter 17 "Guide to Surviving the Wasteland"

noon.

As soon as the subway arrived at Shelter 404, Xiaolong immediately ran to the place where he lived, apparently in a hurry to go back to eat jerky.

"This guy……"

Chen Ya was a little speechless, then looked at Big Nose and the others and said:
"Go home and meet me tomorrow morning."

"What are you doing tomorrow morning?"

Alex was a little curious, while Chen Ya said with a mysterious smile:
"Just come and do it!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Ya and his friends went home separately, but Zilin stopped him and said:
"little monkey."

"Ok?"

Chen Ya stopped and turned to look at Zi Lin.

"If you are short of money, just tell me, don't take the risk of picking up waste outside the wall like last time."

Zi Lin was full of worry, Niu Pi also nodded and said:
"That's right, if you lack money, just say, I still have a lot of steel coins that are useless."

Big Nose even punched Chen Ya in the chest, then glared and said:

“If you don’t have money in the future, just ask me for it!”

Even the stupid sick girl took out her purse and said:

"Give...give..."

Obviously, after the original owner of this body returned from the world outside the wall last time, the serious illness that happened at that time made the friends a little worried.

Chen Ya rubbed his chest, a little dumbfounded, but felt very warm inside, so he nodded and said:

"Don't worry, if you really lack money, I will tell you."

Hearing this, the four friends were relieved, and then went home.

But Chen Ya felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that in the era of radiation, there would still be the purest friendship. He immediately affirmed in his heart:

"In this life, I will protect you forever!"

Don't underestimate this sentence.

You know, Chen Ya was a fanatic in his previous life, now that he has friends, he will naturally protect them well.

……

squeak! ~
Not long after, Chen Ya opened the rusty iron door and saw his dilapidated shack, he could only shake his head and say:

"When you have money, you can change your life to a shed."

Chen Ya put down his back basket, took out a low-level nutrient, put it in his mouth, and then began to rummage through the pile of broken copper and iron.

Screwdrivers, needle nose pliers, vise...etc., these tools are all needed.

He planned to use the afternoon to disassemble the mechanical arm and the laser gun, and also make several trap cages.

There are many big black mice in the 404 shelter. Chen Ya found a lot of them a few days ago. Those mice are almost as big as hares. They are completely ready-made food.

That's why Chen Ya bought a bundle of barbed wire and a kilogram of low-quality jerky, planning to make a rat trap, and the jerky was used as bait.

After a while, the tools were found.

Chen Ya threw away the nutritional supplements that he had eaten up, and quickly went to work.

First of all, he took out the mechanical arm from the back basket, took a screwdriver and began to disassemble it. He has repaired car engines in his previous life, and he still has a certain foundation in mechanics.

After half an hour...

That mechanical arm was dismantled into a bunch of parts by Chen Ya, and several sensors were obtained. Just as he reached out to grab the laser gun, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

【drop! ~ May I ask the host, do you want to open the 'Newbie Survival Gift Pack'? 】

Chen Ya was taken aback for a moment, then he couldn't laugh or cry and said:
"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot!"

Regarding the novice gift pack, Chen Ya felt a little new. After all, this kind of benefit was not available in his previous life, and no one bothered him at the moment, so he nodded and said:

"Turn it on."

In the next second, a red gift box appeared before Chen Ya's eyes.

The surface of the box is shining with golden light, obviously there is a treasure inside.

"Kamang, give me [-] million waste earth coins!"

Chen Ya was excited, but after the gift box opened automatically, he didn't see a bottle cap. Instead, a book made of shimmering light appeared. Apparently he was overthinking it!

However, the properties of the book are:

[Book: "Guide to Surviving the Wasteland"]

[Type: knowledge, non-skill book]

[Introduction: After using this book, you will learn various survival skills in the wasteland world, including identifying known mutant creatures, and how to avoid dangers]

……

Wasteland Survival Guide?

Chen Ya's eyes widened and he immediately said in disappointment:

"Why not money?"

Obviously, Chen Ya wanted to see money more, but after seeing the content introduction, he immediately realized that he had won the big prize!
"The value of this book cannot be measured by money."

Chen Ya was very excited. After all, in the era of radiation, the most valuable thing was survival skills, which no amount of money could buy.

【drop! ~Has the host studied "Wasteland Survival Guide"? 】

"study."

Chen Ya affirmed, and then the books disappeared, and at the same time, a large amount of information, various survival techniques, and tens of millions of mutated creatures immediately appeared in his mind.

Countless information...

Start the overwhelming bombing!

For just a moment, Chen Ya was confused, and then he quickly closed his eyes to receive the information in his mind.

1 minute later.

Chen Ya was sweating all over, in addition to survival skills, all kinds of information on mutant creatures.

Like a giant ocean wave, madness churned in his mind.

Corrosive mosquitoes, wolftooth jumping spiders, wild ghouls, piggies, mud crabs, exploding trees, two-headed buffaloes, poisonous stingers, glowing wolves, shadow cats, land sharks...

Etc., etc……

What the hell are these?

The mutation data of various animals and plants almost drove Chen Ya crazy. Fortunately, the system immediately took protective measures.

【drop! ~Being hit by a large amount of information, the host will be in a coma for three hours. During the process of receiving the information, the system will escort you]

In the next second, Chen Ya rolled his eyes and passed out instantly.

three hours later.

Chen Ya gradually opened his eyes and felt a splitting headache at the same time, but what shocked him was the information in his mind.

Bark! ~
However, Chen Ya gasped, and said with fear on his face:

"This era is too dangerous!"

Leaving aside other things, there are many terrifying existences among mutant creatures alone.

such as……

land dragon
This is a terrifying creature that mutated from the Komodo dragon before the catastrophe, after being affected by nuclear radiation.

An adult land wyvern has a wingspan of more than [-] meters, can breathe flames or highly corrosive liquids, and is covered with scales that are harder than alloys, completely fearless of laser weapons.

If Chen Ya encounters this kind of creature, no matter how he runs, he will die.

In fact, even a hunter equipped with power armor, if he encounters an earth dragon...

You also have to kneel!

Of course, as long as this kind of horrible creature appears, the Floating Void City will send a fleet to exterminate it. No matter how powerful a single individual is, it is no match for the human armored army.

As for the biological information in Chen Ya's mind, there are more than 3000 million kinds, including land, sky, ocean, and some microorganisms.

From the perspective of biodiversity, it is undoubtedly three times that of the previous life. Before the catastrophe, there were only more than 1000 million species of all living things on the earth, including many endangered species.

But what shocked Chen Ya the most was...

These more than 3000 million species are not all!
After all, radiation is everywhere, and mutations are not directional, so the information is only the currently known species.

That is, the Earth today.

Mutations happen every minute and every second.

Even the current Chen Ya can distinguish more than 3000 million mutated creatures, if he goes to the wasteland world outside the wall, he may still encounter unknown species.

This is very scary!

But looking at it the other way around, aren't humans also mutating?
Chen Ya settled down. Currently in the shelter, he doesn't have to worry about being in danger for the time being. What he needs to think about now is how to make this body stronger.

At this moment, the system prompt sounded again in his mind.

【drop! ~ May I ask the host, whether to generate live broadcast equipment? 】

Chen Ya was taken aback. After seeing the content of the prompt, he immediately said speechlessly:
"Your uncle, you almost scared me to death!"

Regarding the live broadcast equipment, Chen Ya was still very curious, so he said:

"generate!"

In the next second, a cloud of liquid metal suddenly appeared in the void in front of Chen Ya. This scene was the same as in the previous life, but the difference was that the pool of liquid metal was actually divided into two parts.

However, one of the smaller parts quickly changed into a metal ball with dragonfly wings.

Obviously, this is the drone used for filming.

And another mass of liquid metal turned into a cross helmet similar to that of the Middle Ages.

The metal ball was nothing, but when Chen Ya saw the helmet, he opened his eyes wide and said:
"System, are you serious?"

It was a green helmet.

commonly known as...

green hat.

……

[PS: Pfft! ~Just kidding, the color of the helmet can be changed, don't worry. 】
