To the northwest of Dragon City, there is a continuous lake.
The huge lakes are connected one after another.
From the lake, you can't see the other shore at all.
It is completely a boundless ocean.
The two off-road vehicles drove along the border of the giant lake, covering hundreds of kilometers in a few days.
The terrain around the lake is flat and there is sufficient water, so patches of mutated forests grew in the decades after the war.
However, the lake water continues to absorb and gather radioactive materials, so the lakeshore area, like the seaside, is an area of high radiation.
Even living corpses with incomplete mutations cannot survive, and those who have no ability and can only rely on mutated tissues to resist radiation cannot settle here.
This formed an extremely wide uninhabited area.
Even for organizations like the Black Dragonriders or the Scorpions of Disaster, it is not easy to establish a large base in a strong radiation area.
It would take more than ten years to build a city like Dragon City.
The accumulation of countless wealth.
Apart from anything else, Dragon City's radiation neutralization force field alone requires two supercritical generator sets of more than 5 million kilowatts to supply energy.
The off-road vehicle travels along the uninhabited land on the south bank of the lake.
Su and Madeline drove the first car to explore the road ahead, and Li Gaolei, Li and Quinn followed in the second car.
In this area of strong radiation, both Su and Madeline were completely insensible to radiation.
After Li Gaolei fused some of Su's genes, his resistance to radiation also increased significantly.
Li Gaolei herself is a combat domain ability user.
She naturally has a certain degree of resistance to radiation.
After deciding to escape with Su, she invested all her existing evolutionary points in elemental resistance in the field of defense, and upgraded this ability to a fourth-level ability.
Therefore, she not only improved her tolerance to various types of radiation, but also greatly improved her tolerance to complex environments.
This is one of the most critical abilities in a protracted battle in the wild.
Li and Li Gaolei now only need to take a small dose of anti-radiation medicine orally once a day to be fine.
The only weak link on the team is Quinn.
His main ability is actually the shaping of auxiliary abilities.
He can be said to be an expert in mechanics, engineering, and electronics.
His fighting and magic-like abilities are not outstanding.
Therefore, you need to constantly take anti-radiation drugs to survive in the no-man's land.
When he escaped, Su was not fully prepared, so he had an excessive amount of fuel and energy reserves but very little medicine.
Therefore, after three days, due to the lack of anti-radiation drugs, we had to turn around and head south, away from the strong radiation area.
We drove like this for another day and night, and finally a settlement appeared in our field of vision.
Only a place where people who grew up in the wilderness gather is called a settlement.
They have no energy, no clean water, no reliable defense facilities, and not enough force.
In the settlement, food is always the most important subject.
The order of the settlement is maintained by pure force.
In most settlements, a revolver that can still fire is synonymous with strength.
If you own a semi-automatic rifle and happen to have more than a dozen bullets in the gun, you can become the highest in the settlement without any doubt. of rulers.
The order of the settlement is similar to that of a pride of lions.
Neither the family nor the species is important.
Only the will of the Lion King is everything.
As long as the lion king is willing, he can mate with any female in the colony, unless the male lion protecting the female has power that the lion king is also afraid of.
The settlement that appeared in Su's field of vision had about five to six hundred people, which was considered a medium-sized settlement.
Looking at the simple fence made of thin iron sheets and wooden boards, as well as the low shacks with air leakage from all sides, Su felt familiar, but it was by no means pleasant.
In fact, in Su's memory, everything related to the settlement was not pleasant.
Almost every time Su entered an inhabited area, there would be some minor troubles.

Bullying and plundering outsiders who seemed to have little strength was a common feature of almost every inhabited area.
Here, chaos is actually the only anecdote, and dead people are a common occurrence.
After joining the Black Dragonriders, Su Cai experienced a highly civilized life for the first time and felt the huge changes brought about by rules and laws.
Although behind the strict hierarchy and authority, the theme is still that strength determines everything.
But with rules and laws, there is a cornerstone for adjudicating conflicts.
Fighting and fighting are no longer the only solutions.
Although there will always be undercurrents under the light, and all rules will be deformed in the face of strong strength, it is still there after all, can still play a role, and will also impose certain restrictions and constraints on the strong.
Su already had a deep understanding of this point.
Therefore, even though he almost died in the training base when he first joined the Black Dragonriders, he still felt that compared to the wilderness, Dragon City was a paradise.
A paradise for a select few.
The wilderness is a naked world where you can do anything to survive.
Human beings have barely survived the catastrophe of war.
Even though there is radiation and desolation everywhere, even though food is never enough, and even though clean water has become the most precious wealth, human beings still survive, and their numbers are still growing tenaciously.
However, in this era of survival, the so-called dignity has become something that only exists in the dictionary.
Now, Su had returned to such a world, such a wilderness, and returned to the place where he had lived since he could remember.
Two off-road vehicles parked in an open space a few hundred meters away from the settlement.
Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the residents of the settlement.
People in ragged clothes walked out of their residences one by one, focusing their wolf-like eyes on the off-road vehicles.
When Li and Madeline got off the off-road vehicle, Su could clearly see the obvious changes in the lower bodies of the men in the settlement, and even heard a few loud whistles.
Although his expression remained unchanged, his eyes had changed a bit.
Sen Leng.
When you see the off-road vehicle, you should know that these people possess far from the primitive level of technology and weapons of the settlement.
It can even be said bluntly that the two sides are completely in two different eras.
However, the men in this settlement actually expressed their desire for Madeline and Li in person.
They were either ignorant, relying on something, or really just He lives only by instinct.
No matter which one it is, it means trouble for Su.
He doesn't like killing unless he has to, but in the wilderness, the only thing that can make people fear is naked killing.
When we stopped at this settlement, on the one hand, we wanted to understand the environment in the surrounding area, such as whether there were any major forces, or if there were any dangerous areas that required special attention.
On the other hand, we wanted to see if we could find any resistance.
Radiation medicine.
As long as you have the medicine, you can return to the no-man's land, and the people sent by Bebraz to hunt you will not be able to find your whereabouts so easily.
Quinn's physique is relatively weak, and he did not participate in the battle because he activated the base alone, so he has no evolutionary points to invest in protective capabilities.
And without enough medicine, it is impossible to enter the high-radiation no-man's land.
Although it is unlikely to find anti-radiation drugs in the settlement, it is always worth trying.
After leaving Quinn to guard the off-road vehicle, Su led a group of people into the settlement in front of them.
The settlement is not large in size and is composed of simple shacks.
There is a two-story building built on the highest ground, which is where the leader lives.
There is also a bar, a clinic, and even a small hotel.
The settlement is considered very clean, unlike other places where garbage is everywhere and the stench is sky-high.
Su walked into the bar, casually ordered some food and a bottle of wine, and then asked the owner of the bar, an old and wretched man, where he could exchange medicines and what kind of organizations and forces were around him.
There was no universal currency in the wilderness, so what Su was going to use to pay was 9 bullets.
These bullets had a wide range of uses and were used as hard currency everywhere.
What the old man served was typical wilderness food, grilled mutated creature meat skewers and low-alcohol wine with low levels of radiation.
As for what kind of meat the kebabs are made from, according to Su's past experience, it's best not to know, otherwise it will definitely affect your appetite.
Facing the charred roasted meat, which did not taste good at all, and whose origin was questionable, Su and Madeline ate with concentration and ease, as if they were having the best steak cooked properly in front of them.

Su no longer wrapped his whole body with bandages.
Although Madeline always wore a hat, covering most of her face, just a little bit of her appearance could definitely make half of Dragon City go crazy, not to mention a little kid in the wilderness.
Small settlement.
The contrast was too strong, making people inside and outside the bar stare straight at it.
Li Gaolei and Li were not particularly adapted to this kind of food.
After all, even the nutrients made people feel more comfortable than this kind of questionable meat.
But both of them ate their portions thoroughly.
From now on, this food should be a staple of life.
In contrast, Quinn, who was guarding the off-road vehicle, was much luckier.
His physique was relatively poor, so he still needed nutrients to maintain his strength.
Su had already inquired and found out that this settlement did not have high-end goods like anti-radiation medicines at all, but there was a larger settlement fifty kilometers to the west, which was a distribution center for medicines in the nearby area and should have anti-radiation medicines for sale.
After receiving such information, Su felt that this trip was worthwhile.
He placed two bullets on the table, and the old man immediately took away the bullets carefully with a look of surprise on his face.
Just by looking at the color and workmanship of these two bullets, you can tell that they are authentic products from a large factory.
They are not like those hand-polished items that have the problem of sometimes ringing and not ringing.
He had a revolver in his hand, and two more bullets equaled two more lives.
But Sue's settlement never had much luck.
At this moment, there was a bang, a big black hand slammed on the table, and then a strong bad breath hit my head, and then a hoarse voice sounded: "The bullets are good, but I want to be on my territory."
When you make a transaction, you have to pay taxes.
These two girls are pretty good, just treat it as the tax on this transaction
