[This chapter is fast!]
In terms of radiation resistance, Lin Sanjiu was no different from a normal person.
From the moment she was transported to Garden of Eden to the moment her bodily functions collapsed, it probably took less than ten minutes.
In just ten minutes, her symptoms had quickly become life-threatening. One could only imagine how terrifying the radiation in this world was.
Every muscle in her body was like a towel, twisting in pain. Her fever flared up without any warning, causing her skin to burn. Every time she turned her head, a handful of hair would fall. Blood seeped out from Lin Sanjiu's nostrils, ears, and the corner of her mouth, but she wasn't even aware of it.
High temperature adaptation, enhanced stamina … None of them could improve her condition. Lin Sanjiu suddenly coughed out another mouthful of blood and fell into a hazy state.
The duoluozhong behind the oasis were also humans before they entered Hyperthermal Hell. However, they did not evolve to "High Temperature Adaptation" in time, causing them to become duoluozhong.
Unfortunately, Lin Sanjiu was now in the same situation.
This was because her body did not develop any radiation resistance.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Sanjiu slowly opened her eyes and closed them again. Just as her bodily functions were about to dry up and her consciousness was fading, she understood one thing. She would not develop any radiation resistance.
She never knew that her body could transmit information to her brain so clearly when she was on the brink of death. It wasn't that her Potential Growth Value wasn't high enough, but she was limited by the defects in her genes. Lin Sanjiu was not born with such an ability.
Everyone had countless defective genes in their body. Lin Sanjiu just didn't expect her genes to work so quickly.
The face of death suddenly became clear to her. It was like her mother, who sat at her bedside when she was young.
Lin Sanjiu wasn't afraid of death.
She was just worried that death wasn't the end for her. She was afraid that after she died, her corpse would stand up shakily and walk alone in this strange world with a deformed face due to the radiation.
Her consciousness slipped out of her fingers like a soapy bar of soap. Behind her was the darkness of death. Just as Lin Sanjiu's eyes were about to be engulfed by the darkness, a figure appeared in her blurry vision.
If I were the heroine of a novel, this person must be here to save me.
She used the last bit of her strength to play a joke on herself, and then fainted again.
The man who approached her was wearing what looked like a motorcycle helmet. His eyes scanned the woman on the ground from the back of the helmet's glass cover.
It was obvious that he was a newcomer.
In this highly radioactive world, not only was he not wearing any protective gear, he was only wearing a singlet. Most of his skin was exposed to the air that was filled with radiation. Of course, no one in this world would care about Lin Sanjiu's life or death. The person wearing the helmet had come here for another reason.
The helmeted man squatted down and scrutinized her body. When his gaze fell on Lin Sanjiu's bandages, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I know you're not dead yet, so I'm sorry," the helmeted man suddenly said in a low voice. His voice was unclear behind the helmet. "Since you're a dead person, you don't have any Special Items, right?"
As he spoke, he took off his gloves. He lifted Lin Sanjiu's chin and pressed on her bandages. Sure enough, he could feel the hard texture of the Pygmalion Choker.
The helmeted man wasn't in a hurry to take anything. Instead, he held her shoulders and flipped her over. Then, he reached his hand into her back pocket as if he was looking for something else.
A few seconds later, he fell on Lin Sanjiu with a thud and breathed his last. Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief when she felt the impact of the fall.
Due to the effects of the [Versu Poison], the blood that seeped from the helmeted man's face and body dripped onto the glass of the helmet and flowed out.
Two motionless corpses lay on top of each other in the gray world.
The corpses were not far from the glass dome. As Lin Sanjiu's body was rapidly deteriorating, she didn't even have the time to take a few steps before she fell to the ground.
Inside the glass dome, a few people with ruddy and clean faces stopped and pointed at the two corpses. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what they were talking about before they turned around and went their separate ways.
In the silence, only the whistling of the wind could be heard, rustling the jet-black grass. A few ugly beetles the size of a human head crawled out from the grass and approached the two of them. They waved their antennae a few times and when they were about to approach them, they were startled by a long inhale. They quickly crawled back into the soil.
The inhale carried the hoarseness and exhaustion of the damaged vocal cords. It was as if the owner of the inhale hadn't breathed in air for a long time. Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes.
A few seconds after she opened her eyes, she realized that her body wasn't in so much pain anymore. When she choked on the blood in her throat and coughed, she realized that the blood had stopped gushing out. Even though her body was still in pain, her fever seemed to be subsiding.
However, Lin Sanjiu knew very well that she still hadn't developed any anti-radiation ability.
"What's going on?"
She thought about it in a daze for a while. She felt that the reason why she was pulled back from the brink of death must be the dead man.
Lin Sanjiu lay on the ground for a while. She could feel her heart pounding hard, trying to inject some strength into her body. When she could move her hands again, she struggled to pull down the helmeted man's backpack.
The cover of the backpack wasn't closed properly, and a handful of transparent balls that were flashing red rolled out and landed on the ground. It seemed that they were the food that the young man had bought from the vending machine in the glass ball city.
Lin Sanjiu grabbed one of the balls. It was extremely elastic, and in less than a second, it turned into a card.
[Radiation Resistant Gummies V2.0]
An anti-radiation snack developed by Garden of Eden Laboratory. It is guaranteed that natural fruit juices and vitamin C are not added. It tastes like leather shoes and will not break even if you bite it. It also gives off a fishy, low-quality saccharin taste. After consuming this product, your body's anti-radiation ability will be greatly increased for a short period of time. As this product is not the latest version, it will only be effective for about three days. You need to consume it regularly. Please consume at least ten pills each time.
Note: This gummies can only be used as a supplement. Please use it with other anti-radiation methods for better results.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly summoned a surge of energy out of nowhere and swallowed the ball that she had just unconverted into a card. Then, she searched the ground desperately for the gummy candy that she had dropped earlier. Soon, sweat beaded on her forehead. She was pressed under the helmeted man's corpse, and her body was weak. She could only move one of her arms. Fortunately, she managed to find seven to eight gummies. She immediately stuffed them all into her mouth.
Even though there were less than ten gummies, Lin Sanjiu felt a surge of vitality spreading from her abdomen. Her dizziness and headache were instantly alleviated. She felt much better.
She lay on the ground, gasping for air. She could feel the green life returning to her veins once again. Looking at the gloomy sky filled with clouds of radiation, a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
Even those who were not afraid of death did not want to die.
Lin Sanjiu pushed the helmeted man's corpse away, panting. She slowly sat up, leaving a bloody human-shaped mark on the ground.
"What saved my life before I ate the gummies?" Lin Sanjiu soon found the answer to this question.
The black helmet was still sitting quietly on the ground, but the human head and the body connected to it had disappeared. Lin Sanjiu held a card with a dead man drawn on it. She lowered her head and read the words on the back of the card.
[Er Dao's Corpse]
Name: Er Dao
Race: Human
Status: Dead
Potential Value: 152
Suspect: Lin Sanjiu
Basic Abilities: High Radiation Adaptation, Enhanced Stamina, Eagle Eye, Body Modification
Advanced Abilities: Mad Dog, Radiation Dispersal of Blood Particles
Even though [Mad Dog] had a strange name, it was nothing special. It was just an ability that greatly increased one's speed. However, the other ability was very intriguing.
"Radiation Dispersal of Blood Particles?" Lin Sanjiu blinked her eyes hard. Her vision was still a little blurry due to the severe radiation damage she had just received. After confirming that she was not mistaken, she couldn't help looking at the details of the advanced ability.
[Radiation Dispersal of Blood Particles]
It can produce a type of microscopic particle in one's blood that can immediately dispel 60% of the radiation in one's body. If one only had the ability "High Radiation Adaptation", one's body would still be exposed to moderate radiation waves. In the long run, it would be harmful to one's body. Aside from protecting one's health, this particle could also be used to spray it on the body of a mutated creature.
After dispersing 60% of the radiation in the body of the mutated creature, its power would be greatly reduced. The effect could only last for a day. It could be said that this was an ability that ignored the basic laws of science.
"No wonder …" Realization dawned on Lin Sanjiu. Looking at the blood on her arm, she felt very complicated.
The man called Er Dao probably came to search her body when he saw that she was on the verge of death. However, he didn't expect that after he touched Lin Sanjiu's skin, he would die because of Usu Poison. Then, the blood that flowed out of his body dripped on Lin Sanjiu's body and dispelled 60% of the radiation...
Lin Sanjiu stood rooted to the ground for a while. Then, she sighed and opened Er Dao's backpack.
