Chapter 253: Glowing Sea

The searchlight on the roof of the Leman Rust tank was always on, providing direction for the two women who went out for a walk.

"Hiss…"

A golden ring of fire appeared, spinning.

Jiang Yixia stepped out of the door, threw a huge green head on the ground, and shouted,

"Qingshan, come and see."

Fu Qinghai came out of the cabin and was slightly stunned when he saw the huge head on the ground.

Chen Xinlu explained:

"This monster tried to attack us, but was killed by Axia and I. What kind of monster is this?"

Jiang Yixia kicked the head and said:

"The look in his eyes was as if he had never seen a woman before. He rushed over and tried to grab us."

Fu Qinghai squatted on the ground and turned the head over to check.

His skin is like Dr. Lizard and his looks are like Shrek.

After a moment's silence, Fu Qinghai said:

"I think you may have misunderstood. This creature has no gender. It attacked you proactively, perhaps just to make you two become one of them."

No gender?

Chen Xinlu and Jiang Yixia looked at each other.

The two of them had never checked the area between the green giant's legs. No decent person would look there.

"Super mutants, I'm pretty sure."

Fu Qinghai stood up and made his conclusion.

Chen Xinlu frowned in confusion:

"Super mutant...does that mean they are stronger than mutants? Why don't I get the feeling?"

"No."

Fu Qinghai shook his head.

"Super mutants is just a term. It has nothing to do with the mutants in Marvel. They are humans infected with a virus called 'Forced Evolution Virus'. They retain human intelligence but lose their previous memories."

Fu Qinghai looked towards the deep darkness ahead, which was the direction leading to the mountain rift valley and also the destination of everyone's journey north.

"I have a rough idea of ​​where that 'blank area' on the map is."

Fu Qinghai said slowly.

…

In the pitch-black carriage.

Fu Qinghai lay on the floor, his hands folded behind his head, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, a hot and elastic body moved over, hugged him, and put a long leg around his waist. Jiang Yixia's face was pressed into Fu Qinghai's shoulders and neck, his thick hair covered the side of Fu Qinghai's face, and his warm breath was gently blowing on his neck.

Fu Qinghai reached out and patted her butt, and said softly:

"Stop it."

"Hmm~"

Jiang Yixia twisted her body:

"Let me hold you for a while."

Fu Qinghai sighed helplessly.

At this time, another delicate body moved over from the other side and hugged his other arm.

…

The sun rises and the sky becomes bright.

The crew members of My Little Pony were busy getting dressed, washing up, checking equipment, and making preparations before departure.

"Boom…"

Fu Qinghai started the vehicle and pulled the armored vehicle towards the rift valley. It took two hours to pass through the gap in the mountain range covered with gravel. The view in front of him suddenly opened up.

Behind the rift is a gentle hillside. Looking down the hillside, an endless huge basin, reflecting the morning mist and sunshine, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Jiang Yixia and Chen Xinlu were still observing the distant scenery through the periscope, but Fu Qinghai came to the auspicious array alone and began to operate the detection equipment.

"Geiger counter..."

Fu Qinghai muttered to himself and turned the button. The three-dimensional topographic map on the screen flickered and disappeared, and then a small green dot lit up on the screen, indicating that there was a strong radiation source there.

Then, as the instrument scanned deeper, the small green dots became more and more numerous and denser, gradually covering the entire screen!

Fu Qinghai looked at the small green dots that filled the screen.

He pulled the corner of his mouth: "I just knew it."

Fu Qinghai took out a map and a pencil, and wrote a term in the blank area that the perfect human had not marked:

"Luminous Sea."

…

The tank crew rushed down the gentle slope.

The speed exceeded 40km/h for the first time.

"When I saw that pistol, I thought there was something wrong. Who would assimilate such a homemade weapon from a wasteland world? I didn't expect it to be from the Fallout series."

There was some bumpiness inside the tank.

Fu Qinghai was driving the tank while holding the steering wheel and speaking to the crew members behind him.

"I roughly guess why there are no zombies or viruses here - because the radiation here is too strong."

Fu Qinghai said loudly.

Only in this way can the noise of the tanks be drowned out.

"The guy you met last night, a super mutant, is the product of ordinary humans being infected with a forced evolution virus. The story in the Fallout game mainly takes place in the wasteland of North America. There are two major types of super mutants: West Coast super mutants and East Coast super mutants. Since this is not the Fallout universe, I can't be sure which one it is."

Fu Qinghai introduced to his teammates.

The cell structure of super mutants is not much different from that of ordinary humans, but their division rate is about 15% faster than that of ordinary humans.

And all recessive genes in their genomes that can cause diseases (including cancer, diabetes, etc.) have been eliminated.

Their RNA is also altered by the FEV virus, causing it to transcribe faster, giving them superior recovery abilities.

"The Forced Evolution Virus, or FEV for short, is a virus developed by the United States in the background story of Fallout before the end of the world to counter China's biological weapons offensive. At first, they just wanted to make soldiers immune to all biological weapons, and then they were greedy and wanted to create super soldiers... As for the final result, as you can see, they failed."

"Super mutants are indeed much stronger than ordinary humans, but the side effects of the virus are also obvious: first, they lose their sexual characteristics and become infertile; second, their skin becomes rough and ugly, and their lips become so thick that they affect their speech and eating; and finally, they lose their memory, completely losing their memories before the virus transformation. This is very fatal for a soldier."

Fu Qinghai looked back at Jiang Yixia and said,

"I know what you two are worried about. Don't be afraid. The FEV virus requires a certain amount of exposure to infect you. For example, let's put you two in a bucket full of FEV virus."

More like a transformation than an infection.

As the tanks gradually approached the center of the basin, the sun in the sky gradually rose to its highest point. The midday sun scorched the dry earth. The dust raised behind the tanks could be seen from a long distance. The hot steam distorted the air. The yellow earth walls and gray watchtowers in the distance were also vaguely visible.

Fu Qinghai stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

The vibration and noise of the car body became louder.

Soon, a small town appeared in front of them.

Unlike the city ruins encountered before, the buildings here seem to be newly built, full of a strong wasteland punk style.

The tall city walls are made of abandoned steel frames and yellow mud. The mottled and rusted iron sheets form the outer shells of the ancillary buildings on the city walls, as well as water towers, chimneys and pipes. Nuclear explosions and meteorite impacts have left indelible marks on these pre-apocalyptic materials, but after being moved here and reassembled, they show a unique tenacious vitality and vitality.

"Swish—whoosh!"

Seeing the red flares rising behind the city wall, Fu Qinghai stepped on the brakes and stopped the tank decisively.

Different from the serious bias of the Resident Evil series, which only focuses on biochemical technology, Fu Qinghai clearly knows that although the Fallout series is also a wasteland civilization that has not even left the earth, their weapons technology is not bad at all.

In addition to traditional live ammunition weapons, laser weapons and plasma weapons overlap with the weapons technology of the Human Empire. There are even electromagnetic coil weapons, as well as less popular electromagnetic pulse weapons and freezing weapons.

In front of plasma, all are equal.

The same is true for the adamantium armor.

Therefore, Fu Qinghai's attitude seemed more cautious and he parked the tank 500 meters away from the city wall.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

A loud music sounded.

From the huge speakers hanging outside the city walls.

A homemade tin trumpet as big as a round table.

"Welcome, welcome to the reincarnation from afar. This is Shelter 76, Jacob Town, a harbor for travelers, a paradise after the end of the world. We hope you come in peace..."

Along with the hissing sound of electric current, a voice that was obviously recorded in advance was playing.

The sound quality is seriously lost, but the volume is loud enough.

"...An eyeball robot representing this town will come to communicate with you. This poor little guy is unarmed and poses no threat to you. If you want to enter Jacob Town, please do not attack it."

Vault 76...Jacob's Town...

Fu Qinghai thought that all the factors were really in place.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep…"

Accompanied by a burst of electronic sound, a spherical robot with a long and thin antenna flew out from behind the city wall, hovering in the air and flying towards the tank, making a "beeping" sound while flying.

Fu Qinghai opened the roof hatch, revealing half of his body.

The eyeball robot automatically flew in front of him.

A clearer female voice came from the front protective grille:

"Hello, guests from afar, welcome to Jacob Town. We provide shelter services and guarantee free trade for all reincarnations."

"The transactions here are conducted in the form of assimilation points and barter. You can obtain supplies including but not limited to fuel, weapons, and vehicle repair services in Jacob Town. If you need drinking water and food, we can also provide them for you, but first your body must be immune to at least 2,000 millisieverts of radiation."

"If you have a radio communication device in your vehicle, you can choose to access the shortwave communication band XXXX.kHz to communicate with us further."

After saying that, the eyeball robot kept silent.

Fu Qinghai retreated into the car, closed the roof hatch, turned on the radio and adjusted the frequency band.

"Squeak…squeak…"

After a burst of static.

"Hello, Reincarnator."

A hoarse male voice came from inside.

"Hello."

Fu Qinghai said.

"I saw your tank, great vehicle."

The hoarse male voice paused for a moment, then continued:

"You must be a very powerful reincarnation. Tell me why you came to Jacob Town."

"I demand the same treatment as other reincarnations."

Fu Qinghai said.

"Hehe." The other party laughed:

"Yes. We allow weapons, but vehicles are not allowed into the town. Follow ED-F, oh, that eyeball robot, it will lead you to the parking lot."

"Have a nice day."

The communication was disconnected.

Fu Qinghai leaned closer to the periscope and saw that the eyeball robot was still outside. It turned and flew to the side of the town wall. Fu Qinghai changed direction and caught up with it.

The tank drove westward along the town wall and passed a tall tower. An empty and flat parking lot appeared in front of them, with all kinds of strange vehicles parked there.

Fu Qinghai saw the civilian model Warthog off-road vehicle from the Halo universe - a cool-looking big-foot vehicle; he saw a heavily modified Peter Peart heavy truck, which was equipped with a bulldozer and bulletproof steel plates, and had iron spikes welded all over the body of the truck; he saw all kinds of patchwork and modified wasteland vehicles, from armored vehicles to buses to karts, everything was included.

Fu Qinghai even saw a 74-Z flying motorcycle and a Breeze-J flying motorcycle!

The flying motorcycle from Star Wars has always been very recognizable. Its simple appearance looks like a walk-behind tractor, but it can fly and at a very fast speed.

"Yo…"

Fu Qinghai looked left and right, marveling at it.

There are several tin sheds surrounding the parking lot, with equipment such as lifts, balancing machines and pressure tanks placed on them. There is also dirty black oil stains all over the ground, which are probably used for maintenance.

There were quite a few people in the parking lot. Some had just gotten out of their cars, some were lying under the chassis, and some were walking towards the town in twos and threes.

They all wore various kinds of radiation protection suits, masks or helmets on their heads, and rarely were they exposed to the air.

The arrival of Leman Rustam also attracted the attention of people around him.

If you only look at the shape in the picture, you will feel that the Lemann Rust tank is not much different from the British tanks of the World War I period, but when this tank is driving in front of you, the oppressive feeling of the huge object will hit you.

It's like a little house on tracks.

The aesthetic concept of the Human Empire in Warhammer 40K can be summarized in one sentence: more is beautiful, bigger is better.

The people around saluted the tanks one after another, and their whispered conversations also entered Fu Qinghai's ears.

"Look, there's a newcomer."

"Oh my god, how can this tank be so big?"

"Can you tell which reincarnation world this is?"

"Wow, there are so many turrets. It looks so cool."

Hmmmm…

Fu Qinghai thought to himself that I haven't driven the Emperor's Baneblade super heavy tank yet. Leman Russ is at most called a "steel behemoth", while the Emperor's Baneblade is called an "steel fortress", a proper mobile fortress with eleven gunners.

"Chi——"

Stop the tank and turn off the engine.

"This time, Jiang Yixia, Huxley, you two follow me, Chen Xinlu and Li Xingxian stay behind at the tank."

Fu Qinghai gave instructions on the car channel.

The reason for this arrangement is the strong radiation that is everywhere in the surrounding environment.

Jiang Yixia is the Hulk, and gamma rays are a form of strong radiation. Of course, the Hulk is not afraid of radiation.

Huxley is a mutant with Darwin's abilities. He will automatically adapt to the radiation environment, so there is no need to worry.

Chen Xinlu and Li Xingxian could only hide in the car, and were responsible for guarding the two chariots. Although everything seemed orderly here and it seemed to be a rare peaceful place in the wasteland, they still could not take it lightly.

Fu Qinghai handed the crystal of truth to Jiang Yixia, turned around and made a spinning gesture to Chen Xinlu, then led the woman out of the tank's hatch.

A scorching breeze blew in my face, carrying deadly radiation.

Jiang Yixia took a deep breath of the air outside the car and felt a familiar smell rushing through his blood.

Huxley also walked out of the armored vehicle. As soon as he came into contact with the outside environment, his exposed skin automatically became dull and rough, becoming somewhat similar to the gray-green skin of super mutants, and his eyes were covered with a layer of blue film.

The eyeball robot floated ahead to lead the way.

The tall and burly Space Marine, led by two followers, a man and a woman, walked towards the open gate of the town.
