Chapter 262 Freshman! The fourth

"But this is just the beginning of our disaster!"

............

"More and more people have symptoms of nausea and vomiting. At first, we just suspected that influenza was caused by too much change in the environment... Until the situation gradually worsened, we finally realized that things were not as simple as we thought."

............

"The long-lasting cloud in the sky, the bleeding is getting worse and worse, and even some capable people have symptoms of nausea. We finally think of an unlikely possibility!"

............

The unlikely possibility is nuclear war, and Long Ao has nothing to say. A nuclear bomb does not mean that enough radioactive energy can explode anytime and anywhere. It also involves a lot of high-tech things. No one would have thought that there would be more now that electronic technology has completely collapsed. This product of the peak technology of human society has appeared.

The idea is right and wrong. The right thing is that nuclear bombs do appear. What's wrong is that they are not products based on electronic technology, but the products of the original pure mechanical structure. I have to say that Germans do have the talent to shame other nations in technology, even if they become vampires.

Long Ao also knows the symptoms mentioned by the blue-skinned man, and this is just an initial symptom. Radiation disease is not such a simple thing.

As a former medical student, Long Ao is still very clear about the symptoms of radiation sickness, not to mention that he has read a lot of books after the end of the nucleus. Nausea and vomiting are only the earliest symptoms of typical radiation sickness. The higher the radiation dose, the earlier these symptoms appear. People who start vomiting an hour after receiving radiation are very likely to die. Sometimes radiation sickness makes people feel bad at first, and then they start to feel better. But it is usually "lurking" for hours, a few days, or even the next few weeks, accompanied by new, more serious symptoms of radiation sickness, which can cause bleeding in the nasal cavity, mouth, gums and anus. It can easily cause people's contusion and internal bleeding, and even spit blood. The reason for these problems is that radiation deples the blood platelets that control bleeding in the body. Radiation "targets" the cells in the body to multiply rapidly, and this cell should be the intestinal tract. The cause of radiation sickness is mainly to stimulate the intestinal wall, and in severe cases, it causes bloody diarrhea. The skin area exposed to radiation may turn into blisters and turn red - almost like a serious sunburn. In some cases, open ulcers may form and the skin may even fall off. Sometimes with radiation sickness, it makes people feel bad at first, and then they start to feel much better. But usually more severe symptoms will occur in hours, days, or even in the "lurking" phase for weeks. Radiation damages hair-vesicles. Therefore, people who receive large doses of radiation tend to have continuous hair loss within two or three weeks. Sometimes, this kind of hair loss is permanent. Radiation sickness can make people feel weak and uncomfortable - almost like having a serious version of the flu. There is a significant decrease in red blood cells, leading to anemia and increasing the risk of fainting. Radiation sickness can cause or see ulcers in the mouth. In addition, ulcers may also form in the esophagus, stomach and intestines. With the decrease of red blood cells, the anti-infective white blood cells that can reduce radioactive diseases also decrease. As a result, the risk of bacterial, viral and fungal infections increases.

Long Ao can infer from her mouth that someone intercepted the nuclear bomb in the air, and the wanderers living in the cave were sucked in by the shock waves caused by other earlier explosions. Then they looked at the sky like watching the bustle. As a result, they didn't expect that another nuclear bomb would be detonated in their field of vision, so those unlucky people who looked all over the world were blinded.

Don't doubt whether the photosynthetic heat generated by the explosion of the nuclear bomb can blind people's eyes. In short, the theory of nuclear bombs and the burning of the sun is similar. You look up at the sun and think about what it is like when a sun that is very close to you appears in front of you. You should know the distance between the sun and the earth. In other words, the distance between nuclear bombs and people on earth is a negligible factor.

Those who hide in the cave and have symptoms of nausea and vomiting are the victims of the gradual spread of radiation. If Long Ao's estimate is good, the first people with which symptoms are ordinary people, that is, incompetent.

After that, among the people who have symptoms, the weaker they are, the earlier and more serious the symptoms will be. This is one of the truths of this world, the survival of the fittest. Weak people will be eliminated early by this game called Survival.

Even in the steel fortress, it is not that there are no people who are troubled by radiation disease. No matter how well the protection work is, people living in this environment will be affected by radiation. Don't mention the necessary materials obtained from the outside world, there is radiation on it, and the protection worn by those people. The surface of the protective clothing is also contaminated with radioactive dust.

It is the steel fortress. In the first few months, many people died under the pervasive radiation. It was not until the Zerg's anti-radiation extract and the success of the modulation of Radiantnin made the steel fortress completely worry about radiation. Otherwise, Long Ao would not have dragged them into the fortress. It was absolutely to find a big lead box to put them up and bring them closer to the base. In the early days of the establishment of the steel fortress, that's what they did for those outside wanderers. Although it was a little barbaric, it was also a last resort. Speaking of which, the blue-skinned people are relatively lucky.

"After another month, the sky is still extremely dark. The endless night brings endless cold, and the occasional warm wind can't fundamentally solve any problems. What's worse, our fuel reserves have finally been exhausted. Without fuel, it means that we can only rely on the most basic heating facilities to survive the cold as harsh winter.

............

"All the children died, all the old people died, all the weak died, all the unhealthy died... All the incompetent died... Finally, even the capable could not survive this harsh environment and died. Many people have awakened their ability in this desperate situation, but more of them died in obscurity!"

Long Ao asked, "Didn't you try to go somewhere else at that time?"

"I have tried, but after walking out of the mountains, all we see is endless yellow sand, and sandstorms, nothing else, no stones, no rivers, no buildings... nothing, only endless yellow sand. And in the mountains, there are at least withered trees and turbid spring water.

......

"Gradually, the area around the cave became bare, and we began to travel along the mountains!"

Without her specific explanation of how miserable it is, Long Ao also has a bottom line in his heart. This is definitely a more difficult road than climbing snowy mountains and crossing grasslands. There is at least water when climbing snowy mountains, and at least there is grass when crossing the grassland. However, food and water for travel along the way are absolutely extremely scarce.

A mutant cockroach looks like a washbasin, but the directly edible part is only the size of a palm. The mutant ants are even more excessive. Not only are the edible parts become rarer, but they are also more dangerous. This is all the information collected by professional hunters walking in the wasteland with their lives.

"In a tribe, a large tribe of hundreds of people, we were captured. Originally, 54 people were killed and eaten one by one... Until the end, they made a mistake, and they also deceived a hunter of a steel fortress!"

"What?" Long Ao asked in surprise, "The hunter of the steel fortress? How did you know that?" Long Ao has never received information about outside survivors. He believes that if there is, it will definitely be passed on to him, but it is not true. And they actually talked about the hunters in the steel fortress.

"That's what the man said. He said he was from the steel fortress." The blue-skinned girl said, "His ability is so useless that he can transfer his energy to others. If it is a team, it may be useful, but he is a lonely hunter."

............

"Finally, he gave me all his energy and told us the way forward of the steel fortress and the way to the steel fortress."

"Then you used your ability to escape from that place in disguise, and then came here?"

"Yes!"

"Then why don't you just say that you are coming to the steel fortress? The hunter should have told you about the measures of the steel fortress for outsiders, right?"

"..............." The blue-skinned girl was silent.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm guilty of 2!" Long Ao laughed at himself. They must have been afraid of being used as food again. They secretly sneaked into the steel fortress and understood the situation. This was the right choice. If Long Ao himself encountered this situation, he would have done so.

Put your life on a person's words, even if that person is a saint, such behavior is too stupid

If you really consider survival, one more heart is the right choice, that is, you don't know what's going on with the tribe they are talking about, and what's going on with the cheated hunters.

Long Ao was very unhappy. He thought that the missing hunters had never come back because of the harsh environment or mutant beasts. However, now through the matter of the blue man, he considered another possibility.

A large part of the hunters were killed for various reasons. Long Ao never thought that the steel fortress would always be single-minded, nor did he think that fear would make those profitable guys restrain or turn evil.

Even in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no organized rampant behavior of corrupt officials, let alone in other eras.

Moreover, didn't the previous events just illustrate this point? Because of power and interests, even people like Jiang Wan and Sun Qi have done some dizzy and funny things. What can other people's Long Ao expect?

Fortunately, Long Ao has never expected anything, just like what he once said, the people who follow him. If he can't be married, can't be rich, let alone satisfy his ideals and desires, then what's the point of following him?

So Long Ao has always been generous to his subordinates. According to his own words, the steel fortress is his, and his is also his. So do you need to care about these things in his hands?

This is the so-called rich for the people. However, this is the right word, and the reason is the same. Don't treat Long Ao as a dogmatic fool, like those idiots who are bloodwashed by Ma Xiongyu's wanton greed for ink and destroying the foundation of the steel fortress. This is two different from getting what you deserve. What kind of honest people are, you know this. The difference. Not to mention that Long Ao is essentially an evil person.
