Chapter 2 (1/2)
”All right, Mr. Naddo.”
Remember to come to me every day to inject an antibiotic, and you'll be alive again in a week.
But you must be careful not to touch the water, or it will worsen. ”
The owner of the voice had exquisite facial features.
In this era of constantly changing genes, in order to survive and give up many things, beauties were no longer a common sight.
Without a doubt, the person who was speaking was a beautiful woman.
She was only around fifteen or sixteen years old, but her slightly immature face had the look of an adult. The two completely different auras mixed together, giving rise to a different kind of beauty.
He wore a tight red checkered shirt with the hem of the shirt knotted into a bow on his navel, exposing a fleshless waist.
However, due to the radiation from everywhere and the pollution from the environment, the blonde lady's skin was slightly rough.
However, this small flaw could easily be overlooked under her peerless appearance.
She wore a pair of matching denim shorts, barely four centimeters long enough to wrap her round buttocks and her long legs.
The perfect combination of an angelic face and a devilish body made the golden-haired girl's body radiate with an astonishing attractiveness.
Naddo, who had not had a woman for more than ten years, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
If girls like this were thrown to other bases or the wild, they would have been given to men long ago.
In this era, the thing that was least lacking was violence and sex.
Except in the basics, it was an exception.
That was because the blond girl's grandpa was the station's owner, Jack.
If anyone touches a hair on his granddaughter Leah, the black bodyguard standing behind the girl at that moment will send a fresh shimmer of lead into your chest.
Therefore, Naddo only dared to swallow his saliva, then he rubbed his already decapitated head and left the infirmary with a limp.
”Miss, it's time to go home. The boss should be coming back.”
The black bodyguard reminded.
Leah answered curtly, ”I know.” She hovered in front of the medicine cabinet, then frowned. ”The antibiotics are not enough, Halt, we may have to make a trip to the city.”
The black man's face grew unnatural. The world had become chaotic, and the so-called city was no longer the paradise of the old era.
On the contrary, it was full of danger.
Mutated creatures hide in the city's groundwater channels, and the creatures that become living dead because of the virus wander among the city's ruins.
Hunger is the greatest enemy of the living who do not know fear and pain.
”We'll talk about this after the boss gets back.”
He didn't dare be a hero, Halt murmured, agreeing with Leah.
Halt did not forget that half a year ago, when a team of ten armed soldiers left the base for the city, only one of them returned.
The man was also confirmed to have been infected with the virus, and Old Jack himself shot and killed him.
Huo Te didn't want to follow their footsteps. He had already decided that after the boss agreed to the Young Miss's request, he would pretend to be sick in order to avoid this task.
”Then let's go home first.”
Leah said, simply gathering up her things and pushing the door open.
The black bodyguard followed closely behind.
Coming out of the infirmary and walking through a dark passageway, there was an open underground space in front of their eyes.
Since the Cataclysm, the world has been baptized by floods and radiation, and the earth is no longer fit for human habitation.
Only places like this that were hidden hundreds of meters underground, or some of the old nuclear sanctuaries, would be able to provide human habitation.
Z7 was more suitable for a mine than a base.
Compared to the perfect functional equipment and even the water circulation system of the nuclear shelter, the Z7 base could only be described as simple.
In fact, z7 was a new mining base for Parkland's chaebol twenty years ago.
Later on, because of the increase in the number of workers, it gradually evolved into a semi-residential, semi-industrialized base.
The lack of supplies in the Z7 base was water and medicine. The former was still okay, but there was regularly a plutocrat to transport them.
Although it is only a secondary drinking water, the amount of radiation it contains is still within the range acceptable to the human body.
It was just that drinking water was expensive, and most of the people in the base spent their income on it, but they could only barely keep up with their daily needs.
As for drugs, the Parkland plutocrats offered none.
To the old masters like them, what the world lacked the most were the poor, and the cheapest were also the poor.
Using precious medicines for the lives of one or two Dalits was an abominable luxury.
There were only a few drugs in the z7 base, and there were only two ways to get them.
One was to buy it from the corporate world at a high price, and the second was to take the risk of going to the ruins of a city.
In that deserted city, there were often some hospitals that still had medicines in their warehouses that did not expire.
However, the second path was much more dangerous than the first.
While walking through the living quarters of the base, Leigh saw people flocking toward the work area.
She blocked the oncoming youth and asked, ”Where are you guys going?”
”Oh, my dear Miss Leigh.”
You don't know, Master Jack found a hibernation in the mine, in which slept a survivor of the old days.
”Now that Master Jack has brought him back, everyone is rushing to join in the fun.”
After the youth finished speaking, he respectfully said his goodbyes before joining the stream of people that swarmed towards the work area.
”Survivor?”
Leah took Black Holt's hand, her eyes shining with excitement. ”Come on, we'll go too.”
”I hope he's a doctor. I'm the only doctor on the base.”
The Negro could not resist her and had to lead the way for the young lady.
The unique sound of hydraulic machinery echoed in everyone's ears in front of the main gate of the working area.
Following which, a large mass of steam spurted out, and the rusty dark yellow alloy door was first drawn back.
Only after shrinking for three meters did the ground pulley open to the two sides, revealing the deep tunnel leading to the mining area.
An old-fashioned miner came up the tracks and pulled up in front of the gate.
There was only one miner's station like this, and only Old Jack was eligible to ride it.
But now there was someone else on the miner's cart.
A man.
Wearing the camouflage clothing used in the old era for field battles, this set of uniforms was new enough to make people go crazy with jealousy.
However, the submachine gun held in that person's right hand could calm any crazed people down.
The man seemed tired. He leaned against the miner and closed his eyes.
He didn't open his eyes until Old Jack kicked his legs.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Some of the onlookers even screamed: ”His eyes are Yin Yang Eyes!”
”These are the eyes of a demon.”
Bang –
Old Jack scowled and fired into the air at the left wheel, the muzzle still smoking.
”All of you shut up! If anyone dares to say anything, I'll send them to God!”
At Z7 base, Old Jack dared to disobey the local people, so the onlookers obediently shut their mouths.
”Grandpa!”
Pushing through the crowd, Leah stepped forward.
She also headed for the mineshaft, to the man in the camouflage fatigues, and to the left eye that shone like gold.
Leah couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
