Power Armor

Section 3 Lil

Women are beautiful. If it is placed before nuclear annihilation, it must be at the level of Miss Beauty Pageant. What's more special is her voice, which is as soft as spring rain, giving people a warm feeling. It's just that here, like all the people who are struggling to survive, she is wearing clothes that barely cover her body, and her face is burnt yellow from lack of nutrition. Moreover, a large purple-blue spot on her forehead ruined her beauty.

"Yes." Xuetong replied lightly. It's as if he didn't feel the tenderness of the woman. He threw the food to the corner and sat down at the only wooden table in the room. "This is the harvest of the past few days. You can find a time to deal with it. There will be only these before the next hunt."

"It's a bit small." The woman frowned and looked at the food pile. Then show a smile. "But I'll save. You can rest easy."

"..." Xuetong didn't speak, and the face hidden under the black hair couldn't see any expression.

The woman smiled sweetly. It seems that he has long been used to Xuetong's indifference, and he turned around and walked towards the food pile, sorting the food. Although there are many ingredients provided by Sandworm, they are of different quality and value. The woman's hands are very skillful, and the ingredients are divided into several piles by her in a short time. If an expert reads here, he will definitely find that the woman's simple classification has already separated the food with slight radiation and the special organs of the sandworm.

While sharing, the woman frowned. "It's a pity, these acid sacs are not worth much now. Fortunately, there are a few high-quality goods. Ah, Xuetong, when you came back, these high-quality goods were not seen by the gatekeepers. Otherwise, it will be troublesome."

"It's okay, I'm careful enough." Xuetong replied lightly. Then he tapped on the table. "Let's have dinner."

"That's all right." The woman replied with a smile. He quickly put the selected ingredients aside, walked to a cabinet in the room, and took out the prepared barbecue from it. After adding some special spices, it was delivered to Xue Tong. After her processing, there is a special aroma in the barbecue. Whets the appetite.

Undoubtedly, such processing is a very extravagant thing. In the last days, it would be nice for ordinary people to have something to eat. It is absolutely impossible to taste processed food again. You must know that vegetables without radiation are definitely more valuable than barbecue. If it wasn't for maintaining physical strength, Xue Tong wouldn't be so extravagant. Moreover, his appetite is very large. Although there is a lot of food, it is barely enough to sustain.

This involves a secret of Xuetong. A secret that kept him alive until now.

No one knows that Xuetong's body is a little different from that of ordinary people. On each of his two armpits, there is a purple bump the size of a soybean. It's like two small blisters. This bulge is not natural. It was an accident when he was seven years old when he was picking up garbage in the sewer.

It was a cold night, the hungry head was wandering around the area with the highest radiation in the sewer, just looking for something valuable in exchange for food. It's a pity that although he worked very hard, there was nothing to gain. Just when he was desperate, he found a hexagonal object with special crystals next to a corpse in the deepest part of the sewer.

It was a very weird object. Xuetong remembered that there were many special black lines on it. Being young and ignorant, he regarded this object as a treasure, and planned to take it back to the shelter and sell it for a good price. Just when his fingers just touched the hexagonal object, something terrible happened. The hexagonal object unexpectedly exploded in an instant, shooting out hundreds of tentacles-like objects from it, and at the same time a large amount of pitch-black mucus sprayed out like a fountain, covering his head and face in it. The sense of fear wrapped in the slippery liquid made him pass out instantly. When he woke up again, Xuetong found these two small bumps under his armpits.

Xuetong didn't know that he didn't know what happened during his coma. All he knew was that his body had undergone strange changes since then. There is an extra thing in the body that looks like a malignant tumor parasitic below the heart. Physical fitness also began to grow rapidly, strength, speed, reaction, physical strength, and even resistance to nuclear radiation. Everything is quickly surpassing the level of human beings. If it wasn't for his appearance not changing, Xuetong almost thought that he was no longer a human being.

However, mutated physical fitness is not something that can be obtained for nothing. In order to meet the needs of strong physical fitness, Xuetong's demand for food has reached an abnormal level. He was hungry all the time, and his appetite was increasing at an alarming rate. It was his death sentence in these last days of food scarcity. In the beginning, because he couldn't get enough food, Xuetong almost starved to death many times. Until one day when he was hungry and fainted, he met the woman in front of him.

The woman's name is Li'er, and she is a p********e. He was only ten years old when he met her, but he could already exchange his body for food. It was because of her rescue that Xuetong was able to survive at the very beginning. Until now, he still clearly remembers that at that time, every night Li'er would exchange her bruised body for some messy food, and then feed these food into his mouth with hunger and desire.

Xuetong didn't ask Lier why she did this. Lil never explained it either. The two lived together as if they had a tacit understanding, and depended on each other like siblings. In her body, Xuetong got everything that a woman can give a man. Affection, warmth, shelter, tenderness, and... s*x. The blood pupil also provided protection for Li'er, and after he was able to hunt, Li'er never betrayed her body again.

As time passed, both of them grew up. The blood pupil is getting stronger and stronger, the demand for food is also increasing, and the requirements are becoming more and more demanding.

In fact, with Xuetong's abnormal physique, he can almost completely resist food contamination. It's just that contaminated food cannot meet his energy expenditure. Only by constantly eating cleaner food can his physical fitness continue to grow.

It's really embarrassing for Lier. Want to know how many unpolluted foods are there in this world? All they have worked so hard to get is relatively clean food. In order to supplement Xuetong's nutrition as much as possible, Li'er racked her brains. The spices she is currently processing are made from a special plant. This plant will reduce radiation when added to food, but the price is high.

In the simple room, the sound of Xuetong swallowing food was clearly recognizable. He eats extremely fast. A few large pieces of barbecue went into his stomach in a blink of an eye. Lier was beside him while he was eating, watching him silently with a kind of gentle eyes.

Xuetong's food intake has increased again, and this time the food is so little. This is how to do? Under Li'er's gentle smile was a hint of melancholy.

The situation in the refuge has been getting worse and worse recently. It is said that there is a problem with the water circulation system in the ruins. Some crops grown in the ground have already begun to die. Food supply is becoming more and more difficult. Moreover, many people have circulated that some outsiders have appeared near the refuge recently. They roam around armed with weapons left over from the pre-civilized era, and they seem to have malicious intentions.

This is a world where the weak prey on the strong. Li'er never thought that the bandits in the shelter could protect the ruins. In reality they are just a bunch of parasites. The only reason they stayed here was because there were enough resources and civilians for them to plunder. If they encounter stronger external forces, they will definitely escape faster than anyone else.

But this is not the most critical issue right now. The only thing Li'er cares about now is Xuetong's body. He was able to eat more and more. If there was no more food, the two of them might have to return to their previous lives. No, it must be more cruel. Without the protection of Xuetong, her end in this refuge is absolutely miserable.

"I'm done eating."

Just when Li'er was secretly worried, Xue Tong put down the last bone. He ate very clean, not a single shred of meat could be seen on the bones. Even the bone marrow was sucked out by him. Seeing Lier's gentle eyes. He was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

"Li'er, my armpits seem to be itching again."

"Really?" Li'er's eyes widened, and for the first time, she didn't smile.

Xuetong's armpits were itchy, this was not the first time it had happened. Li'er clearly remembered that this happened shortly after she picked up Xuetong. At that time, Xuetong's food intake suddenly increased, and he would fall into a high fever for several days. During this time, Xuetong hardly had the strength to stand up, and relied entirely on his own care. If he hadn't just obtained a large piece of barbecue from a big man at that time, Xuetong would definitely have died of hunger and high fever.

In this world, no one can save you from illness. The scarcity of medicines makes them the preserve of only a few. Neither Li'er nor Xuetong was someone who could obtain such scarce resources.

Thinking of this, Li'er's face became paler and paler. Biting her lower lip lightly, she asked in a low voice. "How much time is left?"

"I don't know. Maybe soon. Then the food intake will increase again. According to my estimation, the high fever period this time is greater than the last one." Xuetong replied lightly. "So during this time, I'm going to take part in more hunting activities."

Hunting activities mean more harvests, but also dangers.

"Understood. Then let me prepare." Lier lowered her head helplessly. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

I, do I have to go back to my old job to overcome this difficulty?

For Xuetong...

Also for myself.
