Chapter 109: Lin Sanjiu Doesn’t have Radiation Immunity

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

In terms of radiation immunity, Lin Sanjiu was no different from an ordinary person. From the time she arrived at Garden of Eden, it took less than ten minutes for her body functions to start failing.

One could only imagine how high the radiation level was for her body to reach such a critical condition within the span of ten minutes. Every fiber of muscle in her body wrung with pain; her body temperature spiked without warning, leaving her with a high fever and skin hot to the touch. Each time she turned her head, a tuft of hair fell off her head. Blood was dripping from her nose, ears, and mouth, but she didn’t even notice.

Having Heat Resistance Adaptation and Overall Physical Enhancement did nothing to help her condition. Lin Sanjiu violently coughed up another mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.

She remembered that the duoluozhongs, the masterminds behind Oasis, were actually humans before they were sent to Hyperthermal Hell. They only became duoluozhongs because they couldn’t develop Heat Resistance Adaptation.

Now, Lin Sanjiu found herself in the same situation because there was no way her body could develop Radiation Immunity. Lin Sanjiu did not know how long she had been unconscious. She slowly opened her eyes but they quickly closed again. As she felt her body shutting down, she understood one thing in her hazy mind: she would never develop radiation immunity.

Despite being on the verge of death, her body still sent a clear message to her brain: Lin Sanjiu will not gain this ability, not because her Potential Growth Value isn't high enough, but due to the natural limitations of her genetics.

Everyone had hundreds of DNA flaws, but she didn't know that hers would affect her so quickly. It was almost as if she could see Death drawing closer like when she was young, standing by her mother’s bedside.

Lin Sanjiu wasn’t afraid of death.

She was only worried that it would not be her end. She was afraid that even after she died, her corpse would eventually stand up unsteadily, using a radiated, mutated, ghoulish face to roam this totally unfamiliar world.

Her consciousness slipped through her fingers once again like a wet soap and she felt as if darkness was creeping towards her from behind, like a death sentence. The second before that darkness covered her eyes, she spotted a figure walking toward her through her blurred vision.

[If I were a female lead character in a novel, that person would come over to save me, right?]

She spent her last bit of energy joking with herself before she fainted again.

The person who drew closer to her was wearing something like a motorcycle helmet. The pair of eyes behind the glass visor of the helmet quickly evaluated the woman on the ground.

It was obvious to the person that Lin Sanjiu just arrived.

This was a highly irradiated world, yet the woman on the floor wasn’t wearing any form of anti-radiation protection. She was even wearing a short and tight singlet which left large areas of her skin exposed to the radiation-laced air. Lin Sanjiu’s death certainly held no meaning for anyone here in this world, much less for the person who approached her with his own agenda.

The stranger in a helmet crouched down to examine her body more closely. When he saw the bandage on her neck, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I know you’re not dead yet so I’m going to apologize first," the man suddenly mumbled. His voice was muffled because of his helmet. "Anyway, a dead person doesn’t need any Special Items, right?"

While he spoke, he took off his glove and lifted Lin Sanjiu’s chin. He pressed around her bandage and felt the solid surface of her Pygmalion Choker just as he expected.

The man wasn’t in a hurry to retrieve that item, instead, he held her shoulders and flipped her, then he reached for her back pocket, trying to look for more items.

After a few seconds, he fell onto her body heavily with a "thud" drawing his last breath. Meanwhile, a sharp breath escaped Lin Sanjiu as the man’s weight pressed down on her.

Due to the effects of [Versu Poison], blood oozed out from the pores of the man’s face and body. Drops of blood rolled down the glass visor, dripping out of the helmet.

Two motionless bodies laid on the vast, open, charred land.

Both bodies were actually quite close to the glass globe—as Lin Sanjiu’s body deteriorated quickly due to the radiation, she fell to the ground without walking far previously.

Within the glass globe, a few healthy looking, well-kempt people stopped when they saw the two bodies outside. They pointed and discussed something before they dispersed.

The only sound which remained in this quiet, desolate, blackened field was the soft whistling of a breeze. A few hideous, critters with the size of a human head crawled out from the ground and headed toward the two people. They crawled around impatiently and just as they were about to crawl closer, they suddenly heard the sound of someone taking a long, deep breath. Scared by this, they scurried underground very quickly.

This breath sounded parched and dry, as if the owner was injured and her lungs were longing for the moisture from a refreshing breath. Lin Sanjiu finally opened her eyes. After a few seconds, she became aware that, despite her exhaustion, her body was feeling a little better. When she coughed after being choked by her own blood, she realized that she had stopped bleeding. Her body was still in pain, but her fever was subsiding.

Strangely, Lin Sanjiu knew that she did not develop radiation immunity.

[What’s going on?] She thought hazily, feeling convinced that the reason she was pulled back from the jaws of Death was due to the dead man lying on her. She laid in the same spot for some time feeling her heart working its best to keep her alive, trying to pump a little energy back to her body. When she started getting back some movement in her hands, she struggled to get the man’s backpack off his shoulders. As the opening of the backpack was not secured, a handful of red, shining, transparent balls rolled out from the backpack, falling to the ground. It was the same thing that the young man grabbed from the vending machine.

Lin Sanjiu held one of the small balls and squeezed the very squishy material in her hand. It turned into a card in less than a second.

[Anti-radiation Gummi Candy V2.0]

This is a tidbit developed by Garden of Eden Laboratories. Guaranteed without any 100% natural juice additives and Vitamin C. The chewable texture is like that of a rubber shoe and is impossible to bite through. On top of that, it maintains a sickly sweet taste that inferior sweets have. Eating this product will temporarily boost the user’s resistance to radiation. As this isn’t the newest version, it only lasts for about three days. The user has to consume the gummies at regular intervals, eating at least ten gummies each time.

Note: This chewing gum should only be used as a supplement. For the best results, please use this product with other anti-radiation protection or measures.

Lin Sanjiu felt an unexpected burst of energy, she popped the small round gummi into her mouth after changing it back to its original form and desperately searched for the remaining gummies on the ground. Sweat quickly poured from her forehead. She was still trapped by the man’s corpse and her body was so weak that she could only move one arm. Luckily, she managed to find seven to eight gummies and immediately stuffed them into her mouth.

Even though she did not consume the right dosage of ten gummies, a soothing feeling quickly extended from her abdomen to the rest of her body. The dizziness, headache and other symptoms were momentarily alleviated and she felt much better. She laid on the ground, panting, as she felt her blood vessels coursing with life again. Looking at the gray radioactive clouds in the sky, a drop of tear rolled down the corner of her eye.

After all, even as a person not afraid of death, she didn’t want to die.

After gathering some strength back, LIn Sanjiu took a deep breath and pushed the corpse away from her. She slowly sat up and noticed the human-shaped bloodstain on the ground.

Lin Sanjiu soon discovered what saved her life before she ate those gummies.

The black helmet remained on the ground while the human head within it and its attached body disappeared. Lin Sanjiu held a card with the drawing of a dead man between her fingers. She started reading the words on the back of the card.

[Er Dao's Corpse]

Name: Er Dao

Species: Human

Status: Dead

Potential Growth Value: 152

Passive abilities: Advanced Radioresistance, Physical Enhancements, Eagle Eye, Body Modification

Active Abilities: Crazy Dog Dashing, Radiation Negation Blood Granules

Even though [Crazy Dog Dashing] sounded quite strange, it was really just a simple ability which boosted its user’s speed. On the other hand, the other ability was something worth pondering about.

"Radiation Negation Blood Granules?" Lin Sanjiu blinked her eyes, trying to make sure that she was reading it right. Due to her exposure to radiation, her vision was still blurred. She couldn’t resist tapping on the words to get more information.

[Radiation Negation Blood Granules]

Small granules will form within the blood of the ability holder and these granules will negate 60% of the radiation within the ability holder’s body. [Advanced Radioresistance] would only reduce the radiation exposure from extremely high levels to a mid-level exposure. Long-term exposure to mid-levels of radiation would still be damaging to a human’s body. These granules not only keep the ability holder healthy but can also be thrown at creatures who have mutated due to the radiation.

After nullifying up to 60% of the radiation in the target mutated creature (whatever it is), its strength would be reduced greatly. The effect of the granules can last for one day. This is indeed an ability which goes against the basic existing knowledge and paradigms in the field of biology.

"No wonder…" Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood what happened and felt a complex emotion while she looked at her arms which were covered in blood.

This man, called Er Dao, probably came over to scavenge some items when he saw that she was about to die. Unfortunately, he touched Lin Sanjiu’s skin and died because of her Versu Poison. Next, the drops of fresh blood from his body fell on her. This helped to nullify 60% of the radiation in her body...

Lin Sanjiu sat in a daze for a while before sighing and opening Er Dao’s backpack.
