The artifacts of the heavens on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 120 The Vigorous Youth

"So, 60 years have passed since the first nuclear explosion in Donghai City back then?"

"Yes, my lord, 60 years have passed, and now it is a new era, which is completely different from the old era."

The one who answered Luke was not the boss Xie An of the "Adventurer's House" inn, but the youngest son of the boss Xie An, Xie Xiaoan, a boy who was different from the residents of Gray Valley City that Luke had met before, a A vigorous 13-year-old boy.

And the place where they are now is not the Adventurer's House, but a bar not far from the Adventurer's House-Three Heroes Bar.

According to Xie Xiaoan, the background of this bar is very strong, and there are chain bars in all the cities of the empire.

Luke tentatively asked: "Speaking of which, the nuclear explosion that year had a great impact, and it seems that it has not been completely eliminated until now."

Xie Xiaoan looked at Luke strangely, "My lord, have you never heard of the saying that Donghai City is the source of evil? This is the first statement put forward by the three brave lords. In theory, all adventurers in the empire can You should know!"

Why Luke didn't look for Xie An, but took Xie Xiaoan, a half-grown child, to the bar to spy on information about the world, because he was worried that some things he didn't want others to know would be figured out by that old fox Xie An.

But he never expected that the little guy Xie Xiaoan was a ghost, he didn't pay attention, and Xie Xiaoan probed him out of the unfamiliar part of this world.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved. The so-called main world now is completely different from the world he knew before.

Residents of Ashvale City can marry and have children at the age of 12, and can be promoted to the grandfather generation before the age of 30, although most of them have no chance to become grandfathers.

Xie Xiaoan is already 13 years old, so it is only natural that he is so smart.

After all, he is an adult, and it is said that he will marry a beautiful 12-year-old girl named Amway at the end of the year.

"I've heard of it, how could I not have heard of it, I just said it casually. Come, come, drink, drink."

Luke took the opportunity to cover up his mistake by pushing the cup.

As the old fox Xie An said, in the doomsday war 60 years ago, tens of thousands of nuclear weapons exploded at the same time. Although it successfully slowed down the invasion of other worlds, it also led to the restart of human civilization.

9% of humans died directly in that war, and less than 70 million of the 7 billion people in the world became survivors.

But these 7 million people are not the lucky ones. Basically, all of them died within 10 years due to radiation pollution, the remaining forces from the outside world, the invasion of the undead, the civil war, the lack of safe drinking water sources, etc.

The most important reason is that all drinking water sources are polluted by radiation, and the survivors have to drink water sources that are less polluted.

Sixty years is a long time for human beings, especially those who are in suffering.

But for nature, the past 60 years are just a small fragment of time.

This time is simply not enough for the radiation sources that pollute water sources to decay naturally, it can only make their power a little bit smaller, and the damage caused to the evolving human beings is reduced.

Humans in the new era divide water sources into three levels, and the worst is the third-level water source, which is the rainwater that Luke has seen before, and the green liquid accumulated in the nuclear explosion pit.

This level of water will cause great harm to human beings. Even warriors whose evolution direction is physical, will suffer strong physical damage after drinking such water.

The best is a first-class water source, which is basically free from or rarely polluted by radiation, and can be directly drunk without any harm.

But such water sources are very rare, and only large-scale water purification plants in super-big cities, or medium-sized cities that are lucky enough to find primary water sources in wells more than 1 kilometer deep, may have them.

Relatively speaking, such water sources are very precious, and 1 liter of water is worth at least 1 gold coin.

Residents of cities large and small are very busy as they trade a lot of work for clean primary drinking water.

A city like Ashenvale City, which is nominally a small city, is actually just a large settlement, and it is impossible to have clean first-class drinking water.

Fortunately, they found a water source far from the source of radiation pollution, where the water quality reached the second level.

That is to say, the water quality is better than that of the third-grade water source. It can be used for production but cannot be directly drunk. It must go through a series of purification processes to remove the radiation pollution that can harm the human body in the water source to the greatest extent.

The water quality of the treated water is between the first and second grades, and it will not cause serious harm in the short term, but if you drink it for a long time, you will definitely not survive the age of 30 and will be killed by the accumulated radiation pollution.

Even such a source of water is very expensive, 10 imperial silver coins for a liter, which is one-tenth of an imperial gold coin.

The old fox Xie An sold Luke 5 liters of water only to receive one imperial gold coin, which is already very conscientious.

You know, drinking water is a rare commodity with limited supply in Ashvale City. No matter how many empire gold coins Luke has, he can't buy enough drinking water to wash his body.

Of course, these are what the old fox said, whether it is true or not Luke can't judge for the time being, so he can only believe it temporarily.

Although the living conditions are so difficult, human beings persevere and use their ingenuity and ingenuity to create a better living environment for themselves.

For example, the bramble wine that Luke and Xie Xiaoan are drinking now.

This is a kind of fruit wine brewed from thorn fruits that grow near secondary water sources. It tastes so strong that Luke almost couldn't swallow it for the first time.

The alcohol content of this kind of fruit wine is relatively high, about 15 to 20 degrees, and it is easy to drink. According to Xie Xiaoan, most people don't want to wake up after three or two days after getting drunk.

In addition, the thorn wine should not be drunk frequently, as the slight radiation pollution contained in it will cause certain harm to the human body, and the consequences of long-term drinking are much more serious than drinking directly from secondary water sources.

But it has three advantages, so that the Ashen Valley people have no way to give up.

First, it can replenish the water needed by the human body. Although the more you drink, the thirstier you become, but it will pass as long as you endure it.

Second, it is very cheap. A 5-liter wooden barrel only costs 50 copper coins, which is ten times cheaper than drinking water.

Thirdly, after drinking too much, it can make people temporarily forget this difficult world and enjoy the momentary pleasure brought by alcohol.

The purpose of Luke bringing Xie Xiaoan to the Bar of the Three Heroes is to get drunk on this little fox who is as cunning as his father, and get more information about this world.

Sure enough, within two drinks, Xie Xiaoan, whose tongue grew bigger, revealed a piece of news to Luke that shocked him.

"Master Brave, do you know that Lord Luke is the root of the evil that caused the doomsday war and killed billions of people!"

Damn it, what the hell, I can't bear this black pot bigger than the sky!
