Reborn in the wasteland, picked up a soldier king

Sixty years ago, a terrible virus swept the world.

The world has changed dramatically, animals have mutated, the land has been polluted, and humans have been infected with viruses and turned into bloodthirsty zombies.

The end of the world is coming.

In order to protect themselves, the surviving humans abandoned the cities and built high walls in remote areas to resist zombies and strange beasts.

Afterwards, due to the energy crisis, food shortage and harsh climate, human survival became extremely difficult.

Lin Xiyao directly traveled through the end of the world and came to the wasteland era sixty years later.

……

Today, the city is left with only ruins and is desolate and desolate. It is impossible to go into the city and pick up scraps.

Although zombies are afraid of sunlight, they still stay in the city.

The forest is occupied by strange beasts, each of them is huge and extremely ferocious.

There are red snakes that can breathe fire, giant wolves that emit wind blades, and brown bears with extremely destructive power.

The plants in the wilderness have evolved beyond recognition after a long period of growth.

After the land was polluted, all plants began to grow wildly, increasing in size dozens of times.

Such as Apple.

Apples used to be the size of a fist, but now they are bigger than a basketball.

This world completely overturned Lin Xiyao's cognition.

In addition, humans have discovered a kind of energy stone in this wasteland.

Its appearance is as dazzling as a diamond, and the raw stone contains powerful energy.

Humans cannot absorb it, but they can use special instruments to convert the energy into a protective shield, providing a safe area for humans.

It is unknown how the original stone was formed.

All I know is that there's a chance of getting it by killing mutated zombies or exotic beasts, or by picking it up in mines or underground where corpses are piled up.

After sorting out the information in her head, Lin Xiyao sighed helplessly.

The reason why the original body came to the edge of the forest where strange beasts often appeared was to try to see if he could pick up a raw stone.

Even a rough stone as small as a grain of rice will do.

However, the original body was as unlucky as her. As soon as he entered the forest, he fell into a pit and died.

As for the original body, she was also called Lin Xiyao. She lived alone in a shantytown and made a living by scavenging.

Even though the original body got up before dawn and scavenged diligently every day, he still could not fill his stomach, let alone leave behind any supplies or a rich fortune.

Destitute.

……

After a while, Lin Xiyao walked out of the forest relying on her memory and came to the outside of the shantytown.

This place was even more dilapidated and dirty than she had imagined, and the environment was comparable to a garbage dump.

In the narrow aisles, ragged and skinny people can be seen everywhere.

Most of them had festering skin and dull eyes. They were either lying anywhere or sitting with their heads bowed, emitting a foul stench, like the living dead.

This situation is caused by the fact that they have been consuming highly toxic food for a long time.

In this wasteland, all plants are poisonous, and their toxicity is divided into three levels: high, medium and low.

Low-toxin food has a toxin content of less than 20%, can be eaten by humans, and the toxins can be excreted from the body.

Moderately toxic foods are equivalent to chronic poisons and are the most common rations for slum dwellers.

Highly toxic foods, with toxin content of over 50%, can cause systemic ulcers, mental confusion, fatigue, vomiting, and death from bleeding from all seven orifices if consumed in overdose.

The scavenging team goes to the collection site every day to collect vines, leaves, and fruits that contain less toxins.

Of course, there are many times when edible food cannot be collected.

When people are extremely hungry, they will eat highly toxic foods and become like what they are now.

In a word, if you eat too much poisonous food, you will die; if you have nothing to eat, you will starve to death. In any case, you will die.

But the situation in the safe zone is completely different.

There are hydroponic plants that are fresh and non-toxic, edible exotic animal meat, fragrant rice, and water without any pollution... As long as you have enough silver coins, you can eat whatever you want.

The original body's biggest wish was to earn enough silver coins to buy a house in the safe zone.

……

It is worth mentioning that forty years ago, the "Enhanced Man" program was officially launched.

After being injected with gene enhancers, those who survive will become enhanced people, and their physical strength, speed, and skin hardening will be directly increased several times.

Those who can't survive will have no choice but to die.

Most of the enhanced people are members of mercenary groups. They earn silver coins by killing strange beasts and zombies.

Most members of the mercenary group live in adobe houses outside the safe zone.

Don't underestimate those adobe houses. A scavenger like Lin Xiyao cannot afford to buy one square meter of adobe house in his entire life.

In summary, humans in this world are divided into three classes, and the upper class are naturally the rich and wealthy people in the safe zone.

The middle class are enhanced humans, they make a living by killing monsters and zombies, like the purple-haired man.

The lower class people are the scavengers living in the slums, such as Lin Xiyao.

……

Soon, Lin Xiyao arrived at the place where her original body lived, a simple shack built with branches and hay.

There is a plastic sheet on the roof to protect against wind and rain. The house area is less than ten square meters.

At the innermost part of the room, there was a simple single bed for accompanying the patient, covered with hay.

One of the legs of the bed was broken, and the original owner had propped it up with stones.

There were some broken things randomly placed on the ground, including porcelain bowls with several cracks, earthenware jars, faded plastic washbasins, deformed mineral water bottles, and square towels woven with rattan...

As for food, there was none at home, which was understandable. If there was still food, she would not have ventured into the forest.

Lin Xiyao: "..."

She was only given a place to live at the beginning. Is there any reborn person more miserable than her?

Forget it.

Strong people never complain about the environment.

No matter what, she will try her best to survive.

……

After tidying up the room casually, Lin Xiyao sat on the small bed, looking thoughtful.

Before, the cat souls absorbed in the forest were very strange.

Lin Xiyao searched through her memories but couldn't find any information about the Soul Eater.

The original body had no idea that he had awakened the ability to devour souls.

According to Lin Xiyao's understanding, this soul eater should be a psychic who upgrades by absorbing souls.

This is also a unique existence.

First-level soul eater.

It's a golden finger after all.

Since she is here, she might as well make the best of it. Lin Xiyao began to plan her future life.

The first thing to do is to solve the problem of food and clothing, and then find a way to improve the Soul Devouring level. No matter where you are, strong strength is always the foundation for your survival.

……

The next morning.

Lin Xiyao went out to pick up scraps, carrying a tattered backpack.

It has been a day since she came to this world, and she hasn't eaten anything, not even a sip of water.

If she doesn't go pick up scraps, she will starve to death.

As the first ray of sunlight rose, residents of the shantytowns began to go out one after another.

Many people were unkempt, had unsteady steps, and had puffy eyes, looking like ghosts.

Lin Xiyao cleverly followed this group of people.

They looked sick and could hear low coughs from time to time.
