Alien Dust

Chapter 455: Mutated Abandoned City
Wu Hen walked forward and saw a headless alien monster.

This alien monster bared its fangs and claws, and actually wanted to eat Wu Hen as dinner.

Seeing this alien whose strength was only at the level of Yeyou, Wu Hen couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that I have suppressed my strength well enough, so even this kind of low-dimensional life dares to run in front of me to show off its power.

Of course, in order to integrate into such an environment, Wu Hen pulled out an iron sword he picked up on the roadside and started fighting with it.

This could really be described as a thrilling battle, but in reality it was just a fight between two weaklings.

Interestingly, this scene was seen by an exploration team passing by.

They watched Wu Hen with smiles on their faces, watching him sometimes at a disadvantage, and sometimes using all his strength to fight the alien monster, and finally defeating the opponent after losing the iron sword. Afterwards, they applauded Wu Hen as if they had just watched a show.

"Hey, little brother, you seem to be fighting so hard, do you want me to give you a ride?" said one of the men carrying a sniper rifle.

"I'm going to the abandoned alien city. Are you going there too?" Wu Hen asked.

"Yeah, everyone goes there. In order to collect mutant condensate, anyone would dare to run to the alien abandoned city. With your weak strength and being alone, you will probably become the excrement of these aliens in no time." said the man with the sniper rifle.

"It's okay, I can do it by myself. But if you can point me in the direction or tell me some obvious reference points, I would be very grateful." Wu Hen said.

"Walk upstream along the sewage river, and when you see a dam, look towards the direction where the sun sets, and you'll see the alien abandoned city. It is said that evil spirits frequently appear over there at the dam, and they're more difficult to deal with than the alien monsters here. Are you sure you don't want us to give you a ride? Are you worried that we might murder you, haha?" said the man with the sniper rifle.

"Hehe, I'm slow and I'm afraid of holding you back. Besides, I don't have much clean food left. I have to look for it nearby. Thank you for your guidance. If we are destined to meet, we can meet in the abandoned city." Wu Hen smiled and rejected the team's kindness.

"Little brother, take this." The man with the sniper rifle also casually threw a bag of liquid. It was emerald green in color and shimmered a little in the sunlight. "This is some low-level mutant condensate that we collected on the road. If you can wash it and drink it, it will help your body evolve. You are too weak."

Wu Hen took the contaminated condensate from the other party, looked at it carefully, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"What? You don't even know what this thing is? Then why are you stepping in here?" At this time, a red-haired young woman in their team said.

"I really don't know." Wu Hen smiled awkwardly.

"You country bumpkin, bringing a dirty wild dog, and actually starting out as a dog wandering in the wasteland, thinking you can rely on luck to find a high-level Yuanyou!" The red-haired young woman laughed.

"Lu Xian, don't talk like that. He didn't steal or rob anything. Maybe he just came out of his hometown. It's not easy to travel alone in this foreign world. You have us old seniors to guide you from the beginning to the end." The man with the sniper rifle criticized the red-haired young woman.

The woman named Lu Xian snorted coldly, looking dissatisfied. The man with the sniper rifle shook his head helplessly, then opened the water bottle, distributed water to the team members, and explained to Wu Hen: "Besides Yuanyou, the most valuable thing on this land is the mutant condensate. The price offered by the Daxuan Dynasty is almost the same as the pure Yuanyou..."

"What's the use of this thing? Will I mutate if I drink it?" Wu Hen asked.

"It can really mutate. I've heard about it, but I don't know if it's true. There is an organization in the Daxuan Empire that is developing war beasts to deal with the major human races. This kind of war beast is actually a mutated species. It continuously absorbs this mutation condensate to make its body strong enough to rival some gods. Haven't you noticed that the small animals and large beasts here are different from those in other places? In fact, they have all absorbed the mutation condensate to a greater or lesser extent." As the sniper said these words, he also walked towards Wu Hen.

Wu Hen deliberately showed a hint of vigilance, but he actually knew that the other party had no ill intentions.

The sniper smiled and then said to Wu Hen: "It's a good thing to be wary of outsiders. Your vigilance can save you many times. But I'm just pouring you a portion of water, which is clean."

Wu Hen took the clean water from the other party and observed it for a while before drinking it.

Most of the materials in this land have been contaminated by radiation, and not many can be consumed directly. However, Yuanyou, as a cleaning liquid and sobering potion, has increased its value several times here, and it is also the hardest currency.

"I'm actually a student at a research institute, and my graduation project is to find the source of this mutant condensate..." Wu Hen said.

"From Daxuan College?" asked the sniper.

Wu Hen nodded.

He was certainly not studying the origin of any mutant condensate.

But from the navigator's notes, Wu Hen knew that this mutated condensate had a great relationship with the third-class star desolate dust god. Most likely, it was a miracle seed that he sowed in this low-dimensional world, using low-dimensional soil and low-dimensional species as nutrients to nourish it, waiting for it to thrive.

Unfortunately, when the navigators encountered such a mutated environment, they did not find the root cause of the problem, so naturally they could not find the projection information of Cang Ling on this land.

Wu Hen felt that this clue actually pointed very clearly to Cang Ling, but the navigator was in a hurry at the time and did not dig deeper... Of course, it may also be that the death rate of the navigators exploring here was too high, so they gave up after weighing the pros and cons.

Wu Hen planned to continue the search on his own to find the source of this mutated condensate.

However, Wu Hen is not quite sure what impact the mutant condensate will have on the surrounding environment and surrounding species, and he also needs to deal with these old gold diggers who have been wandering here for a long time.

It can be seen that this wasteland was once a very prosperous country, with continuous metropolises, a very developed transportation network, and giant industries and advanced mineral veins that were once prosperous everywhere. It’s just that no one knows what it went through, and it was eventually eroded by the gray-black sand and turned into the doomsday wasteland scene we see today.

"Since you are doing research, I won't talk nonsense with you. A species called Zombie Demon appeared in the abandoned city. Their living bodies are priced ten times that of high-level Yuanyou on the black market. If you want to know the origin of the mutant condensate, go and contact this Zombie Demon, but they evolve and mutate very quickly. With your strength... it's better to observe from a distance and don't be discovered." said the sniper.
