Chapter 116. Cooking Style Of New Nightmare Is To Be A Black Lotus
Arc 5 : Wasteland World Movie Nightmare.
After reviewing the plot of this movie, Xiao Ba was the first to speak. Even though he was just a fragment of the Great Demon, he was also shocked by everything that Shen Heng had to bear alone in this movie.
Xiao Ba asked softly: “Du Yan, Shen Heng is so miserable. You are not going to be a villain, deceive him, use him, and hurt him, are you?”
Xiao Ba paused for a moment and continued: “If that’s the case, I think it’s a bit too much…”
Du Yan was a little amused. He said: “Could it be that in your eyes, the things I did in the previous dreams were unforgivable?”
Xiao Ba quickly denied: “No, no, I didn’t mean that. I just felt a little sympathetic towards Shen Heng.”
Du Yan didn’t care and replied: “I’ve made up my mind. This time, I’m going to be a little angel, keep pestering him, talk to him, and make him happy. What do you think?”
Xiao Ba knew Du Yan’s strange way of thinking and didn’t dare to believe it completely. He said: “Would you be willing to be a little angel to accompany him and make him happy?”
Du Yan looked down and said: “A little angel is a little angel, but in this world, a simple naive little angel can’t survive. In addition, Shen Heng has a special physique, so of course, I have to add some special settings for myself. But if it is logical and does not cause the dream to collapse, my setting will only cause Shen Heng a little trouble.”
As expected, Du Yan would not stay still and be a little angel. Xiao Ba asked helplessly: “So what are you going to do?”
Du Yan smiled and said: “In this world where the strong prey on the weak, a simple little angel will only be a burden. Of course, I am a little angel on the surface, but I am a devil inside. As for whether I am a villain boss, I will leave the choice to Shen Heng this time. I will see if he can straighten a crooked sapling.”
Xiao Ba glanced at Shen Heng below and suddenly felt a bit of sympathy in his heart. He didn’t know if after being entangled by Du Yan, this “little angel”, he would miss his former loneliness one day.

Homeland No. 1 was the first city to be cleared and renovated. Under the ground of Homeland No. 1 was the largest shelter, which naturally became the largest settlement of Pure Ones.
Most of the pure plants and advanced scientific and technological achievements that had been cultivated come from Homeland No. 1, and the area surrounding Homeland No. 1 was also home to the most powerful infected people.
A huge hemispherical light curtain separates Homeland No. 1 into two areas. Inside the light curtain was the territory of Pure Ones, while outside the light curtain was where Infected gathered.
Although the light curtain looks fragile and has no effect on Pure Ones, it can increase the degree of radiation exposure of Infected, so no Infected will risk breaking into the residence of Pure Ones within the light curtain.
Under the huge light curtain, the two areas were connected by a huge resource exchange, where the Infected used the resources they have collected in the abandoned city to exchange for pure food or anti-radiation drugs.
Infected are humans without a future and live a life of wandering on the edge of a knife. In those abandoned cities, they fight against mutated insects and animals to collect resources, and only when they return to the outskirts of their home can they relax and enjoy themselves.
Compared with the orderly and strictly orderly settlements of Pure Ones within the light curtain, the settlements of Infected outside the light curtain were always disorderly and chaotic.
The bar street on the outskirts can be considered the busiest and most prosperous place after dark. The whole street was filled with wandering infected people, letting their tense spirits loose under the influence of alcohol.
Infected people do not have extremely high requirements for food like the Pure Ones. They can eat irradiated food without any care. Because of their genetic mutation, their resistance to radiation is much better than that of Pure Ones. With the help of anti-radiation drugs, they can eliminate the effects of radiated food.
Therefore, alcohol can be regarded as a treasure exclusively for Infected, because almost all alcohol comes from the remnants of the pre-nuclear war. Pure plants are very precious, and Pure Ones are naturally reluctant to refine these plants into wine. Only a very small number of people can afford to enjoy the wine brewed from pure plants.
The infected naturally don’t have so many taboos. After the wine from hundreds of years ago was found, it was sent to these peripheral bars.
At the door of each bar stands a sturdy and powerful Infected security guard. Only such a powerful infected person can quickly control the situation when drunk people are causing trouble.
The security guards standing at the door of the bar with the most business looked the most difficult to deal with. However, when these two strong security guards saw the man approaching from a distance, they involuntarily tensed their muscles.
One of the security guards lowered his voice and asked: “Is that person Shen Heng? Why is he here?”
Another person said: “You are new here, right? Shen Heng likes to come to our bar to drink, so it’s not strange for him to show up every once in a while.”
The new security guard whispered again: “Then if he comes here to drink, won’t it increase our radiation level? For an infected person of his level, anti-radiation drugs probably won’t work.”
“What are you thinking? Short-term contact won’t increase the radiation level. No one asks you to eat with him or sleep in the same room or bed with him.”
The new security guard added: “But I’m still a little worried. You know, the radiation level is already deep enough for us. What if…”
“Then, if you have the guts, go up to him.” The other person rolled his eyes: “And then say, sorry, we can’t accommodate you here.”
The young security guard smiled awkwardly and said: “Forget it. With his strength, he can probably break my neck with one hand. At worst, I can drink two more bottles of anti-radiation medicine after getting off work. Even if it doesn’t work, it will be a psychological comfort.”
The conversation between the two suddenly stopped because Shen Heng had walked to a distance of only 20 meters from them. For Infected, the distance of 20 meters was enough for the other party to hear their whispered conversation clearly.
In fact, they didn’t know that Shen Heng’s physical condition was much better than that of ordinary infected people, and he had heard everything the two security guards were talking about.
However, Shen Heng did not even glance at the two security guards at the door when he entered. Over the years, he had become accustomed to others, avoiding and fearing him.
He had just cleared a city by himself. Even though Shen Heng was strong enough and had been fighting day and night without stopping, he was still a little tired.
The mutated insects in the city will not give people any time to rest. They will come out from anywhere at any time and attack people who mistakenly enter the city. Fortunately, as long as the city is cleaned up and the radiation cleaning source is buried, no more radiation creatures will approach the city.
After returning to Homeland No. 1, Shen Heng’s first thing was to relax in the bar.
The bar was doing very well because the owner of the bar had a wide range of connections and could get very effective anti-radiation drugs. Many infected people collect high-quality liquor, and they like to bring it to this bar in exchange for anti-radiation drugs.
Over time, the wines collected in the wine cellar of this bar have become more and more diverse. Almost all infected people who come to Homeland No. 1 will come to this bar to taste the various flavors of wine.
However, in this crowded bar, there was a circle with a diameter of about two or three meters cleared in front of the bar counter, and the person sitting in the center of the open space was Shen Heng.
Even those infected whose minds were clouded by alcohol would subconsciously avoid the place where Shen Heng was sitting.
Shen Heng was already used to this kind of treatment. To him, these people kept their distance, which made him feel more comfortable. Shen Heng was a regular customer of this bar. He didn’t need to order. The bartender placed several glasses of wine in front of him.
Shen Heng threw a special bag onto the bar, and the bartender took the bag and turned away.
The bag contains current currency, and the bag was made of radiation-resistant material.
Even though gold coins are not easily radiated and are a currency that Pure Ones can accept, Shen Heng still wraps these gold coins with anti-radiation materials to avoid accidents and to reassure those who trade with him.
No one knows how deep Shen Heng’s radiation level was, and even the scanner he wears couldn’t accurately test it.
After finishing his drink, Shen Heng stood up silently and walked towards the door. The congested noisy crowd tacitly made way for him at this moment.
Anyone would probably find this kind of special treatment difficult to accept, but Shen Heng walked out of the bar calmly, as if nothing had happened.
He was very fast, and in just a few minutes, he left the noisy and bustling bar street and entered a quiet residential area. This residential area was the suburb of this pre-war city, and the houses were well preserved. Many infected people had settled here.
The closer Shen Heng got to his home, the fewer houses there were with lights on. Finally, there was darkness ahead. Even though it was extremely well preserved, this entire area was uninhabited.
Because the area in front is where Shen Heng lives, no infected person would risk the effects of increased radiation for the sake of a comfortable living environment.
The strong liquor made Shen Heng feel a little lazy. After entering the area reserved for him, he relaxed a little.
Alcohol reduced his sensitivity and defensiveness, which caused Shen Heng to be tripped over something when he pushed open the gate and entered the garden.
Shen Heng looked down as an Infected, his vision was not affected by darkness. He found that the object that almost tripped him seemed to be a person. The person was leaning against the door, and his whole body was covered with a black cloak.
Shen Heng frowned slightly, wondering which fearless thief dared to sneak into his house. He raised his hand but was slightly stunned by the man’s fair skin.
Infected and Pure Ones can be distinguished from each other by their appearance. The skin color of the infected who have undergone genetic mutation will become darker. No infected person would have such fair skin. The person in front of him was a pure one.
