A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 781 - 767: Joining Wildfire

The Wildfire Base is some distance from here.

An Hongye was riding her modified motorcycle at a very fast speed, but it still took the whole afternoon.

In the Yellow Sand Realm, there is very little green vegetation.

Most of the scenery is endless desert, combined with chaotic tumbleweed scattered haphazardly.

Cacti provide the only bit of greenness here.

The motorcycle finally stopped in front of a dried-up riverbed, a river located in the middle of a canyon. The water had long since dried up, leaving small puddles in the riverbed. The stagnant water inside was very murky, shining with iridescent colors under the sunlight.

"This is a radiation-polluted water source and cannot be consumed."

An Hongye said to Baiyu.

She steered the motorcycle into the cliff beside the riverbed, and surprisingly, the cliff could actually be opened, revealing several parked vehicles inside.

Two men holding submachine guns greeted her amiably.

Baiyu stood outside waiting.

As the two men chatted with An Hongye, their eyes frequently darted over here, showing great curiosity about Baiyu, the outsider.

Five minutes later.

An Hongye walked out, twirling a set of motorcycle keys in her hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet our Wildfire."

She moved to the front of the cliff and explored for a while.

Not sure which rock she touched, but suddenly the stone wall of the cliff began to rumble and split open.

It turned out to be two automatic doors.

The outer layer of the cliff was merely a disguise attached to these automatic doors.

Baiyu walked inside.

Inside, many lighting devices were hung; although it was somewhat dim, it was enough to see people and pathways clearly.

The entire scale of Wildfire Base was much larger than imagined.

Many people were inside, forming a small society. They had hollowed out the entire mountain wall, dividing it into multiple sections.

Residential, farming, and entertainment.

Everything one might need.

Although a bit makeshift, in this wasteland world, it was not bad at all.

To new arrivals at the base.

Members of the Wildfire Organization were also very curious.

Many people cast glances, not lacking in various implications.

Soon.

A leader emerged, "Hongye, who is this person with you?"

An Hongye replied, "This is a scavenger I met outside!"

Upon hearing the word "scavenger,"

Everyone's expressions changed, and some even quietly stepped back, moving away.

Scavengers imply viruses and pollution.

Without having received anti-radiation or anti-pollution vaccines, who knows how many germs the person carries, perhaps getting close could mean getting infected.

An Hongye noticed the change around her and gave Baiyu an apologetic look, immediately saying to the leader:

"Brother Luo, Baiyu is a Level Three Mutant; he doesn't carry any viruses."

Level Three Mutant.

This information was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

The way people looked at Baiyu instantly changed. Mutants have high resistance to pollution and viruses due to the use of Genetic Transformation Elixirs, making regular mutations and pollutants entirely ineffective against them.

Moreover.

A Level Three Mutant's combat strength would greatly enhance Wildfire's power.

"Hello, I am Luo Cheng, the third leader of Wildfire."

The man extended his hand, a slight smile forced on his dark, date-colored face.

He usually did not like to smile.

Being able to show this attitude already indicated the importance placed on this new arrival.

Baiyu, although very curious about this world's situation, also knew his main goal was to compete for the Golden Fruit.

So far, he had not received any hints about the Golden Fruit.

Nor any information about the competition.

At this rate, let alone eliminating down to one person in three days, there might not even be many deaths.

However.

Just as Baiyu was thinking this.

Loloya's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Number Ninety-Seven, eliminated, cause of death: excessive radiation."

"Number Fifty-Two, eliminated, cause of death: company."

"Number Seventeen, eliminated, cause of death: toxic human."

.....

Information lines popped up in Baiyu's mind.

Moreover, on the ground near him.

In the flow of mud and sand, these elimination messages were also displayed.

It seemed only he could see this. People like An Hongye, who were originally from this world, couldn't see it.

"Twenty-five people died all of a sudden?"

Baiyu clicked his tongue in secret.

He thought the casualties here weren't that severe, but he didn't expect that out of these twenty-five, only three died from attacks between competitors.

The rest.

Basically died from native humans and creatures of this world.

It seemed.

This world was quite dangerous.

Baiyu originally wanted to leave Wildfire and explore on his own outside, but after the death list popped up, he thought it was better to take it slow.

At least.

Being cautious wouldn't be wrong.

"So, are you willing to join our Wildfire?" At this point, An Hongye's question interrupted Baiyu's thoughts.

"Uh, I can only temporarily join you. If one day my memory returns, I think I might leave."

Baiyu said.

An Hongye and Luo Cheng had no objections to this decision.

It was understandable.

Baiyu joining was already a big boost for Wildfire at the moment.

"Alright, I'll arrange it for you then."

Luo Cheng and An Hongye took Baiyu to the residential area.

The rooms here were laid out like a hotel, one next to the other, with each room being very compact.

Baiyu randomly chose a room. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

It had about twenty square meters of space, with a kitchen and bathroom, making it a nicely furnished small unit.

"Our daily usage of clean water is limited; unless necessary, it's better to bathe less often."

An Hongye quietly told Baiyu.

Since he came in, Baiyu had noticed a water meter, and every dormitory had strict water control.

Exceeding the limit was impossible, not even a drop more.

The water used for bathing was secondary purified water, not suitable for direct consumption, and truly drinkable pure water wasn't individually supplied in the rooms.

Only in Wildfire's hall there was a pure water outlet.

Each person could only take a limited amount of drinking water per day using their Identity Card, very strictly controlled.

To destroy an organization like Wildfire, destroying their water supply would suffice, in this wasteland.

Water resources and firearms.

These are fundamental.

A settlement's development is closely related to these things.

And so.

Baiyu temporarily settled in Wildfire's base.

He thought that since Loloya organized the competition, it couldn't be possible to just stay quiet like this, eliminating everyone to one person in three days would be quite difficult.

Also.

Whether elimination means true death is also very important.
