266 Romance in the Wilderness

Speaking of her dream, Tong Qingqing’s eyebrows immediately danced. She raised her little head like a little adult, and her face revealed a yearning expression.

The mechanical dog beside her seemed to have sensed its master’s emotions. It circled around its master and wagged its tail quickly.

Ning Shi did not interrupt the excited interaction between the man and the dog. Instead, he entered the AI network and searched for keywords such as “non-radioactive person, savage”.

After reading a few academic papers and information, Ning Shi understood what a savage was.

It turned out that in the process of human interaction with helium energy, there was a third situation other than ordinary people who did not have radiation and radioactive people who were mutated after radiation.

A portion of humans gradually developed immunity to radiation.

The immunity of these people was not like Ning Shi, who relied on his extremely high physique and tenacious talent. Instead, through generations of genetic evolution, a group of humans who were immune to radiation slowly appeared.

After the big explosion, in the early stages of the rebuilding of the human homeland, the immune group of humans played a huge role. Whether it was planting or production, the immune group was the backbone.

However, although the immune group was immune to the radiation element and their bodies were not affected by the radiation element, their bodies also carried the radiation element.

Ordinary people would also be corroded by the radiation elements if they were in contact with the immune group for a long time.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Norse Republic, the immune groups were isolated outside the city. They had no choice but to continue to survive in the wilderness.

Over time, these immune groups began to be despised by the people in the city, and they were given the title of savages.

As time passed, the number of savages appearing in front of ordinary people decreased, and ordinary people gradually forgot about this group.

Therefore, there were very few records of them in the various materials in the city.

The papers and information Ning Shi had read were all written by the radioactive people.

They also lived in the wild, so they had more interactions with radioactive people and savages.

Although Ning Shi had found the information himself, it was also thanks to Tong Qingqing’s reminder. He handed the key to the motorcycle to Tong Qingqing and said, “The motorcycle is very fast. If you drive too fast, you won’t feel good driving. I suggest you maintain a suitable speed.”

“Thank you, Uncle!”

Tong Qingqing gently picked up the keys and got into the motorcycle. Just as she was about to start, Ning Shi asked in confusion.

“I’m only 18 years old. Why do you call me uncle?”

The game avatar’s age and appearance were both 18 years old, which was why Ning Shi asked.

Tong Qingqing gently placed the mechanical dog in front of her, turned around, and said, “Because of your aura. Although you’re only 18 years old, your every move is filled with the aura of an uncle!”

Ning Shi was speechless. He could only sigh at Tong Qingqing’s keen perception. His style of doing things was indeed not like an 18-year-old young man, but rather a little mature.

Watching Tong Qingqing ride his motorcycle away, Ning Shi continued to study the map, looking for a new leveling spot.

He wasn’t worried that Tong Qingqing would run away and steal his motorcycle, because Ning Shi had already checked Tong Qingqing’s information with the Eye of Truth.

Tong Qingqing had a pure heart. This kind of person would not steal a motorcycle, so Ning Shi was very assured that she would return his motorcycle to him.

Tong Qingqing was a modified person controlled by someone. It was the first time Ning Shi had encountered such a group.

As for the medium that controlled Tong Qingqing, it was the mechanical dog that followed her.

[ Description: A mechanical life with a single consciousness. Its only consciousness is to follow Tong Qingqing and transmit all the images and data of her life to its master. ]

It was a cruel truth. Ning Shi had thought that the mechanical dog was Tong Qingqing’s pet, but the reality was the complete opposite.

It was not a girl walking a dog, but a dog walking a girl.

Ning Shi couldn’t help but sigh. No matter how advanced technology was, no matter how society developed, oppression and exploitation would always exist.

He focused his attention on the ranking map. After about ten minutes, Ning Shi had marked out two suitable places to level up.

One was the Level 3 Canyon No. 7, where the black-striped tiger lived. The black-striped tiger was very powerful and was considered the top combat power among the Level 3 radioactive creatures. It was not easy to provoke it.

However, the black-striped tiger was a solitary animal and was suitable for Ning Shi to hone his combat skills.

The only fly in the ointment was that the Level 3 canyon was high in the mountains and dense in forests. The terrain was dangerous and the area was vast. It was not convenient to search for traces of the black-striped tiger inside.

It would take a lot of time to find monsters, and the efficiency of leveling up would not be high.

The second place was the Level 3 grassland on the southern slope. On this grassland, there were all kinds of radioactive creatures. Some lived alone and lived in groups. Ning Shi could freely choose his hunting targets on the grassland.

Due to the large number of radioactive creatures, the leveling efficiency was definitely fast. However, Level 4 radioactive creatures would occasionally appear on the grassland, and he might encounter life-threatening danger.

The two places had their own advantages and disadvantages. While Ning Shi was considering it, Tong Qingqing drove the motorcycle back.

She stopped the motorcycle and jumped out of it. The mechanical dog was still following her closely.

After throwing the key to Ning Shi, Tong Qingqing smiled lightly and said, “Thank you, Uncle! It had been a long time since he had enjoyed such a carefree sense of freedom!

“The wilderness is great and tolerant. Only by driving in the wilderness can you understand how beautiful the wilderness is!”

Ning Shi took the key and carefully observed Tong Qingqing. From the outside, she looked like a cute little human girl. There were no signs of modification.

Ning Shi deliberated momentarily before asking, “You’re just a little girl. What are you doing here alone? The wilderness not only has magnificent scenery but also countless dangers.”

Tong Qingqing subconsciously touched the mechanical dog beside her and paused for a moment before saying, “Today is my rest day. With Father’s permission, I can come out and play.”

Tong pointed at the valley behind Ning Shi and said, “Look at this valley. Its name is very cool. It’s actually called Savage Valley!

“My dream is to become a lone savage. Of course I have to come to a place like the Savage Valley. My goal is to find a powerful lone savage.

“I almost succeeded. Unfortunately, uncle, you’re not a savage.”

After Ning Shi knew the function of the mechanical dog, he understood that the scene and conversation between him and Tong Qingqing would be transmitted to Tong Qingqing’s father.

Therefore, his conversation with Tong Qingqing did not go too deep.

He thought about it for a while and decided to go to the southern slope’s Level 3 grassland to level up first.

His time was limited. He still had to increase his leveling efficiency and seize the time to become stronger.

As for danger, it was everywhere in the wilderness.

Ning Shi was about to get into the motorcycle and leave when he heard Tong Qingqing say softly, “Uncle, are you leaving? Do you want to visit our Savage City?”

Ning Shi stopped what he was doing. He had to admit that he was very curious about the city and civilization of the savages. He really wanted to go and take a look.

“I’m not a savage, can I enter your city?” he asked.

Tong Qingqing blinked her big eyes and said mischievously, “Whether you are a savage or not is not up to you to decide.

“Look at your clothes. You’re in the wilderness with such a high concentration of radiation elements, but you’re not wearing any protective clothing. This already explains everything.

“You have immunity to radiation. Basically, you are a savage.”

“Our city has no restrictions on entry and exit. As long as you don’t wear any protective equipment, you can enter at will.

This is the best proof of your identity as a savage.”

Hearing Tong Qingqing’s words, Ning Shi hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is your city far from here?”

The exact location of Savage City seemed to be no secret. Tong Qingqing did not hesitate to reach out her wristwatch and show Ning Shi the map.

“It’s here, about 600 kilometers away.”

Ning Shi took a look. It was really a coincidence. The location of Savage City was about 100 kilometers away from the Level 3 grassland on the southern slope.

It was on the way.

In that case, it was a good choice to go over and take a look.

If it was suitable, he might be able to use Savage City as a supply station for his weapons and equipment.

“Thank you for your invitation, little girl. I’d love to visit your city,” he said with a smile.

Tong gently pouted her rosy lips and protested loudly, “Don’t call me little sister. Forget it. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have called you uncle. How about this? You call me Tong Tong, and I call you Ning. How about that?”

Before Ning Shi could answer, Tong Qingqing clapped her little hands happily. “Just call me that. I’m too smart!”

Then, she looked at the mechanical dog and then at Ning Shi’s Hell Bike.

She jumped onto the back seat of Ning Shi’s motorcycle with the mechanical dog following beside her.

“Ning, although my mechanical dog can transform and carry me around, it’s too slow. To save time, I’ve decided to take your motorcycle!”

“Ning! Let’s go! Let’s sprint in the wilderness!”

Ning Shi looked at the pure and happy Tong Qingqing. She had completely displayed the innocence of a little girl.

He started the motorcycle and drove it to 800 kilometers per hour.

Along the way, Tong Qingqing’s cheerful laughter was non-stop, and Ning Shi’s mood was also infected by her.

He had initially wanted to hurry up, but he unconsciously slowed down the motorcycle and enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the wilderness along the way.

To be honest, without humans, although the wilderness was desolate, the natural scenery was even more magnificent.

Driving a motorcycle in the endless wilderness was indeed a top-notch driving pleasure.

Tong Qingqing raised her hands and stood up from the back seat of the motorcycle, shouting excitedly.

“This is the romance of the wilderness, a romance that only lone savages can feel!

“Ning, I’m not wrong. There are indeed lone savages in the Savage Valley.

“You are a lone savage!”
