Garden of Eden || Apocalypse Paradise #2 [Complete]

109: Lin Sanjiu Doesn't have Radiation Immunity

In terms of radiation immunity, Lin Sanjiu was no different from an ordinary person. From the time she arrived at the Garden of Eden, it took less than ten minutes for her body functions to start failing.

One could only imagine how high the radiation level was for her body to reach such a critical condition within the span of ten minutes. Every fiber of muscle in her body wrung with pain; her body temperature spiked without warning, leaving her with a high fever and skin hot to the touch. Each time she turned her head, a tuft of hair fell off her head. Blood was dripping from her nose, ears, and mouth, but she didn't even notice.

Having Heat Resistance Adaptation and Overall Physical Enhancement did nothing to help her condition. Lin Sanjiu violently coughed up another mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.

She remembered that the duoluozhongs, the masterminds behind Oasis, were actually humans before they were sent to Hyperthermal Hell. They only became duoluozhongs because they couldn't develop Heat Resistance Adaptation.

Now, Lin Sanjiu found herself in the same situation because there was no way her body could develop radiation immunity. Lin Sanjiu did not know how long she had been unconscious. She slowly opened her eyes, but they quickly closed again. As she felt her body shutting down, she understood one thing in her hazy mind: she would never develop radiation immunity.

Despite being on the verge of death, her body still sent a clear message to her brain: Lin Sanjiu will not gain this ability, not because her Potential Growth Value isn't high enough, but due to the natural limitations of her genetics.

Everyone had hundreds of DNA flaws, but she didn't know that hers would affect her so quickly. It was almost as if she could see death drawing closer, like when she was young, standing by her mother's bedside.

Lin Sanjiu wasn't afraid of death.

She was only worried that it would not be her end. She was afraid that even after she died, her corpse would eventually stand up unsteadily, using a radiated, mutated, ghoulish face to roam this totally unfamiliar world.

Her consciousness slipped through her fingers once again like a wet soap, and she felt as if darkness was creeping towards her from behind, like a death sentence. The second before that darkness covered her eyes, she spotted a figure walking toward her through her blurred vision.

'If I were a female lead character in a novel, that person would come over to save me, right?'

She spent her last bit of energy joking with herself before she fainted again.

The person who drew closer to her was wearing something like a motorcycle helmet. The pair of eyes behind the glass visor of the helmet quickly evaluated the woman on the ground.

It was obvious to the person that Lin Sanjiu just arrived.

This was a highly irradiated world, yet the woman on the floor wasn't wearing any form of anti-radiation protection. She was even wearing a short and tight singlet which left large areas of her skin exposed to the radiation-laced air. Lin Sanjiu's death certainly held no meaning for anyone here in this world, much less for the person who approached her with his own agenda.

The stranger in a helmet crouched down to examine her body more closely. When he saw the bandage on her neck, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I know you're not dead yet, so I'm going to apologize for this," the man mumbled. His voice sounded muffled because of his helmet. "Anyway, a dead person doesn't need any Special Items, right?"

While he spoke, he took off his glove and lifted Lin Sanjiu's chin. He pressed around her bandage and felt the solid surface of her [Pygmalion Choker] just as he expected.
