In Huaxi's worldview, food has always been insulated from delicacy and deliciousness.

Well, maybe only the top executives of big companies and powerful forces are able to pursue delicious food.

For the vast majority of people living in this wasteland, food has always been a necessary material to sustain life, nothing more.

For the refugees, being able to eat every day and not starve to death is already satisfying, and being "full" is even more rare.

As an evolver, "The Revenant" is much better than the refugee, but it is also limited.

In this crisis-ridden world, we must risk our lives and brave dangers in the wilderness.

Many times, in order to avoid being discovered, they did not dare to light a fire, so they could only eat frozen meat jerky and pancakes, mixed with snow and water to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, in Huaxi’s dictionary, there is no concept of “food”.

Until this moment, when she was ignorant and her hands and feet were almost clumsy, she stiffly grabbed a ball of food and stuffed it into her mouth, feeling the warmth and the aroma of food full of seasonings exploding on her taste buds.

Her entire brain went blank for a moment.

"Is this... food? Can food... be so delicious?"

This thought emerged uncontrollably in my mind.

Huaxi suddenly realized that he could no longer control his hands.

She didn't have the habit of using chopsticks, so she simply held the lunch box and swallowed it fiercely, as if she was worried that if she ate slowly, she would be snatched away.

Lin Tuo specially ordered a large lunch box. He had just taken a few bites when Huaxi was stunned and started to lick the lunch box despite the low temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero.

"Hiccup!" He licked it a few times, rolled his eyes and hiccuped while choking.

"Eat slowly..." Lin Tuo was stunned, but his tone became much gentler. He reached for a bottle of mineral water, handed it to her, and said, "Drink some water, please."

"Thank you... hiccup!" Hua Xi said halfway before she couldn't continue. She just looked at the bottle in her hand with admiration, hesitated for a moment, unscrewed it, and then took a careful sip.

The contrast between the sweet taste and the dusty snow water was so strong that she didn't dare to take a big sip.

He just took a few careful sips, then twisted it up again, subconsciously wanting to stuff it into his pocket.

"Why are you hiding a bottle of water? Where is this box..." Lin Tuo said helplessly.

Then he pointed to the big bag of kebabs and snacks: "You're not full, you still have these."

As a result, Huaxi's shriveled stomach started to contain a lot of new things, including a handful of meat skewers. The little girl almost swallowed the signature after taking a few bites of it.

As for the snacks, she only tasted a few bites and then put them away.

Well, since I'm not hungry anymore, it's more cost-effective to save these for the road.

Lin Tuo looked at it and said nothing.

Hua Xi, on the other hand, looked completely different at this moment. She just stared at Lin Tuo after finishing the lunch, and then suddenly said:

"Who are you?"

The origins of these foods are really incredible. Although the words on the beautifully packaged snacks are hard to understand, they are obviously very similar to the creations of the old times.

But thirty years later, except for a very small amount of food, all that remains are the packaging bags... But these are fresh.

Also, those hot meals are even more difficult to explain, and their origin is extremely suspicious. Logically, it cannot be explained in any case, unless...

"Could it be that your special power is that you can conjure food out of thin air?" Hua Xi suddenly asked with a serious look on his face.

In her opinion, this may be the only possibility.

"Pfft." Lin Tuo was drinking water and almost spit it out, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed his "superpower".

After screwing on the bottle cap, Lin Tuo made a serious face and said:

"It's not your place to know, don't ask. Okay, I've eaten my food. Now, it's your turn to continue answering my questions. Well, if you don't want to tell me, then I can only..."

"You ask, I'll tell you everything." Before he could finish speaking, Hua Xi sighed and gave in.

I can't resist anyway, let alone take advantage of others.

Lin Tuo was startled, then stopped laughing, thought for a while, and said:

"You should have noticed that I am not a local, but come from a distant place, and I don't know the customs here. So... I want to get in touch with the three forces you mentioned, and where can I find them quickly?

?”

"Are you looking for them?" Huaxi was stunned for a moment, suppressed the urge to ask, and said seriously, "If it were normal, it would be enough to go to their respective main cities, but now... we can only go to Daxizhou."

Daxizhou...

When he heard this term, Lin Tuo's eyes moved and he said calmly: "Why?"

"Because not long ago, the radiation intensity of Daxizhou began to weaken, and the main force of the burning fire, Ash Mountain, and the floating apocalypse swarmed into the mountains of Daxizhou.

Explore that area to find the legendary secret seal."

Huaxi explained.

"Secret Seal? Please tell me carefully about Daxizhou." Lin Tuo asked with a more serious expression.

…

Soon, with the help of Hua Xi's narration, he roughly sorted out what happened.

There is a legend that has been circulating among the survivors of the wasteland.

That is why the Mad Emperor was able to control scientific researchers so smoothly and carry out the world-destroying experiment more than thirty years ago with the help of an extraordinary artifact called the "Secret Seal".

According to legend, the artifact was created due to the "spiritual tide" that occurs every few years and has the power to influence the spirits of others.

There are even rumors that the mad emperor was able to successfully usurp the throne, establish a new dynasty, and control the government for decades because of this mysterious treasure.

Of course, there is no empirical evidence for this statement, but it is probably not groundless.

When the "catastrophe" occurred, the secret seal was buried in the western mountains along with the mad emperor and the entire Daxizhou Laboratory.

And because that area was closest to the explosion, the radiation contamination was also the most serious.

In the past thirty years, many people have tried to enter Daxizhou, but none of them came back alive.

Therefore, it has become a death zone in the wasteland.

It was only in recent years, with the reduction of radiation pollution, that various forces turned their attention to the past again.

In particular, not long ago, pollution entered a period of rapid decline.

The entire Daxi Continent was no longer so dangerous, so the three major forces mobilized their main forces and rushed to Daxi Continent with the intention of digging into the restricted area and looking for the secret seal.

…

"The three major forces are all worried about the other party finding the Secret Seal. After all, if it really has such magical power, once anyone obtains it, it will change the landscape of the wasteland.

Even many evolvers have gone there...and, to say the least, even if the secret seal cannot be found, it is said that there are many good things in Daxizhou Laboratory.

The largest weapons production center in the old era was right there.

Therefore...whether it is for the Secret Seal or the resources there, it is impossible for the three major forces to give up..."

"So, about a month or two ago, their main force has entered Daxi Continent, and they should still be exploring deeper. If you want to find them, it's easiest to go over there, and you can meet them all at once...

"

Hua Xi said, suddenly sighed and muttered:

"Originally, I got those weapons before, so I thought I'd go over and take a look."

Lin Tuo smiled and then fell into deep thought.

The news brought by Huaxi indeed filled up some of his blind spots in knowledge and learned the details of the incident.

The "spiritual tide" should be related to his behavior of collecting ether... This made Lin Tuo dumbfounded and a little surprised.

After all, even the civilization on earth outside the sandbox has not yet explored the ether...

Well, you can't say that. After all, Lin Tuo did not conduct global collection outside the sandbox, nor did he disturb the earth's ether environment on a large scale.

If one day he has the ability to collect data from all over the world, earth scientists will naturally discover abnormalities.

In contrast, what concerned him more was the "Secret Seal".

"Extraordinary power... related to the spiritual tide... what on earth is that?"

Lin Tuo was curious, and even had the idea of ​​teleporting to Daxizhou immediately, but after thinking about it, he calmed down.

Anyway, the entire sand table is under his control, and the Secret Seal cannot escape his hands no matter what, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

However, he still had to go to Daxizhou. He happened to be walking westward and could use this journey to hunt mutant beasts and speed up the body tempering process, killing two birds with one stone.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tuo said again:

"Then the last question, what is your superpower?"

He vaguely felt that there might be some similarity between the extraordinary abilities of the "Secret Seal" and the "superpowers" of these evolvers themselves.

This was also the second time he raised this question, but this time, Huaxi struggled briefly, sighed, and confessed:

"My ability... is actually self-healing from injuries... that is, once my body is injured, it can be repaired quickly, but at the cost of consuming nutrients in the body.

Therefore, every time I get injured, I feel extremely hungry..."
To be continued...
