The winding mountain road below the Twin Shelter.
On the dilapidated road, full of cracks and yellow earth, a corpse lay on its side by the guardrail, eyes wide open in Death.
He was wearing a blood-stained Shelter uniform.
A rusty piece of iron was stuck in his throat.
The wound pierced by the iron piece was large.
The blood inside had even stopped flowing.
The corpse was motionless, its skin a grayish-white.
In this Wasteland World.
Dead people are the least noticeable, the most insignificant things.
Like weeds, they are everywhere by the roadside.
It must be said that although Xu Wang had not been in this World for long, in some respects, he had integrated quite well.
More than 23 hours had passed since Xu Wang's self-destructive act of stabbing himself to Death.
During this time, Xu Wang had remained in this state of being both dead and alive.
Without a doubt.
In terms of physical manifestation.
He was as dead as could be.
But his spirit was still quite active.
He could even clearly feel the pain and suffocation before his Death.
That feeling of blood slowly draining from his body, his brain becoming sluggish, and his whole body turning cold was not pleasant.
Clearly feeling the process of his own Death.
Finally allowed Xu Wang's frantic mind, after obtaining the Golden Finger, to calm down.
Only then could he finally settle down and think properly.
He was dead again…
No mistake.
But this time, the flickering text did not appear.
He did not receive a Death reward.
Nor did he cross into other Worlds.
This indicated that to trigger the Golden Finger, there must be some other conditions.
This also reminded Xu Wang.
The most important thing now was to figure out the basic operating logic of the Golden Finger.
Otherwise, it was hard to guarantee that next time he wouldn't end up lying dead in place like this, wasting time for nothing.
Xu Wang carefully compared his three Death experiences.
The first time, he was thrown down the mountain by Raiders and died from the fall.
The second time, he was crushed by a fishing boat pushed by Godzilla.
The third time, he stabbed himself to Death with a piece of iron.
The first two Deaths were homicides.
Only the third time was suicide…
Xu Wang guessed.
Perhaps only Deaths other than suicide could trigger the Golden Finger.
But the specific situation would have to be tested later.
Although there was no text prompt.
Xu Wang still retained his thought processes, very similar to his state after each resurrection.
From this perspective, he should still be able to revive.
Finally, the time came to the 24th hour after Death.
Xu Wang's corpse suddenly began to regain color.
The iron piece in his throat was pushed out.
The large wound grew granulation tissue and was repairing and healing at an extremely fast rate!
"Hah!"
Xu Wang, like someone who had surfaced after drowning, suddenly opened his eyes and gasped a large breath of dry, hot air!
He was alive again!
Quickly lowering his head, Xu Wang looked at the personal terminal on his left wrist.
"June 17th…"
He still remembered that when he first came to this World, it seemed to be June 15th.
Recalling the perceived time while he was lying dead, Xu Wang finally knew how long his resurrection time was after each Death.
24 hours!
He had died twice in total, and exactly two days had passed.
Xu Wang's resurrection should start counting from the moment of his Death.
24 hours after Death, no matter how damaged the corpse was, it could quickly heal.
This was very powerful!
But Xu Wang still had to be careful not to let his corpse be controlled by enemies.
Being immortal didn't mean he couldn't be restricted in his actions.
Once his actions were restricted, things would get troublesome.
Just being cemented into a river would be enough to give Xu Wang a headache.
However, he didn't need to be too cautious.
Anyway, as long as the secret of his World travel and post-Death rewards was not known to others, he would be fine.
This was Xu Wang's strongest trump card for establishing himself in this Wasteland.
Even if he was truly cemented into a river, as long as enough time passed, Xu Wang could break the cement and get out himself.
After all, being cemented into a river wasn't considered suicide.
It should be able to continuously trigger the Golden Finger, allowing for constant World travel.
Eh?!
Thinking of this, Xu Wang was suddenly a little surprised.
This actually seemed quite good!
Suddenly, he really wanted to find an enemy to cement him into a river!
Xu Wang's self-destructive urge, which had just been suppressed, began to stir again!
"I'll find a chance to try it later, but now I need to return to the Shelter first."
Xu Wang slapped his face hard, forcing himself to calm down.
He still had things to deal with first.
Raising his head, Xu Wang looked towards the direction of the cliff top beside him.
Vault 91 and Vault 92 were up there.
He had to go back and check first.
Although he had only been a Shelter resident for less than an hour.
But Xu Wang knew deeply.
To live well in the Wasteland, Shelter technology was indispensable.
What's more, those Raiders, who came from who knows where, not only lost his wife but also killed him once.
The petty Xu Wang would not let them off so easily!
This revenge must be exacted!
Taking steps, he walked up the winding mountain road.
Xu Wang was full of passion!
He planned to return to the Shelter and give those Raiders a good beating.
Then make the Shelter residents hug his thigh and call him Dad!
However, not long after going up the mountain, Xu Wang's fervor disappeared.
He became like a frost-bitten eggplant, withered and listless…
He was simply too hungry!
Thirsty, hot, and hungry!
Thinking about it carefully, including the resurrection time, Xu Wang had gone two days without a drop of Water!
A person going without food for such a long time simply couldn't be in good physical condition.
He looked around.
He was currently halfway up this nameless mountain.
He could see that all around him were withered yellow trees.
This was not a good thing.
In the current situation.
If he starved to Death, it certainly wouldn't be considered homicide or accidental Death.
Not only would he not get a reward.
He might also starve to Death again after resurrection, wasting time for nothing!
He had to think of other ways!
Just then, Xu Wang heard a "rustling" sound coming from the woods beside the road.
Turning his head, he saw a radiation Roe, its skin shriveled, parts of its body decayed, and appearing blackish-brown.
The radiation Roe seemed to have also noticed Xu Wang.
But it remained in a watchful state.
Its four feet stood steadily on the hillside, its head tilted, gnawing on a withered tree trunk as thick as an arm.
From the "crunching" sound, one could tell.
This radiation Roe had very good teeth.
This was truly a pillow delivered when one was sleepy.
Xu Wang really hadn't expected that there would actually be living creatures in this godforsaken place.
Although this radiation Roe was rotten all over and looked inedible.
But Xu Wang didn't care at all; his goal was not food.
Lowering his body.
Xu Wang stepped over the road's guardrail and slowly climbed the hillside.
The radiation Roe kept watching Xu Wang, slowly chewing the tree trunk without any intention of running away.
It recognized these two-legged creatures.
They had never attacked them, so there was no need to run.
The radiation Roe was also curious what Xu Wang wanted by approaching it.
So it stood still, waiting for the two-legged creature to approach.
Finally, approaching the radiation Roe.
Xu Wang's face showed a sunny smile.
Then, under the astonished gaze of the radiation Roe.
Xu Wang suddenly erupted!
He directly pounced on the radiation Roe, his hands tightly gripping its two front legs!
"Woof woof woof!"
The radiation Roe was startled, continuously emitting dog-like barks!
It kicked its legs hard, trying to break free from Xu Wang.
But Xu Wang still held on tightly, laughing madly, shouting non-stop: "Either you kill me! Or I'll eat you! Hahaha!"
Saying that, he lowered his head and directly bit into the radiation Roe's front leg, tearing off a piece of rotten flesh!
On Xu Wang's left-hand personal terminal, the Geiger counter had already begun to emit "drip-drop" intense alarm sounds.
The radiation content on this radiation Roe was severely excessive.
Let alone eating it.
Even just holding it like this was a very dangerous thing for ordinary humans.
No wonder this seemingly unaggressive radiation Roe was completely unguarded against humans like Xu Wang.
It truly hadn't expected that today, a crazy person who wasn't afraid of Death would target it!
"Woof woof woof!"
The radiation Roe didn't understand what Xu Wang was saying.
But it was truly terrified!
During its violent struggle, the radiation Roe, along with Xu Wang, rolled down the hillside, crashing heavily into the road guardrail!
Xu Wang was in excruciating pain.
But he couldn't let go of this creature he had found with such difficulty.
Therefore, he still held the radiation Roe tightly, continuously tearing at the stupid roe deer's rotten flesh.
No matter how foolish the radiation Roe was, it was finally provoked by Xu Wang.
Realizing that running away was useless, it lowered its head, opened its mouth, and began to bite hard at Xu Wang on the ground!
The radiation Roe's bite force was terrifying.
Xu Wang's flesh and bones shattered with one bite!
That kind of pain almost made Xu Wang pass out directly.
Fortunately, after the radiation Roe finally broke free from Xu Wang, it bit Xu Wang's head hard again!
"Crack!"
Half of Xu Wang's skull was caved in and shattered.
His vision went White, and he returned to the embrace of Death once more.
That radiation Roe seemed to have encountered something disgusting.
After finally managing to kill Xu Wang, it scurried away in a hurry!
It had to get away from Xu Wang, that disgusting man!
At the same time.
Rows of familiar flickering text.
Appeared again "before" Xu Wang's eyes.
[Beginning World Travel…]
