Shadows of JiangXi

[Tomtomrawr]

His radiation meter didn't start to beep, much to Miller's relief. He must have reached the edge of the radiation field, and was therefore running down its western perimeter. He gave the last little piece of luck little thought, except concentrating on the task at hand. What to do once he reached New HangZhou.

During the half an hour walk remaining to reach the city, he'd decided on several things. First, he'd keep moving. There was no sense in wasting daylight hours in sleeping. He'd have to wait until darkness before he would allow his efforts to return to finding a suitable place to sleep.

Second, he would find a vehicle. If he was going to reach the southern coast of the continent alive, he'd need transportation. He doubted any indigenous animals would be willing to lend a hand, so a functioning vehicle would have to be found.

Third, he would skin any animals that he found. Along with his wound, the glass had also cut a hole in his radiation suit. The living creatures must have evolved to prevent lethal levels of radiation from reaching their organs, so any fur could be converted into a patch to cover the hole.

Fourth, he'd spend as little time in the city as possible. He'd determined it was bound to be a hub of activity for hunting creatures, and any human survivors of the nuclear attack, be they mutated or not. One day, at the most. To find a vehicle, find an animal to skin, get some sleep and general rest, and achieve his final objective.

His final objective. To arm himself with enough fire-power to take down a battalion. He'd proven at the Christmas party he could drink enough to send a battalion under the table. Now he needed to prove he could send one under the ground.
