The ruins of broken walls and fallen buildings lay beneath the thick night fog, and deadly danger seemed to lurk everywhere.
Some mutants drawn by the sounds and flashes of fire emerged from the darkness in groups of three or five, waiting for a chance to strike.
They were creatures that looked about eighty percent human, but whose underlying biological structure had undergone enormous changes.
Unlike the super monsters from certain radiation-themed games, they had been formed through infection by a special virus.
The first-generation mutants on Blue Star had mostly developed unusual genetic changes after their genes were exposed to high levels of radiation, giving rise to all sorts of strange physical traits.
These changes could be either good or bad.
Negative changes often came with terrifying side effects. Before long, they would cause the host's genetic chains to break apart, making their skin and bones crumble into dust inch by inch until they died in inhuman agony.
As for the positive changes, after batch upon batch had been eliminated over more than two hundred years,
the mutants that had survived and passed down their lineage to the present day had generally acquired bodies far stronger than those of ordinary humans, allowing them to adapt to even harsher environments.
Of course, these positive changes were not perfect either.
These mutants, standing just over two meters tall and weighing well over a hundred kilograms, had not only suffered some loss of intelligence, leaving them capable of using only simple weapons.
Their need for food was also at least four or five times higher than that of normal humans.
Even more terrifyingly, they ate everything! Whether it was rats, lizards, and insects living in the sewers, Radiation Beasts roaming the surface, or even... humans who had once been their own kind,
