223 Awakened Talent (Part 1)

Back at the stronghold, Ning Shi took a shower and made some food for himself. He then began to enter the AI network and library to read information about the Norse Republic.

He found that his status as a third-class citizen was very useful. Although he could not see high-level secret information, he could browse all the basic information.

It included the characteristics and abilities of radioactive people, the classification and characteristics of radioactive creatures, and the general situation of the 51 cities in the Norse Republic.

After reading it thoroughly, Ning Shi knew that there were three forces in the Norse Republic.

One was the noble forces. Most of the nobles in the Norse Republic were minority nobles or local tycoons on the origin planet before the battle of the two cities. Before the explosion, they had not received news of their escape, so they could not leave the origin planet in advance like the great nobles.

The minority nobles who had survived the big explosion relied on their previous accumulation and quickly developed and gradually became the great nobles of today.

Among the nobles, the two most powerful families were the Marquis family of Blackbox City – the Wu family, and the Marquis family of Star City – the Skye family.

The Hilda family was a Count family, and their status among the nobles was second only to the two top families. They were considered second-tier nobles.

The second force was the republic. Most of the members of the organization come from the elite class of major cities and a few advanced elements who believed in the republic among the aristocrats. The biggest demand of their organization was to overthrow the privileges and preferential treatment of the nobles and establish a country where everyone was equal.

Ning Shi looked up a lot of related information and faintly felt that the republican forces were not so simple and pure.

The third force was the radioactive people. The reason why the radioactive people were also considered within the sphere of influence of the Norse Republic was that they were essentially people of the Norse Republic.

Most of the radioactive people in New Star City had grown up in the Norse Republic. After coming into contact with helium or radiation elements, they had to leave their hometown and live in New Star City.

The radioactive people and the Norse Republic had the same roots, and the radioactive people were also divided into the homesick faction and the independent faction.

The homesick faction people considered themselves to be citizens of the Norse Republic. They believed that although they had mutated into radioactive people, their home was in the republic, and their roots were still in the republic.

On the other hand, the independent faction felt that the radioactive people were completely different from ordinary humans. They were a new race and should develop independently.

The thoughts and feelings of humans would not be easily changed or forgotten, especially the special feelings for their hometown. In New Star City, most people still cherished the old days.

Therefore, the homesick faction sect was now in a dominant position in New Star City.

As a result, the radioactive people were closer to many forces in the republic.

If it were not for the fact that the radioactive people carried radiation elements and dealt with radiation elements all day long, so they could not have much contact with ordinary humans, New Star City might have already been incorporated into the republic.

As for the hatred brought about by the previous extermination policy, only a very small number of descendants of the radioactive people remembered it. Moreover, the extermination policy was formulated by the great nobles before the battle of the two cities. Strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with the Norse Republic.

After reading more information, Ning Shi had a clearer understanding of the radioactive people.

The radioactive people who massacred Orphanage No. 15 the night before belonged to the most extreme force in the independent faction – the Raven Organization.

The people in this organization were all descendants of the radioactive people before the battle of the two cities.

Their ancestors had experienced a bloody massacre, so they had an extreme hatred for normal humans.

The big explosion during the battle of the two cities also brought a great disaster to the radioactive people at that time. There were not many radioactive people who survived the big explosion, so the group of these descendants was not very large.

There were about 100000 people, which was less than 1% of the total population of New Star City.

Ning Shi guessed in his heart, no wonder Old Li’s attitude towards the radioactive people was so good, he should have a friend from the homesick faction of the radioactive people.

Over the years, the relationship between the radioactive people and the republic had been getting better and better in private. It was only on the surface that they did not announce an alliance or cooperation because of the internal hatred and obstacles between the two sides.

The radioactive people and the Norse Republic had a great complementary relationship, and the relationship between the two would only become closer and closer in the future.

In order to absorb more radiation, the radioactive people’s New Star City was built in the depths of the wilderness where the radiation was the densest. These places were also the favorite territories of powerful radioactive creatures.

As a result, the radioactive people also had to face the attacks of radioactive creatures.

They had a common enemy with the republic.

However, all the abilities of the radioactive people were concentrated on the radiation element. The radiation element was always effective against normal humans, but against radioactive creatures, the damage from the radiation was greatly reduced.

The radioactive people thus needed a large number of helium weapons to resist the radioactive creatures.

Unfortunately, the radioactive people spent most of their time refining the radiation elements and were relatively weak in the manufacturing of weapons.

Under such circumstances, the radioactive people could only purchase helium weapons from the republic. Otherwise, New Star City would be destroyed under the claws of the radioactive creatures.

Although the republic could produce weapons, they could not move freely in the wild because of radiation.

The republic was unable to mine helium in radiation zones.

This was the strength of the radioactive people. After they resisted the radioactive creatures, they could mine these helium energy mines and sell them to the republic.

The two sides complemented each other.

Whether it was based on feelings or interests, the relationship between the radioactive people and the republic had been good for a long time. In fact, New Star City had already been accepted by the higher-ups of the republic, and they were only lacking an opportunity to join the republic.
