Chapter 82: The Dragon Who Drinks Uranium (4)
I settled about halfway up Pitchblende Mountain, and sank down onto the stone floor to catch my breath.
[I think you’re the only crazy bitch in all of Ahrens continent who’d hike in the middle of the night like this, Master.]
It wasn’t just a hike, either, but climbing up a steep, rugged mountain. If I didn’t pay attention for a single moment, I could fall to my death.
The summit I was currently climbing was called Falling Dragon Peak. Here, there was an item that could be considered a strange encounter by my standards.
“Huu.”
After burning through one stick of mana grass, my break was over. I resumed climbing.
[The concentration of natural radiation is currently 2.14 sieverts.]The amount of radiation exposure increased the higher you climbed this mountain. As the name suggested, this was due to it being a deposit containing lumps of uraninite.
[The concentration of natural radiation is currently 3.29 sieverts.]There was no modern person who didn’t know about the dangers of radiation exposure.
Even one sievert caused nausea and overall weakness of the body. If hit with something close to four sieverts, then there was a fifty percent chance that you’d in a month.
The current concentration was dangerous to the human body. There was no other reason why people weren’t up here compared to the area below where they actively mined.
“Huff, huff.”
