Chapter 1222 Wasteland
Half-collapsed houses, incomplete roofs, and ruins can be seen everywhere.
Weeds submerged the road, mud pits were scattered randomly, and everything was quiet except for a few crows flying by.
"This, this is heaven? Have you agreed on the Lingxiao Palace? Have you agreed on the Immortal Wonderland?"
Xiao Huan jumped three hundred meters high on the ground.
She was not angry, but wanted to see if there was any better scenery in the distance.
However, the scenery in the distance has not changed much.
There are still ruins everywhere, and occasionally one or two unnamed animals can be seen walking in and out of the collapsed house, which seems to have become their nest.
Some huge rusty warheads are faintly visible, with atomic symbols painted on them.
I saw some fields again, and a few people with wrinkled faces and deformed bodies were working hard in the fields. The fields were barren and none of the crops growing vigorously.
"This is too bad, much poorer than down there!" Xiao Huan looked disappointed.
“As expected.”
Wen Rensheng had a look of understanding.
This is obviously the shape of the wasteland after the nuclear explosion. No wonder the voice said that once you go up, you can't come down again.
If we come down, I believe the people on the ground will be very disappointed.
The so-called fairyland, heaven, is this virtue?
Suddenly, he also understood a question:
Why would the people in heaven use Go as a tool to restrict the inventions and creations and social progress of people below?
Why has it been a feudal society down there for thousands of years and people never made many improvements?
I am afraid that I am not only worried about technological explosions and underground rebellions, but more importantly, I don’t want the world below to make the same mistakes again.
You can still live well in feudal society, but after entering the atomic age, most people will die, and the immortals will also mutate...
"How could this be? I'll go find someone to ask." Xiao Huan Very dissatisfied.
I was originally looking forward to the Lingxiao Palace, a paradise for immortals... but the result was good, it was in ruins.
It didn’t take long for the two of them to find a man wearing tattered camouflage uniforms. He had a dark complexion, but judging from his hair and nose features, he was a white man.
"What is the history here?" Xiao Huan said directly in English.
"History? Are you not local?" The man in camouflage uniform looked at the strange group of people, one big and one small, and subconsciously hugged the garbage bag in his hand.
As a scavenger, and a lonely scavenger, he is destined to be at the bottom of this ruins.
Not only do they have to be exploited by various large organizations, but their lives are also in danger when facing some brutal hooligans and gangsters.
"Yes, we come from a place far, far away. Let's talk about your history quickly. I told you to eat this can." Xiao Huan said, conjuring a can in his hand.
"Ah, canned luncheon meat? Okay, I'll say it." The man in camouflage uniform swallowed his saliva immediately and quickly agreed.
He came out of a shelter, so he is not illiterate, which is different from most scavengers.
Because I am not illiterate, I can read the newspapers and magazines left in the ruins, and then understand the history.
It turns out that more than two hundred years ago, a nuclear war broke out here.
At this point, the man in camouflage uniform sighed, and then emphasized: "When it comes to nuclear war, you must not think that it is human greed and selfishness, these old-fashioned reasons, that lead to its outbreak. "
"This is not the case, but because a group of extraterrestrial monsters invaded. Humans resisted resolutely, but the resistance was ineffective. At this time, someone proposed a deterrence strategy, which could not defeat the monsters, but could attack what the monsters wanted to seize. Therefore, everyone is trying their best to build nuclear weapons and use the extinction of life on earth as a deterrent, hoping to force the monsters to withdraw from the earth.”
"This kind of deterrence was useful in the beginning, but it was a pity that the monster finally saw the reality. No matter how many nuclear bombs humans have, they can't really destroy the earth's biosphere. Under the control of a monster, a nuclear war broke out, and all the nuclear bombs flew out and exploded against everyone. "The wasteland appeared, but the good news is that the invading monsters retreated one after another, giving humans a chance to breathe."
" Many organizations established shelters early, and I was born and raised in a shelter. Later, the shelter resources were scarce, and I was exiled because I was not popular..."
After listening to this scavenger After talking about the history, Wen Rensheng nodded, then he reached out and grabbed the surrounding green grass, squeezed it in his hand, and soon it turned into a big gray-black rice ball.
“Eat this, don’t eat that.” Wen Rensheng handed the rice ball to the scavenger.
The scavenger took the rice ball blankly and almost missed it because it weighed at least ten kilograms. Xiao Huan threw the can away nonchalantly, and the next moment, the can turned into a piece of iron.
This is naturally an illusion.
The two said goodbye to the scavengers and left.
"Where are we going now?" Xiao Huan looked around, trying to find something interesting to do.
"Go find the person or monster who asked us to come up." Wen Rensheng said.
After a while, two mutated hounds pounced towards the two of them.
“Hey, this is interesting.” Xiao Huan grabbed them one by one, hit a home run, and threw them hundreds of meters away.
The wasteland was huge. Wen Rensheng and Xiao Huan stopped walking on the surface and flew in the air.
Flying for a while in the air, they saw a crow with two heads.
"Quack, quack, I want to eat that big guy." The two-headed crow became excited and shouted from one head.
"Then I'll eat the small one." The other head shouted.
"Crows can talk? This mutation is a bit powerful." Xiao Huan said in surprise.
"So what the scavenger said is correct. This is not an ordinary nuclear war, not an ordinary wasteland." Wen Rensheng looked at it from a distance.
He saw a huge cylindrical warhead with an eye-catching yellow nuclear energy symbol engraved on it - three fan blades within a circle.
This warhead is probably hundreds of meters high, and it is particularly eye-catching among the ruins.
It’s hard to imagine what it would do to the surrounding area if it exploded.
“Go there and have a look.” Wen Rensheng pointed at the warhead and said.
The two flew over quickly, and in order not to cause a commotion, they became invisible.
This is a steel-walled city. The thick and tall steel walls isolate danger from the outside.
Warhead is enshrined right in the city center.
After the two flew into the city, they saw that it was very lively, of course compared to the wasteland.
“Thank you to the great mushroom, it freed us from the hands of the devil!”
A group of people were worshiping under the warhead.
“Thank you to the great mushroom, it allows us to have a quiet life again!”
Turns out to be a nuclear bomb admirer.
Wen Rensheng thought in his mind.
At this time, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from the warhead:
"You finally came here, what do you think of this place?"
It turned out to be this voice , it was the voice that brought him to heaven while playing chess with Wen Rensheng.
"It's pretty good. It's much better than the scene I imagined." Wen Rensheng said sincerely.
"Hey, is this okay? I thought you would be disappointed. After all, the so-called sky is just a wasteland."
"That's because the scene I imagined at the beginning was an abyss. Hell, a boundless sea of blood, but now it seems that reality is never too good, but it is never too bad." Wen Rensheng said seriously.
"That's right. It's not too bad. I'm still alive after all." The voice praised.
