"My name is Scott, and this is my partner, Mia." After Pete left, the young man in black soft armor pointed to another slender and tall woman in black armor next to him, and said to Du Dian and others: "In this ten During the day's scavenging, we are the captains of this operation, and everyone should follow my command, if something goes wrong, it will be of no benefit to everyone, and there will be a lot of punishment when returning to the consortium."
Hearing the punishment, Macon, Zach and several other surly children immediately became obedient and obediently agreed.
Scott said to Du Dian: "Little guy, what's your name?"
"Dudian."
"The potential is good." Scott nodded slightly, and said, "But don't be proud. Potential is meaningless in front of the god of death. You will follow me later, and I will tell you something that needs attention."
Does this mean to teach by hand? Du Dian couldn't help but increase his favorability for this person, and nodded slightly to express his understanding.
When the people behind heard this, how could they not know that this meant to focus on cultivating Du Dian. For a while, many people were secretly jealous, but they were just annoyed and didn't say anything.
After all, Du Dian's seed identity is there, and he has also received two blessings. Neither force nor identity can be shaken by them. Moreover, behind Du Dian, there are three brothers in the dormitory. They are the strongest and most united small group among them. Sha three people.
"Here, here are your dry food and water for ten days. Each of you will get one for yourself. This time I got it for you. Next time you go to the headquarters to get it yourself." Scott pointed to a dozen black people on the ground next to them. Said the backpack.
Du Dian looked at the black traveler's backpack. He lifted one up and untied the rope. He saw some mud balls in the backpack. He had seen them at Jula's house. They were mashed potato balls. They tasted very bad, but Easy to be full... Or, if you often eat the next one, you will lose your appetite and eat the second one.
Mei, Zha, and Sha followed Du Dian, quickly picked, and chose three backpacks that looked slightly larger.
Seeing that the people behind should choose like the three of them, Scott smiled and said: "Don't choose, they all have the same weight. This is given by the headquarters. There is never a mistake. Use your cleverness later. Bar."
Mei, Zha, and Sha smiled contemptuously.
"What are you?" At this moment, Scott noticed the black gunpowder tube on Du Dian's waist.
"Small stuff, it's not worth mentioning." Du Dian said: "It won't hinder me."
Seeing what he said, Scott nodded, said nothing more, turned to the twenty scavengers from the consortium in the distance, and said, "Come and gather, ready to go."
These twenty consortium scavengers are all adults with dark complexion, and some are older than Scott. At this moment, under the call of Scott, they all gathered here. Their standard soft armor is the same as that of Du Dian and others. The same is true for dagger weapons. Obviously, with the financial strength of the consortium, the supply of these hardware equipment can still be guaranteed.
"Boss Sko, which district are we going to today?" A skinny young man asked.
"Area No. 8." Scott turned to the silent black-armoured woman "Mia" and said, "It's getting late, shall we go?"
Mia nodded slightly.
Scott waved his hand, took the lead to open the way ahead, and said to Du Dian and other newcomers behind: "This outer edge has been completely emptied, you don't have to worry about anything, save your energy first."
Hearing this, Du Dian and others thought the same thing, their tense muscles gradually relaxed, and they looked around at the surrounding environment.
There is a wasteland near here, and the ground is very humid. Du Dian noticed earlier that there are a lot of moss on the huge wall behind, which is completely different from the sandy land behind the huge wall.
"Is this the outside of the giant wall? It's completely different from what I imagined. I thought there were deserts everywhere." Macon behind Du Dian looked around and said in surprise.
Zach laughed and said, "Now you don't have to worry about the water source, you can dig a hole anywhere and squeeze out the water."
Scott at the front heard his words, glanced back at him, and said, "There are puddles everywhere on the ground, you don't need to dig them, I'm afraid you won't dare to drink them."
"Huh?" Zach was stunned.
Seeing that Scott didn't mean to explain, Du Dian said to him: "The radiation outside this giant wall is too high, even if it is filtered by the soil, it cannot be drunk. If you want to drink water, you need at least tens of meters deep Only the water source can be suitable for the human body. With our current strength, we need to dig tens of meters, which is the same difficulty as digging a few meters in the desert before.
Hearing Du Dian's words, Zaqi and several other children with puzzled expressions came to their senses.
Scott looked back at Du Dian, said nothing, and continued to lead the way. After walking for more than ten miles, they suddenly came to a place with less vegetation on the ground. To be precise, they came to a ruin.
Seeing the ruins, Du Dian was stunned.
This... is actually a dilapidated city
In front of his eyes, there was actually an asphalt street, but the street was covered with moss and lush vegetation. On both sides of the street were high-rise concrete buildings, and there were also two or three-story shops. At this moment, all of them were collapsed and dilapidated, and some only one side was crumbling. The ground wall is isolated, covered with vegetation vines and moss, as if in a few years, it will be completely buried by these densely growing plants.
On the desolate street, there are some broken clothes scattered. These messy clothes obviously have a very long time. They have been wet by the disaster rain and covered with dust. They have long been turned into hard and black stone-like objects. shape outline.
Du Dian was completely stunned.
This... is exactly what a city in ruins looks like!
Could it be that this is the appearance of the earth three hundred years after the outbreak of the disaster
The prosperity in the past, the lights of civilization in the past, the human footprints all over the earth... Could it be that, just like the ruins in front of you, only the empty shells left after the disaster
He suddenly felt as if his chest was blocked by something, he couldn't breathe, and his eyes were a little moist.
"Dean, Dean?" Macon couldn't help but patted Du Dian on the shoulder when he saw Du Dian stop suddenly.
Du Dian came back to his senses and saw that Scott and Mia had already walked into the street ahead, and hurriedly followed. However, when the soles of his feet stepped into this piece of asphalt street covered by vegetation, he felt various feelings in his heart. The thoughts of his parents and sister filled his mind like flames, but he understood very sadly that what passed away would never come again. I can't come back, this is reality, just like the ruins I saw before my eyes!
"This is District 9, which has already been scavenged." Seeing that the people behind did not catch up in time, Scott turned his head and waved: "Follow up, don't waste your life."
Du Dian pursed his lips slightly, bowed his head and followed him.
Passing along the way, Du Dian saw that the street had been scavenged extremely clean. Basically, except for the collapsed houses, there was nothing left. On such a spacious street, there should be many scrapped cars, but there is none here. See, obviously, as Scott said, they have already picked up the waste and returned it.
However, after these technological products of the old era are picked up, why is the technology in the giant wall still so backward
Could it be that three hundred years of corrosion in this place with severe nuclear radiation has no value for research
He followed behind Scott and Mia, like a ghost, looking at everything that was once familiar, but could only remain silent.
