Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 1222 Wasteland
Half-turned houses, incomplete roofs, and ruins can be seen everywhere.

Weeds flooded the road, mud pits were distributed in disorder, and there was silence everywhere, only a few crows flew by.

"This, this is the sky? Is it the promised Lingxiao Palace? The promised fairyland?"

Xiao Huan jumped 300 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.

There are still ruins everywhere, and occasionally one or two unnamed animals can be seen coming in and out of the collapsed house, which seems to have become their lair.

Some huge rusty warheads are faintly visible, with atomic symbols painted on them.

I saw some fields again, and several wrinkled and deformed people were working hard in the fields.The fields are barren and the crops are not vigorous.

"It's too bad, it's much poorer than below!" Xiao Huan looked disappointed.

"Sure enough."

Wen Rensheng had a clear expression on his face.

This is obviously the wasteland form after the nuclear explosion. No wonder the voice said that once it goes up, it cannot come down again.

If it comes down, I believe the people on the ground must be very disappointed.

The so-called fairyland, the kingdom of heaven, is this virtue?
Suddenly, he also understood a problem:
Why do the people in the sky use the game of Go to imprison the inventions and creations of the people below, and the progress of society?

Why has the following been a feudal society for thousands of years, and people have never made much improvement?
I'm afraid it's not just about worrying about technological explosions and underground rebellion, but more because I don't want the world below to repeat the same mistakes.

You can still live well in the feudal society, but after entering the atomic age, most people will die, and the immortals will also mutate...

"Why is this happening, I'll ask someone." Xiao Huan was very dissatisfied.

Originally looking forward to the Lingxiao Palace, the Immortal Wonderland... the result is very good, it is in ruins.

It didn't take long for the two to find a man in a tattered camouflage uniform. His complexion was very dark, but from the features of his hair and the bridge of his nose, he could tell that he was a white man.

"What's your history like here?" Xiao Huan said directly in English.

"History? Aren't you locals?" The man in camouflage looked at the strange one big and one small, and subconsciously hugged the garbage bag in his hand tightly.

As a scavenger, or a solitary scavenger, he is destined to be the bottom of the ruins.

Not only do they have to be exploited by various large organizations, but their lives are in danger when they face some brutal hooligans and gangsters.

"Yes, we came from a very far away place, hurry up and tell us about your history, and I told you that I will give you this canned food." Xiao Huan said, and a canned food appeared in his hand.

"Ah, canned luncheon meat? Okay, let me say." The man in camouflage immediately swallowed his saliva and quickly agreed.

He came out of a shelter, so he is not illiterate, which is different from most scavengers.

Because he is not illiterate, he can understand the newspapers and magazines left in the ruins and learn about history.

It turned out that more than 200 years ago, a nuclear war broke out here.

Speaking of this, the man in camouflage uniform heaved a long sigh, 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, human beings had resolutely resisted, but the resistance was ineffective. At this time, someone proposed a deterrent strategy. They couldn't defeat the monsters, but they could attack the territory the monsters wanted to seize. So everyone desperately built nuclear weapons. Using the extinction of life on Earth as a deterrent, I want to force the monsters to withdraw from the earth."

"At the beginning, this kind of deterrence was still useful, but it was a pity that the monster finally saw the truth. No matter how many nuclear bombs humans have, they can't really destroy the earth's biosphere. surface."

"The wasteland then appeared, but the good news is that the invading monsters retreated one after another when they saw that there was no oil and water, giving humans a chance to breathe."

"Many organizations established shelters early on. I was born and raised in the shelters. Later, the shelters were short of resources. I was exiled because I was not popular..."

After listening to the history told by the scavenger, Wen Rensheng nodded, then he stretched out his hand to grab the surrounding grass, squeezed it in his hand, and after a while, it turned into a big gray-black rice ball.

"Eat this, you can't eat that." Wen Rensheng handed the rice ball to the scavengers.

The scavengers took the rice ball in a daze, and almost missed it, because it weighed at least ten catties.

Xiao Huan threw away the can, and the next moment, the can turned into a piece of iron sheet.

This is of course an illusion.

The two bid farewell 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 rushed towards the two of them.

"Hey, this is interesting." Xiao Huan grabbed them one by one in each hand, hit a home run, and threw it a few hundred meters away.

The wasteland was huge, and Wen Rensheng and Xiao Huan didn't walk on the surface afterward, but flew in mid-air.

Flying in the air for a while, they saw a two-headed crow.

"Quack, quack, I want to eat that big guy." The two-headed crow became excited and shouted one at a time.

"Then I'll eat the small ones." The other head shouted.

"Crows can talk? This is a bit mutated." Xiao Huan was surprised.

"So what the scavengers said is correct. This is not an ordinary nuclear war, nor an ordinary wasteland." Wen Rensheng watched from a distance.

He saw a huge cylindrical warhead with a striking yellow nuclear energy logo engraved on it-three fan blades in a circle.

This warhead is probably hundreds of meters high, and it is particularly eye-catching in the ruins.

It's hard to imagine what it would do to the surroundings if it exploded.

"Go there and have a look." Wen Rensheng pointed to the warhead and said.

The two flew over quickly, and they were both invisible in order not to cause a commotion.

This is a city surrounded by steel walls. The thick and tall steel walls keep danger out.

Warhead is enshrined in the city center.

After the two flew into the city, they saw that it was very lively, of course compared to the wasteland and wilderness.

"Thanks to the great mushroom that set us free from the devil!"

A group of people are prostrating under the warhead.

"Thanks to the great mushroom, it allows us to have a quiet life again!"

It turned out to be a nuke worshiper.

Wen Rensheng thought to himself.

At this time, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from the warhead:

"You're finally here, what do you think of this place?"

It turned out that this voice was exactly the one that played chess with Wenren and brought him to the sky.

"Very good, 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 piece of wasteland."

"That's because the scene I imagined at the beginning was an abyss of hell with a boundless sea of ​​blood, but now it seems that the reality is never too good, but it's never too bad either." Wen Rensheng said seriously.

"Well said, it's not too bad, and they're all alive after all." The voice praised.
