Chapter 1827: A New Era
After more than a decade of war, the ground has been devastated, and because of the outbreak of a tragic nuclear war, the former fertile soil has now become a terrible land of radiation.
Only the workers whose bodies have been turned into machines are struggling to clean up the mess in these places.
After the war, the most difficult thing to deal with is actually garbage, hundreds of millions of tons of construction waste under the dumping of the city seriously affect the reconstruction work, coupled with the huge radiation and the fear of nuclear war, so now the three major people are no longer ready to build a city on the ground, all focus on the underground, ready to build a huge underground city.
And the ground is left to the poor and refugees who are homeless and homeless.
A gust of wind blows, and a wanted warrant dances with dust in broad daylight, with a photograph of Duran, depicting an extremely dangerous terrorist who lives or dies if he sees it.
The unified government accused Duran of being against humanity and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, and although many of the technologies they used were invented by Duran, they hated some of the weapons that Duran had invented during the war.
Of course, in the final analysis, it is Duran who invented the technology and shared it with everyone, which caused the war to become extremely hard, which is absolutely unforgivable.
Clucking, the loud sound of tracks ran over the wanted warrant and continued to move forward, and a blood-red tank appeared in the ruins, crushing cement irresistibly moving forward, with billowing dust behind the car.
Giant cannons, smoke grenade launchers, missile launchers, machine guns, reactive armor, this is a tank armed to the teeth.
With a click, the tank stopped, and a sturdy man with fiery red hair crawled out of the apocalyptic wasteland, he took out his binoculars to observe the terrain, and asked his companion in the car, "Is Duran really here?"
"Red wolf, we've been chasing him for three years, but we can't let go of any information about him. ”
"Okay, prepare the weapons, let's go over there and have a look. ”
In the distance, there is a gathering place for refugees, many of whom make a living by scavenging rubbish from the rubble. While the underground cities are thriving, those who have lost their country do not receive these privileges and are left to live on the surface, looking for everything they can use in the garbage.
The Red Wolf with the tank is a mercenary hired by the dungeon, who has the support of dungeon technology and is tasked with fighting terrorist groups and wanted criminals on the surface.
Red Wolf, a fearsome code name, the inhabitants of the refugee camp all hid as soon as they saw the red-haired man coming. Still, the Red Wolf caught a guy who was running slowly, and the refugees had yellow faces and thin muscles, and because they usually got sick from radiation, they couldn't afford to inject radiation drugs.
"Tell me, have you ever seen this man?!" Red Wolf pulled out an old wanted poster.
The refugee was terrified, because the mercenaries were the masters of killing people without blinking, and these refugees died in vain without human rights.
"He's on the battlefield side. The refugee said tremblingly.
This sentence made the red wolf's whole person cheer up, and he was finally found after three years: "This time we finally found him." ”
The two companions in the carriage also cheered, and it was not easy for them to do three years: "Then what are you waiting for." ”
Not far from the ruins of the city is the remains of a battlefield, which has been buried by loess, but many people are carrying metal detectors on their backs to search for the relics of the battlefield.
On the edge of the battlefield, a man wrapped his head in a towel was picking up something from the 'treasure hunters'.
"This thing can only be exchanged for half a biscuit. "Listening to the voice, it was Duran, and he was clearly enjoying the apocalyptic atmosphere.
"I still have children, okay, just give the whole piece. The treasure hunter pleaded.
"Hehe, you people really don't know how to change your lines, each of you has children and mothers to raise, but do I know that you turned around and went to gambling and spending, and you still wanted to deceive me?" Duran said that he was a master of acting, and others would not want to lie to him.
The treasure hunter could only take half a biscuit with a bitter face.
Boom, the loud noise shattered the silence of the battlefield, the red monster rushed to the battlefield, and the giant cannon missiles were all aimed at Duran, who could blow Duran into flying ashes with a snap of his fingers.
The treasure hunters fled for their lives, and they did not dare to fight the mercenaries.
Only Duran was still sitting there, even though the muzzle of the cannon was already aimed at him: "Isn't this a red wolf, you're too slow." "It seems that Duran was found on purpose.
The red wolf crawled out of the tank and looked at Duran coldly, wanting to take a good look at this wanted dangerous criminal, this terrible monster with a bounty of up to 1 billion credits, it looked normal and not terrible.
"125mm caliber heavy artillery, your tank is good, one shot should be able to take out the mechanical ghost. "Mechanical ghosts, the product of Duran, the faulty chip people, those chip people will gather together in a group because of program failures, move like tumbleweeds, and will continue to spread viruses and continue to infect normal chip people, called mechanical ghosts.
"I need your help. However, the Red Wolf did not come to capture Duran, but to ask Duran for help, and he needed Duran's technique: "I want you to help me resurrect my lover." ”
The Red Wolves tracked Duran for three years for this goal.
There are a lot of rumors about Duran now, the most exaggerated is that Duran is an omnipotent mad scientist and a person who can bring the dead back to life. The red wolf has no evidence, but he still pursues his lover relentlessly, and it took three years to stand in front of Duran.
Red Wolf's companions all know Red Wolf's goal and are willing to help him.
"It turns out that there is a corpse, how long has it been dead, is it fresh or not?"
"Shall we talk on the road?" said the Red Wolf, now that he was going to take Duran back to his homeland.
The red wolf's lover's name is Nina, because he drank water with radiation and got radiation sickness, because he was afraid of spending money on treatment, so he kept it from the red wolf, and when the red wolf found out, it was too late, even the technology of the dungeon could not save Nina.
Originally, the red wolf wanted to freeze Nina, hoping that future technology could save his lover, but the frozen quota was limited, and the seeds for fighting the Trisolaran must be provided first, and Nina, a civilian, was not eligible for the quota.
So the red wolf could only watch Nina die, and it wasn't until after Nina's death that he got a cryopod through the black market and froze his lover's body.
After that, the red wolf traveled all over the surface to find the legendary Doctor Danger, who had mastered the forbidden technology.
"I see, it's really a touching story. Duran smiled, he looked the red wolf up and down and couldn't help but say, "It's really not easy for you to break into such a big name as the red wolf with your flesh and blood." ”
Red Wolf said, "If I didn't have a chariot and companions, I wouldn't be able to fight those transhumans. "The people who have done bad things in these years have transformed their mechanical bodies, and they have also cultivated mecha martial arts, and they can only win by using tanks.
Life on the surface is too hard, and there are too many crazy people. As for where they got the technology, of course, it's on the black market.
After the establishment of the unified government, he was not in the mood to clean up the surface, but directly abandoned the surface and worked hard to build dungeons and space warships. Applied technology has been developing, and research on macroatoms is also going well.
Technology is changing and getting simpler, and many technologies flow to the surface through the black market in exchange for high prices. Although the life of the surface people is hard, they can still have some income through treasure hunting, and healthy surface people are very good laborers, and they can basically sell them at a high price to do the hardest and most tiring work.
For example, building a city in a hot and stuffy environment underground, such as going to outer space to work as a miner, in short, now the surface people are equivalent to slaves in the new era.
However, in order to survive and get jobs more conveniently, many surface people will gather above the dungeon, forming a huge slum, which is also the most rampant place in the black market.
And for surface crimes, the dungeon is not ready to invest in the construction of army army suppression, and only the space force is a real army in these years. The dungeon chose mercenaries, and the surface people are not the climate anyway, and the mercenaries and bounty hunters are enough to deal with all kinds of situations on the surface.
The people in the dungeon live underground but look up at the sky, and they still want to resist the Trisolarans. Although the poor people outside knew that the Trisolarans were coming, it was more important than the invasion or eating.
At this time, it is still one hundred and fifty years before the Trisolaran's scouts arrive on Earth, and it is only fifty years since the Trisolaran's news is exposed.
