Chapter 54: Mecha Superman, Transform!
By the time I finished checking the electrical circuits in the vicinity, it was already about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Dropping a replacement roll of cable in the trunk of the snowmobile, Liz patted the snow on her gloves and leaned on the handrail of the carriage with a smile, looking at Yanagihara and Al and asking.
"There's still a little time until dark, how about I take you to see my treasure trove?"
Yanagihara sat in the driver's seat and started the snowmobile, and when she heard Liz's words, she raised her eyebrows, and then asked lightly.
"Junkyard?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Liz looked at Yanagihara and leaned back in surprise.
"Because, your temperament?"
"Ugh." Al, who was sitting on the side, laughed directly.
"Yanagihara, if you apologize now, I can forgive you."
Looking at Yanagihara with those crimson eyes, Liz pouted and climbed into the snowmobile compartment.
"I'm just telling the truth." Yanagihara responded in a steady tone, as if he didn't realize what he had said wrong.
"Damn, can't you just coax me?" Liz's face darkened completely.
"Anyway, are you going or not?"
"Let's go." Shrugging his shoulders, Yanagihara turned the car key in his hand: "Maybe you can get something." ”
"Then hurry up and drive, you old woman with no vision."
Sullenly kicking the back of the driver's seat twice, Liz was clearly not completely deflated.
"Where?"
"Go to Dongcheng first, then go further south, and I'll show you the way."
"Okay."
With the sound of the snowmobile, the vehicle faded away at the end of the street.
······
The snow should have been a little lighter in the afternoon, but the wind was still very strong.
This ruined dump was built on the border of the East and South Districts.
At that time, when the greenhouse was cleaned, all the useless things were discarded there, but considering that there was a possibility that it would be recycled in the future, it was not immediately incinerated.
This made Liz, a waste picker, pick up a lot of cheap.
"They're all my treasures." As for the garbage in the dump, Liz introduced it like this.
I have to admit that the sight of these garbage piling up together is indeed "spectacular", they are like small mountains stretching out in a huge clearing.
Liz leads Yanagihara and Al to a hut made of discarded slabs.
"I lived here for a long time before I found my current shelter, and it was a difficult time when I had to repair some appliances and sell them in the greenhouse to get some oxygen and food."
Putting her hand on the wall of the cabin, Liz recalled, with a rare gentle smile on her face.
"But it was also a very lively time, I had something to do every day, and I could make new discoveries every day. It was during that time that I got my first rock record. ”
With that, Liz turned around.
"I still remember the sound that sounded quietly in the garbage heap, but unfortunately I only listened to that record once, and then it was damaged."
Speaking of this, the girl's face showed a little depression.
"If I could, I'd like to hear it again, it's definitely the best record I've ever heard."
Yanagihara and Al didn't speak, and it is undeniable that the best way to regret others is to remain silent.
Because people can never truly understand the feelings of others.
"Just take a look." Liz didn't continue the conversation, but laughed again, and said with an open arm at the junkyard.
"We'll take it back if we find anything useful, and I'll have to find you two chairs that we can use."
Yanagihara didn't expect that the other party would actually remember this incident.
However, there are a lot of things in this garbage dump, and many items that are not really damaged are also thrown here, probably because they are useless to the greenhouse.
With that in mind, Yanagihara walked through the garbage heap and picked up a pair of swimming goggles covered in snow.
Wiped it briefly and put it on his eyes.
Half-ringing, nodded affirmatively.
Well, the vision is not bad, and it can be used as a windshield for Al in the future.
As time passed, Yanagihara began to appreciate the kind of fun that Riz described.
Because you never know what's going to be the next thing you're digging out of this piece of garbage.
It's not the same as exploring the ruins, because everything has been gathered in one place for you to rummage through.
And after the greenhouse was cleaned, there was no real garbage in it, basically just some discarded items.
The reason why they are piled up here is simply because there is not enough space in the greenhouse to recycle them.
In about an hour, Yanagihara had found two barely usable umbrellas, a somewhat grayed brown shirt, and three oil-based pens that had not yet been used up.
Thanks to the snow and ice, these things are quite well preserved.
Suddenly, Yanagihara seemed to have discovered something again.
She leaned down and took an object out of the garbage heap.
It was a toy, and it looked like a superman in a mecha, about 20 centimeters long, painted in red and blue.
Yanagihara knew this thing because it was one of her favorite anime shows to watch as a child.
At that time, her father would often accompany her in front of the TV, waiting for the animation to start.
So much so that she still remembers a classic line in it.
Looking at the toy in his hand intently, a shallow smile appeared on Yanagihara's face.
Halfway, she looked left and right.
After making sure that there was no one around, the unsmiling wanderer placed the toy on the ground.
Then standing in front of the toy, with one hand on his waist and the other in the air, he made a strange gesture and whispered.
"Mecha Superman, transform!"
As a child, her father would always do this action with her.
Although there is some shame, it is indeed one of her rare warm memories.
"Ahem!"
At this time, there was a sudden coughing sound from behind Yanagihara.
"Click!" This is accompanied by a flash of light and the sound of a shutter click.
Yanagihara immediately turned around, and then saw Liz and Al standing behind her.
At this time, Al was blushing, tilting his head to the side, and said embarrassedly.
"Yanagihara, so you like this kind of thing······"
"It's really childlike." Liz said with a grin and shaking the camera in her hand.
"This is the camera that Al found in the north, can you believe it, it's still working."
“······”
On the garbage pile, Yanagihara raised a hand with a dark face.
"Give me the camera."
"Oh, you're so fierce, what should I do?" Liz quirmished her eyes again.
"Give it to me!" The wanderer no longer hesitated, and flew directly to pounce.
"Wow!" The girl screamed and ran away.
"Little El, come and save me!"
In the garbage dump, everything seems to be frozen in a rather interesting moment.
It's a pity that people are not like scenery and can learn to stay.
