Chapter 434: The Wild Land
Genius 3 seconds to remember the website of this site [Pen Maze Pavilion.] With the help of the cover of darkness, Fei Lun and his party easily entered this small city.
Although the population of this place did startle Faeron, in fact, the small city was far behind any of the Ninth District's settlements in the wilderness, to put it bluntly, at the level of the Middle Ages.
The reason is simple, there is no energy network here.
The importance of the energy network to the inhabitants of the wasteland is not only reflected in their own systems, but also in the fact that many engineering machines and vehicles can be started and used. This is why the core area of the 9th arrondissement is as prosperous as the city before the cataclysm. Because they have enough construction machinery, cranes, trucks, concrete trucks, and even workshops for processing steel and some infrastructure. There are even sweepers, sprinkler trucks, and fire trucks. Because of this, the 9th arrondissement is able to thrive and remain neat and clean. Even in the Liberty Square, the largest in the 9th arrondissement, you can see manicured gardens and clean and spotless floors.
There's also New Vegas, the city of joy in the wasteland that can thrive without the support of television, music, and a lot of electronic devices. Moreover, most of the gathering places in the 9th district do not need to worry too much about food, because they have enough tractors and harvesters for farming, although there is no sun, but they can build greenhouses!
As long as energy is not an issue, then nothing else is a problem, the difference is just how much. The Big Seven like Feilun, the emperor can open a presidential suite in a hotel for him, and the presidential suite can still be used, this is the credit of energy. In fact, the current ninth district already has the most basic circular industrial base, and the only problem is that the raw materials are difficult to handle. After all, before the cataclysm, the United States closed most of the mining industry. And after the cataclysm, these minerals are far away from the civilized area, and there is basically no energy network coverage, so they can only stare dryly.
For example, oil rigs and so on, there was nothing wrong with it before the cataclysm, but after the cataclysm, the wasteland dwellers couldn't go up at all......... Provided, of course, that these oil rigs have not yet been destroyed by a tsunami.
But here, it's a completely different story.
As soon as they entered the town, they smelled a foul smell, and the people who came and went looked dark and wore dirty clothes. From a distance, it looks like a slum. There were traces of excrement everywhere, and even pools of dark green sewage could be seen.
"I'm going to ..............."
At this moment, the snowbird's expression was already disgusting, and it couldn't be more disgusting.
"Doctor, let's change places......... Where can I stay here........."
"Let's go up there and go to those clean places, where there must be someone in charge."
Fei Lun also glanced at the environment here with disgust, and then immediately made a decision. Because Shar used the group stealth technique for them, Faren and the others didn't have to worry about being discovered. This time, the two goddesses also joined Fei Lun's action team, not that they planned to be Fei Lun's subordinates, but that Fei Lun agreed with the two of them that if they helped him solve this trouble this time, he would let the two goddesses go free......... Of course, the Divine Domain that he absorbed didn't want to come back.
Shar was a little dissatisfied with this, but Suren didn't seem to care much, these days she had been reading various philosophical works on the earth, and it seemed that she was planning to reinvent her own teachings. Occasionally, he would ask Feron questions about the connection between the development of productive forces and the progress of human civilization.
Frankly speaking, Feren is more wary of Suren, and Shar likes to make trouble, but Feren also discovered that she is an old coward, and she can do it behind her back and never show it in front of others. Maybe it has something to do with Shar's priesthood, after all, she is a god of darkness and secret, and she is not good at the rhythm of righteousness and light.
But Suren is different, Feren knows that her teachings are more peaceful and kind, and to put it bluntly, she just hopes that the world can be better. But in their world, it seems that because of the killing of demons, demons, believers and gods, the productivity of the entire civilization is maintained at a very low level. Therefore, Su Lun is very fascinated by the power on the earth that can greatly improve civilization and living standards, and he really doubts that if this goddess is released and returned to the mountain, it will not be said that in a few decades, he will make an America......... I guess it's no problem to make a sun that never sets.
But Feron is not worried, isn't there still Shar here?
After staying with the sages of the two goddesses for so long, Faeron also found that the relationship between Shar and Suren is actually a bit like vines and trees, just like in the primeval forest, a towering tree rises from the ground, and the vines will gradually grow, entangle, and grow with the power of the tree.
It's just that this is not a symbiotic relationship, because the only purpose of the vine is to entangle the big tree of Suren, so even if Suren really built a sunset, Feren estimates that Shar will secretly instigate some kind of terrorist organization to find a way to destroy her.
"The people here look so pathetic........."
Looking at the people on the road who were yellow and thin, and looked a little better than African refugees, Su Lun couldn't help but sigh. On the contrary, at this moment, Shar showed an excited expression, as if a thief had entered an unsuspecting Paris museum.
"I smelled despair and fear, and I said, how about you hand these people over to me? I'm sure they'll start a rebellion and destroy these filthy maggots once and for all......... Of course, in exchange, the souls of these people belong to me, no problem. ”
"You can think about it."
For Sha'er's proposal, Pheren did not refuse. After all, he brought Shar here for this, and the inhabitants of the wasteland can't drive in with a large army, so they simply sign an offensive and defensive alliance with Shar. The Divine Sage is still quite talented in fooling people or brainwashing, and it is not surprising that Shar has such confidence. But not now, Faeron finally found some clues to the Truth Society, but he can't just break it off.
Not to mention, if Shar is allowed to do her business now, then it will cause herself big trouble.
It is not difficult to find the high-ranking officials here, people like to enjoy it, and it is naturally more obvious here. Although Faeron was not sure what kind of organization the truth would be, it was certain that they did not have the glorious tradition of a family of proletarian brothers, and after quietly passing through the filthy slums, Faeron and the others soon came to the other side of the town, near the mountains and a small river nearby. Architecturally, it was supposed to be a town hall, but it is now apparently the private residence of a high-ranking official.
The reason is simple, just look at the soldiers standing guard at the door and the machine guns set up there.
"What a bunch of rubbish."
Under the effect of group stealth, everyone swaggered directly through the main entrance, and Snowbird also took the time to make a grimace at the soldiers guarding the door. But fortunately, she also knew that Faeron was here to do something important, so she didn't make any over-the-top moves.
"Squeak———!"
Coincidentally, just as Fei Lun and the others walked to the gate of the city hall, the heavy gate was suddenly pushed open, and then a man in a military uniform walked out with his head held high, and behind him, a middle-aged man in a dirty suit followed.
"I don't want to say that a second time, Mayor Mare, this is a requirement of the Truth Society, and you must do it!"
"Yes, I know, but we can't spare any more manpower........."
"If you can't draw it, you have to draw it! The truth has given you everything and protected you from the monsters in the wilderness, and now is the time for you to repay! At least 50 people, within 10 days, if within 10 days, you can't complete the task, then we will replace it with another person! ”
After the soldier said this, he opened the door of the carriage parked next to him without looking back, and then got into the carriage and left. The middle-aged man in the suit bowed his head profusely and responded again and again, until the soldier left, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around and walked back dejectedly.
And looking at his back, Faeron exchanged a look with the snowbird.
That's him.
