Chapter 15: The Wasteland Age 5
The oldest of the scavengers was in their forties, and the youngest was only seventeen or eighteen years old, not counting the early development of the Western race.
Suziyu did not see a single person over the age of fifty.
Nearly half of these people have some strange wounds, some like scars after fire, some like hypertrophic cuticles, and the older people are, the more obvious this situation is, and those who are younger look a little more normal. Just when Su Ziyu's eyes fell on a long-haired woman in her twenties, the other party was also looking at him with interest, and then suddenly smiled and threw a flying kiss at him.
Su Ziyu couldn't help but look away.
At this time, Pasha walked up to him, glanced at the woman who was laughing on the other side, and reached out and pulled him directly into a large truck.
There are a lot of mechanical parts piled up on the truck, and where are they supposed to be removed?
These scavengers also have guns in their hands, but they look more peaceful and don't feel like madmen like the raiders. On the other side of the truck sat two men, one black and one white, looking like they were mixed-race, the black man's lips were a little chapped, and there was a drainage bubble at the corner of his mouth, and he was taking a paper to roll something to his mouth at the moment, and after noticing the sight of Su Ziyu and Pasha, he grinned and said, "Do you want one?" That's good stuff! β
Both shook their heads and looked away.
The black man didn't care, he lit it to himself, took a puff, and then handed it to the mixed-race white man next to him, who looked tired with guns in their hands, and after a few puffs, they were in a trance.
Decadent, depressed, passable, lifeless.
Su Ziyu did not see any hope in their eyes, and the scavengers sat in the car resting, looking as if they were numb corpses.
Soon.
They arrived near the camp.
Looking at it from a distance, Su Ziyu's expression was a little disappointed, because he thought that this would be a city, at least a decent town, but unfortunately it looked like a huge garbage dump. There were piles of plastic outside, rusty steel littered, green-headed flies swirling over the garbage pile, a large circle of rusty iron plates built into a fence, and people stood guard at the gates with guns.
"Let me see you pumping these things again, I'll break your legs!" The angry voice of the German man came.
Su Ziyu looked over and saw him tear what was suspected to be a cigarette from the mouth of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and then threw it directly on the ground and stepped on it.
"Who's giving him this! Don't blame me for being merciless! The German man had a serious expression and glanced coldly at the other humanes.
At this time, a slightly chubby middle-aged white man walked over.
The German man put on a smiling face in the next second, greeted him and said, "Hi! Bob! Old folk! How have you been doing? β
"Okay." The slightly chubby middle-aged white man hugged him, glanced at the things in the car, and asked, "How's the harvest?" Are there German and Chinese goods? β
The German man smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Most of the goods found this time are Japanese. But the quality of Japanese products is okay, and it barely works, right? β
"Made from Japan." The man named Bob smiled a little fakely when he heard this, and said, "It's all Japanese!" β¦β¦β
"You know."
"The quality of Japanese products is not very good. The ones I found now will be scrapped after a few strokes. β
"I can only give you this number of ...... price"
Bob stretched out three fingers, and saw that the German man frowned for a while, and then he smiled, patted the German man on the shoulder and said, "Old man." The next time I find a Chinese product, I will still give you the original price. I know of a place where there are a lot of Chinese goods. β
"Only you can find alloy steel that can make exoskeleton armor, I'll give you this number! β¦β¦β
The two of them hooked their shoulders and walked all the way.
The young man who was reprimanded by the German man at the beginning bent down and picked up the cigarette that had been trampled on the ground, he patted the dust on it, noticed Su Ziyu's sight, pouted, gave a warning look, turned around and hid behind the car and took a puff with the fire. The other scavengers also lazily got out of the car and walked into the camp, and the long-haired woman who had kissed Su Ziyu at the beginning winked at him, stretched out her tongue inlaid with small metal nails and licked her lips, smiling inexplicably.
"Stay away from her." Pasha's cold voice suddenly sounded, "If you don't want to get an STD. β
The two men walked towards the gate.
"Pasha!" A burly black woman ran up to Pasha and gave Pasha a hug, saying, "Thank God! You're okay! That's great! β¦β¦β
"I almost thought you ......"
Pasha broke free from the other party's embrace with some embarrassment, pointed to Su Ziyu next to him and said, "He saved me." β
"Thank you! Buddy! The black woman pounced on her and hugged her again, and Su Ziyu was stunned and didn't dodge, feeling as if she had been hit by a black bear.
"Marcella. We went in first. Pasha pulled the squirrel and ran away.
There were quite a few people in the camp.
Pasha should have some status here, many guards were greeting her, and some scrutinizing eyes fell on Su Ziyu next to her. The streets here are a little dirty, with a lot of plastic waste piled up on both sides of the road, and some discarded parts that have been dismantled and thrown aside, and on the opposite street there are two young men who look like they are selling roast rat meat with the words "Three for 10 yuan." β
Currency is issued by the chaebols.
However, it is not very convenient to circulate, in addition to the currency there are precious metals such as gold and silver, but the hardest currency is medicine, especially anti-radiation drugs. There were still a lot of people at the roast rat stall, and it seemed that most of them were scavengers, and not all of them would buy them with money, so Su Ziyu saw a lame man exchange a mechanical watch for six roasted rats. The rats, bigger than the rabbits in their memory, were roasted and squeaky and oily, and some of them sat on the side of the street and nibbled on them, offering a drink that looked like a yellow soda.
"Would you like to try it?" Pasha quipped.
Su Ziyu quickly shook his head when he heard this.
Many people here have mechanical prosthetics, but there are also some people who are not equipped with mechanical prostheses, Su Ziyu saw a young man who was cleaning the streets, very thin, dark-skinned, one of his arms was normal, and the other arm looked like an eight or nine-year-old child, after noticing Su Ziyu's gaze, he lowered his head and left quickly.
Pasha sighed and didn't speak, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go." I'll take you to the hotel first. β
There is a scrapped car in front of the inn.
The logo on it is Maserati, which looks tattered and dusty, and there are rows of bullet marks on the surface. The hotel's dΓ©cor has a cypunk look to it, with a dark and decadent feel to it, with many oddly shaped metal parts on the walls and an old record player on the counter, which looks like an unusable decoration.
The boss was a man in his fifties, and this was the first person Su Ziyu had seen who looked more than fifty years younger.
"Make a room for him." Pasha spoke.
They had taken a lot of loot from the marauders, but the most valuable box was thrown into the stinking ditch by the Suziyu, and all that was left was some currency medicine.
A young man took Suziyu to the upstairs room.
Pasha met the old man's teasing eyes, pulled him over, and lowered her voice: "Don't let those Bichi go over and disturb him at night!" Do you hear that? β
The old man smiled, straightened his clothes and said, "Understood." β
Pasha glanced at the staircase a little dismissively, and then went upstairs casually.
