Chapter 13: The Real Nuclear Winter
Time passed quietly, and a three-pronged war over beasts, mutated plants, and humans had long since ended, leaving only stumps all over the ground, and the blood of various creatures spilled on the broken ground.
The land has lost the mutated plants that originally lived on it, and once again returned to the shape of a nuclear winter, covered in ice, and icy snowflakes fell on the area.
The abandoned human war fortifications have long been covered by the heavy snow, and the flames from the explosion cannot stir up any wind and waves under the falling snow, only to extinguish!
The silence was broken by the sound of ice breaking.
Ahem~
Between them, a human clad in a red machine crawled out from under the ice, looking as if it had just woken up from a nightmare, and even in mechanical armor it was still visible that he was weak.
I'm not dead!
That was his first feeling.
The brain did not betray humanity!
It was his second feeling.
The war is over!
This is his third sense.
Suddenly, as if awakened by something, he quickly got up and glanced around.
At this point, he didn't recognize anything around him, and he couldn't have thought of his location if it weren't for the stump of the beast he saw when he came out of the two-meter-diameter metal sphere under the ice and saw it when he broke through the ice.
Without the protection of mutant plants, the earth once again returned to its original form of nuclear winter, and the only area within a radius of the shelter that was not covered by the nuclear winter was destroyed in this war, he didn't know if the decision of the shelter was correct this time, but it had happened, and he had no way to go back to the past, not to mention that this was not something that his little character who had just become a mechanical envoy could decide.
He was Shaohua who was thrown out of the artillery fortress of the transformable war by the wisdom brain, and after a short trance, he knew that he needed to do something, instead of choosing to stand here and sigh.
He vaguely remembered that the direction in which Zhi Brain had thrown him was the center of the original mutant forest, although he didn't know what had happened after being thrown into the center of the mutant forest, and he didn't know why the plasma lightsaber he had seen shooting at the metal ball he was in before he fell unconscious hadn't killed him, but it wasn't something he was worth thinking about right now. Now he must find his way back to the Vault, even if he doesn't know if the Vault still exists.
Shao Xue wait for me, I'm sure you'll be fine!
He moved, he needed to find something that could determine the location, and that thing was still easy to find in the ruins of this battlefield, after all, it was surrounded by the remains of human war fortifications, and he only needed to find a positioning device attached to a war fortification that could still be used, although this place became a ruin, and the fortifications built by humans seemed to be all abandoned items after fighting against the desolate beasts, but Shao Hua knew the particularity of the materials used in these fortifications, Even after they explode, they don't necessarily become useless.
This was the only way he thought it was feasible, as for the stars in the sky to discern the direction.
Hehe~
Now it's a nuclear winter, the sky is full of black clouds, and the sky is full of ice and snow floating between heaven and earth. The stars now exist only in books and in the imagination of mankind, and they are no longer visible to all things on earth that live in the nuclear winter.
The books in the vault are only recorded on the earth a hundred years ago, and for him who became a mechanical envoy, those ideas of looking forward to the stars have long lost their roots, and they can stand on the ground under the nuclear winter, and the cruel reality has already broken the original delusion, yes, it is a delusion, at least for them who have become mechanical envoys, it is just a delusion.
However, the humans in the Vault who cannot become mechanical envoys are completely unaware of this, they still live in the ideals made up by the Vault, they cannot know the real reality, but this fabricated ideal is the motivation for their survival, their only hope.
Back to the ground!
This seems to be such a simple idea, but it has indeed been a hundred years, and they still can't get a glimpse of the ground even if they can't become mechanical envoys, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness, but isn't it a kind of luck?
Becoming a mechanical envoy is an enviable thing in the eyes of ordinary human beings, but only those who have truly become mechanical envoys know that it is not an enviable thing, but a thing full of suffering.
They were allowed to learn about the nuclear winter, but they signed a non-disclosure agreement just before they became mechanical emissaries - not to tell all the regular survivors of the vault anything about the ground!
For this reason, every time they return to the Vault after completing their mission, all the information they say about the ground is just an article that the Vault has already prepared.
It's good to live in your imagination!
That's the only thought they've ever had since become a mechanical emissary, but unfortunately they can't go back!
Shaohua walked on this cold ice, looking at the various stumps under the ice, he had to think of human beings.
The human race had lost the battle, he didn't think that the human race could survive the endless beast attack, and even if he didn't return to the shelter, he didn't know if the shelter still existed, but it was in ruins.
Mutant Woods!
Fortifications built by the predecessors of the machine!
It's all a thing of the past, they're buried forever under the icy ice, so how can a shelter that has lost its means of defense be a joint enemy of the beasts?
No, the enemy of the One is not counted!
He's confused!
He didn't know if he should still find his way back, he was afraid that when he went back, all he would see was an Asura hell, a picture he didn't want to see, or even didn't want to see!
It's just that there is still a trace of luck left in my heart - maybe the wild beast and the mutated plant have died together?
This is the only way he can find to comfort himself in his confusion.
Whether Shao Xue is still alive or not, and whether the captain is still alive.
It was everything he wanted to know, and it was up to him to find out for himself.
Little by little, the confusion disappeared in his eyes, and firmness gradually gained the upper hand.
That's right, he can't give up, he still has important things to do.
Shao Xue may already be waiting for me to go back to the shelter.
I can survive if I am weak, and the captain is so powerful, I will definitely survive, but I don't know, maybe they are waiting for me in the shelter with Shao Xue!
Shaohua's pace couldn't help but start to speed up, and his faith pushed him forward......
