Chapter 42: District 8

"My name is Scott, and this is my partner, Mia. After Pete left, the black-armored young man pointed to another slender and tall black-armored woman next to him, and said to Du Dian and the others: "In these ten days of scavenging, we are the captain of this operation, and everyone had better obey my command, if there is chaos, it will not be good for everyone, and if you return to the consortium, there will be a lot of punishment."www.biquge.info ”

Hearing the punishment, Macon, Zach, and a few other children with perverse personalities immediately obeyed and honestly agreed.

Scott said to Dudian, "Little one, what's your name?" ”

"Dudian."

"The potential is good." Scott nodded slightly, and said, "But don't be proud, in front of death, potential is meaningless, you will follow me later, and I will tell you some things that need attention." ”

Does this mean to be taught by hand? Du Dian couldn't help but feel a lot more favorable to this person, and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

When the people behind heard this, how could they not know that this was the meaning of focusing on cultivating Du Di'an, for a while, many people were secretly jealous in their hearts, but they were just angry in their hearts and didn't say anything.

After all, Dudian's seed identity is there, and he has received two blessings, whether it is force or identity, it is not something they can shake. Moreover, there are three roommates behind Du Dian, who are the most powerful and united small group in their group, even if they are short-tempered children who do not care about the consequences, they do not dare to provoke Du Dian, Mei, Zha, and Sha.

"Well, this is your dry food and water for the past ten days, each person will take one for himself, I brought it to you this time, and next time you will go to the headquarters to get it." Scott said, pointing to a dozen black backpacks on the ground next to him.

Dudian looked at the black traveler's backpack, stepped forward to lift one, untied the rope, and saw that the backpack bag contained some mud pills, which he had seen at Jura's house, were mashed potato balls, which tasted very unpalatable, but were easy to fill...... In other words, they often eat the first one and have no appetite for the second one.

Mei, Zha, and Sha followed behind Du Di'an, and quickly picked and chose three backpacks that looked slightly larger.

Seeing that the people in the back also had to choose like the three of them, Scott smiled: "Don't choose, it's all the same weight, this is given by the headquarters, there will never be a mistake, use your little cleverness in the back." ”

Mei, Zha, and Sha laughed.

"What are you?" At this time, Scott noticed the black powder tube stuck in Dudian's waist.

"Gadgets, not worth mentioning." Dudian said, "It won't get in my way." ”

Seeing him say this, Scot nodded, said no more, turned to the twenty consortium scavengers in the distance and said, "Come and assemble, get ready to go." ”

The twenty consortium scavengers are all adults, dark-skinned, and some are older than Scott, at this moment, under Scott's summons, all gathered over, their standard soft armor is the same as that of Du Dian and others, including the short sword weapons, obviously, in these hardware equipment, with the strong financial resources of the consortium, they can still guarantee the supply.

"Boss Sko, which district are we going to today?" A slender young man asked.

"District Eight." Scott turned to the black-armored woman 'Mia' next to him, who was silent, and said, "It's not early, let's go, shall we?" ”

Mia nodded slightly.

Scott beckoned, took the lead in opening the way in front, and said to Dudian and other newcomers behind: "This outer edge area has been completely emptied, you don't have to worry about anything, save your strength first." ”

Hearing this, Du Dian and the others thought the same, and their tense muscles gradually relaxed, and they looked around at the surrounding environment.

Nearby was a wasteland, and the ground was quite damp, and Dudian had noticed that there was a lot of moss crawling on the huge wall behind him, which was completely different from the sandy soil behind the huge wall.

"Is this the outside of the giant wall, it's completely different from what I imagined, I thought there was a desert everywhere." Macon, who was behind Dudian, looked around and said in surprise.

Zachi smiled: "Now you don't have to worry about the water source, you can dig a hole in any place to squeeze out the water." ”

Scott, who was in front of him, heard his words, glanced back at him, and said, "There are puddles everywhere on this ground, and you don't need to dig holes, but I'm afraid you won't dare to drink it." ”

"Huh?" Zachi was stunned.

Seeing that Scott didn't have an explanation, Dudian said to him: "The radiation outside this huge wall is too high, even if it is water filtered by the soil, it can't be drunk, if you want to drink water, you need at least a deep water source of tens of meters below to be suitable for the human body, with our current strength to dig a few tens of meters, it is the same as the difficulty of digging a few meters in the desert before, it is just a waste of physical strength, so the water source must be very economical." ”

Hearing Dudian's words, Zachi and several other children with puzzled expressions came to their senses.

Scott glanced back at Dudian, didn't say anything, and continued to lead the way in front. After walking for more than ten miles, they suddenly came to a place with little vegetation on the ground, to be precise, in front of a ruin.

Seeing this ruin, Du Dian was stunned.

This...... A ruined city?

In front of him, there was an asphalt street, but the street was covered with moss and luxuriant vegetation, and the street was flanked by concrete high-rises, and there were also two or three storey shops, all of which were now crumbling and dilapidated, and some were left with a crumbling wall, isolated with vegetated vines and moss, as if in a few years it would be completely buried by these densely growing plants.

Scattered along the desolate streets were tattered pieces of clothing, apparently of a very long age, soaked in rain and covered in dust, and long since turned into hard, black stone-like objects, with only a rough outline of shape.

Dudian was completely stunned.

This...... It's exactly like a ruined city!

Could it be that this is what the earth will look like in 300 years?

Once prosperous, once the lights of civilization, once all over the earth, human footprints all over the earth...... Could it be that it is like this ruined place in front of you, leaving only the empty shell and body after the disaster?

He suddenly felt like his chest was blocked by something, he couldn't breathe, and his eyes were a little moist.

"Dean, Dean?" Macon, seeing Dudian stop suddenly, couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

Dudian came back to his senses and saw that Scott and Mia had already walked into the street in front of him, and hurriedly followed. It's just that when he stepped into this asphalt street covered by vegetation, his heart was full of tastes, and the thoughts of his parents and sister crawled like flames in his mind, but he was very sad to understand that what was gone could never come back, this was reality, just like the ruins he saw in front of him!

"This is District Nine, and it's been scavenged." Seeing that the people behind him didn't follow in time, Scott turned around and beckoned: "Speed up, don't waste your life." ”

Dudian pursed his lips slightly, and lowered his head to follow him.

Along the way, Dudian saw that the streets had been scavenged so clean, that there were basically no items left except for the collapsed houses, and that there should have been a lot of scrapped cars on a wide street like this, but there was not a single one to be seen here, and it was clear that, as Scott said, they had scavenged them back.

It's just that after these technological products of the old era are picked up, why is the technology in the giant wall still so backward?

Could it be that corrosion in this place where nuclear radiation is severe for 300 years has long been worthless?

He followed Scott and Mia, like a ghost, looking at everything that was once familiar, but could only be silent.
