Chapter Eighty-Nine: Locke's Gathering Place

The Locke Colony, located in the northwest corner of the Hebrew continent, near the barren Desert of Death, has a permanent population of only 70,000.

As a small village on Earth, Locke's Gathering Place is as remote and backward as his position, with an old and barren smell everywhere.

"In addition to the equipment on the city wall and the gate, there is a bit of a taste of advanced civilization, and the living conditions inside are simply inferior to the earth."

At this time, Dong Xuan, who was complaining in his heart, was walking on the street with a swagger against the appearance and identity of the young man.

Not to mention anything else, at least the medical level of the Anders is still very good, and all kinds of medical equipment are fiddling with for a while, and a few people are almost fine if they lie in bed for at least three months on Earth.

Of course, the price is also unusual, it costs thirty energy blocks, which makes the other two people feel distressed to death...

However, despite the heavy losses, they somehow survived inexplicably, and they also picked up the corpse of a mature giant hunting spider for nothing.

According to the cost, there is still money to earn, coupled with the physical state, the three of them simply decided to take separate vacations and recuperate first.

Obviously, this is exactly what a certain imposter wants, so Dong Xuan has become in this leisurely state.

"What's next..."

He pondered as he wandered aimlessly.

Beneath his feet was a road paved with an unknown substance, somewhat similar to the asphalt of the earth, which was very smooth and comfortable to walk on, but the corresponding road was sparse pedestrians and old shops.

This kind of environment, which is like patched clothing, shows the truest state of this place - a corner of the very edge of civilization

However, this kind of place is just right for him, an outsider, to get used to the environment of Andersen's life first.

If he goes to some high-tech environment as soon as he comes up, he can easily leak flaws.

If you remove the cloak of a higher-level civilization, Locke's gathering place is actually quite chaotic, especially in terms of goods, which makes him feel like visiting a museum.

He saw the brand-new metal longsword lying quietly there, as if waiting for a chivalrous master, but next to it was a half-worn magnetic gun;

In the medical hall, several housekeeping robots were cleaning the bloodstained medical equipment, Dong Xuan seemed to see the heartache wail of the strong captain on it, and on the side of the road opposite the door, several people were selling all kinds of cheap herbs...

A huge beast-pulled truck was loaded with a lot of recycled e-waste, and a silver floating cart suddenly whizzed past it, causing a wave of exclamations and beast roars

These products that spanned several levels of civilization were all mixed together, which was simply an eye-opener for Dong Xuan.

However, when you think about it, this is actually a very normal thing.

It has only been two hundred years since the beginning of the Wasteland Era, which is a matter of two generations for the Anders, and the devastation and chaos caused by the original disaster are still deeply affecting everyone's lives.

Civilization and primitiveness are intertwined to form the bizarre and deformed landscape of today.

Of course, tools or something are not the most important problems in this era, and what is really fatal is actually the lack of material and the collapse of the civilized order.

Looking at the unstoppable and tough man in the hovercar, and then turning his head to look at the few poor people huddled in the corner, skinny, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"These Are the Last Days"

Strength and force have become the most solid passes, and exploitation has become more **** and cruel.

Just like the slogan that many people on the earth have shouted - this is the paradise of the strong!

The strong can have everything, but for the weak, this era is the most terrible purgatory in the world

"We must not let the earth become this virtue!"

The realistic teaching materials made Dong Xuan truly feel the horror of large-scale destruction wars such as world wars for the first time. 、

Especially those mushrooms and biochemical research in the hands of various countries have become the target in his heart that must be controlled, and those who dare to touch the interests of the entire human race must die!

However, sometimes the accident comes so suddenly, just when he secretly swore in his heart, Dong Xuan glanced around casually, and after that, his gaze suddenly froze.

"This is?!"

His heart jumped suddenly, and an unbelievable thought began to pop through his mind, for which he simply took a few steps to come closer.

It is a stall that sells all kinds of old items.

It seemed that the young stall owner, who had not yet reached adulthood, got a piece of rag from nowhere, spread it directly on the ground, and put more than a dozen equally shabby things on the ground and began to sell them.

He sells some gadgets that are not very good before, covered with dust and even slightly damaged, and some people believe that it is scrapped garbage.

Therefore, even the most ferocious guy did not have the slightest desire to rob after seeing it, but let this unusually thin teenager successfully sell it.

"Very smart little guy"

This thought flashed in Dong Xuan's mind, but at the moment, he didn't care about this young man's question at all, but couldn't wait to lean down and pick up an unusually shabby thing about the size of a palm and look at it seriously.

It's a little different, but the almost iconic screen, the virtual buttons, all show, this is a future version of the phone!

"It's so similar."

Squinting his eyes, Dong Xuan didn't speak, he directly stretched out his finger and pressed it gently, and a small virtual light screen suddenly floated out from above the transparent screen!

"This type of layout and functionality"

The thoughts in his heart became more and more turbulent, and when his fingertips slided, there was even an extremely familiar input method system!

It's just that the characters on this brother are not in English, but instead they are Hans Christian Andersen's characters

At this time, the young man saw him swinging for a long time and thought that he had become interested in this thing, and his spirit was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth to sell it.

"Would you like to buy this old-fashioned communicator?"

Seeing Dong Xuan make a listening expression, the young man suddenly became more and more excited, and said in a slightly raised tone:

"Don't look at me, this is the oldest model, but this model is said to be an antique imitation from time immemorial! Moreover, satellites that still play a role in space can also be used in many remote places, which has a higher signal guarantee than the commonly used virtual communicators."

Hearing the "ancient" and "imitation" mentioned in the other party's gushing words, Dong Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed a terrifying essence.

"Ancient? Brandy's man?! ”

Raising his eyebrows, he took a deep breath and gently put down the "Future Phone" in his hand, turned his head and began to look at other things.

Although they were all different, he soon saw a lot of familiar shadows among these shabby things

"These are imitations of ancient items?"

Facing Dong Xuan's question, the young man hesitated.

"It should be that these things are said to have been left by my grandfather, and they are custom collections that specifically imitate ancient times, but unfortunately they have entered the wasteland era, because they are not as easy to use as the equipment that is now in circulation, and they are not worth much."

Hearing this, although it is impossible to determine whether it is true or false, it is clear that it is enough for someone.

"Oh, human modern civilization, the miracle of a hundred years of scientific and technological leaps"

There was no need for more information, now these things were enough to make Dong Xuan think of a lot of things in an instant.

In this world, there will never be such coincidences, one may be an accident, but so many coincidences add up, then it will only be an inevitability!

Plus something that the teenager mentioned

"Obviously, those Westerners must have obtained some creations left by Brandy's ancestors!"

However, this is not unexpected.

After all, in addition to the city where the Gate of Xenomorph is located, the ancestors of Brandina who lived in the diaspora on Earth have established hundreds of settlements one after another.

Although there are not enough materials to build a protective shield similar to Helen's city, the changes of the next tens of thousands of years will inevitably destroy most of the traces, but there will still be a small amount of things left behind.

"I don't know, there are shadows of these things in myths and legends around the world"

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Helen, you know, no one knows this kind of thing better than her!

"Ask Helen when no one is around, she controls the entire human network, and she will definitely be able to find some clues"
