"Don't be busy looking at it yet, hurry up and find a place to hide."

The turtledove was still shocked by the discovery in front of him, the small insect next to him gently pushed him, and then walked straight towards the ruins of the lost city in front of him, the turtledove looked back behind him, those "invisible hunters" had not caught up for the time being, but it was estimated that they did not throw them too far.

So if you don't want to clash with them head-on, you have to find a place to hide as the worm said.

Walking into the ruins, the turtledove realized that it was much larger than it had been when viewed from afar, and looking at the ruins around it, it was enough to imagine the city in its former form.

In fact, long before entering the ruins, the insect had already found many traces of human activity in the forests along the way, but the buildings had been covered by plants, and the insect had no way to stop and take a closer look, so it was difficult for her to confirm what she saw roughly.

In fact, as the insect had expected, the Lost City was actually much larger than she and the turtledove had seen so far, but over time, the city's borders had been eaten away by the forest, until only a fraction of what was left of it today.

The turtledove and the bug are now inside the last remaining ruins.

……

The two men walked cautiously forward, the turtledove always paying attention to the movements behind him, he was worried that the "invisible hunters" would catch up, and the little worm focused all his attention on observing his surroundings.

Through observation, the little worm found that the city has been abandoned for a long time, it should be more than ten or twenty years, as for how long it is, this little worm can't say, after all, she is not an expert in this area, and it is already quite good to be able to see more than ten or twenty years.

The worm suddenly thought of some rumors that he had heard before, it is said that after the nuclear war, all the surviving human beings were trapped in various shelters, and they could not withstand the powerful nuclear radiation of the outside world, so they could only stay in the shelter like a prison night and night, although the "Doomsday Apocalypse" plan produced a series of irreparable consequences, but it also really allowed human beings to walk in the sun and waste land again.

It's not that Worm wants to say that the "Apocalypse" plan is right, the kind of plan that will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, and even use deception and concealment to protect the entire project, is undoubtedly very wrong, what Worm wants to say is that those who have volunteered to sacrifice for the "Apocalypse" plan are not worthless.

It is rumored that the new empire tried to conquer this land known as the "Wasteland", and sent a large number of troops to this side, followed by many forces who wanted to get a piece of the pie, but unfortunately all of them returned in vain.

At that time, everyone knew that the barren land was not as "peaceful" as the extralegal land, and of course the extralegal land was not too peaceful, but at least the extralegal land would not have all kinds of experimental subjects wandering around, and they were all the kind of horror that ordinary people could hardly see in their lifetime.

As a result of word of mouth, the Badlands became more and more dangerous, and it had become a real "forbidden zone", and if it wasn't for the last resort, Rebecca and Moro were cornered, and the turtledoves and the insects wouldn't want to come here, they had already heard too many rumors about the Badlands.

But when some of the rumors really appeared, the turtledove and the worm were not as scared of it as they were at the beginning.

……

The mottled and broken pavement, the sloping and collapsed houses, the moss growing on the walls, or the branches sticking out of the broken window frames, all seem to silently tell the story of this lost city, and looking at these strange scenery around him, the little worm suddenly has the illusion that he is in a comic.

Although in the same apocalypse, the insect has the most contact with the style of the streets and high-rise buildings in the new empire, and the turtledove is more familiar with this kind of decadent beauty and dilapidated place, and there are many ruins in the extralegal land where he grew up like this in the long river of history, but the ruins in the extralegal land are mostly buried in the yellow sand, and the ruins in the barren land are inseparable from the forest.

"Hey, what is this?"

As he walked, the turtledove suddenly saw something, and he bent down to pull the dirt from the side of the road twice, and picked up a plastic-sealed pamphlet from under the dirt, the paper inside had long since decayed, and only the front and back cover were wrapped in plastic.

It seemed that the plastic was stronger than the reinforced concrete, and the cement was peeling and rusting, but the plastic was still intact, and the turtledove could not help but feel a little ironic in it, and he could not say what he was satirizing.

Turtledove glanced at a few lines on the cover of the pamphlet, it turned out that this was the propaganda brochure of the new empire to mobilize ordinary people in the country to come to the barren land to reclaim the land, if this is really the case, then the history of the ruins of the city can be called "long".

"The painting is not bad," Xiao Worm further commented on the content of the cover, "It's just that the color scheme is too old-fashioned, and the copywriting is not good, I really don't know if these people are stupid, and they were fooled by the new empire with such a thing." ”

Turtledove knew that the worm was joking, and he really didn't know the situation at the time, but it was absolutely impossible for these people to come to the barren land just because of this kind of pamphlet, so the turtledove just smiled very cooperatively, and casually threw the pamphlet to the side of the road.

What can he do if he doesn't throw it away, the clothes on the turtledove's body are almost strips of cloth, and his pockets have long been torn in the sandstorm, he can't always hold this booklet in his hand, it would be too stupid.

As they made their way to the heart of the Lost City, the turtledove and the insect found a lot of things like this pamphlet, left over from many, many years ago, and although they didn't get much useful information, they finally made them feel more or less like they had never felt before.

History has weight.

……

The closer she got to the heart of the Lost City, the tighter Worm's brow became, as she noticed that the ground was littered with rusted bullet casings and various shattered firearms, all repeating the same words to Worm in unison:

"The fighting that used to take place here was unusually tragic."
