Chapter 186: Abandoned City
After a day of driving in this seemingly endless wasteland, a few scattered fields gradually appeared, and then there were endless fields with green crops growing on them.
Needless to say, everyone in the convoy knows that it must be close to the city.
Indeed, it is only in an area close to the city that there is such a large area of arable land, and the scale of the area alone is astonishing, it is so flat and huge, and the car runs for almost three hours, and it is still an endless amount of arable land. There are people working on it, and from time to time you can see racks of large agricultural machinery at work.
On the highway, there are always transport pallet trucks transporting agricultural machinery whistling by.
Zhang Jianyang said: "Guys, this place belongs to Anyuan City, which is not only the largest city in East China, but also the largest grain producing place in East China, and has the title of East China Granary." In fact, the cultivated land we have been seeing is only a small part of the cultivated land in Yasuhara City. Theoretically, the grain it produces in one season is enough for the entire East China region for two years. ”
Everyone is amazed, the population density in East China is high, and one season is needed for two years, so you can imagine how much.
"In fact, the most important source of income in Yasuhara City is grain, and three-quarters of the grain is delivered to other places every year."
After another half an hour, the vehicles and caravans on the road became dense, and it was as if the road was finally alive. In the far distance, in the skyline, there were patches of pale blue and hazy high-rise buildings in the Great Xia Cloud Corridor, where was the location of Yasuhara City.
It seems to be very close, but on the highway, it took an hour and a half to finally enter Yasuhara City.
Yasuhara is a very traditional city, no different from the metropolis before the nuclear war, full of high-rise buildings.
The convoy only stayed in Yasuhara City for one night, and the next morning it set off again and left Yasuhara City.
After almost a day of driving through the endless farmland, the drive returned to an endless barrenness. The movement of the earth's crust caused by the nuclear war has turned this area into a huge plain area far beyond imagination, and if this plain area is fully utilized, it will produce enough crops to feed the current population of the country.
Tao Ruhai They thought that the destination this time was all Anyuan City, who knew that they just stayed for one night and left.
However, they didn't ask Zhang Jianyang where his next stop was, anyway, they believed in Zhang Jianyang, no matter where he took him, as long as he could take risks, it would help them improve their star power, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire?
The convoy came to a fork in the road, and under the command of Zhang Jianyang, the convoy walked on a road that few vehicles knew at a glance.
The sides of this road are even more desolate, with lots of trees growing on both sides. However, the trees on both sides of the road are still intact, and after a hundred years of growth, they have become towering giant trees. Vehicles walk on the road as if they were walking through the gaps of giant trees. The sunlight passed through the giant trees and fell onto the road full of fallen leaves, and the cars sped by, always rolling up the fallen leaves all over the ground.
In short, it is a poetic highway that is very stable and calming.
Some of the iron street signs have been corroded by rust for a hundred years to the point that some of them are still broken, and they are almost unrecognizable.
A large number of street lights, only one pillar remains...... Half an hour later, a large number of buildings appeared on both sides of the road, many of which had collapsed due to the abandonment of people and the erosion of time. What was once prosperous has now become a cloud of smoke. And these buildings, more and more, are becoming more and more dense, and gradually form a large area of buildings.
This is the urban characteristic of the country at the beginning, always before you enter the city, there are countless buildings along the way, they are built on the side of the road, the closer you get to the city, some of them form satellite towns of the city. Judging from satellites, a city will expand several times because of such characteristics.
However, as we got closer to the city, all of a sudden, the buildings changed.
Countless buildings seemed to be swept by an invisible force, and between every door and window, there were shattered, and a large number of billboards fell to the ground or were shattered. Streets and highways are littered with cars that have been corroded by rust and so on. It's like the end of the world, and it's messy, and you can't imagine people fleeing frantically in a panic.
The convoy drove along the complex main road leading to the city, and the further it went, the more serious the damage to the building became.
When it really appeared outside the outskirts of this city, all I saw was the scene of being razed to the ground, and the whole city was like being hit by an extraterrestrial meteorite, and most of the city was turned into powder, and a huge crater appeared. After a hundred years, this large pit turned into a huge lake.
Under the sun, the bottom of the lake reflects a crystal luster, which makes the entire lake surface form a light refraction effect, which is very psychedelic.
In fact, anyone who has known about a nuclear explosion knows that at the center of the explosion, the high temperature generated will vaporize all objects, like the sand in the soil, at high temperatures, it will form glass crystals. These glass crystals spread throughout the area at the center of the explosion, under what is now the bottom of the lake. Sunlight travels to the bottom of the lake, creating an optical effect with these glass crystals, which are then reflected up to the surface of the lake.
Suddenly, this fantastic scene was formed.
When the convoy stopped, Lan Keying was the first to jump out, looking at the glittering lake, and exclaiming, "It's so beautiful." ”
When the breeze blows on the lake, the rippling scales become starry under the refraction of the light. Like a mirage, these starlights seem to float out and rise above the lake. And looking at the bottom of the lake, the crystal thing looks like a small fish swimming, so you have to sigh at the magic here.
Unfortunately, the price to pay for this aesthetic is indeed too great.
You must know that when the city was attacked, it turned most of the city into ruins, affecting a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Because the casualties caused by this nuclear bomb are calculated in the tens of millions, and the cost cannot be said to be heavy.
Because of the heavy radiation here, all the people here have evacuated and abandoned this place.
Hundreds of years have passed, this place has long been barren, except for some plants that can grow on the periphery of the city, like in the city, there is not a single plant, everywhere seems lifeless, giving people a sense of desolation and grief, as if tens of millions of unjust souls are crying. Anyone who comes here will have a heavy heart when they see all this.
Maybe thinking of the tragic situation here, Lan Keying was also silent, she suddenly felt how dazzling the beauty here was.
"Do you know why the world is still in chaos?" Zhang Jianyang pointed to the city, which had long been reduced to ruins, and said: "The wounds caused by the nuclear war have not been erased yet, and some people still remember the injuries given by the other party." The appearance of the Star Warrior has made countless people live longer, and they are the ones who witnessed all this happening, as if it happened yesterday. It is precisely in this way that how is it possible to spare the countries that launched nuclear bombs at these places at that time? ”
It is true that local wars have occurred from time to time in various countries, and the front line has never stopped.
Fortunately, each country is quite restrained and does not turn a local war into a full-scale war, at least the people living in this era can still enjoy peace.
Zhang Jianyang has experienced the brutal war on the front line in the fantasy world, and it is impossible for him to forget that the human race is torn apart on the battlefield, and many people die every day. The troops composed of star warriors sometimes make the battle like an ancient cold weapon battle, this kind of tearing and killing is the most cruel, on the entire battlefield, only a few people will be complete, and most of the people are always incomplete...... No one knows when a war like this meaningless will end.
Maybe it won't end until the long-lived older generation, who hold the power of the country, has reached the end of their lives? In fact, in Zhang Jianyang's view, a local war like this is just a kind of sustenance for people's pain at that time, like a small window to vent. Otherwise, why are people in the country so supportive of such a local war?
It was only after staying here for more than an hour that Zhang Jianyang glanced at the bottom of the lake lightly before leaving here with the convoy.
If I'm not mistaken, under the lake, someone should have built an underwater base, which should be a radiation forbidden place for a certain force.
A place like this didn't mean anything to Zhang Jianyang at all, so he didn't want to risk offending this kind of force, so he had to go in and have a look. The Radiation Forbidden Land generally has an effect on ordinary people, and has little effect on Star Warriors, especially as the level increases, it becomes useless at all.
…… After hundreds of kilometers away from the abandoned city, the plants on both sides of the road began to change.
Plants are generally green, but these plants are green and purple at first, and then gradually change to all purple, and when you get to the back, all the plants you see are mainly purple, and very few are other colors.
This kind of change made Lan Keying feel novel.
And then, it was as if I had entered an endless plain, and everywhere I saw it was a purple world, and endless purple grass covered the entire grassland. It was as if the whole world was surrounded by purple, and only purple remained. Especially in sunlight, the refracted light is also purple, and the rising mist is also purple.
It's a purple world here, with purple as the main body, which together form this magical grassland.
The number of vehicles appearing here is gradually increasing, almost mainly adventurers, who are pouring into this magical grassland.
