The Tamu Basin is the name that people call this basin, and the whole basin is very large, inhabited by more than a million people, almost all of whom live around the giant lake in the center of the Tamu Basin.

Like a closed world, the Tamu Basin has little contact with the outside world, and more is still not familiar to the world.

It was unimaginable before the nuclear war, with an area of more than a million people, an incalculable rocky area, and a giant lake salt kelp, known as a world-class wonder, which has long become a tourist mecca. But the facts are the facts, the people here live a closed life, and many people have never left the Tamu Basin for the rest of their lives.

The environment around the Tamu Basin is very harsh, and the existence of mutant beasts is one of the important reasons for blocking the Tamu Basin.

Due to the severe lithification here, and the fact that the rocks contain many elements that are not conducive to the growth of crops, the Tamu Basin has always been short of food. For this reason, the authorities have had to work hard to control the population of the Tamu Basin, trying to synchronize output and consumption as much as possible so as not to cause hunger.

Despite this, the population continues to grow, seriously threatening the balance of food production in the Tamu Basin.

The harsh environment and the inability to use air transportation have prevented the Tamu Basin from finding a solution to its predicament for hundreds of years.

The Tamu Basin is most famous for its refined salt, which was regarded by the authorities as a fist product at the time. Unfortunately, in the environment of the Tamu Basin, there are almost no caravans, let alone the transportation of refined salt.

Every year, companies try to open up plans to go to the Tamu Basin, but either they lose so much and fail, or they give up because the cost of opening up is too big to make any commercial sense.

After a long period of development, the Tamu Basin has been almost forgotten.

…………

In the evening, the people living in the Tamu Basin, as usual, raise the fire and cook their rice at sunset.

The curvy road was silent, and only occasionally a local or two walked by, and then it quickly disappeared. The national highway that used to be full of traffic has completely changed its appearance and has become deserted. The road that has fallen into disrepair is no longer the lifeline of the Tamu Basin. In the eyes of many, this road is not a road to the outside world, but a road to hell.

But today it seems to be a little different, and from time to time there is a terrifying roar of cattle on the road, and from far and near, a caravan of two wild bulls has appeared, appearing on this rocky sea that has been silent for too long.

On the cargo compartment of each section, there are four big blue characters printed on it, the words of the Ning Chamber of Commerce, which deeply stings the eyes of people along the way.

The inhabitants of the scattered area of the road, as if they had spotted alien visitors, all rushed to the side of the road, staring wide-eyed at the caravan that had suddenly broken into the Tamu Basin.

"Come and see, caravan, there's a caravan."

"A caravan, a caravan."

The people who rushed to tell each other, with a curious heart, all put down their work and stood in front of their own doors, or they appeared on the highway and watched the caravan slowly advancing on the road.

Caravans, the word, has not appeared in the Tamu Basin for many years?

I'm afraid that no one remembers this clearly, and many people who have started a family have no concept of caravans at all, because from the time they were born to the time they got married and had children, they had never seen a caravan appear here.

Now the caravan has come and appeared in the Tamu Basin, and this news, the attraction to them is fatal.

In the crowd of onlookers, the children kept scurrying around the crowd as if they were celebrating the New Year, giggling, and in their eyes, the caravan was a strange thing, far less attractive than lively.

…………

From the moment you enter the Tamu Basin, there will always be some villages on both sides of the road, or scattered places of several families, etc.

The appearance of the caravan still caused a sensation here.

Chen Zhuangping carried the gun with some seriousness, telling everyone to be cautious, in his eyes, the residents here are all outsiders, who knows if they will be greedy for something and rob the caravan. What if the convoy has guns? With just these 20 people, can they deal with the thousands of people who will be bombarded at that time?

The dark muzzle of the gun did play a role, and where the caravan passed, the local residents only looked from afar, but did not dare to approach.

Chen Zhuangping, who came to the Tamu Basin for the first time, felt that the residents here gave him the feeling that he was a poor character.

The villages on both sides of the road are almost made of branches and rocks, with only some thatch as roofs. Their clothes were all in tatters, and some of them were directly covered with leaves, and they looked very artistically dressed, with a bunch of colorful leaf patches.

The children are almost naked, and it can even be seen that some of the girls are already developing, but they are still like wild children.

Chen Zhuangping, who has always lived in Shacheng and has only traveled to and from the dry lake, can hardly believe that the residents of the Tamu Basin are so poor.

But when you think about it, it's not hard to understand.

In the Tamu Basin, where there is almost no contact with the outside world, all the land that can be used is used to grow food, where are other fiber crops to be grown? There is hardly any industrial base, so there is not even a garment factory here, and most of the people, their clothes, are sewn by their own novices, and a set of clothes is constantly changed and washed, and they will be worn for several years.

There is no commercial circulation, no cloth that has been transported, etc., what can be taken out to make clothes?

Not only clothes, everything is lacking here, as long as it is related to life, it is extremely lacking here.

Zhang Jianyang didn't show much surprise as if he already knew all this, but the rest of the caravan couldn't believe what they saw.

In Shacheng and dry lakes, and the surrounding cities, the concept of rural areas has long been gone.

In such a harsh living environment, there is no way for the countryside to survive, and it is necessary to rely on the city. Therefore, after the nuclear war, after the political situation was stabilized, the emergence of mutant beasts, and the migration of large areas from rural areas to cities became inevitable. More often than not, the population of a certain area is clustered together to form a new city.

After the nuclear war, no one knows how many cities disappeared and how many arose.

It is precisely in this way that the countryside in the Tamu Basin, as well as these unclothed residents, have brought too much shock to Chen Zhuangping, and they have never imagined that there will be such a place in the world.

In fact, if Chen Zhuangping and others understand the world before the nuclear war, they will find that how many people are still struggling to make ends meet, like Hunan, Sichuan, Gansu and other places before the nuclear war, how did the poor people live? It's just that the world before the nuclear war has long been buried deep in hundreds of years of history, and in this world that is still full of dangers, who will open these up?

The caravan kept moving along the road, and the villages on both sides were watching the caravan, but there was no scene as Chen Zhuangping imagined.

There are more than 20 guns in the hands of the caravan, and there is one, and the residents living here know what the appearance of the caravan means for the Tamu Basin, and the authorities who rule the entire Tamu Basin, their desire for the caravan, and what kind of punishment will be received for anyone who dares to do harm or disadvantage to the caravan.
