Chapter 142: Regressive Civilization
After leaving the scope of Falling Hammer City, Zhang Yu and others truly saw the living conditions of ordinary people in this world.
The purpose of Zhang Yu's trip is Count Nefara, who was originally the leader of the Farah family in the mafia, and later obtained ion energy and turned into a super criminal, he not only has superhuman strength and speed, but can also fly and even shoot laser beams from the eye.
It's like a weakened version of the Kryptonian's sense of déjà vu.
Zhang Yu believes that the energy drawn from him will definitely add a lot of power to the time controller.
Since the victory of the criminals, the Count of Nefara has been semi-retired, and if it weren't for Barton to mention it, Zhang Yu would really be afraid that he would ignore this guy.
This is also thanks to Hawkeye's intelligence, after having these targets, it is more convenient for Zhang Yu to act, and among these targets is Moonstone, Zhang Yu remembers that Moonstone was also a member of the Thunder Agent Team back then, and it was also one of the targets of Hawkeye's revenge.
In other words, if you are fast enough, maybe the two sides can meet at the location of the moonstone.
The road is not easy, the original towns have long since disappeared, and the independent towns are scattered on the map.
But it's not easy to stop there, because you can't be sure if there's anyone alive in that town.
The wide and flat roads have also become a source of income for the gangsters to collect tolls, and ordinary people who want to travel far here can only take the mountain roads and sleep in the hills and wild graves.
But these places seem to be a hundred times more dangerous than the territory of the gangs, and no one can be sure who belongs to the eyes that stare at them in the dark.
After crossing the Shemutem Mountain, you will see a small village nestled at the foot of a barren mountain.
Zhang Yu wasn't sure whose territory it was, but judging by the appearance of the village, it didn't seem like a poor place was worth the gangsters.
From a distance, the village is surrounded by a fence made of wood, and the houses erected here have no beauty to speak of, and there is no such thing as lighting, and they may even be built indiscriminately, because Zhang Yu saw that the roofs of many houses were leaking, and one even collapsed in half.
The road leading from the barren mountains to the village is winding and rugged, and there is no grass on the road, everything seems so desolate, only a few crops in the cultivated fields in the village can be used as decorations, making it seem that there is still a trace of life here.
The three of them wore robes, hid their faces under their hoods, and exchanged glances with each other before slowly entering the village.
There is no 'gate' in the village, only a wooden sign is inserted on the ground, on which the name of Daphnia Village is crookedly engraved.
After entering the village, Zhang Yu and the three of them soon attracted the attention of the local residents.
But it's just a matter of paying attention.
They were doing farm work in the fields, just watching from a distance, and none of them wanted to come over to talk, let alone try to get close to Zhang Yu and the others.
They just watch.
There was extreme vigilance and numbness in his eyes.
In them, Zhang Yu couldn't see any humanity, as if they were a group of programmed NPCs, and like the walking dead, lifeless.
"Is this really the 'future' world?" Petro sighed heartily.
"This is the regression of civilization brought about by the Wasteland Age, where everything will change drastically, and those in power have the greatest resources in their hands, eat and drink without worry, and enjoy themselves freely, but for ordinary people, this place is no different from prehistoric times." Zhang Yu said faintly.
Originally, Zhang Yu was still thinking about whether he could collect some supplies from this village, because he didn't have much fresh water in his hands, and although he didn't have any money, he did have some fast food that could be exchanged.
But now, Zhang Yu has given up this idea, looking at these villagers who can't even hold on to life, he just wants to get out of here as soon as possible.
While passing by a house, a child catches Kara's attention.
It was a little girl who looked no more than four or five years old, her body was dirty, her clothes were a little tattered, her bare feet were scarred, and she had given birth to calluses that should not exist at her age.
The house she was in had seen long before Zhang Yu and the others came in, and it was the dilapidated house with half of the roof collapsed.
When they came closer, they found that this place was even worse than they imagined, because not only the roof, but the whole house did not even have a door, and the wall was also broken with a big hole.
When Zhang Yu and the others looked inside the house, the little girl also saw Zhang Yu and the others, I don't know if it was the first time to see outsiders, the little girl seemed extremely frightened.
The big eyes were full of horror at this time, and the little girl seemed to want to find a place to hide, but unfortunately, the house was so dilapidated that she had no place to hide.
Seeing this, Kara's fists gradually clenched.
Zhang Yu understood that Kara was thinking of her and her brother, but this kind of thing was something he couldn't comfort, so he could only let her come out by herself.
Stopped, Kara took out a piece of candy from her pocket, and after taking two steps forward, her stiff face slowly squeezed out a smile, trying to release kindness to the little girl.
Seeing this scene, the little girl was stunned.
Maybe it was the first time she had seen this expression?
I don't know how long it took, but the little girl checked her heart and limped out with her scarred feet.
She was like a fawn, and the slightest fright would cause her to flee back to her little house, never to open her heart to outsiders again.
Carla kept holding the candy in her hand, looking at the little girl who was getting closer and closer, and the smile on her face gradually overflowed.
The little girl gently took the candy from Kara's hand and smiled at Kara.
That's the smile she should have at her age
Then the little girl trotted all the way back to the dilapidated house, and under Kara's surprised gaze, the little girl slowly walked out with a bowl of water, perhaps the only thing she treasured.
The bowl has a shabby exterior and gives it an unclean feel, but the water inside is very pure and free of any clutter.
Taking the bowl, Kara smiled.
She couldn't describe how she felt at this time, she only felt that her heart hurt, and at the same time she wanted to sigh at the injustice of the world.
Just as Kara raised her hand to take a sip of water.
Her arm was grabbed violently.
Kara turned her head and was greeted by Zhang's calm face hidden under the brim of her hat.
“.”
and a soft sigh of indifference.
"The water is poisonous."
