Chapter 38 The Taoyuan People from Taoyuan Township
Shen Feng was stunned for a moment, but looking at Yinghuo's worried look, it didn't look like he was faking it, so he asked:
"Do you recognize the words on this?"
Yinghuo shook her head: "How could I possibly recognize these things? These are all divine words and images of gods from ancient times. But even though I don't recognize them, I know they are treasures and can be sold for a lot of money!"
Have the words been lost... How long has it been since the nuclear war broke out, and what happened?
"Money?" Shen Feng took out a blue bottle cap of Master Kong mineral water and asked, "Is this it?"
Yinghuo nodded and said: "Yes...this is..."
She didn't know what this sturdy young man was doing with the money all of a sudden. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be unclear about many things.
After proving his guess, Shen Feng nodded, used a dagger to gently cut the rope binding Yinghuo's hands, and said:
"I have no ill intentions, and I advise you not to have any ill intentions. Otherwise, these people will be your role models."
Yinghuo nodded immediately, with a pair of big eyes flickering, looking timid, and said:
"Okay, Savage...Sir...I don't know what to call you. Thank you for saving me."
Shen Feng said expressionlessly:
"My name is Shen Feng. I need you to take me to Wuming Town now. In addition, I still have many things to ask."
He waved the discount flyer from RT-Mart Supermarket and said, "When we get to Wuming Town, I will naturally return this to you."
As he spoke, he folded the flyer and put it in his bag.
Then he went to the fire, took out a half-eaten can of lunch meat and a can of braised pork from his backpack, and placed it directly on the bonfire to start heating.
At the same time, he took out another piece of compressed biscuit and began to chew it slowly.
The compressed biscuits he bought also contained a lot of nut ingredients, and the texture was much better than ordinary military compressed biscuits. Moreover, it tasted great when soaked in the braised pork soup.
After the braised pork and luncheon meat are heated by the flame, they immediately begin to sizzle and release an attractive aroma.
Yinghuo, who was about to run away, stopped, slowly turned around, sat down by the fire, stared at the tin can on the flames and kept swallowing.
What is this!?
So delicious!
It's so fragrant that people would faint!
There was nothing just now, but now she felt as if countless little hands were reaching out from her stomach, trying to grab those fragrant things.
Shen Feng poked the firewood with a branch, adjusted the direction of the can's heat, and asked calmly:
"Want to eat?"
Yinghuo stared at the two cans and began to nod vigorously.
It’s not that I want to eat, it’s that I want to eat to death.
Shen Feng said: "Then eat."
As he spoke, he found a thin small iron plate from the bandits' luggage, handed it to Yinghuo, took the two cans off the bonfire, and used a Swiss Army knife to divide the hot lunch meat and braised pork. Transfer half to plate.
Then he took out two compressed biscuits and placed them inside.
Naturally, Yinghuo has never seen a Swiss Army Knife. Seeing this folding knife with many tools combined on one blade, her eyes can't help but light up. (Some book friends don't seem to know what a Swiss Army Knife is, so I hope everyone knows about it.)
However, she was attracted by the aroma and ignored the fact that the food was still very hot. She wiped her hands on her body and began to grab the pieces of meat and compressed biscuits and start chewing them.
As soon as the braised pork entered her mouth, an unprecedented aroma from the combination of caramel, aniseed, soy sauce and meat hit her taste buds like a heavy hammer.
Yinghuo's expression was startled, and then she started to devour it.
She has never eaten such delicious food in her life!
Shen Feng was eating the meat with a knife on the side. He looked at Yinghuo's appearance and nodded secretly.
In this apocalyptic world, there are obviously no various spices used to cook food with complex flavors.
It seems that the remaining human society in this world is more miserable than he imagined.
Yinghuo devoured most of the meat, and then dipped the compressed biscuit into the broth and ate it. She quickly ate a compressed biscuit and felt that she had never tasted such delicious food. Everything was like a dream.
Then his expression darkened, he stopped eating, and suddenly he covered his face and sobbed, making his face full of oil.
Yinghuo then asked Shen Feng with a longing look:
"Are you from Taoyuan? Are you from Taoyuan? Please, can you take me to Taoyuan too? Please..."
Shen Feng frowned and said, "What is Taoyuan? I'm not from there. I'm just a wanderer on this land. You can think of me as having discovered a small treasure and got these."
Hearing that Shen Feng was not lying, Yinghuo's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then she said:
"Sorry, I thought you were from Taoyuan...don't you know Taoyuan?"
The young man in front of me seemed to not know many things and was very unfamiliar with this world.
However, there are many weird people in this world, and there are also many people who have lived alone since birth, and Yinghuo is not surprised.
Shen Feng nodded and said: "Tell me about the world you know. Just treat it as entertainment after dinner, and it can also be considered as your reward."
Yinghuo said quickly: "Although I am already a middle-aged sixteen-year-old, I don't know much about this world. Most of it is what others say... I made some mistakes, I hope you won't be offended... …”
As he spoke, he began to talk eloquently.
There are generally three types of human beings in this world.
The first type is ordinary people like Yinghuo, who may have some ordinary mutations, but they are not fatal and can still live normally.
Yinghuo, including the gangsters killed by Shen Feng, are all considered "ordinary people".
The second type is humans who have been completely changed by radiation. Many of them have turned into inhuman shapes, or have completely lost their minds and are extremely crazy.
These people are called barbarians.
It is said that the original barbarians were people who were severely radiated during natural disasters and those who were born with extremely severe deformities. They were rejected by ordinary people and eventually stayed away from human society. They gradually gathered and formed their own tribe.
The places where they live are often in radiation zones. After so many years, many of them have even developed the ability to withstand a certain degree of radiation.
These mutants often have ugly appearances and powerful powers, and are often accompanied by crazy thinking. For ordinary people, they are simply monsters in nightmares.
The third type is Taoyuan people!
It is said that these Taoyuan people live in Taoyuan Township and have made preparations before the end of the world. After so many years, they are still living happily in Taoyuan Township.
Taoyuan Township retains all the beautiful miracles of the past, but no one knows where this place is.
Only occasionally can we hear legends about some Taoyuan people appearing in the wilderness and possessing divine power, but no one knows whether it is true or false.
Shen Feng nodded.
These so-called "Taoyuan people" should be the people who hid in radiation bunkers before the outbreak of nuclear war.
Theoretically, an unlimited energy shelter with a nuclear reactor can even support life for tens of thousands of years.
Of course, it must be large enough and have its own ecosystem.
No wonder Yinghuo thought he was a "Taoyuan man" who came out of the shelter. After all, his clean clothes were incompatible with those gangsters.
But the life of those "ordinary people" is very difficult.
The villages and towns where they live not only have to worry about plunder by barbarians, but they also have to constantly search for survival supplies.
Mining is one of these types of work.
However, what the miners are mining are not ordinary mines, but the ruins of prehistoric cities that have not been enveloped by radiation.
The various materials in the ruins of these cities have been rummaged through countless times, and basically nothing is left.
It’s just that there are steel bars within the cement walls of those buildings!
Steel, this is something that ordinary people have been unable to make for a long time!
Finding steel from the ruins of the city is their mining industry!
After Yinghuo finished talking about this, Shen Feng asked her again how many years had passed since the nuclear war broke out, but this girl didn't even know what nuclear war was, she only knew the name of the catastrophe.
And the Cataclysm is nothing more than a long-standing legend.
Afterwards, Shen Feng directly tied up Yinghuo's hands and feet, tied them like a rice dumpling, then put out the fire and fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, the two of them each mounted a horse and walked in the direction pointed by the firefly.
They were going to cross the ruins of a town, which was exactly where Yinghuo was mining yesterday.
Walking among the broken walls and ruins that have turned into rubble, you can still vaguely distinguish the main roads and various streets.
After asking Yinghuo, Shen Feng quickly found the place where the library used to be.
There was only a piece of rubble left here, and there were traces of scorch from the fire, and not a single piece of paper was left.
Yinghuo gritted her teeth and said, "There is a secret place that many people know about, but no one can open it. Shen Feng, do you want to go?"
Many miners know about that place, but no one has ever gone in.
She didn't know what this man was looking for, but she had to win his favor in order to get the treasure back again.
"lead the way."
Soon, they came to a big pit.
At the bottom of the big pit, a corner of the square alloy is exposed, shining brightly in the sun.
