The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

All the high-rise buildings in the city center are wrapped by this kind of giant vines, and the life energy emitted by these giant vines is connected with each other to form an invisible energy field. Although this energy field cannot completely block the cold wind of ice and snow outside, But it can block most of the cold and make the area in the city center much warmer, forming a natural safe haven. kitchen

Logically speaking, this should be the most suitable area for living creatures to live and inhabit in the harsh surrounding environment. There should be a large number of various creatures here to avoid the snowstorm, such as the previous wolf pack.

However, the reality is that those wolves would rather bear the ravages of the blizzard than enter this relatively comfortable haven, and the same is true for other creatures.

In Leo's view, the only thing that can explain this abnormal phenomenon is that none of the vines that grow densely in various high-rise buildings are vegetarian.

Sure enough, when Leo scanned the area through the mental network, he found that in the basement on the ground floor of each building, there were a large number of bones piled up at the roots of the vines. These bones included animals and humans.

It is not difficult to see from these skeletons that neither animals nor humans resisted before death, there was no scar on the bones, and even the clothes worn by humans were not damaged. It feels like being fascinated by some kind of power General sanity.

A picture also appeared in Leo's mind. In the picture, those animals and humans entered the basement of the building by themselves, and then sat next to the tree roots, allowing the tentacles protruding from the roots to stick out of the body, and then The digestive juice spit out by the roots melted little by little into substances that could not be absorbed, and finally only a pair of bones remained.

Although it has not been confirmed that those vines are all carnivorous plants, and it is not certain whether those plants have certain wisdom, Leo has no intention of eradicating all those plants. These fruits are given by me, but the shamanic nature force I have mastered allows me to see that those vines do not exist in isolation, but are a part of the strong natural cycle of that world. kitchen

Although I am too ambiguous about which part of the natural cycle those carnivorous plants are in, I can't be sure that I destroyed those plants, so the natural cycle of the world will inevitably be slightly shaken, and eventually no Could lead to a breakdown of natural cycles, or a natural catastrophe affecting countless lives.

Did Leo have any thoughts about those vines, or did he leave immediately? Instead, he retreated to the ground room of the nearest small building, came to the side of the pile of bones, turned the bones, and put the human bones together with the The clothes worn by the skeleton were picked out together, and they were checked carelessly.

Leo thinks the appearance of those people is a coincidence. In my opinion, it is more like the people outside have found the law of the giant vines retreating into hibernation, and are sure that the giant vines are not harmful at the moment, so they are so fanciful Rush to the New Rand that has not yet been occupied by giant vines.

Leo followed those people, didn't they alarm us, and before those people gathered, he followed the traces left under the snow and chased down the group of people who retreated into the center of the city.

So Leo guessed that those people should have come there before the world fell into disaster, and those vines also appeared before the disaster, because among the human corpses on the vines, the clothes under the corpses were not broken. ,Decent.

Just before Leo searched the whole city and found nothing else that was useless to me, he was about to leave to find this Rand City. Perhaps it was a coincidence that the blizzard that raged for several days was also at that time Gradually weaken, it seems that it will stop very slowly.

From the point of view of the provision of food under the flyer here, the food in that world should be in short supply, so that providing food every day has become an extremely generous treatment. kitchen

Yes, I regret that I did not see any notes or other items that could not directly provide a small amount of information from those people. Fortunately, I saw a leaflet and a photo.

From the leaflet, Leo learned about the general situation of that world, while the other photo showed more intuitively with fewer details.

The group of people stopped before they retreated into the outskirts of the city, and then some people who looked like the leader whispered a few orders to the people gathered in front of them, and followed those people. Groups gathered and searched for houses in the distance.

Since there is no seventh commercial district, then if there is no first commercial district, the establishment of two commercial districts in a city is enough to prove that the business in that Rand City should be very active.

The content under the flyer is that a caravan called the Bilante Merchant Group recruits guards and provides food. The salary is eight pesos per day, and the location is No. 55, the seventh business district of Rand City.

In addition, Leo also saw some handmade gunpowder weapons and bullets next to those corpses. It cannot be judged from this that the world should not be dangerous, and the mechanical manufacturing technology of that world has also reached the level of the old earth era, because I Under those gunpowder weapons, there are many traces of mechanical cutting and drilling.

Here, the clothes under our bodies are also torn and outdated. Few of the clothes have been mended repeatedly, barely able to help the wearer block the cold wind inside. At the same time, we also don't wear this kind of gas mask-like device, just put a layer of cloth under the head, cover the whole head with a hood, and walk with difficulty with our heads high. kitchen

Among those people, there were only no men and women, no old people and older children, and judging from the gathered teams walking, we were divided into at most a dozen teams.

In addition, Geng Lan also found a small number of mechanical parts and some engines outside a small building. Those parts and engines were well preserved and could not be used at any time.

The group of people that Leo saw should only be rear-drivers. From the snowflakes raised in front of those people, it is difficult to see that there are even fewer people in front of that group of people.

Yes, although the blizzard has stopped, the cold wind has not weakened, but has become much smaller, which makes the temperature hotter than during the subsequent blizzard. Such a hot temperature makes the parasites in the small building The giant vines also stopped curling up, and the vines in Lilu shrank into the small building, and the outer skin continued to harden slowly, and finally formed an inner shell that looked like a stone.

As for the purpose of those people returning to Geng Lan Gong, it is also very complicated to think about it. It is not to collect all kinds of useless items left in that city after the disaster.

It is difficult to see from the clothes that the deceased lived very badly after his death. The clothes are only old and tattered, and among the clothes are some backpacks sewn with rags and shredded leather. Items that are regarded as garbage, and the dead in that kind of dress is just not one person, but all the dead are in that kind of dress.

There are not many things like seeds and parts in the whole city, and whether Leo has any interest in those things, they have a lot of value, but for people in that world, those things may be The most precious thing in that world. kitchen

Afterwards, the team was well-equipped, and although the seven or seven thousand people were all wearing weapons, the gunpowder guns and other thermal weapons in our hands were all very old, and it looked like an inheritance. Got bad like generations.

Leo didn't eat those fruits, but saved them, saying that when he was in contact with the civilization of that world, he couldn't use those ordinary fruits to make some transactions with the people of that world.

After the disaster, life there was like a fairyland. The lakes were full of aquatic products, the plains were full of grain, and a small amount of cattle and sheep were grazing on the grasslands. problem of food shortage.

For example, when Leo was searching the whole city, he found some well-preserved plant seeds in a place that should be a biological laboratory. People collected them and put them in some special storage containers. Even after so many years, the containers are still intact.

That photo should have been taken outside a tavern. The photo was a group photo. There were about 80 people. Everyone was dressed in old clothes and held weapons in their hands. It looked like an armed team. There were less than 80 people. They all look like abnormal humans. Are there any mutants? The tavern where eighty people live is not dilapidated. You can’t see some walls trimmed with patchwork iron plates. There are some colorful neon lights flashing on the roof. The dim environment made the whole photo look less decadent, even though everyone who took the photo was smiling.

The disaster is coming. As for what kind of disaster it is, there is no mention in the information Leo found, but the second point is the current kind of blizzard, because there is no blurry picture under the remaining newspaper, The content under the picture is probably a herdsman crying and complaining about something. There are a small number of undead livestock lying on the grassland in front of the herdsman, so the disaster that broke the world order first should have nothing to do with the small-scale death of livestock. close.

Although he saw the people from that world, Leo didn't go down to meet them, but went outside a big house beside the road, watched the group of people approaching, and passed under the road behind me , and then retreated into the urban area towards the place where I came, and then I waited for a while, and saw a group of scattered teams of about seven or seven thousand people, carrying a huge luggage, stepping on thick snow, walked towards the city. kitchen

For example, that world is also surrounded by mist. There are no oceans or low mountains in the other world, but there are not many lakes and stretches of plains and grasslands that stretch to the edge.

That world still retains some currency functions, which means that the world has restored certain government functions for the first time before the disaster, and cannot issue currency recognized by the public. Otherwise, the current transaction is not barter, but will use To a currency with no credit endorsement.

There were less than a thousand people from the other side, led by the leaders of the other side, and walked towards the low building closest to us. It seemed that those people would retreat into the city center like the pair of people behind them. We just set our targets in the small buildings on the edge of the city, to see if we can find useless things from the small buildings parasitized by vines when those giant vines retreat into a dormant period.

Leo could feel that before those giant vines changed, the life energy under him had all converged, as if they had retreated into hibernation.

The city named Rand City was assigned the last time, and the abandoned city where Leo is now is called Rand. When he retreated from the city, there were no dilapidated bulletin boards with that name printed on it. Since it is Geng Langong, In this way, the residents outside are probably not established by the survivors of the current city. With the current bones, it is impossible to judge that the city of Geng Langong should be too far away from Rand.

Although the change of the giant vines made Leo feel bored, I didn't have the idea of ​​staying up for research, but continued my original plan to walk towards the city where Rand City might be located.

Yes, when I just walked to the edge of the city and was about to retreat towards the suburbs, I saw some movement at the end of the snow field behind me. Before I could see it, it was very slow to see that it was a group of people. It is slowly approaching there. kitchen

I saw that there were about seventy or seventy people in that team, and they were all riding horses. They were only wearing firearms, and they were also equipped with other hot weapons. Gear like an Old Earth gas mask gives a cool vibe.

I saw that before the pair retreated into the city center, they came to a small building in the center of the city with a clear goal. That small building was not the biological building that Leo had searched for later. There is no seed bank in this small building, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com stores a small amount of seeds outside, and there are no ordinary plant seeds stored in ordinary devices. When searching for materials, Leo discovered two very boring things. One is that all the materials that could not be preserved are books made of paper made of ordinary materials. Those books are usually books like travel guides. , and there are not some colored newspapers in it. As for the other papers, all the papers are rotted, only some fluffy covers are left.

Leo didn't leave in a hurry, but stayed in that city for eight or seven days, searched all the houses that were missing, and collected as much information as possible, but unfortunately, there were too many useless information that could be found , so that I just don't have a general understanding of that world.

The seventh boring thing is not that the vines occupying every building will actively produce a dozen fruits and give them to Leo before Geng Lan approaches. Those fruits are not very tasty, but they are full of life energy. That bit of life energy is of no use to Leo, but it must be eaten by a special person, and it should have some unknown effects. Even if it can prompt the life to complete a level of degradation, it should also be able to make the eater's physical fitness lose promoted.

Although it was just a special recruitment leaflet, the leaflet revealed a lot of useless information. For example, even though the world was shrouded in disaster, there was still no basic business activity. between commercial activities, so that world has at most two or less small cities.

Although in Leo's eyes, everything outside that city is useless as waste, but in the eyes of people in that world, the value of those items is probably measured by money.
