Chapter 1819 New Era
After more than ten years of war, the ground has been devastated, and because of the tragic nuclear war, the formerly fertile soil has now become a terrible radiation place.
Only workers whose bodies have been transformed into machines laboriously clean up the mess in these places.
The most difficult thing to deal with after the war is actually garbage. The hundreds of millions of tons of construction waste dumped in cities have seriously affected the reconstruction work. Coupled with the huge radiation and the fear of nuclear war, now the three major talkers are not ready to go to the ground. The city has been established, and everyone is focusing on the underground, preparing to build a huge underground city.
The ground is reserved for the poor and refugees who have no home or a country to return to.
A gust of wind blew by, and a wanted poster danced with the dust in broad daylight. On it was a photo of Dulan, describing him as an extremely dangerous terrorist who would not care about life or death if he saw it.
The unified government charged Duran with being anti-human and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction. Although many of the technologies they used were invented by Duran, they put down the bowl and scolded the mother. They were not interested in a series of weapons invented by Duran during the war. It is deeply disgusting.
Of course, in the final analysis, Duran invented the technology and shared it with everyone, which made the war extremely difficult. This is absolutely unforgivable.
Clatter, the sound of huge tracks crushed the wanted poster and continued to move forward. A blood-red tank appeared in the ruins, crushing cement and moving forward irresistibly. There was billowing dust behind the vehicle.
Giant cannons, smoke grenade launchers, missile launchers, machine guns, reactive armor, this is a tank armed to the teeth.
With a click, the tank stopped, and a sturdy man with fiery red hair crawled out from the doomsday wasteland. He took out a telescope to observe the terrain, and asked his companions in the car: "Will Duran really be here? "What?" From the telescope, I could only see ruins. The cement fragments were pushed like mountains, and glass fragments were scattered everywhere. The ruins of a building were already spectacular.
"Red Wolf, we have been chasing him for three years, and we cannot let him go if we have any information about him."
"Okay, prepare your weapons, let's go over there and take a look."
There is a refugee gathering place in the distance. Many refugees make a living by picking up rags in the ruins. Although the underground city is thriving, people who have lost their country do not receive these preferential treatment and can only survive on the surface. They look for everything they can use from the garbage dump.
The red wolves driving tanks are mercenaries hired by the underground city. They have the support of underground city technology, and their mission is to fight against terrorist organizations and wanted criminals on the surface.
Red Wolf, a feared code name, the residents of the refugee camp all hid as soon as they saw the red-haired man approaching. However, the red wolf still caught a slow runner. The refugees were sallow and thin, and they usually got sick due to radiation. They had no money to inject anti-radiation drugs.
"Tell me, have you ever seen this man?!" Red Wolf took out an old wanted poster.
The refugee was frightened, because mercenaries were murderous masters, and these refugees had no human rights, so their death was in vain.
"He is over there at the battlefield ruins." The refugee said tremblingly.
This sentence made Red Wolf excited. He was finally found after three years: "This time we finally found him."
The two companions in the carriage also cheered. Three years had not been easy for them: "Then what are you waiting for?"
There is a battlefield relic not far from the ruins of the city, which has been buried by loess, but there are many people carrying metal detectors looking for relics from the battlefield.
And at the edge of the battlefield, a man with a towel wrapped around his head was picking out the things sent by the 'treasure hunters'.
"This thing can only be exchanged for half a biscuit." The voice sounded like that of Duran. He was obviously enjoying the apocalyptic atmosphere.
"I still have children, please be kind and give me the whole piece." The treasure hunter begged.
"Haha, you guys really don't know how to change your lines. Everyone has children and mothers to support, but I know that you just go gambling and spend money, and you still want to deceive me?" Du Lan said that he is the one with the best acting skills. Master, no one else can lie to him.
The treasure hunter could only take away half of the biscuit with a grimace.
Booms and loud noises shattered the tranquility of the battlefield. The red monster rushed onto the battlefield. The giant cannons and missiles were all aimed at Duran. Duran could be blown into ashes with just a snap of his fingers.
The treasure hunters fled for their lives, but they did not dare to fight the mercenaries.
Only Duran was still sitting there, even though the muzzle was pointed at him: "Isn't this a red wolf? You are too slow." It seemed that Duran was discovered on purpose.
The red wolf climbed out of the tank and looked at Duran coldly, wanting to take a good look at this wanted and dangerous criminal. This terrifying monster with a bounty of 1 billion credits looked normal and not scary.
"125mm caliber heavy artillery, your tank is good, one shot should be able to kill the mechanical ghost." The mechanical ghost, the product of Duran, the malfunctioning chip man, those chip man will gather together and form a group due to program failure, such as It moves like a tumbleweed and continues to spread the virus to infect normal chipped people, and is called a mechanical ghost.
"I need your help." However, Red Wolf is not here to capture Duran, but to ask for Duran's help. He needs Duran's skills: "I hope you can help me resurrect my lover."
Red Wolf tracked Duran for three years for this goal.
There are many rumors about Duran now. The most exaggerated one is that Duran is an omnipotent mad scientist who can bring the dead back to life. Red Wolf has no evidence, but he still pursues for his lover. It took him three years to stand in front of Duran.
Red Wolf's partners all know Red Wolf's goal and are willing to help him.
"So there is a body. How long has it been dead? Is it fresh?"
"Can we talk on the way?" Red Wolf said. Now he wants to take Duran back to his hometown.
Red Wolf's lover is named Nina. She got radiation sickness because she drank radioactive water. She was afraid of spending money on treatment so she kept it a secret from Red Wolf. When Red Wolf found out, it was too late. Even the technology of the underground city could not save Nina.
Originally, Red Wolf wanted to freeze Nina, hoping that future technology could save his lover, but the number of frozen places was limited, and it must be provided to the seeds against the Trisolarians first. Nina, a civilian, was not eligible for the quota.
So Red Wolf could only watch Nina die. It was not until after Nina died that he got a freezer on the black market and froze his lover's body.
After that, Red Wolf traveled all over the surface to find the legendary dangerous doctor who mastered the forbidden technology.
"So that's it. It's really a touching story." Duran smiled. He looked Red Wolf up and down and couldn't help saying, "It's really not easy for you to make such a big name as Red Wolf with your flesh and blood."
Red Wolf said, "If there were no tanks and companions, I wouldn't be able to fight those cyborgs." These days, people who do bad things have transformed their mechanical bodies and practiced mecha martial arts. Only tanks can win.
Life on the surface is too hard, and there are too many crazy people. As for where they get the technology, of course it's the black market.
After the establishment of the unified government, they were not in the mood to clean up the surface, but directly gave up the surface and worked hard to build underground cities and space battleships. Applied technology has been developing, and the research on macro atoms has also been going smoothly.
Technology is changing with each passing day, becoming simpler and simpler. Many technologies flow to the surface through the black market in exchange for high prices. Although the life of the surface people is hard, they can still earn some income through treasure hunting, and healthy surface people are very good laborers, and they can basically be sold at a high price to do the hardest and most tiring work.
For example, building cities in the hot and dangerous environment underground, or working as miners in outer space. In short, the surface people are now equivalent to slaves in the new era.
However, in order to survive and get jobs more easily, many surface people will gather above the underground city, forming a huge slum, which is also the place where the black market is most rampant.
As for crimes on the surface, the underground city is not prepared to invest in building an army to suppress them. Only the space army is considered a real army these days. The underground city chose mercenaries. Anyway, the surface people are not a big deal, and mercenaries and bounty hunters are enough to deal with various situations on the surface.
The people in the underground city live underground but look up at the sky. They still think about resisting the Trisolarians. Although the poor outside know that the Trisolarians are coming, eating is more important than the invasion.
At this time, it will take 150 years for the Trisolarian reconnaissance vehicle to reach the earth, and only 50 years for the news of the Trisolarians to be exposed.
