Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 34: 1 fair interrogation
Mine Town, the cold wind came in through the cracks between the doors and windows, making a throat sound.
Beside the stove, Lin Tuo looked at the girl who bit her lip and didn't say a word, feeling a little helpless.
torture a confession?
He is not a villain.
came here just at the right time. I wanted to find someone to understand the situation of this wasteland, and not to be tortured, but the other party was unwilling to communicate, and the conversation would be difficult to start.
"It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate." With a sigh, Lin Tuo's voice was disappointed, and he raised the steel pipe in his hand.
on the floor.
Huaxi immediately became nervous and stared at him vigilantly, thinking: here, here, so we still have to torture, right?
What about ?
said? Still hold on?
Her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, but in the next second, Lin Tuo's movements made her stay.
I saw Lin Tuo turning down the chair, no longer looking at her, and poking the ground with a steel pipe. That huge backpack, stiff, clattered.
Lin Tuo's eyes suddenly became curious.
, you know, when the little girl ran away, she didn't forget to bring this thing, which is why she slowed down some speed, otherwise, she might have really let her run away.
"Prick..." Reached out, pinched the slightly rusted metal zipper on the backpack and opened it. Then, the contents inside were revealed.
Lin Tuo's eyes shrink slightly, a little surprised.
In this backpack, there are actually brand new weapons and ammunition!
To be precise, most of them are groups of bullets, all of the same model, touched by hand, cold and biting, and glowing yellow under the fire.
was filled with most of the backpack, roughly estimated to be at least a few thousand.
In addition, there are a small number of gun parts disassembled into parts, dozens of grenades, scopes and other items in the backpack.
The are all brand new, and there is still unevaporated grease on the barrel, which seems to be a new gun.
This little girl is carrying a large bag of arms!
Lin Tuo gave her a weird look, and said, "Those soldiers chasing you, isn't it just for these things? You stole the weapons storehouse?"
"I don't have one! This is originally no owner! And I discovered it first!"
Hearing this, the fierce little girl retorted as if she was very angry.
"I didn't steal it? I can't see it..." Lin Tuo threw back the bullet in his hand, pointed to the food under the bed, which was scooped out by the flower stream, and said, "Aren't you just coming in and stealing someone to eat? Of?"
Huaxi is speechless, choked and speechless.
After a long while, he muffled and said: "These are all exploited by them. I am robbing the rich and helping the poor!"
said, the cramps caused by hunger in her belly made her frown and closed her mouth.
Lin Tuo did not continue to ask, but curiously looked at the food.
is most often pickled dried meat, as well as some strange-looking vegetables and plant roots that he has never seen before.
I want to come, they are all mutated and survived plants on the waste soil.
In contrast, some foods that clearly have an "old age" flavor are more attractive.
such as honey encapsulated in glass bottles, and white wine that has long lost its label...and...
"Canned food?"
Lin Tuo curiously picked up a well-sealed tin can and rubbed the bottom surface, the logo on it was still faintly identifiable.
looked for the production date, and compared to the "destroy" time marked in the log, this can was produced before the "destroy".
In other words, these are foods that have been preserved a long time ago.
It’s just not clear how long it has been since the destruction of the Crazy Emperor in this era.
"Guru~Guru~"
Just when Lin Tuo's thoughts drifted away, the sound next to him drew his attention back.
turned to look at the little girl named Huaxi, Lin Tuo's eyes showed a smile, and said:
"It seems that you are really hungry."
"I'm not hungry!" Huaxi rolled her head stubbornly, and then continued to yell in despair.
Then, the serious atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird.
"Would you like to eat? Answer my question, and I will give it to you." Lin Tuo's eyes grew stronger.
Seeing that Huaxi didn't answer, he didn't touch the can. After all, this thing may have been left for long, and who knows if it can be eaten.
turned to open the honey jar, took an iron basin from the table, and melted it on the fire.
deliberately tasted it, and was surprised, and then used the iron drill beside the furnace to pierce some dried meat and plant roots that look like potatoes, and stuff them into the furnace to roast.
Very quickly, the not strong food aromas escape.
Frankly speaking, Lin Tuo has no appetite for these foods.
Especially on the premise that I just had a hot pot meal not long ago, but obviously, these foods are already regarded as precious delicacies on this wasteland.
This can only be judged from the skinny and obviously not enough refugees in the town square.
In this silent contest, after a while, Huaxi finally couldn't hold back, gritted his teeth and said: "I promise you!"
"What?"
"I said you can ask, give me something soon!" The little girl gritted her teeth and said unwillingly.
Lin Tuo smiled.
"Well, what about me, I am a fair person. If you answer me a question, I will let you have a bite. Isn’t it fair?"
"Well, my first question is, what year is it now? Or, now, how many years are there since the disaster that destroyed the world?"
Lin Tuo sat in the chair again and asked seriously.
? ?
On the floor, Huaxi's expression became more and more weird.
In her opinion, this question is really weird, but it is true that not everyone can answer this question.
For example, the alienated people at the bottom of the wasteland, the refugees, may not be able to answer.
"Now it is 31 years of catastrophe. At least, everyone agrees to say that. Therefore, it should be 31 years from the old times." Huaxi said.
"Are you not sure?" Lin Tuo asked back.
Huaxi suffers from stomach cramps and feels that she is starving to death, so she can only honestly say:
"I haven't experienced the old age, how can I be right?"
唔, she is still in her ten years old according to her appearance. If thirty years have passed, it should belong to the aboriginals of the Wasteland Era.
恩, or according to these people, call it the age of catastrophe.
Lin Tuo nodded secretly. Thirty years... not too surprising. From seeing the dilapidation of the buildings in the town, he has already guessed.
"I answered, you should give me something to eat." Huaxi couldn't help reminding him when he was lost in thought.
Lin Tuo recovered and passed the iron drill in his hand.
Huaxi didn't care about being hot. The activation of the body's repairing ability made the last bit of food in her stomach have been digested, and she really couldn't hold it.
opened his mouth, took a bite, and swallowed a whole half-baked mutant potato.
hurriedly chewed a few bites, then tried to swallow, but was choked and rolled his eyes.
"As for...how long have you not eaten..."
Lin Tuo's eyelids jumped, hesitated, poured a glass of water into her.
The water was boiled, but it still looked very turbid and not very clean.
"Cough...cough cough..." Seeing that Huaxi had no problem, Lin Tuo continued to ask:
"Second question, what is the human society on this continent today? I mean, how many people are there, who will rule, how many industrial facilities are still in operation? Or are they gone?..."
This question is much more complicated, and Huaxi didn't understand it all at once.
Lin Tuo explained for a while, and then she gave out the information she knew intermittently.
After Lin Tuo's piece together, restore, and then roughly figure out the situation.
To put it simply, the situation in the wasteland is indeed slightly better than he expected, but it is also limited.
According to Huaxi.
After the "catastrophe", the environment of the entire "world" deteriorated, everything died, many people died, and the "city" of the old era was almost completely shut down.
Many cities close to the west have collapsed, and those far away from the "seismic source" are slightly better, but the human industrial structure has also been completely and irreversibly destroyed.
A large number of human deaths, loss of knowledge, and strong energy interference caused the scrapping of electrical equipment and the collapse of the entire industrial base... The entire human civilization has gone back hundreds of years in a very short time.
In order to survive, people began to rush to store food, which led to riots and subsequent wars.
It is precisely relying on those food reserves that humans survived the most difficult period of time.
But this is not without cost.
The fight for food has caused mankind to completely miss the opportunity to rebuild the industrial structure.
Afterwards, the temperature around the world dropped, and radiation clouds covered the entire continent, and the remaining humans suffered a new round of disasters.
The energy flow caused by the "annihilation bomb" killed many normal lives, but some lives have survived tenaciously through evolution and mutation~IndoMTL.com~ The wild animals have been the first to undergo mutations, which are more fierce and terrifying. , Bloodthirsty... Compete with humans for precious survival supplies.
Then, the human group also changed.
Most humans began to suffer from all kinds of strange diseases, mental disorders, or skin ulcers... and the offspring of these people were more deformed, but somehow they survived.
A small number of humans have experienced the opposite change.
Their physical fitness began to increase, their endurance, agility, and strength improved, and they rarely contracted the disease.
Although the appearance still maintains the appearance of a human, in fact, it seems to be evolving in the direction of "superhuman".
And the offspring born of these few people not only inherited this "excellent" mutation, but also have the probability that they are born with some special and extraordinary abilities.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that mankind finally barely gained a foothold in this wasteland.
Some powerful people began to recruit people in the old-time "company" model, occupying some well-preserved cities, and driving those who have not "evolved" to collect old-age creations from the ruins.
Search as much as possible.
Then try to use those machines that have been preserved for decades to resume production.
But this is too difficult after all.
The retrogression of civilization and the loss of knowledge make people unable to understand the "principle" at all, and can only rely on the creations left over from the old era to carry out some simple production activities.
In this pattern, the whole wasteland gradually built a pattern of three major forces standing on each other.
are:
"burning fire company", "grey mountain group", and "floating end."
And Huaxi is one of the latter.
