…
Small pieces of soil were collected and appeared in the space backpack.
Then I saw fine cracks quickly appearing on the cracked earth beneath my feet.
Not long after——
With a "pop" sound, a deep pit one meter long and one meter wide appeared directly under my feet.
"Wow..." Yaya exclaimed and hurriedly grabbed her sister.
Tong Xiaorou was also surprised, but she guessed that this was Jiang Cheng's awakened special ability, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Cheng can perform it in front of them, which can be regarded as trusting them, and she is already very satisfied.
The ground in front of me, after a one-meter hole was dug, was still dry and cracked at the bottom.
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and was about to widen the place and dig deeper, but suddenly his ears twitched and he looked to the right in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Tong Xiaorou immediately became nervous.
"There are people, many people!"
Jiang Cheng was surprised and said: "I heard chaotic voices, and there were a lot of people. Wait a minute, I'll go to the tree to see what's going on..."
As he said this, he was about to climb the tree, but at this moment two huge creatures suddenly walked out from that direction.
Those two behemoths were metal lumps, three meters high, and their entire body was blue. In a place where shabby items can be seen everywhere, especially inside this primeval forest, these two behemoths with azure color looked very abrupt.
"Mecha?!" Jiang Cheng was stunned.
"No...the mecha is probably much bigger than this. Is this supposed to be an exoskeleton powered armor?"
He wasn't sure.
At this moment, the two powered armors had discovered them, and he immediately stood in front of Tong Xiaorou and Yaya, standing ready.
"Evolver?"
In the distance, the two powered armors seemed to be stunned for a moment. They should have seen the neat holes dug by Jiang Cheng, and they probably had a way to sense the evolved ones.
Or the people inside are themselves evolutionaries.
From inside one of the powered armors, there was a sound from a loudspeaker. The sound quality was slightly changed. It may have been deliberately modified: "That guy, you don't want to dig a deep pit to get water, do you? Don't waste your energy. This area , I can’t find water even if I dig five hundred meters down.”
Can't you find water even if you dig five hundred meters down? !
Jiang Cheng frowned and said in disbelief: "Have you ever dug it?"
"Do we still need to dig? Our detector can easily detect five hundred meters underground. Otherwise, why do you think these giant trees will die?"
The powered armor made a voice: "Don't be so alert. We are not those stupid camp people. We are from Vault No. 17. If you trust us, you can follow us and exchange labor for food and water."
The moment he heard the words "refuge", for some reason, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt unspeakable anger in his heart.
However, this feeling only passed by in a flash, and the anger dissipated as if it had no source. He felt that he should be jealous or for other reasons, so he didn’t think much about it and said dubiously: "Your food and Is there a lot of water? I feel like there are a lot of people behind me."
The powered armor said indifferently: "We can make food and water through element synthesis, but that will consume our reactor power, so we have to work in exchange for it. Of course, although we will slow down as much as possible, we can't wait. Everyone, if you can keep up, just follow, if you can’t keep up, just follow behind. The traces of land boating will slowly come up."
After saying that, the two powered armors continued to open the way in front. They waved their huge stainless steel swords and split all the vines blocking the way.
There were only two pieces of power armor, but they actually opened up a twenty-meter-wide passage, and they were moving very fast.
Watching the two powered armors leave, Jiang Cheng stood there hesitantly, a little confused in his heart.
"refuge?"
He always feels that there are some impressions in his mind, and they are still very bad impressions. (Foreshadowing, this is foreshadowing. I found that everyone was complaining about the double standard of the protagonist later. Why don’t you read the foreshadowing? On the surface, it seems that the protagonist is a time traveler. (but the second chapter has already been written, the protagonist has lost his memory! No spoilers!) But I am not sure whether it is the original impression or my own impression.
At this moment, even Tong Xiaorou and Yaya could hear voices from behind. It was a little noisy and there were a lot of people talking.
"Jiang Cheng..." Tong Xiaorou said nervously. They had not experienced such a large number of people for a long time.
In the wilderness, I occasionally encounter a few people, usually no more than ten.
Because we have to look for food, there is simply not enough food in one place when there are too many people.
Jiang Cheng thought for a while, first filled the hole with rotten leaves, and then said, "Let's take a look at the situation first."
About half a minute later, a super behemoth appeared in sight.
The behemoth was ten meters high and at least fifteen meters wide. As for its length, it reached an exaggerated thirty meters. It had a 400 mm caliber main gun on the top and three 100 mm caliber secondary guns around it.
That thing looks like a super tank.
But unlike the tank, that thing didn't move on crawlers, but on mechanical legs. Sixteen thick mechanical legs on one side, thirty-two in total, supported the behemoth to move slowly.
That should be the so-called land boating.
And behind the huge land boat, there are still a large number of people.
Not to mention Tong Xiaorou and Yaya, even Jiang Cheng was stunned: "It's a shelter, and it's this kind of black technology... This world once estimated that some kind of century-level disaster really happened..."
As for whether the current drought was related to the original disaster, he didn't know, and there was no relevant record in the memory of his predecessor.
Ahead, there was no sound of the engine on the land boat, only the rumble of its mechanical legs landing on the ground, slowly moving forward at the speed of an ordinary person's walking.
As the land boat passed by, thousands of people in blue clothes quickly followed behind.
Someone spotted Jiang Cheng and others here, but they only glanced at them and didn't pay much attention.
Those people did not have green eyes like the people Jiang Cheng met before. Although they were also sallow and thin, at least they looked like human beings.
After this group of people followed quickly, someone else came slowly from the rear. They were all old people, women or children, and of course there were also young adults, but they were all relatives or friends of those people, accompanying them slowly.
Adding all up, there were probably four to five thousand people.
Jiang Cheng hesitated and said, "Let's follow behind to see the situation."
He didn't blindly trust the man from the so-called Vault Seventeen.
But if those people really have a way to produce water, maybe they can exchange some. In addition, he must first find out what kind of labor those people need from ordinary people.
"It's all up to you." Tong Xiaorou had no objection, and Yaya had no objection at all.
Jiang Cheng immediately picked up Yaya and followed him, while Tong Xiaorou followed closely.
"Dad, look, that person..." Suddenly a voice came from not far away.
Jiang Cheng turned around and saw that there were three people who had traded water for the remains of the giant wolf's body yesterday.
A tall and thin man, a skinny woman and a relatively healthy boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.
Perhaps because he had the basis for a successful transaction, the tall and thin man nodded friendly to Jiang Cheng without saying a word.
Jiang Cheng also nodded and walked on silently.
He did not get close to the family of three, and even kept a distance of about thirty meters from other people.
In fact, everyone is on guard against each other. The group behind them has more than a thousand people, and there are three to four hundred small groups. The largest number is only four or five people, and most of them are loners.
There are two power armors and a land boat leading the way. The road behind is much easier to walk, at least you won't easily fall into traps.
