Bai Chen immediately slowed down the heavy motorcycle and looked up ahead.
A hundred meters away, there was a reddish-brown wall, which extended to both sides as best it could, turning backwards at the end of Bai Chen's sight, as if it was about to enclose together.
Most of the bricks on this wall are mottled and old, but there are a few that look new, as if they were fired in the last year.
There are rusty barbed wire fences on the walls and outside the walls, and only one road can pass through.
On the wooden shelves erected between the barbed wire and the wall, and behind the wall, there were guards with dirty clothes and messy designs patrolling with guns.
The one who warned Bai Chen was the guard standing on the tallest wooden frame, wearing a yellow shirt underneath and a navy blue jacket that looked like a padded jacket and looked very fluffy.
The guard was carrying an automatic rifle and holding a black object like a pen in his hand.
This item emitted red light and shone in front of Bai Chen, forming a small dot.
Bai Chen stopped the motorcycle, took off his helmet, and tried to tuck his short hair back just past his ears.
She is deliberately showing her identity as a woman.
This is not to charm or seduce anyone, but to let the other person relax and be less nervous.
She knows very well that on top of the dust, in places where there is not much order, even if guns can bring the harmfulness of men and women to the same level, they cannot truly smooth the gap between the two sides in this regard.
Both physique and aggression, men are more dangerous than women.
A stranger who is a man is far more likely to cause panic than a woman.
During her years of wandering in the wilderness, Bai Chen always showed two different states: when she needed to explore the ruins, hunt in the wild, pass through more dangerous areas, and trade with certain bandit groups, she would hide her long hair, blacken her face, change her clothes, and make herself look like a man; She reveals her female identity when she is near a certain order settlement, or when she deals with relic hunters from large powers who care more about intelligence and old-world data.
When she was absorbed by "Pangu Creature" and had the confidence, she could finally cut a hairstyle that was neither long nor short according to her preference.
After placing the helmet in front of him, Bai Chen let the heavy motorcycle slowly continue forward.
During this process, the red light spot always swayed in front of her, falling on her motorcycle from time to time. This means that the other party has aimed and is not careless.
When the distance between the two sides narrowed to thirty meters, Bai Chen tilted the motorcycle, supported the ground with one foot, and shouted loudly:
"I'm here to find Mayor Tian Er Kawatian!"
She repeated twice, stopped speaking, and waited patiently.
The guards on the wooden frame divided into one and pedaled down along the slanted planks.
Five or six minutes later, an old man appeared on the wall.
He wore a furry dark blue hat, as if he had a bowl upside down on his head.
He had very obvious white hair at his temples, sunken eye sockets, and a thin face.
However, his dark brown eyes were still bright, and his spirit was fierce, it was Tian Erhe, the mayor of this settlement.
He was wearing a white yellowed T-shirt, a wrinkled patched suit, and a military green coat that was too large and long to match his figure.
His lower body was dark yellow woolen pants, and I don't know how many other pants were stuffed inside, which looked very bloated.
Tian Erhe looked at Bai Chen and carefully discerned for a few seconds.
"Ah......" He seemed to recognize the other party, but when he wanted to say hello, he found that Bai Chen was too far away, and he could no longer shout as casually as before.
He quickly turned his head and angrily said to the guard next to him:
"Give me my horn!
"Really, not smart at all!"
The guard responded aggrievedly:
"Your speaker has long been out of power, and you can't replace the same battery recently.
"I, I can cry for you......
Tian Erhe thought for a while and said:
"Help me shout: Bai girl, where did you die this year? I thought you were eaten by a wild beast!"
"White girl......" The guard suddenly realized, "Is it the Bai Chen who used to come often?"
"Who else could it be if not her? I'm in my seventies, and my eyes are getting worse and worse, but I can recognize it, why are you in your early twenties like a blind man?" Tian Erhe glanced at the guards and scolded them twice.
Everyone in this settlement was used to Tian Erhe's temper, and the guards didn't care about the scolding just now, they just muttered a couple of words:
"She looks much better than before...... If you don't look closely, you can recognize it......"
Without waiting for Tian Erhe to stare at him, the guard opened his throat and shouted loudly:
"White girl, where did you die this year? I thought you were eaten by a beast!"
Bai Chen's expression softened unconsciously, and she responded loudly:
"I went somewhere else.
"Mayor, I'll change something!"
This place is called "Shui Wai Town". Bai Chen heard Tian Erhe say that the name of the town comes from the name of the old world before the destruction of the old world, because it is surrounded by four rivers.
After the destruction of the Old World, long periods of scuffle, and many geological disasters, the nearby water flow has become part of the Everglades, which provides a natural defensive wall for the town of Shuiwei, bringing enough concealment.
Only the residents of Shui Wai and the guests they once invited could find the seemingly silt-covered roads in the Everglades, arriving here in a labyrinthine environment.
Compared to the settlements that often had to migrate, Shui Wai Town, which has clean water and a lot of arable land, has been here since the destruction of the Old World.
Tian Erhe wanted to talk loudly, but before he could really speak, his throat was already itchy, and he couldn't help but cough twice.
"Come in, come in." He waved his hand helplessly.
The guard next to him immediately shouted:
"Come in! Come in!
"Give the gun to the person at the door!"
Syllable! Tian Erhe patted him:
"Who asked you to add the last sentence?
"The white girl is someone you can trust!"
"But she hasn't been here for a year." The guard stiffened his neck and responded.
Tian Erhe was silent for two seconds, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked off the wooden frame.
Bai Chen did not resist and handed over the gun he was carrying, the pistol on his armament belt, and the heavy motorcycle to the guards at the gate.
The iron-black door on the opposite side immediately opened.
Tian Erhe was already waiting there, looked Bai Chen up and down a few times, and said with a smile:
"It seems that she has been doing well lately, she used to be a mud girl."
Bai Chen instinctively closed his eyes:
"A team took me in."
Tian Erhe nodded thoughtfully:
"Not bad, not bad."
He didn't continue the topic and asked casually:
"Where's your robot? Call, call 35."
Bai Chen's eyes hung down slightly, and he said after a second:
"It's broken."
Tian Erhe suddenly fell silent.
After a few seconds, he took a breath and asked as if he had not communicated anything just now:
"What are you going to exchange?"
"Some parts on the car......" Bai Chen replied as usual.
"Stop! Don't tell me what they are, I don't understand, I'll just take you to see them and pick one." Tian Erhe interrupted Bai Chen's words with a smile.
He turned around and led Bai Chen to the depths of the town.
This town is not big, completely different from the town in the old world concept.
Bai Chen looked at it at a glance, and the first thing he saw were three three-story buildings in the distance, the buildings were not high, but they were very long, and each floor was separated by many rooms.
These three houses are not parallel, but have an inverted and oblique "pin" character.
As far as Bai Chen knew, those who lived in it and had private or floor toilets were all members of the town guard and their families, and at the same time, people with important skills could also be assigned rooms, for example, those who knew how to repair firearms, for example, mastered the agricultural technology of the old world.
On both sides of the word "pin", there are two large public toilets, one vertical and one horizontal; In front of the word "pin" is a small square made of cement, and outside the small square are three small squares with rammed earth as the base next to each other.
There are rows of bungalows on the left and right sides of the square, which are not far from the wall and belong to the original townspeople of Shuiwei Town - with the population base of Shuiwei Town, most of the townspeople have members of the town guard, otherwise it is not enough to maintain the town guard.
Above the four squares, countless chaotic houses towered there, including mud houses, brick houses, and tents.
These buildings come from the wilderness wanderers absorbed by Shuiwei Town over the years, or those who have violated the law among the original members.
At this time, the sun was still in the sky, and evening was approaching, and some of the residents of Shuiwei Town were still working in the fields behind the town, while the other part went out hunting in the form of a team, and only a few people stayed in the town.
They walked out of the densely packed houses and cast their eyes from behind the windows, with what they had in common was: their faces were not very clean, their hair was dry and greasy, their clothes were not complete, and they might not fit their body shape, but their eyes were more energetic than the wilderness wanderers Bai Chen had encountered elsewhere.
"Mayor, you, how are you doing lately?" Bai Chen didn't care about other people's gaze, opened his mouth, and asked not too skillfully.
Tian Erhe laughed self-deprecatingly:
"It's okay, but I'm getting more and more afraid of the cold, you see, winter hasn't arrived yet, I'm going to wear so much, heh, I don't know if I can survive this winter."
"Definitely yes." Bai Chen followed Tian Erhe along the road between the cluttered houses to the three buildings in the shape of a character.
She replied very firmly, but her tone was a little erratic.
"You don't need to comfort me." Tian Erhe touched his chin with the remaining white beard, "I am seventy-seven! How many people who have experienced the destruction of the old world can live to this age? Besides, my children are gone, even if I wait a few more years and really find a new world, it doesn't mean much to me, hey, if Nan Nan is still alive, he should be about the same age as you......"
「…… At least I have to take a look at the new world." Bai Chen was silent for a while.
Out of the corner of her eye, she swept over the chaotic houses around her, and saw plastic bottles, glass bottles, old cardboard, buttons, rags, parts from nowhere piled up at their doors and windows, or long or short cables, metal bottle caps, incomplete handles, cracked mirror cases, bullet casings, scopes, rusty glasses frames, etc., just like garbage dumps and recycling stations.
Tian Erhe sighed "heh":
"New World...... Who knows where......
"Young people can believe it, at least they have hope, old guys like us, forget it."
