The first time Zhang Tuohai saw this world, it seemed desolate.

The sky was gray and black, with black particles visible to the naked eye floating in the air.

It's like a foggy city in the industrial age, with no sunlight at all.

The place where he was was a ruin.

There are ruins everywhere.

The building still maintains its complete shape, but the glass is basically shattered.

The exposed windows were either nailed shut with wooden boards.

Or there were dark holes revealed, like a bunch of hungry mouths, ready to devour everyone who entered.

The whole world is almost entirely made up of gray and black, without a single bit of green.

"It really is a wasteland world. It's so desolate."

Zhang Tuohai looked around and felt a little emotional.

Then he discovered a problem, that is, he didn't bring much food.

Apart from an endless flask of wine and an endless box of Skittles, there were only a few energy bars and two chocolates.

There were also several buckets of instant noodles and canned food randomly packed away.

In the previous world, he mostly got his food on site.

These are the leftovers from previous installations, so much so that I almost forgot about them.

But there seems to be nothing to eat in this world.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Zhang Tuohai scratched his head.

At this time, the game prompt popped up.

[Instance: Sinful Wasteland]

[Main mission: End the end of the world and stop the world from becoming a wasteland. ]

"Well, what an ambitious mission goal."

Zhang Tuohai looked at the task panel.

If that were the case, the mission would not be accomplished by destroying the world.

"However, if we want to stop the world from becoming a wasteland, we must find the cause of the wasteland."

Zhang Tuohai looked around, there was not even a living thing, where could he go to find the cause?

Just as Zhang Tuohai was looking around, a series of thumping sounds were heard in the distance.

Zhang Tuohai looked in the direction of the sound and saw a half-track open-top transport vehicle slowly approaching from a distance.

The vehicle had a steering wheel in the front and two power tracks at the back, towing an open cargo box.

From a distance, it looks like a combination of half a motorcycle and half a crawler tractor.

Two men in tweed coats were driving the car.

One person was in the driving seat and the other was sitting in the cargo bed.

Both men were wearing helmets. The one in the cargo bed was carrying a bolt-action rifle, with his hands clasped together, looking listless.

"It looks like there's no threat. Maybe we can get some useful intelligence."

Zhang Tuohai walked towards the road and waved to the car.

The car slowly stopped.

The two people in the car looked alert.

The man in the truck bed also took off the bolt-action rifle from his back.

As the distance got closer, Zhang Tuohai could see the two people clearly.

Both men were young and not very tall, and looked about the same size as a bolt-action rifle.

He was wearing a coat that didn't fit him well, so his body shape couldn't be seen. However, his face under the helmet looked very thin, and it was obvious that he had been malnourished for a long time.

However, the eyes are very smart.

"Hey, who are you?"

The man in the truck asked first.

The voice was very clear, it was a woman's.

"I'm just an aimless wanderer. If you don't mind, could you give me a ride for a while?"

"I have something here that can be used as payment."

Zhang Tuohai said as he took out two energy bars and placed them on the ground.

"What is this?"

The girl in the truck bed jumped out and picked up the energy bar on the ground curiously.

"This is a newbie with little experience."

Zhang Tuohai made a judgment.

Because, when there is only one gun, it should be the person driving the car who checks the item, not the only person holding the weapon.

This will easily give the enemy an opportunity.

If Zhang Tuohai had any intention of attacking them, he would have succeeded by now even with his physical fitness alone.

“This is food.”

Zhang Tuohai explained: "I call it an energy bar. One bar can replace a whole meal. You can just tear it open and eat it."

"Energy bar?" The girl seemed to have heard the term for the first time and repeated it.

"Want to try it?"

The girl tore open the package and took a small bite .

"Mmm, it's delicious. Xiaoqian, come and try it. It's really delicious."

The girl handed over the energy bar in her hand .

The girl who was driving jumped down from the driver's seat, took the energy bar, tasted it, and also showed a happy look: "Mm, it's really delicious."

"Delicious?" Zhang Tuohai was speechless.

He was sure that energy bars were definitely not delicious.

"Well, you are a good person for sharing your food with us. We decided to allow you to go with us."

The girl raised her right hand high.

"Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Tuohai." Zhang Tuohai stretched out his hand.

"What long names! My name is Yuna and her name is Xiaoqian." The girl took off her helmet and held it in one hand, revealing her short brown hair underneath.

The transporter continued to move forward.

Zhang Tuohai felt that sitting in the convertible cargo box was not a comfortable position.

Bumpy and windy.

But Yuna was enjoying herself very much. She lay in the cargo bed and stared at the sky in a daze.

The gun was also placed aside.

Not at all prepared.

"Where are you going?"

Zhang Tuohai asked.

"Go up there."

Yuna pointed upwards and said.

"Up there? What's up there?"

Zhang Tuohai looked at the sky. It was gray and he could not see anything.

"There is food and warmth up there, and I heard you can see the true color of the sky. I heard from the village chief that the real sky is blue. Do you know what color blue is?"

Yuna turned to Zhang Takumi and asked.

"It's the same color as your eyes, just like the lake in autumn."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"The color of my eyes? I've never seen that before. What is autumn and what is lake water?"

Yuna asked curiously.

Zhang Tuohai opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

For the first time, he discovered that explaining to others something that the other person had never seen seemed to be a very difficult task.

"This is something I found in the ruins. I call it a mirror. Its main function is to use it to see what you look like. See for yourself."

Zhang Tuohai casually took out a small mirror and threw it to Yuna.

This is what he used to shave.

Yuna caught the small mirror and placed it in front of herself.

“Why can’t I see it?”
