"Windrunner, do you miss your master?"
Chen Jin mumbled to himself as he took out the electric scooter that had not been used for a long time from the storage cabinet on the balcony. He dusted it off.
He had bought this scooter last year. At that time, his mom had arranged a job for him as a city enforcement officer in the western district. It was a little far from home, so he bought this Windrunner as a tool for commuting to and from work.
After that, he quit after working as a city enforcement officer for two months. Usually, he stayed at home and rarely went out. When Windrunner was not used much, it was left in the storage room to collect dust.
But now …
"Windrunner, master has never forgotten you. The mission of conquering the other world with master is here. The moment when your life shines with the highest brilliance is here!"
At this moment, after wiping off the dust, Windrunner's painted exterior and the two large diameter muscular tires at the bottom were revealed. It radiated a domineering brilliance.
At this moment, explosive background music should be added.
Although Windrunner was small and exquisite, its actual maximum size was only 110 centimeters and its weight was not more than 25 kilograms. After folding, it could be stuffed into a guitar bag.
But it was still domineering and fierce!
After charging for half a day.
In the evening, Chen Jin, who had gone upstairs for dinner, hurried back to his bedroom downstairs. He locked the door and carried Windrunner, which was fully charged, and climbed down the safety rope to the other world.
During the observation process for the past few days, Chen Jin noticed a pattern: When it was 8 at night on Earth, it was just daybreak in the other world; when it was just nightfall in the other world, it was just daybreak on Earth.
The time difference happened to be reversed.
This was very beneficial for his exploration of the other world. He could use the time during the day to sleep and explore the other world at night. Not only would it not affect his rest, his parents would also not find out what he was doing.
As for sleeping at night … was an otaku a creature that slept at night?
Did he not know that the quality of sleep during the day was better?
And he could often have sweet daydreams …
…
The other world.
At the bottom of the big pit.
The temporary "small campsite" did not have any traces of being overturned. It was still in its original state.
Chen Jin pulled open the tent and took out the protective clothing inside. He put it on, put on the filter mask, and carried the small backpack from yesterday.
He helped Windrunner up and stood on it with both feet together. He used tape to fix the radiation detector to the front of the car. He held the handlebar with both hands and turned the switch with his right hand. Windrunner, which was driven by two wheels, quickly soared.
The maximum speed was 75 kilometers per hour, and the maximum climb was 55 degrees. This was no joke.
"Riding a galloping horse to enjoy the prosperity of the world. Is this how it feels?"
This time, Chen Jin, who was as fast as the wind, took no more than five or six minutes to reach the top of the edge of the huge pit.
It was just that after entering the Gobi desert region, the ground was uneven and there were many crushed rocks. Windrunner wasn't that useful anymore. The scooter's chassis was too low and many areas were too bumpy. This kind of terrain basically couldn't be used continuously.
He could only walk and ride for a while.
But this time, Chen Jin did not intend to explore too far. He circled around the perimeter of the huge pit and familiarized himself with the surrounding environment before extending his search to the periphery.
It was just like the strategy games such as Age of Empires, Fortress, Civilization, and Red Alert that he had played before. The map had to be explored from the periphery. Of course, further places had to be explored, but the fog of war in the periphery was the priority.
In the black-and-white field of view of the windshield filter.
Rocks, rocks, everything in the past was basically rocks.
The radiation detector attached to the front of the car showed no change.
Suddenly.
Another flash flashed across Chen Jin's eyes.
Walking over to take a look … he picked up a metal can.
The can was empty. There was some food residue at the bottom. The yellowish residue seemed to be peanut butter. There were some unreadable letters printed on the surface. It was very similar to English but had some Latin style. In short, it was somewhere in between.
"This should be a can of peanuts. There is a peanut plant pattern on the surface.
To be able to mass-produce cans made of this lightweight alloy material, it means that the civilization of this world has at least reached the level of the Second Industrial Revolution, or even higher. "
The can had no collectible value. Chen Jin casually threw it aside.
He continued forward.
Chen Jin made even more discoveries.
He picked up a broken doll … he pressed the tip of the doll's nose. It actually sang a cheerful and pleasant song.
He put the doll into a woven bag with red, blue, and white stripes (also known as a snakeskin bag) that he brought with him. He planned to bring it back to study.
He picked up a piece of furniture that looked like a fridge … the outer shell was seriously damaged. The internal parts were exposed. There was no possibility of repair.
He picked up a plastic item … it was a toothbrush that had lost its bristles.
He picked up a worn-out book … two-thirds of it was damaged. Only the contents at the top corner could be read.
He picked up a piece of torn clothing.
He picked up a torn pair of pants.
He picked up a bra that only had half of it left.
He picked up a worn out shoe.
The closer he went to the outer area, the more things Chen Jin found. The variety was richer, and the density was higher.
He even saw a pickup truck with a bucket lying upside down on the ground.
There were all kinds of metal fragments and metal parts. There were so many that he couldn't pick them all up.
Not far ahead.
There was a metal trash can lying on the ground.
The trash can was seriously deformed. On the ground beside it, there was a radio device with an antenna and two sound systems. It appeared in his field of vision.
"A radio?"
He walked over and picked up the radio. He put it in front of him and looked at it. His face lit up with joy. "It looks very intact. I wonder if it can be used?"
The radio model was very old. It was very big. It gave off the feeling of a radio from the 50s or 60s on Earth.
Chen Jin noticed that there was a cassette tape in the radio. He pressed the switch on the radio. The tape could not be played. Obviously, the radio was faulty.
But it didn't matter. He could go back and see if the radio could be fixed.
If it couldn't be fixed, he could buy a tape recorder online. He would listen to the cassette and see what kind of sound it could produce.
In short, this was not a small gain. He put the radio into the snakeskin bag.
"Crash ~"
There was a sound in his ear.
"Who is it?" Chen Jin was shocked. He immediately looked around to find the source of the sound. His heart was on high alert.
"Crash ~"
There was another similar sound.
Chen Jin turned his head and stared at the trash can beside him. The strange sound came from inside.
"Gu gu ~" There was another sound.
It seemed that something was struggling in the trash can.
"Should I go and take a look?" Chen Jin struggled in his heart.
He was very curious. But if he encountered danger …
"Wa wa ~"
"Wa wa ~"
Two consecutive sounds came from the trash can.
"Wa wa crying? Is there … a baby in it? "
Chen Jin was a little panicked. In this kind of environment, could a baby in the trash can survive?
He let go of his inner vigilance and walked to the trash can. He squatted down and held the edge of the trash can with both hands. With all his strength, he flipped the metal trash can that may have weighed more than a hundred pounds. He opened the mouth of the barrel that was covering the ground. He looked in to see if there was a baby inside.
No.
There was only trash inside.
"It seems that I just had an auditory hallucination." Chen Jin shook his head.
Suddenly!
One of the 'trash' inside moved. It waved its two arms and struggled to climb out of the trash can.
Chen Jin was shocked!
He took a closer look.
The metal trash in front of him was a machine device. Its head was composed of two cameras side by side. Its body was square. Two mechanical arms similar to excavator shovels extended from its shoulders. Its feet were two triangular metal tracks. Its appearance appeared to be a mottled rust color.
However, the appearance of this' trash 'was a little embarrassing. One of its right camera eyes was broken and drooped down. The tracks on its left foot disappeared. It was missing two guide wheels. It could only crawl forward with the help of the right track and two mechanical arms.
"Wa wa ~"
"Wa wa!"
It crawled to Chen Jin. The cleaning device in its left camera eye blinked a few times. A childish baby voice came from its chest. A row of green lights flashed.
Chen Jin's eyes almost protruded out.
This …
