North America before the Cataclysm?! Isn't that the Eagle Sauce, known as the beacon of the world?!
Are there any other entities in North America besides Eagle Sauce?
Although there are actually twenty-three so-called independent countries in North America, except for a few countries that are placed next to the Eagle Sauce as pegs, the vast majority of countries are actually just trash cans for the Eagle Sauce.
A huge back garden and more than twenty trash cans that can be used for cooking at will. This is the absolute order established by the Eagle Sauce in North America.
For most of North America, their tragic fate was almost inevitable.
Because they are too far away from God, but too close to the Eagle Sauce.
So... the Oasis of Life can barely be considered to have inherited the legacy left behind by the Bald Eagle after the Cataclysm?!
Of course, the outbreak of a catastrophe will inevitably destroy the most valuable industrial systems. Nuclear bombing may not destroy those remote uninhabited areas or sparsely populated areas, but the truly valuable large and medium-sized cities will inevitably all be within the range of being flattened by nuclear weapons.
From this perspective, even if Life Oasis inherited the legacy left by Eagle Sauce, it would at most be like several other top forces in the wasteland, with extremely serious biases in their specialties, and would be completely unable to perfect a real system based on the inherited legacy.
As these speculations surfaced in his mind, Chen Yan suddenly thought of another question, and couldn't help but wonder, "Since the Oasis of Life was in North America before the Cataclysm, how did you get here?! There's an endless ocean between here and there...
The mutant creatures in the ocean are supposed to be more complex and terrifying than those on land, right? Don't tell me you drifted all the way here by boat. I don't believe there are still ships capable of ocean voyages under current circumstances. No matter how you think about it, it's impossible."
Li Fengnian shook his head and said, "Of course I didn't come here by ship. As you said, the ocean is far more dangerous than land. Sailing on a long ocean voyage is really no different from committing suicide. But after the outbreak of the Great Cataclysm, a long nuclear winter was triggered. You are aware of this, right?
Under the influence of nuclear winter, the planet's surface temperature plummeted, the permafrost intensified in the north, and even the northern ocean froze solid. So I followed the ice on the Alaskan Sea directly to Siberia, then continued south until I finally arrived here.
Chen Yan was shocked.
After carefully examining Li Fengnian from head to toe, he said in disbelief, "My goodness, this must have been tens of thousands of kilometers? You walked all this way just on your own two feet?!"
Li Fengnian nodded and said, "That's right. Of course, after deciding to escape the Oasis of Life, I made comprehensive preparations and brought enough supplies and provisions. Otherwise, I would have died on the road. The four-legged mechanical dog outside is the one I brought with me from the Oasis of Life.
I had more than one of these mechanical dogs ready. Even so, the journey was still more difficult than I'd imagined. The dangers weren't just from zombies and mutants; the greatest danger came from my own kind, because I was carrying so much stuff and traveling alone.
My leg became lame during that journey. Although I could have healed it anytime I wanted, I kept it untreated, thinking that people would look down on me because of my crippled status. Now, I've gotten used to it."
Listening to Li Fengnian's relaxed voice and even seeing a faint smile on his face, Chen Yan felt extremely impressed.
This is a real ruthless person...
Not to mention the wasteland world at hand, even in the time and space where he was, if one wanted to carry out such an ultra-long-distance migration alone, no matter how well prepared he was, the probability of death would still be much greater than the probability of survival.
In a wasteland environment, doing so is no different from gambling with your life.
And it’s a gamble to put five bullets directly into the revolver’s cylinder!
Chen Yan thought for a moment and continued, "I have to admit that what you said shocked me greatly. If it were me, I would not likely make the same choice as you.
Being able to participate in such a large-scale project that gathers all the resources of Life Oasis means that you at least have a certain status within Life Oasis. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to stay there?"
Li Fengnian said with a smile, "Indeed, but there are always some things that are hard to accept, such as the discrimination against Chinese people within the Oasis of Life. Before the Great Disaster, this discrimination had almost reached its peak.
I don't need to explain the reason; you know it. Just like during World War II, when they rounded up and detained all the island immigrants and confiscated their property, you can't expect a bunch of bandits to start reasoning just because they put on suits.
The outbreak of the Cataclysm did not make this discrimination disappear. Even though life in the wasteland was in shambles and everyone was facing a life-or-death dilemma, they would rather divert the conflict than do their best to solve the problem.
Li Fengnian seemed to have said nothing, yet also seemed to have said everything.
Seeing that Li Fengnian didn't want to discuss this topic in depth, Chen Yan pondered for a moment and then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, since there are five major forces in the wasteland, and the Oasis of Life's sphere of influence is in North America, then... what about here?
I know that the Kahn Company is near Quancheng, and the entire Ludong Province before the catastrophe should have been within the Kahn Company's sphere of influence. But the Kahn Company isn't a top-tier power after all, so it should be under the shadow of some top-tier power, right?"
Li Fengnian nodded and said, "That's right, this is the Red Nation's sphere of influence. However, in places occupied by large forces, the Red Nation rarely intervenes. So even though this is within the Red Nation's sphere of influence, the Kahn Company is still absolutely powerful.
In the fifty years since the Cataclysm, after the initial disorder and chaos, a set of order has been established in the wasteland that most people can accept and adapt to. Therefore, you don't need to consider the level where the Oasis of Life and the Crimson Nation are located for the time being."
Red nation?
Chen Yan silently memorized the name of this force, and at the same time bowed to Li Fengnian and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts. I will keep your affairs confidential."
Li Fengnian waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter. Whether it's a secret or not has no effect on me. This is the sphere of influence of the Crimson Nation. Even if Life Oasis knew I was here, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Okay, is the deal almost done? I'll take the stuff back to camp first. The caravan is still waiting for my news. Don't forget what you promised me before. If you evacuate early, remember to let me know.
Chen Yan nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I never break my promise."
