Dusk in the ruined city always comes very early.
At 4:17 in the afternoon, leaden clouds had already reached the top of the ruins. Lin Yan squatted in front of the small earthen stove in front of his shop, using a kitchen knife with half of the blade missing to carefully scrape off the soil on some dark purple roots.
"Boss Lin, what do you have to eat today?"
A man wearing a patchwork leather jacket and a cheap mechanical prosthetic eye in his left eye walked over, with a hoarse voice unique to wasteland residents. His name is Lao Scar, and he is one of the scavenger leaders in this E-7 settlement.
Lin Yan raised his head and showed his habitual, slightly timid smile: "Brother Scar came just in time. I picked some fresh radiated sage today and plan to make a pot of soup."
