Chapter 132 Sense Of Familiarity
Arc 5 : Wasteland World Movie Nightmare.
Although Du Yan teased him, Shen Heng still chose the city with the cosmetics factory as his next destination.
Of course, he didn’t come for such unreliable reasons as skin care. It was just that Du Yan’s identity was sensitive. It wasn’t strange for him to appear in a tribe, but now their destination was Homeland No. 5. Du Yan’s wanted warrant had been sent out via radio, and Pure Ones, who appeared outside the Homelands, would definitely attract attention from many parties.
In order to avoid too much trouble and sneak into the Homeland No. 5 smoothly, it is better to try to cover up Du Yan’s too fair skin.
The supply points chosen by Shen Heng were not on the traffic routes that had been cleared. They had to bypass certain dangerous areas and abandoned cities with high radiation and strong mutant creatures.
There aren’t many people coming to this abandoned city. As long as the cleared residences are engraved with Shen Heng’s unique logo, there won’t be people who don’t understand the situation and mess up the supply points that have been under Shen Heng’s control.
However, this city was an exception and can be said to be the most prosperous of all Shen Heng’s supply points. The reason was simple, it is because of the cosmetics factory here.
After Shen Heng and Du Yan rested in the house for a night, they headed directly to the well-preserved cosmetics factory.
The finished products in the cosmetics factory were naturally no longer usable. After such a long time, they had already deteriorated.
However, since Shen Heng brought Du Yan here, he had already thought of a solution. While Du Yan was asleep, he went to Infected Trading Point in the city and exchanged some chemical raw materials for making cosmetics with Infected who had lived nearby for a long time.
Du Yan knew nothing about this matter but was quite shocked when he arrived at the factory the next day. Because the cosmetics factory in front of him was well preserved, and there was not even a single weed to be seen.
Du Yan followed Shen Heng and walked to the factory workshop at the back. In front of the factory workshop, Du Yan saw an Infected sitting with his legs crossed, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun, with Gongfu Cha infused beside him.
The scene in front of them was leisurely, and the place was clean and tidy. It looked a little more comfortable than home.
Infected senses was very sharp, and when Du Yan and Shen Heng approached, the person opened his eyes.
Shen Heng stopped ten meters away and took out three anti-radiation medicines from his pocket, indicating that he was here to trade.
Infected nodded and said: “Bring it.”
Shen Heng handed over three anti-radiation medicines and prepared raw materials, saying: “Self-prepared raw materials.”
After checking the medicine, Infected asked Shen Heng about his needs in detail, and then nodded: “One hour.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the factory workshop.
Shen Heng explained: “Before the war, Infected at the door was in the cosmetics business. Now, he is the one who maintains and debugs the equipment inside.”
Du Yan’s eyes widened: “He has been guarding this place all the time, so is there enough anti-radiation medicine?”
Shen Heng said: “Even at this time, most Infected females still love beauty. His business is very good. At least he doesn’t have to worry about anti-radiation medicines.”
Du Yan really didn’t expect that the industry outside was so rich and colorful. At Homeland, Pure Ones only dared to use purified radiation-free products.
In addition, since the country has not yet recovered from the nuclear war, all the energy of Pure Ones in the Homelands is focused on production and biotechnology to meet the basic needs of life. Naturally, there will not be more resources to produce things like cosmetics.
Seeing Du Yan’s curious expression, Shen Heng knew that it would take some time for the finished product to come out, so he took Du Yan around for a walk.
At the back of the factory workshop, Du Yan stopped in front of a special building. The ‘radioactive material’ sign on the heavy door was extremely conspicuous.
The nuclear power generation equipment here is based on a small nuclear reactor, which is a product left over from before the war. Even after hundreds of years, this nuclear reactor is still functioning, providing a steady supply of energy for the entire factory.
The main culprit for the earth’s numerous problems is the abuse of nuclear technology. Before the nuclear crisis, almost all energy sources were nuclear reactors. Every city, even hospitals, large factories, and schools, had a variety of small nuclear power generation equipment.
Du Yan looked at the power generation equipment in front of him and said: “Shen Heng, do you think these small nuclear reactors left now are enough to destroy the earth again?”
Shen Heng thought that the other party was just lamenting about the suicidal behavior of humans in the past, and replied: “Now the development of nuclear technology has been banned within the Homelands, which can be regarded as some reflection. As for these small nuclear reactors left behind, there will always be a way to deal with them.”
Du Yan didn’t say anything more, just nodded. Seeing that it was almost time, the two of them went back to the door. Infected was already waiting there, and the efficiency of the fully automatic assembly line was still very high.
He handed over the things Shen Heng needed, thought for a moment, and said: “I’ve prepared a set of foundations of various shades for you, including shadows, highlights, and other essentials. As for how to use them to look natural, it’s up to you to figure it out on your own.”
Shen Heng was confused after hearing this. He wanted to ask more about the shadow and highlight, but Du Yan pulled him back.
“Let’s go, we’ll understand these things after we study them.”
After the two returned to their temporary residence, Shen Heng was still a little worried and asked: “Do you want me to go to the trading point and ask a few Infected females how to use these things?”
In real life, Du Yan has a deep knowledge of these cosmetics in order to do masking. However, his current character is a Pure One boy who has never left Homeland, so naturally, he doesn’t understand how to use cosmetics.
But if Shen Heng went to the trading point to ask Infected females how to put on makeup, the headline of the next issue of the Infected Weekly would probably be this.
《Surprise, the strongest Infected ‘s secret hobby is this!》
Du Yan thought about it and decided to stop the other side for the sake of Shen Heng’s image.
But Shen Heng is actually quite stubborn. It is hard to change his mind. The disguise also involves Du Yan’s safety, so he is naturally more serious.
He thought for a moment and said: “I have a strong learning ability. Let me try it out first. If it doesn’t work, you can ask someone else.”
Shen Heng nodded and said: “How are you going to try it out?”
Du Yan looked at him and smiled strangely. Shen Heng saw his smile and took a step back unconsciously: “What do you want?”
“Shen Shushu, it’s not convenient to learn the disguise technique by myself in front of the mirror, right? I can only trouble Shen Shushu to help me.”
When Shen Heng heard Du Yan call him Shen shushu, he instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen. If he hadn’t taken Du Yan’s safety very seriously, Shen Heng would have probably fled.
In the end, Du Yan naturally won.
The current situation was that Shen Heng sits stiffly on the stool, closing his eyes and looking ready to die.
Du Yan looked at him for a moment but couldn’t stand it anymore, so he said with a smile: “Can you please not look so serious? People who don’t know me would think I am going to molest you.”
“…” Shen Heng’s ears felt hot after hearing what he said, but he unexpectedly relaxed.
Anyway, no matter what it looks like, since only Du Yan will see it, it doesn’t matter.
Shen Heng only felt Du Yan’s fingertips on his face, moving gently like feathers, so comfortable that he even felt a little drowsy. Just as he was becoming more and more relaxed, he heard Du Yan say something.
“Done.”
Shen Heng opened his eyes and looked over, just in time to see Du Yan standing in front of him, holding a mirror. He was slightly stunned and blinked again, as if he couldn’t believe what he saw.
The person in the mirror is the former him, the one who lived a dull but smooth life before the nuclear war.
Under the light-colored foundation, the traces of the years of wind and frost seemed to disappear, and the hard lines became much softer, which inevitably reminded Shen Heng of the past.
Du Yan saw that Shen Heng had not spoken for a long time, and the emotions he conveyed were nostalgic and warm. He asked: “What’s wrong? I think lightening your skin tone surprisingly suits you, and there is nothing wrong with it.”
Shen Heng smiled, and the softened lines made his smile even gentler: “It’s quite suitable, but I don’t know what it will look like after you paint your skin darker.”
Du Yan said: “You will know soon.”
He then went into the bathroom and came out ten minutes later.
When Shen Heng saw Du Yan in disguise, he was completely stunned.
It wasn’t because Du Yan looked so ugly after being painted dark, but the dark-skinned Du Yan in front of him, with his face becoming a little ordinary, suddenly gave him a very familiar feeling.
“How is it? Quite a big change, right?” Du Yan asked.
Shen Heng did not respond but frowned and looked carefully. He felt inexplicably that this sense of familiarity was very important, more important than anything else.
At this moment, Du Yan was also slightly stunned because at this moment, he suddenly saw that everything in front of him was blurry for a moment.
Xiao Ba’s warning came just in time: “Du Yan, the dream is showing signs of collapse, think of a solution quickly.”
Du Yan heard this and knew that he couldn’t let Shen Heng be in a daze any longer. He walked directly to Shen Heng, grabbed Shen Heng’s arm, and began to touch and pinch it.
Shen Heng finally came back to his senses and asked in embarrassment: “What are you doing?”
Du Yan put down his hand, pinched his own arm again, and said with some distress: “The skin color has changed, but there is another problem. My body shape does not look like of an Infected.”
Shen Heng comforted him: “No problem. If Infected just has come out of the cryopod, there are also some of them that are about the same size as you. However, as the effects of radiation intensify, they will gradually become taller and stronger.”
Du Yan said: “Are you saying that I pretended to be an Infected who just woke up not long ago?”
“Yeah.” Shen Heng nodded: “Although there are fewer and fewer underground shelters that have not been discovered in recent years, there are still some.”
In his mind, Xiao Ba sent out an all-clear signal.
Du Yan heaved a sigh of relief and continued to direct Shen Heng’s attention to the direction of the underground shelter that had not yet been discovered.
