In a Valley somewhere in the wasteland.
Within a hundred miles, there was no sign of human life. It was truly a forbidden zone for life.
As long as they entered and dared to move on the ground, they were likely to be bombarded by the patrolling drones.
Unless one had a special identity that allowed them to pass through freely, they would basically be stuck.
Even if they were survivors, they would not get any special treatment. In this chaotic apocalyptic world, human lives were the least valuable.
If they encountered an inhuman person, they might even end up in a fate worse than death.
If they went deeper, they would see patrol troops, but they were only modified biochemical beasts and wheeled unmanned vehicles of various sizes.
Do not underestimate these unmanned vehicles. Even a platoon of soldiers might not be a match for these machines.
Such a tight defense was only to protect the secret of the valley.
