Ben enjoyed the ride, moving form a place to place on an army truck was one of the more mundane experiences he had. He still couldn't believe that less then a year ago he was a regular soldier in mandatory service and now he was ... living in a novel?
It wasn't just him everything went crazy, Ben served time in Cairo and Paris, they were altered but still looked like urban centers, Cairo had a feel of Mystery Men novel while Paris looked like someone copied whole chapters from a Gibson book. The US was different, Ben heard rumors it was hit hard but the he didn't imagined the level of destruction until he got here. Whole teeming urban centered devastated turned into wild land... millions missing or dead... it was a global scale disaster.
Of course it wasn't just the world, Ben was also altered, he could do thinks with his mind. Once he manifested his power they stuck him into a sensaory deprivation tank for a whole week. Other people might have been broken but it opened in Ben unknown abilities, his third eye as Matthew called it.
Now he was here, in what was once Ohio, sharing a truck with an elf taken straight from a Tolkien book and with other not less strange companions.
"We use this to grow food, plow fields as large as nations..." he added with a thick accented English. "There are... were billions of people on Earth and you need to feed them somehow." he explained.
