along the Colorado River, the settlement of Oasis, supplied by a body of water of the same name, and Last Town, a trading post that sprung up along I-10 between Los Angeles and the Mojave. Lost Angeles flanks the Wasteland’s western extreme, while Las Vegas flanks its eastern extreme.
Wastelanders: Wastelanders are surface dwellers, specifically ones that live in the southwestern United States. The term is broad – but generally it means a surface dweller who is forced to wander, scavenge, or raid for sustenance. Wastelanders are feared by Bunker dwellers, as they have been the number one reason for Bunkers failing.
Xenofungus: Xenofungus is a slimy, sticky fungus that is colored pink, orange, or purple (and sometimes all three). Whether benign or hostile, no one knows – and that is part of the focus of Dr. Steven Keener’s research.
Xenovirus: The xenovirus is an agent that attaches itself to DNA, acquires it, and mixes and matches it with the DNA it has already collected. It mostly affects microbes, and more recently, plants, but it is thought to be benign.
