Bizarre.
The temperature in the area had already soared past 37 degrees Celsius, and the town was surrounded by a high-desert-like climate.
Yet, all the women in town were dressed in vintage, solid-colored long dresses of pink, light green, and other pastel shades. Their attire was so conservative it covered them down to their wrists and ankles.
Their hairstyles were just as old-fashioned as their clothes, puffed up high in the front with intricate three or four-strand fishtail braids in the back.
They looked like people straight out of the last century, leaving both Li Wei and Anya stunned.
They searched for any sign of modernity among the women walking down the street or chatting under the eaves, but not a single one wore sneakers, jeans, or short-sleeved shirts. It made the entire town look like the set of a period film.
"Is this still the United States of America?" Anya muttered to herself as she pulled out her phone. "Did we somehow travel through time?"
