About a month or so later, Alex arrived at the top of a barren mountain range and looked below at a place far down.
In the shadow of this large range lay an Oasis. In the deep valley that was the oasis, there was a market established around it that people ran from either the tribes or people from the city beyond the giant walls to the south.
This was a place known as the Sunken Oasis, and the market was known as the Grand Bazaar of the Wasteland.
This was the place where everyone came to buy and sell their things for food, clothing, weapons, or other things.
Metal was one of the most popular things that were sold here as metal was very rare in the desert after all.
Aside from that wood was also hard to find, but it didn't sell as well as metal, especially since the desert people had already figured out alternatives to wood.
They had houses built from stones, and their fire never needed fuel. So, they were more than happy to go without it.
