Desert. Somewhere between Nevada and Idaho.

The analog wars are long over. "Sterelax" is also dead. now the rest of the people usually just stay in cities, or take their cars and drive somewhere in zones, like they did in 1990s.

You stop on another gas station to buy yourself some food. Being a zone dweller isn't easy at all, but you chose this style of life. As you walk out of the small shop, you spot a tall guy, smoking next to his car. He looks away from others, so he didn't notice you.
