  • *They can only see a cut-out of the reality*
  • Depending on their technological capabilities underground people might have something like periscopes, cameras or drones available to take a "peek" on the overground world.
  • Maybe they have the unlucky situation to live in a remote area that was "green" once but during/after the war turned into an uninhabitable desert. Overground societies developing again decided to declare that desert a "no-go-zone" not knowing about the underground people.
  • If needed this can be pushed to the extremes like: One continent is thriving again, but they are on the continent that did not. So the "world" looks still devastated to them.

  • Depending on their technological capabilities underground people might have something like periscopes, cameras or drones available to take a "peek" on the overground world (they could also have antennas for receiving radio signals, though).

*They can only see a cut-out of the reality*

Depending on their technological capabilities underground people might have something like periscopes, cameras or drones available to take a "peek" on the overground world.

Maybe they have the unlucky situation to live in a remote area that was "green" once but after the war turned into an uninhabitable desert. Overground societies developing again decided to declare that desert a "no-go-zone" not knowing about the underground people.

If needed this can be pushed to the extremes like: One continent is striving again, but they are on the continent that did not. So the "world" looks still devastated to them.
