The long-dried riverbed meanders through the cracked earth, and occasionally the diverted river flows in the riverbed in the other direction, but the water is a yellowish-black mud.

The riverbed was littered with rusty ruins of buildings and broken vehicles, and even the iron anchor of a large ship could be seen, standing upright on the ground, like a cold tombstone erected on the ground.

570 kilometers east of Mine City, surrounded by a large number of buried and broken urban buildings, there is a once-bustling border town called "Neon Town".

It's still buzzing, but the place has a new owner.

The noisy shouting of the town's bazaar, the rumbling of caravans, the rattle of the inhabitants' pots and pans have been replaced by shouts and shouts, and the occasional heart-stirring gunshot and explosion.

The attack that had taken place the night before had caused great panic among all the original residents.

Later, many of the inhabitants were enslaved, and the men were chained and driven at gunpoint to an underground farm called Vault 9, not far from here; Women became cheap laborers, but most of them became the playthings of the mob and were held in collective custody.

The town is the furthest major grain producing area around Mine City, and is also home to the Domino family's heavy weapons factory, which was once heavily guarded.

On weekdays, most of the surrounding population depends on the region's thriving economy and well-developed free trade.

Almost like Mine City, the black market here sells a lot of rare goods, and if you have enough money, you can even get your hands on bipedal mechs and the latest armed vehicles.

With abundant food, a population of nearly 80,000, a weapons industry as its own hematopoietic function, and countless goods brought by caravans, it is like a large self-sufficient town.

Inevitably, it has long been under the eye of a large gang known as the Brotherhood of Steel, who collect and grow from pre-civilization technology, and the Lair is a sprawling urban ruin located 300 kilometers away.

The leader of the "Brotherhood of Steel", a 2.7-meter-tall mutant giant, nicknamed "Wasteland Reveler", is a violent and bloodthirsty guy who quickly became the leader of the mob gang in this area because of his ability to fight and be cruel.

Two days ago, the "Wasteland Revelers" gathered nearly 300 gangs, and took advantage of the night to send dozens of armed chariots, carrying heavy siege weapons and a few bipedal mechas, to raise the billowing yellow sand and attack brazenly.

Encountering almost no resistance, it was easy to seize control of the place.

They had colluded with the garrison early in the morning, had an insight into the town, and had scarcely wasted a single shot—the only shot rang out to inform the guards inside that they were coming, thus opening the heavy gates of the town.

Originally, the troops stationed here were the elite soldiers of the Domino family, but at this moment they had no intention of fighting.

Not only had they not received their food for months, but there had been no caravans passing through here for a long time to exchange supplies, and there was no news of any mining city, and even the spies sent out were nowhere to be found.

No one knew what was going on over there, everyone was in a mess, and even the local militia couldn't control the chaos.

At first, the guards of the various factories were only secretly guarding and stealing, but then it became more and more intense—how could such a thing be hidden from those men? Finding that the commanders at all levels were doing this, the guards felt that they had suffered a loss, and they had not received the food and the living materials they deserved for a long time, and their hearts were already full of resentment.

Soon, these people began to loot the warehouse they were guarding.

Things immediately spiraled out of control, and everyone was at risk.

Almost everyone is openly forming gangs, forming cliques for personal gain, and then constantly moving their share of property to the city, and some small groups even hurt each other, and there are not a few who are killed and injured.

It didn't take long for the atmosphere to spread throughout the town, and the people of the town began to feel bad, with shops burning, hoarding, looting, and bloodshed happening all the time.

A tall man in all-encompassing armor with four red electronic eyes flashing one after another. The muscles on his skin covered with poisonous sores bulged high, and he was standing on the stone wall 7 or 8 meters high on the outskirts of the town, looking at the shiny plains at the foot of the mountains in the distance, and there seemed to be a large amount of dust rolling in.

He's the leader of the mob, the guy known as the "Wasteland Reveller."

"Whew!"

A puff of white smoke erupted from his helmet, and he pointed the laser mauser in his hand at the blurry dust in the distance and asked, "Isn't that the direction of Mine City?" ”

"No, Boss, the Mine City is over there, in the opposite direction!" A guard who had just surrendered beside him pointed in the other direction.

"! Did you tell me? ”

As soon as the leader reached out and grabbed the guard by the collar, the cold helmet reached the man's nose and roared, a puff of smoke sprayed into his face, and the poor guard's feet were already dangling.

"Open your mouth wide!"

"I, I ......"

"What are you? Mouth! ”

Although the guard panicked, he still obediently opened his mouth wide, not knowing what the leader wanted to do.

"Whew!"

The half-burning cigar was pressed hard against the guard's tongue.

Immediately after, the leader threw it casually, and his body of more than 100 catties was like a broken sack, and he was thrown on the roof of a broken car with smoke in his mouth.

With a bang, a large crater was smashed into the roof of the car, and the guy was foaming at the mouth and was unconscious.

Several of the surrounding thugs seemed to have become accustomed to it, and a wave erupted, all pointing at the guard and laughing wildly.

"Boom!"

The sound of the crowd's laughter was drowned out by the loud explosion, and the frightened crowd turned their heads to look at the buildings in the city that were emitting fire and smoke.

In the thick smoke, a thug with fire rushed out of the room, howling and rolling on the ground.

In an instant, several more shells whistled from the south-west sky, and then exploded in the middle of the town, and for a moment smoke and dust flew everywhere and debris flew everywhere, and buildings were blazing with fire.

The thugs rushed out from all directions, some with weapons, some in disheveled clothes, some with trouser belts, and some panicked, all shouting indiscriminately.

"It's the enemy! Sound the alarm! ”

"Did anyone see it, and in what direction was the missile fired?"

"Is it a clearance force sent by Mine City? What are we going to do, Boss? ”

"Damn, you can't throw away the fat that just arrived! Copy the guys, them! ”

"Nonsense, how can it be the troops of Mine City! It's coming too fast, isn't it? ”

"Quick, quick! Start the car! ”

A sharp siren sounded, and the mob climbed into the car like frightened beasts, picking up all kinds of weapons from their sides.

"This is my car, why did you take it?"

A thug had just climbed into a car when a tall young man with a shovel in hand jumped out of the building — a town militia member who looked at his costume.

"Fuck off! This car Lao Tzu requisitioned! ”

The thug just wanted to raise the weapon in his hand, and when he glanced at it, he couldn't help but be stunned, it was a baseball bat dug up from the ruins of a former civilization, with the number 2020 written on it, a commemorative model.

Then, out of nowhere, several militiamen rushed out, dragged the unlucky guy out of the car, and each picked up his weapon and beckoned to him.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sa! ”

After another round of shelling, the sound of bombardment was heard in the town.

The thugs in the city were so frightened that they crawled into the tunnels, basements, and wherever they could hide, even under the tables.

The "Wasteland Reveler" was also terrified at the moment, and he knew very well in his heart that the possession of such a weapon must be a huge armed force.

Maybe it was really the nobles of Mine City who sent an army?

However, previous information showed that the Mine City side was said to have been busy with its own affairs, and the rule of the nobles was crumbling, and almost all the caravans entering and leaving the city were encountered, except for the occasional refugees who escaped from there, and other forces did not want to get close to it at all.

What's going on today?

He had just taken the town, and before he could enjoy it, he was raided, did he want to snatch the fruits of his victory?

"He's NND, you're all panicking! Hurry up and copy the guys, and go to the city wall to defend it for me! Bring Lao Tzu's pasta! ”

"Spaghetti" was the name he gave to his power mech, after a lifelike sculpture he had long forgotten from the ruins.

It's a rare item he's bought on the black market at great expense, and it has powerful armor and weapon systems.

The air raid sirens were still screeching and screaming, as if to remind the town's thugs that there was another round of attacks.

"Look! What the hell is that? ”

As soon as one of the thugs climbed the ladder, he was shocked to see another guy who had climbed the wall before him fell off the wall.

When he came back to his senses, a guy with his bare upper body and veins protruding from his skin, and his whole body was covered in dead gray, appeared in front of him.

This man was tall and almost caught up with the "Wasteland Reveler", with an empty look in his terrifying and hideous expression, and he jumped from the city wall and smashed to the ground.

"Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly—"

Several quick-eyed thugs opened fire. The dead gray guy was shot several times, and his body was also beaten backwards, staggering but still standing.

"Oh my God! Isn't that guy afraid of bullets? ”

"What's this guy made of?"

Several thugs couldn't help but retreat, their weapons still spitting tongues of fire, but they were clearly shocked by the monster in front of them.

The place where the bullet hit quickly crackled with flames, and the skin of the tall man turned from dead gray to dark red like scorching lava, and the bullet was squeezed by the muscles, and immediately clanged to the ground.

I saw him cover his face with his arm, and rushed towards the thugs who were shooting, and in an instant, everyone who came into contact was on fire.

The screams are endless!

Those who radiated high-energy heat were called "Exterminators", a group of mutants transferred by the Emperor of the Ancient Iron City himself, their body cells were mixed with the Emperor's genes, and less than 39 of the first 200 debuggers survived.

The rumbling cannon in the distance grew louder and louder, and a huge shadow suddenly fell on the ground, and the sky of the whole town darkened, as if a dark cloud was pressing down.
