Simon had planned to return to the city after arranging the gladiatorial slaves in K82 Village, after all, Adolfina had promised to find out the few Hydra reserve members who had been besieged by General Ted Bertrand the other day. Simon wondered if he would be in danger in Lakeside Village for the night, lest he be ambushed again, and asked himself if he would have a problem taking care of himself now, unless Hydra Nine went out in person, or Solomon sent a commando to take his life. The occurrence of the former indicates that he has broken with Adolfina, and the occurrence of the latter indicates that Hydra has taken him as an outcast.

At least at this point, Simon knew he could sell at a price.

Simon spent the afternoon questioning the six gladiatorial slaves one by one. The core area of the New Jersey Empire is the old New Jersey during the Union era, because of the dense population and developed economy, it suffered the most nuclear bomb attacks in the judgment day, and also relied on the most intensive shelter project to rise rapidly, but the destroyed environment and ozone layer make the sunlight there extremely strong, and the people of the New Jersey Empire generally have a white complexion with black and red, rough skin like a plateau. It is very distinguishable from the northerners who have a cold climate and a slightly better environment in the north-central region and appear to have a white complexion.

All six of them suffered from radiation sickness to varying degrees, from early to late stages. The mutation factors of radiation sickness do not necessarily alienate people into sarcoma cysts all over the body, but also have a chance to develop into internal organs and bones, and the lucky ones may become natural mutants, such as Adolfina. As far as she is concerned, she developed her first camouflage ability before concocting Hydra's blood on her own, and in that respect she is a true master of potions. Luckily, it became a double-edged sword disease like Jonathan, who was extremely burly but had a greatly shortened lifespan. If you're unlucky, countless complications will completely kill the host within half a year.

Being able to be gladiators means that these people are not at risk of infectious diseases, but in order to train them to be qualified and loyal soldiers, the first thing is to afford their anti-radiant drugs. The overall price of anti-radiation fluctuates at 500 yuan per bottle, and 20 tablets per bottle. In the middle and late stages, the dose should be doubled, and in severe cases, it is even necessary to regularly dispel radiant to inhibit cancerous cells. Simon knows that the price of anti-radiation within the Iron Army is 180 yuan a bottle, which is already a pure cost price or even a loss-making supply. All the factories that supplied the army with supplies were public property, and even the Franz family could not touch them at will. Every bottle of anti-radiant is made and a few milliliters of bone marrow are consumed by a lake demon, so this is not a problem of production capacity of the production line, but a problem of raw material supply. Anti-radiation drugs are basically extracted from the strong mutant organisms in the wasteland, and it is not impossible to refine them theoretically with wild bears, snow pythons, and demon eagles, but these organisms themselves carry extremely strong infectious agents and toxicity, and the existing medical technology cannot eliminate them at all. Only the extreme mutant species of carp from Lake Erie, known as the Lake Demon, can be used. Steel caravans occasionally bring back cavitated dragon skeletons from the Southern Bay from the Black Mountain Free Zone, but it's a drop in the bucket.

Steel City's restriction on the size of the army is really not a lack of manpower or money or equipment, but a lack of medical care. The Winter War really entered the high-intensity combat from November to March of the following year, and in half a year, the Iron Army consumed tens of thousands of anti-radiation drugs to ensure that the combat effectiveness was maintained in the ruins of Columbus, and the army after the counterattack began

Crossing the endless swamps between Southern Ohio and West Virginia is even more exhausting. WASTELANDERS WITH NORMAL BRAINS WILL NEVER EASILY HUNT LARGE MUTANT CREATURES, WHETHER THEY HAVE BEEN BEATEN OR NOT IS ONE THING, MAY I ASK WHAT CREATURES IN THE WORLD CAN WITHSTAND THE 152MM TAIL STABILIZED DESHELLING ARMOR-PIERCING BULLET? Or can the Demon Eagle hold a string of Erley anti-aircraft guns? The fact that human beings are very strong does not mean that human beings themselves are fierce, and an adult demon eagle is a new source of radiation after death. Leaving people in piles and then staying in them is the equivalent of swimming in the cooling water of a nuclear power plant. Otherwise, the Crusader Warlords would not easily abandon the preset position of the strong, and turned around and ran into Simon's ambush circle.

A quarter is six bottles of anti-radiation, 4,000 yuan just to maintain health. Simon felt more and more headaches. He crossed his waist and pondered for a moment, then went to the Hummer and turned over six bottles of anti-radiation, and pulled out ten tablets each. Slam the door shut and hand it to the gladiatorial slaves. The latter opened the lid and smelled it, and they were all stunned.

"I redeem you because we are all the same in nature, we are all soldiers, outcasts, forgotten soldiers, we have fought to the death for a faith, an organization, and when we wake up, none of our former comrades-in-arms have come to rescue us. You were gladiators, like animals, entertaining with your own blood. Me too, I was loyal to the Old Union Army, I fought for five years, and as a result I lost my parents, my fiancée, my hometown, and what I got was ......"

"Zero." Simon walked past each gladiator slave, eye to eye, remembering everyone's face, no matter what the person had done before. "Inside is anti-Huining, you deserve to live with dignity and regain honor, I am not your master, but your comrade-in-arms, a commander who lives and dies together, I will not drive you to die meaninglessly, I will treat you as a robe, yes, you still need to fight, but this time, you don't have to worry about the back."

Simon didn't expect a word to move everyone, to his surprise, a few unspeakable emotions flashed in the eyes of the six people, no matter what, Simon's heartfelt words aroused their empathy. They have all been loyal to the army, whether they want to or not, not for the grand wishes of a certain emperor, but only for the comrades-in-arms around them, and that kind of collective life can influence anyone, the commander is hateful, and the comrades-in-arms are alive.

Simon's highest rank is only sergeant, which means that he walks into the same position as the soldier in the war.

"To survive, this land needs a master."

It's best to come in gradually, it's easy to be disgusted if you do too much, Jonathan drove the six gladiatorial slaves to a warehouse, which has forage and is warm enough, and it is naturally impossible to release it without confirming trust.

Simon stepped over the bench, leaned reflexively against the log pillar, lowered his head to light Jonathan's cigarette, and took a puff, and the two white mist melted together. The two of them silently watched the anger in this small village from nothing. The men went fishing, the women were weaving in the fields, and the young children were happily chasing each other. Under the protection of the watchtower machine guns, they do not go beyond the village, this is paradise.

"Oh ho, I ran wrong, where is that kid hiding, go quickly." A little yellow-haired girl shouted loudly to her playmate blindfolded, and bumped into Jonathan,

The bald giant's thigh is thicker than this girl's whole person. Simon watched as the seven-foot-tall giant man gently picked up the girl and let her go to the other side.

"Sometimes I think that if the war hadn't started, I'd ...... now," Simon dusted off his cigarette ash and imagined that if the war on the Eastern Front had not broken out, then he would go to Pennsylvania and Juliana would go to medical school, and then he would get a decent job in Philadelphia, work 9-to-5, get married, and have children, and in the current year 2117, he is already in his old age, and he may have no regrets in this life. Instead of five years of blood and fire, I have been frozen for 60 years, thinking about how to kill people more efficiently.

"Forget it, it doesn't make much difference." Simon's cigarette became more and more ferocious, choking him violently, and the lake shimmered golden in the setting sun.

"You're going to spend the night here tonight, it's getting dark." Jonathan suggested. Simon nodded in agreement.

At dinner, Simon thought it was still the same bad diet as at noon, and sure enough, Simon took a bite of the blade grain bread, but found that the taste was a lot softer. Just as they were about to take a few bites, Jonathan's new wives magically served a pot of fragrant luncheon meat and fish soup. The mother-in-law with a bell-like chest rubbed her apron a little timidly, and stammered: "Last time, last time the children took canned food, I didn't dare to let them eat it for nothing, you are suitable." ”

"Let's call them together, they're full of cigarettes alone." Simon smiled, scooped a bowl, and asked Jonathan to call the children who had been poking their brains outside the room in. But Simon actually didn't like this kind of scene, he walked out, looked at the lake, he regretted that he had dropped the photo necklace, but regret was useless.

At night, Simon rejected several village girls who wanted to spend the spring night together, and put his hands behind his head, trying to fall asleep in a daze. He really dreamed of Philadelphia, which was still bustling with traffic, and he drove his wife from the hospital to pick up his wife from the hospital, linger for the night, and drive back to Lone Pine on the weekend to play the harmonica under the lemon tree. A harmonica, all over the world......

An instinctive cold sensation rushed through his brain, Simon suddenly got up, grabbed the python like lightning, and headed towards the still closed door, just when he thought it was a hallucination, the shadow swayed slightly. "The reaction is okay, sleep lightly."

Simon twisted quickly, and a masked man wrapped in a black trench coat appeared from the point of the gun, and before the trigger could be pulled, the masked man had already slapped Simon on the shoulder. "Take it easy, Hydra, Seth Zero."

Hearing this, Simon lowered his gun, got up and pulled out the candle, Seiz wiped off the skull face towel, and said without nonsense: "Morfin asked me to come to you, there are two things for you to go back and deal with personally." ”

"What do you want to come to at night?" Simon recognized Sezi. This person is an old partner of Adolfina who is full of praise, and is expected to run for the senior member of the nine.

Seth glanced at Simon, opened the door, a cold wind rushed in, instantly dissipated his sleepiness, he said: "Morfin has a little trouble, uh, it's a kind of trouble, I can't wait for a moment, she's waiting for you in the M District Auditorium." ”

Simon suddenly remembered something, and hesitated slightly, "You didn't kill the guards, did you?" ”

Sezi pulled on his scarf meaningfully and muffled, "You shouldn't be thinking about this now. ”
