Peter has not been in the residence for the past few days, probably because he can't stand the extra energy of the two. In the money from the K82 mission, the teenager updated his equipment and bought an M24E1 sniper rifle, which alone cost Peter's savings with variable magnification. According to his words: "Anyway, the tuition fee is so expensive, sharpening the knife is not a mistake for chopping wood, and when I went to report to the Iron and Steel University, I was ridiculed for missing hardware." The remaining dozens of dollars Peter bought a shipping container not far from Adolfina's house. It's probably the effort to stretch your feet.

The word lonely man and widow itself carries a hormonal flavor. It wasn't until the next morning that Simon woke up, and Adolfina rolled the sheets playfully, "Hey, it's your turn to serve me, go buy breakfast!" I want the blood on the ice to cook, don't use my mother's money anymore! I can guess how much you're earning! ”

Simon rolled his eyes, tightened his belt, leaned over and kissed his girlfriend gently, and said, "You like those weird things, can you eat them?" ”

The red-haired girl pushed Simon away angrily and complained, "Yo, what's not to eat, it's just a lot of nonsense." ”

If all the proceeds of the K82 mission are collected in his hands, and he digs three feet into the ground, it will be enough for Simon to go to the Iron and Steel Bank to open an account, alas, it would be good to have a dream. The trench coat covers the revolver and the dagger is inserted into the boot, and although Hydra's bloodline ritual will give him mutation abilities, according to Adolfina, it will be a relatively long process, and the firearm will still be a source of Simon's security until he gets the serpentine pupil.

Since he has plenty of money, he naturally doesn't have to be harsh on himself, Simon first pre-ordered a river fresh, well, it is the aquatic product shop that was beaten by Simon if he couldn't manage the lobster. Subsequently, Simon bought another box of 7.62 bullets to supplement the power of the revolver Magnum, after thinking twice, Simon decided to add an AK100, not that Simon suddenly changed careers to be an assaulter, but Simon was reluctant to change the M110A4 to a fully automatic mode, and the sniper before the war must also carry an M5 carbine in case of emergency. With the Rangers' veterans, Simon easily set up a series of rail sights and other neat equipment and paid the shopkeeper a relatively reasonable price. After all, bullying insiders is to be beaten, especially Simon doesn't look like a good person at all. The blood is rolling in the mud a lot, and the layman can tell it at a glance.

"Blood on ice?" She still has to serve Adolfina, but the breakfast she asks for is in Zone E, Simon takes a step, and the AK100 hidden in the trench coat is not too obtrusive. The Iron City Stacked Buildings District Patrol Team is generally recruited by long-term residents with stable qualifications, subordinate to the city management committee, and the slippery ground snakes know very well which people are soft persimmons, which people are stones in the pit, and who need to be provided, as long as a soldier or mercenary like Simon does not seriously violate the code, such as not shooting, not killing people in the street, and not shouting insults at the upper class. Well, feel free.

Simon waited for the traffic light and walked to Area E for about twenty or thirty minutes, but Simon didn't drive a jeep, mainly because fuel was harder to find than a car. As we all know, the southern part of the federation is the main oil-producing area, and the large refineries will be completely wiped out, and they can only rely on the remnants of the facilities to operate on a very small scale, and with the lack of transportation, the steel city has no refining capacity but no collection capacity. The Thirteen Councils buy large quantities of crude oil from the Washington Union every year, and the Empire knows that the Western Railroad is the blood supply line of the Alliance, but even the most radical butcher faction only dares to use their mouths to cut off the crude oil railway. Cutting off the supply of crude oil to the Great Lakes industrial region, the empire will not even be able to complete the ammunition reserves for the next campaign.

"Knock knock." The road between Zones F and E is blocked by a yellow cordon. THE STEEL ARMY MARCHED FORWARD LIKE A THUNDERBOLT, THE STREETS WERE EMPTIED, AND AN M2 TANK EQUIPPED WITH A 152MM MAIN GUN GUIDED THE MARCH IN A MAJESTIC MANNER, FOLLOWED BY ABOUT TWO HUNDRED EXOSKELETON SOLDIERS. The inhabitants whispered that this was the fourth increase in troops on the outer front since the Scarlet Crusaders had attacked the steel caravan. With the end of trade activities with the Montenegrin region, fuel prices in the city are rising. "Slaughter all the crusaders and build the walls!" A man beside Simon shouted, instantly eliciting applause.

"Pull out those scum, wolf's front teeth!"

"Lao Tzu will never pay any more cross taxes!"

"the crusaders!" The crowds came and went, and some people began to throw confetti at the Iron Army, and a girl rushed to the cordon, revealing her chest, shouting: "Invincible!" Iron Army! ”

The police struggled to maintain the cordon, and the white flowers' chests swayed, but the Iron Army, made up of Iron Men (Iron City families who had served in the military for generations), did not squint, and the land tank lifted the hatch to reveal an officer wearing a beret, who was the first to sing: "The sun on the grass fills the warm summer ......"

"The bucks run freely in the woods, but we need to be united and brave the storm." The commanders of the chariots also held on to the commander's tower and followed the commander's firm singing: "Tomorrow is ours after all!" ”

"Tomorrow is ours after all!" The Iron Army slashed the M6 rifle obliquely, and the bayonet pointed straight at the gray sky, "Boom! "Two hundred pairs of iron feet stepped on the asphalt, and the maidens cheered wildly, waving the Black Star Banner." Invincible! Iron Army! The forest raised the arms of the passers-by, and everyone shouted in unison.

"The branches and leaves of the linden tree are tender and green and dense, and the great lake is cast with steel and infused with beauty." Simon vaguely remembered that when the reinforcements were waiting for the follow-up transfer at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany, a group of high-spirited German soldiers sang the same song and stepped on the C-7 "Overlord" transport plane, and they were airdropped to the already fallen eastern front to block the unstoppable advance of the Imperial armored forces. By the end of the year, Ramstein took off with the Blue Seven Star Imperial fighter plane.

"Give us, my dear city-state, a sign that your children are looking forward to!" The tall and proud Iron Army is like a flood of people who have crossed the Black Wall Avenue, even if there are tall buildings, there is no obstacle to the towering black wall, the Iron Army raised its right arm, raised its head sideways, and the song suddenly jumped to the climax.

"When a ray of sunshine appears tomorrow, the world will finally belong to us!" Two hundred arms, two hundred salutes, the black wall silently watched her mighty, loyal army. "The future will be, the future will be, the future will be ...... "triple" tomorrow "future", the momentum rises to the pinnacle of incomparability, the turret of the land tank rotates, and a huge portrait hangs against the black wall steel door. "It's ours!"

At the end of the song, the commander shouted: "Hooray! ”

"Franz!" At this moment, not only the Iron Army, but also the residents were allowed to join the ensemble, and some even burst into tears, "Savior! Simon said with tears in his eyes.

"Hooray!" Again.

"Hooray! Franz! Simon remembered hooray, Hydra, people like rituals so much these days? It's a shame that the Rangers didn't add a little "Rangers out of the way!" Indomitable! In addition to the slogan, maybe there will be the magic blessing of bullets flying around!

The Iron Army drove out of the Steel City in high spirits, leaving a line of deep track imprints, the management staff released the cordon for pedestrians, the road workers swarmed up to repair the damaged road, Simon touched the stubble, his heart was tasteless, he had to buy breakfast for Adolfina, and he would definitely be beaten if he returned late.

Area E is the most livable living area of the steel city except for the black wall, the standard apartment building is painted with a radiation-resistant material layer, and the lush greenery can be seen in the market in the steel bar anti-theft net, pothos, sea buckthorn, nine mile incense, cloth grain ball, Chitose orchid, these plants that are not picky about the environment at all constitute the ideal of human beings in the pursuit of comfort. A well-laid sewer system keeps the asphalted roads water-free, and of course, not everyone can enter and exit Area E at will, and the patrols have set up checkpoints in Area E, where they must be dressed modestly, or at least behave like a gentleman or lady, or they will know where the untouchables are going to defecate and provoke bullets.

After nine o'clock, the E section was quiet and silent, with the occasional bird chirping, Simon walked straight to the market dining area, and Adolfina named "Blood on Ice" was a neon restaurant, and frankly, Simon felt that he could live well with canned food. Fortunately, the queue was orderly, and Simon beckoned the newsboy to take a copy of the "Steel Daily" to relieve his boredom.

"Good news! The Shameless and Despicable Crusaders are being met head-on by the Iron Army in the R154 area. "The headline on the front page is a heroic album of the Iron Army beating the enemy. Simon omitted propaganda as a means of propaganda, and the valuable essence of the newspaper was often in the corner pages, and just as Simon was playing a crossword puzzle, a surprised female voice sounded: "Is that you?" Mr. Hayes? ”

Simon's steel-blue eyes poked out of the newspaper, and he immediately gave the visitor a bright smile: "Miss Collins, I really didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Lily Collins carried a dish and held the arm of the handsome man in the blue-gray tweed coat beside her, who seemed reserved and reserved compared to his fiancée's enthusiasm, and only bowed his head politely. "It must have been Fenna who brought you here, she usually likes to eat this." Lily lifted the ice-blue salad in the bag, she leaned forward a little, and whispered mysteriously, "So, you're Fenna's boyfriend now?" ”

Seeing that the topic was a bit overstepping, Collins's fiancé coughed a few times, said "sorry", and immediately took a step, almost leaving with his fiancée, although the two were dozens of yards apart, Simon still heard his annoyance clearly: "Less contact with these people in the future, untouchable friends in Area F?" Sounds so humiliating! ”

Simon shrugged, a skill in filtering out excess color through a pair of tinted glasses, and after he paid for it, he picked up a blueberry salad and returned to his residence. "You haven't woken up yet?" Simon knocked on the door, but it was opened by a long ear.

"Good morning." Long ears float into a mechanical smile.

"Hello." The same goes for Simon.
