Before the outbreak of nuclear war, the two countries agreed on the exchange of prisoners, and were prepared to establish a life channel for the exchange of soldiers who fell into the hands of each other in the war.

However, just before the hostage exchange program officially began, a nuclear war broke out, the world was plunged into chaos, radioactive fallout enveloped the heavens and the earth, and a nuclear winter came.

The hostage exchange program was thus hampered......

Time came to a certain spring more than 100 years after the nuclear war.

Johnson landed in Area 21 and traveled to the land where his ancestors had fought, with the aim of finding his great-great-grandfather's body and bringing it back to the North American continent for burial.

Anyone with an online IQ who hears his story will probably wonder if his brain has been burned out by an overdose of radiation.

Crossing the ocean in order to find the remains of the ancestors and return to their hometown for burial? Not to mention whether he can return alive, it is difficult to reach the sky just by finding the target.

Who knows where those U.S. prisoners were kept before the outbreak of nuclear war?

Even if he knew where the American prisoners were kept, who could have figured out which bones were his great-great-grandfather after all these years? Who can guarantee that the corpse will not be crushed by mutant dogs and blown away by the storm?

So, Johnson's actions sound stupid and idiotic.

However, no matter how much others persuaded him to give up, no matter how much he ridiculed him as a stubborn cow, he did not give up his original intention, and after leaving Area 21, he went all the way west, entering the inland area where his great-great-grandfather fought, looking for the prisoner of war camp where the American airborne troops were imprisoned.

Later, he traveled to the Western Alliance area, and with the help of some high-ranking figures, he found some documents on the prisoner exchange plan, and learned that the military had transferred the American airborne troops who had been imprisoned in the prisoner of war facility near Xijing to the peninsula area in order to ensure a fast and smooth passage of life.

It was in such a situation that Johnson left the Western coalition and entered the peninsula region.

It had been four or five years since he landed in Asia.

Because the coastal areas of Huaxia are the key targets of the enemy's nuclear bombs, the degree of destruction is higher than that of the inland areas. Since Johnson arrived on the peninsula, there has been little progress in finding the remains of his great-great-grandfather.

He only vaguely learned that the US Airborne Forces were being held at a secret military facility near the city of Kotoshima, and as for the specific location, he had no clue at all.

With no relevant information to consult, there is only one option: a carpet search.

However, he is only one person, and he wants to turn the area around the ruins of Qindao City upside down, and he can't even think of completing it in a hundred years.

So can he just give up halfway?

Johnson didn't give up and chose to run a bar in Gem City to make money and gather information.

You must know that the people who know the ruins of Qindao City best are none other than those scavengers and merchants.

Such people are accustomed to finding a place to have a drink and relax when they go in and out of Gem City. In addition to serving them drinks, the bar is also a place to share information.

That's why Johnson ran the Wanderer Bar.

It's a pity that six or seven years later, Johnson still hasn't found the remains of his great-great-grandfather, but he has adapted to life in this land and has become a celebrity in Gem City.

There is also news that Johnson is not an honest man, and Johnson was suspected of being a broker at the beginning of Luo Zuoming's collusion with the Western Alliance and betraying the interests of the people of Gem City.

But...... How many of the famous characters under the wasteland sky are clean behind the buttocks?

Others are more interested in the details of Johnson's experience, after all, he crossed the Pacific Ocean as a North American, landed in the Chinese wasteland from Area 21, then traveled inland to western China, and then traveled north to Xijing, and finally to the peninsula. It's definitely not going to be peaceful along the way.

What amazing luck does this guy have, he was able to safely escape from marauders, beasts, bandits, and even evil mercenaries, evil scavengers, and mutants to come to the peninsula area safely!

Unfortunately, Johnson never elaborated on his experience, so no one knows what kind of winning weapon he has to overcome the hardships along the way.

In the eyes of the residents of Gem City, Johnson is a very kind gringo, who will greet people with warm words, take off his hat to show respect when talking to people, help them as much as possible when he sees the old and sick, and sometimes give generously when employees cannot afford to pay for protection...... For example, Diced Radish, who left the homeless bar in the spring of last year to find a way to redeem, would have starved to death in an abandoned building outside the city without Johnson's help.

On the other hand, he is also a very talented person, who can push cups and exchange lamps with Wang Ming and Hui Liancai, call ordinary people brothers, and talk with cultural people in the middle.

Johnson also has a good knack for ------ often comes to the homeless bar for help on how Johnson can take care of his image. Just like the carved mohican head with high openings, and Rena's new hairstyle, they are all from Johnson's hands.

In addition to this, Johnson has another ability that is talked about. He always got a lot of overseas goods, such as shampoo, such as bourbon sold in bars, such as green olives in cocktails, and some parts needed for imported cars...... It is said that Wang Ming's luxury car with a little gold man once broke down two kilometers away from the manor, and it was all up to Johnson to rush to repair it overnight, so as to avoid becoming steel garbage in the ruins of Qindao City.

Of course, now the car has not escaped the doom of turning into garbage except for the little golden figure on the roof.

This is also the reason why Tan Zhen asked him where he got a lot of foreign goods, and Johnson replied by saying that he was North American.

Since he was able to travel across the ocean to the Chinese Wasteland, he could naturally introduce the goods of the North American Wasteland to Gem City.

Tan Zhen didn't ask for more details, or that it wasn't his focus at all, but just to use Johnson's answer to lead to another question.

"What is your relationship with the Black Saint Prophet?"

Boom!

There was a sound of footsteps pausing at the top of the staircase on the second floor.

The owner of the Wanderer Bar looked back with a mysterious smile on his face: "Guess. ”

You guess......

This shows that he was unwilling to answer the question head-on, and that he did not care about Tan Zhen's view of his relationship with the Prophet.

Johnson's demeanor was calm, and Tang Yan swept over the people behind him with a look of surprise, the news of the ghouls in his heart was very well-informed, and the power of the ship boss was in the southern sea, but he didn't expect that he also had a considerable degree of understanding of the third-rate bandit group like the Black Saints.

And he doesn't think it's pertinent for the ghouls to ask Johnson if he had anything to do with the Prophet, and it's likely that there was insider trading between the two sides. The U.S.-made military jeep he drove from the Black Saints base to the rolling mill was a good example.

Tan Zhen looked at Tang Yan and then at Johnson, and snorted.

By this time, the four of them had already arrived on the second floor of the Wanderer Bar.

Johnson pushed open a door not far from the staircase and invited the three to enter.

In the center of the room is a combination of a coffee table and a sofa, and in the middle of the room are two wine cabinets, with a fireplace for heating and some firewood in the middle.

"Sit casually."

Johnson let the three of them sit down on the sofa, opened the side wine cabinet and took out a bottle of bourbon and four glasses, he poured some wine for three of the glasses, added a few pieces of ice, mixed the last cup with soda, and then handed the cup with ice cubes to Tang Yan and Tan Zhen, handed the cup mixed with soda to Cai Wei, and finally sat down on the single sofa with his own glass.

Unlike the image of American soldiers in pre-war brochures, Johnson gives the impression of a standard Uncle Sam, steady, decent, mature, and down-to-earth......

He took a sip of the cup, his eyes fell on Tang Yan's face, and after a pause, he looked at the ghoul who was slightly in front of him, his back away from the sofa, and smiled toothily.

"I'm so sorry, I was supposed to visit ......"

Tang Yan said with a smile: "I also want to thank Mr. Johnson for sending General Wang back to the cannery." ”

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do." Johnson said: "I deeply regret what happened to Mr. Wang. ”

Really...... The cook, the guy told his own story with the strength of the wine.

"Heh......" Tang Yan smiled and put the cup back on the table: "I don't know what business Mr. Johnson invited me over this time to discuss." ”

"Wait." A voice interrupted Tang Yan to ask, and the ghoul looked into Johnson's eyes and said, "What's the matter with the man wearing sunglasses in the corner of the first floor?" ”

Johnson took a deep sip of his wine, put the glass back on the table, and leaned back into the depths of the couch.

"That man called himself Wu Meng, a mercenary of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment, and he came to Gem City to deliver a letter to someone."

Tan Zhen didn't speak.

Tang Yan didn't speak either.

Cai Wei got up from the sofa and walked to the front of the back window, looking at the American flags neatly stacked on the small table next to her.

American flag on the Chinese continent......

Even if the rules are stacked neatly, it is difficult to hide its dilapidation.

The fabric had been badly faded, with large and small holes on it, and some stains that could not be washed off.

Johnson looked back at her back and said, "That's what I found in the POW camp in northern Xijing, it was stuffed into the crevice of the wall behind the bed board, and it was hidden deeply. ”

Tan Zhen narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Noticing the change in the ghoul's expression, Johnson didn't explain much and turned the conversation back to the man in sunglasses.

"Of course, sending a letter to someone is a trick. Wu Meng has been inquiring about the situation in the Northern Gourd Valley in the past few days in Gem City. ”

"Gourd Valley?"

"Well, Gourd Valley."

Hulu Valley is in the north of the ruins of Qindao City, and is generally regarded as a forbidden area. Only some mercenary groups and bounty hunter groups have experienced the mission in Gourd Valley.

It is said that there is a military facility hidden in the Hulu Valley, which is a backup command post for the peninsula's military system, and may have sealed advanced pre-war weapons.

From the perspective of collecting resources, Hulu Valley is likely to be a treasure land. However, this treasure land is now home to mutant bears and mirelurks. According to a bounty hunter who traveled to the outskirts of the Gourd Valley several times to hunt mutated two-headed deer, he encountered a very special kind of large living corpse there.

The Yunmeng mercenary group, which is active in the area between Jecheng and Langya, has gone deep into the peninsula and has a strong interest in the dangerous Hulu Valley? What exactly is there that attracts them?

The Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment is not comparable to the Panda Man Legion and the Warrior Company, which are not in the entire continent environment, and the number of its personnel exceeds 700 people.

Tan Zhen glanced at Tang Yan and said, "I thought that person came to Gem City to fight your idea." ”

The ghouls' worries are not unreasonable, after all, the Yunmeng mercenary group is active between the areas inhabited by Jecheng and Langya, and it is by no means an unacceptable thing to accept the commission of Jecheng to intervene in the struggle of Gem City.

Tang Yan said: "You seem to be very disappointed. ”

"Of course." The ghoul said, "I'd love to see them come and provoke you and get your leg broken." ”

"Uh, you had a holiday with those people?"

"It was a long time ago......"

Seeing that he didn't want to say it, Tang Yan was not reluctant, and his gaze returned to Johnson's face: "You can continue to talk about business." ”

Johnson nodded: "Actually...... I'm not the one who's going to do business with you. ”

Tang Yan frowned: "How can you say this?" ”

"Well, what about me...... It is an intermediary who only facilitates a meeting between the two sides of the business, and as for what the sale is and what the outcome of the meeting is, I am not qualified to know, and I do not want to know. ”

Brokers......

Tang Yan said in his heart that perhaps, as rumored by the outside world, it was Johnson who facilitated Luo Zuoming's cooperative relationship with the Western Alliance.

"Tell me, who's the guy who's going to talk to me about the deal."

Johnson straightened up, some burning gaze cast on his face.

"The City Lord of Kite City...... Fei Xiang! ”

Fei Xiang, the city lord of Kite City?

Fei Xiang, the city lord of Kite City, wants to negotiate a big deal with him?

Not only Tang Yan was stunned when he heard this name, but Tan Zhen also stared at him in surprise when he heard this name.

Cai Wei stood in the night in front of the window, looking at the neon billboard of Pink Heaven in the north, her expression unchanged, and she did not react to the name.

Tan Zhen quickly came back to his senses and looked at Tang Yan with an inquiry in his eyes.

He knew what the ghouls were trying to say.

"Kite City...... Kite City ......"

The teenagers who came to the door to defraud the regeneration potion were probably from Kitetown.

What will the city lord of Kite City do after he gets the regeneration potion? Will it be used for political purposes, or will it be distributed to the people in the city who are suffering from radiation sickness?

He believes that Fei Xiang is more likely to choose the former.

What happened next confirmed his idea from the side------ when attacking Wang Ming's manor, it can be concluded from the conversation between Borodin and Wang Ming that the foreigner's master sent him to Gem City for the purpose of investigating himself.

As the deputy leader of the Pandaren Legion, his area of activity has always been centered on Gem City, and of course it is impossible to pose a threat to the Rus Kingdom militarily.

Since it is not possible to pose a threat militarily, then why did the other side send people to investigate themselves.

Could it be that they have harmed or are about to harm their economic interests?

So what are the economic interests of the Rus' state in the Chinese mainland?

The answer is simple------ anti-radiation/anti-radiation drugs.
