Chapter 045. Beautiful early morning
Slowly opening his eyes, Liszt woke up on the soft big bed, the sunlight outside the window had already filled half of the bedroom, and the warm feeling made him quite comfortable. Gently supporting his body with his hands, he sat on the bed and looked at the decoration in the room, but he couldn't help but stretch hard, feeling really relieved.
Rubbing the corners of his eyes with his hands, Liszt sat on his soft big bed, and suddenly felt unreal. Squinting slightly, he looked at the sunlight outside the window, and with the soft chirping of birds, the noisy sound of chirping made him can't help but show a smile: "It's so good." He slowly breathed a long sigh of relief, the life-and-death struggle in the underground research institute seemed to be yesterday, but the beautiful life now made him feel so good.
Nearly a month has passed since the deathclaw leak that swept through the town, and with O'Neill's reinforcements appearing in the underground research institute, the absolute overall situation has been completely decided. Over the next half month, a large number of troops re-entered the evacuated city and swept away the remaining deathclaws.
And in order to give an account to the evacuated citizens, the original damaged buildings caused by the battle have also been repaired and rebuilt, as if they were no different from before. Moreover, a week ago, the government and military lifted the lockdown on the town, and the evacuated citizens have been rearranged to live in their homes. It was at that time that Liszt returned to his home, and has been resting comfortably until now.
"Well, it's early in the morning, the sun is really dazzling..."
Gently lifting the wool blanket on his body, Liszt walked to the kitchen in shorts and made himself a cup of fine ground coffee. As the mellow and slightly bitter taste emanated from the tip of his tongue, a wave of power also appeared in his body with the heat flowing down his throat, making him wake up completely. Standing in front of the balcony window, he looked at the somewhat depressed street outside, but couldn't help but sigh softly: "Sure enough, the order to evacuate the citizens in an emergency still makes this small city a little declining." ”
The deathclaw leak did not cause a nationwide upheaval, and even the citizens of this small town only got the argument that racists were trying to detonate a chemical plant in the eastern suburbs and evacuate the citizens to avoid a chemical attack. Although all the citizens have accepted this statement, they can't believe the security problems in this small city, almost one-third of the citizens choose to move away immediately, and another one-third of the citizens also plan to wait and see for a while.
Almost in a month, although it was not prosperous, but it could not be said to be a depressed town, it suddenly declined. All industries seem to have fallen into a kind of depression, except for the moving companies that have fallen into some kind of abnormal prosperity. Even the original three moving companies had to work overtime 24 hours a day to evacuate all those uneasy citizens to other big cities with good security.
"I don't know if I should have left this small city too........."
Taking a sip of coffee, Liszt didn't continue to look at the already empty street, sighed helplessly, and felt a little emotional about his future. He came to the town after retiring and was assigned to work in an auto repair shop, but the depressed market also affected the shop, where few customers came to repair cars, and he was in danger of losing his job.
Turning around and walking back to the living room, Liszt was still sitting on the sofa, and although he was about to lose his job, he was not very uneasy. After coming out of the underground research institute, he was interrogated by the secret department and given a gag order, but he was not embarrassed by anything. On the contrary, because of his heroic actions and helping to save the underground research institute and maintain the safety of this small city, the secret department directly gave him a reward of one million dollars, which can be worthy of his life and death.
"Although I say that I have a million dollars, I know that there will be a nuclear war next, how dare I spend it..."
Liszt sat on the sofa, leaning on the soft cushions, as if he was infected by the gloomy atmosphere of the small town outside, and could not help but be a little pessimistic about the future. A nuclear war in 2077 will eventually break out, and he alone will not be able to stop the two superpowers from becoming more and more intense. And when that nuclear war broke out, the world's human civilization had almost disappeared in just a few hours, and even with the inheritance of refuge, the human world was already in danger.
Humanity, a species measured in billions, died in batches in a nuclear war that lasted for hours. And then in the following nuclear winter, it will continue to perish in pieces. In less than five years, humanity has been wiped out, and nine out of ten of the humans outside have died except for the remnants of humanity who are hiding in shelters to survive. Only the ghouls who have evolved due to radiation are left, and although some of them are still sane, they have little to do with the human species.
"Anyway, I don't want to die miserably in that nuclear war!"
Liszt, who was a little distraught, shook his head vigorously, he had died once, he came to this world, but he didn't want to continue to die. He didn't know if he would continue to travel if he died in this world, and as for whether he wanted to give it a try, as a normal person, he didn't want to take risks. After drinking all the coffee in his cup in one gulp, Liszt started working on the sofa, and although it was nearly nine o'clock, he should have gone to work anyway.
He is still an employee of the auto repair shop, and even if he resigns, he needs to go to the boss Kyle to talk to him, after all, the old Kyle is also a military retirement, and his temper is not very good, but he is still quite generous to Liszt and his employees. At least there has never been a wage arrears, and the average monthly salary is about 30 percent higher than that of other repair shops.
Returning to the bedroom to find his casual clothes, Liszt briefly tidied up his appearance, then opened the door and walked downstairs. The whole apartment was now empty, and there was a bleak air even during the day. Liszt turned his head to look at the surrounding doors, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Is it just me now?" ”
John, who was a neighbor, had returned to the army and was accepted by a secret service, moving out of the area half a month ago. And most of the neighbors are also quite worried about the security of this small city because of the leakage of the death claw accident last time, and they have contacted the moving company, and they have left almost completely a few days ago. As for Jack and Albin on the first floor, it had been a few days since the funeral ended, and the neighbors who were already unfamiliar with each other had only offered flowers, and in the end it was Liszt who paid for the tombstone.
"It's really a person who walks to tea and cool..."
Muttering slowly, Liszt quickly walked out of the stairs, looked at the scattered pedestrians on the street, shook his head vigorously, wrapped his clothes vigorously and walked forward with his head down. He is already familiar with this kind of thing, no matter in which country, people can be regarded as incisive sentences, as long as there are people, then there is communication, and even if the communication is good, I am afraid that after death is at most a temporary grief.
"Didi-Di-Di-"
However, just as Liszt was walking towards the front, there was a sound of car horns around him. He turned his head to look over, only to find a half-old sedan parked beside him, and as the window fell, a young black man was looking at him with a very bright smile, poking his head out and patting the door of the sedan under him, and cheering loudly: "Hey, Liszt, do you want to have a hitchhiker?" ”
"Gary, you're driving the vehicle that the customer sent for maintenance again, be careful that old Kyle gets angry and fires you!"
Seeing the young and cheerful black young man, Liszt couldn't help but feel helpless about this guy's heartlessness. But I also have to say that his mood also improved because of that bright smile, he walked over quickly and opened the co-pilot's door, he sat in, looked at this black young man named Gary pretending to be a chic driver, and couldn't help but laugh: "If you don't get scolded by old Kyle every month, you will be uncomfortable!" ”
However, this black young man was not worried, but turned up the volume in the stereo, accompanied by the old song, pretending to take his hands off the steering wheel and beat the beat, laughing and saying: "Our dear customer gave this scrapped car to the old Kyle guy, the news said that now the country's gasoline is limited supply, if you don't hurry up and drive more, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future!" ”
"Wait, you mean, there's a limited supply of gasoline? When did this happen? ”
Slightly stunned, Liszt seemed to have heard some joke, and just wanted to continue to joke with this black young man, but his face instantly stiffened. He suddenly remembered the major events of the radiation era in his previous life, 2060 is the time when the world's oil resources are depleted on a large scale, and the so-called national gasoline supply is indeed one of the omens!
