Holt is a man who is good at everything, has ideas, ambitions, and is very bold, the only problem is that he is blinded by the desire for revenge, and he does not hesitate to take risks but ends up stealing chickens and rice, - Holt originally wanted to use Landis's suicide to re-lead the Resistance, but died under Helena's superb acting skills. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

According to common sense, Holt, who has lived for so many years, has never seen any storms, and he has every chance to realize that the other party's motives are impure before Helena takes the opportunity to approach him, but Holt wants to win too much, and he has lived in the wasteland for so many years, isn't it just this opportunity in front of him.

When the long-awaited opportunity finally came to him, Holt's attention was briefly distracted, all he could think about was that his plan had succeeded, at that moment, Holt's biggest mistake was to treat Helena as an ordinary weak woman, he saw that Helena did not carry any firearms with him, so he took it lightly, until Helena felt for the blade hidden in her hair, Holt realized that he had misread her.

But it was too late for Holt to react at this time, as a medical soldier in the "commando", Helena's understanding of the structure of the human body is absolutely needless to say, she can cut Holt's wrist in an instant with just a small blade, this is not to say how strong Helena is or how sharp the blade is, as long as it is aimed at the gap between the bones.

Helena, who had stabbed the enemy and was slapped by Lantis without shedding a single real tear, finally cried, - Holt was dead, but Helena's adoptive father could not get up from the pool of blood again, and the three scars on her face still existed, but this was more or less a consolation for Helena.

……

As soon as Holt died like this, the bandits and remnants of the resistance army that he gathered immediately disarmed and surrendered, these people were scattered and scattered, and there was no cohesion inside at all, basically whoever gave them a bite to eat, they would follow.

"These are all bandits who roamed the wasteland before," Bit said to Lantis, "and the Resistance who have taken refuge in Holt, and I fear ...... if they are taken in."

"It's okay, let them join the Resistance."

Rantis shook his head and rejected Bit's proposal to expel these people, and if being a bandit in the wasteland was just a profession to make a living, and the Resistance was not the same, in that case, it was better to take them under his command and let them fight for a slightly higher idea than to return to their old jobs and become bandits who constantly caused disturbances in the wasteland.

For example, to resist the attack of the new empire sweeping the world, according to the current situation, it is impossible for any force in the lawless land to be brought out alone to stop the new empire, and the only way to do this is to be like the bandits on the side of the black iron mine, everyone huddles together, so that they have a chance to survive this catastrophe.

Besides, the Resistance fighters who followed Lantis were stoned to death in the Dogtooth Canyon, and without the protection of the Resistance fighters, it would be difficult for the Oasis refugees to get to the Black Iron Mine, so for whatever reason, Landis had to take Holt's men.

"I know that many of you have become bandits just to survive, and I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that after you join the Resistance, your life will be more meaningful than before, of course, the meaning of life has to be pursued, and your stomach has to be full, these are not problems."

These words of Landis undoubtedly gave the bandits of the wasteland who had just surrendered a reason for peace of mind, as Landis said, the reason why these people chose to be robbers was simply because they would have something to eat when they were robbers, after all, not everyone was born to be a vicious person, and ordinary people who had nothing to pursue were always in the majority.

As for the "meaning of life" and the like, this is equivalent to another pursuit after having eaten a full stomach, and the robbers are now purely entertaining, and if they really had such a pursuit, they would not be robbers.

……

Gathering refugees, bandits, and the remnants of the Resistance, Lantis's team had reached the size of a thousand men, and made its way to the south, and since many of the vehicles in the team had been smashed in the Dogtooth Canyon, and many additional personnel had to be added afterwards, many people who did not have vehicles to ride had to walk.

As a result, the progress of the entire team suddenly slowed down, but fortunately, after the new empire cleared the wasteland, Holt and his men swept away all the bandits' lairs within a radius of hundreds of miles, and hoarded a considerable amount of food, which was a little alleviated the problems faced by Lantis in this regard.

There's a long way to go.

The army walked for many more days, looking at the surrounding scenery, everyone should have come to the hinterland of the lawless land, and the roadside was full of villages and towns destroyed by war, and it was thought that they had not escaped the clutches of the new empire not long ago.

Villages and towns have been destroyed, and the inhabitants do not know where they have fled, or if they have all been reduced to ashes along with them.

"It's a few days to the black iron mine."

The team paused to rest, and Caitlyn pointed her hand at the map that lay on the ground.

"The Pyrite Mine is here," Catelyn said to the others around her, "We're in this place at the moment, and at this rate, we'll be at the Pyrite Mine in five days at most." ”

"Five days, isn't it?"

Rantis touched his chin, his face looking a little haggard.

No way, Rantis changed from a role that didn't need to worry about anything before, to a role that carries thousands of lives on his shoulders at any time, and the transition in the middle is too hasty and too unexpected for him, in order to live up to Grady's expectations, Landis can only do his best to do everything well, and it is inevitable that he will be haggard.

"What's wrong?"

Turtledove thought that he would see Hannibal in five days, and in addition to those acquaintances in Mouse City, Turtledove was too late to be happy, how could he be as sad as Lantis.

"We may not have enough food," Lantis said in a deep voice, "I looked at the list of food reserves yesterday, and if we reduce it to a minimum from today, we can probably hold out for about three days." ”

It turned out that what worried Landis was the food problem, and the turtledove didn't know the high cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and said: "Isn't it just going to be hungry for two days, what's the big deal?" ”

"No, it's not as simple as being hungry for two days," Rantis shook his head, "If there were only a few of us in the team, we would be able to endure it even if it was a few more days, but if there were too many people, it would be troublesome, and there were bandits with bad deeds in it, and if there was no food to provide, these robbers who had only changed their temperament for a short time would have mutinied."
