Chapter 62: The Black Cross

"Washington, D.C. hasn't rained for 200 years."

The person who said this was a middle-aged man in his mid-forties, who looked like he hadn't shaved in a while, and the thick stubble on his chin already had some length. Although he looked a little raunchy and malnourished, he had an elegant temperament, and his eyes revealed a calm and calm demeanor, which made people can't help but believe what he said.

"Since the end of the Great War, not a drop of rain has ever fallen from the sky here."

Standing beside him was a young man with blond hair, who looked tired, and when he heard his father say this, he turned his head sideways and sighed without a trace. The two of them stood at the door of a dilapidated garage, trying their best to stretch their bodies in the breeze, after all, they had been lying in the virtual warehouse for a long time.

Four days ago, Adam finally entered Vault 112, the entrance hidden in a dilapidated garage, where he deduced that his father had come to find GECK's whereabouts. In this new but uninhabited underground shelter, Adam discovers a virtual reality machine that allows people to enter an alternate realm of the unreal.

Adam linked his consciousness to the world, and found it to be a peaceful but eternal world, a small town, where he found the incarnation of Dr. Brownie, who was on the verge of madness, and whose mind had been twisted and who could only find a little pleasure in the pain of others. Dr. Bronny orders Adam to torture the other residents in order to gain his own pleasure, but the young man firmly refuses, and finds the code to access the backstage control in an abandoned house, forcibly breaking the illusion and freeing his father, James.

The father and son reunited after a long absence, and Adam had a thousand words in his stomach that he wanted to ask his father, but James was bent on restarting the water purification meter, and the two said as they walked, James asked his son to be a little more restless, and asked him what he had done during this time. Little by little, Adam began to talk about the people and things he had encountered during this time, and James listened quietly, and finally he patted Adam on the shoulder.

"Son, you've grown up."

Just a sentence, Adam's tears poured out all of a sudden, and the hardships and grievances of this adventurous day broke out all at once, but fortunately he was much stronger now, and he didn't make a sound, he just turned his back a little hurriedly, and wiped his tears with the action of looking for something from his backpack.

Adam's backpack was filled with a large pile of dry food and canned food, and the two of them used what they found in the garage to set up a shelf, and began to eat hot canned food at the door of the garage, James was trapped in the illusion for months, although the life support system had been injecting him with nutrient solutions, but the human body's own digestive organs were almost unbearable. I used to fill my stomach with some bread and other things, but now I have the energy to eat something nutritious. Adam has a good habit of thrift and thrift along the way, relying on the medical knowledge he learned from his father, and trying to cut some edible parts from the various monsters he killed and stored, and now it is also dazzling to look at.

James was holding an iron chisel in his hand, and he was roasting a string of quagmire crab meat, and the tender white mugmire crab muscle fibers gradually burned and curled up under the flame, exuding an attractive fragrance.

After only a few bites, the two of them heard the four-bladed propeller of the Bird Helicopter whistling at the same time, and in the distance, a Bird Helicopter was flying towards them. The massive Asuka helicopter has two wings with a four-bladed propeller on each wing that can be angled, a laser Gatling gun mounted on the nose, and missile launchers hanging from the sides of the fuselage. Compared to this flying machine, the father and son are as weak as mice in front of a fierce dog.

"Not good...... This is the Enclave's flying machine...... Adam! Evacuate the underground of the shelter!! ”

James was well-informed, recognized the origin of the plane at a glance, and hurriedly dropped the meat skewers in his hand and pulled Adam to run into the abandoned garage. Adam ran a few steps when he heard a voice shouting at him from an electronic horn on the plane:

[Adam—it's me!] I brought what you're looking for—]

"No...... Father, I know this voice...... This is not the Enclave, this is my friend! ”

The two raised their heads, and the Flying Bird helicopter landed in the shade of the sky, and a young man with long black hair stood at the open hatch, under the belly of the aircraft, the triangular landing gear different from that of a normal helicopter was being lowered, and there was an extra training wheel in front to support the ground.

At Su Jing's warm invitation, the father and son boarded the helicopter suspiciously, and in addition to Su Jing, there was a white man and a black man in the cabin, both of whom were carrying laser rifles and wearing collars around their necks.

Adam casually glanced at the cockpit and nearly fell out of his seat.

"Super ...... Super mutants?! ”

Fox, who was in the driver's seat, chuckled and gave a thumbs up to the passenger behind him.

"Don't be afraid, lad, this is our Black Cross' chief driver, Mr. Fox. He's not your average super mutant, and once you've seen Mr. Fawkes' skills, you'll know why we respect him so much. The black man chuckled when he saw Adam's embarrassment.

"Hmph, the first time you saw him, didn't you also shoot him as soon as you raised your gun?" The middle-aged white man sitting in front of him sneered.

"Don't you dismantle my line? Jeblis. The black man rolled his eyes.

James kept frowning and observing the collars around the necks of these two people, and then he said to Su Jing solemnly:

"Sir, although I don't know how you met my son, could you please explain...... What's going on with this circle? I've seen this stuff on some slaves who have been caught, and this ...... It's clearly against the will of these two gentlemen, right? ”

Su Jing beckoned, Eulogy knowingly handed over a large package, Su Jing showed a smile and said:

"Well, I haven't told you about it yet. This one was Mr. Euroki, the former leader of Lost Paradise, who had been in the largest slave business in the wasteland, but when I came to the door, explained to him the pros and cons, and explained to him the plan of the water purification plan, he was immediately moved by this idea, and abandoned the light and turned to the dark...... Uh, abandon the darkness and lead the entire staff of Lost Heaven to join the Black Cross under my command; And Mr. Jebris, the former commander of the Eagle Claw Company, also joined our camp under my sincere persuasion...... Mr. James, do you see, there are still good people in this wasteland? How touching it is for everyone to get together and work hard for the same goal...... This collar, you ask? Oh, it's a little bit of a small measure to make our cooperation go more smoothly...... Besides, isn't this collar quite handsome? Who has grievances? Whoever has grievances can speak out, I am a person known for my democracy and benevolence. ”

James was silent, and then he whispered, "Sir, I don't want anyone to participate in the water purification plan for their own benefit. The beneficiaries of this project will be all the people in the wasteland, not ...... A certain group of people. ”

"Don't worry. Mr. James...... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, you can call me Su Jing. How can I show my sincerity in the water purification plan......? Oh, I heard Adam last time say, you're looking for this little thing, aren't you? ”

Su Jing opened the package in front of him, and inside the canvas bag, the metal cube emitted a mysterious brilliance, and it seemed that ripples of energy could be seen flowing through the lines on its surface. James' eyes were immediately attracted to the cube, and he reached out with a trembling hand, gently caressing the lines on the surface of the cube, his lips squirming slightly.

"The Garden of Eden Creator...... That's what it is...... Garden of Eden Creator ......"

Suddenly seeing the treasure he had been pursuing for half his life was placed in front of him like this, even with James's city mansion, he couldn't help but lose his temper, and his stroking movements were so gentle that he was afraid of breaking this thing, although he knew better than anyone present that with the material of this alloy, even if this helicopter exploded on the spot, it would not damage this GECK......

Adam cast a grateful look, and Su Jing nodded slightly.

"Mr. James, you don't have to touch it like this, the ownership of this Eden Creator is already in your hands, and when you get to the Jefferson Memorial, you can touch it slowly, even if you want to lick it." Su Jing closed the canvas bag again, and then glanced at the scene outside the porthole, "Our people have already cleaned the Jefferson Memorial, the water purification plan has been suspended for twenty years, and it has become a nest of super mutants...... Uh, Fawkes, turn your head back, I didn't say you...... I mean, with your intelligence and talent, the name Super Mutant is no longer for you, and I'm going to name your race now - uh - Ultimate Mutant!! The Radiant Knights of the Black Cross, the ultimate mutant Fawkes! I now order you to turn your gaze back to the road, and if we crash into the mountain, I'll kill you!! ”

James took a few deep breaths, he held Su Jing's hand hard, and said sincerely, "Mr. Su Jing...... I personally don't have the power to repay your efforts, but the entire world will remember your contribution to the wasteland...... You are an amazing person. ”

"My pleasure." Su Jing replied.
