Chapter 164: The General's Daily Life
Nora didn't know how to answer the child's questions.
In the past five years, she has not mobilized her connections to find An Jie's whereabouts, but every time she has returned in vain, there is no news.
At first, Nora thinks Angel is dead!
It's myself who has been comforting myself......
But it wasn't until she sent someone to Far Harbor Island, Maine, to bring back Anjie's things,
There's only one thing missing, a metal prosthetic!
Even if a nuclear bomb destroys the human body! But the metal prosthetic should be able to find the wreckage, but the academy cast prosthetic was not found at the scene! Since then, Nora has firmly established the idea that Anjie is not dead.
It's like being in the Glowing Sea, but it just takes a little time to get back.
"Maybe when you grow up, your father will come back to you~"
Nora smiled wryly and touched the child's head.
Then he took their little hands and walked directly out of the valuables storage room, and locked the door, although no volunteer would dare to enter.
But there must be precautions.
For this explanation, both Casey and John felt that it was perfunctory,
"Mom, haven't you been looking for it?"
John asked reluctantly.
"Of course I looked, I asked Nick to spread the missing person notice outside the Federation, but two or three years have passed and there is still no news,"
"Maybe your father is healing in an inaccessible place."
Nora explained as she walked.
The federation is full of her people, as long as An Jie appears in the place where people have been active, someone will immediately come to report and receive the reward.
But outside the Federation is not her territory,
I can't care about the outside world.
"Uncle Nick? Mom, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go to Diamond City, okay? ”
Casey immediately asked when she heard Nick's name.
They've seen this synth detective before, but not much,
It was one of the few friends my mother had in the Federation.
And Nick likes children, and every time he sees two little ones, he will give them candy,
Needless to say, the allure of candy is for children, so they have a lot of affection for Nick, the synth.
"Is it tomorrow's weekend? Time flies. ”
"Okay, but I'm not allowed to go without homework anymore, or I'll all stay at the castle for the rest of the weekend."
Nora did not refuse John's proposal,
It's normal for children to want to play, and there's hardly any child who doesn't like to play.
Even she loved to play as much as she was a child.
But there must be rewards and punishments, and she can understand that she doesn't do her homework this time.
But if this is to happen in the future, Nora will have to take a certain punishment.
"We promise!"
Casey and John looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Obviously, the two little ones also have their own secrets in their hearts......
After dinner, the children went back to their rooms and went to bed early, and after Nora made sure that they were asleep, she walked around the castle for a while.
Then dragged the tired body back to the barracks,
Sit back down at your desk, pick up your pencil, turn on the lamp and get back to work.
She would often work late into the night to go to sleep,
The reports sent every day need to be handled personally, maybe people just have to be a little busy.
I don't have free time to think about bad things.
But in fact, reading various reports makes her even more upset...... Fighting poison with poison is also a way~
"Anyone planning to build a new gathering place at the Starlight Rest Stop? I think it wasn't a good place for growing crops......"
Nora thought for a moment and then wrote down her thoughts.
It was an open area, and it was also close to the town of Lexington.
There are also many gangsters entrenched there.
Since Boston was occupied by the Volunteers, a large number of gangsters fled to the towns on the other side of the river to form alliances.
Forming a force to be reckoned with, the volunteers want to uproot the bandits,
In fact, it was not as difficult as imagined, and the situation was one-sided when the army pressed the border.
Knock knock~
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the barracks.
"Come in, is it Preston?"
Nora didn't look up at the next report.
Squeak~
A black man wearing a trench coat and a weapon on his back walked into the barracks and said:
"General, are you going to stay up late again?"
"It's like this every day, and sometimes I really feel like it's all the people outside!"
"You see, this is moving, the volunteers sent five people to help, this is the house, we sent ten more people!"
"Except for two reports of mutant creature attacks, that's all of it!"
Nora frowned and slammed the table.
The green tendons on his fists burst out, do you really regard the volunteers as volunteers?
Their original norm was to protect the lives of civilians in the Federation.
And now? Hehe......
The main reason is that most of the soldiers of the volunteers come from various gathering places, maybe the son of a certain farmer is the squad leader or something.
It's not impossible to go home and do a favor, but the dispatch of volunteers is something to record.
Report after report was sent to her, and Nora had to read it if she didn't want to......
"It's your responsibility, General."
"However, I heard that Lexington has some foreign gangsters joining, and we should get rid of this gangster alliance."
Preston shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
In five years, he hasn't changed much, but he has to say that there have been changes.
That was a little haggard, and as a unique colonel of the Volunteers, he often went to the front to fight with his brothers.
"Don't worry, let them be chic for a while."
"I want these outsiders to know that they can't come anywhere!"
Nora replied nonchalantly.
Lexington's bandits were deliberately caused by her, and when they felt that they could do it and could fight the Minutemen head-on,
Wipe it out in one fell swoop, and the gangsters basically don't have many good weapons in their hands.
"Also, Piper's side is planning to expand the newspaper office and wants to invite you to participate,"
"and Vault 81, which intends to sell their various non-radiation-free crops exclusively to the Volunteers Procurement Department, but at a higher price than from other farms......"
Preston then said something,
But it's all a small matter within the scope of Diamond City, Nora thought about it, Piper can go there,
But the crops in Vault 81 ......
Although there is no radiation hazard, their crops are twice as expensive as ordinary ones!
The Volunteers now have nearly a thousand troops! That's not a small amount!
"You just got back from Diamond City? Okay then, I'll go to Piper's side. ”
"But Vault 81, try to keep the price as low as possible, and I also hope that the soldiers can eat well, but the financial expenditure is also a problem......"
Nora rubbed her temples and thought about it.
The way the Volunteers make money is to earn money like protection money.
However, the fees charged are not high, and the monthly income is only less than 100,000 yuan, but there is not much left after excluding some materials that should be bought.
"Okay, General, then I'll leave first, you pay more attention to rest."
"Otherwise, Dr. Curie will have to run and chant again~"
