In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. During this time, everyone had a miserable time. Potter sat motionless in his cell, and he explained to his companions several times that he regretted taking them to do so, and that if he had refused Harding at the time, maybe things wouldn't have come to this point, and it was a question of whether they would be able to get out of Black Canyon Prison alive now.

The other workers did not blame him, for it was Harding who had come up with the plan, and there was no other possibility in the circumstances.

During this period of time, the most talked about is who leaked the news.

"It's the 308 engineering team, and there are ghosts in Harding's gang." A worker in prison uniform said this, and this is also the opinion of everyone.

"All of us participated, no one didn't see us, I don't know if they were like that, if someone betrayed us, they wouldn't be locked up with us, don't you think?"

"yes, yes."

"Those who can be locked up here together are good brothers, don't guess." Two jailers suddenly appeared outside the cell.

"Potter, come out." Potter looked up, and the others looked at Potter worriedly, all of them had been tortured to some extent, and although the interrogators were now almost convinced that they had nothing to say, the investigation into them was still ongoing due to the pressure of the fact that the vault had not been able to find out the whereabouts of the reason for the fact that they had not been able to find out.

Potter didn't say anything else, got up and walked out. Two jailers dragged him all the way to a small room, where they handcuffed him to a chair.

"Someone will come to see you in a moment, behave well." The jailer finished speaking and left. Potter sat there inexplicably, waiting for half an hour.

Just as he began to wonder if he had forgotten here, the door finally opened, and Potter looked up, and stayed there for a moment.

It should be said that she was a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes, fair skin, wearing a black women's suit with black stockings wrapped around her legs, a full chest, and a smile on her face.

The whole body is the focus of people's eyes....

"Do you remember me, Uncle Potter?" The woman sat in a chair in front of Potter. Potter looked at her strangely, staring at her face for a long time before he came up with a possibility from his memory.

"Loria?" The woman smiled and nodded.

"It's a shame that you haven't forgotten me after so many years, but my father has also missed you for so many years, and after hearing that you have suffered this incident, he has been in a hurry." Potter knew who the young woman's father was, and he had inadvertently saved a soldier years ago, only to hear that the man had risen to prominence, but he had never had the heart to go to the other man.

"My dad told me the story many times that one of their soldiers had suffered heavy losses in the battle with the marauders, and that he had been wounded and had fled all the way through the desert, almost being eaten by a coyote, but thankfully you were able to save him." Bo nodded, that time he was taking the 370 engineering team to repair the road on a whim, and accidentally saved the soldier.

The two talked for a while, but when it was talking, it was actually Loria who was there talking endlessly, and Potter was silent most of the time, and he thought a lot about it during the six months of imprisonment.

At present, these brothers who followed him all the way from New California to the eastern wilderness to make money not only did not make money, but could be locked up in prison for the rest of their lives, which was unacceptable to him.

Because of this, he has little interest in talking now. Loria sensed this, and her expression narrowed a little, and she began to speak to Potter seriously.

"So... Uncle Potter, it's almost time to catch up, I'm here to talk to you about some business. Loria pulled out a stack of papers from the briefcase next to her.

She showed the paper to Potter.

"I'm here to tell you three pieces of news, Uncle Potter, the first is the good news, that is, after my dad's operation, you have successfully joined the NcR Eastern Advisory Group as one of them, and have been released on bail. Yes, you have a special status from today onwards, and you even have a sort of colleague relationship with Dodge, the mayor of Hoover Dam, because he also has a spot on the advisory board. Potter looked at Loria in surprise.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Loria shook the piece of paper.

"A legal power of attorney, flawless, unquestionably true.... There's also proof of release from prison, and you can leave the cell today if you want, Uncle Potter, but it's just a false position, and it won't bring you any real gain. Potter looked at the papers in disbelief, he felt like he was dreaming, during his half-year imprisonment, there were rumors that NcR was going to shoot them all, and he didn't think that he would be free today.

"Your dad arranged it? How? Loria smiled and placed the paper in her briefcase.

"Actually... The world is more complex and simpler than most people think. Uncle Potter, you are actually quite popular in your hometown, this is natural political capital, and it only takes a little help to take an unimagined path, but unfortunately for a long time you seem to have only focused on contracting projects and investing in caravans... Ah, I almost forgot, there are two more pieces of news for you, Uncle Potter, and I'll tell you up front, it's not necessarily all good news here. Loria put away her smile and looked into Potter's eyes and said the terrible news that made him feel like he was about to go to hell.

"Uncle Potter, the caravan you invested in was suddenly attacked by the Brotherhood of Steel two months ago, and all of them died, and the caravan has gone bankrupt... Given that you are still carrying some debts, I am afraid that your life after you get out of prison will be difficult. ”

"What...."Potter's eyes darkened.

"How so?" Loria looked at the depressed Potter, but she didn't know anything about this matter, the caravan's share in the eastern region was already a bit of a competition with the Crimson caravan.... How exactly did the Brotherhood learn the details and launch the attack, this is probably not so simple.

"I'm sorry to tell you the sad news, but Uncle Potter, at least you're free. Do you want to get out of prison? I can do it right away. Potter shook his head bitterly, not to mention that he was not in debt and was unwilling to abandon his brothers who had been imprisoned because of him to leave the prison by himself, not to mention that now that he was a debtor, what was the point of getting out.

"I can't go, I won't leave until the workers of the 370 engineering team are released from prison." Loria gave a slight expression, and she took out a new document from her briefcase.

"I have one last piece of news here that might help you with all your troubles, Uncle Potter."
