Chapter Twenty-Five: Fright Night
Old Joe, who looked very friendly, was chatting there.
From the first glance, this is an interesting and good person.
After a while, the sluggish old Joe left.
Andy thought that it didn't look like the others were so difficult to get along with, but when he turned his head, he saw that the people on Potter's side were silently staring at the sluggish old Joe who was leaving, and the expression on his face was full of jealousy.
He chuckled inwardly.
Potter didn't say much else.
"It's getting late, I'll tell you tomorrow what I want you to do, huh..... You will stay here today, and I will arrange a place for you to sleep quietly, what do you think? ”
Andy also felt extremely tired after driving all day, so he quickly got off the donkey.
"Thank you so much."
Potter's gaze shifted to Chrissy.
"Clay!"
He shouted, and a somewhat taciturn man stood up and walked over to Potter.
"You go and call Jimmy."
The salvage man named Clay immediately ran out.
After a while, Clay walked over with a man, and Andy was surprised to see that it was actually a brown-skinned super mutant.
"Let me introduce you to Jimmy, our doctor."
Potter said to Andy.
The super mutant looked at Andy and Chrissy calmly, and although they looked rather hideous, they looked normal.
"Hello."
Jimmy and Andy said hello.
Potter was quick to explain the reason for calling Jimmy over.
"Andy, you've noticed, we're a mixed bag, so I can't guarantee what happens to the newcomers at first, Jimmy can keep you safe, at least tonight.... He's a super mutant despite himself, but at least he's very safe in some ways. ”
When he said the word "safe," he glanced at Chrissy.
"Well, do you need him to protect you for the night?"
Andy looked at Chriss, and there was a look of disdain on her face, this self-reliant and independent woman didn't like to be treated like this, and she was confident to solve all problems.
Seeing Chrissy's attitude, Andy shook his head at Potter and thanked Jimmy.
"No, we can take care of ourselves."
Potter didn't insist, motioning for Jimmy to go back and telling Clay to lead the way for Andy and the others.
Clay then led them down to the next floor and found a small room that was okay.
"You can sleep here tonight, and you can rest here in the future, this room is unused, and the state is okay."
Clay said a few words dryly, then turned away, and it could be seen that he didn't have much to communicate with.
The two of them lay on the improvised sleeping bag on the floor, and Andy was about to fall asleep almost immediately, but he found that Chrissy was not lying down but leaning on the side.
"Aren't you sleeping, Chrissy?"
Chrissy shook her head.
"Forget, I have chronic insomnia, most of the time you're halfway asleep before I fall asleep.... When you see me closing my eyes, I'm just pretending to be asleep. ”
Chrissy leaned there motionless, and Andy couldn't help her.
Tiredness came over him, and in just a moment Andy lost consciousness.
In the dream.... I dreamed that a pack of wild dogs was frantically pounceing on him, he killed one and ten, endlessly, no matter where he ran there would be countless wild dogs chasing him....
Just as he was frowning and running wildly in his dream, an exclamation suddenly came.
Andy sat up as soon as he opened his eyes, and turned his head to see that Chrissy was pushed to the ground by a large man.
"Get out of here!"
He rushed over, his arms exerting force, and threw the big man aside.
The mystery man seemed a little annoyed by Andy's interference, and stopped attacking Chrissy and waved his fist at Andy, but this was a slab for Andy, and after a violent and brief fight, the mystery man was beaten to the point of delirium, and rolled on the ground twice before standing up.
"Hmm..."
The man muttered two words with his face covered, and ran away without looking back.
Chrissy coughed and got up, with obvious signs of pinching on her neck.
"Damn.... I just fell asleep, ahem... Otherwise, I'd have shot him twenty times in the crotch. ”
Andy checked her status and confirmed that nothing was wrong.
"What's going on... Who is that guy? ”
Chrissy looked out at the empty hallway in horror.
"I don't see it clearly, but don't you think that person's physique is familiar?"
The two of them immediately thought of the sluggish old Joe.
"Is that the guy? I can't believe it, that guy looks so friendly. ”
Andy recalls the strange attitude of Potter's group towards Slow Old Joe, and basically thinks that it is that guy.
"Knowing people and knowing faces.... Who knows who he is, we're just here, be careful... It turns out that this is the reason why Potter asked us if we want Jimmy's protection, his so-called security means that there are not many super mutants, right? ”
Chrissy found the question a little funny.
"I really don't know if there are super mutants, but even if they do, they have to find the same kind, they don't match at all."
The two were on guard for a while, and there were no more problems, and finally Andy fell asleep again, but Chrissy couldn't sleep this time, and it is estimated that her dark circles will get worse again.
This extraordinary night passed quickly......
Early in the morning, Jimmy arrives at Andy's place.
"How were you doing last night?"
The super mutant wears a tattered homemade oversized suit and carries what appears to be a medical kit.
"This... I can't really say it's good. ”
Andy touched his face, that guy didn't show any signs of sluggishness when he fought him yesterday.... If this was all his disguise, it would be a terrible thing. Jimmy tugged at the strap of the medical kit that didn't fit well, and Andy noticed that the guy was dirty, and the skin of the super mutant was extremely rough, and it looked almost unsightly.
"So, if I had been here, no one would have dared to come over last night... Some people look like good guys, but they're actually disgusting guys. ”
Jimmy doesn't say who he's talking about, and quickly changes the subject.
"If you're both sober, Potter told me maybe you could help, and if you didn't mind, maybe you could come with me."
Andy didn't have a problem with this, so he called Chrissy and walked out.
They came to a small separate room in which a man lay down.
The man was moaning incessantly, and Andy heard it before he even went in, and when he entered, he found that it was quite normal, because the man lying on the bed was miserable all over.
"Ahh It hurts.... Ahh
He said this indistinctly with his mouth open, and seemed to have lost part of his consciousness, only repeating the moans as if he were in a dream.
Chrissy looked at the man's black-and-red burns and massive wounds and came to a conclusion.
"This man was injured by the explosion, right?"
Jimmy nodded.
"Yes, his name is Garcia, and he went to the police station in Dog City with another person, trying to go in and get some good stuff, and he met a madman, and the man was blown up and had a headache, and this man was already like this when he was sent back.... My skills are average, I don't know how to heal such a serious injury, humans are still too fragile, if I suffer this kind of injury, I just need to sleep for a day or two. ”
Andy glanced at Jimmy's beast-like size, and thought to himself, of course, humans can't compare with your monster-level physique, when Blackjack was poured countless bullets by bounty hunters, he was stunned to be able to escape all the way into the depths of Mesa Verde, until Andy intervened, ordinary people don't have this ability.
Without further thought, he went up and examined the patient.
The man named Garcia was already in a semi-coma, probably suffering from a high fever from the burns all over his body, and the wound was even more speechless to tell the others how terrible the explosion had been.
"It looks like the treatment needles are enough to save it."
Andy touched his chin and thought about how to drag this patient back from the line of life and death, generally speaking, as long as there are treatment needles and the patient is not missing arms and legs, and the internal organs are crushed, they can be quickly saved, but this Garcia's injury is no longer at the level of ordinary speaking.
