Chapter XXVII

The effect of the Super Therapy Needle was so powerful that Garcia was able to sit up soon after.

"Thank you so much.... We didn't expect that guy to run there. ”

Garcia covered his wound and muttered.

Jimmy leaned over and interjected.

"I heard you were injured at the police station?"

Garcia's lips moved, as if hesitating, before finally speaking.

"Actually... You listened to Davis, right? ”

Jimmy nodded.

Davis was also blown up, his ears were a little inaudible, he was slightly injured, and his head hurt terribly. I think he's crazy now, and he keeps saying that he must get revenge on the person who blew you up. ”

Garcia frowned.

"Davis.... The two of us went out together to salvage something, and by chance we found a strange factory that no one had found before, and it wasn't the police station in Dog City at all... He lied to you, the two of us were wandering around there, and we didn't know what was going on and ran into a minefield. Davis volunteered to say that he had defused the mine before, and it went wrong, and he ran so fast that I almost didn't die there. ”

Garcia told the story with resentment.

"None of the people who followed Reilly were normal people... Shit. ”

Something suddenly occurred to Jimmy.

"Hey, what do you think of the man who planted the mines, Jack?"

Garcia spat on the ground.

"Surely, can it be someone else? That mine-laying technique and those homemade explosives style, at a glance you know that it is Jack's bastard, bomb maniac Jack, this nickname is not a problem at all, that bastard..."

Andy listened in a daze.

"Hmm... Excuse me, but can you please explain to me a little bit what Reilly and his gang are? Also Who is Jack? Can you tell me a little bit about your origins? ”

Garcia and Jimmy looked at each other, and finally Garcia spoke.

"Actually, everyone doesn't like to mention this, but you saved my life and is my savior, since you want to know, I'll tell you everything... It happened four years ago. As you can see, the poor sick man in front of you didn't come to this hellish place of his own free will. ”

"All of us here are former convicts in Black Canyon Jail, and NCR told us that by participating in this project, we will not only get amnesty, but also make a fortune. Those who do not want to participate may be sent to more difficult places for labor reform, and most of them agree, in fact, they just want to empty the prison and let us be sent to death as cannon fodder. ”

Garcia said with deep resentment, although Andy had heard these things briefly from Potter, but he was not impatient.

"Almost 100 of us left Black Canyon Prison under the armed escort of dozens of soldiers and headed northeast, and some of us tried to resist and escape on the way, but all of them were killed. Later, when we were halfway there, we were attacked by some natives and monsters, and several of my fellow inmates died horribly... When they arrived in Dog City, there were only more than fifty people left. ”

Garcia had a grief-stricken look on his face, and Andy looked at Jimmy.

Jimmy nodded, "Humans are so fragile, and a few small bugs have killed several people along the way." ”

Hearing this, Garcia had a bit of an emotional outburst.

"Those bastard NCR soldiers didn't look at us like people at all, they used us as bait when they were already very dangerous!"

Chrissy couldn't help but want to retort when she heard this, but Andy quietly stopped her.

"So... So what happened to you guys after that? ”

Garcia leaned back in his chair as the effects of the morphine wore off, and his bandaged face began to glow.

"Ahh Damn, it hurts. Then we were organized by the soldiers to build the first old camp here. According to our original agreement with the NCR, each of us was responsible for retrieving a quota of high-value pre-war scrap and handing it over to NCR, so that NCR would pardon us if we met the standards. The surplus can also be exchanged with NCR for money, of course, at the price they set, but that is enough, we have no choice. ”

"Soon after that, several things happened... First of all, the dogs in Dog Town suddenly went crazy and started attacking our old camp like crazy, that old camp was under a viaduct, you don't know what those mad dogs looked like after they really went crazy, they even jumped off the viaduct and tried to attack us. So we had to flee from the old camp with our armor behind, and several more died on the way until we reached the new camp. ”

Andy heard this to solve a puzzle, no wonder many people here hate dogs, and he also has a guess about the second thing, which is probably related to NCR.

"The second thing, is the NCR withdrawn?"

Garcia nodded.

"Yes... The soldiers guarding us learned about it over the radio, and an unknown armed gang had destroyed their fort of Ashid, which meant that the NCR had retreated to the west, and the dog town we were in was suddenly an island, and the weak soldiers of the NCR immediately broke down and all ran away. ”

When Andy heard this, he finally came up with a thing that surprised him the most.

"Your guards have left, why don't you leave?"

Garcia smiled, his face full of helplessness.

"Leave? Where to leave? We're all felons, and if we get caught in New California, we're either shot or locked up in prison until we die, and if we go outside of New California, it's all a wild place that can't be compared to New California, and we'll never see our relatives in New California... Don't ask me what I'm guilty of, it's just a little bit of a conflict with NCR. Garcia turned his head, depressed from the pain in his body and the anxiety in his heart.

Seeing this, Jimmy beckoned Andy and Chrissy out of the hospital room and told Garcia to get some rest.

When the three of them reached the hallway, Jimmy stopped.

"I'll tell you the rest."

Jimmy reluctantly puts down the red-covered medical book Andy gave him.

"We have a mess of people here, and after the guards all escaped, we didn't think about simply becoming independent in Dog City or going somewhere else... For example, Reilly's gang, who are a group of vicious people who don't believe NCR can come back and admit their accounts, and some other guys who are simply mentally ill, such as Jack, who planted the bomb. ”

Jimmy glanced at Garcia's hospital room, and moaning could be faintly heard from inside.

"Jack, nicknamed Bomb Maniac or Bomb Maniac, is the most proficient player in us at playing with explosives, and I don't know what madness he has done, but I think someone went to the salvage area assigned to him and stole something that belongs to him... You know, at that time, in order to facilitate the calculation of everyone's salvage quota and the reasonable allocation of resources, the NCR guards divided the salvage area for all of us in the dog city, and others were not allowed to enter other people's places to salvage at will. Jack just suddenly felt that we were joining forces to deceive him, he always felt that his area was often searched, and finally left our camp despite the help of others. ”

Andy nodded, it seems that now the salvage of Dog City has split into three factions... That is, Potter's Diehards, Reilly's Independents, and Bombard's Jack.

"So, this is the first time you know where Jack is?"

Jimmy shook his head.

"It's not the first time someone has been injured .... We couldn't figure out what was going on, but Jack suddenly hated us so much that he threw explosives and injured people several times, and it seemed that now he was hiding in the unknown place where Garcia and Davis went, and Jack was now a complete scourge and a madman, and there was more than one such person. ”

Andy asked curiously.

"It's weird enough to have a bomb maniac out there, who else?"

Jimmy spits out a strange name.

"There's another one, called Dog Treasure."

Andy was a little surprised by the name.

"What do you call a dog? Is it a nickname or a personal name? ”

"Both."

Jimmy replied.

"That kid said he was raised by dogs, so he called himself Dog Bao, and he was also a madman."

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
