Chapter 30: Reilly
When Andy went to look for Potter, he suddenly noticed that there were a lot more people there.
Some men with shocking scars and fierce faces began to appear nearby, and their temperament was very different from that of Potter's group before them.
Just as he was watching, a strange guy came up to Andy.
"Yo, new faces?"
The guy in front of him has a strange expression on his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and his hairstyle resembles three long hairs, which makes people feel that this person is very unreliable.
"Someone would come to us..."
He glanced at Chrissy and smiled smirked.
"Oh, is this woman your slave? You know what? I used to be a slave trader, and I had several female slaves under my hands, and every day I changed them..."
Chrissy had already touched her gun, but Jimmy stepped forward.
"Fuck off, Danner, you idiot don't always go around provoking people, that would not only make you look like a fool, but also be a complete death!"
Danner watched as Jimmy took two steps back, gave a nonchalant sneer, and turned away.
Jimmy looked at the bastard's back and cursed twice, then turned back to Andy to explain.
"Ignore that guy, that idiot named Danner used to be a gangster, and he didn't know what was wrong with his brain, and he tried to provoke people all day long, and he had fun doing it, and he didn't remember long after several beatings...."
Andy said I was almost going to give him a beating.
"So that guy is Reilly's guy, right?"
"That's right."
Jimmy looked around at a few new faces.
"No, these Riley's people don't usually come here, I've always been worried about one thing... Or maybe we're all worried about it, and hopefully it's not him who wants to dominate everyone here. ”
The group made their way to the house where Potter lived.
A man with parted hair and a hairstyle that looks like it's been carefully groomed looks at Andy from the corner, and when Andy looks at him in turn, he hides, and when Andy doesn't look at him, he starts to spy again.
"What's the matter with that kid?"
Andy asked Jimmy with a frown, this feeling of being peeped at was very unpleasant.
"The man's name is Morgan, and he's from Reilly, and I've heard that he killed the NCR jailer when he escaped from prison before... It's a black-hearted ruthless, no one knows what these people are thinking, just stay away from them. ”
Jimmy glanced back and walked briskly into the large workshop where Potter and his gang lived.
As soon as I entered the house, I found that the water here was blocked.
The people in the room were basically divided into two groups, one was Potter's group, and the other was led by a stranger that Andy had never met, who was wearing sunglasses and had a visible scar on his face.
Among them, there are more people on Potter's side than on the man in sunglasses.
"Potter, why aren't you willing to listen to my advice?"
The man in the sunglasses, wearing a leather jacket, stood on the same level as Potter and spoke loudly, his arms outstretched like a speaker.
"Brothers, how long have we been here? It's been four years, and the NCR won't come back to talk to us, they've long forgotten about the agreement they signed with us, they're hiding in the Hoover Dam, they're hiding in the desert farther west, or they're going back to New California.... In short, the NCR will never come back to fulfill their promise, and there is no point in us continuing to work here every day to collect and salvage pre-war relics, you know what we should do? We should get out of here, build our own settlement, and never have any more communication with those bastards NCR! ”
Jimmy whispered to Andy.
"The one who is talking is Reilly, the representative of the other faction of our group, who has always been at odds with Potter.... But he doesn't have enough supporters, and he's not as just as fair as Porter. ”
Andy nodded and continued to watch as Reilly preached his ideas there.
All in all, this man wants everyone to unite under his command and leave Dog City to find another way to survive after pooling all the resources.
But the faces of the people on Potter's side were clearly not very convinced.
Reilly saw this, too, and took off his sunglasses to reveal a gloomy face.
A quiet man smoking a cigarette who had been sitting behind him suddenly stood up, carrying a machete in his hand, and his face was covered with scars that looked like they had been burned by chemicals.
Jimmy whispered to Andy again.
"That's Harding, Reilly's second-in-command, a madman who doesn't care at all what happens to the others.... Reilly told him to hurt whoever he wanted, and I guess if Reilly dared to say that he wouldn't leave Dog City, he would even cut Reilly. ”
Reilly calmed Harding and asked him to sit down, and then he looked at the people on Potter's side one by one.
"Clay, do you still want to stay here?"
Clay, who was sitting in the corner, did not expect to be named by Reilly, but there was no big reaction, and the withdrawn young man responded to Reilly's inquiry with a blank face.
"Of course, I was a jobless vagrant before I came here, and I didn't want to leave when I finally had such a big opportunity to make money."
Reilly didn't say much, just nodded towards the clay.
He rolled his gaze to look at the other person.
"Marshall, didn't you say you don't trust people?"
Andy heard the familiar name, and sure enough, he saw Marshall, who was the first salvage to meet him, wearing a fireman's helmet.
He still looked so haggard and serious.
"Reilly... I certainly don't believe in NCR, and to be honest, I don't believe Potter can really make everything perfect, but there's only one thing that stands up for me on my side right now, and that's that I think you're an idiot! ”
Marshall ignored the ferocious gaze of Reilly's gang and said his feelings bluntly.
Reilly sneered, stopping Harding once again who wanted to do it. "You're so unpleasant... Well, it looks like you won't live long, I'm a generous person, and I don't have the same knowledge as you. ”
He looked around at the others and named a few more names.
"Jimmy, Mosgel, Michael, Jim.... What do you guys think? ”
Jimmy scratched his belly and replied in a rude voice, "Reilly, I just don't want everyone to bleed because of the infighting, Dog City may be very bad, but at least there's a little hope for everyone to stay here.... I don't care what happens, but there are still a lot of people here who are content to stay here and not force the scene to be ugly. ”
Several people echo Jimmy's words, and Andy discovers that they are all white-bearded old men, and they all seem to be people who want things to not get worse.
Reilly chuckled twice as he looked at Jim, pointing his finger at everyone.
"You guys.... You still have unrealistic illusions about the NCR, which will be finished when the Fortress of Arashid falls! They deserve to be like this, because of their perverse behavior, their corruption... You think NCR is going to make you rich, but no, they can't give you that chance! You, and so are we, all outcasts! ”
He beckoned to the back, and a tall, stocky man came to Reilly with a wooden box and placed it on the ground for him to use as a podium.
Andy clearly saw that the person was the sluggish old Joe who was suspected of attacking Chrissy at night.
He noticed Andy's gaze, and a smile of insignificance appeared on his face.
Andy frowned and looked at the bastard, thinking that sooner or later this guy would have to pay a price, it seemed that it wasn't enough to beat him that night, at least a few teeth had to be knocked out.
Reilly stood on top of the wooden box and watched as everyone loudly announced the bombshell news he had prepared.
"A lot of people tell me that they're willing to settle for what happens, they're willing to settle for the status quo, they're willing to continue to take unrealistic chances, and at the end of the day, you're not willing to let go of that illusory promise of wealth. I understand you, so I recently found a new clue, aren't you worried about leaving Dog City completely out of NCR's control, penniless and nowhere to go? Aren't you just worried that you won't be able to get rich if you don't have money? It doesn't matter, I have a way to make you rich, as long as you are willing to join me, then I can share the information with you... Regarding a treasure I found, there is a golden refuge in Dog City! ”
