Chapter 34: The Old Camp

"Don't!"

Daniel struggled frantically.

"I must go and see my wife and children, they are waiting for me in New Canaan in the west, I can't be locked up again!"

Chrissy covered her ears on the side, and the guy screamed in horror.

"What a wife and children.... Shut up! ”

The sonic attack from the other party's indiscriminate shouting made Andy feel very tired, and the noise at this time made Andy have a headache.

The elevator door opened at this time, and several salvage men looked at Andy and Daniel's dispute and pointed at it.

While Andy was stunned, the oil on the soles of his feet disappeared from under Andy's arms like lightning.

Chrissy chases him out for a short time and comes back to inform Andy that the guy is gone.

Andy rubbed his head and only felt a headache, in fact, when he blocked Daniel, he didn't know what to do with him, after all, this trip he was to find the antidote to the new plague, and the matter of catching prisoners should be put aside first, and he ran away.... It's the same with catching it later.

"Are you saying that man is telling the truth?"

Chrissy didn't quite know what Andy meant, and it seemed to her that Andy had taken on some bounty task, but Andy let him slip away because of his relenting words.

But in fact, her speculation was wrong.

"He's lying."

Andy recalls the location information he saw when he set out from Tibbetts Prison, Daniel's early location was in a place called Ogden before the war, which was originally the west, and this guy is now in Denver, which means that he is not going to the west, but has just come from the west.

And that look like a lying face.

But I can't explain this to the other party.

"That's it, anyway, let's go to the old camp for a run first, and then set off directly to Boulder City."

The two of them stepped out of the elevator, descended from the ladder on the second floor to the first floor, and entered the Atomic Hummer, and the demon seemed to have regained some composure, and he started the car with one kick and drove past according to the map imprint marked on the Pip-Boy.

Cars are speeding through the dog town, some wild dogs are roaming around, these things have become a disaster in the city, and they are everywhere.

Several large dogs ran over and chased a large mouse.

The two didn't look too much, and the car continued to move forward, passing the front of a heavy truck that had overturned to the ground.

There were obvious signs of prying open on it, and the engine inside seemed to be missing.

"There's a lot of stuff here, and there's a lot of what's left in this car that can be recycled and replaced with other places, even the scraps of concrete will be removed to build improvised houses or fences."

Chrissy looked at the front of the truck with emotion, and the salvage workers had only removed the most valuable part.

"Because these wild dogs are living barriers."

Andy looked ahead, and after half an hour of driving, the intersection of the two roads had appeared in front of him, where the viaduct formed a huge roof that could be exploited, and according to Porter, their old camp was there.

The car was parked in the area of the bridge under the viaduct, and it was obvious that there were some old barriers left there, some of which were recycled broken iron sheets, and some of which were scrap cars piled up into walls, which can be found everywhere in Dog Town.

They enclosed a camp under the bridge.

Andy opened the door and unleashed the demon, which stood its fur up and roared into the camp, where it was clear that it was now supposed to be a kennel.

A few fearsome wild dogs roamed out of the abandoned camp, their mouths wide open and growling menacingly, keeping their guard in distant circles, and some simply making a wolf-like sound to summon.

"Let's do it."

Without giving the wild dogs a chance to gather their kind again, Andy took out his machete and rushed into the camp in three steps and two steps.

The wild dogs, with their lead-gray leather-like skin, immediately rushed towards him, swooping down on him, drooling teeth biting at his face.

The machete flew up and down like a silver flash, sometimes slapping the wild dog away, sometimes slashing off the dog's head.

When the three wild dogs died tragically, the other two turned around and fled, and one of them did not have time to slip away, and was thrown to the ground by the demon and his throat was cred.

Chrissy walked slowly into the old camp, which was a mess.

"They set it up pretty well, it turns out that those cars were pulled by cranes."

Andy looked over and saw a yellow construction machine parked in the corner, which was supposed to be recovered by the salvage crews for dragging heavy objects.

There are a few shacks scattered around the camp, which don't look too sheltered from the elements, and given that the viaduct overhead is a natural roof, that's fine, but it's just a lack of light.

"I was in a hurry."

Chrissy saw a table of food and furnishings around it, which remained largely the same, with all sorts of messy debris and some bullet holes filling the surroundings, and there were many bones left nearby, dogs and people.

Looking at the human bones, the two of them were a little silent for a while, the flesh and blood of this corpse were gnawed away, every inch of the bone was covered with tooth marks, some limbs were missing, and even the skull disappeared without a trace. Judging from the signs of struggle around him, he was pounced on by the dogs while he was still alive and then bitten to death.

"Poor."

Chrissy crouched down and looked at the skeleton.

"First the flesh was torn, then the internal organs were hollowed out, and finally the limbs were torn, and even the head was taken away..."

Andy stared at the finger bones of the corpse, and there were grooves in the ground, grooves that had been dug out alive.

Shocking sensations.

"Forget it... Let's hurry up and find the generator, those wild dogs were howling just now, maybe there will be dogs coming over again. ”

The two immediately searched around the camp and soon found a small generator abandoned in the camp.

With a little effort, the two of them moved the generator into the trunk, found a few more boxes full of high-value scrap parts that had been collected and disposed of, and finally took everything they could. "Let's go."

The car door was closed, and the two of them and a dog got into the car again.

"What do you think of these salvagers?"

Andy asked as he drove.

"Most of them are just poor normal people, but there are quite a few heinous guys.... The NCR has always been under tight manpower, and our first Eastern troops had only one battalion in total. After arriving here, he fought against the tribesmen, marauders, wasteland monsters, Caesar's legions, and the Brotherhood of Steel, and it was inevitable that some laws would be ignored in this high-pressure state. ”

Chrissy is still on the NCR's side.

"If it's on home soil... Or at least if the situation calms down, the mistreatment of prisoners will certainly not happen easily. ”

Andy didn't believe it, he thought he had almost been beaten up several times in Black Canyon Prison, could those guys have behaved differently elsewhere?

"What does NCR do to limit the occurrence of those practices?"

Chrissy replied, "The law, the law clearly prohibits this kind of behavior, including the heinous torture of confessions. When we defeated the enclave, there were quite a few very ugly situations, although the enclave was hateful, but it was inhumane .... As a result, President Tandi later introduced a law on the protection of the human rights of prisoners, and even if the military and officials who violated it were not punished, they would be defeated by competitors, lose their careers, and lose their political lives. ”

Andy was a little hard to believe.

"But sometimes the need for torture is unavoidable, what do you do? Is that a stalemate? ”

Chrissy looked out the window solemnly.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive, sometimes we need to find some powerful external experts, that's not our problem, but that's very rare.... Like the mass torture carried out by the group of salvagers... Or rather, sadism, which is largely unseen in NCR because of this law. ”

"While a lot of people are debating whether this has led to the problem of ineffective crime fighting... But President Tanti's legacy is big enough that I think it's the key to the difference between us and the natives, to determine who is civilized, and to make the NCR so attractive to its surroundings just because it exists. ”

Andy shook his head.

"But you're making a mess out there, aren't you?"

Chrissy was silent for a moment.

"Theory has always failed to keep pace with practice.... I think NCR needs more time to think about how it should relate to the outside world, and in my opinion, the hasty eastward movement to deflect conflicts is a complete joke. ”

The two of them suddenly fell silent in unison, because not far away, a team of guys suspected to be NCR soldiers appeared.
