Chapter 14: Jimmy's Story (13)

"So they met you on the road after that, right?"

Andy said as he ate the meaty hamburger steak in his hand.

"Yes...."

Jimmy's expression was still steeped in memories.

"Dr. Agnes is a nice person, she loves to keep a diary.... I later helped her treat the rash on her hand, so she showed me the diary and I knew what happened to them along the way. Since their departure from the Hoover Dam, the early days have been relatively smooth. But as they began to move eastward away from NCR-controlled areas, waves of bandits and natives appeared. ”

"Those graduate students suffered heavy casualties, the number of soldiers was too small to save them, and by the time we met, there were actually only 7 scientists left.... That's when they finally arrived in Boulder City. Eddie often delayed his journey on the road to take care of Helen's children, causing them to drive for nearly a month to reach their destination, and what Dr. Agnes said was actually said for Dr. Goddard, otherwise Eddie would have gone mad because of it. ”

Andy threw the wrapper away and clapped his hands.

"Oh... So you followed them to the Dome? ”

Jimmy shook his head.

"I saw, I saw the big dome, it was a huge structure, it seemed to be a huge white egg embedded in the mountain, it was on an extinct volcano north of Boulder City, and in that big crater was embedded this huge structure, and the people of the old world even cut a vertical plane out of the back of the mountain to facilitate the layout of pipelines and the drain of waste."

"But I can't get in... So I parted ways with them. ”

Andy, of course, was curious about why.

"So why is that? Do scientists think you're going to wreak havoc if you go in? ”

Jimmy touched his head.

"Some people do think that way about me, but the actual point is that the entrance to the dome is equipped with an automated quarantine device, and you have to be able to pass its inspection to enter the dome, and I don't know what this is for..... Anyway, the FEV in me was destined to make it impossible for me to pass, so I had to leave them and wander west. ”

Jimmy's face twitched as he recalled what had happened to him.

"I was wandering around the wasteland, I didn't know where I was going next, and I thought I might as well go back to Dog City, it made sense to live with the salvagemen, and I wasn't very good at finding food on my own, and I ran out of the food Dr. Goddard gave me and I was hungry again... You know, super mutants eat a lot of food, and they need meat. I even began to hallucinate from hunger, and sometimes I found myself unconsciously roaring like a beast. ”

"I've met a bunch of vicious psychopaths, probably a very organized... Like a nomadic tribe, somewhere between bandits and natives. ”

................

Hungry Jimmy wanders the wasteland, and for days he eats nothing but a mouse he caught.

"Gurg..... Not.... Roar! ”

Jimmy's hungry nerves tensed, and he walked forward with his eyes blurred, only to feel that the muscles of his whole body had become a burden to move forward.

"Meat .... Where is the meat? ”

A line of saliva flowed from his huge mouth, dripping down his body.

Just when he was in a trance, a line of memories came to him, it was what happened when he was trapped in the old man's house by the cold winter, he looked at the old man's corpse, driven by hunger, and was in a trance as he is now. After being attacked by instinct again and again, Jimmy finally lost consciousness completely, and by the time he woke up, the scene was already a mess.

The bodies were gone, and only some "dross" remained in place.

He has almost no memory of that time, and the only remaining impression is....

"It's so delicious...."

Jimmy muttered, breaking free from his hallucinations, and suddenly found himself in front of a mutilated corpse.

He looked at the corpse on the ground in disbelief, barely believing his eyes, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pounced on it, but the corpse disappeared all at once.

"Who?!"

Jimmy's blood-red eyes raised his head and roared, only to find himself surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Woohoo! It's scary, look at his big guy. ”

"He's going crazy with hunger!"

"I haven't eaten a super mutant.... It's better to kill him, cut his large tendon meat finely, make it into jerky and eat it slowly. ”

"Hahaha! Ignorant idiot, let me tell you we ate a lot of super mutants when we were in the West, guess what? The meat is as hard as a stone, you can't swallow it even if your teeth are broken, and it's unpalatable! What do you think super mutants will be? I tell you, you can't eat it at all! ”

Jimmy looked up and saw a dirty bunch of crazy people, dressed in all sorts of inferior clothes and holding everything from crossbows to automatic rifles and even spears.

Everyone, male or female, has tight muscles, eyes shining, and their temperament is like a pack of hungry wolves. Everyone's hair was very long, some even dragged down to their buttocks, they looked like they were deliberately untrimmed, and the hair was oily.

A vicious tattoo on the head of a wolf was revealed on the body of many people.

A tall, athletic man at the head had narrow eyes and a grim face, like a human wolf, his long hair tied up with strips of white cloth hanging down from his back to his knees, and he was grinning at Jimmy, making a strange grunt in his throat.

The man was holding a rope in one hand, and at the end of the rope was the mutilated corpse that made Jimmy drool, and judging by the ribs, it was clearly a human skeleton.

"Want meat?"

His wolf-like eyes looked at Jimmy condescendingly, although he was an ordinary human, he was two meters tall, and the muscles of his whole body were swollen, compared to Jimmy who was lying on the ground due to hunger, he was even more like a super mutant.

Jimmy's consciousness was blurred, and he reached out with a hand in vain to grab the corpse, a beastly roar coming out of his mouth.

"Hahahaha-"

The man standing next to the leader let out a low laugh, his voice was very peculiar and had a sense of resonance, he was dressed almost the same as the leader, only slightly smaller and with shorter hair.

That wide face was an X-shaped scar, one shallow and one deep.

"A hungry dog, but a strong vicious dog, how about giving him a chance? See if he can bite? ”

In the midst of the frenzied crowd, a woman with half loose hair and half dreadlocks suddenly poked out and bit directly at the leader's arm, which was much thicker than the average man's thigh.

She didn't spare any strength at all, and saw blood directly.

The leader rubbed his teeth and stretched out his big fan-like hand to slap the woman twice, forcibly knocking her down.

The woman went crazy, her face swollen and laughed, and then the leader grabbed her hair and lifted her into the air.

"Crazy bitch, what do you want to do?"

The leader didn't react to the bleeding wound on his arm, and even the deep wound had begun to scab over.

The woman whose hair was pulled had a psychotic smile on her face, as if she didn't feel pain.

"Hungry.... Eat meat..... Biting .... You.... It's delicious, I can bite .... Hey. ”

She laughed twistedly, hissing at the words.

The others let out a wolf's howl, even the chief, who tossed the woman aside.

"I said to see if the hungry dog on the ground could bite, but not you..... I'll feed you well in the evening, but don't pass out so easily this time..... You are indeed the most suitable daughter of Hecate for us, and the last one is only worth being roasted and eaten. ”

The strong, unhuman leader threw the body he was holding on a rope in front of Jimmy, and he could no longer bear the hunger, so he pounced on it and began to eat the mutilated corpse directly, the bones crunching under his chewing, and he devoured them like biscuits.

The long-haired madmen around him seemed to resonate with him, and they let out a terrible howl and jumped up and down around Jimmy.

The leader watched this scene, glanced around his companions, and suddenly shouted.

"Hey! If you want to eat meat too, then stand up and kill that super mutant! ”

Without hesitation, a madman rushed towards Jimmy, who was eating, with a rusty knife, and slashed him in the neck.

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