Chapter 37: The Siege of the Jackals

The soldiers took very little with them, and the scientists deliberately did so.

These things were only enough for them to be active for a few days, and Larsen knew that.

After an injection of some raditenin restored his strength and freed him from withdrawal, Larsen's mood gradually returned to normal.

Thinking of the consequences of offending Dr. Goddard, he was terrified.

After thinking about it, considering that his gang could still maintain the safety of the Great Dome, he thought that he still had the capital to negotiate.

Who knows, when Larsen and the others returned to the Great Dome again, they couldn't find their way back.

"Can you get in at the entrance over there?"

The soldiers were talking.

"Can't get in.... It seems that all the entrances are closed. ”

They began to get anxious gradually.

"Is this a mistake? Misuse or something? .... Opened in a few days? ”

Larsen looked at the dome, and he didn't think he was left to chance.

"No.... It's just that we were abandoned, they deliberately closed the entrance, they wanted us to die...."

The soldiers fell silent.

After that, they all had an emotional breakdown.

"What to do! What to do! ”

A soldier flung his arm full of pinholes, and because of the overinjection, he couldn't even find a suitable place in his arm to continue the needle, and now he needed to turn to destroy his leg.

"Where are we going? There is no food, there is no raditenin, and everywhere you go is death...."

Others are even more sorrowful.

"What if you meet the barbarians you used to be? We...."

Larsen couldn't bear it anymore, and he raised his pistol and fired it into the air.

"Calm down!"

He roared loudly and relied on his authority to stabilize the situation.

"We have to find food.... They can eat anything, and they must not starve to death outside as they wish! ”

He looked at the dome with resentment.

"Wait and see, sooner or later they will pay!"

...........

After only two days of hard work, things are out of control.

The soldiers are getting closer and closer to madness in withdrawal and extreme hunger....

Not only did some people start eating rats and cockroaches, but some even started the idea of glowing ghouls that had been buried before.

Their reasoning was that by eating ghoul meat while taking Watterin, they would avoid death from radiation poisoning and would not starve to death.

This happened in this chaotic crowd of people, and even the jackals knew not to eat ghouls because it would cause serious illness.

Cannibalism may not be too uncommon in the wasteland, especially in this wild and inhabited eastern region.

Moreover, the mad ghouls can hardly be called human anymore ....

So, in some cases, the flesh of this "beast" mutated by radiation may also be able ....

But no.

Many natives have confirmed one thing with the lesson of blood, even if you are hungry and crazy, it is better not to try to eat ghoul meat.

The ** of the mad ghouls is full of radiation, and often contains a lot of parasites, viruses, and poisonous substances by the way.

Eating this kind of stuff is not much different from eating nuclear waste.

Or maybe worse.

The soldiers who ate the glowing ghoul meat did not die of radiation poisoning because they had ingested large amounts of Raditenin, but none of the others were left behind.

There have been cases of glittering pustules (a disease in which the body reacts severely to radiation contamination), radiation worms (parasites that like to ingest radiation, which reduces the body's resistance to radiation ingestion), and various gastroenteritis and radiation complications.

But, in short, they did not starve to death.

However, these days have increased the mental burden on the soldiers.

In the end, even the flesh of the glowing ghoul could not be found, and many people could no longer eat it, otherwise the outcome of eating or not eating would be the same, it would be death.

On this day, the bewildered soldiers were scavenging for food, but there was nothing in the ruins of Boulder City, where birds don't, and it seemed that even the radiant cockroaches and rats that they had despoted at first but now regarded as treasures were gone, and all they could see was black rubble and ashes.

A soldier on the verge of insanity due to multiple illnesses and withdrawals, as well as hunger, struggles to wander when he finds a can in a ruined corner.

"Hey...."

He made a sound almost demented, and walked over to pick up the tin can, only to find it empty.

The poor soldier stood there sluggishly with an empty tin can, his already overloaded sanity finally shattered with this little hope being dashed.

"Uh..... Roar!!! ”

The soldier formed a hook with his five fingers, lying on the ground and roaring into the sky, like a wild beast.

The others looked at each other, and then panicked.

"He's crazy!"

The soldiers cried out in terror for the others to stay away, and when they lost their minds, they became monsters that only gnawed and gnawed, just like the mad ghouls they killed.

But they didn't have the weapons to attack the guy, because Larsen had taken all their magazines after a misfire in a trance.

At this point, Larsen walked over, a pistol in his hand, and he knew it was time to do it.

The soldier roared and charged towards Larsen, arms and mouth wide open, eyes full of malice and madness, and would kill anyone in his vicinity if he could.

"Bang! ——”

With a gunshot rang out, a soldier who had been struggling to survive with Larsen for a long time died under Larsen's gun.

He scratched at his messy hair, not feeling sad, for he felt that it must be a relief..... Sometimes, life is too difficult and painful, and death is not a fear, but an escape.

The soldiers gathered silently around Larsen to look at the corpse on the ground, his NCR uniform was too dirty to be seen.

"I see the jackals staring at us..."

A soldier said to Larsen. "They... It must be trying to eat us, we can't escape.... How do you say? ”

Larsen's mind was spinning, and at this point, they couldn't fight the jackals anymore, because they didn't have much to fight.

They've broken with the Dome, and if the nerds in the Dome want them dead, why can't they want the nerds to die?

Larsen slung the fluttering corpse on the ground over his shoulders and dragged him past the soldier.

"You.... Tell me where the jackals are and I'll go to them. ”

The soldier told him that the jackals were in the south.

Larsen walked south with the corpse, and it wasn't long before he saw the huge camp, where more than a hundred men were stationed, and they were drinking blood and savage.

After Larsen revealed his intentions, the brave fellow was allowed to meet Bancy, the leader of the jackals.

"You're here for me? That's a lot of guts. ”

Biansi's face had a wolf-like expression, and he cracked open his gaping mouth, and the thick messy hair behind him that swayed like a cloak reflected his horror even more terrifyingly.

"I hope to come to a deal with you...."

Larsen looked haggard and determined at Bancy, he had nothing to fear, he was just dead.

The body was disposed of by him on the ground.

"I heard you guys like this... This man was originally one of us. ”

Banxi looked at the corpse on the ground with amusement.

"Oops.... It's unprecedented, someone will give us the meat of their companions, you know I've seen some guy who was scared before he died, crying and telling me that the people around him are better than him, so I will let the two of them share life and death on the spot to amuse us, and then the two of them chop the meat together.... However, if you come to us with meat, then you can gain our friendship. ”

Banxi walked up to Larsen, and the aura on his body was very amazing.

Larsen felt like he could barely lift his eyelids and could only look down.

"I know from my men that you are a bunch of poisonous insects, or you are hungry and have only one skin left, and there is nothing to eat for such meat, so we are not very interested in you in the first place.... However, we need human flesh to eat, and we are running out of stock. ”

Banxi sneered and told some terrible stories.

"We destroyed two villages on the west side and made food for everyone, but we had already eaten all of them on the way... We're going to go further east, so we need more meat, you know where it's meat? I've heard you've been around a building around here, right? .... Where is the meat? ”

Almost without thinking, Larsen told Banxi about the large amount of chilled meat in the freezer of the Great Dome, and the surrounding jackals were agitated.

"Good..."

Banxi nodded in satisfaction.

"You can get out, we'll be safe with each other.... We've got to get all the meat there! ”

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