Leaving Frida's gun shop, Andy happened to pass by the front of the General's shop. The door of the store suddenly opened, and a short dwarf wearing an old hat came out to sort out the sign at the door, judging by his focused movements and expressions, he must be a clerk....

"He's the owner... The name is too ironic. Just as Andy was thinking this, a passing wasteland man saw the gnome and immediately smiled sarcastically.

"Yo! Isn't this the tall and strong General Mirko? How? Can you touch the top? The dwarf rolled his eyes when he heard this, and there was a look of disdain on his face.

"Idiot! Are you blind? Mirko never needed this kind of help! If you don't want to buy anything then get out of here, and don't bother me with nothing to do, or Mirko will make you look good with his fists! The wasteland almost burst out laughing.

"There's a blind man here, why can't you look in the mirror once, Mirko? You little dwarf always say these funny things, I can give you one hand in a fight, I just need to put the other hand against your head, and you don't want to touch me! Hahahaha! When the dwarf heard this, his face flushed with anger, and he shouted expletives, jumped up and down with his hands dancing, picked up a stick, and struck at the man who was laughing at him, but he was thrown away without a trace after only a few quick steps.

After a long period of farce, the dwarf named Mirko angrily threw away his stick and pulled out a pistol from his back, so that the provocateur finally shut up and ran away.

Mirko continued to curse at the door, claiming that he was 7 feet 6 inches tall and weighed 360 pounds, which if he was to be true, a rare fit for men, but unfortunately the opposite was true.

From Andy's point of view, Mirko looks like a large mole. The dwarf finally slammed the door back to the house in anger, and the provocateur who had just been hiding also ran out of the corner again.

"What's wrong with him?" Andy asked curiously. The man explained to Andy with a wicked smile on his face.

"This dwarf had always dreamed that he would grow tall and strong, but then the water produced by the water purifier was suddenly polluted for some reason, and the followers of the apocalypse told everyone that the water could no longer be drunk, and now it could only be used to irrigate the hydroponic farms in the dam. But no one informed the dwarf, and that day he happened to drink so much that he almost lost his life. ”

"Since that day, the dwarf seems to have gone mad from drinking sewage, telling people all day how tall and strong he is, and changing the name of his shop. If others don't agree with him, he's angry to death.... But it's so funny, and there are a few other people besides me who come here to tease him from time to time. Andy was a little speechless, he didn't think it was funny or funny, maybe for the depressed residents of Hoover Dam

"Entertainment" allows them to temporarily let go of negative emotions in their hearts by transferring those emotions to something else

"Suitable" individuals. He went back to Pablo and asked for a refund for the day's accommodation, after all, he was leaving temporarily tomorrow, but Pablo said that there was no one to stay at all, so he could keep Andy's bed until he returned.

Since he said so, Andy didn't mention the refund of the money again, in fact, it is very comfortable to live here, and although the style of Pablo's food is barren, the taste is okay.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the next day, and last night the water was calm. Andy had already set a time reminder with the beep boy, got up in time and made hastily preparations, and left the shack and walked all the way towards the Crimson Caravan Company.

Once there, although it was still early, there were already many caravans ready to make final confirmations.

The bearded man and the dark circles were still doing their job there, and Andy was assigned to a team as a guard, with the expected pay for this trip being 300 bottle caps, and the food on the way was taken care of by the Crimson caravan.

A thin set of leather armor and a very poor Fox Rifle are another promised benefit, but for Andy, these almost scrap-like armor and weapons are only worth selling in stores when he returns.

A man dressed as a standard businessman with a cap in his pocket and a cap joins Andy and welcomes him on the journey, which he describes as a group of five people.

Three of them are merchants belonging to the Crimson Caravan, and they will take stock of all the supplies to be carried in this project, properly distribute the items on the way, determine the route of the caravan, and start a series of trades at the end of the project.

Theoretically, the captain of the three merchants is the leader of the team, and everyone else is subject to his commands.

The captain has the right to judge the emergencies on the way, and is also the person who will submit an evaluation report to the company after the end of the journey, if the captain dies on the road, the specific number of rewards for the whole team will be drastically reduced, and if some bad signs are investigated, they may be directly registered on the blacklist of the red caravan.

There are also two guards for this team, one of them is Andy, and the other is a mercenary who has worked with the captain many times, and their main mission on this trip is to do their best to keep the goods and people safe so that the caravan will not be looted and slaughtered by any hostile elements.

"This time we are going to take a safer route, and there shouldn't be any major problems, so there are only five people in total. If the company evaluates the danger factor on the road as high, it may be up to eight people on the road together, that is, send four armed guards to accompany the team all the way to the destination. The captain explained this to Andy, after all, it was the first time he had been involved in such a thing.

He soon followed the captain to where the rest of the team were, where three men were standing or squatting in a sheltered corner, with a red-skinned two-headed cow on their side.

Three storage boxes of different colors have been roped to the back of the two-headed cow, and it is clear that they are full of supplies and bottle caps.

The inner city of the Hoover Dam, the so-called Central District, is said to have a hydroponic farm, so it regularly produces batches of delicious vegetables, fruits, and grains, the seeds of which were brought from New California.

For many tribes, these are the necessities of their lives, and the key question is whether they can get there and return smoothly, after all, there are many obstacles along the way.

The mercenary wearing a black full-cover gas mask wore a thick and heavy battle armor, the trusty green color and the shotgun on his back made him look very combative, and a dirty leather coat underneath the armor.

The other two looked like merchants, a man and a woman, the man was wearing a yellow jacket and jeans, a cigarette in his hand, and a mustache with a loose expression on his face; The woman on the side was wearing a fur coat and a white hood on her head, and the gauze on it opened only a small slit so that people could not see her face clearly.

The captain walked up to the middle of several people and made a quick introduction.

"This is Andy, a newly sent escort, and you can see that he is very capable at a glance. And with the help of his beep boy, we don't have to be so afraid that we will get lost on the road, this time we are very lucky.... I hope that everyone will work together on the way, and be sure to deliver the goods in full and tail, and then send back the bottle caps one by one. ”

"Nobody wants to see blood on the road or anything worse, I've been doing this for more than a decade, and I've been at the Hoover Dam for several years, and in terms of past experience, it depends on how well everyone cooperates; The hearts must be moved together, and no one should have certain emotions and thoughts that should not be had, and if there is something to say, tell me immediately. The captain turned around and introduced Andy as he pointed to the man.

"The guy with the gun over there is called Milolo, and the safety of this road depends on the two of you, so you can talk to him more later. The one in yellow is called Kant, and he is quite knowledgeable about guns, and the woman is called Dimason, who knows some medical skills; My name is Adich, and I have probably traveled more business than you have walked, so everything must be under my command.... The rest of the things to be said on the road, time is limited, although the time agreed before is quite sufficient, but no one knows what will happen in the next second, let's set off immediately! Andy said hello to a few people, and before he even had time to remember the names, the team had already set off.

Adich walked out first, Kant stood up and patted the dust off his buttocks, then untied the rope of the two-headed cow and drove it to get up from the ground and walk north, Dimathan silently followed the two forward.

The mercenary named Milolo seemed to be interested in Andy, and took the initiative to lean over to talk to him, and his voice felt a little hoarse through the gas mask.

"The first time I met you, the two of us must know each other more on this trip, what weapons are you good at? How do you like to deal with someone with a gun? How do you like to deal with a bite? Andy pulled out an N99 and a self-charging pistol and showed it.

"Relying on these two good guys, whether they are human or not, whether they are far or near, I have the confidence to kill them quickly." He put the pistol away again, showing his biceps.

"If it doesn't work, I'll use my fists, and those pillagers who have taken too many drugs can't catch a single punch." Milolo couldn't help but whistle through his gas mask.

"Sounds amazing, I'm good at using this guy behind my back, I'm also good at playing with knives, I'm good at trapping... But my physique isn't as good as yours, and if I fall behind, you'll have to remember to give me a hand. Hey, I know there's no real good people in the wasteland, but we're going to have to get to each other for the next week. ”
