"I have a question." At this time, a group of people had already walked far out of the city of Hoover Dam, and they could only see the trace of the dam when they looked back carefully.

"How are we going to cross the river from the north?" The captain smiled and explained back.

"I forgot to tell you that we are going to take this route, we end at a tribe in the northeast, but we have to pass a ferry crossing on the way.... From there, we can take a boat to the east. Kant interjected as he drove the cow.

"There's a guy on Lake Mead who runs a ferry business, and it's much faster to take that road than to cross the bridge from the south and take it overland." The group just walked away to the north without a conversation, the black rocks are the environmental theme here, and the way is a little dull, sometimes Milolo will deliberately make a few jokes, but it is really a little cold.

Kant and Dimatson, a man and woman, seem to have some deeper relationship, and occasionally the two will whisper something away from the others on the road, which captain Adich is used to.

Now that the team had been walking for half a day, resting in a fairly flat place for the time being, Miloro was standing on a high place with his telescope and scanning around.

Andy sees the captain beckoning Kant to prepare the team's lunch, and they take out several aluminum boxes from a large box carried on the back of a two-headed ox.

"It looks like we'll be ready for dinner in a moment, but we don't need to help." Milolo beckoned Andy to come over and stand with him on a rock.

After standing on it, Andy felt that his vision had expanded a lot, and the scenery around him jumped in front of him. The distant waters are vast, and those who know know that this is only a huge lake, and those who don't know may think that they are on the shore.

"This big lake is 20 kilometers wide at its widest point and 1 kilometer away at its narrowest point, and it used to be one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, but now I don't know what will happen.," Andy took Milolo's telescope and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but be shocked by this magnificent lake.

"Artificial lake... Also, this great lake was formed because the Hoover Dam impounded the river, right? ”

"Of course, there wasn't that much water here before the Hoover Dam was built... The shape of Lake Mead resembles three curves extending from one point in three directions, and the shape is due to the course of the surrounding valleys; Its area is amazing, and its depth is also quite amazing, with an average depth of about 400 meters. ”

"You know how much, not many people know about these things now."

"It's over, I seem to show off that I know a lot, but in fact, it's just a feeling, and after dealing with those followers of the Apocalypse, it will always make people unconsciously become closer to their style." The captain shouted to the two of them, as if the food was ready.

Andy walked over and saw that the three of them had prepared a campfire with a pot on it and some boiling dirty water in it, which was half-submerged in several metal boxes.

I didn't see it clearly just now, but now it looks like there are still some blurred patterns on those aluminum boxes, and it seems that a small person in a blue leotard is sticking out his thumb.... I don't know why, Andy feels that this image is a little familiar.

He suddenly lifted the beep-beep boy, opened the screen and saw the source of the familiarity, the state display of the beep-beep boy after turning on was like this, a little boy with beanie eyes wearing a leotard with a large blue face and yellow stripes around the neck, and raised his thumb from time to time.

"Vault-Tech?" Andy couldn't help but let out a question, and several other people didn't seem to understand what Andy was muttering, and each took out an aluminum box and opened it, and the aroma of hot food came out all of a sudden.

Milolo also took his share, but it was worth noting that he did not intend to take off his gloves and show his hands even if he got wet, or that he had been wrapping himself tightly in the slack; This led Andy to speculate about Milolo's identity, but that wasn't a big deal.

He disappeared behind a stone with the box, and no one around him paid attention to it. Captain Adich had already begun to feast, and when the box was opened, the contents resembled a mixture, and Andy saw that there were yellow parts and red parts, and some things that were supposed to be pieces of meat and beans.

The appearance is very ordinary, but the taste does make the tired and hungry walker have a great appetite. A spoon was given to Andy, so they sat down in the field and began to eat, the taste after the mouth is still quite good, but it should not be a habit for everyone to eat, because the taste is salty and sweet....

"Where did this box come from?" Andy asked casually while eating, and Kant, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have lost his appetite and ate very slowly, and when he heard this, he closed the box and simply stopped eating it for the time being.

"These boxes are all leftovers from before the war, probably some strange pre-war company that produced something, and there is a lot of stock ... However, such a large box usually contains some useless small toys, which are not worth anything at all, so we simply use these boxes to hold food. Kant set his box aside.

"I've had enough of this damn thing." Adich looked up and gave him a stern warning.

"Kant, eat or not, but if you are hungry and can't walk on the road, I won't take extra care of you, if we have some problems that shouldn't have occurred because you are hungry, you just wait for the company to fine you!" With Kant finished, Adich turned around and admonished Andy.

"I don't know if you're used to eating, but this is the standard caravan fast food in the wasteland, which is uniformly made by the company; It's made with a mix of several pre-war packaged foods, and you should also taste the flavor of canned meat, mashed potatoes, and pork stew, making it an absolute top notch choice for coping with hunger. ”

"The taste is at least better than before, when making this thing in the past, many caravans considered that they might suffer radiation damage on the way, so they also mixed it with radiation, that smell ....." Andy didn't want to imagine what the taste would be like if he mixed it with the red potion liquid in this paste, and thanked the red caravan for being willing to remove this thing from the recipe.

As the group continued to eat, Milolo suddenly came out of the corner. Andy was a little surprised, he had eaten fast enough, but he still hadn't finished eating this box of food, and Milolo had eaten it so quickly.... After a brief lunch break, the group set out on their way, aiming to get as close as possible to the ferry that would help them cross Lake Mead before night came.

In a hurry, Adich was sure that it wouldn't take long for them to get to their destination, so they could find a place to rest tonight.

Along the way, they have been attacked by several beasts, including an encounter with a pack of coyotes and being chased by a giant radscorpion.

Luckily, Milolo's shotgun and Andy's pistol were powerful enough, and Kant in a yellow jacket also showed his marksmanship, using his submachine gun to shoot a crazed ghoul howling towards the crowd into a sieve.

The mad ghoul fell to the ground, all of its skin peeled off, revealing the leathered, waxy red withered flesh and white bones underneath, with almost no traces of muscle or fat on its body, and it was a living skeleton with skin and bones.

In contrast, this creature that has degenerated from a human to a brainless monster has sharp nails and teeth, and if you are unsuspected, you will not be severely injured by it.

Adich had been injured by the radiant scorpion's pincers and had become a little more difficult to move, but he managed to keep leading the team.

"Are you alright, Captain?" Andy spun the N99 in his hand, and while the weapon was much less lethal than Monty Python and Rhinoceros, it was very effective against enemies like the Ghouls who didn't have a thick carapace or wore sturdy armor.

"No problem, it's all a small thing, and I'm going to suffer a lot of injuries of this level on the wasteland." Adich had been treated with some medication by the man who wore a hood all day, and the needles had allowed him to hit the road immediately, but it would take some time to get better.

A lamp was hung from the two-headed ox, and the men used this light to walk through the darkness until Adich decided that they would set up camp in the neighborhood and set out the next day.

A makeshift tent was erected, and then a bonfire was lit in front of it, and dinner was a simple box of pre-war packaged food for each person, and Andy had been given a box of devil eggs with the words "Jiajiawei Devil Eggs", which he opened to find that they were hard-boiled eggs with the yolks had been replaced.

After eating it, I felt that the egg white groove was refilled with something similar to a mixture of egg yolk and some slightly spicy sauce.

The vigil at night is divided into two parts, Andy and Milolo are on duty separately, and this will be the way it will be, after all, their task is like this, and the vigil is very important.

Andy was arranged to keep watch on the eve of the tent, and Milolo mysteriously told Andy before going to sleep in the tent.

"If you hear something strange at night, don't act rashly, although the area we are in now is not particularly dangerous, but it is difficult to say that it is absolutely safe."

"How?"

"I don't know what the hell happened in Lake Mead after the bombs fell, but it is said that some people heard a very alarming sound coming from the lake at night, that sound.... Indescribable, very penetrating and with an inexplicable charm, legend has it that someone has disappeared after that. Andy shook his head, there were so many legends in the wasteland that he didn't take it to heart at all, just told Milolo to go to sleep quickly.
