Chapter Thirty-Five: Underwater Events

On the water settlements built by the raiders of the Water Tiger Gang using a large number of abandoned boats and wooden rafts, iron plates and other objects, the invading invaders and the beaten original residents of the head of the rats are temporarily suspended, but no one knows how long this peace will last.

Not far from the turret mount, an automatic turret that has been melted by plasma weapons is striking. Mark stood at Andy's side with his arms crossed, and he tried not to look at Beatrice next to him, because the guy was gnawing on an unknown object in his hand, even though the guy was his own, Mark still watched this scene with disgust for his blood pressure to rise.

Andy was standing there talking to a self-proclaimed shark leader who had popped up from among the marauders, but if Mark was in charge, he would rather just blow up the stockade and let these brutal and stupid marauders remain in the water forever as they were called, rather than continue to pretend to be the victim here.

"So.... You were just here to trade? "The shark was a little speechless.

"Yes, but what your men did made me change my mind, and I've heard that you also killed the last batch of Crimson Caravan merchants who came to trade." Andy thought to himself, he didn't know that the cargo boxes on those speedboats were still there, but now there was no need to maintain the original plan.

"We've just ended the civil strife, and a new order has just been established by me, and the rules of the previous boss have all been nullified.... I did have some negligence with regard to your merchants from the south, which led some of my men to make their own decisions on several occasions. We can start all over again if you want, and I promise I'll restrain them this time....." The shark cautiously took a friendly stance, of course, integrity is simply not to be found in their dictionaries for these marauders.

"What happened to the members of the Crimson Caravan before?" Andy glanced left and right twice, looking around the corners where the raiders who were hiding like frightened birds, there were indeed some cages suspended in the air, some were half submerged in water, and the cages still contained rotting wreckage of unknown things.... But with the marauders' style, it is almost certain that they are their captives.

"Hmm.... I don't know, I can't tell the difference between the people of your so-called crimson caravan and the other passers-by, and if they are important to you, I can only say that you came a little late, and my men are probably inclined to treat those who come uninvited in a more violent way, and that's how we live, and it makes no sense for you to blame them. The shark said in a relaxed tone, as if he didn't take the people who had been here before, but at the same time, the hand he was hiding behind his back made a few gestures, and immediately the marauders silently retreated away.

"Saying that doesn't solve the problem..... Those people should have brought a large batch of goods at once, and you can't easily confuse them with other people in this regard, so I advise you to be honest and make it clear. Andy took a step forward, and the surrounding marauders immediately looked nervous, in their opinion, this guy in front of him was not only extremely powerful but also extremely accurate, regardless of whether it was a close attack or a long-range volley, it seemed that he did not pose any threat to him, and he always realized that he had been hit after a moment in front of him, and the other party did not even look at him from beginning to end.

Beatrice was still feasting, she hadn't eaten a human for too long, and now she was completely indulged in the deliciousness of human flesh, her hideous face stained with blood, and her grinning mouth revealing two rows of huge teeth, covered with shredded flesh.....

"Meat ..... It's delicious...."She finally threw away the skeleton in her hand, and cast her hungry gaze on the other marauders, the horrible gaze from the predators causing some of them to scream on the spot.

"You know that clearly, yes, but I need you to give me a little time." The shark turned to a marauder, who immediately climbed up a ladder to a high platform and turned a roller so slowly that Andy waited for more than ten minutes.

As the iron chain wrapped around it was gradually retracted, a square iron cage that had sunk under the water and was rusty and gradually pulled up, and some rotten debris flowed down with the water.

The guy jumped on top of the cage and climbed down the iron rod to open the cage, the door of the cage was actually locked underneath, and after it was opened, a large pile of filthy garbage suddenly fell from the inside to the deck, and an indescribable stench suddenly spread with the sun's exposure.

It was a lot of human corpses, about a dozen of them, these corpses were dressed differently, but the clothes had been blackened by long-term soaking, the corpses in the clothes looked like they had been soaked in the giant view, and they were also being eaten by many mutant creatures underwater, until this time there were some witch snakes writhing out of the rotting and blackened corpses, and they had basically eaten up the internal organs.

Mark looked twice, then suddenly walked over and pulled out a corpse with his foot, and he looked at it in silence for a moment before sighing slightly.

Even Beatrice shook her head at the badly decomposed bones.

"Meat .... It's bad......" Andy frowned at the stench, and he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that the bastards seemed to be full of glory, as if they were showing off their achievements to outsiders.

"That's what you do? Even those who come to trade with you will be killed? The shark still had the same casual tone as he carried the anchor.

"Didn't I already tell you? It doesn't matter what deal the previous boss made with you, the war has just been quelled here, and if I were you, I would be wise not to approach at will, but it's clear that these guys don't understand this and pay a heavy price for it, and they should not have done it. ”

"It's different now, if you will...", a low rumble suddenly came from beneath his feet, followed by a green turbid current that gushed up from the bottom of the water, and a violent shaking passed between the fragile wrecks where they were connected, and the marauders scattered in a split second.

Some jumped on the boat to start the diesel engine and flew away, while others quickly pulled out a pair of small scuba from behind like a shark and jumped directly into the water and disappeared without a trace, as if they had dissolved into the lake in an instant.

Andy and Mark fired a few shots at the last minute and killed a few people, but most of the marauders ran away, as if they had already rehearsed the current situation, each with its own goal and its own way out, and none of them hesitated...... Wait, there seems to be an exception.

A guy in a patched NcR military uniform with a lot of homemade decorations tried to run past a small boat, but a chicken coop hit him in the face on the way, and by the time he got up from the ground with a nosebleed, the boat had already sailed a long way, leaving only the back of a middle finger far towards him.

At this time, three figures had already surrounded him. A thick, green-skinned arm grabbed him and lifted him into the air, the strength of the arm making it impossible for him to resist.

"Fresh meat..... Hahaha. Beatrice looked at the maggots, and the smile on her face was so amiable that it made people feel as if they had been kicked into an ice hole on the coldest winter day, and they were cold from head to toe.

"Wait, don't eat me!" He squirmed like a real ship maggot, his face full of pain, the scene of someone being eaten raw by this monster from all fours was too terrifying, even for a marauder who did all kinds of evil.

"Don't eat him yet, I ask you, what's going on now?" Andy walked up to the ship maggot and saw that he was wearing the standard cowhide steel plate of the NcR soldier on his chest

"Body armor", except that the two-headed bear pattern has been repainted as a fish. The ship's maggots' anxious features twisted into a ball, and he shouted hoarsely.

"Run! In a few moments, something big will come up from under the water, and if you don't get out of here soon, everyone will be doomed, that thing..."There was another violent tremor from below, and the green turbidity had already made the water dirty, and the scene was almost the same as the one Andy had seen when he passed by the lake on his last business trip.

Several people suddenly rolled on the deck, but Beatrice still clung to the maggots in his hands, which made it difficult for him to avoid the debris that fell around him, and one leg was hit hard by a large wooden box, and he wailed on the spot.

"Stop yelling!" Andy got up from the deck and rewarded him with a few delicious big mouths, but probably because of the somewhat deformed leg, the ship maggot still kept screaming, so he had to take out a hemp boil-x from the beep boy and prick it directly, this time it was very useful, and after a few seconds, the ship maggot gradually closed its mouth as if it could eat a fist.

"Run, run..... That monster is going to kill us all...."He wiped the tears from his face, repeating this anxiously, adding after glancing at his miserable leg.

"I know a lot of things, don't leave me alone, I.... I know where the shark lives in the captain's quarters, and I know the password to his safe, I.... I know everything you want to know, don't leave me! Mark clung to the boat gang and was almost thrown straight into the water, when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking water behind him, and when he looked back, he was shocked to see a huge chelicera, which stretched out of the water and then plunged deep into the hull of a wrecked ship there, the carapace of the chelicerab was turquoise, and a large amount of filamentous algae and all kinds of debris were entwined with it.

"This is..."Before he could look further, there was a splash on the water next to him, and a huge chelicera poked out from under the water, threatening to pierce Mark, but fortunately he reacted quickly and rolled backwards to dodge.

With the stirring splash of water, a huge presence seemed to be climbing up, and the terrifying howl that seemed to come from the extreme depth became brighter and brighter.

The terrifying sound of "Ang ————" spread upwards from the already completely permeated water, and everything seemed to vibrate with it.
