Walking through the streets of the dimly lit central district, dilapidated tents and shacks on both sides of the flank, some bearded men gathered around shouting and shouting, and after a while, they made a mess, and it was needless to say that there were some arguments in the process of gathering people to gamble.

Listening to those rude abuses, even if they didn't lean over, passers-by could guess that there was a person who was suspected of being a stranger, which can be big or small.

With the poor policing forces in the center almost negligible, anything can happen in this remote place, and the next day someone may see a horrific scene, such as a few severed fingers on the ground or a swollen corpse that has been beaten.

Ignoring the usual wasteland fights, Andy walked towards his goal, which, according to Farmer Dave, required access to the baseline to a staircase in the northernmost part of the center, which was right in front of him.

"Be careful, we won't be expected to go in this time, and no one knows what will happen." Mark pushed his glasses and held the plasma pistol in his hand, the black staircase in front of him was as dangerous as the mouth of a beast.

"Try not to make a big fuss.... If it ends up bloody and ugly. Andy only felt troubled, although the farmer Dave and Pierre secretly told him that the process was not important and that the goal was achieved, but it would definitely be against his morals to start a random massacre.

Beatrice brandished the hammer in her hand and looked eager to try.

"Blood.... Want! The three of them slowly walked into the darkness, the steps were covered with dirt and puddles, and the green light of the Pip-Boy shone a cloud of dust, which was noticeably rarely set foot on.

After a while, a messy bunker appeared in front of him, which looked like a garbage heap made of some rotten wooden tables and rusty iron cabinets, and the reason why it was obvious that it was a bunker was because in the gap could be seen two dirty mattresses randomly laid behind it, and two men in tattered trousers were sleeping soundly, with guns in hand.

The dark and damp underground environment was so bad that almost everything Andy could see was moldy, and it was hard to figure out how the two sleeping guys could stay in such a dark and damp place.

"Ahem—" Andy coughed loudly, and the two had no intention of waking up. Beatrice grunted twice and picked up a piece of rusty iron from the ground and threw it directly onto the rusty iron cabinet, making a loud echoing sound.

Not only did this immediately wake up the two sleeping people, but even Andy and Mark were startled.

"Hell, can you say that in advance?" Andy gritted his teeth and warned Beatrice not to act on his own, while the two guys, who were supposed to be albino guards, had already stood up from behind the garbage bunker with their weapons in hand.

"Who?!" A hoarse voice came from there, and under the light of the Pip-Boy, Andy saw that the two men were all pale as paper, and the hair on their heads was as gray as an old man's, and the other was a strange pale yellow.

But they are obviously not old people, and the muscles on these two people are very obvious, and they can be called burly no matter who looks at them.

"Hello, I have something I want to see Billy." Andy calmly appealed to them, but in exchange for a rude response.

"Huh? .... You surface waste! What nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly allow you vile and filthy creatures to pollute our territory? Acquaintances, get out of here! Let me tell you, the surface waste that dared to trespass here before, guess where it is? The tall albino man on the left said in a high-pitched, hoarse voice, reaching out and pulling a skull out of a drawer.

"Here, there are several, hahaha." Beatrice licked her lips at the sight of the skull, and the two albino men noticed the behemoth standing next to Andy, and they immediately began to talk as if no one was there.

"Look at that guy, he's so big, and his skin is still green.... What a monster. ”

"Uh... Now I know, those legends are true, uh... The people on the surface have been polluted. The short, albino man on the right didn't know why, and when he said the last sentence, his whole body convulsed and let out a strange scream, as if he had some kind of disease.

Andy frowned and endured the humid, musty air around him, not wanting to waste time with the two idiots in front of him for a second.

"I'm not one of those... Drunkard or gangster, I'm here for important business. Pierre and Dave the Farmer asked me to come over and talk to your leader, Billy, about something... Let me go, I don't want to be your enemy. The two albino men looked at each other, then laughed.

", they won't come at this time!"

"Uh... You liar.... Uh, want to lie to us, surface waste, uh.... Don't! Andy was speechless for a while, and finally said the killer idea.

"One of you, Billy's daughter, Mary Joe.... It's been a long time since I've been back to you, has it? Billy must be concerned about this? When the two albinos heard this, their faces immediately changed.

"What do you mean?"

"Uh.... Little, Mary..... Forehead..... Billy thinks of her, she, uh.... Where is it? Andy moved his neck and took a slight step forward, and the two people in front of him immediately raised their weapons.

"Don't come, take a step closer.."

"Uh.... We, shoot! Andy had to raise his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.

"Well, I just want you to let me in and meet Billy as soon as possible, as I said earlier, I know where Mary Jo is, and he will be interested in chatting with me...."The tall man winked, and the short albino turned his head behind him, and after about five or six minutes, the footsteps of the two men gradually came.

Behind the short albino man, a guy of astonishingly large physique appeared. The guy was about two meters tall, and his muscles and huge belly made him look like a bear.

He was wrapped in a crude cloth coat, wore a brimmed hat on his head, and his thick beard and hair were all of that unnatural pale yellow.

And the terrible face that was not angry and self-righteous was the same color as the other two albino people, pale as paper.

"Uh... Daddy Billy, uh... That's it. The short albino man pointed at Andy, and the man he called Billy Daddy looked up, and the pressure of that gaze was like substance.

"Guy from outside, I heard you know where my daughter Mary Jo is, right?" His throat rumbled, and he seemed to be unusually full of energy, as if he were a mutant bear disguised as a human.

Andy looked directly at this terrible guy in front of him, he was also carrying a heavy weapon behind his back, which was supposed to be a light machine gun.... As previously learned, as the group of people who actually lived at the Hoover Dam for the longest time, they should have collected quite a few supplies from the Hoover Dam.

Completely different from the previous situation, the albino people are all strong and full of martial virtues, and although the weapons in their hands are not good due to the harsh environment, they seem to have undergone simple maintenance.

If the NcR soldiers had been in a head-on confrontation with them, it was hard to say what the final outcome would have been; The soldiers stationed in the central area were all unwarlike, addicted to pornography, gambling and drugs, and were afraid that if the albinos came out of the cave en masse to attack, they would be caught off guard.

This explains why Mayor Dodge preferred to make peace with these aboriginal albinos in the first place, giving them the autonomy of the important areas where the generators are located, on the one hand, he may be as many Dodge mayor's followers say, he is generous, and on the other hand, it may be that the albino people are smelly, hard, united and warlike.

It is conceivable that once the two sides are hostile, the albinos will stick to the interior of the Hoover Dam, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the NcR side to pacify by force in a short time and at a small cost, causing great chaos.

"yes, I know where she is." Billy's face instantly turned hideous, and the horizontal flesh crawled all over the face.

"Oh? So tell me quickly, where is she? Is she doing well? Has she been wronged? What is she doing now? I know the filth of you surface waste, and if you dare to hurt her and insult her, I will take all of us with you! Don't you like those generators? I'm going to smash all those machines and kill you all from the inside out! He almost snarled as he finished the sentence, loud enough to make one's eardrums tingle unbearably.

Mark took an ugly step sideways, his fingers turned on the safety of the plasma pistol, and there was a cart on the side that had been randomly discarded there, and once things went in the worst direction, it was time to bet with his life to compete for the speed of reaction on both sides.

Andy took a deep breath and continued to talk to Billy in as calm a voice as possible.

"You calm down first, I'll answer all your questions one by one, first of all, your daughter Mary Jo is doing well now, and she's very happy." Although he said this, Andy couldn't help but scold Dusty in his heart, that old bustard actually asked Mary Jo to go to the small room to do business on the premise of knowing Mary Jo's identity in order to make money.

Although she claimed to have taken Mary Jo's feelings into consideration, the objective facts did not change..... If the guy in front of me knew about this, there would probably be a terrible riot at the Hoover Dam, and I don't know how many people would die directly in the armed conflict, and the loss of energy due to the destruction of the power generation would tear an entire settlement apart.

Billy glared at Andy, and could tell that as a father, he had always been upset by his daughter's departure.

"So, where is she? What is she doing? Andy frowned, knowing that at this point he had no choice but to lie.

"She works in a restaurant, the owner is a mature and accommodating older woman, Mary Jo was taken in by her, and she did her job there as a waitress, just.... It is to bring food and water to the customer's table. She likes this job very much, she eats and sleeps well every day, the boss takes care of her, and the customers are very good to her.... She was not wronged. Billy's face softened a little as he listened.

"So.... No wonder little Mary has been reluctant to come back, she.... She has always disliked spending time with everyone, but I was so worried, I would dream that she was being bullied outside every day when I went to bed, I yelled in my dreams, and when I got angry, I shot at the wall... Thank you for telling me this. Andy's fingers twitched a few times, and he was a little unbearable to see the tears shaking in Billy's big eyes, but this truth is too cruel, I'm afraid that Billy will not have the reason to listen to his own explanation once he learns.

"Well, I have another request for this time, about the scum pit." Billy wiped his face and tried to regain his composure.

"How?" Andy pauses and says what Pierre and Farmer Dave have in mind.

"Farmer Dave, you know, the one who regularly delivers grain to you, and now his farm needs to be expanded, and the chosen location is the slag pit." Billy let out a sneer, and Andy hurriedly said the other conditions.

"This matter is supported by Mayor Dodge, the new farm will have your share, you can work on the new farm as a tenant farmer of the NcR, there will not be many people coming down to occupy your space or take your territory, you will just get paid and more food in this cooperation." Billy pursed his lips and reached out to tug at his beard.

"Sounds pretty good.... However, we're not going to clean up the slag pit for you, what's in there.... Hum. Andy patted himself.

"That's no problem, a few of us came down for this matter, and we don't need you to make a move." Billy nodded slightly, but was still unwilling to come to an agreement.

"Even so, I have no reason to let you pass through our territory casually, and who knows what you guys have in mind? If you want me to let you go, that's fine. But you're going to do me a favor and prove that you really mean it. Looking at the remaining tears on Billy's face, Andy already had a guess in his heart, but he didn't say it right away.

"What's the rush? You say, I can help. ”
