The train was speeding by, and the outcome of this sudden revolt of prisoners was not seen by Andy and the others, but at the last moment, the prison guards with almost exactly the same equipment as the NcR soldiers had already begun to shoot, and even if the prisoners were more numerous, the probability that some of them would successfully cross the gun line to complete the gun capture was still almost zero.

Once the blood and corpses began to appear on the ground, the desire to resist in the hearts of most of the prisoners would begin to extinguish in an instant, and the most that remained was a few people who turned around and fled in the chaos, but it was just as difficult to do so, after all, these prisoners had shackles on their feet, although the weight was not heavy, but it was enough to make people unable to take a step.

It is impossible for the train to brake urgently because of this sudden incident, and even if it starts to brake now, it will be far, far away when the train finally stops; When the time comes, everyone gets off the train and drives back, if something really happens to those prison guards, by the time everyone arrives, I am afraid that their bodies have lost the last bit of warmth.

If the prison guards manage to quell the riots, their past support will be even more meaningless.

So, it's better to just pass by and do more important things. Simon and the two bodyguards were silent for a while, and then they began to talk again, the content of which had something to do with what had just happened, but also something that Andy had never heard of.

"It's not the first time that has happened, and it's not going to be the last, you know.... After the fall of Fort Alashid, there has been some chaos in the settlements that were under our control, especially Dog City. I once heard a soldier who had escaped talk about the situation at that time, and everyone's hopes were little by little, and the eyes of the prisoners were little by little fierce.... What a torment. ”

"I know about that, too, but at least now Dogtown is back in our hands, but the other group is different, isn't it?"

"That's what you say? They, I've heard they're somewhere further west, and they're the same people they were..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." The rest of the matter was not talked about by them any further, and Andy sounded a little curious, but he didn't bother to go over and be bored by the fact that those guys were hiding from himself and Otto as if they were hiding from pollutants.

The train went on like this for another night, and the next morning, not long after, the train gradually began to slow down.

As the sun rises over the horizon and shines on everything around it, the train finally stops. The soldiers got out of the car and opened the car, Andy and Simon separated and drove their car out, Simon drove a rusty Vega sedan, both from the interior and from the exterior of the car in stark contrast to Andy's atomic Humvee, but Simon and the three of them appeared to be in the car without hesitation, believing that it would be a terrible thing for them to let them share a car with a ghoul.

Andy drove out of the car, and according to Simon, it would take about a day to drive from here to Jericho, and the train would turn back because the railroad ahead had not been repaired by the NcR, and the train would not be able to reach Jericho.

Plains Plains.... Desolate sandy plains, endless wastelands, withered grass of varying heights scattered around, and some reddish-yellow hills appear in the distance.

Andy stared at the horizon, the land it had called before the war

"Utah", which belonged to the area of the Great Southwestern Federation of SA at the time, or used a name older than the pre-war era, was once called a political entity

State. This ancient word is said to have once meant people in the mountains. Of course, all of that has dissipated like dust gone with the wind.

Such a boring itinerary is so uniform, Otto is telling some cold jokes on the side, at first Andy can still helplessly smile bitterly, then it turns into a boring dry laugh, and finally the smile completely disappears from his face, and Otto finally stops his terrible cold jokes.

In this awkward silence, a glittering golden light suddenly appeared not far ahead.

Andy's eyes were immediately drawn to the sparkle of the same scenery that shattered the eternal, and he immediately slowed down to see that the sparkle came from the head of a young woman with blond hair, who seemed to be arguing with a man who was half-kneeling.

The woman's back looked so familiar to Andy's eyes that he felt he must have seen her somewhere, but without seeing the face, he couldn't remember when or where he had seen her.

At this thought, Andy stopped the car by surprise.

"Hey? What's wrong? It's probably just a common line of treasure hunters arguing, you're sure..."Otto asked, but Andy was distraught and didn't hear it, so Otto had to spread his hands, pick up his revolver and follow him out of the car and walk towards the two men.

As he got closer, the woman's voice gradually came, which intensified the familiarity in Andy's heart.

"I said, I won't help people who don't need help at all, what you're experiencing now is completely due to your own mistakes, only you can help yourself, as long as you start to change your past mistakes from this moment, you can naturally get salvation from pain, and you don't need others to help you solve the problem at all." She crossed her arms, the metal part of the shotgun behind her gleaming in the sunlight, telling those around her that she was anything but weak.

"No, please... I was really in a lot of pain, I was so uncomfortable, I felt like my whole body was being torn apart... I.... Please help me, I beg you, you.... You saved my life before, didn't you? You are.... Sizzle.... You're a doctor, right, doctors are supposed to help people in need, you... Not.... Do you think the bottle cap is not enough? I.... I promise to give it to you when I get back..."The woman was completely unmoved, looking at the man in front of her who was half-kneeling and pleading, and her voice carried even more disgust and anger.

"Of course my help isn't free, but don't think I'm going to help you, someone who doesn't deserve to be helped at all, if you really can't make it out, you deserve to disappear like this, and.... You will always remember one thing for me in the future, and that is: no-to-call-me-doctor-student! She gritted her teeth and said word by word, when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, and instantly took off the shotgun behind her back and turned to aim.

A man in a cowboy hat and a long brown coat appeared there, followed by a ghoul dressed in green.

Otto's arm holding the revolver was half-raised, and seeing that Andy had no intention of pulling out the gun, his arm swayed back and forth a few times before finally putting away the pistol.

“...... Who? The woman's blue-gray eyes were sharp and staring at Andy through the sights on the shotgun, and Andy recognized the woman by face-to-face observation.

"Alexandra." Andy looked at her for a long time, but the other party obviously didn't leave a deep impression on Andy in his heart, so there was only strangeness in his eyes.

"There are a lot of people who know me, so what do you want? Do you want my life or do you want someone else's life? I'll do whatever I need to answer me, so don't be hostile in front of me, okay? She said coldly, the shotgun in her hand did not mean to let go in the slightest.

Andy sighed and tried to defuse Alexandra's vigilance.

"Looks like you've forgotten me, do you remember when we met in the valley of Mesa Verde? That super mutant named Blackjack, you've been chasing him for a long time, right? Have you forgotten about that? Alexandra looked at his face for a moment, but still didn't choose to believe it for a moment.

"I've always had a good memory, I won't forget any of the things I've seen people have experienced, of course I remember how I wasted countless bullets on that super mutant, and of course I remember how I struggled to endure when I finally forced him into the valley because I ran out of supplies and didn't eat or drink.... But I just don't know why you know that? Who are you? Andy was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't gone to the Dome for plastic surgery when he first met Alexandra, and his face now looked a little different than it had been.

"I'm sorry, but let me explain, I'm Andy, the person who helped you solve the dilemma back then, and I know that my face is indeed very foreign to you now. But... It's just a small adjustment from some people, and if you look at me, you should be able to tell that I have something on my face that you are familiar with, right? Alexandra looked at it carefully for a moment, and finally put down her shotgun.

"Ha, well, it turned out to be you. For the sake of your generosity at the beginning, I can say that my evaluation of you is good, but why did you choose plastic surgery so well? Spending so many caps and not actually helping me would never have chosen to do such a stupid thing if it were me. Andy laughed wryly.

"It's not that I took the initiative to choose, it all seems to happen naturally, not to mention that I didn't spend a bottle cap at all, and plastic surgery will of course have a practical effect on the individual, the change in charm directly affects your interpersonal communication with the people around you, how can it be said that there is no actual help?" Alexandra snorted coldly.

"Interpersonal communication? My communication with other people has always been simple and direct, I will work for whoever gives me bottle caps, whether they like me or hate me, they don't have a bottle cap with me. In other words, if a bastard dares to owe me a bottle cap, even if he looks as dazzling as the sun over there, he won't want to run away from the bullets fired from my gun, and I'll turn his pretty face into a wasp's nest! Andy knew in her heart that she was right, as a woman, she was willing to do a dirty slave business with the legion that preached the inequality of men and women in order to obtain bottle caps, even if the target of the trade was Blackjack, a super mutant, you could see how peculiar Alexandra's life creed was, she had no opinion on the legion and the slave trade, and her only goal was to make money.

At this time, the man who was half-kneeling next to him pleaded again after he could barely understand the change of events.

"Oh God.... That gentleman over there, you... Can you help me, or help me convince this lady to give me help, I really need help, I ..... Andy looked over, the man's eyes were bloodshot and flushed, and his hands and feet were unnaturally tilted to the sides, making it difficult for him to stand and could only half-kneel on the ground, his face twitching from time to time.

"What's wrong with you?" The man groaned in reply.

"I.... I feel miserable.... I need something to stop the pain.... You know, it's...."Alexandra looked back at the man and sneered.

"Stop, coward, don't think people can't see what's going on with you." Andy looked at the man again, he looked like he had an old wound on his left leg, but it was obviously not the source of his pain at this time, if he was sick, his face was now a little abnormal.

Thinking about it, there is only one possibility.

"You're a poisonous bug?" The question made the man's face embarrassed for a moment, but he soon began to defend himself.

"I.... Sizzle.... What can I do, Jericho Town, there are too many drugs..... And, and .... Not.... And if I refuse to boil with hemp-x, how am I going to persevere in that never-ending torture of hard labor, I.... Ahh

"I think I heard him say you saved his life?" Alexandra nodded nonchalantly.

"I was hunting lizards around here, and a big boss hired me to skin ten adult mutant lizards for him, and I saw this bitch idiot staggering through the bushes and almost killing him as a lizard. At that time, he was injured, and he kept lying on the ground barking like a puppy in a trap, and I gave him a healing needle for the sake of a few bottle caps in his pocket, and helped him clean the wound by the way..."Andy raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I can't see it, I thought you were just a bounty hunter or mercenary, but I didn't think you were still a doctor..." Alexandra instantly raised her shotgun again, and pointed it at Andy.

"Don't-use-that-word-call-me." Andy hurriedly waved his hand to signal that he was willing to obey, and Alexandra put down the gun.

"Is this some kind of taboo for you?" He looked at Alexandra's face, even if it was unkempt but still difficult to hide, the blonde hair tied into braids and the sharp, gray-blue eyes like eagle eyes so appealing, even if her words and actions were more rude than many male wastelanders.

Alexandra snorted coldly, not intending to explain. Looking at the man on the side who was still stuck in a withdrawal reaction and couldn't extricate himself, Andy thought to himself that he couldn't open his mouth if he wanted to get some information about Jericho Town from him in advance, then he could only find a way to help him first.

"Well, Alexandra, do you have anything with you that would help him? You know.... Such as addiction? Or some earthmoving products with similar effects? Please don't keep glaring at me like that, I didn't keep calling you that word, did I? Alexandra put her shotgun back behind her back and glanced at the man on the ground with a trashy look.

"The addiction solution can only temporarily alleviate the physical pain of his poisonous insect, but the psychological dependence cannot be eliminated at all, and the only one who can help him from beginning to end is himself. Moreover, there is very little stock of that thing, and the most important medicine in the earthwork is the egg of the mutant scorpion, and it is difficult to get that thing...... There's no way I'm going to give him something so precious for free, and as far as I know, he's a bad criminal, which means he's never going to be able to pull out a cap other than the one he had from nowhere, and I don't have any addiction to it now, and you see, I'm not a doctor or a poisonous bug. She walked over and pulled the man's right hand up, and Andy could clearly see that there was a mark on it that had been branded with a soldering iron.

"Look, thief."
