Walking through the darkness, avoiding a few charred bones, Andy saw an iron ladder, and after carefully climbing to the top, he saw a manhole cover.

"Yike————!!" Almost with all his strength, he lifted the manhole cover and climbed out of the sewer, looking back to see that it was a piece of building crushed against it, and it would not have been possible to lift it without enough strength.

When he stood up, the ruins of New Canaan were charred and black, with dilapidated buildings and ash-covered ground, and even after all the years, the ruins looked like they had been cursed.

Looking up, it seems that you can still see how frightened the people of New Canaanite were when they faced the refugees who suddenly changed color and raised their butcher knives to rush into the city to burn and loot, next to a burned and collapsed house with a few bones remaining, an adult was holding several children, they were burned alive and crushed by the collapsed building, and no one restrained them afterward.

Maybe it's a mother, or maybe it's a father. Shaking his head, Andy didn't want to think about it, turned around and covered the manhole he had climbed out of, then used the beep boy to identify the direction and turned around and walked towards the location of Jericho's town.

He returned to the mouth of the well where he had jumped, and Alexandra waited with her arms leaned against the tin wall of the shack, her cowboy hat pressed down slightly to cover her face.

"I thought you'd become rat poop, and I was going to wait one more hour one last time, and I think that hour is worth the bottle cap you paid for in the first place, isn't it?" Alexandra looked up when she heard the footsteps and saw Andy walking over, although her mouth was still not very polite, but she could see that she was relieved.

Andy nodded at her and glanced inside and around the shack, not finding the odd old lady.

"What about the strange old woman?" Alexandra pointed with her chin at the foul-smelling sewer shaft.

"I don't know what's going on, suddenly I started shouting and screaming, those two policemen wanted to arrest her and take her to the police station, who would have thought that she would jump directly under the big stinky pit, and no one would dare to follow her anymore." Andy was stunned for a moment, wondering if this could have anything to do with the strange leech mass that was blown up in the sewer, but now there is no way to verify it, the sewer is not only foul-smelling and dirty, but also full of cannibalistic mutant animals, with the old lady's body state that even lost her teeth, this jump is afraid that it will never go back, and he has no idea of going down to relive the harsh environment now.

"Okay, let's leave her alone.... I went down to take a look, and the rats had been killed a lot by a huge leech underneath, and the root cause of the rat infestation had dissolved itself. ”

"After that, we will probably need to find a way to deal with the rats that have run up the sewers, otherwise they will attack humans more and more frequently in order to compete for food; As for the leeches, let's use the method we used in the water plant before, let the people of Jericho scatter all the salt into the sewer, and those leeches will naturally no longer be a problem. As he spoke, he realized that the police were no longer here.

"Didn't those guys mean to wait with you for me to come out?" Alexandra put her shotgun back behind her back and grabbed her dirty golden ponytail.

"They thought about it, but it seems that something happened again..... ..................... Andy and Alexandra hurried to the police station, the day was almost over, and the 215 gang had not had time to tell Sheriff O'Connor about it, and besides, he had to bring bad news to the crowd, about the policeman who had been torn to pieces by rats.

"Where's Sheriff O'Connor?" He looked around, and the police station was once again on duty with the young man.

He looked up a little decadently, as if it was because of his sedentary relationship.

"Went with the others to Dr. Lane, and the caravan brought back one of our expatriate spies, who was so badly wounded that he wondered if he could be saved." Andy heard the word expatriate spy, a Jericho position he hadn't heard of before.

"What is an expatriate spy?" The young policeman spread his hands.

"It's just.... It's literal, on the NcR side, settlements that are a little larger or value trade have to hire some people, spies, detectives, spies, spies... In short, it doesn't matter what it's called, the role is the same, they are responsible for collecting all kinds of information from the outside world, and then bringing it back to the employer, and giving additional rewards according to the importance of the information. ”

"Prophets come first, don't they? Whether it's a security issue or a business issue, the more you know, the more secure you will be, and the more you will be able to gain the upper hand. Andy thought to himself, this is true, in terms of safety, the town of Jericho was built on the ruins of New Canaan, and there was not even a wall, but it was leaning on the side of a broken old wall of New Canaan in the east, and the other directions were completely in touch with nature; In terms of business, the price of water purification, an important commodity in Jericho Town, is closely related to the financial benefits of Jericho Town, and if you want to avoid losing money and not losing opportunities, you must have an understanding of the market conditions in the surrounding wasteland.

Hiring a few people who specialize in this matter is also a normal need. After briefly inquiring about the location of Dr. Lane's clinic, sure enough, it was the same clinic he saw when he went to Anson's bar before, according to Sheriff O'Connor before, Dr. Lane, who opened the clinic, was also the only doctor in Jericho Town.

But did he really save the living? Hurriedly rushed over, it was a dilapidated shack as usual, and the materials used to build it were different and colorful, and the signboard written in yellow paint was written on the iron plate surface of the door, so that outsiders could see that this was a clinic belonging to Dr. Lane.

Sheriff O'Connor and the rest of the cops were inside, their clothes seemingly washed, and the filth they had previously stained in the sewers was gone.

Andy walked over and pushed away a few policemen who were standing on both sides of the scene, and saw that there was a poor man lying on the dirty operating table, with almost no good meat on his body, all of which were scars of being beaten with blunt objects and chopped with sharp weapons, and one leg looked broken, because normal people's legs would not be so bent.

A young man in his twenties, dressed in a white coat covered with blood, was busy beside the wounded, sometimes pulling out his eyelids and looking at it, and sometimes putting his ears on his chest, while the wounded man lay motionless and let him toss, watching the breath gradually begin to flow more than the intake, and he was afraid that his life would not be long.

"You..... Will it work? Dr. Lane? Otherwise, let him lie down for a while. Sheriff O'Connor stopped talking a few times, and he had a heart on Lane

The "doctor's" question was clear, and the wounded patient was only sent in the hope that Ryan would temporarily hang the man's life even if he injected the drug, and when the spy had just been sent back to Jericho by the caravan, he had told others that he had a hundred thousand urgent matters to convey to Sheriff O'Connor, but by the time Sergeant O'Connor saw him, he was unconscious.

Dr. Lane was very proactive, with a calm smile on his face, and he kept patting his chest to make sure that his treatment would work soon.

"Please put a hundred hearts on Sergeant O'Connor, I can cure him, but it will take a little little time, you see, he will soon wake up after being injected with my elixir, and he can even go down to the ground! Speaking of walking on the ground, look at his poor leg, how cruel it would be for a guy to beat a man's leg almost in half? Okay, okay, Dr. Lane can not only wake him up, but I also know a thing or two about treating broken bones. He danced like a clown, his mouth was full of lotus flowers, and the policemen around him were stunned, except for Sheriff O'Connor, who frowned and remained silent.

Seeing that Sheriff O'Connor did not answer, Dr. Lane seemed a little anxious, and he reached out and reached for the injured leg, picking up a bone saw next to him.

"Let me see, just push a little bit in this direction here.... Well, it seems that you can't push it, so you just need to cut off a little bit of the unwanted part...."

"Stop!" A loud female voice stopped his reckless treatment.

"Are you going to take his leg off?" Sheriff O'Connor looks back in surprise to see Andy and Alexandra walking into the clinic.

"Oh my gosh, you're finally back Andy. One of my was badly wounded, and your companion refused to leave there before you returned, so I had no choice but to ..... Ahem, in short, please leave this matter to you, I'm afraid this person has brought back very important information, I need him to survive and speak. Andy turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Alexander, in exchange for the other party's side head and snorting.

She turned her head again to look at the dying sick number, sighed, and said the first request.

"The wound on his body is so big, you just went down the sewer, and you are still swarming here, do you want him to be infected and die? Hurry up! Hearing this, Sergeant O'Connor immediately asked the other officers to return to their posts, and he was then stopped by Andy.

"He's dead." Sheriff O'Connor shook all over, then a look of regret on his face.

"A very young man, he also told me about his parents and his dreams, he came here from NcR with a dream of getting rich in the East, but he didn't mix well in Hoover Dam City and became the bottom, NcR war caused him to go back to his hometown, he was introduced by a friend all the way to follow me.... None of that makes sense now. ”

"He was so brave at the time, I told him to be careful, and it ended up like this. You have found his.... Something? Andy handed Sheriff O'Connor some bones, and he glanced at them and only sighed.

"Thank you, Andy, this bottle cap is a thank you for that." He was about to look back to see if the spy had gotten better after Alexandra's intervention, when he suddenly remembered what he had told Andicha before, about the burned-out caravan caravan, and who had done all this illegal thing.

"Did you go to the Latter-Saints? What do they say? Those people follow dogma, easily do not do injustice, and rarely lie, and if they say that they did not do it, perhaps some of our competitors are stumbling up. Andy began to talk to Sheriff O'Connor about what he had learned from the trip with a serious expression and tone.

In fact, it was the latter-day followers who formed an organization called the Hand of God, seemingly hoping to drive outsiders away from the ruins of New Canaan. Many of those people were former militia members of New Canaan, and some of them volunteered to take up guns to protect their relatives and friends after the disaster, and they were very cohesive and combative, but they were not willing to hurt people now. Sheriff O'Connor looked at Andy fixedly, digesting the news for a moment.

"So, do they really want revenge? Who is their leader? Andy glanced to the side, Alexandra and Dr. Lane had some arguments, he believed that this woman who didn't want others to call her a doctor actually had good medical skills, and it shouldn't be a problem to save that person, he didn't know much about medicine, and he didn't have much ability to participate in the treatment work in the past, so it was better to hurry up and explain the situation to Sheriff O'Connor.

"A man named Jeremiah Rigden, a survivor of New Canaan, but I convinced him .... If you wish, they agree to put aside their rivalry and merge with the town of Jericho, on the condition that the town of Jericho revert back to the name of New Canaan, and that they work together to complete the reconstruction. Sheriff O'Connor was dumbfounded, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to speak.

After a moment, he questioned a little dryly.

"But.... But while we did owe something to them, we didn't take part in the atrocities in the first place, and even gave us some shelter, and the development of Jericho Town to where it is today is the result of a little effort, and the process is far from easy. Not only did they not provide much help in this process, but they even seriously damaged the reputation of our hard-working business many times in a row, and the burnt goods not only meant that people suffered serious property damage, but also meant that we could not protect the merchants from entering and leaving Jericho safely, causing a bad impact..."

"And, they just come to us and share everything, what can they offer? Is it simply to stop continuing this grave crime? And after that? Are they willing to obey my laws? If they don't want to, won't the rule of law environment that I've worked so hard to create become a big joke? How can I continue to convince people that I am sending those criminals to the waterworks? If the plant loses its workers, the town of Jericho will soon be wiped out, and I will not accept that. Andy thought to himself, with Jeremiah

"Standing under the banner of God" rhetoric, he will most likely only use Sheriff O'Connor's law as text garbage on waste paper, and the subsequent situation is mostly similar to what Sheriff O'Connor said, if you want to convince him, you still have to make it clear to him what crisis Jericho Town is facing now.

Just as he was moving with reason, Alexandra was interrogating Ryan, the so-called doctor, about the rescue.

"What did you use for him?" Alexandra saw several empty syringes on the medical tray next to her.

Dr. Ryan shrugged.

"Hey, here's my exclusive secret ingredient, and you expect me to tell you that?" Without saying a word, Alexandra suddenly walked to the corner and lifted the white cloth that covered it, and saw several brown bottles, one of which had been opened, and inside was a green pill with a cross pattern, which was clearly some strong spirit.

"Hey! Stop, what are you doing? Ryan rushed over to put the medicine back on, and when he saw Alexandra's suspicious eyes, he coughed twice in embarrassment.

"What's wrong.... Ahem, don't look at me like that, I do sell some entertainment drugs, but this doesn't delay me from treating the disease and saving people, you look at it, he will wake up soon. He took out a small plastic gas cylinder with a red can and a white mouth from his bosom, and raised his hand to press it against the mouth and nose of the wounded man, but Alexandra stopped him.

"What are you doing here?" Alexandra looked in shock at the small gas cylinder Dr. Ryan was holding.

"You treat patients with Jeter? Do you usually do the same thing? Ryan was startled at first, then looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention, and hurriedly stretched out his finger and booed.

"Shh——!!h Be quiet, so... In the future, if you come to me to buy something, I will give you a 10% discount? As long as you don't mess with other people, can't you? What about 80 folds? Not yet? Seven folds, this is my limit, okay? Alexandra was already speechless, and after half a voice she asked softly about the so-called "Doctor".

"Let me ask you a question, Ryan, doctor-student, where is the ACL in the person?" Ryan sweated on his forehead when he heard this, and he said his answer with a dry smile.

"This... Is it in the heart? yes, that's right, what kind of fork ligament, right? Right in the heart! Alexandra laughed angrily.

"Huh?! Dr. Lane, let me call you that one last time, you said you knew how to deal with broken bones, and now you say that what is on a person's knee is on the heart? Well, I know how much you know about medicine. Next, you fucking step aside, and if you keep quiet, I'll fuck you off. Ryan glanced back at Sheriff O'Connor, and after making sure he was talking to Andy that he wouldn't have a chance to hear it, he had to smile awkwardly and give Alexandra his place.
