In the dark, stinking sewers, Andy and John are looking for the kid named Don.

At this moment, Andy was walking while looking at the walls on both sides with the help of the light of the beep-boy, with the help of this green light, he saw that there were many strange traces on the walls full of mud and stains, such as the pattern like a big wave in front of him, and the pattern like a big spider web not far away, these traces were densely intertwined with each other, and it could be seen that they were all recently formed, the soil and bricks were strangely distorted, and there was even a lot of water flowing in the cracks in some parts, And it must have been a drier place before.

“..... Is this all due to the power of GEcK? Andy stopped around the corner of an underground hallway and saw the bricks in front of him being twisted into a ball.

John passed behind him and did not stop.

"There are a lot of weird things in this world, if you have seen enough, go on quickly, after a while, that child may even get into the stomach of the cockroach, and then we will have to cut the cockroach open, and then carry the cockroach to his parents and send it to his parents, telling them that the rest of the children should be taken care of, and next time don't let them run into the insect colony." Andy is a little speechless by John's terrible cold humor, so the two walk and talk.

"Have you seen anything strange before? I mean the kind of weirdness in the real sense of the word. John reached out and pinched a large cockroach hiding in the shadows, the cockroach's head burst like a balloon, and the yellow-green bodily fluids dripped down from his hand, and this super mutant was still in the mood to taste it....

"The taste is not good, the small fresh worm is still a little sweet, this big one is super unpalatable, what did you just ask me?" Andy took two steps to the side to avoid the splashes of cockroach juice, then repeated his question.

"I said... John, have you ever encountered something strange before, it seems like you had a complicated experience in the past. The blue-skinned man was silent for a moment, giving a few examples.

"My memory is so much worse than it used to be, so sometimes I can't figure out what I was really seeing or if it was just a hallucination, and I can tell you something if you want to hear it. Well.... At that time, we were special forces under the orders of the bishop, and some of the missions were top secret in the unification at the time. We were once ordered to kill a man who had escaped from his lab, who had been a normal man when he was captured, but somehow he later became able to manipulate electricity. Andy was of course surprised to hear this.

"What? Manipulating the current? John nodded earnestly, then hesitated again.

"I really don't have a good memory, and I forgot a lot of the details, when I and three other companions were ordered to recover the escaped test subject, or rather, his body. At that time, we both used the stealth boy, which was a trivial matter to solve in an instant, and I had already slashed the big knife in my hand on his neck, but as soon as I touched him, a very violent electric current surged from his body, and I was directly sent flying. ”

"The test subject later controlled the electricity to fight my companions, and for a moment no one could help him, but after a while his head exploded on its own, and we took the rest of his body back."

"I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any high-tech gear on him, and.... I don't know why his head exploded later, but it was weird. Andy listened to the story in silence, and although it was probably just a story made up by John mixed with his own whims, it sounded funny, and at least it helped to distract from this disgusting environment.

Some big cockroaches appeared in front, John raised the hoe in his hand, Andy raised the firearm in his hand, the two of them killed one far and one close, tacitly cooperated, and soon killed the cockroaches hiding here.

A cockroach with a huge hole in its body that was shot out of its body was not yet dead, it was squirming in its stomach, Andy actually saw a small cockroach coming out of its stomach directly, disgusted, he fired a few more shots, and killed those small cockroaches.

The deeper you go, the more you can see a large number of cockroach eggs.

"It's hopeless, go back and tell them to come down and pour some fuel and burn it here, didn't Pablo get some oil?" John picked up a rag on the ground, which was supposed to be part of a trumpet, lizard-skin robe.

Andy also noticed the rag, and looking at it, the child had indeed turned into a cockroach poop.

Andy was about to echo John, when he suddenly saw a cockroach of great size, almost the size of a two-headed cow, crawl out, followed by several large cockroaches.

The two immediately raised their weapons, who would have thought that the cockroach actually spoke.

"Stop, don't continue to hurt my people!" Andy incredulously pointed the Pip-Boy's light at the big cockroach that stopped in front of them, and then saw that there was a child sitting on the back of the big cockroach, it turned out that it was not the cockroach talking, but the child talking.

"You.... Are you Xiaoton? The boy crossed his arms and replied with a very proud tone with a child's voice.

"Exactly! But you should call me Your Majesty Peton now, for I am a king now!" This sewer is my kingdom, and these lovely insects are my people and subordinates, and you should meet them with respect, not kill innocents. John and Andy fell silent, never expecting such a twist in the story.

"I don't know why those cockroaches didn't eat you but took you with them, maybe they also understood the importance of storing food when they got bigger, but that doesn't mean you've really become a king.... Come down, then hide, and watch me punch this big worm to death, and then I'll take you back to your mom and dad, you know, kid? Listen to me now, or you'll be spanked..."John raised the hoe in his hand and said, Xiao Dun was so angry that his face turned red.

"Nope! You stupid big blue guy! You are! Hurry away from my kingdom, you are not welcome here! "It seems to have been affected, and the cockroaches that had been standing still not far away made preparations for the attack in unison.

Andy grabbed John, who was about to walk forward with his hoe.

"Xiao Dun, you said that those cockroaches are your people, can you control them?" The boy wiped the snot from his face and regained his pride.

"Of course, I have a heart with my people, they understand me, and I understand them. They called out to me from underground, so I pried open the manhole cover and let them out, haha! I had hoped that Julie would come down and be my queen, but she was so timid that she ran away at the sight of my people, and hmph—it doesn't matter, I'll find something better! Only then did Andy know that the cockroach was released by this little ghost, probably using the stick next to the manhole cover.

"Do you know what you did? Those cockroaches ran out and chased people around, and someone was already bitten, and we came down to find you completely, who are you worthy of doing this? Call.... Come here, Xiaodun, get off that cockroach, I'll take you out of here to find your parents, why are you staying with a bunch of cockroaches? Xiao Dun pinched his waist and shook his head frantically.

"Nope! No! No! I'm going to stay with my people, I don't have a mother or a father anymore, these cockroaches in your mouth are my relatives, I just know about it now, huh - those adults always laugh at me talking to animals, but that's just they can't hear animals, I'm different! John pulled out an incognito boy.

"You continue to attract that kid's attention, and I'll stealthily go over and take him straight down." Andy stopped him again.

"No.... It's not good for you to use the words of the Invisible Kid again, I'll come..."John just wanted to hand the Invisible Boy to Andy, but he didn't want him to disappear into thin air, he didn't even see Andy use the Invisible Boy, but it was already here, he had to try to pretend to be friendly and continue to talk to the little boy.

"Hey! You.... Don, huh? Have you ever wondered what cockroaches eat? The kid hesitated for a moment.

"Eat... Eat... Eat corn, eat potatoes, I like to eat these, my mother used to make these, they must like to eat too, well.... It must be like this. John chuckled, then made a serious face.

"Wrong! Cockroaches love to eat poop the most! If you're going to stay with them, you're going to have to poop with them too! Do you like to eat? I don't like to eat, tell me, do you like to eat poop? Xiao Don's face was immediately full of horror.

"What.... This.... No, it won't! John saw that he was beginning to waver, and he added another force.

"Not only do you have to eat poop with them, but you also have to live in this damp, black and dirty sewer forever, because cockroaches don't like to run outside in the sun, so you can't either! And there are no children who will play with you anymore, they are all afraid of cockroaches, you can only play alone, those cockroaches have no hands and no mouth, can they play with you? No, they'll just give you poop to eat! Xiao Dun's mouth was wide open, he didn't think about it at all, and the cockroach swarm began to become restless, because the hairs on their bodies sensed some vibrations in the air, although they couldn't see or touch, something was approaching.

Andy, who was invisible, jumped on the huge cockroach and took Xiao Don away from it, and in Xiao Don's scream, the cockroaches also went crazy.

took out his sword and swept over, and the legs of the big cockroach were all cut off, and he had to lie on the ground. The largest cockroach spewed out some eggs and hatched into small cockroaches as soon as they landed.

John picked up the hoe, hoe after hoe, and the slap crackled all over the ground. After leaving a distance, he threw the screaming Xiaoton to John, took out two pistols and turned on the V mode to shoot wildly, and the huge cockroach that was about to squirt liquid from the mouthparts was smashed into a sieve by those bullets, but with the death of the cockroach, a large number of cockroaches suddenly began to drill out of the cracks around him, and quickly crawled towards the place where Andy and the two were.

"Retreat!" Andy throws a grenade and follows John around and runs.

"Nope! No! Xiao Dun cried and screamed, but the two ignored him and ran away.

"I'll have to go down and see." Ignoring Matthew's dissuasion, Jeremiah also rejected the proposal of the people around him to wait for a while and planned to go down the well, and was almost knocked down by John and Andy who climbed out, and the two hurriedly buckled the manhole cover, and then there was a terrible sizzling sound below, it seemed that countless cockroaches were crawling underneath, and the manhole cover was about to be overturned several times, but John forcibly pressed it back.

Andy wiped a handful of sweat, the number of cockroaches was a bit staggering.

"Gotta find a way, whether it's setting fires or pesticides, it's going to have to—" His words were interrupted by a sad cry as Xiao Don sat on the ground crying.

Everyone looked at the child, thinking that he was frightened, but Xiao Dun said something strange.

"You guys.... You murderers! Kill my people, and now they don't recognize me, and you pay my king, you pay my king! Andy walked over to a confused Jeremiah and whispered a few words, and Jeremiah nodded in understanding.

He walked over to Xiao Dun and half-knelt down.

"Don't cry, weren't you rescued? Don't you want to play with little Julie? She's nearby. Xiao Dun didn't appreciate it at all.

"Who wanted them to save me?! I'm all right! If I... If my dad was still around, he would have helped me! He always understands what I'm talking about, you can't! No! Wow—" One of Andy's fellow post-Saints whispered to Andy about the child.

"Xiao Dun's father was killed by marauders last year, and his mother has long since died, and since then this child has become more and more strange, his father was originally a very powerful man, and even brought back a wild two-headed cow from outside, and later became a pack ox for our caravan to transport goods." Jeremiah patiently persuaded him by his side, and after a while, he gradually stopped crying.

But he still didn't want to play with his friends anymore.

"Henry said, I'm the one who doesn't have a father, he doesn't play with me, and the others don't come near me anymore after hearing this, and I don't play with them anymore! I told Julie that I could talk to animals, and she didn't believe me, I could tell! Jeremiah reached out to wipe the tears from Xiao Don's face, and after hesitating for a while, he said something that surprised Xiao Don's face.

"They shouldn't say that, but you can't just stop playing with them, everybody has something that only they can do, but they can't talk to animals, so they don't believe you can do it. It doesn't matter, what you have later is a chance to prove it to them.... Your father was a hero, and without the cattle he brought back, there would have been no caravan for us, and we would have all starved. ”

"If you want, I'll be your dad in the future, would you like to?" ......................... Under the sun, the children were running and playing, and Andy was smiling happily when he saw that Xiao Dun was also back among the children.

Alexandra returned with a few people, and although some were injured, they brought back scorpion eggs.

She suggested that Jeremiah form a mutual aid society, so that people who were willing to quit would supervise each other after taking addiction to make sure that everyone could get out of the abyss of drugs, and that positive interpersonal interactions were also important factors in wanting to stay away from those things.

Andy walked over to put his arm around her shoulder, but she pushed her away mercilessly.

"Hey... Why be so cold, haven't we all already had intimate contact? Alexandra rolled her eyes.

"Because I drank too much then, and now you have to keep a proper distance until I give permission." Standing next to a big tree that had just grown for a short time, Andy and Alexandra looked at the children who were playing wildly, the children of the post-Saint congregationists are generally numerous, a family often has more than five children, and some even have more than ten, after leaving the harsh environment, these children will grow up healthier and soon become the fresh blood of New Canaan.

"Do you think anyone can really talk to animals?" Andy looked at Xiao Dun, who forgot all the previous unpleasantness in the blink of an eye, and hugged Julie, and subconsciously asked this in his mouth, as if someone had claimed to have this talent before.

Alexandra leaned against the root of the tree with one leg in her arms.

"Maybe, I don't know."
