"Come out!" Two Hoover Dam cops raise pistols in their hands.

"It's an ultimatum, come out!" An unknown figure hiding in a dilapidated shack in the center responded to the two police officers with an insult.

The two policemen looked at each other, and one of them kicked open the door made of broken iron, and then the two rushed into it without hesitation, emptying the magazine, and the man who was hiding in the corner with a gun was shot instantly.

The bloody corpse was dragged out of the shed, leaving a terrible blood mark. Since the attempted assassination of the Dodge Mayor by assassins claiming to be cavemen at the top of the dam, the police of the entire Hoover Dam have been mobilized, turning over the dark and rotten central area, many people with ghosts in their hearts have been caught, and the campaign has even helped the police solve several old unsolved cases, and also found some unknown corpses that were hidden by the way.

Sheriff Ralph stood in the center and watched the policemen search around, they made the chickens and dogs jump here, Deputy Sheriff Mitch Stiller stood behind him aggrievedly, every arrested suspect and every case found was like a big, they were slapping him in the face, these things can show his incompetence better than any words, not to mention that many citizens of the central area have derogatory Mickey in passing when expressing their praise for Sheriff Ralph's clean-up operation.

Looking at Sheriff Ralph's darkening face, Mickey was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. Major Fleming has given an order to the NcR army that no soldier shall obstruct the police search, and no soldier shall violate the law or do anything that damages the image of the army in the central area during the search, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law.

As a result, there are no more groups here that can disturb the police.

"I didn't do anything illegal!!" The toad, which had been tied up with a rope, was pushed out by the police, and one of the officers kicked it into the knee socket, causing it to fall to its knees with a groan.

Sheriff Ralph gave him a contemptuous look, this smuggler's reputation has reached the point where everyone knows about it, and a smart person should have figured out where to hide next, but this idiot is still running the black market in the central area as usual, since this crime is in his hands, even if he seems to have something to do with a certain officer, he can't continue to turn a blind eye this time.

"Really? Then the large pile of goods we found that have not been formally vetted must not be yours, right? None of your little brother's confessions are true, right? Those consumers who were caught were not right? Sheriff Ralph stared at the toad's eyes for a moment with flat eyes, and said something in the same flat tone.

"Pull to the top of the dam and shoot." Before the sweaty toad could continue to say anything, Sheriff Ralph waved his hand, and the two policemen dragged the toad away by both arms, and the toad howled as he kicked his legs.

When the last area was searched by the police, and no one suspected of being the assassin of the day was found, and now in front of Sergeant Ralph were the ones they had found: three semi-unidentified bodies, two bodies of those who had been shot dead on the spot after violently resisting the police, most of the smuggling gang, including the smuggler leader Toad, and a large number of suspects who had been or were now being accused by residents of rape, murder, robbery, theft, brawls, etc.

After this sweep, it was believed that the law and order environment in the central area would be stable for a long time to come, but the corpses and the people who were captured were confirmed not to be the assassins.

Sheriff Ralph frowned, since she couldn't find the person in the center, she must be in the baseline zone. Because the citizens of the Central District had attacked the cavemen many times under the instigation and leadership of some of the leaders, they have now closed the entrance to the baseline area in the central area.

This made it difficult for Sergeant Ralph, who had no friendship with the albinists, and with such tensions, it was impossible for the police to be allowed to enter the baseline area to search, and if the army were to be brought in, the situation would soon turn into a massacre.

So now he and the police are standing in front of the blockade set up by the albinos, which is actually a mountain of garbage piled up with a lot of debris, and this garbage mountain is connected to the interior only by a few small gaps.

Andy, who had just exchanged the salt ghost's head for a bottle cap from Bob, also walked to the front of the crowd, and he had dealt with the albino inside, and he couldn't watch it.

"Hey! Let's talk! Sheriff Ralph shouted inside, and it took a few moments for a slurred response to come from inside.

"Talk... What to talk about, you talk about ... Sheriff Ralph endured a headache and listened to the albino stammering and stammering with a serious accent from the crack in the garbage heap, and he wanted to just rush in for a while.

Major Fleming, who was accompanied by soldiers, had long since lost his patience.

"Let me rush right in, they won't have time to do anything, before they destroy the public property of Hoover Dam City, they will be wiped out by us, we will completely clean up Hoover Dam and catch that damn assassin out." Andy saw that the situation was about to become irreparable, and hurriedly stood up.

"Wait, I've dealt with them before, let me try, maybe there's room for this to turn around, even if one of those hydroelectric generators breaks down, it's an unacceptable loss for the Hoover Dam." Major Fleming was noncommittal and made a gesture of please.

Andy settled down and ran to the crack and shouted inside.

"I'm Andy! Do you hear me? The guy who helped you get Mary Jo back, I want to talk to your dad Billy, is he there? It's really important, you have to let me in and talk, it's a big deal! This time the voices inside were silent for a while, as usual, and suddenly, the garbage heap was moved out of a path that could barely be accessed.

Andy tells Sheriff Ralph and Major Fleming not to send out men to storm it, and then cautiously squeezes in.

As soon as he entered, several firearms pressed against his head. The thin albino man glared at Andy, then motioned for the others to see if there was anyone else behind him, and quickly returned the garbage heap to its original state.

"These things can't help you stop them, and if they really want to come in, they can easily do it." Andy glanced at the vigilant albino people around him, and they stared at Andy with strange expressions.

"You're... This guy, you... You, you.... Put Mary Joe..."Because the accent was too heavy and the stuttering was too severe, Andy couldn't understand what the hell this man was saying.

Anyway, a moment later, the thin man asked the others to take Andy to Daddy Billy, which was in line with Andy's request, so he didn't resist and let the albino take him away.

In a lit room with a campfire in the dimly damp Baseline Zone, Daddy Billy, the leader of the Albino Brothers, was cooking a fire with a few other men, each clutching their guns and looking ready for battle.

When Andy was brought in, all eyes were on him, but it wasn't the suspicion or indifference he expected, but... An indescribable weird feeling.

The albinos escorting Andy put away their guns and stepped aside. Andy craned his neck and looked at the silent people in front of him, since they weren't going to speak, he had to speak first.

"Billy, remember me?" A bearded Billy's big eyes stared at Andy, if the other albino people looked at Andy strangely, then Billy's eyes were as angry as looking at the enemy, this is something that Andy couldn't understand, the relationship between him and Billy was not very good, but he was the one who came forward to bring Billy's daughter Mary Jo back, although this was a quid pro quo, but it wasn't enough to stare at himself with this kind of eyes, right?

Seeing that Billy didn't answer, Andy had no choice but to continue talking on his own.

"The situation you are facing now is extremely dangerous, and if you don't get it right, all of you will face a life-and-death crisis. I ask you, Billy, do you know what happened on the surface a few days ago? Billy spat on the ground.

"I never cared about what happened to your surface waste, I just knew that in the past few days, there have been surface waste with guns trying to break into our place and making a lot of noise, hum.... I know, I know what you bad breeds are thinking, you finally want to kick us out of our last home, right? You sent those scumbags who came to make trouble, and if we do it, you will use this as a reason to attack. But we didn't do it, so you can't wait, am I right? Before Andy could reply, Billy laughed fiercely.

"Let me tell you, we have no way out now, whoever dares to expel us, we will fight with him to the last man, those hydroelectric generators have already installed bombs, just need me to move my fingers lightly, you surface waste will not think of electricity in the future, and your new vegetable field, of course, will be blown to pieces!" Andy sighed wistfully, explaining what had happened as concisely as possible.

"A few days ago, an Assassin almost killed Mayor Dodge, and the Assassin claimed to be one of you, and now you tell me, did you plan this?" Billy grinned.

"Why didn't it work out? It's a shame that I don't care if your surface waste head is dead or alive, and as things stand, that Dodge mayor might as well be dead. However, we don't care to lie, and since you asked, I'll answer you, we haven't had any members out lately, and it's impossible for a single surface waste to do that for us, that's my answer. ”

"Why don't you stupid surface wastes think about how we can swagger out and assassinate your mayor every time we go out, some of you will attack us with all sorts of nasty words and actions when they see our physical features? Wouldn't it have been exposed before then? And you don't even understand this, ridiculous. Andy breathed a sigh of relief, although Billy's presupposition also had loopholes, such as the fact that the assassins among them could disguise themselves and then sneak out to avoid attracting attention, but at least judging by the attitude expressed by Billy, there was a high probability that this assassination had nothing to do with them.

"Then let me ask you another question, Billy, did you ever allow a woman into the baseline zone before this storm began? Or that woman may also disguise herself as a man, in short.... Have you ever allowed outsiders into the baseline zone, and she's never left it? Billy's eyes burned as he looked at Andy, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and for some reason he was a little impatient.

"No, no, no, I said no! Except for the farmer and you, no surface waste has ever entered our territory, and none of them have ever left here! I've had enough of this stupid question! He put a machine gun on the ground on his shoulder.

"I've already answered two of your questions, and now you have to answer me two questions too, you can't refuse, or I'll shoot, you know?" Andy's fingers shrunk, if he wanted, he could use V mode to kill everyone here in an instant, as for the rest of the albinos were also in danger, he didn't know who the detonator of those explosives was, presumably it was also in Billy's hands, he didn't have a chance to press the button, and the albino race in the baseline area of the Hoover Dam would be killed by Andy before that, and it would disappear.

But at the thought of Mary Jo, the killing intent in his heart immediately subsided. Taking a deep breath, Andy regained his composure.

"Okay, you ask." Billy's first question took Andy by surprise.

"I ask you, have you and my daughter, Mary Jo, ever had one? Well? Andy didn't expect Billy to ask this question, it was undoubtedly an embarrassing question, and the facts were more embarrassing to him than the question itself, how could he answer it?

The strange eyes of the people around him suddenly had a reasonable explanation, and Billy's strange attitude instantly became reasonable.

He was still lucky, and felt that he couldn't just do it.

"Who told you that?" Billy yelled angrily, and the spit in his mouth flew out.

"If you still feel like a leader, use your dignity as a man as the bottom line, and think about the answer.... Then, back! Answer! I! Target! Ask! Title! When Andy heard this, he knew that it was useless to quibble or go around in circles, most likely Mary Jo confessed.

"What if I say yes?" There was a moment of silence around him, and Billy lowered the machine gun on his shoulder, then took off the rag hat from his head and slammed it to the ground, and he lunged at Andy, punching him in the face.

The punch was so heavy that Andy staggered and took a step back, and Hull sounded an alarm in the back of his neck and automatically gave Andy a therapeutic injection.

Andy shook his head, looked up at Billy, and grabbed his second punch with his hand, their muscles tensed in mid-air, but in the end, Billy couldn't help Andy, and his fist was caught there and couldn't continue to carry out the old father's beating.

"It's just a matter of wishful thinking, your daughter has grown up a long time ago, and she should be seen as an adult who can take responsibility for herself, and...."He thought for a moment, and talking about Mary Jo's work at Dusty's Lust Bar in the center would be like adding fuel to the fire for the current tense situation, so it was better not to say it.

"Besides, I can understand your thoughts, you say, what do you want?" Billy pumped his fist back, the anger in his eyes unabated, Andy vaguely felt that something was not right, and that it might not be that simple.

"You ask me, what do I want? Okay, I have a question for you, so now answer my second question. He pointed with his finger, and all the albinos around him raised their weapons at Andy, looking at this stance, but if Billy snorted, they would not hesitate to pull the trigger and shoot Andy.

"This second question, I ask you, would you like to marry Mary Jo? If you dare to say half a word, you will die! Andy froze in place, the first thing he felt was a word: ridiculous, this thing was so bizarre that he didn't know how to react for a while, but then his heart suddenly shrank, and a strong bad omen instantly spread in his brain, a father with a daughter suddenly asked another man if he had been in close contact with his daughter, and then asked that man to marry his daughter, which can only be a possibility.
