In the baseline zone, the albino people sang and danced rarely, and the instruments made from various waste materials began to make unusual sounds at the moment, any single one was pure noise, but when they were assembled in a special order, it became a unique music.

It sounds gloomy, a bit rustic, and there's a hidden violentness, which is actually pretty good, to be fair.

After expressing their emotions for a while, they gradually began to experiment with ceremonial music, which was at Billy's request.

The so-called ceremonial music doesn't sound as good as the country rock that preceded it. Andy sent Sergeant Ralph and Major Fleming away, the corpses of the assassins were enough to quell the suspicion and anger of the citizens of Hoover Dam against the albinists, and at the same time, there was no reason for the Hoover Dam military police to tear up the previous agreement to attack the baseline area, and the hydroelectric generators and new farms would be saved.

Finally, thanks to his efforts, no one was injured except for the evildoer, and although the problem did not change much at all, now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Merely... He had to keep his promise. Andy was being put on a strange dress at this time, this suit is not like a suit, the robe is not like a robe, it is full of damages, stains and patches, looking at this tattered energy, it is estimated that it has been passed down for decades or even hundreds of years, he also asked some albino people about this dress, and the answer he got was that this dress is a dress specially used for newcomers, and it is usually not taken out at all, and it will only be used once in special moments.

He was speechless and let those people continue to dress up him, and continued to think about what had just happened. The Assassin found a number of letters, but most of them were written in secret language that ordinary people could not decipher, and some of them were meaningless, such as a ledger on her body that kept track of her small business, and on it were boring stick figures or short sentences that could not be used to find any in-depth information.

When questioned about her, she said that the motif represented the Ring of Steel, a group that had never been heard of, and that the Brotherhood of Steel had the word steel in its name, but that they definitely didn't have such a nickname.

What is the situation with this group known as the Ring of Steel? From the connection of the patterns, I am afraid that there is some close connection between the two, but why are they distinguished from each other?

Is it because of the differences in internal factions? It is impossible to guess these things by guessing alone, and only Pierre may know something, but only if he wants to say something.

"Look up." Andy looked up obediently, and some strange powder was slapped on his face.

"What is this? ....." Andy wiped it, feeling weird.

"Something that makes you look good, now get the pose right, I've got to continue, time is precious!" A female albino with dry hair anxiously urged, looking at her face, Andy thought to himself that this makeup artist's skills were probably quite average, and he had no expectations for the final product.

As a result, his eyes did not even focus on the mirror, and he continued to wander into the world. Generally speaking, he should be a little nervous, after all, the wedding is a precious moment for most people, and people believe that in an ideal state the wedding should only take place once, so people sincerely wish the two to grow old together, and the love is stronger than gold, and therefore, it can be said that people want to get married for the first time and for the last time.

But for the wastelanders far from the civilized world of the West, the wedding becomes much simpler, and its meaning is far less important.

Any man and woman who look at each other can be a couple on the spot, not many people are willing to waste time on meaningless rituals, and the other half may die in some inexplicable place a few days later due to some inexplicable cause of death, since you know that it will be like this, it is better not to care so much in the first place.

There are also people who are tired of the wandering life, they choose to return to their roots, find a stable situation and friendly neighbors to build their own small house in it, in this case the married man and wife want a representative ceremony, and even go to the local authority to register and get the protection of the law, here is just to refer to the environment of the NcR hinterland, most areas of the wedding registration is just to announce relatives and friends and get blessings.

The rituals of the albino people are quite ancient, Andy guesses, these must be some rules left by their ancestors before the war, the albinos lived in the quiet and stable Hoover Dam, so they attach more importance to the stability and unity of the relationship within the group, and the wedding as a symbol is also related to the union of men and women and the reproduction of the population, the importance of which is self-evident.

But what kind of wedding is the one you're attending now? Andy tugged at the ornament on the bloated collar.

"Can this thing be removed?" The answer is no. He looked at the busy albino people around him, the protagonist of this wedding, Mary Jo, deservedly it, he was just a supporting role, and referring to what she said before, he was not only a supporting role, but even a substitute supporting role.... She couldn't bear to tell Mary Jo that her Mr. Rabbit had turned into a fat rabbit soaked in a cesspool.

If he can, he hopes that the object of his first wedding is the string, although I don't know if she can take a fancy to her now, but sometimes the favorability is proportional to the time spent together, as long as the physical distance is not shortened, the psychological distance will always get closer and closer, and vice versa.

But since the matter has come to this, there is no way to add this imperfection in life, fortunately, he doesn't need to be tied up here for the rest of his life, and the things here will not be spread, Major Fleming and Sergeant Ralph don't have the heart to spread their own gossip, at most they joke with him like they did when they were leaving, claiming that for Andy's sake of promising and asking for peace, Mayor Dodge should be asked to award a Hoover Dam City Peace Medal....

"What are you here, don't.... Smeared it in my face! Andy looked hideous as he dodged the large cloud of strangely colored grease.

He thought, although this situation is not very big in terms of probability, but it can't be said that it is impossible, is it possible for the child in Mary Jo's womb.... As soon as the idea is here, it will be directly stuck, and there is no way to confirm this matter now, and it is best not to confirm it.

"Almost!" The makeup artist had finally let Andy go, and now he felt like his head was getting a little heavier.

In the mirror is a strange person in a strange costume with flowers on his face, and no one will recognize this as Andy without telling others.

"This...."Andy pointed to the mirror and looked at the makeup artist.

"You are—" The makeup artist chuckled.

"Your skin is so dark compared to ours, so I'm going to take it easy, and you're really fit to stand with Mary Jo for the celebration right now, everybody thinks." Andy has doubts about her statement, but anyway, this time it's not really married, it's more like a show with Mary Jo, so since it's an actor in the show, it should be really appropriate to dress like a juggler.... bar.

Walking out of the small room, I saw an albino man carrying a horn made of sloppy tin and blowing a series of noises.

After some pushing and shoving by the people around her, Andy walked to the high platform, Mary Jo had already been dressed, her beautiful pale face had become beautiful with the help of clever cosmetics, her dirty and old wedding dress and the fake flowers in her hands could not hide her beauty, and the albino people under the high stage looked at her, and their mouths were full of admiration from time to time.

When Andy stood up, the crowd erupted in laughter, which immediately convinced Andy that the damn makeup artist had done it on purpose.

Well, he persuaded himself in his heart that it didn't matter, it didn't matter..... Billy, who had changed into a ripped formal suit, was having a hard time moving now because it didn't match his size.

He stepped up to the podium and began to speak.

"Here, thank you relatives and friends, you have given a lot to Little Mary, if it weren't for your help, Little Mary would not have grown to where she is today, now, let us bless her." People sincerely expressed their wishes, and many people gave gifts, most of which were bizarre handicrafts or snacks.

Andy stood aside, none of these things had his share.... The albino band began to play, the accompaniment music changed the key was very strange, and Billy finally couldn't resist the fact that the performers didn't need to reluctantly play the tunes they weren't good at, so they immediately began to play as they pleased, so that the atmosphere of the wedding began to move from solemn and serious at the beginning to Dusty's bar.... Looking at the albinos below, I was even happier, well, just happy.

Billy hands a box to Mary Jo and gives Andy one as well. At the request of the albilist, Andy and Mary Jo exchanged boxes, and when he opened the box, he saw that there was a ring inside, which was estimated to be genuine.

The two of them each put on their own rings, which was a novel experience for Andy, but Mary Jo's ring was obviously much better than his own, and.... There was an albino man staring at him, and it was estimated that he couldn't take the ring with him.

After a round of applause, Billy picked up a broken book and began to read the words.

"God has made you live in the world, so take care of your wife with gentleness and patience, and love her, but dwell with her alone, and build your foundation... What a thing, that's it, to build a good family. Respect her family for your family, and do your duty as a husband for life. Are you willing to do this in front of God and everyone" Andy opened his mouth, a little unable to cross the threshold of his heart.

Billy gave him a snapping look, and Andy replied dryly, "I do." This answer didn't give him

"Father-in-law" was satisfied, and Billy snorted coldly. He turned to look at his daughter, this time in a much softer voice.

"God has made you live in the world, and thou shalt always be meek and dignified, and thou shalt be obedient... Phew, tame this man, love him, help him, only live with him, and build a beautiful family. Respect his family as your own family, do your best to be filial, do your duty as a wife for life, are you willing to do this in front of God and everyone" Mary Jo held the flower and bowed her head and was silent for a moment, then looked up at Andy, the two seemed to be looking at each other, but Andy felt that Mary Jo's eyes were not looking at him.

"I.... Willing. Billy smiled and continued to read the book.

"Now, then, I declare you husband and wife." The albinos cheered, and several people threw confetti into the air.

They had taken out all their food reserves to celebrate the ceremony, and the tables were filled with all sorts of things, some of which seemed to be broken, but were still on them.

With the accompaniment of the song, the celebration gradually turns into a ball, Andy is left to dry, and it can be seen that the albinos care more about Mary Jo, and the ring is indeed taken back, which should be considered an important ancestral reusable prop for them.

It wasn't until late at night that Billy walked up to Andy with Mary Jo.

"Mary said she should let you go." Andy nodded.

"I've done what I could, and you know, it's not fair to me." Billy sneered twice and only returned to his normal state after being shaken by Mary Jo's arm.

"Well, I'm not going to stop you from doing anything where to go, at least Mary has finished her wedding now, if you're going to go then you're good to go, just don't come back." Andy sighed.

"It's not that I want to walk away irresponsibly, I really have a lot of important issues to deal with, and.... And I only have a one-sided relationship with your daughter, if the child can go to the top of the dam to do an appraisal later..."Billy immediately interrupted him.

"Okay, get out of here, don't grind around with me anymore, this child belongs to my daughter, and it doesn't belong to anyone else, so there is no need for any identification! I don't need you anymore, let's go! Don't come back! Mary Jo stops Billy, who looks at Andy with complicated eyes, only to be amused by the funny makeup on Andy's face a moment later.

"Thank you, I have to say this, whether it's for your willingness to participate in this wedding, or for you to help us avoid bloodshed, I know that Mr. Andy you still have a lot of places that you have to go, you can't look like someone who will stay in one place for a long time, I really envy you from the bottom of my heart, and I'm also.... Anyway, thank you. ”................ Andy exited the baseline zone, changing out of the odd gown and washing his face

"Cosmetic". Walking in the center, he felt as if he had lost something this time. There is a huge ditch between love and marriage, and those who can get through it together are lucky, but there are also many people who stumble and get separated along the way, or come back to their senses because they are already on the other end of the spectrum and feel lost.

When men and women get together, they think about each other, not about their children. But the irony is that once they get together, the probability of having children is getting higher and higher, which stems from the nature of biology.

Love originates from instinctive desire, while procreation is mostly a by-product of love. For mothers, it is natural to transfer love from men to children because of the physiological influences, that is, from women to mothers, and their love thus changes from fiery to deep.

But what about the father? Andy shook a handful of water from his hair. When you have a child, the nodes that maintain the relationship between men and women will change from the unstable left and right ends to a stable triangle, and the passion will eventually become dull, and the emotional life will become family life, and there will be countless last resorts.

Luckily, fate didn't mean to settle him somewhere anytime soon, and he still had time to think before this long adventure came to an end.

How's the string being treated at the nursery? Diana said that even if she was in a serious condition, she was sure that she would be able to cure the string, but it would only take some time, but she also said that the string's reproductive organs had suffered a severe attack during the virus infection, and that the new plague virus, especially the original strain, seemed to have been designed in such a way that even if the infected survived, most of them would be sterilized due to the infection, which was irreversible.

However, even so, there is always no way to do more, and with the equipment and technology of the nursery, it is very simple to make a baby out of the test tube.

Just before you actually do that..... There was a cry, and at the same time there was a scolding from a shack in the central area, as if a child was being beaten.

The door was pushed open, and a snotty-faced kid tried to escape, but was dragged back into the house in despair at the last minute.

"I said it a long time ago, you can't play with those bastards! When they grow up, they steal, cheat, rob, and you will go too? I don't want to go to Sheriff Ralph to get the body, you know?! Andy stopped to watch for a moment before the deputy sheriff of the Central District, Mitch, walked over.

"Sheriff Ralph and Major Fleming are waiting for you at the top of the dam."
