Taking Blackie away from Sarah, Andy leaves Fort Maxson with a bag of food on his back and sits back on his Atomic Hummer.

"Mesa Verde .... It's been a long time. ”

Looking at the map markings on the Pip-Boy, Andy recalls the last time he and Kurisu left for Mesa Verde from the Blackfoot Tribe, where they encountered Alexandra and Blackjack in a tense confrontation, and then witnessed the Hecate Hound slaughtering the villagers of the Crypto Tribe. At that time, he took advantage of an unstable cliff in front of the Crypto Village and a plasma mine in the warehouse of the Crypto Village to destroy the Hecate Hounds who were trying to besiege the Crypto Tribe and wait for an opportunity to launch a slaughter.

It still takes a little time to drive from the valley where Fort Maxson is located to Mesa Verde, about two to three days.

After a little day in the valley, I watched the twilight begin to fall and the surroundings began to become terrifying as the darkness spread.

"Whew————"

A loud wolf howl.

Andy looked up at the top of the cliff, where he could faintly see a majestic brown wolf standing, its hair was unkempt, and its wolf eyes were full of coldness.

It's a pure beast.

There was a rumbling sound in the distance, and Andy turned on the headlights to take a closer look, and saw that it was a herd of bighorn sheep galloping towards him.

The beasts ran wild with terror on their faces.

Facing this group of sheep that have gone crazy because of fear, Andy frantically shook the steering wheel left and right to dodge, these bighorn sheep have very hard and huge horns on their skulls, and in the event of a head-on collision, it is very likely to cause terrible damage to the atomic Humvee, one is the car is destroyed and the sheep die, and then the wolves will inevitably follow, they will not care whether they eat sheep or people for dinner today.

In the midst of the confusion, a bighorn sheep slammed headlong into a rock, and blood splattered everywhere.

With the help of the headlights, Andy could see a pair of wolf eyes glowing with cyan light on the periphery of the flock, revealing cold malice like a group of demons, they formed a pocket without hurry, forcing the bighorn sheep to flee for their lives deeper into the narrower valley, and the lone and backward individuals were immediately torn to pieces by the wolves, and the smell of blood stimulated the bighorn sheep in front of them to run faster.

Seeing that the sheep were getting denser, Andy had to find a rock and park the car behind him to take shelter.

There were two forks in the valley, one was the road where Andy came, which had been blocked by the brown wolf who had been howling on the cliff with a pack of wolves, and the other was the direction in which the wolves drove the sheep.

Soon after the bighorn sheep were driven into the fork in the road by the wolves, there was a mournful sheep cry, and then the whole flock fell into confusion, and the bighorn sheep that ran at the front turned around and turned back, while the ones behind were still rushing forward desperately, and suddenly many bighorn sheep collided with each other, and after a loud bang, they both fell to the ground motionless.

Andy sat in the Atomic Humvee and watched the wolves start to enjoy the feast without hurrying, and at the same time, he was a little curious, what was at the end of that fork in the road, so that the sheep were trapped and died here, could it be just a dead end or simply a cliff?

Just as he was guessing, a strange wolf howl came from the end of the fork in the road, this wolf howl was extremely penetrating, although it was far away, it was still as if it could penetrate the soul and could not be ignored.

"Whew———— woo ——————!"

The sound echoed through the valley, and even the wolves that were frantically biting their prey stopped their mouths and raised their heads to howl in response.

Andy stared in the direction of the voice, and a moment later, a huge deathclaw-like figure slowly approached.

Under the illumination of the headlights, a pair of large terrifying cyan eyes and the outline of the body several times larger than ordinary people emerged, and the slender mouth of this terrifying existence grinned, dripping saliva.

It's hard to describe the feeling of this moment.

It is supposed to be a wolf, but it is a big exaggeration, it is said that occasionally there are witnesses of a large individual in the wolf pack as a wolf king-like existence to dominate the entire wolf pack, but the one in front of me is not so much a wolf king as it is almost a wolf monster, its upper body stands upright, revealing rock-like muscles, its forelimbs wave in the air, and its sharp claws tear the belly of a bighorn sheep alive.

Or rather.... Werewolf?

Andy didn't want to look any further, some wolves had already noticed his presence, quickly turned off the headlights and turned on Hull's night vision mode, and the atomic Humvee roared and crushed several brown wolves who couldn't dodge.

The whimpering sound of the brown wolves attracted the attention of the werewolf who was gobbling it up, and it threw the half-gnawed leg of lamb in its hand to the ground and howled angrily.

All of a sudden, wolves howled throughout the valley, and the terrifying sound shook Andy's head.

Andy had nothing to say, he stepped on the accelerator and fled forward, and in night vision mode, the rearview mirror was densely packed with reflective wolf eyes, and the largest pair was rapidly approaching.

A rock flew over and slammed into the back hull of the Atomic Humvee, then bounced off.

This test of life and death lasted for half an hour, until the wolves gave up because it was difficult to catch up and stop the atomic Humvee.

....................

As the sun began to rise over the horizon, Andy tiredly parked the Atomic Humvee, and the little black in the back seat was surprisingly quiet, and the terrible wolf seemed to terrify him.

Glancing back at the valley behind him, Andy was terrified of what had happened last night, dozens of ferocious brown wolves were about to attack from all directions, and the biggest guy could violently overthrow the atomic Humvee. In the dark environment, the hit rate of V mode is greatly reduced, and the brown wolves with amazing bite force will start to tear hard once they bite the target, and Hull can't help him, Xiao Hei's help is even negligible in this level of battle, and there is no safe commanding height in the valley.

His best bet was to run, and if the group chased them out of the valley, he would have a chance of a successful counterattack.

Glancing at the back seat of the little black huddled in a ball, if he had teammates in the car, he could at least use the .50 machine gun to try to push the brown wolves back as he escaped.

In desperation, Andy reclined the seat and locked the car door, and slept in a secluded place.

In the confusion, he always felt that someone on his right side was waving at him.

He turned his head to see that the speed of the man's wave immediately increased, and then suddenly staggered to pounce on him, and this sudden change woke Andy from his sleep.

"Scared!"

Andy sat up in the car and saw Blackie let out a shrill growl in the direction of the unknown waving man in his sleep.

He looked through the window and saw a large bag in the soft soil full of weeds.

“.......”

He stared at the big bag and remembered that there didn't seem to be such a thing last night.

After getting out of the car, Andy walked cautiously with Glock 86 and the python, and after stepping on two feet, the dirt bag shattered, and a black hole appeared in the ground all of a sudden.

Something seems to be moving inside....

A dark shadow suddenly poked out of it, and Andy jumped sideways to see that it was a pincer with a heavy carapace.

The giant black and red radscorpion poked its head out of the hole, but Andy didn't plan to run away this time.

With V mode on, Andy locked onto the radscorpion's face, and according to the weakness analysis of V mode, it was the most effective part of the attack, followed by its arthropod joints.

Glock 86 was lifted and pulled the trigger, and after a short delay it shot a green plasma, although the flight speed was not as fast as the bullet that flew out of the barrel after the primer detonated, but its extremely high temperature dissolved the radiant scorpion's face that lacked carapace protection the moment it touched the scorpion, making its underdeveloped main ganglion instantly turn into a pool of green water, and the subsequent chain reaction broke out instantly, a rolling green flame raged from the inside out, the high temperature made its carapace discolored and deformed, and then cracked a crack, There was melted flesh flowing out.

It twitched involuntarily, and then shattered like a building block that had lost its support, all but a few fragments of the exoskeleton turned into a pool of radioactive green slime.

Andy was surprised by the power of this energy weapon, although the python could directly smash the monster's head if it hit with a fatal blow, but it was impossible to make it completely decompose into mud, if the shot just now was a laser fired with an automatic charging pistol, it might also be able to inflict a heavy blow on this radscorpion, but it couldn't instantly disintegrate its ability to act, it was worse than a giant python.

Before he could finish his taste, Blackie's cry dragged him back, and this time it reversed course.

Andy looked to the side, and another giant radscorpion had emerged from the ground.

.....................

The Atomic Humvee set off again, several puddles of exploding green congealed juice left behind, mixed with some scorpion carapaces.

Leaving the valley infested with brown wolves, Andy felt as if he had plunged headlong into a colony of scorpions.

As the sun rose, the scorpions' desire to hunt diminished, and they buried themselves in the ground to form dirt bags, unmoved unless something disturbed their rest.

The journey of the second day was still uneventful, and most of the mutated creatures did not move on the hottest day, although driving against the hot sun was painful, but fortunately there were no people in the way. Any creature knows how to take advantage of the good and avoid the bad, and the cool and pleasant night is better for hunting than the day, when the skin and flesh can be roasted black, when the prey is more abundant and can preserve the water in the body.

After pouring a sip of water, Andy decided that he must do the opposite, trying to travel during the day and find a place to rest at night, so as to avoid the activities of those wasteland creatures and avoid a lot of trouble.

There was a rusty robot on the side of the road, which looked to be broken, and I couldn't understand why such a guy existed in this middle country.

A red laser suddenly appeared in the air.

Andy stopped the car and saw a man in a white robe not far from the fallen scrap robot, using a pistol that shoots red lasers against several swollen flies.

The laser shot from the gun in his hand is strong and weak, and the direction changes, although Andy has not used it himself, but even if he looks at it from the sidelines, he knows that this thing is very difficult to use, it is simply a casual shooting, if you are lucky, a shot in the head from dozens of meters away, and if you are unlucky, it will be crooked when you shoot in the face, and it is really unreliable as a weapon.

The mutant flies, about the size of a human head, hovered in swarms in the air to attack, shooting something from the end of their abdomen, moving to dodge the lasers and using the projectiles to fight back.

The white-robed man dodged left and right a few times before finally getting hit, and he fell to the ground with a scream, one arm bleeding, and the laser gun in his hand fell to the side.

Beneath the robe was a coolly dressed young Buraku man, Andy took a look at it and immediately opened the car door and pulled out his twin guns.

"Bang-"

“biu——”

The python and Glock 86 in their hands fired in V mode, accurately turning one fly into green water, and the other fly bloomed all over the sky, and the foul-smelling body fluids in its body and the remaining maggots in its abdomen splashed everywhere with the explosion of its body.

Xiao Hei rushed out of the car to run quickly, and then jumped to pounce on a swollen fly from the air, tearing its head and wings apart in a few bites, and then threw the remaining insect corpse aside in disgust, and after a while, the larvae in the stomach of the mutant insect burst out of the abdomen because of the stress reaction after the death of the mother, and the fly maggot with a sharp and hard head like a bullet shook its head and poked its head out.

The other swollen flies scattered and fled when they saw the situation.

Andy quickly walked over to the sore bumper who was rolling on the ground, and after looking at his face, he confirmed that he was not mistaken, and sure enough, it was the crypto tribesman who had a relationship with Jericho before.

"Calm down!"

The young man was thrashing from the sharp pain in his arm, and Andy could understand that the swollen fly was one of the most common and disgusting mutated insects in the wasteland, and its name of course came from its swollen body, which was filled with acidic, foul-smelling bodily fluids, which caused its body to explode like a piece of stool stuffed with artillery if it died from an external blow.

This mutant insect seems to be hermaphroditic, any one has the ability to reproduce, its habit is to attack the enemy before sexual maturity by spraying acidic venomous body fluids secreted by the glands in the body from the end of the abdomen, once fully developed, it can directly generate a large number of larvae in the body, that is, the kind of fly maggots with hard heads, these larvae accumulate in the body of swollen flies and rely on the mother's nutrition to survive for a period of time, but they will soon be used as bullets by the mother to shoot prey.

Andy took out a boil from the beep-x arm and grabbed the battery and injected him, and after the drug took effect, because of the severe pain, the battery finally recovered from the previous epileptic state, wiping his face with snot and tears and begging Andy for help.

"It hurts! It hurts! Woo..."

Ignoring the battery's incoherent words for a moment, Andy took a dagger from the beep-boy and shook his head after glancing at the rust on it.

"Do you have a knife on you? It's best for you to use the food solution! ”

Battery trembled and took out a very short knife from the small leather bag on his waist, very clean and sharp, which is usually carried by the nomadic tribesmen of the east, in order to facilitate the quick processing of meat after the hunt, to chop large pieces of meat or scrape pieces of meat off the bone, Andy took the knife and cauterized it with a cigarette lighter, pulled the battery's injured arm, and then stepped on his palm with one foot.

"You know, I had to do it, and any more of it could be serious."

Without waiting for the horrified battery to say anything, he stabbed into the wound of the arm that was squirming slightly.

After a moment of silence, the thing hiding in the flesh of the battery's arm suddenly began to struggle.

The screams did not stop for a long time.
