"It hurts! ——”

The bald woman rolled on the ground with her mutilated arm, Andy put down the rhinoceros in his hand, this weapon inferior to the python has always been reliable in terms of long-range accuracy, just breaking the weapon in her hand and most of her arms is already merciful, the main reason is that her head is one of the goals of this mission, if it is broken, it is not good, who would want to pay for a pile of rotten meat and bones.

The leader turned his head back and forth in horror.

Andy looked at him indifferently, he couldn't leave empty-handed no matter what.

"Your companions don't seem to be very kind to me, it's okay, I can help them fix that."

Now the boss finally realized the seriousness of the matter, just now Andy had no room to react from the time he pulled out the gun to the time he shot himself, and he didn't realize what was going on until the gunshot rang in his ears, and it was not surprising that those restless guys would want to sneak attack secretly, but...

"Wait!"

The leader took out his shotgun and held it in his hand.

"Do you do things for reservations? For what? I also have bottle caps here... Or we can give you a part of the goods, this shotgun is a new product from the reserve, the quality is very good, I can give you a copy if you want, or... Are you still working as a bounty hunter? Why don't you come with me, how about we go and do something more profitable? ”

Andy looked at the gun in his hand, it was a riot shotgun, presumably from Hank.

"No, I have the same model in my hand, earning bottle caps is just by the way, the important thing is that my car is stuck in quicksand, and only the reserve can help me rescue, what am I doing now.... You're still working as a bounty hunter, but what are you doing now? Merchant? Thief? Brigand? ”

In the face of this kind of questioning, the leader was a little speechless for a while, and several people in the cave behind him shouted and hurled insults at Andy with guns until they were stopped by the leader shouting.

"I also have a way to rescue your car, you give me some time, and I'll find a few more people to drive a few more cars to pull your car out of the sand."

Andy didn't pay much attention to him, and frankly said that the so-called acquaintance in front of him was only a one-sided acquaintance.

"How much time does it mean to give you some time?" Where do you go to find a car? What if you don't come back? ”

The leader's forehead was covered with sweat, judging by the hand just now, this evil star in front of him could slaughter his own team in the blink of an eye, this situation is extremely dangerous now, and it seems that playing hard doesn't work....

"Maybe a week, maybe two weeks, if you don't believe it, we can go on the road together, there are car sellers in Phoenix, they buy car parts from all over the place to make modified cars, we used to be good friends, have you forgotten? Oh my God, what the hell did those NcRs do to you in prison? Did they beat you to the head with a baton and make you amnesia? ”

Andy couldn't help but recall when he said this, the memory he could be sure of was the earliest from being arrested and interrogated by NcR, at that time he still had some information vaguely in his mind, but before he had time to think about it, a codE brain wave from the robot sent by Odysseus hit his head on the spot and lost consciousness, and then when he woke up in cell 13 of Tibbetts Prison, most of those looming memories were there.... It evaporated, only a few fragments that occasionally appeared in the dream.

In this way, Odysseus is probably to blame for his amnesia.

Aside from all these thoughts, Andy didn't have any trust in the man in front of him.

"You know how ridiculous you are."

The leader swore that he began to woo.

"Why, we can do something bigger together, such as forming our own gang to co-opt those stragglers in the wasteland, it's only a matter of time before you make a fortune with your skills, you can only make a move when it's critical, I'll help you deal with those dirty and troublesome things, remember what we talked about before? You may not remember it anymore, but I can tell you again now: you can be a powerful boss... Bottle caps, medicines, women, everything, why bother being a bounty hunter who runs errands for others all the time..."

Andy shook his head slowly but firmly.

"Enough, I'm not interested in being a marauder, I like to be a bounty hunter, put away all your nonsense, now I have..."

A scream came from the cave, and the marauders who were hiding inside scattered in all directions, and the bald woman, who was unable to move from her injuries and blood loss, screamed in despair as she saw a huge monster coming out of the cave and walked in front of her.

"Again..."

The leader looked at the cave in bewilderment, and at the same moment several gunshots rang out from his side, and the marauders who had fled into the desert did not run a few steps before they fell to the ground.

Andy looked at the monster that came out of the inside of the cave, just now he shot at a few people who escaped, the heads of those people are the key to this mission, and they can't be located without collars, one or two can still ensure that they can catch up, three people running together in three directions will inevitably chase and lose a few, if there are too many targets lost, the reserve side will not necessarily recognize this result, in that case, wouldn't it be a trip in vain.

A yellow-skinned death claw slowly raised its right hand, and two slaves were stuck in the black claws of astonishing length at the moment, as if showing strength, after shaking the slaves stuck in the claws, the wasteland monster casually threw the corpse aside, and the slaves who were pierced through the body were terrified.

The shell of a nuclear car may be able to keep radscorpions at bay, but for deathclaws, the rusty metal shells shredder as soon as they are torn.

"Nope! No! ”

The bald woman with the broken arm crawled and tried to escape, but was grabbed by the death claws behind her, and it deliberately threw the woman towards the sky in a playful manner, and then pointed the sharp claws upwards, and when she screamed and fell, her body was pierced by the claws.

"Oh my God, my God.... This..."

The leader's mouth began to babble with fright, but Andy on the side did not move.

Deathclaw, I've seen a lot, and it's not that I haven't killed it.

This monster is terrifying in its lethality at close range, moving incredibly fast, brutal, never giving up on chasing its target easily, and quite irritable, and any noise will make them go into a frenzy.

Looking at the huge, erect monster wagging its tail slightly, a twitching corpse in one hand slowly walking towards the two, the horned triangular head has a pair of eyes full of malice and anger, the two horns are thick and long, one of which has broken for some reason, giving its ferocious image a touch of savagery.

It gracefully shook off the clawed corpse and let out a deafening roar at the two.

The leader was so frightened that his teeth trembled and gurgled, and he turned and began to run.

Andy glanced at him and didn't care, anyway, he couldn't run far alone, if he wanted to chase after him, he would be able to catch up in a while, and was about to take out the Hekat anti-materiel sniper rifle and shoot the monster's head, but he suddenly wanted to try, if he didn't use a firearm, could he kill this monster?

Slowly putting away his weapon, just as Andy moved his neck towards the deathclaw, the monster was suddenly attracted by the fleeing marauder leader, and it sped forward in a two-legged leap, catching up with him and slashing with its arms stretched forward.

"Ahh ——”

The hole in his back was torn open, blood shot out, and he lay motionless on the ground.

The deathclaw, whose hands were covered with blood, turned his head defiantly to look at Andy, but he didn't see him panicked, he just stood there and shook his fingers, and took the initiative to walk towards the deathclaw.

This attitude stunned Deathclaw for a moment, and then caused it to rage.

"Roar! ————”

Opening its bloody mouth, its snake-like tongue and sharp teeth were on display, it spread out its arms and stretched out all its sharp claws and ran towards Andy.

At the moment when the two sides were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Andy turned on the V mode and teleported to the side of Deathclaw, avoiding its sharp claws, and assuming a pose to make a move to retreat Papa.

The Deathclaw staggered back two steps, its head flickering, seemingly unresponsive to what had just happened.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Andy was slightly disappointed, in the end, it was a large-sized enemy, and the effect of this move was not as good as imagined, so what about the other move?

The angry deathclaw suddenly plunged a hand into the sand, and suddenly raised a piece of sand, which was not the level of those slippery bandits, the deathclaw threw the sand over from Andy's point of view, almost obscuring the sky, and the sand thrown at high speed hit his face with a crackling sound, forcing Andy to raise his arm to block.

In the sand, claws tore at it.

Deathclaw flicked its claws a few times, staring at the sand in front of him in a daze.

Andy was standing not far away, and even if he couldn't see Hull, he could help in time and tell him where to hide, which was still very simple.

Raising the riot shotgun, he fired at the swooping deathclaw, the powerful fire of the shotgun suppressed it fiercely, and finally the deathclaw was shot in the knee and fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he turned on the V mode again, teleported in front of the deathclaw, and aimed at the deathclaw's head and posed with a move to bang Papa.

"Ahh ——”

The punch hit Deathclaw's head straight into the head, and its remaining horns were directly interrupted by the punch, and Deathclaw covered its head with a wail, unable to open one of its eyes.

Andy shook his fist, this thing's head was really hard and outrageous, his whole hand was aching, if it was to go all out to beat it, risk being torn off his armor and body by the claws, especially with the help of V mode, killing a deathclaw with his bare hands was almost no problem for him now, if he used the Hercules gloves, it would be even simpler.

Looking down, he saw a long-haired male lying on the sand, his weapons scattered around him.

It should be said that it is a small knife, and it looks like a knife before the Great War, to be precise, it is a kind of kitchen utensil, and it is mostly used to cut steak or butter, and it is rare to keep it sharp until now.

Picking up the knife, Andy casually threw it up and down as he walked towards the deathclaw that covered his face and screamed.

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

The leader woke up from his coma and opened his eyes to see Andy sitting next to him.

He got up in horror, the sharp pain in his back directly forced him back into place, Andy pointed in one direction, he looked over and saw that there was a deathclaw lying motionless on the ground, its two horns were all broken and missing, it seemed that the head was a little funny, one eye was broken, and the other eye was deeply inserted into a butter knife, it seemed that this was the cause of its death.

Several pieces of flesh had been cut off from the soft belly and firm legs, which were now roasted on the fire.

The barbecue was so fragrant that he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"Your buddies are all dead, and I've taken back the goods you stole from the reservation."

Andy made a chirp sound as he ate the roasted deathclaw meat.

The leader covered his face and didn't know what to say, this trip was in vain.

"And what do you want to do with me now?"

Andy looked at him and pointed to a box that had been thrown beside him.

"I didn't take all the rest of your dirt, these are left to you, you should be able to carry it alone, and the treatment needles injected to you will be regarded as an exchange, for the sake of the two of us who knew each other before, when you are healed, get out of the house quickly, never come back and keep it around, I believe you will choose this way."

The leader opened the box and looked at it, and if he brought these back, he could barely make some money, but he didn't make much.

"Are you really not interested in what I'm saying?"

Andy snorted and didn't answer the question.

"If you're not going to change careers, then you'd better pray that you don't run into me again."

It was already the next morning, and after a brief tidying up, Andy left facing the rising sun, and after Andy left, the head lying on the ground struggled to get up, he looked around the dead monster for a while in disbelief, and then slowly walked to the cave, and saw several corpses with their heads cut off.

He can only accept this reality, and he will go alone for the rest of the road.

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

Andy returned to the reservation with his belongings, first selling the extra stolen goods from Hank, earning a thousand bottle caps, which were originally carried by seven people, and he took most of them away, which was already full of weight, thanks to his great strength and the storage function of the Pip-Boy regardless of the volume of the items.

He then returned all the stolen items from the reservation to the measles, along with two slave collars and four heads.

After Measles counted all the belongings, he carefully asked Andy about what had happened.

"Well, I've seen it, and there's no problem with those heads, so what about the one that leads it?"

Faced with his questioning, Andy pulls out a bloodied and torn piece of leather armor.

"The man had been completely torn apart by deathclaws, and all he had brought back was this garment."

Measles looked at the leather armor and finally accepted it.

"Horatio was going to give you a total of 500 caps, but I said that was too picky, so now I'll give you caps according to the number of heads, five heads... Sort of, I'll give you a total of 2,500 caps. ”

Andy took the bottle cap and earned more than 3,000 bottle caps on this trip, which can be regarded as making up for the deficit in his wallet.

Measles stood up and solemnly asked Andy to follow him, and the two of them left Measles' shack and walked towards the metal gate to the north.

"From today, Andy, you are officially a member of the reservation, you are the first slippery skin to be officially given this status in so many years, and the first slippery skin to walk through this door openly as a member, this is very special, I will arrange for you to meet my father, and he will tell you other things when the time comes."

Horatio happened to be leading a group of new slaves to enter the door, who had no radiation suits to wear on the way to the slave traders, and who had been exposed to radiation sickness from the strong radiation near the reservation, so he looked sick, and after a few words of measles, he simply nodded to Andy, and did not say anything.

The gate slowly opened, and under the gaze of the surrounding ghouls, Andy saw the real reservation behind the northern gate of the trade area.

Behind the gate is a wide flat area, with some pre-war buildings in poor condition in the distance, and asphalt roads that stretch to the north and west, which have been completely damaged and have obviously not been properly repaired and rebuilt after more than two hundred years, and are full of cracks, which look full of potholes and dents after being badly eroded by the wind and sand and discolored by the sun.

The two asphalt roads were littered with all sorts of military vehicles that had long since been turned into scrap metal, including jeeps, armored vehicles, tanks, and even the wreckage of an aircraft with an astonishing wingspan in the distance, with a visual wing length of more than ten meters.

Empty, deserted, dilapidated, old....

Andy frowned and looked ahead.

Is this a reservation?
