In the desert outside the reservation, a rickety old crane slowly lifts the atomic Humvee out of the quicksand after tying the rope, as if it were picking up a small rock from the water.

Gillian, Andy, and Measles were standing not far away watching.

"Yes, yes, a little further left..."

Andy stretched out his arms and commanded, this car is his treasure, not only the car itself gives him a strong ability to travel long distances, but also the car is stuffed with all kinds of supplies, everything that can't fit in the beep boy is in the car, and there is even a T-45 power armor on the welded fixed frame at the back of the car.

Speaking of power armor...

When the atomic Humvee was slowly hoisted in mid-air, only the sound of metal breaking, the fixed frame behind the car actually broke, and the heavy power armor fell straight into the quicksand from the air like a stone, and disappeared after a while....

"No!! ——”

Andy shouted, the knight ration he had received from Fort Maxson had only been spent on the training ground for two sessions so far, and he had run away from his hands before he could finish his work.

"Oh, that's sad."

Measles stood aside and calmly commented, he was now wearing a white hooded robe, a gas mask on his face, and a large backpack on his back, on the surface he still looked hunched and weak, Gillian stood in a line with Andy from him, and when she saw Andy again at the Sandman tribe and heard that she was going to walk with Measles for a while, she only felt goosebumps.

The Atomic Humvee was slowly lowered to safety, and Andy looked at the broken fixture and the quicksand in the distance, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be happy that his car was out of danger or sad that his power armor was nowhere to be found.

Measles walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be so sad, in fact, there are still some ancient relics in those old warehouses in Los Alamos, when we come back from outside, I'll take you to find them, see if I can make up for your losses, isn't it just a power armor, it's okay!"

The corners of the persuaded Andy's mouth twitched and he reluctantly accepted this fact.

When I opened the door, nothing changed except for a little more sand.

"Let's clean up the car and leave as soon as possible."

Saying this sentence in a low tone, Andy could only comfort himself that there would be gains and losses, and it was impossible to rescue the car as soon as possible without the help of the reserved equipment, but it was precisely because of his impatience that he lost his only power armor.....

Moments later, the Atomic Humvee was back on the land of the new mS.

The thrill of racing again diluted the negativity, and Andy felt happy again as he watched the rocks and cacti flash across the sides in front of him.

Measles took the initiative to sit in the back seat, and was digging out some weird metal parts from his backpack and trying to assemble them, Andy looked at him through the rearview mirror, unsure what he was doing.

At this moment, Gillian, who was dressed in overalls and had black hair scattered in her overalls, hesitated for a moment to break the silence in the car, and she seemed to have plucked up a lot of courage before she spoke.

"Andy..."

"What's wrong?"

Although he replied, Andy had several things in his heart, the power armor was lost, not to mention that it was very difficult to go back to Fort Maxson, just looking at their previous attitude towards each power armor treasure, they could also understand that their attempt to go back and reach out to them to ask for another power armor was impossible to succeed, so if they wanted to find another power armor, they could only leave the Brotherhood of Steel and find another way.

Isaac had told him that if he could bring him GEcK-related data or a GEcK, he would be willing to give Andy the t-51 power armor that he had stolen from Fort Maxson and hid in the crypto tribe, the problem was that only nurseries had it, and the way there was farther than going to Fort Maxson, and Diana thought that GEcK was very dangerous and could not be leaked out at will, and she probably wouldn't agree.

I don't know if the power armor in the Los Alamos military base mentioned by Measles really exists, but even if it does, it will be a matter for later.

Why don't you wait and send Gillian back to Tibbetts Prison and ask Odysseus if he can give him a power armor.

Although it is not a military base, it has also been used to experiment with many high-tech products, such as the Hermes lining armor and Hercules power fist gloves on his body now are given to him by Odysseus, maybe it is not only available there, but also high-end goods.

"Andy?"

Gillian asked, and Andy came to his senses.

"How... Sorry, I'm a little distracted, can you say that again? ”

Gillian sighed and had to repeat it.

"I mean, before you take me back to Tibbetts Prison, can you let me go back to my friends, I'm really worried about them, and by the time I'm gone, it's already dangerous..."

Andy frowned, why did it get sideways again?

"Hmm... So where do your friends live? ”

Gillian uttered a place name that Andy was unfamiliar with.

"In Blonnfield."

Without waiting for Andy to say anything, the measles, who was sitting in the back row, let out an "oh".

"Interesting, wasn't it destroyed by a nuclear bomb at the outbreak of the Great War? I've seen relevant information in our database, the nuclear bombs produced by the reservation are transported by the military to various nearby space centers, and then used rockets to send the .m.b space station in space, the closest space center to the reservation is Bloomfield, the Bloomfield in your mouth is the space center back then, am I right? ”

Gillian glanced at measles with some trepidation.

"Probably... I don't know very well, we found it shortly before I had all of this, and I didn't even have time to take a closer look at what pre-war equipment was left in there that had been attacked by strange robots. ”

Andy empathizes with Gillian's description of the so-called strange robots that attacked him in the first place, a small robot called Swiftfoot that is not very attackable but has great mobility and penetration, and he first observed its appearance on the outskirts of Blackfoot Village, and saw a large number of the same robots programmed to maintain the plumbing facilities while repairing the pipes at the nursery.

Odysseus had the robots equipped with coEd technology weapons go around to capture fugitives according to their location, and once they confirmed that they were close to their target, they would use their weapons to stun the fugitives, and then forcibly kidnap them and bring them back to Tibbetts Prison.

However, during the prison escape caused by Prester, Tibbetts Prison suffered a big blow, with a large number of fugitives failing containment, and his subsequent hacking attack on Tibbetts Prison with unknown intentions seems to still haunt Odysseus, seriously interfering with Odysseus's pursuit of fugitives who escaped from his pursuit, and even forced him to release some prisoners early after Andy achieved hope and de-escalated the threat of a new plague.

"When we first met, you told me about these experiences... By the way, measles, I remembered one thing, and I happened to ask you here. ”

Andy glanced in the rearview mirror, where the white robe, wearing a gas mask, was still fiddling with his gadgets.

"Gillian said that a group of slave traders caught her on her way home from Tibbetts prison and sent her to the reservation, these slave traders are very characteristic, they are all of your kind, I also saw a bounty list about them at Hoover Dam, it says that the leader of this group of slave traders is a guy named Ingmar, do they have anything to do with the reservation?"

Measles nonchalantly answers this question.

"It's a little bit related, that Ingmar used to be a slave trader, and when he first settled on the reservation as Horatio's assistant to help him take care of the slaves, and then he secretly abused the slaves for fun, which was undoubtedly for his personal pleasures and to damage the property of the collective, we warned him, but he refused to change, and eventually we expelled him from the reservation."

"After he left the reservation, he returned to his old business, and set up a slave hunting team with some of his own kind who came from all over the place, and in view of his previous relationship with the reservation, we accepted his request to be one of our slave suppliers, but his activities to go out to hunt slaves were not controlled or ordered by us, and we never formed our own slave hunting team to go out to capture slaves, and all the slaves were bought from the slave traders by us with vase caps."

The answer to the measles was watertight, and once again the responsibility for the reservation was cleaned.

"Don't care about these old things, don't Andy, my father's promise can't be faked, he doesn't lie, and when our cooperation projects are all completed, the slaves will completely disappear from the reservation."

Andy dealt with him casually, turning his attention to Gillian.

"So where is Blonnfield's location?"

Gillian picked up a small tablet-like electronic device, as if it had been pieced together from trash, and it seemed that her time in the Sandman tribe had not been for nothing.

"I'll pass the map marker to your beep-boy and you can see it directly."

As he spoke, the beep-beep boy shook, and Andy raised his arm to take a look, and immediately knew where the so-called Bloomfield was.

This place is actually a little further south of the Hoover Dam, and it is now located in the southeastern part of the Great Southwestern Union.

It is a long way to go back and forth.

"It's... It's also too far. ”

Hearing Andy say this, Gillian immediately made a very anxious expression.

"Yes, but I really want to go back and check on the status of my friends first, it won't take much time, you can get there soon if you drive, come soon, please, I don't know how long I'll be in Tibbates Prison if I go back, I know I should thank you all the way to save me from the reserve, but I've been thinking about them all these days, I really can't stand it if I don't get news for a long time..."

She made a pitiful expression, Andy couldn't help it, thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement.

Anyway, Odysseus has waited long enough, and the new plague has almost subsided after the hope fruit spreads, and the historical mission of Tibbetts Prison has actually ended, and the capture of the fugitive is just helping Odysseus fulfill its procedural requirements in exchange for a reward, and now it is really not as anxious as it was at the beginning.

"Thank you! You've done so much for me I really don't know how to thank you! ”

Excited, she leaned over and kissed Andy.

"Hey... It's okay..."

Andy muttered helplessly as he drove forward.

Now that Gillian has figured out what Gillian wants, he has one more thing to ask.

"Measles, you said earlier that the reservation needs uranium as fuel for the reactor, do you know where to get uranium?"

"Of course."

Measles retrieved a map and a notebook from his backpack.

"Over the years, we have received a lot of valuable information from the mouths of the businessmen who traveled from south to north, and there is also a lot of pre-war information stored in the reserve's database, according to which we now know that there are uranium mines in two places, first according to the last access records before the war, the last batch of enriched uranium in the stock was taken away by a group of soldiers, who may have died in the nuclear explosion, and they probably left in the direction of north-west of the reservation, and those enriched uranium may still be there."

Andy knew in his heart that the batch of enriched uranium that Measles was talking about was the "black box" mentioned in the old story that Nemonek had talked about when he was in the Crypto Village, and according to Isaac's understanding, those boxes were actually sealed lead-lined boxes for insulating radiation, and the contents of the boxes were enriched uranium that could be used to make nuclear bombs.

Based on the information recorded in the computers of the crypto village and the corroboration of the reservation, it is inferred that the ancestors of the crypto tribe were the soldiers and scientists who took the last batch of enriched uranium from the Los Alamos military base to a nuclear weapons test base in the western Mojave Desert on the day of the war.

Andy knew that if he took measles to the Crypto Tribe for questioning, he might have a chance to recover the enriched uranium, but he didn't want to do that, the enriched uranium was too dangerous, and he didn't want the enriched uranium to go back to Los Alamos, even if Dr. Clark on the reservation said it was too fary.

Therefore, he did not intend to mention what he knew to measles.

"How do you make sure you can find those enriched uranium? There's only one general direction, isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack? ”

Measles smiled disapprovingly.

"Those boxes are equipped with positioning devices, and we naturally have a way to get them all back when we get close enough, but you're right, this search process is indeed a bit troublesome, and according to the records, the total amount of enriched uranium is not large, it can only be said that it is better than nothing, after all, we have no idea of making a nuclear bomb, in fact, those enriched uranium are not what we are in a hurry to get, what we really need is a lot of uranium ore, and the uranium rods used in nuclear reactors do not need to be enriched to weapons grade."

"According to the records left over from before the war, the largest uranium mine in the Great Southwestern Federation is located in a place called the Grand Canyon, where there may still be a lot of automated mining equipment from the past, and there is a railroad connected to the rail network here, and I would like to visit it if possible."

Although Andy still felt that it was not appropriate, he was reassured that uranium ore was safer than enriched uranium.

"And where is the place you said is called the Grand Canyon?"

Measles smiled and borrowed her tablet from Gillian, Gillian hesitated for a while and then lent it to him, Measles was actually very proficient in using this electronic device, and soon the beep boy on Andy's arm vibrated again, and a new map marker appeared on it again.

"It's southeast of the Hoover Dam, when I go to the Hoover Dam and buy the cable, I'll go over there to see the situation first, and at the same time you can take the car to Bloomfield first, and then send Gillian to Tibbetts Prison to complete your mission, and when everything is done, we'll meet at the Grand Canyon, what do you think of this plan of action."

Andy calculated in his mind that the time was almost just right for the two-line operation.

"Let's do it."
