Chapter III: Rebellion on the Reservation

In the night, only the sound of gunfire rang out. The outer and inner gates of the reservation, as well as the surrounding sentry towers, were the first areas to be attacked, and all the guards divided into Clark's faction were suddenly attacked, most of them killed instantly, and the few who were lucky enough to survive or successfully counterattacked were leveled out one by one over the next half hour.

The Protector and the Children of the Wasteland hurriedly fetched their weapons and armor, but when they arrived at the stockpile, they found the door locked, and when they went to look for Hank and Betty, they were nowhere to be seen.

Bullets fired, and the ghouls fell in rows. Although the soldiers under Colonel Green were slightly inferior in number, they were completely crushed in terms of combat ability, and with the two internal responses of the trade area, it was easy to seize the outer city of the reservation, and within an hour the trade area and the two city gates gradually fell into the control of Colonel Green's faction.

At this time, Colonel Green was sitting in a military tent in the shantytown of the inner city waiting for a report from his subordinates, and several military radios and radio intercoms were summarizing the various situations to him in real time.

"The guards on the outer city wall have been controlled, and the gates have been closed."

"The guards of the inner city wall have been controlled, and the gates have been opened."

"The entrance to the underground bunker has been cordoned off, and our men are patrolling the inner city."

"We met with some resistance in the trade zone... There have been reports of Slave Supervisor Horatio leading a group of men to hide in his area of responsibility. Colonel Green raised an eyebrow and immediately stood up.

"The ground must be cleaned before attacking the underground bunker, it's almost an hour, and we can't waste any more time for William Clark to react and come with me!" Andy followed Colonel Green to the trade area, where he saw a fierce battle breaking out in the tent area of the reservation that was supposed to receive foreign slaves and conduct the slave trade.

"Bang bang bang...."

"Dada-da-da..."

"Boom! Andy saw that it had completely turned into a battlefield, with the sound of light machine guns, howitzers, and grenades, the light of the fire constantly illuminating the darkness, and the tents being beaten into honeycombs and rags, and then falling down.

The desperate Children of the Wasteland and the Protectors stood behind humble bunkers to resist the siege of the Grimm Guards, and even the hand-cranked machine guns mounted on the high posts were engaged in the attack on the enemy, accompanied by a heavy roar, and the ghouls were occasionally crushed by bullets.

Colonel Green waved his arms and beckoned to several ghoul soldiers.

"Did you get it right? Call over and rush straight in! Andy looked puzzled, and suddenly saw a tattered green military truck roaring over, the steel plate temporarily installed on the front of the car was deformed by various caliber ammunition fired from the front, but the driver had obviously stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the truck rushed straight into the camp without slowing down, knocking over the bunker.

The soldiers jumped nimbly out of the carriage and raised their automatic rifles to shoot at all moving targets when they landed, and several Dharma Protectors pushed out the few slaves held in the camp and stuffed grenades into their clothes in a vain attempt to use the slaves as meat shield bombs, but the slaves were already so frightened that they fell to the ground with a push.

Several explosions were heard, and Colonel Green rushed into it with his soldiers in hand and his pistol, and the corpses of those loyal to Dr. Clark lay all over the way.

"Hurry, hurry!" Colonel Green's soldiers were so accurate and quick to shoot that they barely missed the target, and each of his soldiers had been trained under his careful tutelage for a hundred years, a gap between them and the ranks of believers that had just been pulled up by Clark for decades.

A tall and strong ghoul suddenly rushed out, holding a large-caliber pistol in his left hand and a power fist in his right hand, first a shot caused a soldier to fall down with his chest clutched, and then a punch into the face of another soldier, the strange fist made the sound of a gun shooting at the moment of contact with the target, and the combat armor worn by the soldier who was hit burst into flames, and then fell to the ground.

Andy looked at the skull ornament around the ghoul's neck, and even if he didn't tell from the details, he could tell who he was by his unique size.

Colonel Green looked at him and shouted.

"Horatio! I advise you to surrender quickly, there is no need to bury Clarke! "The tall Horatio was undaunted by the many enemies in front of him.

"Haha, less nonsense there! I'm not going to be a traitor! Andy stepped forward to look at the strong ghoul, had he chosen to be loyal to Clark until the last moment...

"Horatio, let's have a fight." The tall ghoul removed the skull from its neck and threw it on the ground, smirking grimly.

"You slippery, with so much benefit from Dr. Clark, why are you taking revenge on his side?" Andy didn't want to talk too much nonsense with him, so he picked the most targeted reason to say.

"Colonel Green promised that he would abolish slavery on the reservation and give all slaves here freedom." Horatio looked at Andy with a bulge on his forehead, gritting his teeth.

"Hmph... Slippery is slippery, die! He raised the pistol, but Andy used V mode to directly knock off the pistol, Horatio instead raised the fist in his hand and hit Andy, Andy stepped out of the way, but although the fist was empty, it suddenly shot a shotgun from the side of the fist, Andy, who couldn't dodge, could only choose to pump in the combat potion, and the shotguns scattered towards his face stopped in mid-air.

Andy, who slowly dodged the shotgun, walked to Horatio's side, turned on the V mode and pulled the trigger at the moment when the potion's effect ended, and the bullet pierced through the metal armor he was wearing, punching his strong body into large holes, so Horatio finally fell backwards to the ground weakly.

The ghoul soldiers let out an exclamation, and no one could see how Andy disappeared in an instant and then appeared on Horatio's side and killed him.

Andy picks up the power fist worn by Horatio and discovers that it is a magical weapon called the gun fist gauntlet, which has a small mechanism inside that can pull the trigger and fire a shotgun to eject, using the bullet to inflict further damage while punching the opponent, but if the power is not enough, it is likely to hurt the user instead.

The slave camp in the Trade Zone was quickly cleared, which meant that the entire outer town of the reservation was completely under Colonel Green's control, and all that was left was the underground bunker that Dr. Clark renamed the 'Temple', which was also the base camp of the Children of the Wasteland, which was completely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Colonel Greene had a great change in his opinion of Andy after seeing his ability, and his attitude was much kinder.

"Now that we've got the ground in control, I'm going to order my soldiers to go into the underground bunkers, wipe out all of Clark's people layer by layer, and finally find that bastard and sentence him to death!" Surrounded by layers, the protectors at the entrance of the underground bunker retreated into the underground one after another.

Sweating profusely in front of everyone, Marty unlocked the gate, and the soldiers swarmed in, with Andy patting Marty on the shoulder before following Colonel Green inside.

"Don't make that kiss of yours again, or you won't want to know the consequences." He walked away from a dejected Marty.

Upon entering Level 1, the soldiers met no resistance, and the sporadic four or five Dharma Protectors rushed out with rifles shouting the scriptures of the Scriptures, and were shot by Colonel Green's soldiers as soon as they appeared, blood flowing freely in the neat underground bunker corridors, and the scientists and handymen screamed and hid in the rooms.

Colonel Green shouted as he walked with a large bullhorn.

"I am Colonel Greene, and in accordance with the pre-war security protocols, I, as the head of security at Los Alamos, hereby declare: William Clark has posed a serious threat to the security of the reservation, and from this day on he is no longer the supreme leader of the reservation, and this position will be replaced by me, Richard Green! Irrelevant people and others immediately hide in the room and don't do anything, wait until I announce that I can go out and come out, if I don't comply, I will bear the consequences! "Everyone understands that the old pre-war security protocols are now a piece of waste paper, and today, the reservation is about to face a sea change.

The helpless civilians retreated, whether they were ghouls living in shanty towns on the surface or ghouls living in Level 1, all of them wisely chose to stay out of the strife and not get involved in the strife.

After a quick sweep of Level 1, the Grimm Guard soldiers finally encountered serious resistance in Level 2.

Florence opened the door to Level 2 with an access card she didn't know where she got it, but the defensive line of the Protectors and the Children of the Wasteland was very dense, and as soon as they entered, several soldiers were beaten into a sieve, and for a moment Colonel Green's side was blocked in the footsteps of Level 1.

"Colonel, the fire is too fierce!" The soldier retreated in disarray. Colonel Green anxiously circled left and right.

"Damn, what about those slippery slaves? Didn't they say they would respond to us in Level 2? What about people? "At this time, several Dharma Protectors were urging Fred's and other slaves into the room where they were being held, the stench, rotten and even 'circle' of corpses, bones and large piles of feces scattered around the corners.

Just as they were about to walk in, the slaves suddenly stood still, unmoved by how the ghouls pushed and beaten.

A Dharma protector called Fred.

"Look what's going on? Now the situation is critical out there, and someone is rebelling, so either you go in or you die, understand? Fred walked silently to the slaves, then turned to look at everyone.

"Brothers... Today, we don't have many choices, but we always have to make a choice, and if we don't do it now, maybe we won't have the opportunity to do it... So, I'll give you a sample. He turned and walked through the door, and the slaves followed him.

The protectors breathed a sigh of relief and were about to go over to lock the door, when a hoe slammed out of the crack in the door, smashing the ghoul through the arm on the spot.

He fell to the ground with a scream, and the slaves poured out from behind the door, but the difference was that this time they all had all kinds of tools in their hands to serve as weapons, those shovels for shoveling coal, pliers for clamping iron, hammers for striking, and even just a stone, a ball of scrap metal, which had also become a useful meteor hammer when tied with rope.

Fred was the first to smash the ghoul with a hoe, and he and his like-minded slaves had already secretly hidden a lot of 'rags' inside, under the tiles, in the dung, inside the corpses... None of the reservation's overseers or guards had ever wanted to go in to see how filthy the slaves' quarters were, so none of them had ever discovered what was hidden there.

The Dharma Protectors watched in amazement as the slaves rushed out of the door waving all sorts of things at them, and they hurriedly pulled the trigger and fired, but even if the first slave fell, the slaves behind still stepped on the corpse of the former and continued to sprint forward, and finally landed their shovels and hammers on the heads of the ghouls.

Fred pulled out the shovel that had been slashed into the ghoul's neck, raised the bloodied shovel and let out a cry.

"Be free or die!" The slaves responded en masse, snatching the guns and ammunition from the ghouls who had been beaten alive, and continuing to charge towards the rest of Level 2.

The sudden chaos from the rear surprised the defenders, who had to spare only a portion of their men to suppress the slaves' rebellion, which gave Colonel Green an opportunity.

"It's now! Above! A group of ghouls charged with guns, and Andy followed them into Tier 2, with the help of V mode, the two guns were not missing, and the next shot was fired at close range, and the defenders who were caught in the front and back finally collapsed their defenses.

Fred smashed a super power hammer into a Dharma Protector, smashing his weapon along with himself and deformed to the ground, but a Dharma Protector behind him saw this scene and angrily raised his rifle and fired, Fred's body instantly burst into a cloud of blood mist, his eyes widened, looking at the soldiers under Colonel Green who were constantly coming, and finally fell to his knees in reluctance, and then lay on the ground full of ashes and stopped breathing.

"Kill them, don't let any of them go here!" Colonel Green excitedly gave the order, but was stopped by Andy.

"Wait, Colonel Green, you promised those slaves." Colonel Green was stunned for a moment, woke up from his emotions, and immediately added a sentence.

"Don't worry about those slippery slaves, your own people!" Bullets rained down, bullet marks were scattered all over the walls of Level 2, bullet casings were scattered everywhere on the ground, blood was pouring from every corner, and severed limbs and corpses were blown around by the shockwave of the grenade explosion.

The Protectors didn't even surrender, they clung to the retention in their hands before they died, stubbornly seizing every opportunity to thwart the Grimmguards' intrusion in such a one-sided situation, and even tried to take down an enemy with a safety grenade after they ran out of bullets.

Eventually, the gunfire in Level 2 subsided. Colonel Green walked towards the entrance of Level 3 with his gun and surrounded by a group of soldiers, and many of the Protectors of Levels 1 and 2 fled into this final area, where William Clark's bedroom was located, and once Colonel Green breached this place, the civil war on the reservation would also end.

Florence tried for a moment and said that it was indeed locked up, and she couldn't open the door. However, she actually knew another path down.

The group arrives in an inaccessible area and opens a small door under the leadership of Florence.

"Only insiders who have done cleaning know that this is a maintenance channel." The wrinkles of this short old lady faded after the ghouls, and if you didn't look at the ugly ghoul face, you even felt like a little girl.

"Go in and drag that bastard William Clark out and spank him!" Colonel Green also didn't talk nonsense and asked a group of soldiers to go in first to explore the way.

The soldiers were walking through the dark and dirty maintenance passages, and suddenly saw a few figures wandering in front of them, and with the help of night vision goggles, they saw that they were some crazy people, so they breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the crazy people at least did not take the initiative to attack their own kind, and those who were not crazy but loyal to Clark were dangerous elements.

They were about to ignore the mad ghouls and move on, when a camera turned in the darkness, and then the speaker suddenly vibrated and made some high-pitched noise.

The mad ghouls who were walking aimlessly and lying in the maintenance passage suddenly stood up, and then rushed towards several of the Grimm Guard soldiers, and when they got closer, the soldiers saw that these madmen seemed to have been dealt with, their upper bodies were covered by restraints, their arms were unable to move, but their lower bodies were free to move forward, and a heavy metal collar was hung around their necks, and red lights flashed on them.

Colonel Green and Andy discuss what they might encounter upon entering Level 3, and their conversation is interrupted by the sound of violent explosions and shockwaves coming from deep within the maintenance passage.
