The sun was slowly rising, and it had only been four or five hours since the first gunshot of the night.

The pursuit and search for the remnants of the Children of the Wasteland continued, but only sporadic results were found, and the three natural ghouls that Colonel Green had considered the main trouble were all missing, reducing the hindrance to the operation.

By this time, the top leader of the reservation had changed from Dr. Clark to Colonel Green, and almost none of the protectors who had been in control of the inside and outside had been killed. The civilian ghouls and scientist ghouls who hid in the house walked out with blank faces, looking at the members of the Green Guard who searched and interrogated from time to time, and their hearts were mixed.

Overnight, the reservation has changed.

Colonel Green sat in Dr. Clark's bedroom in Level 3, looking at the headless corpse with mixed eyes.

Fred's body was kept in a different place, shot several times, and before he died, he led the slaves to fight with some broken tools, creating an opportunity for Colonel Green to break into Level 2.

String was looking through Dr. Clark's terminal, which was not locked, which was not surprising, the outside protection was sufficient, and if the enemy could already enter the place, the terminal was locked and pointless. There are some records in this terminal, some of which are specially extracted data related to the physiological indicators of ghouls, reproduction experiments, and radiation reactions, and the other part is about the giant cannon called Nuke Nelly, which was sent to the reserve for experimentation, and the result of the experiment is that if the weapon is used to launch nuclear bombs, the impact range is too close, and the use of it is limited and very dangerous, and it is recommended to be discarded.

After the darkness in the room was turned on again, two unique decorations were found, which were two nuclear warheads, but they had been harmless, just two empty shells, and it was through these two empty shells that Andy knew what the nuclear bombs produced on the pre-war reservation looked like, and the words '.m.b-001' could be found on these two shells, which seemed to be special bombs.

After reading those diaries, Xian couldn't help but sigh.

"According to what is written in it, Clark's sanity has long been on the verge of collapse, and it has been someone else who has made a special drug for him to alleviate... I guess it's Dr. Sebastian who made this, so he's been living here since fifty years ago to hide from the outside radiation, and even turned off all the lights to stabilize his mind, and his face festered because of the side effects of the drug, but it seems that he ended up still... The spirit died before the body. ”

Andy listened, but didn't pay much attention to Dr. Clark, who was now discussing slavery with Colonel Greene.

"Fred kept his promise with his life, Colonel Green, and you should fulfill the promise you made."

Colonel Green was silent for a moment with his arms crossed, and finally nodded.

"No problem... I was skeptical of your slippery skins, human civilization has been disintegrating for so long, and the new human race is degrading from generation to generation, although I have not traveled with Clark to the wasteland, and I have seen countless situations over the years, and those marauders and profiteers are in disarray, which is disgusting. For a while I also thought there was some truth to the theories that Clark was talking about, so I didn't care about using slaves with reservations, but now it seems... Some things don't change, the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage, and from you and Fred, I see that you have not lost your courage, and courageous people are naturally worthy of admiration. ”

He took a microphone from a soldier, cleared his throat and began his first public address to all members of the reservation since the sudden incident.

"Guys, I'm Greene, Colonel Richard Greene."

Colonel Green's hoarse voice spread from Level 3 to the air throughout the underground bunkers, shantytowns, and trade areas, and was heard by everyone in the reservation, who either looked at the corpses full of bullet holes with palpitations, or clenched the reservation in their hands with tears in their eyes, or opened their arms and cheered in celebration of the dissipation of the weight that had hung over the reservation for a long time, no matter how they felt at the moment, the matter was irreparable, and the subsequent changes in the reservation were already imperative, Colonel Green's announcement, It will be the beginning of a new era.

"Since I arrived on the reserve on June 12, 2063, and taken up my duties, I have taken my job seriously and made ensuring the safety of the reserve my first priority, which means that as the Chief Security Officer, I have put the interests of all of us first, a job that I have carried out for 190 years, and I have never forgotten my duties or let my guard down."

He paused, subconsciously looking at the bed on which Dr. Clark had been lying not long ago.

"William Clark... I have to say that he was brave, he lived and came back from outside with a lot of people, and he is still remembered today, and his religious ideas are shared by many of you, and I know that, so I am willing to give way to him when he comes back instead of doing anything at that time, because I said that I put our common interests first. ”

"But that's not the case anymore..."

Colonel Green clenched the equipment in his hand.

"William Clark's body has been crumbling since fifty years ago, and he has become a madman when we storm his dwelling, which is an important proof that he is not in fact some chosen savior by the Holy Spirit of the wasteland, but just an ordinary person like you and me, who is lying in the ground now, and I will order his body to be brought to the surface for you to peruse, and if you are willing to look at his ugly corpse, you will understand that there is no Messiah in the world, and that it is only a lie."

"As a result of this desperation, he recently planned and launched an indiscriminate dirty bomb attack on outside settlements, which is undoubtedly self-defeating, and the strength of our reservation is far from being the enemy of all slippery skins, and I assure you as a soldier that I am not making such a comment out of cowardice, this judgment is based on my military qualities, the world is cold and objective, and it is not possible to beat ten people one by one just by reciting a few verses of scripture and having a hot brain, I'm sure you, in your right minds, will agree with what I've said. ”

"Therefore, I am here to inform you..."

Colonel Green took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"From now on, I promulgate a new law on the reservation, and everyone listens to it: from now on, all residents of the reservation shall no longer view, disseminate, or recite the apocryphal scriptures compiled by William Clark and his associates, and all old scriptures, ornaments, and any related articles in their hands must be handed over and destroyed within the prescribed time; No one is allowed to organize any group related to the idea of Children of the Wasteland; Do not harbor or help any loser in the service of Clark. The penal aspects of the law on the reservation, relating to the crime of silent opposition and endless exile, are now abolished and replaced by the crime of supporting cults and the death penalty, and those who violate the new law to which I have mentioned will also be sentenced. ”

"Among the science geeks created by Clark, measles has died, and the rest of them have fled temporarily, if anyone sees their whereabouts, be sure to report them as soon as possible, these guys are not some so-called 'new humans', they are just a kind of deformed and twisted monsters that should not exist in the world. Once arrested, they must be sentenced to death to uphold human morality, ethics and basic dignity! ”

Andy coughed involuntarily as he listened.

Colonel Green glanced at him and continued to speak.

"One more thing, in view of the outstanding contribution of the slippery skins in this rebellion, I have made the following decision, from today onwards, the reservation will permanently abolish the slippery slavery, no longer buy, sell, or use any slippery slaves from any channels, and the slippery slaves who are already on the reserve will be immediately free and receive protective equipment and medicine that can withstand radiation, you must not continue to stay, and leave the reserve as soon as you are ready."

"We will continue to engage in foreign trade, but the type and quantity of trade will be reformulated..."

"Everyone, let's start a new life."

Colonel Green turned off the microphone, feeling light, that his long-cherished wish had finally been fulfilled, and that the reservation was his.

Andy was very happy that this time the matter was resolved smoothly and thoroughly.

He left here and went to Level 2 to find the slaves, who were now crying for joy and weeping at the fact that they had regained their freedom.

The foreman ghoul Milt was killed in the chaos by the rebellious slaves, as were the human traitors he had arranged for the other slaves, and many of the slaves also died in the melee, and on the eve of regaining their freedom, they still clung to the tools in their hands at the last moment, and launched a fearless charge against the enemy armed with guns.

Smith, a craftsman who had always disdained to communicate with anyone, was lucky enough to escape, still crouching in the corner with his head in his hands.

Hank and Betty continued to work on the reservation as the trade district trade supervisors, especially Hank, who was now appointed by Colonel Green to manage the entire trade area, while the slave trading camp managed by Horatio was completely demolished, and his tall body was paraded through the streets as one of the proofs of the fall of Clark's regime.

According to Colonel Green, there will be no more shanty towns on the reservation, and all members of the reservation are free to choose whether to live on the surface or in bunkers.

Andy felt like a rock fell to the ground after learning that Belle had left here, and she didn't know why she chose to leave Andy, and she learned from other ghouls that the youngest natural ghoul was really pregnant as Dr. Sebastian and Measles expected, maybe she chose to stay away from the fight because of her physical condition, no matter what, it was a great thing for Andy not to have to face her.

At noon, as Colonel Green announced, the headless body of Dr. Clark and the body of Horatio with huge holes were carried by several ghoul soldiers with a rusty door panel to the members of the reservation; Dr. Sebastian was killed in an explosion and scorched by a flamethrower, leaving him with no bones left, and of course he couldn't join in. For Dr. Clark, Andy's shot may have given him at least one last bit of decency, and if half of his festering face could be preserved and seen by everyone, I am afraid that the last bit of hope in the hearts of believers would also be erased. And now, at least there are many onlookers who can't help but cry over his death, of course, just tears.

Under the supervision of the Grimm Guard soldiers, the ghouls of the reservation lined up to throw their metal ornaments and scripture books into the fire, some of them were relaxed as if they were discarding garbage, while others were completely the opposite, and before they walked to the flames, they grabbed the symbolic objects in their hands as if they were glued to them, and they could not let go of their hands until they were kicked and scolded by the soldiers, and even put their guns on their heads.

Among the lighthearted ones, Florence had a happy face, and she laughed so loudly that the others looked at each other.

Hank threw the book in his hand into the fire, watched it burn to ashes, and slowly vomited ^_^ some hesitation when his long-standing efforts to hide from the children of the wasteland came to an end, and he immediately walked over and hugged her, took the book from Betty's hand, and threw it into the fire. The two watched as the book also turned to ashes in the fire, Betty couldn't help but hug Hank and began to cry, she couldn't figure out why she was like this, but felt a strong sentimentality welling up in her heart.

Marty wasn't here, Colonel Green approached him to discuss the next major trade in the reservation, since the main reactor of the underground bunker was blown up and the slippery slavery system was abolished, it was no longer feasible to continue the armor and weapons business in the past, and the reservation no longer had a nearly unlimited supply of energy and extremely low-cost labor, so Colonel Green was eager to find a replacement class.

Colonel Green suggested that Colonel Green use the pre-war chemical equipment on the reserve to produce all kinds of drugs that are now extremely rare in the wasteland, and that the manufacture of these drugs does not require too much energy and a large number of slaves to maintain high-intensity and low-cost production, but can make a lot of profits in foreign trade, and the chemist who presided over this work naturally fell to Marty.

The next day, with the early morning sun, the slaves who had collectively dressed in radiation protection suits and taken anti-radiation drugs walked out of the reservation under the gaze of a group of ghouls, and Andy instructed them to go to the sandman tribe as soon as possible in the direction he indicated if they felt that they had nowhere to go, and if they wanted to go back to their former place of life, they should find their way out of the radiation area around the reservation as soon as possible.

Those who had been taken from the west to serve as slaves had received advice from Andy to go to the area near Fort Alashid to find the NcR soldiers for help, and as for being captured from the east, Andy could not do anything; But he also warned the men to be wary of seasonal radiating hurricanes in the east, and to turn away if they see a huge column of wind from a distance.

The slaves thanked Andy one last time, and several of them had already decided that they would take turns carrying Fred's body and leave until they found a suitable place to bury Fred, or at least let him leave the place where he had enslaved him for so many years after his death.

Andy waved goodbye to the departing slaves and turned his head to see Colonel Green's soldiers scavenging around to clear the rubble, broken corpses, and large piles of prohibited items deemed to be related to the Children of the Wasteland.

The vicinity of the old hangar was set up as a new execution site, where several members of the Children of the Wasteland who were later captured were executed.

With the abolition of the Reservation of Endless Exile, it is believed that the wastelands of the Great Southwest Federation will no longer encounter dangerous Endless Walkers in the desert from now on.

Just as he looked at this radiant but rejuvenated radiant land with emotion, the string found him.

"I've found a lot of precious pre-war records in the terminal of Level 3 William Clark, and you'll definitely be interested."

Andy turned to look at her curiously.

"For example? What's in it? ”

The strings summarize it briefly.

"For example..."
