A thunderous roar rang out from the depths of the Grand Canyon, filled with radiant vapor and toxic smoke.

Andy grabbed the edge of a scale, raised his Ares tooth saw sword, aimed it at its head, and slashed wildly, but the effect was very mediocre.

The unbalanced dragon contracted and twisted its body in an attempt to shake it off, but to no avail, and with the exploding scales and dripping green blood, the giant monster was finally on the verge of madness, and it suddenly plunged into the depths of the Grand Canyon.

Andy, who was hanging on it, could only hold on to the gaps in the scales to avoid slipping off for a while, the Geiger counter of the beep-boy was going crazy, and the temperature around him was getting higher and higher, and he was already approaching the deepest part of the Grand Canyon.

Fortunately, Athena's power armor can provide absolute protection, and after letting Hull help inject some radiation medicine, Andy continued to exert his strength, and forcibly cut a thick black scale, and the flesh that shimmered green under it was directly exposed.

The severe pain made the big snake unbearable anymore, and its whole body shrunk into a ball and rolled down, Andy couldn't catch it, and it also rolled to the bottom.

After a while, with almost complete loss of vision, Andy, with Hull's help, barely corrected his posture and turned on the jetpack's thrust reverser to slow down, he looked nervously down, this time the depth of the Grand Canyon was even deeper than the last time, this depth even made him feel terrified, the sky above his head had narrowed into a line, and even this line was now obscured by clouds.

What will be next? It can't be lava, right? Just as he was thinking, a fierce foehn wind suddenly rushed up from below, and Andy watched the two-headed snake that shrunk into a ball not far away suddenly spread its body, spreading its body like a piece of paper, and took advantage of this sudden hot wind to soar into the sky, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Andy also took advantage of the wind to slow down the descent, and he had to turn off the jetpack, because the Athena power armor had already issued an overheating alarm, and the steam outside was carrying hundreds of degrees of high temperatures, thanks to the design of this set of power armor, the use scenario seems to be very extreme, if you jump off with the original T-51C, I am afraid that the power armor systems have been down at this time, and cause him to become a can of cooked meat soon after.

The surrounding poisonous smoke and fog were all temporarily blown away by the wind, Andy's eyes suddenly brightened, he saw that there was a bottomless river at the bottom of the valley, with a layer of dark grease floating on the surface, and there was a faint green radiation light scattered from below in the gaps, and the banks and rock walls on both sides were all a dazzling red, and from time to time a terrifying bubble exploded on the surface of the river, and the air was constantly trembling.

It's a river of death, with radiation, heat, and poison beyond the limits of what any device or creature can withstand.

Andy struggled to adjust his stance to make sure he didn't fall straight into the river, and finally he landed on the flat ground on one side of the riverbank.

Slowly standing up from the pit, the power armor's internal systems are constantly emitting various alarms, which are in turn compiled by the Pip-Boy and handed over to Hull to make a superficial expression that can be understood by Andy.

"The environment here is too harsh, and staying for more than 3 hours can cause irreversible damage to the power armor." Andy looked down at the fist he had just hammered into the rock, and even with the protection of the power armor, he felt a sharp pain like a pinprick.

"The opening guide... Help me point me in the right direction, Hull. ”

"Roger." A path glowing green appeared before his eyes. Following this road, Andy walked all the way, and on the way he could see some wreckage that could no longer be distinguished, most of them were mining facilities and mining machinery that had fallen from the middle of the cliff walls on both sides of the Grand Canyon.

Occasionally, charred corpses can be seen, lying on the ground or curled up in a corner of the rock, looking like a human being, presumably a mad ghoul or a man-eater who has fallen from above, or perhaps a hapless treasure hunter or scavenger.

No creature could survive here, not even the specialized mutated creatures born here, and the radiation and heat were enough to kill the mad ghoul and turn it into a charred black statue in human form.

Compared to the horror in front of you, the tunnels of the underground mines of Burnham Springs gushing tongues of fire and poisonous smoke can even be said to be cool.

As the marker gets closer and closer, Andy remembers the last time he came down to the bottom and entered one of the wrecks of .m.b-002, where the depth was much higher than here, just a hot river of hot water, and the height difference here has actually turned into this almost underworld appearance, can the wreckage with cpU in it really hold on to the present?

Thinking so, the scene in front of him made Andy's eyes widen. A huge, 'metal cross' was inserted into a dammed lake at the front of the river of death, which seemed to be not water, but blinding light and fire, green flames formed a fiery tornado wrapped around it, and endless smoke, steam, and combustible gases poured out of the lake below, rumbling and rhythmically ringing.

Andy even forgot about the horror around him for a moment, staring intently at the strangely shaped object.

An indescribable sense of visual impact came to my face. It is unknown what the material used to make this strange thing, although it looks like it has been badly melted and deformed, but by and large it still stands there, from a long, long time ago, until Andy walked into the deepest part of the Grand Canyon today.

Hull marked it in the helmet's internal display.

"Found the .m.b-002 core, searching for signals... The signal position is locked. Andy watched as the mission marker shifted to the circular area in the middle of the 'metal cross', and he couldn't believe it, so was the thing in front of him. Part of the wreckage of M.B-002?

Yes, although the wheeled space station is generally similar to a popular pre-war pastry called doughnut, that is, a hollow inner ring, there is also a cross-shaped structure made of metal in the middle, and a circular space of unknown purpose is designed in the center, and if the entire circle around the space station is removed, the remaining part does look like a 'metal cross'.

"It's crazy, how do I get there?" Andy looked at the huge lake and was in trouble, not to mention falling into it, it would be a big problem to get into it, and even the surrounding rocks were eroded and deformed for many years.

As he circled around the lake in search of a distance to pass, he was suddenly drawn to some melted metal objects by the lake, and looked at the train on the reservation, falling from such a high place into such a hot valley floor, although it had not been long before the train had collapsed like a water-stained cardboard box, and the cannon called Nukane Nelly was not far away.

It looks like the dirty bomb in the compartment exploded after falling to the bottom, and the cannon was also damaged, and there were some tragic hits and explosions around it, and as for the radiation... The radiation at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was so intense that the dirty bomb added negligible.

He looked at it again, and noticed that Nukanelly's barrel was still raised. The cannon seems to be relatively strong, and the barrel is not bent.

Andy had an idea, trying to force Nuclei Nellie towards the dammed lake, in the process he used his strength to eat, but the cannon still didn't move, fortunately Hull adjusted the power output ratio, the power servo was overloaded, and Andy's strength was raised a lot, and the cannon finally rolled into the lake, and then there were some signs of melting on the surface.

Not wanting to waste his chance, he jerked onto it, and then towards the center of the metal cross.

The violent fire tornado instantly swept Andy in power armor, he didn't dare to stay, raised the Ares tooth saw sword and violently cut open the deformed hatch and walked in, everything inside was half-melted, and there were many electronic devices that were arranged inside the space station before the war left a rough shape, everything was as blurry as a scene in an oil painting, everything was upside down, and the foot was probably a wall, this was not originally a passage for passage, but something similar to a dome patio.

"The mission objective must be achieved within a minute, otherwise the mission may fail." An icy hint appeared in the upper right corner, Andy rushed into the deepest part and found the cpU that was sealed in a special jar, this jar was as big as an oversized bucket filled with water, as soon as it was included in the beep boy, it caused his compound weight to skyrocket, fortunately he had amazing strength, barely overweight, if he entered the overweight state in this environment, it was really lifeless, and then he might have to throw away the things in the beep boy to save his life, fortunately, he never had to worry about this.

As he was leaving, he noticed a deceased lying in the corner, presumably wearing a silver-white spacesuit, but now only a shadow-like trace remained, and strangely, one of the corpse's hands seemed to point in the direction where Andy had come, presumably just a coincidence of .m.b-002's fall impact.

There was no time to stay, the door that was pried open was constantly pouring into the terrifying flames and hot wind, this thing has not collapsed since it fell here, maybe it has something to do with it, it may not be able to continue to be the same after he came, Andy thought to himself that he might be the first wasteland to witness this scene, and maybe the last.

He hurried back the way he came, and saw that the nucleus that had been pushed into the lake was only a little above the water, and it was definitely not enough to be a pedal.

Andy stood anxiously in the flames looking for a way out, Athena's power armor was constantly sounding heat alarms, and the time countdown was accelerating.

"Roar.... Hum ....." An unknown voice came from the valley ahead, melodious and heavy, Andy looked over, through the power armor helmet under the layers of cover, even with the help of Hull, he couldn't see anything, and in the surrounding foggy environment, V mode was no different from non-existence.

"What?" Andy muttered to himself in confusion, but saw the radiation mist and poisonous smoke in front of him begin to roll up, as if something was about to be squeezed out of it, and then he saw a dazzling ' The pillar of light gradually illuminated the surroundings, this pillar of light glowed with a strong red light, so that it could penetrate the dense fog and smoke at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, its height was very amazing, although there was a refraction effect, but it was also nearly 100 meters high, and the most important point was that this thing was moving, and it was getting closer and closer to him as the light continued to increase.

A series of warnings followed. The Geiger counter has exploded, the pointer has been pushed to the limit so that it no longer has the ability to observe radiation, Hull is constantly reminding Andy to be careful of dangerous hostile targets ahead, Andy tries to use V mode to lock on to the pillar of light, or some kind of giant creature hidden in the cloud that seems to be a pillar of light, but the effort still ends in failure, he subconsciously doesn't even want to believe that this is really some kind of life, only that what appears in front of him is a natural phenomenon that occurs in some special environment.

But the next scene completely shattered his perception of the world. Shakily emerging from the mist was a glowing giant.

The skin of its whole body was as black and red as solidified lava, shriveled and hard, and the skin of its legs was completely charred, and there were many abyss-like cracks left on it, and there was a fierce red light inside.

Although it resembled a huge charred corpse, it was indeed walking in the river beneath its feet, and its terrifying body was dozens of meters high, and Andy had to raise his head to see the top of it.

On the shriveled giant skull, there was a melted face and a mouth that slid down the lower end. The 'nose', 'eyes', and 'mouth' emitted a fierce red light, as if these holes were not leading to its brain, but to another hellish otherworld.

Large swaths of malformed hyperplasia resembling cancerous tissues permeate all parts of its body, but because of the high temperature around it, these tissues have been repeatedly scalded and scorched, and finally formed a charred black shell with only some appearance lines, making it appear to appear abnormal and unnatural black swelling in some parts of the body, and some carbonized hyperplastic tissues have cracked, flowing into the river under its feet.

Its heart is positioned like a red sun, emitting a bright light in all directions. Close enough, Andy could even hear its drum-like heartbeat.

What the hell is this? Andy activates V-mode, and this time, it is successfully locked.

[Measles] [Warning, this creature is a high-risk target, and a skull hazard warning sign has been made]

.......... "He didn't know what to say for a while, could this son of the wasteland really be favored by his so-called wasteland spirit?"

The giant measles stood in front of the dammed lake and looked at the fragment of the remains of .m.b-002, and after a moment seemed to notice Andy above, its red-glowing eyeball-like 'eyes' that looked like two deep pits did not show any stellar saneness on the way here, but it did react to seeing Andy and showed a violent emotion.

That emotion is anger.

"Roar——!!! It opened its mouth and roared, slowly raising its arms of incredible length and slapping them towards Andy.
