Andy clutched at some of the charred flesh at this time, and didn't dare to move. The giant looked left and right suspiciously, and once again it could not find its target, but in fact Andy was on top of his head, and Andy jumped on top of it while the monster had just put its head into the cave to bite him.

“？” If the giant mad ghoul could speak, the symbol would probably pop up above its head.

A huge amount of heat was coming from under him, and the inside of the huge body seemed to be an unquenchable furnace, and if it was swallowed up, it might really be evaporated by the heat.

Andy looks left and right, trying to find the next springboard to escape. The giant that could not find its target staggered back to its usual wandering state, wading deep and shallow through the scorching turbidity of the valley floor of the Grand Canyon, its body and arms touching some debris on the rock wall as it moved, knocking down the ancient garbage and cracked rocks.

Not far away, an ancient metal platform reappeared, supported by some rusted metal pipes, on which the Trident symbol of Poseidon Energy could be faintly seen.

Andy looked there, wondering why Poseidon Energy had set up so many platforms of unknown significance on the rock walls on the north and south sides of the Grand Canyon, these metal platforms could survive about two hundred years and still stand, proving the reliability of their design and materials, and the caves near the platforms often contain miners' corpses and various mining equipment, which seem to be an attempt to prospect, or a design for easy ventilation and evacuation.

But... Is it really such a simple use? Andy jumped over as the giant passed by, only to find that there was not just some old garbage on the metal platform, but a bird parked on it.

It was a pre-war tiltrotor helicopter that was generally owned by the military and used for various transport purposes.

Several uniformed corpses fell around the bird, the bird's wings and nose were damaged, and it looked like they were somehow flying deep in the Grand Canyon when the war broke out, and the sudden impact caused the bird to lose control and hit the cliff, and after the damage, the pilot made an emergency landing on the platform, but the subsequent sharp rise in radiation still killed several people, or they were finally trapped here because they could not leave.

Andy looked back and saw the giant's back fade away into the clouds, and he was relieved.

Turning his head, he suddenly noticed that the posture of several military uniform bones was very strange, they were hugging each other, and the cabin door next to them was a little deformed and could not be closed, it seems that these people have always maintained this posture, in other words, these people rolled out of the birds after death, so what did they hold before they died?

Taking two steps forward and stretching out his arm to separate the bones, he found that it was a metal suitcase with intricate locks on it and a tightly sealed seal around it.

Flipping it over, the metal suitcase has a pattern on the other side of the suitcase, a white five-pointed star arranged in a circle, with a capital letter 'E' in the middle.

This seems to be the sign of the enclave. Andy tried to break it, the thing was so sturdy that it didn't leak out of its contents even if it was deformed by the violence he inflicted, and because of the mechanism triggered, a small light on the top of the suitcase suddenly began to flash red, and at the same time, a shrill alarm began to sound inside the box.

"Stains." Andy speculates that this may be some kind of special response mechanism, that is, a self-destruct device that is arranged in advance to prevent the leakage and loss of important items and information, and once it is confirmed that someone has not opened it properly in a preset way, this thing will destroy the contents by means of spontaneous combustion, explosion, acid etching.

In short, it's not as simple as just making a few calls to get someone's attention. Wait a minute... He looked back suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his face in the helmet.

Sure enough, the glowing figure that was moving away seemed to stop.

"Hell!" Andy dropped the suitcase down the canyon and ran towards the metal staircase next to the metal platform, which seemed to be connected to a cave, and at the same time, the obvious vibration was increasing rhythmically, it was the footsteps of the monster, it heard the siren, and it was approaching.

Andy took three steps and two steps and rushed upwards, but a strong green light suddenly appeared under his feet, followed by a violent shock wave, the ancient metal staircase collapsed directly due to the power of the explosion, Andy stepped on the air and fell down the metal platform, what was worse than this was that the explosion also destroyed the support structure, and the entire metal platform and the birds on it began to tilt in the direction of the Grand Canyon, looking like they were about to fall into it.

Andy helplessly grabbed the metal platform and fell down with one of his heels. The familiar red light was fierce again.

In the air, he was still thinking about what the box contained, why a group of soldiers would desperately use their bodies to protect the suitcase before the crash, and why the self-destruct device in the box was so powerful that it could almost be said to be stuffed with a plasma grenade.

No matter what he thought, the metal platform smashed through the steam and toxic smoke below, and fell straight towards the valley floor.

"Can I activate the jetpack?" Andy asked Hull when he saw that the temperature had dropped, but he didn't get the answer he wanted.

"The heat dissipation is not yet complete." Andy looked down, and this time the valley floor seemed to be a huge black lake, dead and silent like a puddle of asphalt.

"What's the heat? It's completely cold for a while! Not wanting to sit still, he struggled to the side on the metal platform, but a sweeping slap shattered his attempt.

Like a fly that has been flapped away, Andy turns back and falls into the metal platform after crashing into the black lake, the unknown gooey liquid not even making waves.

........................... Andy felt as if he had lost consciousness for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he didn't see the inner interface of the power armor.

He looked around left and right, there was a dark silence around him, he seemed to be floating in the water, but he didn't feel depressed, what was the situation?

Isn't it a dream? Unable to figure out what was going on, Andy moved some distance in a swimming position when he suddenly saw something strange, which seemed to be a stone, which was a common shape and material.

He swam around the stone, and saw that the stone was divided into two sides, and on the front of the stone seemed to be carved a vague face, this face had closed eyes and pursed lips, and the nose was very straight.

Faintly, Andy felt as if he had seen this face somewhere. Just when he was thinking so wildly, the 'stone head' in front of him suddenly spoke.

"What are you looking for?" Andy rubbed his eyes, making sure it didn't open its mouth to speak, and the voice seemed to come to his head out of thin air.

"Are you talking?" No response... Andy pondered for a moment and said his most pressing need at the moment.

"I have urgent business to deal with, I need to fly into space to stop a man from destroying the world, if there is anything I am looking for, then this is what I am seeking at the moment, I am going to stop him." Strange voices rang out again.

"What you seek is intimately connected to the destiny of this world, even to the other. I prophesy that all the difficulties you face will be temporary, and that all the enemies you encounter will be struck down, for whatever reason, until you have accomplished your goal, and there is only one easy road ahead of you. But you must not let your guard down, because there is an unspeakable being that is watching you and always looking for opportunities to interfere with you, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed. So be brave and go for miracles! "A strong feeling of suffocation came over suddenly.

..................... Andy struggled a few times to wake up, but found himself under the water of a lake, the surrounding water is very clear, but this clarity is not normal, not far away there are a lot of substances that emit strong radiation, but those substances all stay outside a vague 'circle', the liquid in this circle is not completely transparent, but because of the radiation of those rays and become a little 'transparent'.

He subconsciously looked at the center of this 'circle', the temperature was a little scary, why wasn't this a sea of rocks, mountains and fire?

The key to the answer must be in that place. Turn on the headlamp, the light that shines on the past is swallowed up, and it is pitch black, like a cave, but it can't be said that it is a cave.

"Long-term stays are not recommended because the risk of hypothermia is increasing for unknown reasons." Andy was stunned for a moment, only then did he notice that the temperature was still declining, and the high temperature at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was enough to evaporate the metal was unusually here, what was going on?

Don't have time to think about it, now that the temperature has dropped low enough, then... The jetpack was activated at full power, and a ray of light shone at the bottom of the silent lake.

The giant Measles stood next to the black lake and stared, but did not take another step forward, suddenly a bubble appeared from the lake, and Andy, wearing power armor, flew out of the water, and then continued to fly upwards without stopping, Measles's eyes followed his figure closely, and he shook his body while making a strange scream in pursuit.

Andy was flattened, arms and legs at his sides, the jetpack's powerful thrust took him soaring, but with the high-speed movement, the violent vibrations and the 'heaviness' that he couldn't find the words to describe for a while were also climbing, thanks to Hull making some timely adjustments to keep him from falling unconscious.

"There are 30 seconds left in the flight duration." Andy heard the hint and hurriedly began to look for a landing site. On the rock wall in the upper left, a fragment of metal inserted into it appeared to be red, and there were many complex support structures inside.

Andy quickly turned around and flew there, then landed on it.

"The jetpack is cooling down, and the energy consumption is too high, and it is expected that the next usable interval will be 20 minutes." With a long sigh of relief, wondering why the lake below was cold, or what the dream was all about, Andy looked down at the debris inserted into the rock wall beneath his feet, which appeared to be one of the many remains of .m.b-002.

"Roar! - "A melodious roar came from not far away. The red glow is familiar with the transmission.

"Fuck, I should have punched you in the head." Andy looked at the huge figure and scolded, subconsciously chopped a kick, and didn't know where the kick had hit, only to hear a 'bang', a huge thing seemed to loosen inside the wreckage.

He lowered his head, and through the crack in the wreckage, he seemed to see a strange 'pillar' inside.

After stretching out his hands to break the gap, he could vaguely see that the SA flag was still printed on the shell of the strange thing.

He had a very bad feeling that this thing might be extraordinary. The giant measles broke through the mist and poisonous smoke and walked slowly, the gas pulling traces on its huge body, and the big raised hands were approaching.

Andy took out the Apollo laser pistol.

"Hull, help me activate the light spear mode."

"Roger." The energy weapon in his hand began to heat up, and after a few minutes he raised his Apollo pistol and fired a continuous flash of light that pierced the air and struck one of the giant's eyes and pierced its head.

The measles sat there for a few seconds, a large amount of orange-red liquid gushing out of the burned hole, as if it were bleeding tears.

"Woo.... A terrible roar sounded from its mouth, and the intense red light in its heart suddenly exploded, and Andy's eyes were also red in front of the strong light, and he couldn't see anything.

"Your radiation level is close to the danger level, stay away as soon as possible." Andy ignored the hint, he had nowhere to run, and now he had to temporarily fight off the guy to gain respite and fly away with the jetpack.

"What's the solution—" He rummaged through the Pip-Boy and found the Artemis railgun, one of the two depleted uranium shells in it.

Activate the V mode and hastily shoot out the depleted uranium projectile. Radiation may be a tonic for the giant ghoul in front of him, but the destructive power of an instantaneous explosion cannot be faked.

A loud bang followed, and I don't know where the depleted uranium bullet hit, and the violent red light gradually dissipated, and the shock wave forced Andy to hold on to the crack in the wreckage under his feet to fix his body.

When all the light and smoke had subsided, Andy saw that the measles had fallen to his knees, and the depleted uranium bullet seemed to have coincidentally inserted into the hole that had been burned through by the Apollo pistol and exploded in his skull, making the measles' head now look like an iron can that had been stuffed with a grenade and held on the ground after it exploded.

A large amount of orange-red, high-radiation liquid erupted from its skull, flowing down its body.

Andy waited nervously, but it didn't move.

"Dead?" He looked at the miserable corpse, and sighed for a while, he didn't expect this ghoul to die like this in the end, and then thought of Dr. Clarke, who was shot in the head by his own hands on the wall, I really don't know what he should say at this time, maybe this entanglement in the reservation is a tribulating test in his fate.

And now, this long test is finally over... Is it? In front of Andy's eyes, the headless corpse began to grow a large number of flesh buds rapidly, and the deformed head that had been blown up seemed to be unable to return to its original shape, and the new tissue made the head turn into a strange shape.

It is clear that it is still alive. Andy confirmed that the jetpack had two more minutes to cool down, and he stared anxiously at the measles in his head, which was becoming more and more like a flower, anxiously waiting for the countdown.

There was a sudden loud bang from the wreckage beneath his feet, and he looked down in surprise to see through the gap that a thick metal pillar slid down from the wreckage, spinning and falling into the depths of the Grand Canyon.

Judging by its appearance, it was undoubtedly a nuclear bomb. He tensed and looked at the bottomless valley, for a second and two seconds... More than a dozen seconds passed, and nothing happened.

There was a loud noise, and the giant measles stood up again with its flowering head on it. Andy didn't miss anything, and immediately activated the jetpack and flew away again, and the measles behind him squirted some orange-red liquid from his 'head', and after falling on the rock, the rock was corroded.

With Hull's help, Andy kept changing his stance in the air, dodging the liquid, and gradually moving away.

The giant no longer had eyes, but it still somehow clearly sensed Andy's distance, and it took another step to try to pursue, but soon it seemed to step on something.... Andy, who flew higher and higher, saw that the clouds finally cleared in front of him, and the fog and poisonous smoke that had been permeating the surroundings dissipated, and he flew out of the Grand Canyon, and he could already see the north shore of the Grand Canyon around him, and the Santiago group seemed to be standing in a neat row to follow Chrissy's movements, and everyone was attracted by the sudden loud sound in the canyon, and looked at him flying in the air in amazement.

Andy immediately reversed course, repositioned himself in the air, feet down, and closed the jetpack, eventually hitting the ground with a bang.

At the same time as he landed, a roar came from the depths of the Grand Canyon, and a strong shock wave rushed out of the valley floor to wash a large amount of garbage from the valley floor to both banks, and then, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the deepest part, and a strong earthquake occurred in the entire Grand Canyon area, and cracks were everywhere.

Andy beckoned everyone to hide behind him, because the strong wind and impact caused by the explosion of the nuclear bomb lasted for a long time before finally stopped, after many years, the power of the nuclear bomb was once again displayed in front of everyone's eyes, and a large area of rock peeled off the rock wall, and then was forced into the air by a large amount of steam and poisonous smoke that rose from the valley floor, and then turned into a rain of stones after losing kinetic energy.

"Radiation! Radiation! Run, get out of here! Andy shouted to everyone to stay away from the Grand Canyon, and Chrissy and a group of scavengers ran away from Andy's back, urgently swallowing anti-radiant and taking out various radiation protective equipment.

After seeing everyone running away, Andy looked back at the chaotic Grand Canyon. The nuclear bomb must be a nuclear weapon built into .m.b-002, according to the information of the same paragraph inside .m.b-001, this nuclear bomb is enough to cause the Grand Canyon to collapse as a whole, from a large ditch to a large crater, and the radiation aftermath can even spread to the range of a state, but... Somehow, the nuclear bomb that exploded at the valley floor was not as destructive and polluting as expected.

Whether it's because of the terrain constraints or because of that strange lake, it's all too lucky. Andy looked down at the valley floor that was emitting violent gamma rays in all directions, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he could still see a faint red light.
