"The Mojave Desert is so hot that you want to have a nuclear winter.↖" This is a mantra of the Rangers.

More than a month after coming to the West Coast, Adam felt deeply the same.

After walking out of the 101 refuge a few years ago, Adam had already lived a legendary life. It was a very difficult journey to follow the caravan along the way to the former West Coast of the United States. What made him a little happy was that the name of the "Black Crusade" had been spread to the West Coast, and what made him unhappy was that in the eyes of people here, there was no difference between the "Black Crusade" and the "Caiser Legion".

This is the other end of the radiating wasteland world. While humans in the capital wasteland world are still struggling to survive and strive to establish a new civilization, local forces on the east coast have already had a long history and have experienced ninety-five years of growth. NCR, the New California Republic, has undoubtedly become the strongest political system on the west coast. It is the undoubtedly dominant of California and has considerable control over the Nevada region.

Compared with the vitality of the founding of the People's Republic of China 95 years ago, the NCR, which gradually increased its size, also had some problems. The government's control gradually declined, and gradually became a stage for politicians and giant businessmen to fight each other... Those who have studied history may find that NCR has very similar characteristics to the old United States of America. When NCR's tentacles extended to the Mojave Desert, the two-headed bear (the flag pattern of the New California Republic) encountered a beast that was comparable to it - the Bull (the flag of the Caesar Legion).

It is very ironic that Caesar's only leader and emperor. Caesar, once a people of the NCR, was born in the Boneburial Land (Los Angeles). Before he proclaimed himself the Son of the God of War, he was once a member of the "Apocalypse Followers", a folk charity organization composed of idealists based on the search for knowledge and helping the wasteland people. At that time, Caesar's name was still "Edward Saron". He joined the Apocalypse Followers purely for survival, but the smart Edward drew a lot of knowledge from the rich collection of ancient books of the Apocalypse Followers, and when he went to the East and learned the language of the local tribe, he was "awakened" because he was involved in a small war.

On his journey to the East, he discovered some books about ancient Roman history. He was deeply attracted by the biography of Julius Caesar in ancient history. In a battle, he and his companions became victims of the war between two primitive tribes and became prisoners of one of them. When the tribe was about to lose, Edward Saron stood up. With his rich knowledge and experience, he taught these tribes people the knowledge of tactical and strategic knowledge and the use of weapons. After turning the extremely disadvantaged battle situation, Caesar was regarded as the leader of the tribe because of his abilities and skills.

Since then, Edward Saron transformed into Julius Caesar. He was also a leader, slave owner, philosopher, and military strategist, contrary to the ideas of the followers of the apocalypse, and began his hegemony to bring a new order to the wasteland. Before the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, his legion had conquered eighty-seven tribes and became a terrifying, well-organized and aggressive force. His legion was composed of the late military structure of the ancient Roman army, with major territories including Arizona and the west side of the Grand Canyon. Near the Crodora River, military fortress built along the mountain. Most of the legion's forces were composed of former tribe members who conquered them and their young men.

In the culture of the army, men occupy an absolute dominant position, while women can only exist as subordinates and property of men. With strict law, Caesar did not tolerate any dirt in his army. Compared with the looser NCR army, Caesar's army was strict in discipline and never got addicted to drugs. Caesar's territory was the safest territory on the wasteland. The NCR army would shrink its defense line due to military strength considerations and turn a blind eye to some small-scale bandits, but in the territory of Caesar's army, no bandits could survive, and it was the safest trade route on the wasteland. He asked every soldier to respect his superiors wholeheartedly, and these soldiers worshiped Caesar and regarded him as the incarnation of the gods.

NCR and the Caesars Legion were not really a match for the match until they met in the Mojave Desert.

There is only sand in the Mojave Desert, but there is a place where military strategists must fight for. The Hoover Dam before the war was still in operation. Thanks to the missile defense system laid out by Mr. House, the owner of Las Vegas City, in the Great War, it avoided the fire of most nuclear missiles. Although Mr. House also lost control of Las Vegas for more than two hundred years, he is still in charge of the robot security forces in Las Vegas.

The absolute strength of the NCR army is above the Caesar's Legion, but it is too long to reach. The long-distance supply routes cost the NCR finances and army huge amounts. Until the first battle of Hoover Dam, the famous battle hero Sergeant Hanlong of the NCR plan introduced the elite main force of the Caesar's Legion into the Rock City, and then used a large amount of ambushed explosives to blow the Rock City into the sky. Caesar's main force was severely damaged and could only retreat to the other side of the Hoover Dam. Since then, the NCR and the Caesar's Legion confronted along the river bank, using the Hoover Dam as the border of each other's territory, and entered a protracted war.

The caravan where Adam is now is somewhat different from the ordinary caravan. The dozens of members of the "Pilgrim" caravan all looked like trained mercenaries, and they were questioned several times along the way by NCR levels. In fact, this is true. Some of these caravan members were former bandits and some were civilians in the capital who later joined, and they all had the same identity - members of the Black Crusade.

The members of the Black Cross have grown rapidly in the past few years. With the support of the Capital Brotherhood of Steel, the members of the Black Cross formed a large army and carried out several large-scale clearances of Washington, DC. After suffering huge casualties, they basically cleaned up the remaining mutants in the local area. The pacified Washington, DC began to flourish. With the support of the Capital Brotherhood of Steel, caravans were started between several large gathering sites, and six months later reached a business agreement with the Pittsburgh Industrial Group.

The positioning of the Black Cross also gradually changed from the private legion to a part of the capital Steel Brotherhood. The relationship between the two gradually began to merge. The Black Cross was like a more secular part of the Brotherhood, and the Brotherhood was the source of Black Cross technology and equipment. Especially after the Brotherhood began to absorb outstanding members among the Black Cross members, the combination of Adam and Elder Lyon's daughter Sarah - the leader of the "Pride of Lyon" Special Forces - further strengthened the integration of the two forces.

When Adam thought of his wife, he felt a sense of warmth. Sarah originally wanted to participate in his long-distance inspection activities, but she was six months pregnant. With the joint advice of Adam and her father-in-law, Elder Lyon, she finally let her stay in the Pentagon in the capital to rest. Based on Adam's understanding of Sarah, it is estimated that only one week after giving birth, Sarah would rush across the United States with reinforcements all the way.

As the Black Cross steadily expanded its territory, Adam gradually felt a little uncomfortable. He was not dissatisfied with his life as a leader. In fact, he felt very grateful for his current life. But in his heart, something seemed to be restless, making him constantly recall the crazy and passionate adventures he met with his mysterious friend Su Jing, who was the two of them and launched on the wasteland.

He gradually realized that he might never be able to adapt to a comfortable life, his heart and soul were calling for wild adventures, and the life wandering in this world full of dangers was what he really wanted. Something in Adam's body, who walked out of the 101 refuge, had been awakened forever, and he had been completely attracted by the dangerous and adventurous life.

Sarah saw this, so one day, at the summit, Sarah took the initiative to propose a task of establishing outposts in various parts of the wasteland.

"Only Adam, you are qualified for this task."

At this moment, Adam felt the same heart as his beloved wife. After he handed over his daily affairs to his father, Dr. James, Adam led a large caravan of hundreds of people on a long journey to the other side of the wasteland. This long-term task may take him several years, or even more than ten or twenty years, but he knew that with his beloved wife's company, he would be invincible.

"What's in front?" A subordinate sat in a truck pulled by a two-headed cow and looked at the sky with a telescope. "It seems that something is falling down in the sky?"

The members of the caravan all looked up one after another. Adam had the best eyesight. He looked at it for a while and suddenly realized the danger and shouted loudly:

"Everyone, lie down!"

The huge object that was approaching quickly fell into the desert in front of the caravan. With a loud bang, huge waves of sand and smoke rushed towards him. The shock wave made the two cows shaking. The earth under everyone's feet trembled for more than ten seconds before calming down.

"Ph, ph, ph, ph," Adam spitted out the sand in his mouth. He pressed the cowboy hat on his head that was almost blown away, untied the hunting rifle on his back, and walked vigilantly towards the falling objects in the dust.

On the beach hundreds of meters away, a huge disc-shaped object was inserted into the sand and was slowly sinking due to gravity. It looked like a building falling from the sky, with a diameter of more than 100 meters. It seemed that it had suffered a lot of damage during the fall, and some of the places where the engine was still burning, and small explosions were happening from time to time.

A hole suddenly broke on the surface of the disc-shaped object, and both hands stretched out from it.

Then a man who looked a little embarrassed, and a cute brown-haired girl tried hard to crawl out of it. Adam opened his mouth and let go of the hunting rifle. The man looked so familiar.

“…Su Jing?!”

Su Jing raised his head and waved to his friends.
