After paying a huge price, Caesar's army established a West Bank ferry downstream of the Colorado River, which could ferry people on a small scale. ←, this camp with high military value was strictly guarded. With this stronghold as the center, the legion's commando, assassins and spies began to spread in the Mojave Desert. In rare cases, some "guests" would also be ferried from this ferry.

Eve sat on the ferry, her emotions swept into the orderly camp.

Compared with the NCR's freedom and scattering, Caesar's camp always filled with a serious and tense atmosphere. The soldiers here were serious and meticulous when practicing. She saw Caesar's iconic tyrannical criminal law, with several crosses erected at the entrance of the camp, with several people tied to it, both men and women, all still alive, but dying. The signs were hung around their necks, some of which read "drug dealers", some read "thieves", and some read "resistance".

Until they hung there and rotted and turned into bones, these crosses would stand there. This was Caesar's act of proclaiming his sovereignty, he enjoyed the feeling of personality worship, and even he began to believe that he was really the son of the gods, and was ordered to rule the wasteland. Eve thought to himself, but she was not surprised that she had such a deep understanding of his mentality.

【Suddenly the dusk became bright

Because it is drizzling falling at this moment.

Maybe it has fallen. It's raining

It was undoubtedly something that happened in the past.

Whoever hears the rain falls, will recall it

At that time, the happy fate appeared to him

A flower called a rose

And its wonderful, bright red colors.

This is the drizzle that covers the window glass

Will be in the abandoned suburbs

Light up in a courtyard that no longer exists

Black grapes on the rack. Moist twilight

Bring me a voice, the voice I long for,

My father is back, he is not dead.

She whispered this poem that she had surging from the depths of her memory, and undoubtedly the day of being a small librarian in Dawn Town was the best and most memorable time in her life. From the dusty past, she found a world that was different from the cold and cruel world now. In that world there were poets, philosophers and novelists, flowers and fruits that had disappeared on the earth today, and those disappearing virtues had hope for the future. At that time, the infinite power of the atoms had not been discovered, and everyone believed that this world would inevitably move towards a brighter future.

Perhaps it was from that time that I began to think about how to rebuild the once prosperous civilization and how to regain peace and poetry back to this devastated land. This proposition seemed to have become a main theme of her life. She was fiddled with by the hands of fate. She was pushed to the spotlight of the storm and clouds, and unknowingly had the power to influence the world.

"arrive."

She raised her head and saw the dark camp on the river bank and above the mountains. It was like a giant god entrenched in place, breathing out soldiers and slave workers. She saw the young boy scouts running back and forth on the long steps, trying to unearth more power from their weak bodies. These people had made the mark of Caesar from their birth, and they unconditionally worshiped the man imprinted on gold coins and regarded the bull flag as the meaning of life.

The workers in this huge ant nest carry materials up and down, and carry the materials transported from the rear to the camp on the top of the mountain on their backs. These people come from conquered tribes, both men, women, young and old. They are slaves, and in Caesar's context, they do belong to "humans", but are cheap property. The penultimate class is "women". These women are descendants of soldiers of the army. They do belong to "people", but are regarded as male appendages and possessions, and an ornament to show off their own force and power in this cruel society.

If I voted for the Caesar Legion, then the best result was to be one of the concubines of a senior executive. Eve had a sneer on the corner of her lips, and she knew this better than anyone else. Even if her abilities exceeded everyone here, the most important meaning of existence for these people was to be the mother of children and the high-quality uterus that gave birth to children.

She would never accept this kind of fate like a beast in captivity.

"Confiscate the weapons." The Imperial Guard meticulously checked her body to make sure she would not pose any threat to the supreme master. She stretched out her arm and let the Imperial Guard wearing sunglasses touch her with her hands. The touch of these people was not as good as the butcher's half-small pork. She remembered that the last time she saw them, these people were not used to wearing sunglasses.

Caesar's tent was at the highest point of this mountain. After much inspection, she finally opened the disappointing door of the tent.

Caesar was older than she remembered. She knew that he had entered the twilight years of his life. With his death, the army might be divided, and might be unified into a new legion under the iron fist of another powerful man. He had already made an indelible mark on this legion, but as he weakened, the legion had already had the vitality to run independently from him. Even if Caesar returned to heaven, the legion would still operate according to the regular rules he had set for it, destroying everything in this wasteland, or being destroyed by others.

"You're finally here." The old man sitting in the chair showed his signature smile.

"I'm back, father." Eve stood proudly, even though she had been polished to pieces by the world, she would never bend her knees to the tyrant like everyone else.

"I heard that someone saw something strange in the desert. The official NCR received a report saying that someone saw a series of 'UFOs'."

Before having a video conference with Mr. House, Adam seemed to mention this matter unintentionally.

"Although the guess is related to UFOs found in the desert before, I noticed that these 'sequential flying objects' were called 'balloons' in the report, and it felt like they were not alien equipment, but some kind of hot air balloon formation. I said, Su, this was not what you created, right?"

"no."

"Can you look into my eyes when you speak?"

"Okay. We did it."

Su Jing shrugged. Today he wore a military uniform with a black cross logo, which complemented the straight black naval uniform of the girl beside him. The two men got the uniforms from somewhere. Su Jing claimed that the military uniform was an indispensable part of a modern army, and threw out a whole vehicle of black army dresses for all the members of the army to change into. Although he was quite suspicious of this willful order, Adam still ordered all his subordinates to wear them.

I have to say that after uniformly dressing, the momentum of these people is indeed different. The clean and shiny military uniforms and regular metal epaulettes made these former outlaws look a bit civilized, and even more powerful than the NCR officers. Adam estimated that Su Jing had established a production line in a corner of the wasteland. Since he could produce a large number of clothes, the corresponding series of light industries probably had a considerable foundation. He had only been here for a few days?! How could these things be built so quickly?!

The main members of the Black Crusade were nothing more than wilderness wanderers, robbers, human traffickers, East Coast residents, and even a small number of capital fraternities and exiled Incredible Party. After years of training, this group of people has become a carefree whole. The unified uniform has established a sense of group and a sense of belonging for them. This neat military uniform may be more valuable than anything they have seen before, and even exudes an elegant temperament away from the wasteland.

Women always love beauty. After changing into the "consul" suit specially made for her, Cassidy turned in front of the mirror for more than half an hour, and then claimed that she would wear this suit to sleep, and reluctantly agreed to try to become a politician who doesn't have any face. Anyway, Su Jing wanted to train her to become a spokesperson for the NCR, so she was so happy to make her a little more beautiful, enough to scatter the eyes of these local buns on the wasteland. He made a list of luxury goods. Almost scared the businesswoman to sit on the ground. However, after painful thinking, Cassidy did not lose his mind and packaged himself into a local rich man who could blind people, but crossed out all the things on it, believing that this did not match the president of the Republic that Su Jing wanted to cultivate her into.

"When you really become the president of the Republic, these luxury goods will no longer be so conspicuous." Su Jing picked up the list. "The extended bulletproof sedan may not be seen by Kimball, who is the president of the Republic now. However, in a few years, as long as you are a rich man, you can afford it. I promise. We can bring earth-shaking changes to this wasteland."

"House's messenger is here." Someone was circulating outside.

In Adam's office, four Black Cross Caravan leaders waited for the negotiating opponents in carefully designed positions. Sharon Rose in black civilian outfit. Cassidy sat behind the desk, Adam in a simple military uniform stood by the window holding his hands, while Su Jing leaned carelessly in a side armchair. In his arms was a cute one-armed brown-haired naval officer.

Adam stared at the two guys who were biting their ears as if no one was around, and suddenly felt that this position did not seem to be particularly cautious.

House's messenger is a security robot, which is very famous. He never uses real people as his representatives and only trusts his subordinates' robots.

[I have to say that your uniform left a deep impression on me. The person holding the gun was just a wanderer and a scattered bravery. The person with a uniform was the army.] An image of a middle-aged man appeared on the screen of the chest of the security robot rolling in with a wheel. To be precise, it was just a static photo. The man in the photo was elegant and had a calm and comfortable demeanor. This graceful sense of intimidation was something Adam had never encountered in his previous life, and it was a temperament that only the superiors who had truly seen the world would have.

[Who will introduce me? I haven't asked for advice yet, who is this beautiful lady?]

Even if Robert House himself was not present, he seized the initiative on the field almost instantly.

"I... General Manager of the Black Cross Caravan, Sharon Rose, Cassidy." Cass stuttered, obviously a little nervous.

[Very good, can I call you Cas? From the frustrated man at Mojave's outpost to the current big businessman, you have found a good breakthrough for your life. But as a fellow businessman, I advise you to quit drinking for a while, which is very bad for your health.]

"Why are you..."

[Then what about this handsome young man? I swear, if I were two hundred years younger, I would be jealous of you.]

"Adam, CEO of the Black Cross." Adam saluted him gracefully.

[Ah, general manager, executive president. So I'm afraid this is your board chairman? I feel familiar with going back two hundred years ago.] The robot turns to Su Jing sitting on the chair.

"I'm just a technical director. Just talk." Su Jing waved his hand indifferently, "This is...my secretary."

【Good afternoon, handsome girl.】

The robot's camera seemed to stay on Gaiki's uncovered metal prosthesis for two seconds before turning back to the front.

[Then, welcome everyone to my city. Your arrival makes this place shine! I have seen an infinite possibility in you, just like a saint in history riding a donkey into Jerusalem. It is no exaggeration to say that your arrival makes me feel extremely threatening. But I am a person who loves to challenge. I have crossed countless peaks in my life, and this time is no exception!]

This straightforward conversation style was something Cas did not realize. She couldn't help but look at Adam and tried to get a hint from him, but Adam and Su Jing were not moved.

[First of all, I would like to ask you a question.] The sound made by the robot paused for two seconds. [I believe you have already had a conflict with the Iron Brotherhood, maybe they have been defeated by you.]

Su Jing came out of his nose with a "yes", neither admitting nor denying it.

[Well done! Those greedy vampires. I have long wanted to wipe them out from this land I love. Although your purpose may be inconsistent with me, I would like to thank you sincerely in this matter!]

A crisp applause came from the robot's external speaker.

[However, what we have to face next is a difficult problem. Don’t you think that my resources and your resources can exert several times the original power after integration? We must face this problem together, that is, if our two groups with science and technology as the theme cannot unite, then the competition between us will inevitably create a vicious cycle. I can tolerate you to embezzle my private property, those repconn outdated robots, as well as real estate and land that are worthless. But I cannot accept the reality that we, as civilized people, must fight each other instead of joining together to deal with those greedy politicians.] (To be continued.)
