Vault 32

Chapter 45 A Beautiful Morning

Slowly opening his eyes, Liszt woke up on the big soft bed. The sunlight outside the window had filled half of the bedroom, and the warm feeling made him quite comfortable.Gently propping up his body with his hands, he sat on the bed and looked at the decorations in the room, but couldn't help but stretched vigorously, feeling quite at ease.

Rubbing the corners of his eyes with his hands, Liszt suddenly felt unreal as he sat on his big soft bed.Slightly squinting the researcher to look at the sunlight outside the window, following the soft chirping of the birds and the loud noise of chirping, he couldn't help showing a smile: "That's great." He breathed a long sigh of relief slowly, the underground researcher The life-and-death fight in the institute seemed like it was yesterday, but the good life now made him feel so good.

Nearly a month has passed since the deathclaw leak that swept across the entire small town. At that time, with O'Neill's reinforcements appearing in the underground research institute, the absolute overall situation has been completely settled.In the next half month, large-scale troops re-entered the evacuated small city, completely cleaning up the remaining Deathclaws.

And in order to explain to the evacuated citizens, the damaged buildings caused by the battle have been repaired and rebuilt, as if they were no different from before.What's more, the government and the military lifted the blockade of this small town a week ago, and the evacuated citizens have also arranged to return to their homes.Liszt returned to his home at that time, and has been resting comfortably until now.

"Well, it's early in the morning, the sun is really dazzling..."

Gently flipping off the wool blanket on his body, Liszt walked to the kitchen in shorts and made himself a cup of high-quality finely ground coffee.As the mellow and slightly bitter taste emanated from the tip of his tongue, a power also appeared in his body along with the heat down his throat, completely waking him up.Standing in front of the balcony window, he looked at the somewhat desolate street outside, but he couldn't help sighing softly: "Sure enough, the order to evacuate the citizens has still caused this small town to decline."

The deathclaw leak did not cause turmoil across the country. Even the citizens of this small town only got the word that racists attempted to detonate a chemical plant in the eastern suburbs and urgently evacuated the citizens to avoid chemical attacks.Although all citizens have accepted this statement, they can't believe the public security problem in this small city. Almost one-third of the citizens chose to move out immediately, and another third of the citizens also planned to move out. Wait and see for a while.

In almost a month, although it was not a prosperous town, it could not be said to be a depressed town, and it immediately declined.All industries seem to be in a kind of depression, only the moving company is in some kind of abnormal prosperity.Even the original three moving companies worked overtime 24 hours a day to evacuate all the restless citizens to other big cities with good law and order.

"I don't know if I should leave this small town too..."

After taking a sip of coffee, Liszt didn't continue to look at the already empty street, and sighed helplessly, feeling a little emotional about his future.After retiring from the military, he came to this small town and was assigned to work in a car repair shop. However, the depressed market also affected the repair shop. Few customers came to repair cars, and he was also facing the danger of losing his job.

Turning around and walking back to the living room, Liszt was still sitting on the sofa. Although he was about to lose his job, he didn't feel much uneasy.After coming out of the underground research institute, after being interrogated by the secret department and issued a gag order, he was not embarrassed at all.On the contrary, because of his heroic behavior and his help in saving the underground research institute and maintaining the safety of this small town, the secret department directly gave him a reward of 100 million US dollars, which is worthy of his life and death.

"Although I have 100 million US dollars, but knowing that the next nuclear war is coming, how dare I spend it randomly..."

Liszt was sitting on the sofa, leaning on the soft cushions. He seemed to be infected by the depressed and pessimistic atmosphere of the small town outside, and he couldn't help but be a little pessimistic about the future. The nuclear war in 2077 will eventually break out, and he alone cannot stop the increasingly fierce powder keg between the two superpowers.When the nuclear war broke out, human civilization around the world had almost disappeared in just a few hours. Even with the inheritance of the refuge, the human world was already in danger.

Human beings, a species measured in billions, died in batches during the nuclear war that lasted for several hours.Then in the ensuing nuclear winter, they will continue to die in pieces.Almost in less than five years, human beings have almost become extinct. Except for the remnants of human beings hiding in shelters and lingering, [-]% of the human beings outside are already dead.Only the ghouls that have evolved due to radiation are left. Although some of them are still sane, they have nothing to do with the human species.

"No matter what, I don't want to die miserably in that nuclear war!"

Liszt, who was a little upset, shook his head vigorously. He came to this world after dying once, and he didn't want to continue dying.He didn't know if he would continue to travel if he died in this world. As for whether to try it, as a normal person, he didn't want to take risks.After drinking all the coffee in the cup in one gulp, Liszt got up on the sofa. Even though it was almost nine o'clock, he should go to work anyway.

He is still an employee of the auto repair shop. Even if he resigns, he needs to talk to the boss Kyle. After all, the old Kyle is also a retired soldier and has a bad temper. Generous.At least there has never been arrears of wages, and the average monthly salary is about 30.00% higher than other repair shops.

After returning to the bedroom to find his casual clothes, Liszt simply tidied up his appearance, then opened the door and walked downstairs.The entire apartment is now empty, even during the day there is a bleak atmosphere.Liszt turned his head and glanced at the surrounding doors, and shook his head involuntarily: "Am I the only one left now?"

As a neighbor, John has returned to the army and was accepted by a secret department. He moved out of here half a month ago.And most of the neighbors were also worried about the public security of this small town because of the last Deathclaw leak, so they contacted the moving company one after another, and they almost left completely a few days ago.As for Jack and Albin on the first floor, it had been a few days since the funeral, and neighbors who were not familiar with them at all just offered flowers, and in the end it was Liszt who paid for the tombstone.

"It's really a cold tea..."

Muttering slowly, Liszt quickly walked out of the stairs, looked at the sparse pedestrians on the street, shook his head vigorously, wrapped his clothes tightly around his body, and walked forward with his head down.He is already familiar with this kind of thing. No matter which country he is in, people can be regarded as incisive sentences when they go out for tea. It's just a moment of grief.

"Drip-drip--"

But just as Liszt buried his head and walked forward, there was a sound of car horns coming from beside him.He turned his head and looked over, only to find a semi-old car parked beside him, with the window down, a young black guy was looking at him with a bright smile, sticking his head out to pat his body The car door cheered loudly: "Hey, Liszt, do you want a free ride?"

"Gary, you're driving a car sent by a customer to be repaired without permission. Be careful old Kyle will fire you when he gets angry!"

Seeing that young and cheerful black guy, Liszt couldn't help but feel helpless at this guy's heartlessness.But I have to say that his mood also improved because of that bright smile. He walked over quickly and opened the co-pilot's door, and he sat in. Seeing this black boy named Gary driving smartly, he couldn't help but He laughed and said, "If you don't get scolded by old Kyle every month, you will feel uncomfortable all over!"

However, the black boy was not worried. Instead, he turned up the volume on the stereo. Accompanied by the old song, he pretended to take his hands off the steering wheel and beat the beat. He laughed and said, "Our dear The customer gave this car that was about to be scrapped to old Kyle, and the news said that the supply of gasoline in the whole country is limited, if you don’t hurry up and drive more, I’m afraid there will be no chance in the future!”

"Wait, you mean, gasoline is rationed? When did that happen?"

Slightly taken aback, Liszt seemed to have heard some joke, just about to continue joking with the black boy, but his face froze instantly.He suddenly remembered the big event of radiation in his previous life. The year 2060 will be the time when the global oil resources will be exhausted on a large scale. The so-called national limited supply of gasoline is indeed a harbinger of it!
