....................................................

The next day, a group of 4 men and one girl walked through the ruins of the city.

"Based on the map, we have about 10 minutes left to walk" Brandon said, dropping his hand.

Victoria replied "This time we were lucky and we didn't meet anyone on the way, but it's strange, usually mutants always appear here."

"Really strange, but I think we will soon find out ...." Before Brandon could finish his sentence, his squad heard growls, shouts, and the sound of gunfire in the direction they were heading.

"Remember the problem, here it is," Victoria said with a grin.

With just a shrug, Brandon began to say, "Okay gentlemen, keep your eyes open, it looks like a little party is coming."

The men from his squad nodded, and took a fighting stance, and then inspecting the area, began to move in the direction of the shots.

A few minutes later, Brandon saw piles of wood and iron that looked like barricades, among these barricades were many people with bats, pistols and rifles, dressed in modified baseball clothes. In addition to people, there were several makeshift turrets on the barricades that fired at the mutants running at them. In addition to the usual humanoid mutants, there were also two-meter, muscular, mutated dogs that, with their ugly and terrible jaws, tried to gnaw through metal and wood, surprisingly, they even managed to gnaw through metal, but unfortunately, the guards quickly shot these dogs.

After carefully observing for a while, Brandon concluded that the Diamond City guards would handle this problem anyway, but it would still be nice if they intervened, as this would likely leave a more positive impression of his people, so he decided to intervene. into this shootout.

"Okay, guys, we need to help these people, take position and, on my orders, start firing at the mutants, make sure that no dog gets close to you."

After receiving the order, the detachment dispersed across the battlefield, occupying convenient positions, someone hid behind the car, someone entered the destroyed building.

Brandon and Tori hid behind the rubble of a building.

At that time, there was intense shooting at the barricades.

"Denny, these damn mutants are completely crazy, they raided diamond city, is their brain so stupid that they are ready to commit suicide? Even the stupidest drug raider won't climb the barricades where the fucking turrets stand. "One of the guards who had a bald head and sunglasses shouted loudly.

"Look for John's pluses in everything, thanks to this the number of mutants will decrease and the caravanmen will be able to safely reach the city" Answered a young man named Denny.

When John was about to answer, suddenly they heard a voice from the mutants.

"FIRE"

.......

"FIRE"

When Brandon gave the command, his squad began firing their assault rifles, pouring bullets down all the mutants. Indeed, while Brandon and Arthur rebuilt the city, Victoria did not sit idle. She tried to set up a production line for assault rifles in White Stone City, she certainly did not manage to set up a large-scale conveyor line, but several rifles a month is already a good option.

In addition to Brandon's orders, she was also engaged in self-development, thanks to the new access to information, Victoria discovered the world of lasers and energy.

Therefore, when Brandon gave the order to shoot, she stood up to her full height, stretched her arms forward, after which two pistols quickly moved out from under his sleeves, which had a thick wire connected to a clip of pistols, this wire passed through Victoria's sleeve and connected to a strange-looking backpack on her back.

In fact, this backpack was also her design, drawing on ideas from the information given by Brandon, she developed her first prototype of the Hydrogen reactor, located in this very backpack. A hydrogen fuel cell is launched into the left side of this reactor, which can work for a week at maximum use, then hydrogen decomposes into ions, while releasing electrons and an extremely high temperature. In the next cell of the device, the reaction product is removed - steam, which is obtained from the remains of decomposed hydrogen and oxygen obtained from the external environment.

Thus, for the operation of the reactor, only a hydrogen fuel cell is needed, as well as a good system to control the temperature of the reactor.

The advantage of this device is the relative cheapness of the fuel for the reactor, as well as an almost endless source of high temperatures that can be used for various situations, for example, in the future Tory, could theoretically convert this heat into useful things like plasma. Also, in the event of an emergency, the user can start the reactor overheating, which will cause a large energy release in the end, comparable to a shot from a Fat Man.

As a result, having pulled out her pistols, Victoria pulled the triggers, starting to conduct continuous firing from her automatic laser pistols, releasing multiple beams of red energy at enemies, burning holes in the bodies of mutants.

Brandon and his men also kept up with the Tories, firing continuous fire on the mutants.

At first, the monsters were slightly stunned, not expecting that they would begin to die from shots from the back, but quickly understanding the situation, the leader of the mutants in iron rags growled at his subordinates.

"RRRRAAAA, More people, more food, Grrr, kill them, idiots."

Hearing the order of their leader, several mutants separated from the group of attackers on the barricades, and headed towards Brandon and his people.

Several dogs growling, splashing their drool began to run as fast as they could towards Brandon, wanting to quickly get enough of such desirable meat.

Behind them ran Super Mutants with various melee weapons: Sticks, clubs, pipes, pieces of iron, axes, etc.

After them, their smarter brothers followed, they moved between shelters holding a makeshift rifle in their hands, and firing from them.

Brandon, without hesitation, took out a couple of grenades from his backpack, set a timer for 3 seconds, and then threw them towards the enemies.

When the grenades fell, their beeping sound caught the attention of dogs and several mutants.

BOOOOOOM

There was a loud explosion, which scattered meat pieces of mutants all over the street, some of them were lucky and only the fragments touched them, but their luck did not last long, as Brandon's people quickly killed the lucky ones. The only ones who gave them problems were the shooters who were hiding behind cover.

At this time, seeing that these damn weaklings and idiots could not cope with the humans, the mutant leader got angry, roared and, grabbing his assault rifle, ran towards Brandon, but when he almost reached Parker's line of fire, suddenly a laser shot came to his head. , which did not kill him, but caused unbearable pain, stunning him and forcing him to stop.

As he howled in pain, a few seconds later another concentrated laser shot arrived directly at his chest, burning through his armor, leaving a hole in him, and after a few moments, his entire body turned to ash, completely burning him.

In search of the gunman, Brandon began to scan the area, eventually spotting a man with black hair and a hat, wearing a tattered leather cloak that showed blue-looking Jumpsuits and several metal plates covering his chest and arms.

In his hands he held a laser musket, which cooled down after the shot

Seeing him, Brandon chuckled and said to himself.

"So we meet"
