James Eugene Renault, or according to the name of people close to you, Jim/Jimmy, has lived a pretty good life in recent years.

Because of a series of incidents, parents' dissuasion, brother's news, and various factors, Jim Renault's criminal career came a sudden brake and a big turn a few years ago. He and his brother Tex separated and came to Mar Sarah, where the old mayor of his hometown, Hammond, and his father and mother were waiting for him.

Hammond used his power as a colonial leader to pardon Renault, and Renault also became a local sheriff. He first lived with his parents, and then after marrying his wife Litty, he applied for a mortgage to build a house in the wilderness near the backwater station. After work, he went to his parents' farm to help. He was also a good life.

But there are not without regrets in recent years. The biggest regret is that her wife did not listen to his child John on the issue of their child, which led to a tragedy. After John entered the ghost school, Renault and his wife were waiting for bad news. John had an accident, a transport ship accident, and John died.

The Renault family had no way of knowing that John was not actually dead, but was intercepted by Keha's son, and there was no way of knowing that all this was closely related to his second son Lehman, so the Renault family's heart was broken, and Renault's wife Litty was even more depressed because of the death of the child and was depressed and died soon.

Renault was also hit hard, but fortunately his parents were by his side, and the two old men pulled Renault and comforted him when he almost slid to the edge of darkness again.

If John's "death" is one thing, the second unsatisfactory thing must be that Lehman's whereabouts are unknown. This second son who grew up with the Renault family and was regarded as their own, and still has unknown whereabouts. Renault only knows all kinds of rumors about his younger brother, and even if he uses the relationship between his good brother Tex, who has become the leader of the mercenary, he has not found it.

This has always troubled Renault and made him feel at ease--after all, if the elder sister is like her mother, the elder brother is like her father. The two most difficult relationships in the world that are about [raising you] and [raising you]? Lehman was held in his arms by Renault at the age of age.

So when Comrade Jim Renault was not so sad about his parents' personal parents' affairs, and he was a little uneasy, he was still angry and quarreled with his parents. He felt that his parents would not be sad if they didn't treat Lehman as their biological parents. This was not good.

He didn't see his parents behind him, and he was so worried that he was worried about knowing the truth.

But life still needs to continue. This is the characteristic of human beings. Seventy percent of their life must be spent on physical maintenance. Tres and Carol still have to farm, and Reno also has to maintain public order. This is Mar-Sarah, not Tasanis. People who live in this marginal colony have to do everything by themselves - planting crops and saving their lives.

Renault looked at himself in the mirror, touched his beard, and was about to go out to start work. He was not wearing power armor now, but just wearing some kind of animal skin pants that his mother sewed him, and a coarse top. If it weren't for the multi-purpose combat vest he was wearing, he would look a little different from the sheriff.

Of course, this inconsistency disappeared after he picked up the rifle that turned off the electromagnetic acceleration mode. He immediately became the security leader who made the local criminals frightened. After checking the magazine, grenade and dagger, Renault greeted his parents who were busy stocking up food, and jumped into his vulture car and went out.

He did business when he went out. Not long ago, something unsettling happened at the chant station of the mining site next to his home and the backwater-station - the animals were always missing, and many people were missing, some were found with strange mucus on the bones of some of the animals, and some even claimed that they had seen huge eyes growing on the cattle raised on local farms.

Renault remembered that when he heard this news, he scolded the old cowboy named [Wild Bill] who spread the news everywhere. What did he say at that time? Oh, by the way, this tm is not [Fallout]--Reno thought about these situations and went to the chant station. Although he was not willing to deal with such a mess, this was indeed his scope of work. If someone really made trouble behind the scenes, he had to bring it to justice.

On the way to the Epic Station, Reno soon saw his first landmark building, which was the first house he had borrowed to build before getting married, and later sold it - this was a typical house built with the slag melting boards and wood that the local mine didn't want. It was quite simple, but it was enough to shelter from the wind and rain. Reno met the later homeowner - a couple of miners and their relationship was very good.

Renault approached his old house and stopped the vulture car. He wanted to go and talk to the current owner about the situation nearby, and asked for a bottle of beer, but the sheriff soon discovered something strange--his vulture car was very loud, and the owner should have heard it long ago, and now it is not the time for the mine to work, so why no one came out?

A kind of alertness in his heart made Renault take off his rifle, turn on the insurance, and push forward in a fighting posture. He pushed open the door and entered the house, and found a situation that made him feel cold. The owner's table also had mined ore and settled cash. This was so weird. Unless something big happens, the people here will never leave their property alone. There is a situation here!

Renault cheered up and explored forward with a gun. In another corner of the living room and the dining room, there was an old TV. The TV was still playing the news under extremely bad signals. The content of the news made Renault stunned--the news said that their neighbor, Chau-sara in the Sara system, the entire planet, was destroyed by an alien fleet.

Renault was stunned by the news, and the rifle in his hand drooped. He took a few steps to stabilize the signal and stop the news well, but the abnormal feeling under his feet made him stop like an electric shock. He looked down and found the substance that made him feel abnormal.

On the floor of the room, part of the room was covered with a dark gray layer of things like mold, with wire-like networks on them, like blood vessels - it was this thing that made him step on something soft and elastic.

Renault listened in horror as Cha-Sarah was completely burned by aliens. This news was like a strange story. While watching the strange substances, a strange feeling of anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger. He raised his gun again and retreated quickly, and finally withdrew from his old house.

After jumping into the vulture car, starting and checking the grenade launcher on the vehicle, Renault felt a little more at ease. He started the vulture car, drove a little further before stopping to breathe and think about what was going on just now. Just as he bit off the pack of cigarettes he brought with him with his teeth and was about to smoke a stable mood, the communication of the vulture car suddenly rang.

Lehman connected, and that was Hammond, the colony leader, the old judge on Slow. The current head was already white in his hair. Now, looking through the communication screen of the vulture car, you can still see a clear sense of anxiety - the old man obviously had just finished his meal and had mashed potatoes on the corner of his mouth.

However, at this time, both Hammond and Renault had no time to take into account the elements that would definitely make the two of them tease each other. Hammond spoke first:

"Jimmy, where are you now?"

Renault took a look at the navigation interface of the vulture car in a daze:

"I'm in the backwater station, the hymn station, and the great wilderness that crosses the core area where you are, listen, Hammond, just now on the news..."

"I know," Hammond interrupted Renault, "this is why I contact you. Some aliens completely burned down the surface of the planet Cha-Sarah. Now the federal army is preparing to blockade. I just received an order to withdraw all the people in the core area to the great wilderness. You are there with you and don't move. I will send people here. You and they will set up a forward base in the great wilderness. Damn it, it's just a mess. If you get the forward base, you will soon be a bunch of refugees going to your place, and your parents are also there!"
