Chapter 0516: 28 Years After the Collapse of the Soviet Union
Chapter 0516
The sun is rising. Those who have woken up in the wasteland know that they have survived another day, and as for those who have not woken up, may they rest in peace.
Preston's and the others had forgotten how many days they hadn't slept peacefully, and they had been tossed like a flock of frightened birds, so they slept very deeply that night, and they didn't wake up until dawn.
The night was uneventful, which calmed down a few civilians, and it seemed that Murphy's mother's prediction was still correct, and she traveled through the entire Federation and finally found this place to settle down...... A new life starts today.
If you want to settle down, you can't make up like you did yesterday. Although there are a few houses on the sheltered hill that have not collapsed, they still need to be repaired for a long time.
Stegie is a mechanic who is pleased to find that there is a working workshop equipment in the sheltered hills. Qi Feng had seen this thing before, and thought it was a scrapped and dilapidated machine tool.
"Hehe, don't underestimate this workshop kit!"
Sterji plucked a few white wooden fences from around the house, made them into strips of the same length and width with the tools of the workshop, nailed them into square planks, and removed a door from the scrapped car, which was cut and polished by the workshop...... After working for a while, I made a wooden plank covered with iron sheets...... Stergie cleared a hole in the wall, just in time to fill the board, and with a bang, he patched the wall.
Sterjee clapped his hands: "How's it going, it's not bad, right?"
Qi Feng didn't say anything, but Nora was quite interested. She also tried to operate the workshop a few times, and then said happily, "My house is going to be repaired too! ”
Steji patted his chest, "Don't worry, Ms. Nora. I'll show you how to use it. But...... Prestown seems to have something to do with you. ”
"Oh?" Nora looked around, "What about the others?"
He said he was going to patrol the area to see if there were any weak points in the defense of the sheltered hills. It should be right next to the river. ”
When Qi Feng and the others found Preston, he had already circled the sheltered hill several times, observing the surrounding terrain.
“…… It is surrounded by water on all sides, and the dwellings in the middle are raised, higher than the river beach, and the terrain is well defended...... The water in the south is so deep that only a few embankments need to be repaired...... The river in the north is shallow and narrow, and there are mountains on the opposite bank, which are condescending, so it is necessary to send people to focus on patrolling...... To the west is the only access road, a wooden bridge, which should be posted...... The eastern border is narrow, the water is wide, and the problem is not big. ”
It was evident that Prestown was an experienced veteran who was very vocal about the community's defenses.
Nora shrugged, "But ...... We don't have that many people, do we?"
Now there are only three or two kittens in the whole sheltered hill. If you don't count Qi Feng Sirinora, only Prestown is a fighting person, and the other one is a Stergi who can work, and Murphy's mother is seventy or eighty years old and has no hope, and the rest is a couple, June Long and Marcy Long......
Preston nodded: "So, we have to recruit more villagers, the conditions here are very good, publicize it, there will be villagers to defect." The more help the sooner done. In addition, I would like to reorganize the Volunteers. You...... Would you like to help?"
Nora didn't hesitate: "Of course. ”
Preston said happily: "Great...... So, while we were on the way, we heard that there was a civilian settlement that needed the help of the Volunteers...... Obviously, we didn't have the time to take care of it at the time, so I'd like to ask you to take a look at it......"
Presstown marked the approximate location of the village called "Ten Pines" on Nora's PP Kid's map.
"Once the news spreads that the Volunteers are back in action to protect the people, we will be able to gather our ranks much faster. ”
Nora put on her power armor, grabbed her six-barreled Gatling gun, and set off.
Qi Feng followed and asked her quietly, "You're not looking for a son?"
Nora in the power armor spoke in an electronic voice coming from the speaker: "I thought about it...... Those people weren't ordinary human traffickers, and they definitely had a reason for catching Shane. They are organized, they have manpower, they have intelligence, they have technology...... And I don't have anything now. If you want to get Shane back, I can't do it alone. I want to rebuild the sheltered hills and the Volunteers...... Otherwise, even if Shane returns, he will live in a precarious environment......"
Qi Feng scratched his head, should he be said to be a lawyer?
Nora, step by step, left the village and set out in the direction of Ten Pine Village to the east. She didn't let Qi Feng and Xili go with her. Yesterday's deathclaw raid made Nora realize how difficult it is to survive in the wasteland...... It just so happened that now that she had achieved a small success, she felt that she should exercise her ability to be independent.
Qi Feng wasn't worried much about Nora. After all, they are the sons of the plane with the halo on their heads...... Don't look at the deathclaw move lost yesterday, but if you really fight, Nora can still win in the end......
Ciri wandered around the Sanctuary Villa a few times, and then became a little bored, and ran to say hello to Qi Feng, she was going to go outside.
Qi Feng: "The world is so big, so you want to go and see it?"
Ciri rolled her eyes: "I'm just going to see if there's any prey......"
Oh, it turned out to be going hunting. I have to say that the food thing should really be planned for a rainy day...... The two members of the Long family were processing the deathclaw meat that they had brought back yesterday, cut into knives, and hung in the sun to dry...... Although there are a lot of them, it is definitely not good to sit on the mountain and eat empty...... I don't know that the harvest can only be harvested in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, so it's good to accumulate more rations.
Qi Feng nodded: "Go ahead, don't run too far." I also need to gather a little bit of information and make some preparations for the next exploration......"
Ciri blinked and said curiously, "Where are you going to gather intelligence?"
Qi Feng smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, the people of Benshan have their own tricks!"
"Mysterious and mysterious......" Ciri pursed his lips, didn't ask much, shook his head, and went to the wasteland alone with a sword.
"Hey, you wait!" Qi Feng called out to her.
Ciri looked back: "What's wrong?"
Qi Feng asked seriously, "I have to confirm, you ...... There's no road idiot, can you get it back yourself?"
Ciri almost stumbled, and replied angrily, "I'm a witcher, and tracking and finding my way is my forte...... Why don't you ask Nora?"
Qi Feng: "Ahem, she has a map with beep small print, what is there to worry about?...... Okay, you just don't get lost...... Remember to go early and come back early. ”
Ciri raised his hand with his back to him, and in a few flashes he was gone.
Qi Feng pinched his chin and nodded secretly: "This trick ...... It's a quick walk. Look...... I don't think there's a CD yet? It's too IMBA......"
After sending these two away, Qi Feng turned around for a while, and saw Murphy's mother basking in the sun under the big tree in the east of the village. She was too old and in poor health, so although the village was now understaffed, no one let her work.
Qi Feng went up to say hello: "Old man, it's early!"
"You're early, boy. How...... Are you here to chat with my useless old woman......" Murphy's mother paused, her eyes deepened: "Or ...... Seeking the guidance of the Eye of Heaven?"
