Chapter 0534

The gates of Diamond City were locked, and I don't know if it was temporarily closed because of the small armed conflict involving mutants not far away just now, or if Diamond City usually kept its doors closed and only opened briefly at the specified time. When Qi Feng and the three of them came to the door, they didn't look at the steward, only one woman was losing her temper hysterically at a walkie-talkie in front of the door.

“…… The way you defend Diamond City is by keeping me out?!'Oh! look! it's that terrible Piper!' Shut the door!'......"

“…… Listen, I'm a citizen of Diamond City, and you don't have the right to lock me out......"

Qi Feng and the others looked at each other, what's the matter, a citizen of Diamond City was locked out?

The guards on the walkie-talkie did not speak ill of each other, and their voices were quite helpless: "...... I'm sorry, Piper, but Mayor McDonna said you scared everybody......"

Qi Feng couldn't help but look at this when he heard this, this citizen who was locked out of the door......

Speaking of "citizens", it is very rare to find a stable place to live in such a post-apocalyptic wasteland that can reliably guarantee basic personal safety...... As the largest and safest settlement in the Federation, Diamond City is not easy to identify.

Qi Feng remembered the underground bunker city in Fallout 2 again. Not only did the city have a complete defense of walls and turrets, but it also had pre-war technology brought from underground shelters, plus GECK, the creator of Eden, to restore the natural environment...... The citizens of Vault City simply have the posture of thinking that they are an aristocratic class.

Of course, if Qi Feng gets over there, there will be no problem in getting a citizen qualification...... As long as you know calculus, you can shock the examiner over there and successfully get the citizen status of Vault City.

While thinking about it, Qi Feng didn't see anything special about this woman named Piper. Average height, about 20 years old, what do you look like...... It can be called good, with shoulder-length black hair, a brown leather cap, a long red leather trench coat, and a scarf around his neck...... Although the hem and brim of the leather jacket are a little worn out, if you use the wasteland as a standard, you can already be regarded as a type of person who lives a rather refined life.

Can she scare the people of Diamond City?

Qi Feng was a little strange, this was a radiation world, all kinds of ghoul mutant deathclaws were everywhere, and the nerves of the inhabitants of the wasteland should have been tempered quite tenacious...... What kind of ability does this sister have that can make the people of the whole city feel terrifying? In terms of the induction of qi and blood, it is mediocre, similar to ordinary people, and it does not look like it has much combat power.

At this time, the female citizen named Piper also heard the footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, she thought she was well-informed, but she was still shocked by the few in front of her.

If the brand-new blue tights worn by the blonde woman in front of her were still rare, the outfits of a man and a woman behind her were almost blinding......

Piper couldn't help but rub her eyes, and before she could take a good look, two albino radiant deer suddenly appeared, almost causing her to exclaim in fright...... She had seen such a deer with her own eyes, and a single charge that overturned a group of marauders who stood in the way and a wooden checkpoint they had erected......

Fortunately, her eyes were sharp, and she saw the straps tied around the deer's head and neck, as well as the package on its body...... And...... This is the head of a deathclaw?!

Piper felt a little dry in his throat and swallowed his saliva, then quickly adjusted his mood and nodded and smiled at the few people in front of him: "Guys, what are you ...... Want to get into Diamond City?"

Nora nodded, looked at the big iron gate in front of her, and asked, "Is this gate closed?"

"Shhhhh......h......h Just pretend to be a caravan. ”

Nora just wanted to agree, but Qi Feng hurriedly pulled her, and also whispered: "Ahem......! Remember who you are, don't forget. You are the commander of the Volunteers!"

Nora grabbed her hair and smiled embarrassedly at Qi Feng: "No way, professional habits ......"

Qi Feng was surprised: "You...... What kind of professional habit is this?"

Nora spreads her hands: "As a lawyer, in order to get some evidence or testimony, sometimes I use a little disguise in my identity...... It's very reasonable......"

Qi Feng couldn't help but suspect that this legal worker often knew the law and broke the law......

Nora turned her head and coughed, not blinded by Piper, and said to the walkie-talkie and the guards inside, "We, the Volunteers, can we enter the city?"

"Volunteers?" the voice inside visibly hesitated. The reason is not difficult to guess, the prestige of the Volunteers in the Federation can be said to have fallen to the bottom, and many people even believe that the Volunteers have been completely destroyed.

Piper also looked at Nora with some surprise, these people didn't look like the Volunteers, oh, they still looked a little like it, there was a deer with a laser Mauser hanging from its neck, it was indeed the almost iconic weapon of the Volunteers.

When the guards who were inside the door didn't know how to respond, a patrol team in front of them happened to come back and saw Qi Feng and them standing by the door, and the door was closed. They walked up and greeted Qi Feng and the three of them in a friendly manner, and then said to the guards guarding the door through the walkie-talkie: "I'm the patrol, Captain Jayne...... A few of you here just helped us fight off a dozen super mutant mounds. ”

Qi Feng scratched his face, he counted it just now, it was obviously eight super changes......

"Wow!" exclaimed on the other side of the intercom, and then said happily, "That's and...... Welcome! Volunteers. ”

The machinery rumbled, and the huge iron gate was lifted, revealing an entrance-the entrance of the original baseball game spectators, Qi Feng also saw a turnstile for ticket checking, but the crossbar had been removed.

Pupai blinked, and then walked in happily first. I was finally able to go home.

Qi Feng walked into the door and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a big belly walking over, with an unhappy face, and angrily said to Pupai who had just entered the door: "How did you get in?! I have ordered, I am not allowed to open the door for you!"

Piper grimaced at him, "Phew, can you keep Diamond City closed, as long as the door opens, of course I'll be able to come in!"

The middle-aged man was a little impotent and furious: "You, you, I will one day drive your newspaper breaker out of this city with you!"

Piper exclaimed, exaggeratedly, "Wow! The mayor intends to use tyranny to shut down the free media in order to cover up the truth! Tomorrow such leaflets will be plastered all over the green wall!"

……

Qi Feng and Nora looked at each other again, there was still a ...... in this place The ...... Miss Piper, is she a journalist?

"Oh...... It's really rude to snub a new visitor" The chubby middle-aged man obviously couldn't argue with the sharp-tongued reporter lady, forcibly changed the topic and greeted Nora Qi Feng Xiri, "Welcome, this is Diamond City, and I am the mayor here, Medona." ”

"Hmph!, why don't you let outsiders judge him?!" Piper clearly wasn't going to let him go.

Medona glared at her, but turned back anyway, "So, what do you think......?" Miss Piper's report caused some panic in our city......"

Qi Feng scratched his head a little. Let's talk about the profession of journalist...... It's more complicated, as far as Qi Feng knows, among them, the noble ones, in order to reveal the truth, can desperately commit themselves to working in the black brick kiln...... Among them, the despicable ones are profit-seeking, do not hesitate to make things up, deliberately create social contradictions, and even betray the interests of the country and the nation...... As for what kind of Piper it was, he couldn't tell.

Nora chuckled, then said, "According to the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, Congress shall not make laws concerning the establishment of a state religion or the prohibition of freedom of religion, the denial of freedom of speech or the press, or the right of people to peacefully assemble and petition the government...... So, obviously, I can only support the newspaper ......"

"Oooh...... Mayor McDonna raised his hands to his chest, "I didn't mean that...... Uh, well, I'm not going to close her newspaper...... Well, I see a few of them as civilized, not like your average wastelander, welcome to Diamond City, I ...... I still have something to do, so I'm going to get busy first......"

After saying that, the mayor ran away, and the new one was even more difficult to deal with than the reporter.

Piper thanked Nora and invited, "My newspaper is on the left side of the market entrance, so I'd like to give you an interview...... You are not ordinary people. ”

When Piper walked away, Ciri was a little curious, "Newspaper?

Nora explained a little bit, and Ciri didn't understand much, but I'll go there later, and I'll understand when the time comes!

Qi Feng rolled his eyes: "First Amendment?" hehe...... Do you Americans really believe this?"

Nora said, of course, "Is that not? This is the Constitution!" Of course, the amendment only says that Congress cannot interfere, not that no one else can do it...... In fact, newspapers, television, and all the media are controlled by the conglomerates...... Contrary to the original intention of the Founding Fathers, because of the First Amendment, Congress cannot interfere with the control of the media by these conglomerates......"

Qi Feng snorted: "I knew that these words were all fools......

Nora sighed faintly: "If these media can really be trusted, they should at least tell everyone in advance that this war will end in the end of the world......"
