Andy's residence is also in the center of Novak, within the fence, about 400 meters away from the Boone house, and is a simple tin house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Judging by the location of the room and the size of the shape, it was clear that the former Ranger was far inferior to his old colleague.

Although in terms of combat effectiveness and importance, each Ranger can withstand at least two masters of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion and ten qualified veterans.

A lame leg and a severed hand is a serious injury in any world, especially when it comes to a warrior, and it basically means that your combat career is over.

Yang Guo's strange feeling of replacing his left hand with a broken right hand is just an example after all. Normal people lack arms and legs, and their combat effectiveness decreases by more than eighty!

The coordination of the legs and hands is rarely valued before the real disability. There are always some people who naively think that the missing parts on their bodies are just like that, kicking with broken hands and biting with broken feet, biting with broken feet, this is treating people as zombies.

The imaginary predicament will never have the despair that it has when it is faced.

For example, Andy definitely didn't think about it, but he just limped his leg, and he would be so disappointed.

When Ling Qi and his party knocked on the door of the ranger's house, it was difficult for everyone to connect the down-and-out bearded uncle in front of them with the happy ranger.

"Who are you~uh~?"

Andy, who was full of wine, swept over Ling Qi and his party, staying on the wood elf and Ling Qi for a few more moments. Especially the ebony ring on the hand of the wood elf, he actually showed a hint of surprise when he saw it, but it quickly dimmed, and he didn't know what he saw.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Ranger, we are some passers-by, who heard your story and came to visit. Of course, we have some things to ask you for. I am confident that as a member of the NRC, you will not sit idly by and watch any law-abiding citizen fall into trouble. ”

Ling Qiyi said in a straight voice, this hand is of no use to some people, but some people eat this set.

When Andy heard this, he first showed mockery on his face, with bitterness at the corner of his mouth, but when he saw Ling Qi's sincere eyes, he immediately sighed helplessly and moved aside a little.

"Come in first. ”

When everyone entered the house, they found that the space of less than 40 square meters was not as dirty as they imagined.

Although all the furnishings in the room were crowded together, the stove, the dining table, the refrigerator, the bed, all of them were unpartitioned, and the only thing that was distinguished was a bathroom in the corner that was covered by a curtain.

But compared to ordinary people, this place is already full of organs, and there is nothing missing.

Obviously, the townspeople of Novak are still very polite and have a lot of expectations for this retired Ranger, and the only thing that is downcast is probably his own heart.

Novak had just been built, and there weren't many people in the central area, and even Jenny, who claimed to be the manager, still lived outside, in a relatively intact building. Maybe it's because she's deliberately putting on a show, but it can also reflect from the side that it's already an honor to live in the heart of Novak.

Here, in addition to the travelers who pay the high rent, there are indispensable talents who have contributed a lot to Novak, such as the two sharpshooter sentries who work day and night shifts! Andy may not have done much to Novak, but he is definitely a talent.

As is customary, Ling Qi first warmly comforted Andy's condition, and the bearded man really began to complain about his leg injury.

To say that this man's character is really good, he was also an impeccable good person before the war. He has been wounded in his right leg three times, and except for one accident, he has been the victim of the enemy's tricks in the last two meetings.

His so-called enemy is, of course, Caesar's Legion, which is in full swing with the NRC, and the large forces of the Legion are blocked opposite the Hoover Dam, but the small troops are sneaking in from land and water, and are blooming more in the Mojave wasteland, making the NRC anxious and losing the other. Neptune's tragedy was the work of Caesar's legions, though in part because they brought the wolf into the house.

Andy, as a glorious Ranger, can often be found at the forefront of battles everywhere. Once, in an abandoned house, he found a child hiding in a closet and was trying to get him out.

As a result, the child, who was still full of panic a moment ago, directly showed a cruel smile after Andy approached, and took out a fragmentation grenade hidden behind him-

Rumble!

The glorious Ranger Andy became an even more honorable wounded.

Unfortunately, while he was recuperating from his injuries, the place where he was temporarily stationed was raided by the legion again, and he had to wear his wounds into battle.

To say that a ranger is a ranger, Andy, who has not healed from his injuries, with the cooperation of a small number of soldiers, was stunned to beat twice the number of legionnaires into remnants, and even pursued them all the way back.

As a result, the same thing happened again, this time with a pregnant woman who fell on the road!

This time, the enemy did not use fragmentation bombs, but plasma mines!

The huge impact made Andy's leg that had not fully recovered lame again, and the huge radiation energy directly caused his lame leg lesion, and a large number of bone marrow cells quickly died. In this way, Andy became a disabled person completely.

In fact, as a Ranger who was wounded in the line of duty, Andy could have spent his days on the territory controlled by the NRC.

But he deplored the ordinary soldiers who fought side by side with him, but were dragged down by the kindness of his woman, and felt shameless in the face of his former colleagues, so he simply announced his retirement, and ran to this bird place to hide and lick his wounds.

"Those bitches of the Legion like to use these dirty methods! But what can we do, even if we meet ten or a hundred times, I can't do it. ”

Andy finally made a summary and said a helpless sigh.

He may not be a good soldier with iron and blood, but he is definitely a good man with flesh and blood.

There have long been relevant orders within the NPC, and in wartime, regardless of men, women, and children, once it is determined that it is an enemy or suspects a potential threat, it will be killed.

This is war, cruel and inhumane, no matter what the world is, no matter what the battle!

I can't use the lives of my own soldiers to pay for the morality of bullshit. Do you like to use human bombs? Then I'm going to kill all the people on your side, and not a single one will be left.

Don't think it's crazy, love is meant for one's own people, preached in times of peace, and for those who have not experienced war.

In the war, there is never sympathy and innocence, no poison and no husband, and no mercy in the army. Righteous war? It's like a "true, good, and beautiful" deathclaw knight.

"It's not your fault, if it weren't for you, those soldiers would have been annihilated by the Legion, and you at least avenged them in advance. ”

Ling Qi said something sincere, he didn't think that other people's insistence was wrong. Everyone can have their own attachments, as long as you don't get in my way, I can judge from a fair point of view. If you have become an enemy, then...

Faced with Ling Qi's comfort, Andy was silent. He wanted to think so, but he couldn't.

"Say, what are you coming to me for, except for the things in the army, I can't disclose them, if it's just some help within my ability, I will definitely provide it. ”

Andy broke the silence with his mouth open, his tone a little relaxed, but his expression tired.

"Of course, when you look at me now, you know that I can't help much. If you're in need of help with your battles, then go to Boone, he's a cold man, but he's a good-hearted man. ”

Ling Qi raised his eyebrows, and said, "You probably didn't know that I had already occupied the magpie's nest and lived in Boone's house.

Good guys? Maybe in Andy's eyes, all those related to the NRC are good guys.

"Ahem, yes, there's a lady on my team who has mild radiation sickness, and the effect of raditrine is very limited. So I'd like to ask, Mr. Ranger, who has been fighting in various radiation zones all year round, probably has a better treatment. ”

Ling Qi once again talked about the newcomer's illness, asking for people and being asked for can get closer, it just depends on how to operate.

Andy, who didn't even want to kill the enemy's old and weak women and children, really limped in front of Liu Yun, who was a little nervous. He didn't take the pulse, took a closer look, and then limped to a metal box on a wooden shelf.

"It's not radiation, it's adaptation. They weren't mercenaries, they were well-equipped, but they didn't have the momentum of battle-hardened. And the lady and the chubby gentleman were obviously pampered, and the child didn't look like an outsider. Are you going to New Vegas? Is it the way back? I think you and your friend are more like mercenaries, and the three of them are the ones being escorted. ”

Andy chattered, this ranger's observation is indeed amazing, and the newcomers immediately became vigilant, but Ling Qi shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly.

"It doesn't matter, does it. ”

Ling Qi said casually, as if by acquiescence, and as if there was something in his words.

Andy, who was walking over with a white medicine jar on the other side, was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded:

"Of course, I have no interest in your origins, let alone any ill will. ”

"Actually, before I became a Ranger, I also worked as a bodyguard for a while, and I was lucky enough to visit Liberty City on the outskirts of New Vegas's casino. ”

Ling Qi was stunned for a moment, he thought that the rangers had been trained since childhood.

Andy in remembrance didn't see Ling Qi's surprise, he handed the porcelain medicine jar directly to Liu Yun, watched her catch it, and then instructed:

"This is a secret drug made within the NRC, specially used to coordinate physiological functions, in addition to treating water and soil discomfort, swallowing a spoonful a day can also play a role in resisting radiation in a short period of time. Also, it's best to open it up first so that you don't get startled. ”

Liu Yun opened it and looked at it, and was stunned, and there was a faint bitter taste in the air.

Ling Qi leaned over and saw that it was a jar of dark green paste, smelling a smell that was slightly like grass juice, and couldn't help frowning:

"Herbs?"

"It's Chinese medicine. ”

Andy was surprised that someone recognized such a thing, but immediately began to correct the wrong wording.

"This is a traditional Chinese medicine that is carefully brewed according to the ancient medical techniques that originated from Dongzhou. ”

Is there a difference?

Ling Qi complained in his heart, but did not refute it.

"Captain~"

Liu Yun looked at Ling Qi a little weakly, obviously distrustful of this can of green stool.

Ling Qi was much more confident than her, it wasn't him who took the medicine left and right, and Andy had no reason to harm them.

"This is indeed a good medicine, you should put it away first. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, this clear attitude of superiors and subordinates, Andy couldn't help but start to doubt his previous speculation again.

Then, the group chatted with the ranger for a few more words, but did not come up with any useful information. Seeing that it was not early, Ling Qi said goodbye and left.

As he left, he glanced at the metal box on the shelf, thinking that this Ranger should still have some oil.

As soon as they left Andy's quarters, about a hundred meters away, behind a humble hut, the old woman Jenny was staring resentfully at the backs of several people, and whispered to another male dwarf who was less than her waist tall:

"What do you think of those two-legged sheep?"

The male dwarf greedily stared at Liu Yun, the only female among the five, until the other party's figure disappeared completely, then he wiped the saliva hanging on his lips, and responded in a hoarse voice:

"The goods you provide this time are not easy to handle, according to our trading rules, you should completely control the goods before we will pay. ”

"The Kara you promised last time hasn't been delivered yet. Now I have taken a few outsiders to fill up, I really think that our money was robbed. ”

When Jenny heard this, she immediately knew the dwarf's thoughts, narrowed her eyes, and said in a dark voice: "Hmph, now that there are NRC troops everywhere outside, your business is probably not going to be good." Not to mention that I am here, I will make it convenient for you when you do it, even if you only give you a list, can you refuse? This is Novak, you go to other places to arrest people and see if they will be stabbed out and shot to death!"

"Kara's matter, I could have done it for you tonight, it's all these outsiders, interfering. However, I've already arranged for Boone to be transferred, so you can send some more men tonight and catch her all together!"

"It's a big deal this time, I only need 1,000 caps for Kara's share, and the child in her belly will be included. ”

"As for the other fat sheep, hehe, a total of 3,000 bottle caps is not expensive, five are rare goods with fine skin and tender meat, especially if you look at that short man, how handsome he looks. ”

Jenny said, the gnome beside her had a tent bulging out of her lower body, apparently with some special hobby.

"But, among these five people, there are still dead claws..."

"Hmph! What about the Deathclaw Knight! His deathclaw is not with him at all, is it possible that with your professional means, you can't even hold a tiger without claws? His identity will only make his value higher, 3,000 bottle caps, if you change to the usual, it will not be enough to buy him alone!"

"And, as I just heard, he was spending a lot of money at Cliff's shop. You say, how many bottle caps should he have brought with him?plus the treasure of the legendary Deathclaw Knight~ hehe!"

Jenny didn't worry about the slave trader not taking the bait at all, this kind of opportunity to meet the inside and outside is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

As for what she had heard recently, the news from Prime's side that it was said that the Deathclaw Knight had single-handedly overturned more than 50 thugs, and it was still in the terrain of the hotel that the ghost would believe it!

Fifty to face? Ask Sergeant Captain Hanlon, the commander-in-chief of the Rangers, believe it or not! Ask that stupid, dirty, slutty, disgusting dwarf believe it or not!

"It's done!"

The dwarf's eyes were red, his veins were swollen, and he completely threw the risk and the like to the back of his mind.

"I'll bring someone over tonight and get the powerful anesthetic that I just got my hands on recently, I don't believe that the Deathclaw Knight is really a deathclaw!"

"Hmph, you'd better arrange it for me, if I bring someone over for a closed meal, you can wait to pay for it with your life!"

In the end, the dwarf also threatened Jenny, but was directly ignored by this partner.

"Okay, it's not the first time, what so much nonsense, go and prepare, I'm not used to seeing that little slut Carla with a arrogant face all day long! And that bullshit dead claw knight, when the time comes, don't forget to give me a voice from the ward if you taste it, hehe~~"

Jenny, an old woman who has always been majestic and upright in front of outsiders, would even make such a lewd smile.

"Hehe~ Don't worry, although I'm not interested in big and tall, there will always be someone who is good at this. Deathclaw Knight, even I want to ride it and try it, hehehehe~~"

Ling Qi, who was far away, of course didn't hear these conspiracy remarks about him. He took his teammates around the town again until sunset, when he returned to Boone's quarters.

Before entering the house, Ling Qi smelled a smell of barbecue wafting from the house, which made people sniffle and rumble in his stomach.

Especially the newcomers who have just adapted to the rhythm of life in the wasteland, even their eyes are green.

Knocking on the door, Ling Qi was slightly surprised to find that it was Boone. Unexpectedly, it was not the reconnaissance battalion soldiers who roamed the wilderness all year round, but the vase-like woman of Kara.

The layout of Boone's house is three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, which is basically a comfortable suite. Compared to Andy's family, it's no wonder that Carla writes a sense of superiority on her face all day long.

She may be a brainless woman, but she does have a man who can work hard.

Boone smiled and nodded with Ling Qi and the others, which was regarded as a greeting. He is indeed not a person who is happy with words, although he has a happy smile on his face, he will not share it with others, and will only silently hide the sweetness in his heart.

"Oh~ you're back! Come and try the wild fat beef rolls I made myself, which are all made of fresh meat, and I have carefully cooked them, and only Boone in the whole world has tasted them. ”

When everyone entered the hall, the little woman happened to come out of the kitchen with a plate, her face full of smugness, and she still loved to show off.

To be sure, this kind of food probably wouldn't even be on a restaurant table before the war, but in the wasteland, it's a rare delicacy.

"That's a real honor, I just hope it doesn't taste too good, otherwise we won't be able to taste such delicious food when we go to New Vegas." ”

Ling Qi has always known how to please others, especially women.

Kara put down her plate, satisfied with Ling Qi's flattery. She then sighed softly again, looking at Boone pitifully, but the man who had been smiling before shook his head firmly.

"Carla, Vegas isn't as rosy as you think, and we probably only have enough money to pay for the immigration fee to move into Las Vegas. If you stay outside in Liberty City, the security there is not as good as Novak. And your current physical condition is not suitable for traveling. ”

Anyone who sees the glitz and glamour of New Vegas from afar aspires to live a life of luxury and ease.

As the best-preserved place in the entire post-war United States, New Vegas is probably the only paradise in the wasteland. Unfortunately, only those who have actually been there know what the Golden Grotto is, which allows you to spend the wages you have worked so hard for a whole month in five minutes.

It is indeed a paradise for the rich, but it is still a hell for the poor.

When it comes to the other party's family affairs, Ling Qi and the others don't have much to say. Everyone sat down to eat and drink, and Kara went to prepare other food. Looking at the reincarnators who praised his wife's craftsmanship, Boone's face also rippled with the warmth of happiness. A simple family never needs much, a little cheap happiness is enough.
