There was no celebration banquet, no merit medals, no little red flowers, not even a few words of praise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ling Qi returned directly to the Lucky Thirty-Eight Casino after the battle, and had a completely unpretentious attitude towards those organized or unorganized people who were welcomed in the middle of the road.

His arrogance and his cold reception of the "meritorious people" almost made the "proud soldiers" who returned to the city directly fry the pot.

However, in the end, they only dissipated.

Because the majestic mechas, the cold and ruthless machines, all looked at them indifferently, which was terrifying.

No one knows better than them about the combat effectiveness of those mechanical units and special units! Courage and fearlessness are the highest evaluations of human soldiers, but for mechanical creatures, it is only the most basic advantage!

Fearless because of ignorance, they are fortunate to know that they have nothing to praise in other respects than their courage. But they were still angry, because of Ling Qi's former condescension, because of Ling Qi's diametrically opposite performance before and after the war!

Could it be that recognizing that their combat effectiveness is even lower than imagined, that man is qualified to ignore them? This is too realistic!

Come to think of it, if they have a chance to leave New Vegas, the evaluation of the Deathclaw Knights in the wasteland, in addition to the lucky ones and tyrants, will probably have to be more two-faced and three-edged.

The two-faced Ling Qi didn't have the heart to care about what some people thought of him, as the radio signal recovered, as the dark clouds in the sky closed, and as the huge UFO left, the haze in his heart became heavier and heavier!

From the moment he saw the Enclave flag, he knew that the situation was completely out of control!

"Yes sir, tell me how the NRC got mixed up with the Enclave!"

On the top floor of Lucky Thirty-Eight Casino, looking at the huge screen showing the video taken from Veronica's kinetic armored helmet, Ling Qi asked inexplicably.

In the picture, in addition to gunsmoke and flesh, there are also some things that ordinary people can't see with the naked eye, such as Veronica occasionally looks farther, and the far-infrared imaging equipment built into the power armor allows her to see the "truth" behind the battlefield!

Behind the hazy smoke, in the flag-lined enemy formation, rows of expressionless humanoids carrying a heavy full/semi-automatic thermal weapon that ordinary people would definitely not use, always standing at the forefront, ready to charge.

And behind them, there were several rows of mechanical creations outlined by green lines, like chariots, like beasts dormant on the hills!

Further afield are tanks and other large and unknown mechanical units, and there are many of them.

These troops were so far away from the city walls that even Veronica could only see a scaly claw, and the specific image was generated by Zero's simulation and visualization based on the real data detected by the power armor.

Judging from the picture alone, these soldiers and chariots who are ready to go belong to the same organization at all! Their arrays are completely indistinguishable from each other and are closely connected. And there is basically no big difference in the individual image of the class, including the shape of the weapon armor!

This doesn't look like some kind of multi-party coalition!

However, the flags that were fluttering in the picture, in addition to the largest and most arrogant Enclave battle flag, clearly had different names, which was also consistent with the situation that Ling Qi vaguely saw at that time.

Moreover, it was the NRC infantry who entered the battlefield to "send them to death", and it was the NRC organization that declared war on him, what role did the Enclave play in this?

The mastermind behind the scenes, the emperor, borrowed a knife to kill people?

If the NRC people were deliberately sent to death under the pretext of the coalition forces, then the NRC's top brass would agree? The NRC's infantry are not machines, let alone fools!

Also, where is the most well-known Ranger in the NRC!

The concept of the NRC is completely incompatible with the Enclave, and the consistent style is not like the Enclave's lackeys and pawns!

"Lynch, you should really look at the database, I have sorted a lot of things for you. House's database is not comprehensive, but it is necessary to familiarize one. ”

Mr. Hao complained humanely, and then replied:

According to some of the secrets in House's database, after the defeat of the Enclave in Central and Washington, D.C., in addition to the large forces that retreated in large aircraft and Seabird gunships, some of them did not have time to withdraw and merged into other organizations. For example, the New California Republic (NRC) in the western coastal California region absorbed a small number of local Enclave remnants that year. ”

"It's just that it's clearly written in the secret, the rest of the Enclave party that the NRC absorbed back then, but only 52 people, it is impossible for it to evolve into an anti-customer-oriented trend, and the NRC's top management is not an idiot. ”

"Since they dared to do that back then, they must have the confidence to be able to digest this power. And after all these years, if the Enclave were to resurrect within the NRC, would House not know?

"The most important thing is that the Enclave's system and philosophy are completely unattractive to ordinary people, and it is impossible to infiltrate other forces. They have always relied on advanced technology and strong force to maintain their position, and their emphasis on the so-called bloodline is even more radical and extreme than that of the Iron Brotherhood in the early years. ”

"So, the most likely scenario is the least likely, the NRC organization is still infiltrated by the Enclave, but that is only a minority. And most of those people have contacted the remnants of the main force of the Enclave that was withdrawn back then and hid in the deep mountains and old forests!"

Even so, there are many things that don't make sense. As for the real Enclave, not many people in the wasteland know about it now, only a few legends that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and even my database does not have much exact information to analyze. If anyone else knows about the Enclave, it's the Brotherhood of Steel, after all, they were the Enclave's biggest rival back then!"

Mr. Yes analyzes little by little, and his analysis is full of uncertainty due to the lack of relevant information.

When Ling Qi heard this, he immediately looked at Veronica, wanting to hear what the new paladin of the Brotherhood had to say, but unexpectedly, the knight girl was staring at the picture that had been expanded and refined and become more refined after being supplemented by some logical operation with a different face, and her face was full of disbelief.

Eventually, when Ling Qi had to give up her intention to make eye contact, reiterating Mr. Yes's doubts, and asking her what she thought of the current situation, Veronica just shook her head.

"I don't know, I didn't care about that before. In fact, you can just ask a captive about these things. ”

As soon as Veronica finished speaking, a message from a mechanical guard came from outside the door, saying that the highest-ranking of the captives had been brought in.

Ling Qi smiled at her, and found that she had begun to compete with the frozen picture again, and couldn't help but think about it, but it was not easy to dig into it at this time, so he ordered the guards outside to bring people in.

"Lynch, if these things weren't paintings, I probably know what they are. ”

Veronica's voice rang softly in his ears, and the slight breath ruffled his sideburns, and there was a woman's fragrance.

Ling Qi's heart was slightly itchy, but he immediately put away his heart, frowned sideways, and said:

"Wait, we'll talk about it later!"

With the sound of the door being pushed open, a dejected NRC officer was being dragged in by a big tie, where was there still a little bit of military backbone.

"Name, number, rank!"

Ling Qi stepped forward and asked coldly.

After a few minutes, he had to admit that he had no talent for interrogating prisoners, and the lifeless fellow had been talking for a long time, but still did not confess anything useful.

"My name is Jack, I'm a fool! Hehe, Jack is a big fool. I'm a general, a dumb general, hehe~"

I don't know if he was stimulated too much, or if he was pretending to be crazy and stupid, this person was full of nonsense, and his eyes were definitely not the kind of distraction after taking drugs.

Not wanting to listen to this person's nonsense anymore, Ling Qi took a cold look and motioned for the guards to drag him away and hand him over to the "professionals" to deal with!

"Ahem, I'm just trying to get first-hand information. ”

Slightly embarrassed to explain to Veronica, the girl frowned and stared at Colonel NRC, who was dragged out like a dead dog by the guards, with a solemn face.

"What's wrong? What do you see?"

Ling Qi soon discovered Veronica's abnormality, could it be that the person was not pretending to be crazy and stupid, or was the stimulation so great that he went insane?

"Lynch, it's not good, those soldiers, they're crazy!"

Before Veronica could speak, Mr. Yes's voice had already caused Ling Qi to suddenly crush the plastic badge engraved with the words Colonel Terry in his hand!

"Crazy, the same guy just now?"

Ling Qi couldn't believe it, he hadn't thought of this possibility, for example, the soldiers of the NRC were all controlled by people, but this was not the Elder Scrolls plane, there was no mind control magic here, and there was no soul master!

"Lynch, it looks like you're in trouble, this is an escry, or enslaved, designed to enslave betrayers. However, in the records of major organizations, it is clear that it is a banned drug that has not yet entered the experimental stage, and even the Brotherhood has not been able to develop it, and the plan has long been shelved. ”

"As for the things on the screen that are not human and ghostly, although 'Zero' doesn't look like it, it should be the Enclave's shapeshifter, something we call 'deformity'. That thing was an elite unit in the Enclave back then, which was quite rare, and now it can be mass-produced, it's unbelievable!"

"Either way, it looks like the remnants of the Enclave are really eyeing you. Ling Qi, you have to be careful!"

Veronica's tone was quiet, which made Ling Qi, who heard her speak in such a tone for the first time, slightly stunned.

"The remnants of the Enclave are eyeing me? In other words, it was really some people from the NRC who summoned them! So, what about the NRC people? Don't tell me that in less than a week, such a large organization has been taken over by the Enclave Dove!"

"Besides, I don't understand why a super force like the Enclave is targeting me? What are they trying to do? Deathclaw Knight's secret treasury? Deathclaw Destroyer? hehe!"

Ling Qi suddenly had a sense of absurdity that was hit by a meteor, anyone or organization does everything for a purpose, and there is still the possibility of impulsive personal behavior, a qualified large-scale organization that has been inherited for hundreds of years is definitely not profitable!

He is indeed a living legend in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is a bit of nonsense to say that he can attract the attention of the Enclave.

"I don't know, the people of the Enclave are crazy, maybe they want you to be their leader. ”

Veronica is rarely in the mood to joke at such a time.

"Also, you'd better not leave anything to chance. Remember that thing in the sky? I suspect it's the big aircraft they used to retreat -- the aircraft carrier in the air, Seth!"

Ling Qi looked down at the PP boy on his wrist when he heard this, and on the surface of the flooded screen, Mr. Yes's avatar flickered, replacing the default with silence.
