Chapter 24: New Vegas Medical Clinic
This rainstorm, which is quite rare in the history of the wasteland, rained for a whole day and night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This even made Ling Qi have to expose such an absurd ability of "telekinesis" in front of Veronica.
However, the girl didn't seem to be too surprised by this, but her casual words almost scared Tang Xiao to the ground.
"Hey, besides the Brotherhood, there are other places that have mastered the space folding technology! You can't be from Inlet, right? No, their hatred for the Easterners has never waned, let alone taught you this technique. ”
This girl has some chatter, and talking to herself can reveal some very important and crucial information.
Ling Qi had been mentally prepared for his skin color, appearance, and the like, after all, he had warned him at the beginning of the task that this might cause him some trouble.
He suspects that in a nuclear war 200 years ago, the two largest blocs, the East and the West, were likely to distinguish camps by skin color, which is not quite the same as his hometown, but understandable.
He didn't care too much about any of that, at least so far, he hadn't met anyone who was hostile to him simply because of the color of his skin, and he should... Not really.
A figure inexplicably flashed through Ling Qi's mind.
At noon the next day, the rain stopped, and the reincarnators did not leave the shack directly, but followed Boone's earlier instructions and stayed for another half day and a night, until the morning of the third day, when they came out of the shabby shack, which had begun to emit a peculiar smell.
The reincarnators are also human beings and need to eat, drink and Lazar, except for Ling Qi and Veronica, whose body has been specially trained and transformed, even Leo has to carve out a small place in embarrassment to deal with personal matters for himself.
The sky outside was still so gloomy, and there was no freshness at all after the rain.
The water stains on the ground have basically dried up, except for some low-lying areas where there is still standing water, which is a place that must be avoided.
Except for Ling Qi and Veronica, as soon as the others came out, they immediately drank a small bottle of anti-radiation agent and two radiant tenins each.
"Ang !!"
Godzilla rushed from a distance excitedly, and after the baptism of the rainstorm, the scale armor on its body was shiny, and the appearance was more like deathclaws!
Supposedly, it didn't ingest too much of the deathclaw's genes, so how could it mutate in that direction?
Ling Qi had suspicions, and in the end, he had to blame it on the extensive radiation sources of this plane!
The same radiation, perhaps due to different planes, is essentially completely different.
The radiation that caused Godzilla to transform from a Komodo dragon into a terrifying behemoth is probably just the same as the radiation that caused deathclaws to appear on the plane.
Godzilla, which has been transformed by two kinds of radiation and caused mutation, is obviously no longer called Godzilla, but Godzilla, Deathra.
Well, Ling Qi decided to call it Godzilla for the time being.
Ordered the pet to find a small river nearby to take a bath, the water in the river, although not drinkable, is stronger than the dry radiation rain.
Boone took advantage of the rest stop to re-customize a basket for it, and at Veronica's enthusiastic suggestion, or threat, the emotionally troubled man had to make the basket on his shoulders trapezoidal, making Godzilla's back look like a peacock with the screen open.
Everyone took their places and went on the road again, only a certain girl stood at the intersection and looked reluctantly.
The fat man looked back at the father and daughter, and suddenly sighed with some emotion.
He found that he hadn't learned much about combat since he came into this world, and he hadn't learned much about summoning skeletons in two hours, and he hadn't even learned yet. However, the messy experiences along the way are probably enough for him to write a book "Li Qiang's Journey of Suffering", which is probably no worse than the notes of the little hubbit.
But after seven or eight days, since he came to this world, he has walked through most of the foreign provinces on foot, and he has lost more than 20 pounds!
It's more than 20 pounds! How long does it take to eat this meat to make up for it! This is not counting the piece on the thigh!
Li Qiang began to miss the motorcycles they had abandoned, but several motorcycles happened to be parked under the eaves of a certain place at this time, listening to the laughter and singing in the house.
After another full day's journey, Ling Qi and his party came to a place that the wasteland nomads called a "delicious rest stop".
On the way, they were "lucky" to encounter two rare deathclaws, one of which was killed by Boone's beautiful triple headshot, and the other was torn apart alive by Godzilla.
While Boone was still lamenting the terrifying lethality of the mutant death claw, Ling Qi had already summed up the rules along the way.
He found that as long as he walked along the road, the danger of encountering was greatly reduced, and of course unlucky emergencies such as wandering death claws suddenly sprang out from the side of the road. And as you get closer to the fabled city of New Vegas, so do the various supply trading points. Many abandoned buildings have been occupied, and strongholds have been re-established.
After a night's rest at the delicious rest stop and a taste of the delicacy in the eyes of the wasteland wanderers, the foodie Li Qiang vouched for his character, and the canned food was still the most delicious uncrowned king in the wasteland.
Hit the road again, and under Boone's guidance, they walked to the wilderness next to the construction road!
It is said that this plain outside Vegas is full of wealth.
This fertile land can even grow fruits, vegetables and grains that are completely unpolluted, and even the NRC has built a large farm somewhere on the plains!
Farms, a common thing in the pre-war world, are already quite rare in the wasteland. However, this wilderness plain is home to more than a dozen farms of all sizes that can be named, so it is not an exaggeration to call this the granary of Nevada.
Of course, some of them have been ravaged by mutant monsters, while others have not yet spread far in fame.
Such a plain, of course, will not lack danger, and mutant monsters are the biggest of them. And among all the mutant monsters, the mutated creatures of the bee butterfly type are especially annoying!
Fortunately, these mutated creatures living on the plains are generally much easier to deal with than the deathclaws of the mountains and the radscorpions that love scorched earth.
Especially when a mutant queen bee as big as a giant elephant and rampaging the plains for more than ten years was exterminated by the troops sent by the NRC, even many gold diggers dared to come here from time to time!
"Later, we need to be careful not only of mutated creatures, but also some treasure hunters and vagrants. Their targets are not only abandoned farms and crops grown in the wild, but also some neglected passers-by, and even caravans that are kind enough to accept them!"
Boone said contemptuously, as if he looked down on the wasteland wanderers who often made cameos as robbers and thieves and had no moral bottom line.
Veronica's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she shook the full set of power that had just been wiped off her hand, and it seemed that the blood of the mutant creature could not satisfy this nagging girl who was full of violent thoughts.
After walking on the plains for more than half a day, he encountered mutated creatures that were far more than ten times larger than his previous journey, but fortunately, everyone had unique skills, and Veronica's melee performance was also amazing.
Except for the unlucky Li Qiang, who was stung by a palm-sized poisonous bee and almost closed his breath, and asked Boone to hold down a jar of blood, the group did not lose their hands.
Actually, this is also true.
Pick the best way to go, and there are sharpshooter guides like Boone, and melee masters like Veronica who are one against ten, if they do, they will all die, and Ling Qi is really speechless to the newcomers.
Difficulties can sharpen people's hearts the most, and the fat man who seems to be the most unlucky along the way, Ling Qi feels that he has gained the most, at least he already has a bit of an iron-blooded taste.
In the evening, Boone found an abandoned farm, and after a night of repairing, Ling Qi went out to collect some wild fruits and vegetables, and at noon the next day, they finally came to a magnificent building!
The three-meter-high, foot-thick concrete fence was covered by motionless mechanical guards, either shoulder-carrying missiles or hand-held machine guns.
There are four Mark-II automatic laser sentries in front of and behind the gate, and there are also low-flying eyeball robots and electronic cameras that are responsible for patrolling and guarding at higher levels.
These fortifications set off the white-painted buildings behind them like the legendary Area 52! It makes people suspect that unless miniature nuclear bombs and intercontinental missiles are used, even an armored division may not be able to take this place!
"This is the New Vegas Medical Clinic?"
Ling Qi suspected that the high-walled power grid was actually a military base, as they encountered patrolling electronic eyes and armed robots a few kilometers away, and Godzilla was also "politely" ordered to stay outside.
"Yes, this is it! As long as you have money, the new Vegas medical clinic claims to be able to cure even physical disabilities!"
After Boone's introduction and Tang Xiao's memories, Ling Qi already had a certain understanding of the power of New Vegas City, or the real boss behind it, Mr. House!
This person is definitely a wizard in the field of mechatronics, he dares to fight against the two foreign forces of the NRC and Caesar's Legion, and the reliance on ensuring the independence and autonomy of New Vegas City, it is not an ordinary army at all, but a huge mechanical corps!
According to Tang Xiao, the so-called platinum chip is a key to unlock the collective upgrade of the mechanical corps! Of course, he only recalled this recently, and he didn't dare to guarantee that his memory was not wrong.
As for why such an important thing fell into the hands of a postman, Tang Xiao said that he couldn't remember the details at all. Besides, everything is possible in reality, maybe the platinum chip is just a front, or a miniature bomb that pits people, who knows.
In any case, the strength of the mechanical army under Mr. House's command was undoubted, and Ling Qi had already seen it with his own eyes.
Needless to say, if he dares to make trouble, he will definitely be beaten into a sieve if he dares to make trouble. With such ferocious firepower, he can't bear the head-on conflict.
"Boss, do you want to go in, I feel like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!"
The fat man rubbed to Ling Qi's side and asked in a low voice.
Such a well-guarded medical facility is truly terrifying.
"Of course I want to go!"
Ling Qi replied lightly:
Having seen the powerful force of the native world, his desire and expectation for power have also deepened.
People are forced out, and Ling Qi is the same.
Hard Qigong and the Rangers' fighting skills were all things he coveted, but even if he didn't get them, he wouldn't care too much, because they weren't immediate, and because the enemies he had seen at the time were all weak and pitiful.
What now?
Maybe with "broken air", he can single-handedly pick up a tank. But if there are dozens of tanks, planes and artillery in battle...
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Perhaps after more than two hundred years of internal friction, there are not many large weapons in existence. But Ling Qi is sure that at least the NRC must have those things, and the Caesar Legion, which is in full swing with the NRC, will not be a soft persimmon!
If it weren't for that, just these mechanical regiments in front of them would be enough to wipe out the two forces back and forth!
How can flesh and blood compete with machines!
Ling Qi hoped that when he left here, he could look at those machines with contempt and say:
You're all scumbags!
Ten minutes later, entering the hospital and looking at the mechanical assistants suspended in mid-air, the octopus-shaped spherical machine with four or eight metal hose arms, everyone suddenly felt that they had come to the alien testing ground.
Outside the walls are semi-primitive wasteland societies, but inside the buildings are filled with ultra-modern technology.
It wasn't until a mechanical assistant led him down to the second floor that Ling Qi heard a quarrel coming from a ward-like room not far away.
"Damn it, Miss Sasaki, Mr. House built this base for you, allocating a huge sum of money every year, and sending one of the most elite mechanical legions under his command to guard this place, not so that you can focus on treating the useless waste!"
"Those followers of the Apocalypse are a bunch of rotten people and scum! Mr. House has given them the Mormon Fortress near Liberty City, and he will give them a batch of medical supplies every quarter! These rotten people are shamelessly trying to reach out where they shouldn't!"
"Hey, hey, Miss Sasaki, I know you're kind, but don't forget who you are! Don't think you're the only one in Nevada who can help Mr. House—"
"Huh?!Who's out there!"
Touch!
The white wooden door of that ward was violently slammed open, and a black man in black clothes, black pants, black hair, and black sunglasses jumped out, holding a pistol in each hand, aiming straight at Ling Qi and his party!
Ling Qi's eyes narrowed, Boone had just touched the butt of the gun behind his back, and the mechanical assistant who was leading the way for them had already stopped in front of them!
Click!
I saw that the mechanical assistant's bulging body, which was one meter in diameter, suddenly popped out two rows of sixteen black barrels from the front, and the last four tentacles also turned into jagged shapes at the same time, making a buzzing vibration sound!
"Warning! Warning, Target A-73 Drop Your Weapon Immediately! Target A-73 Drop Your Weapon Immediately! Crouch with Your Head Together! Crouch with Your Head Down! Otherwise you will lock on to the attack after 3 seconds! Attack will be locked after 3 seconds!"
"Three—"
"The threat level is being determined!The threat level is low!It can be handled with full authority, no need to upload to the mastermind!"
"Two—"
At this moment, another mechanical assistant suddenly turned from the aisle behind the man, and immediately made the same attack posture as the one in front of Ling Qi!
"Wait!wait! I'm sent from above!
"One—"
"Prepare to attack—"
Before the guy's words fell, he was about to be beaten into rags, snap~
He threw away his weapon and knelt on the ground with his head in his hands! This proficiency is close to a hundred!
"Huh~"
"Mr. John, Assistant, who are you kneeling to?"
A somewhat coquettish female voice came from inside the room, followed by the movement of high heels colliding with the ground, and a woman in a white doctor's uniform, but almost completely unable to cover the pair of murder weapons on her chest, exposing a large amount of white flesh, walked out of it.
She was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with curly blond hair and an oriental face.
has a fiery figure, a faint bookish atmosphere, and a certain inexplicable free and easy.
Such a woman is much more attractive than Veronica, although the latter is also very pure and delicate in appearance.
"Dr. Sasaki-!!"
The black man kneeling on the ground gritted his teeth and roared, probably feeling that he had lost face.
"Drip-!!"
"Please don't make any misleading actions by Target A-73, the guards are already on their way, give up resistance, and you will be escorted and driven away!"
The black man was furious, his eyes were red under his sunglasses, and his boiling killing intent made him want to immediately pick up the weapon on the ground and shatter everything that could move in front of him.
Pity...
A few minutes later, seeing the black man who was escorted away by two mechanical guards (the kind that resembled a mallet), the female doctor Sasaki came to Ling Qi and his party with a smile.
She was unguarded, looking at the handful of armed men, but she didn't feel nervous at all, because the two robotic assistants transformed from eyeball robots had not left.
The black man has already proved very well what the combat effectiveness of this kind of mechanical assistant, which seems to be used as an auxiliary but costs a full five times more than ordinary mechanical guards!
"Hello, I don't know what to call you? This is the New Vegas Medical Center, and I prefer to call this the Vegas Hospital. For the time being, I am in charge of this medical clinic, although I am not the director. ”
The female doctor named Sasaki swayed her waist and swayed in front of Ling Qi, looking at him with some surprise and his expression barely changed.
When other people around saw her for the first time, they would have more or less some reactions, such as the hostility between Carla and Veronica, the saliva of Li Qiang and Tang Xiao...
"Lynch!"
Ling Qi simply reported to the door, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the charming lady in front of him.
"I heard that there is a capacity to do implant technology, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Straight to the point, this is too straightforward.
Not to mention that the two men regretted their captain's incomprehensible amorous feelings, even Sasaki began to suspect that the person in front of him was pretending to be cool and playing tricks to get away with it, otherwise he would not be a man.
Well, when she turned her gaze to Boone and noticed another piece of wood, she had to admit with regret that her charm was not enough to kill the entire universe.
"Berets, you're the NRC's 1st Recon Battalion, Rangers?"
Sasaki's doubts were destined to go unanswered, and it was impossible for Kinobo Boone to deal with such a beautiful woman in front of Kara, and even if Kara wasn't there, he probably wouldn't be interested in talking to her.
As for Ling Qi...
The guy was frowning and thinking about something, looking a little distracted.
Sasaki suddenly patted his forehead helplessly, thinking that it was easy to come to some real guests, who knew that it would be a group of weirdos, and the secret was boring.
"Okay, okay, just forget it. ”
"If you want to implant it~ That's not cheap! And looking at your appearance, you don't look like a person who needs basic attribute implantation. If the special gene is implanted, are you sure that your physique can stand it? To be honest, this cool guy next to you, I think his physique can only get an Animan costume at most, and there is enough choking!"
The female doctor had to pull the topic back, and looked at the "thin" Ling Qi with suspicion.
Boone's size was actually about the same as Ling Qi's, but when it came down to it, he did look a little stronger.
Ling Qi's perverted physique is not obvious in the first place, it is added by talent.
"Lead the way, how do you know if you don't try. ”
Ling Qi replied simply.
He thought that he would have to go through a long process of formalities, just like going to the hospital in peacetime, but he didn't expect it to seem very simple.
Sasaki shrugged his shoulders, yawned, and said lazily:
"Whatever, cool brother, I just don't want you to die on my bench later. ”
