Chapter 38: Old Friends

Not everyone who witnesses a miracle will feel uplifted and honored at the first time, and the mere difference in stance can lead to unwanted fear, but the truth never changes because of some people's emotions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old man's disbelief could not make the woman who had regained her appearance in the picture reverse her form, nor could it make the two who had gradually disappeared reappear.

In the blue glow, only a bunch of damaged auto-doctors remained, and one of them was particularly badly damaged, not only did the shell be damaged, but the core parts were also removed.

Thousands of miles away, next to an oasis in the desert, Christine looked at the scene around her with dementia.

As one of the Brotherhood's most prominent paladins, she is not the youngest paladin in the current Brotherhood, but she is definitely the best at the top.

Even more than the usual Paladin, who is extremely dependent on equipment, Christine values her own training, giving her a set of light equipment and a sniper rifle, she dares to go head-to-head with the Kinetic Armored Knights, or take on a small squad of NCR Rangers.

This kind of strength is absolutely outstanding, but she can't understand what happened to her at all.

Climbed over the Great Mountains, crossed the Grand Canyon, and finally tracked down the target Ilya, she was inexplicably put down, and then inexplicably disfigured, lost her voice, and then was rescued inexplicably, suddenly healed, and finally... Teleport to a never-before-seen scene that has absolutely nothing to do with the previous moment.

Although it frightened her that Elijah could let her go, it was intellectually acceptable, after all, the other party was once one of the most prominent elders of the Brotherhood, even if he was old, he should not be underestimated.

It's just that in the face of a more unimaginable, even more common sense situation, she obviously can't understand it, and it makes her even more overwhelmed than seeing aliens.

Ling Qi glanced around and found that the barren land was still the same, and there was no trace of cherishing resources at all, so he quickly gave up his plan to find resources.

What impressed him the most from the radiation plane was that in addition to the barren environment, there were also strange mutated fruits and vegetables, and even powerful mutated creatures.

However, the concept of power is also relative, for him now, the demon kings are all ants, not to mention any mutated creatures, and the mutated fruits and vegetables are far inferior to the spirit grass and spirit fruits produced in the Divine Kingdom Fairyland.

Any transfer of space-time requires coordinates, otherwise it is random.

Ling Qi's current location is not a random accident, but a wasteland in Nevada, where Las Vegas is located. He'd been here before, and he had left a slight impression, and with his mastery of spatial rules, that level of impression was enough to act as a coordinate, without making it as complicated as interdimensional teleportation.

The majestic divine consciousness spread again, and the wasteland did not change much from when he left, except that the quality of the mutated creatures was indeed a cut higher than the impression. Occasionally, elephant-sized ants, two-story praying mantises, or lizards flying in the sky can be seen in the wasteland, and this is only known within a hundred miles.

It's a pity that these are still not enough for him, and he is not even qualified to be accepted. It is only conceivable that the population of the wasteland, the population of Nevada, must be even more scarce.

Kristen couldn't see the mutated trolls dozens of miles away, in fact, she felt like she had only been imprisoned for a few days, but in fact, a long time had passed in the outside world. She is constantly anesthetized and frozen, acting as part of a puppet show, waiting for the character to be completed.

Christine, who didn't know the situation, quickly walked to the lake, tasted it and found that the lake water was not astringent, and immediately greedily crawled on the cow to drink, completely ignoring the image.

Ling Qi waited until Christine had a full drink, and then asked her:

"We're already far away from the Madrid casino, what are your plans for the future?"

Christine looked at the lake reluctantly, but finally looked away. She frowned, her mission was to find Ilya and find out the truth about his defection, and of course it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was captured.

The Brotherhood has many branches in the wasteland of the United States, and Christine is a paladin sent by the New York headquarters, so there is no respect for Elijah, the branch elder, and since he found his traces, he has been chased all the way, and even the heart of attention is not too much left, until he is captured.

"I... I'll try to reach out to a nearby fraternity... And then... Then I have my own tasks. You... Do you want to be together..."

Christine asked with some certainty, and the average wasteland wanderer would be ecstatic to receive such an invitation. It's just that fools know that Ling Qi is different, and Christine even thinks that he is not a human at all, maybe some alien, a future soldier-

Of course, it is also possible that China on the other side of the sea has ended the pattern of wasteland hegemony ahead of schedule, re-established a new civilization, and then made rapid progress in science and technology, and has even developed a portable space-time transfer machine...

This is undoubtedly something that Christine, a Westerner, cannot accept, and reason does not want to believe.

Sure enough, just as she imagined, Ling Qi refused without thinking about it.

Christine is both regretful and relaxed. Seeing Ling Qi wave his hand, as if saying goodbye, his figure faded away from the spot.

"I will remember your help..."

Christine's voice was only half a sentence, and Ling Qi had already arrived at the old lair of the past, the new Vegas city that had been re-established in the wasteland. I have the impression that it should have been a ruin.

The new city of Vegas has been rebuilt and even more lively than it used to be.

Of course, this buzz is built on disorder, and the new Vegas City has a sense of chaos that can only be found in the periphery of Liberty City in the past.

The dirty streets, the pedestrians, some of them are shouting loudly, some are gathering on the side of the road, or they are doing sex or taking drugs, and the disorder is extremely disorderly.

The geographical location of Las Vegas is special, and there are many half-destroyed buildings nearby, full of ready-made building materials, so it will be rebuilt, which is not surprising to Ling Qi, but he didn't expect it to be so "fast".

Moreover, it is not any known force that occupies this territory.

Before he returned to the reincarnation space last time, he went completely crazy, swept the entire state of Nevada, and finally fought a big battle with the Enclave, causing all the forces in Nevada to be reshuffled.

It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

Originally, Ling Qi thought that the current Nedawa must be the world of the Enclave, after all, the overall strength of the other party was there, and after he left, there would be no force that could stop the Enclave's troops, although this behemoth had already suffered heavy losses in the collision with him.

No matter how bad it is, there are still a large number of troops available at the NRC headquarters in California to the south, and it may not be impossible to reoccupy Natawa, where the power has been emptied.

The flag now planted on the head of New Vegas City is not any of the kind that Ling Qi is familiar with, but a pennant lined up on eight sides, giving people a ridiculous feeling, as if some entertainment club is holding some kind of celebration, of course, it symbolizes the meaning of the joint management of many forces, and it is generally very obvious.

It is a city that has been completely carved up by the new forces, a land of freedom that has been re-established from the ruins.

The city of New Vegas has been ruled by him and PP Kid for two successes, and in fact, he has left a lot of legacy, but unfortunately it seems that it has not been discovered, let alone inherited. Of course, that has nothing to do with the destruction he spared in the end.

Ling Qi's appearance behind a palm tree on the side of the road did not shock a few young people who were excited, and the once quiet and tidy streets are now full of hustle and bustle.

Ling Qi quickly walked onto the street, his temperament faintly changed, as if he had diluted his existence, even if he had clothes that were incompatible with the environment, he did not attract too much attention from others.

When he arrived in New Vegas, he found that he was lucky to find his target, and it was a hit.

Maybe it's because the target has been waiting for him where he started, or maybe it's already the only paradise in Nedawa, but his speculation is not outrageously wrong.

In a dilapidated patched residential building, Ling Qi finds his former companion Veronica.

Veronica is in good shape, still full of energy, but her outfit now looks old and worn, and time has left a clear mark on her face.

"It's been eighteen years, and you're finally back. ”

Seeing Ling Qi who suddenly appeared, Veronica was not too surprised.

The average age of humans in the wasteland is less than thirty, and although there are many vain ghosts dragging down the average, the environment dictates that as long as it is past forty, it is basically considered to have officially entered the stage of old age.

"I'll pick you up, to go or not to go. ”

Ling Qi didn't need to look at it to know that Veronica's friendliness was definitely not up to par. One hundred points is not so easy to achieve, and after a full eighteen years of separation, the brothers don't have much affection, and now they can be considered friends, thank God.

Now Ling Qi, no matter who he wants to take away, he doesn't need to rely on the definition of the entourage. The reincarnation of mortals is one stage, and the reincarnation of immortals or gods is another stage, which is extremely dependent on the rewards of the master. Ling Qi was not familiar with it yet, but he already knew how to take advantage of privileges.

He wants to take people away, not whether he can or not, but whether he wants to.

The reason why he was willing to take Veronica, a woman who didn't help a lot, was because she remained single and obviously had no attachment to the wasteland.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have shown up to destroy her current family.

Everyone has the right to choose their fate, especially those who have helped him and will not stand in his way.

Veronica shrugged her shoulders and put on her full set of kinetic energy, striking her fists like a boxer, making a loud "clang".

"Of course, believe me, I'm still playing the same way I was back then. ”

Veronica smiled, but she no longer had the charm of a girl.

Ling Qi also smiled, he was here to pick her up from this broken world, but he was not used as a thug anymore. She was no longer qualified to follow him, but she had accumulated credit, so it was time to retire.

Suddenly, he asked:

"Why don't you ask me where I'm going, where I've been all these years, and how can you recognize me at a glance. ”

This is what I asked... Actually, it's also very understandable.

Now Ling Qi's image is very different from the past, and his sudden disappearance and appearance are also difficult for the natives to understand. In fact, in the eyes of reincarnation, the difference between other people may still be yesterday, but in other people's lives, it was many years ago.

Veronica scratched her head, looking a little confused, as if she was about to pop her head with her fist.

After all these years of living in the wasteland, not only did she age quickly, but even her intelligence was damaged.

If it weren't for the fact that she had been reformed by the Brotherhood, Ling Qi would probably be a gray-haired demented old woman when she saw her now.
