Chapter 53: Pie from the Sky
Bailey's flashlight shines precisely at the location of the furniture where he is hiding. Lu Buping could only give up his illusion and drill out of the shadows.
He hid his arm behind his back and prepared to unsheath his Hidden Blade, looked at the other party and said, "Mr. Bailey, meet again." ”
"Yes, it's really impressive that you can make such a big mess in less than a day." Bailey said from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Buping didn't respond, but instead asked his own question: "How did you find me, my concealment skills are not bad." Garble's doglegs searched for me for more than an hour but didn't find me. ”
Bailey pulls out a PDA, which looks like the same style as the Pip-Boy. Pointing to the map shown above, where the red dots are located.
"I see, I thought the overseer's computer was broken, and the positioning ring would not work. Ms. Diana, is there an extension? Lu Buping said helplessly: "Then Mr. Bailey, you're not here to arrest me, are you?" I didn't break the rules of the Vault, as the guy named Mario can attest.
Garble intends to declare a personal vendetta, Mario and Levy will be killed at any moment, and I am about to report back to Lady Diana. ”
Bailey shook his head, handed over a backpack he was carrying to Lu Buping, and said, "Take this, go to the saints area on the first floor, Ms. Diana is waiting for you." ”
"Wait for me? Why? Nalevi they ......"
"Don't worry about it, the convoy will come down at once, and I'll go and negotiate with Mr. Garble. Well, let's take a look at what's in the bag. ”
Lu Buping opened his backpack and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp, it was actually full of Dengdeng's medicines.
Treatment needles, radiation, and various "Jet" and "Bali Pills" that can improve physical fitness in a short time, etc.
"What a big deal, what the hell does Lady Diana want me to do?" Lu Buping asked in a deep voice.
You must know that these potions are chicken ribs for ghouls, but they are real treasures for Lu Buping. In the case of serious injuries before, a dose of treatment needles was restored, and the medicine in the bag in front of him was enough for him to sprint back and forth in the rain of bullets.
As for these drugs such as "Jet" and "Bali Pill", although they have side effects, the effect is also very good, and ordinary people can become heads-up kings after taking one pill.
These medicines, which can improve agility and strength for a short period of time, are not cheap even in the apocalyptic administration. It can be said that just the medicine of this entire backpack, Lu Buping's first world is already worth the ticket price.
However, Lu Buping knows that there is no good thing in the sky that will drop pie. Since Bailey found himself alone, and brought this pack of drugs. Presumably Diana has an important task to give her, but why herself?
Lu Buping was puzzled.
"You can ask Ms. Diana specific questions, I have no right to answer you here." After Bailey finished speaking, his expression was extremely tangled, and he thought for a while before continuing: "If you refuse the mission, then leave the shelter and go back to the surface, and never come back." ”
What's the situation? Lu Buping thought to himself. According to common sense, Bailey should have warned himself to complete the task at this time. But listening to what he meant, he actually wanted to refuse.
For Diana's mission, Lu Buping became more and more curious.
"What about this, I don't want to be under your surveillance all the time. If Garble finds me, I'm doomed. If you want me to help, you should always show some sincerity. Lu Buping shook the locator on his wrist and motioned for Bailey to remove it for him.
"Okay." Bailey was also happy, and without saying a word, he operated on the small computer, and Lu Buping's positioning bracelet was automatically opened.
As the two were talking, there was a cacophony of footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of conversation.
Bailey listened attentively and said, "It seems that my people have arrived, I will help you block the guards at the door, and you take this opportunity to go to the upper saint district." ”
Lu Buping straddled his backpack behind him and followed Bailey to the outside of the house. Sure enough, Diana's bodyguard also appeared in front of the door of the stairwell.
It can be said that the entire Vault 118 combatants are concentrated in this black swamp at this moment.
Lu Buping had no doubt that the current situation was designed by Diana. As for the reason, Lu Buping looked down at the back of the tape.
Taking advantage of the large number of Diana's escorts entering, under the cover of Bailey, Lu Buping successfully escaped the sight of the guards and came to the corridor.
"Levi, they'll ask you, I'll go first." Lu Buping said goodbye to Bailey and was leaving.
"Mark my words, if you refuse the mission, leave the vault and never come back." Bailey instructed.
Lu Buping nodded, turned around and stepped onto the stairs on the second floor.
With the memory of entering and leaving the second floor several times, Lu Buping avoided several cockroach nests and ran all the way to no one's place.
At this time, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and took out the unfinished tape.
Inserted into the back of the tape, there was a "rustling" sound. Then fell into silence, and just when Lu Buping was worried about the aging of the tape, a familiar female voice came out.
"Supervisor Diana, recorded June 5, 2101
Hans went crazy and detonated the explosives in the control room on the third basement floor.
Countless mutated creatures rushed out of the hole, and we sacrificed at least two-thirds of our men to retreat back to the first layer.
The surviving people are also in a bad state, and the more intense radiation has led to an increase in the degree of physical mutation, and we are afraid that we are no longer human.
Ironically, those who survived this battle began to pray. They no longer stick to their original beliefs, like drowning people, desperately trying to grab everything around them, hoping to save their lives.
The culprit, Hans, locked himself in the control room on the first floor, which is one of the places with the highest radiation intensity.
Let's hope he will be photographed to death, lest he be torn to pieces by the angry people.
I still have so much to deal with, I'm too tired. ”
"Supervisor Diana, recorded October 17, 2101
I'm Diana, and the effects of radiation are getting worse and worse, not only physically, but also mentally.
A lot of people have reported to me that their memory is gradually declining, and many things are forgotten, and I feel the same way.
Luckily, my precious son is still alive, and he is my only motivation to live.
As an atheist, I wish there was a god who could save us.
Life is too bad, can we get through it? ”
Diana's voice in the tape is tired and muffled, completely different from the first message. Even through the tape, Lu Buping could feel her despair and helplessness at that time.
The tape paused for a moment, and the sound of the tape churning was heard inside, and it took about a minute before a new sound sounded.
But the next content surprised Lu Buping.
"Agent Diana, recorded July 5, 2258
...... I am Diana, the overseer of Vault 118 and the agent of the Hans Divine Order.
I found this tape in a safe that had been dusty for years, and my mind was now in a mess and I didn't know what to say.
The previous recordings were clearly my voice, but I couldn't believe them, and I didn't want to.
God Hans is the only true god in the world, how can I believe in a god for decades......
Phew, I don't have any memory of all this.
I've asked others, and their final memories are after the Black Swamp took shape. There was only a vague idea of what had happened before, but none of us cared.
I don't want to pursue the truth anymore, I don't want to let my hard-won life go wrong.
Whatever the truth, as long as it doesn't affect me and my son, then let it pass.
This tape will stay in my safe forever. ”
"Agent Diana, recorded May 20, 2270
(crying) son, my son......
Hans, I curse you! You're going to pay the price! ”
"Click."
The magnetism came to an abrupt end here, and the entire recording had been played. Lu Buping frowned, looking at the beep-beep boy and falling into deep thought.
