Chapter 5: Brotherhood
It was getting late when I drove back.
After nightfall, the guards of the elk gathering place also increased a lot, and as soon as Su Ziyu looked up, he could see two soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor, one of which also had a special spray paint on his chest, which seemed to be the symbol of a brown bear.
The car was stopped before it could get close to the gate.
"Claws of Death?!" The non-commissioned officer with spray paint on his chest walked over, reached out and took off the hood, looked at the huge and hideous head of the claw of death with a shocked expression, reached out and touched the slightly mutilated horns on his head, and said in surprise: "That's right! It's the one near the camp! ”
"I blew this wound with an RPG!"
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Ziyu in the driver's seat, looked up and down, and said, "Revenant? ”
"Yes." Su Ziyu asked directly, "Can you let us in?" ”
"We haven't had dinner yet."
The non-commissioned officer raised his hand to make a gesture of letting go, and then said to Su Ziyu, "Are you interested in joining our patrol?" There are more than 300 bottle caps a month! ”
"There are other subsidies!"
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "I still prefer to be free." ”
The non-commissioned officer's expression was a little regretful, and he said, "When do you want to settle down, you can consider joining us." We need veterans like you. ”
The buggy quickly drove in.
"it!"
"It's the Claws of Death!"
"Someone killed it? Who did this to you? A wilderness hunter from outside? Masters! ”
"What?"
"The assignment you only took today? Came back in the evening? ”
For a moment, the whole elk colony was bustling with activity, many people came out of the house, and some people peeked out from the bar.
"I won!"
"No one pressed! Ha ha! Jie Se laughed and said as he carried a wine bottle.
This big monk just opened a handicap in the bar today, betting on whether Su Ziyu can kill the claws of death, if he can kill it, when will he come back, many people are pressed to go and not return, part of the pressure is tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, almost no one can come back today.
Jiese was laughing happily, but at this time a deep male voice sounded, "I hit it." ”
"50 caps, the odds are ten to one."
A slightly charming female voice next to her also came, quipping: "Monk, I also pressed today, 20 bottle caps." ”
Ring's laughter froze instantly, he turned his head to look behind him, and saw Max, the owner of the tavern, and the bunny girl standing next to him, he was a little surprised, "You guys are pressing today?" Let me see! ”
the groove.
Jiese's face instantly became a little ugly, and he cried and said, "It's really true!" I drank too much! White was happy! ”
The two of them directly split half of the proceeds.
Max smiled and patted Jiese's shoulder, and said, "A master like him will either come back today or miss." ”
"Let's go."
"Let's go get his bounty."
Many yellow faces popped up, and many people from Chinatown came from the elk gathering place, and they all looked at Su Ziyu curiously, and said, "Where did the master come from?" It looks like a Chinese! Revenant? ”
The Chinese still love to watch the excitement as always.
"Let's Jean! Let's Jean! Jiese pushed away the crowd and walked over, directly reached out and resisted the head of the Claw of Death on the roof of the car, looked at Su Ziyu and smiled: "I knew you could do it!" ”
"Good fellows. There are heavy enough. ”
Su Ziyu smiled and pushed the car door and walked down, he saw the old Bob at the door of the bar not far away, the other party was raising a glass to him, his expression was slightly flattering, Su Ziyu also smiled and nodded.
Paul also came with some people.
The members of his scavenger team were mixed, and at this time, they were looking at Su Ziyu with shocked faces, and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!" ”
"Master!"
At this time, the little girl walked behind Su Ziyu, stood on her toes and said in a low voice: "Don't give me the reward directly for a while." ”
"I've got the money, I'll get my share later."
The situation is a bit mixed right now.
Many people ran out to watch, and the little girl can be said to be quite cautious, afraid that taking money at this time will cause some unnecessary trouble. Don't look at the three hundred bottle caps, which is not very much, but the inhabitants of the wasteland era have no money on them, they still inherit the traditions of the old world Europe and the United States, and they can't save any wealth at all, and this money is easy to attract some ill-intentioned people.
These people may not dare to trouble Su Ziyu, but a little girl like Marty may be noticed.
"Hmm." Su Ziyu nodded slightly, felt her ears itch, and reached out to push her head away.
Soon.
Max came over with a large bag, reached out and patted Deathclaw's head, and said with a smile, "This is your bounty." Are you interested in doing another task? ”
"With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the mireurk queen."
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "Another day." ”
"It's almost the New Year."
"Let's rest for two days."
Max smiled, and the bunny girl standing next to him threw a wink at Su Ziyu and said, "Come and drink two glasses when you have time!" I'm in for a treat! ”
There was laughter all around.
The bunny girl didn't care, and said to those who joked: "Fuck off! If you are so good-looking, and you can kill the claws of death, what is the old lady inviting you to drink? You can do whatever you want! ”
It feels like someone is driving.
Su Ziyu didn't answer, he directly reached out and took the money bag, and said to the ring next to him: "Take me to find a place to live." ”
Jie Se smiled and said, "Stay with me." ”
"I still have a spare room, and the hotel here is not very good."
You can also.
A group of onlookers were still looking at Deathclaw's head, and they were amazed as they watched, many people didn't leave the gathering place much on weekdays, and those who were willing to go out and take risks were more courageous, and many of them saw Deathclaw for the first time.
The monk's residence was in the Chinese quarter.
There are about 2,000 Chinese in the elk gathering place, most of them are from the Chinatown gathering place, and Marty's residence is on the edge of the Chinese quarter, compared to other ethnic gathering places, it is much safer for a little girl like her to live next to the Chinese. Before parting, Su Ziyu gave her share of the reward, and the little girl happily took the money and said to Su Ziyu, "Do you want to kill the mirelurk queen?" I'm pretty familiar with that side too! ”
"Uh."
"This time, you and I can give 100 bottle caps."
Oops.
The price has even been reduced.
Su Ziyu smiled and rubbed her head and said, "Yes." ”
"Then it's decided!" The little girl looked very happy, pushed away his hand and straightened her hair, and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”
Many strange Chinese are greeting Su Ziyu.
He didn't know either, so he could only nod slightly, he could talk to anyone, and he also received a business on the road, someone died, and he went over tomorrow to recite the scriptures for a while.
Hey?
Su Ziyu suddenly frowned slightly as he walked, he gently bumped the ring color next to him with his arm, and said in a low voice: "Who are those two people?" ”
Not far away, on the second floor, there were two white-looking whites who looked relatively strong.
"I don't know." Jiese said in a low voice: "I've been staying in a hotel in the Chinese area for several days, and I don't know where I came from. ”
Su Ziyu nodded slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just now, when the two people were lying on the window looking at him, Su Ziyu saw the logo on their wrists, which was a strange triangular shape, but it was crossed out in half.
- "Brotherhood." ”
The symbol was a little different from the Brotherhood logo in memory, but the two men were supposed to be members of the Brotherhood.
on the hostel.
A rather stout man snorted a cigar and said, "Do you feel that man looks a little familiar?" ”
"Nope." The young man next to him leaned lazily against the wall and said, "In my opinion, Chinese people all look similar. ”
"We've wasted two days."
"The mission objective hasn't been found yet! Do we just stay in the hotel every day? ”
The man smoking a cigar got up and picked up a pen, and quickly drew a sketch of Su Ziyu on a piece of paper, looking at the similarity of seven or eight points, he didn't look back, and said in a deep voice: "The people from the academy are also nearby." ”
"Don't act rashly!"
"The two of us may not be able to deal with those bionic transformers!"
The young man reached out and took out a dagger to play with, looked at the sketch and said, "Do you think those people in the academy are crazy?" Why are they still working on mutant technology from the old days? ”
"I don't know." The stout man frowned and looked at the sketch in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Mutant technology is a super soldier program of the old era. ”
"It is said to be resistant to radiation distortion."
"But the mutants that were created were all butchers without brains, and they had no ability to reproduce. Someone is being sent to inquire about the Academy, and it is said that they have succeeded in creating a perfect mutant who is completely immune to radiation contamination while still retaining the wisdom of normal people. ”
"There is also a lot of disagreement at the top right now."
"Some people believe that biomimetic technology should be promoted to allow humans to enter the era of mechanical bionics."
"Others believe that flesh and blood should not be abandoned, and that there should be other ways to resist radiation distortion."
"This kind of big thing is not something that the two of us little people can control."
"It's about the future of humanity."
Speaking of this, he picked up the sketch and looked at it carefully for a while, and said in a low voice: "It really feels familiar, I should have seen a picture of this person before." ”
"Bring the transmission equipment."
"Let's send his appearance back to the branch to check, this person should be very difficult."
The young man next to him also came over, looked at it carefully for a while, frowned and thought, "Is it the person marked in the database?" I'm not impressed! ”
"I don't know. Let them look it up. The man said in a deep voice.
The abode of the abstinence.
As soon as Su Ziyu entered the door, he saw a Buddha statue, but this Buddha statue was not holding a magic weapon, but a six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun.
He turned his head and smiled, "Just sit down." ”
"I'll be eating right away."
At this time, a woman's voice came, rather hoarse, and said, "Back?" The meal was ready right away. ”
Three young children walked out.
A white man and two Chinese, they looked at Su Ziyu curiously, and then a woman about forty years old walked out, it was a white woman, she saw Su Ziyu and quickly covered her face with her hands, but Su Ziyu still saw her appearance clearly, the other party's face had obvious traces of radiation distortion, half of the face fell as if it was paralyzed, and there were some blue spots on her bare arms, which should have been exposed to radiation contamination and could not be treated in time.
"These children are orphans."
"For the time being, follow me to eat, and when they turn sixteen, let them go out to earn a living on their own." The monk sat down with a golden knife and pointed at the children.
Although he adopted the children, he did not treat them as adopted sons.
The kids were a little scared of him.
The woman brought some food over and sat down at another table with some of it herself.
"Sit."
"Would you like some wine?" The monk smiled.
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "No." Just eat whatever you want. ”
After speaking, the mechanical watch on his wrist swept over the food, very good, the pollution level is very low, it should be related to the purified drinking water, a lot of the food here is grown and raised by himself, and the pollution level is much lower than that outside. In the Wasteland Age, the game hunted in the wilderness was cheap, and the real price was the captive-bred livestock.
The taste is average.
The monk had a very good appetite, ate meat and drank wine, and lit a cigarette, and he saw that Su Ziyu did not eat much, so he took a large piece of meat to the children, and said in a low voice: "Eat quickly." ”
"Go to old Bob after eating, he should have a lot of work in the past two days."
Jie Se sat down again, pointed to the children, and said, "They're learning things from old Bob, and they have a little bit of skill, so they won't starve to death in the future." ”
Education in the Wasteland Age is a big problem.
These low-level orphans don't have the opportunity to learn knowledge, and it's good to learn some practical skills.
Eaten.
Jiese took off one of his arms, he came to a machine tool, holding his mechanical prosthetic leg in one hand, and was simply carrying out maintenance and repair, as if noticing Su Ziyu's gaze, he grinned and said, "No way." Mechanical prosthetics are not as good as bionic prostheses, and if they are not maintained, they will be finished if they drop the chain at a critical moment. ”
Su Ziyu watched curiously as he tinkered with his mechanical prosthetic leg there.
Compared with the first time he came, the technology of mechanical prosthetics in the wasteland era at this time has been greatly improved, and it should be that the mechanical transformation technology of that year has been circulated a lot, but I don't know why the bionic technology is not popular at all.
It may be that due to the productivity constraints of this era, the cost of mechanical transformation is obviously cheaper.
