Chapter 4: Me and My Little Buddies

"Cowhide?"

Chen Ya tried to ask, but Niu Hide stared at him and asked:

"Monkey, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Chen Ya shook his head, this non-chief kid also has no name, because his skin is very tough, comparable to cowhide, so he is nicknamed 'cowhide'.

At the same time, the other party is also one of the few friends of the original owner of this body in the 404 shelter.

Seeing that Chen Ya didn't seem to have any problems, Niu Pi immediately said happily:

"Tonight, the magic capital will take out the garbage, will you go?"

Take out the trash?

Chen Ya's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say excitedly:

"Go, you have to go!"

In the wasteland, especially for children, trash is food and life!

Garbage = Money = Food

"I'll take something."

After Chen Ya finished speaking, he quickly returned to the shack and found his scavenging equipment.

It is said to be equipment, but in fact there are two things, a large back basket and a steel bar.

Although it is very simple, it is the guy he eats with.

In addition, Chen Ya also brought the half of the nutrient, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back tonight.

Soon he came out of the hut and closed the tin door, while the cowhide said:

"Let's call Purple Scales and Big Nose."

"Okay."

Chen Ya nodded, these two are also relatively good friends, as long as they are picking up waste within the wall, they will basically be called.

So, the two of them walked together to a nearby shack, where the children of Vault 404 all lived together, so they didn't go far before they came to a shack.

However, although this shack is also old in appearance, it is at least much cleaner than the one where Chen Ya lives, and there are no holes.

At this moment, a girl covered in purple scales happened to come out with a backpack.

Seeing the girl, Cowhide immediately asked:

"Purple Scales, do you want to go scavenging?"

"Go, I'm about to call you."

Purple Scale smiled, and at the same time glanced at Chen Ya, obviously thinking of the two songs he sang before.

"Let's go, go and call Big Nose."

Niu Hide said, and the three of them walked to the other side together, while Chen Ya looked at Purple Scale's waist, where a worn-out teddy bear doll hung there.

Even in the wasteland, children are not short of innocence.

In a short time, the three of them passed through rows of dilapidated shacks, and finally came to a brand new shack, which had not changed in style, but had an extra window.

Through the window, a white child can be seen sleeping on a bed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The cowhide banged the window, and then shouted loudly:

"Big nose, get up! Let's scavenge for waste! ”

The children in the shed were instantly woken up, and immediately scolded:

"My name is Mao, how many times have I told you, my name is Alex! It's not called a big nose! ”

Alex was the only one of the four with a name.

So, this guy is often proud.

"Huh, it's great to have a name?"

Cowhide pursed his lips, and soon, Alex reluctantly opened the door, and at the same time muttered sleepily:

"So fast, you can scavenge again? The magic capital is really a garbage production center. ”

However, the big nose has a right arm composed of machinery.

Clearly, he is a cyborg man.

And Chen Ya knew that Alex was different from the three of them.

The original owner of this body, the little monkey, the purple scales, and the cowhide, are all friends who have grown up together in the 404 Vault since childhood, but this guy was parachuted in three years ago.

In other words, Big Nose used to live next to his parents, but later his parents were gone, so he was assigned to Vault 404.

According to the past memories, the information of the four friends is as follows:

The little monkey (Chen Ya), covered in golden hair, has no characteristics except for high agility.

Cowhide, twelve-year-old, tough skin, good defense.

Purple Scales, eleven years old, covered in purple scales, has good defense.

Alex, thirteen years old, is a cyborg with great strength.

……

Among these four people, if you want to talk about combat effectiveness, the big nose is the strongest, and the little monkey is the bottom.

Of course!

This is the past, and now that this body has changed its owner, the three kung fu that Chen Ya has learned, although they have all dropped to the entry level, are not comparable to these three little pot friends.

It is no exaggeration to say that these three people together are not his opponents.

But Chen Ya had to admit that Alex was the richest of the four, after all, he inherited his parents' inheritance, which made him a little envious.

Even so, all four have one thing in common.

They are all orphans.

……

At this moment, the cowhide is urging:

"Come on, hurry up and pack your things."

Alex lazily returned to the house, and soon walked out with a basket, and the other three all carried a steel bar except for the basket.

Chen Ya knew that this guy had a mechanical arm, and when he was scavenging, he didn't need to use steel bars.

In this way, the four friends were ready to go, but they had not gone far when Purple Scale stopped in front of a dilapidated shack.

"No, you're going to call that oil bottle?"

Alex's face was full of disgust, and when Chen Ya saw this, he couldn't help but say:

"Call her, there is great power in numbers."

Strength in numbers?

Alex looked at Chen Ya and said with a surprised face:

"Monkey, are you being funny?"

Chen Ya understood what this guy was referring to, and immediately smiled:

"She's lucky."

"Okay."

Alex seemed to acquiesce, and Cowhide nodded in agreement:

"That's right, every time I go to scavenger, the sick girl gains the most."

Sick Jiao Mei is the last little friend in their team.

"But she ...... Silly, stupider than a monkey. ”

Alex couldn't laugh or cry, but these words made Purple Scale exclaim:

"You're stupid, don't let you say Ah Mei."

And Chen Ya is full of black lines, what does it mean to be more stupid than Lao Tzu?

But he couldn't refute this.

Because of the IQ of the sick girl, she does have a big flaw, even more serious than Chen Ya.

No, it's more mentally retarded than the original owner of this body.

At this moment, Purple Scale knocked on the door, and after half a ring, she saw a sick little girl and opened the door.

Seeing the four people outside the door, the sick girl's eyes lit up, but then they became empty again.

"Sister, bring your things, let's go scavenging together."

Purple Scale smiled, and Chen Ya in the back saw that there was also a worn-out teddy bear doll hanging on the waist of the sick girl, obviously she had a very good relationship with Purple Scale.

And when the sick girl heard Purple Scale's words, she just smirked and said:

"Well... Well..."

There was no way, it was still the same as before, and in the end, Purple Scale helped the sick girl bring the back basket, and the five of them set off.

The original owner of Chen Ya's body, although he is also a little mentally retarded, can at least speak, and there is not much obstacle to communication, but the sick sister is serious, and she can't even say a complete sentence.

After the friends were assembled, the five of them quickly walked to Vault 404, the nearby subway shuttle station.

After all, the agglomeration has a population of more than two million people.

In terms of transportation, in addition to various vehicles, the most common is the subway, and you can ride it for free, which is undoubtedly the best choice for children in the shelter to go out.

The five of them talked and laughed all the way, among them the big nose and cowhide skin color, one black and one white, but what they said was Chinese.

Strange to say, the common language of this wasteland world is all Chinese.

All kinds of languages before the catastrophe seemed to have disappeared, and even the English that Chen Ya had learned had disappeared on the attribute board.

I speak Chinese, and I finally rule the world!

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ya's mouth.

At this moment, the five of them also saw a lot of patrolling robot police in the 404 Vault, which is a primary artificial intelligence AI controlled by the Skynet system, and its role is to maintain the security of the Vault.

With these robocops, you don't have to worry about being in danger in the shelter or stealing.

Of course!

It's another thing to get out of the shelter and get to some kind of no-nonsense place.

After a short time, the five of them arrived at the subway terminal, and at the same time, hundreds of children from Vault 404 gathered around the platform, apparently preparing to take the bus to pick up waste.

Waited about half an hour.

Woo! ~~

A sharp whistle sounded, and a rapidly approaching subway quickly stopped in front of the platform under the expectant eyes of many children.

However, I saw that this subway is streamlined as a whole, with a silver-gray body, with a sense of futuristic science fiction.

Backbite... Backbite... Backbite...

Soon, the doors of the subway cars opened automatically.

"Quick!"

Alex rushed into the carriage first and began to grab seats, followed by cowhide, purple scales, and sick sisters, but Chen Ya was not in a hurry, he looked at the energetic four people in front of him, and couldn't help but smile in his heart:

"Are these my little friends?"

Since they are all children, then ......

Let's grow together.

When Chen Ya stepped into the train, only two minutes later, the train started again, speeding towards a steel jungle in the distance.
