16: The most normal thing for a game character
The skies of Washington's DC wasteland are shrouded in hazy radiation clouds all year round, and the sun is rarely seen.
However, this did not prevent the residents of Bomb Town, who had long been accustomed to this weather, from waking up early and starting to get busy with their goal of living one more day.
But the residents who woke up today noticed that something was wrong, what about that annoying Atomist prayer?
After they came to their senses, everyone was even more surprised to find that not only the group of Atomic God cultists were gone, but also the "big bomb" that was placed in the most central part of the town.
Belch...... What about bombs? We...... Oh, the big bomb that those guys dropped here hundreds of years ago?
Was someone moved out overnight?
The inexplicable residents cast questioning glances at the convoy led by Sheriff Smith.
However, even those who knew that Rice Shan was going to take the bomb away, including Sheriff Smith, didn't know how the bomb disappeared.
Could it be that it can't fly away? No, even if there is a plane coming to pick it up, it shouldn't be that no one knows about it...... Settlements in the wasteland must be awake almost 24 hours a day.
Especially on the ruins of the nearby Spring Valley Elementary School, there is a group of bandits who want to dig out the 101 Vault, and it is not to be taken lightly.
…… The bewildered residents of Bomb Town decided to ignore these things for the time being.
The most important thing is the food every day, where did this bomb go, and whether the bomb town should be renamed, let's talk about it when we are full.
After all, Bomb Town doesn't attract these wastelanders because there's a big bomb that could explode at any moment.
Rather, it is because Bomb Town, which has a pre-war water purification system, is one of the few places where you can drink drinking water with low levels of radiation and barely enough to reach the "wasteland quality level".
Let's hope this water purifier doesn't break before you die - it's something that most of the people of Bomb Town pray for every day, including the Atomic God Cult.
So why hasn't anyone established a "water purification sect"?
But not everyone left the bomb missing.
Mr. Burke, who was wearing a white suit and had a different style of painting than everyone else, was very angry.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How the hell did that big guy get the bomb gone? ”
As a well-known donor to the Washington DC wasteland, Mr. Tepenny, the owner of the Tenpence Building, paid a fortune for Mr. Burke to wipe the bomb town off the map.
As for Mr. T'Penny's motives, whether it was the desire to see fireworks or the fact that Bombtown interfered with Mr. T'Penny's day-to-day viewing, was not Mr. Burke's concern.
Mr. Burke's purpose in life is to do things with money, and to do as much as he wants.
As long as the money is enough, things will definitely be done for you.
If it weren't for the latter sentence, Mr. Burke wouldn't have been so angry.
As a donor, the most important thing is credibility.
Mr. Burke remembers repeatedly reassuring Mr. Tepenny that the matter was on him.
However, his promise was still credible, and it was completely destroyed after the big man didn't know what magic trick he used to turn the bomb away.
Mr. Burke couldn't imagine that after the news got out, no one in the entire wasteland would be willing to ask him as a donor.
Not to mention the possibility that Mr. Tepenny could find someone to kill him quietly.
Could it be that he would be forced to work as a juggler in that beggar's house in Rivet City...... No! Never! And even if he did get to that point, Mr. Burke couldn't make the guy who had caused him to lose his credibility any better.
With little hesitation, Mr. Burke sent a signal from the Topquack Supermarket near Bomb Town that few people in the wasteland knew about.
Half an hour later, three mercenaries, dressed in the still-visible and not completely broken pre-battle armor, with eagle talon emblems painted on their chests, came to Mr. Burke.
"Jack, you're late this time!" Mr. Burke, who was still not deflated, said angrily.
These Talon mercenaries, notorious in the Washington, DC wasteland, are just like Mr. Burke who don't care about good or bad, and only take money to do things.
The only difference between them and the Waste Bandits is that they still maintain the last vestiges of work ethic, and they will not take the money and kill their employers.
…… Of course, this is most likely due to the fact that they prefer to go long-term rather than make a one-shot deal.
"Hey, Burke, what's making you so anxious?" In the face of Mr. Burke's anger, Jack, the leader of the Talon mercenaries, simply pulled the bolt of his gun with a hippie smile.
Awakened by the sound of gunshots, Burke realized that this group of mercenaries was not a good person.
Burke, who didn't want to dream a lot at night, said directly: "I'm going to hire you!" ”
"If it was just such a simple thing, you would definitely not use this kind of urgent communication." Knowing what Burke meant by employment, Jack looked like this was a fart, and it was worth using the attitude of urgent communication.
"Three people, one man and two women, the man is wearing power armor." Mr. Burke gave a detailed account of the appearance of Ytesugi and his group, and even 101 after Mirin's shelter uniform was spoken.
"Oh oh oh, power armor, old friend, we don't want to touch the moldy heads of those fraternities, this deal may not be done." Jack still has a hippie smile.
"Not from the Brotherhood." Mr. Burke didn't know if Rice Shan was a brotherhood or not, but at this time, he certainly couldn't admit it.
“…… Are you sure? Jack, whose expression finally changed from a hippie smile to a serious one, confirmed again in a hard voice: "If you lie, don't blame the brothers for being unkind. ”
Mr. Burke, who had a layer of cold sweat floating on his forehead, smiled hard: "I can guarantee that it is true, that set of power armor, I have never seen before, and it is very new. ”
"New?" Jack noticed Mr. Burke's choice of words.
"Well, it's new, and it's definitely not the power armor that those fraternities use." Mr. Burke added.
"Okay, this order is taken." Because he was an old customer, Jack didn't talk to Mr. Burke about the price...... The price is not something he can say.
In fact, if it weren't for Mr. Burke's mention of "new", Jack might not have been willing to take on this task, and those who live in the Washington DC wasteland know that there is one force that cannot be messed with, and that is the Brotherhood of Steel entrenched in the Pentagon.
(At this time, the Enclave has not yet shown its fangs in the Washington DC wasteland)
But if it's new, it means that the other party is likely to be the lucky one who touched a secret base before the war, and this is a big deal.
Just when the three Talon mercenaries and Mr. Burke thought they had got what they wanted and were going to separate.
A burst of gunfire turned Mr. Burke's head into a puddle of rotten watermelons.
"Hidden!!" Although they didn't understand what was happening, the group of talon mercenaries took up their weapons.
It's a pity that Mr. Burke, for his own safety, made an appointment in the empty parking lot outside the top supermarket.
The three Talon mercenaries, without even seeing the enemy, were killed and seriously wounded by bullets that came out of nowhere.
Jack, the dying squad leader, vaguely saw a girl in a blue shelter uniform, carrying a sniper rifle that had never been seen before, and the scope was thicker than the gun.
"Bang", as the leader of the Talon mercenary team, Jack's criminal life comes to an end.
"Is a nuclear sniper rifle any good?" Mi Shan, who appeared from the optical stealth state with Jiajia, asked.
"It works, thank you Dad." Mi Rin, who was holding the sniper rifle in his hand as a treasure, said with a smile.
“…… Well, that's good. Mishan took a deep look at Mi Rin and didn't say anything.
In fact, at first, Yoneshan didn't plan to let Mi Rin do it herself...... Unbeknownst to Mr. Burke, he had been magically stalked by Jiajia when he was showing hostility.
But Jiajia told Mi Shan in a very serious tone: "My lord, if she is like us, she must learn to fight." ”
This sentence is very suitable for Greenhill to say, and it was surprised by Jiajia's words.
Then Mi Rin's performance surprised Mi Shan even more...... The killing process is clean and clean, without any psychological burden.
It is completely unrelated to the previous three-view collapse that will do bad things with good intentions because of the entanglement of one's own thoughts.
In this regard, Mi Shan can only sigh, sure enough, the things related to "battle" are imprinted in the depths of the souls of this group of game characters.
It has nothing to do with whether Mi Rin has received more than ten years of "orderly" education in the shelter.
