Chapter 248: Broom Star
"Tomorrow morning, I will rush to the Langya Settlement with Zang Feng, General Wang, and Wei Qianshou, and you can use the power armor here as you like."
After saying this, he added: "Before I officially leave, I will leave a Goliath armed robot in the canned sea fish warehouse...... Tokuko, I want you to spend a day today to familiarize yourself with its basic operations. ”
Dezi, the head of the plane, the charter photo, Huang Ren and others looked at each other......
I haven't seen him for a few days, and Deputy Commander Tang has more equipment at his disposal...... And this time they can play the big guys.
Goliath Armed Robots!
Although many people haven't seen it, the third young master, the plane captain and others who experienced that encounter came back to tell the story about Golia's armed robots.
It's a battle mech that can shoot down military transport planes, not an engineering mech like the SCV, not a single power armor like the Type 5-4 armored combat suit.
They looked at Dezi with envy and jealousy.
Dezi laughed silently, his mouth grinning to the sky, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear that his performance would be too exaggerated and annoy Deputy Head Tang and hand over this beautiful errand to others.
After dealing with the matter of equipment distribution, Tang Yan went to the cold storage facility at the entrance, asked someone to transfer the body of the mirelurk king to the storage box, and then left Vault 1017 to watch the P-43 power armor equipped with the Pandaren legionnaires practice in the wasteland north of the factory.
He hopes that the first batch of fusion batteries will arrive at the Maxim's Canning Factory, and the 50 sets of P-43 power armor will be put into use.
The day passed quickly.
The next day passed just as quickly, and it is worth mentioning that Xia Xin swept away all the nuclear fusion batteries on sale in the Gem City market and sent them to Maxim's Canning Factory.
There are also a number of weapons suitable for soldiers equipped with power armor, such as the Type 89 machine gun, Gatling tube machine gun, RPG-7, automatic grenade launcher, anti-tank mines, etc., as well as a laser Gatling.
Tang Yan didn't worry about the distribution of weapons, and left them all to Zeng Hua to deal with, and he spent all his thoughts on tomorrow's deal with the Yanhuang Brotherhood.
………………
The sun had not yet jumped above the horizon, and the first rays of dawn tore a crack in the night, and the doors of the Maxim's Cannery slowly opened, and a vulture chariot and a modified pickup truck rushed out of the factory area and headed west.
The driver of the vulture chariot is Tang Yan, the cab of the modified pickup truck sits with Zang Feng and General Wang, and Wei Qianshou wears a set of CMC-300 power armor and sits in the cargo compartment of the modified pickup truck guarding the body of the mirelurk king.
From Gem City to Qingcheng Town, the whole journey is about 270 kilometers, considering the speed of the modified pickup truck, even if it is all the way without obstacles, it will take more than five hours.
On the way, General Wang kept complaining, complaining that Tang Yan only cared about his own happiness and didn't care about their life or death.
The Vulture Chariot was fast, and the modified pickup truck was barely hanging behind the Vulture Chariot's ass even though it was in hot pursuit.
The road is not smooth, the ground is full of cracks and potholes, and sometimes there are detours, and the ride experience of a modified pickup truck is naturally extremely poor. The vulture chariot is different, as a suspended vehicle, there are basically no bumps, the ride is very smooth, and the ride experience is ...... It should be said that it is a ride of enjoyment.
Of course, the cook has a reason to be unhappy, and of course there is a reason to be jealous.
Tang Yan didn't know the cook's thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
The cost of the vulture chariot is nothing compared to the current balance of reward points in the system, and he has enough resources for everyone to prepare one, but the vulture chariot is a single vehicle, and if one person has one, who will carry the storage box containing the corpse of the mirelurk king.
When leaving the area of Qindao City and entering the area of Langya City before the nuclear war, the speed of the vulture chariot slowed down.
It wasn't that there was an obstacle blocking the road in front of him, it was Tang Yan who saw a familiar person.
This is the third time I have seen that person.
The first time was in the cargo compartment of a modified pickup truck on the way to the Black Saints base.
The second time was on the way to Jiashan Reservoir.
The third time was at the junction of Qindao City and Langya City.
He said his name was Nameless.
Tang Yan didn't know if the person really didn't have a name, or if he was casually a code name for Hu Zou.
The last time I saw him burying a family of four who had been attacked by marauders in the wilderness, this time I saw him not in the wilderness, there was a collapsed and dilapidated viaduct on the left side of the road, and on the other side of the viaduct was a small village.
It is said to be a small village, and judging by the number of buildings, there are at most four or five households.
When he looked over, Nameless was sitting in a weedy field in front of the crops, holding a long cigarette stick in his hand, sipping one puff.
Opposite him were two wooden beds that were put together, and around them was a circle of dry wood, and the flames spread over the boards, and black smoke billowed up.
Tang Yan noticed something that sank to the bottom of the flames...... It seemed to be a human corpse, seven or eight of them.
In front of the wooden bed was a black incense burner with one broken ear, three incense sticks inserted into it, and gray-white smoke rose into the air.
Tang Yan didn't go over to speak like last time, just slowed down and looked at him from afar.
Nameless didn't come, drooping his eyelids and smoking a dry cigarette.
Time marched forward, and so did the vulture chariot, the collapsed viaduct obscuring the view, and the nameless face was no longer visible.
Tang Yan's facial expression was a little strange, and he wondered what was going on with this person? Broom star? Why is it bad every time I see him.
The first time I saw Nameless, the Panda People Legion, the Black Hand Mercenary Regiment, and the Jewel City Guard allied forces attacked the Black Saints base, killing some people.
The second time he saw him, he was burying a family of four killed by marauders in the wilderness.
The third time he saw him, he was cremating the corpses of villagers, not knowing whether they had been killed by marauders, beasts, or living corpses.
In short, it is unlikely that he was killed by an unknown person.
The wasteland has always been a world of killing and burial, and the nameless act looks like an undertaker, giving the last dignity and care to those who die.
Tang Yan ...... Did you see that person just now? At this moment, General Wang's voice came from the communicator.
Tang Yan didn't speak.
"The man...... We've seen it before, it seems to be called Nameless...... Or what? This person is really evil, and his yin aura is outrageous. ”
Wei Qianshou sneered from behind: "Roar, it's still outrageous? Cook, are you opening your eyes? ”
“……”
Tang Yan ignored the verbal battle between the two people, put the nameless matter behind him, and drove the vulture chariot to continue on his way.
When the sun was in the west, everyone arrived at the destination of the trip, Qingcheng Town.
Qingcheng Town is a coastal village, located a little north of the ruins of the port city, with a population of one or two hundred people.
In the past, Qingcheng Town was a subsidiary of the Langya Settlement, but with the Langya Settlement to Jicheng, Qingcheng Town announced that it would be separated from the Langya Settlement and implement autonomy.
It sounds ridiculous that a town with a full capacity of less than 200 people should exercise self-government, but as a result, the people of the Langya settlement finally compromised.
On the one hand, the reason for this result is that the people of Qingcheng have a very bad relationship with Jeseong.
Before the Jecheng side used political means to support puppets in the Langya settlement, it repeatedly sent military aircraft and armored troops into the Langya settlement by force and intimidation to exert pressure.
Because Qingcheng Town is close to the sea, there are occasionally mirelurks, Ankang monsters, climbing fog shrimp and other fierce beasts landing, which poses a great threat to the residents of Qingcheng Town.
Once, when fierce beasts were ravaging the coast, the residents of Qingcheng Town encountered the Jicheng armored team when they went to the Langya settlement to seek military support, and immediately asked for help to protect the town.
Who knew that the people of Jecheng not only did not agree to their request, but also beat the residents sent to the Langya settlement to ask for support half to death, and the two sides became enmity.
If Jeseong is described as an elephant, then Qingcheng is a praying mantis, and Jeseong certainly doesn't care about the hatred of a small town.
However, this town became an iron nail at the bedside of the Jecheng boss in the days that followed.
On the other hand, Jiankang City was very unhappy with Jicheng's interference in the internal affairs of the Langya settlement, and after Qingcheng Town declared its autonomy, it issued a statement in support of it, coupled with the relatively weak but tangible opposition voices within the Langya settlement, Qingcheng Town has been in a state of autonomy for so many years.
Tang Yan was ready to talk to the town guards, and also prepared two bottles of Lao Lang wine as a meeting gift, who knew that an abnormal situation was discovered when he was approaching the village and town.
The sentry towers at the entrance of the village were deserted, and there were no guards to be seen behind the barricades and bunkers.
He ordered Zang Feng and a few people to stop, get out of the vulture chariot, change into the power armor of the son of Keha, and walk step by step to the half-open gate.
There was no blood, no bodies, but the ground was messy.
When Wei Qianshou, who was not worried about him entering the town alone, caught up from behind, Tang Yan stopped in front of a wooden house at the entrance of the village and pinched a dark green scale from the ground.
"If I'm not wrong...... This looks like the carapace of a mirelurk. ”
"Well, I think so." Wei Qianshou glanced at the empty town: "Could it be that the town has encountered a beast tide?" ”
Tang Yan didn't speak, took a few steps forward, and rubbed the empty bullet casings on the ground with his foot.
There was a green spot next to the bullet casing, much like the bodily fluids spilled by a glowing living corpse from an attack.
Wei Qianshou also noticed the shattered carapace with seaweed not far away, like a part of the body of a mirelurk crab's razor claw.
"It seems that I really encountered a beast tide......"
The two walked a little further, and found that red spots began to appear on the ground, which should be human body fluids, but fortunately, no body was found.
Probably because of the frequent frequenting of fierce beasts, the exterior of the house in Qingcheng Town is connected with heavy wooden planks and masonry to form the appearance of a small cottage.
The further you go, the more scales, carapaces, and spots on the ground increase, and bullet casings fall everywhere.
Judging from the layout of the bunker and the footprints at the scene, the people in Qingcheng Town seem to be very familiar with the rhythm of the attack of the fierce beast, and they are not scattered and hurried, from returning fire to retreating, the whole process looks very standardized, and they have practiced many times in the past.
"People here seem to be gone......
Tang Yan nodded, agreeing with Wei Qianshou's idea. There are also two underground passages for evacuating employees in dangerous situations, such as the Maxim's Cannery, and there must be similar escape facilities in Qingcheng Town, but I don't know where they are located.
Of course, even if he finds a secret passage, he is not willing to break in, in case he is treated as an enemy, it will not be good.
"Tang Yan? What's going on inside? At this time, General Wang's question came from the communicator.
"It seems that it was attacked by a beast tide, and all the people in the town have taken refuge, and Wei Qianshou and I are ...... Ah......h
Tang Yan suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.
"What's wrong? Hey, hey, what's going on? ”
Wei Qianshou took a step forward, and suddenly found that Tang Yan had not followed, and when he looked back, he saw that the man seemed to be enduring endless suffering, holding his head with both hands, gasping for breath and half-squatting down.
Tang Yan ...... Tang Yan...... What happened to you? ”
At this moment, Tang Yan had no ability to respond to their questions at all, only that the objects in front of him were blurred, and the whole world was shaking, distorting, and becoming light and shadowy.
Ten meters to the right, there is a small wooden house, and in the back corner is a pile of firewood for making firewood, on which is embedded an axe, and a little rust is growing on the edge of the axe.
The windows of the chalet facing the street were nailed with cross planks, and the walls were a little dirty, and the mischievous children painted on them with chalk a little creature that looked like a dog not a dog, like a pig not a pig.
It was just after seeing that house that the whole person was hit hard, and the headache was unbearable, and many fragmented images flashed in his mind.
He wanted to keep a complete picture, he wanted to make a timeline, but none of that could be done, he just felt familiar with the house, as if it were ...... It seems that he has lived there, used that axe, chopped the wood, and scolded the disobedient imps with vague words.
I don't know how long it has been, but the image in my mind no longer flickered, the headache slowly subsided, and the scene in front of me began to become clear and relaxed.
He saw Wei Qianshou and Zang Feng's worried faces, and he also heard General Wang calling his name.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. He struggled to get up from the ground: "Just remembering something." ”
Zang Feng frowned.
Wei Qianshou didn't know that Tang Yan had lost his past memories, but he knew.
After Tang Yan came here, he recalled the past, what does this mean?
"I think I've been here for a while."
"You've been in Qingcheng for a while?" The three of them were stunned.
Tang Yan nodded, signaled to General Wang that he was fine, and walked towards the wooden house on the right.
The house had not been inhabited for a while, and there was a lot of dust falling between the windows and the wooden boards, and the urn in front of the door was also covered with dirty rainwater, and you could smell the pungent sour smell when you got close.
The door was shut, and there were locks outside.
When General Wang saw him staring at the lock in a daze, he was about to go over and smash it open with the butt of his gun.
At this time, Tang Yan made a move.
He touched the small pavilion next to him where the statue was enshrined, and when he pulled it out, he had an extra key in his palm.
