26: Is This World Still Worth Saving?
On the outskirts of Washington's DC wasteland, Andel is not a particularly secretive place as a small settlement.
Elder Owen Leon's confusion, isn't it that he doesn't know where Andel is? It's that he doesn't understand why Misr Shan would mention Andal.
In addition to large settlements like Bomb Town and Rivet City, there are many, many settlements like Andel throughout the wasteland.
As long as you have the strength or guts to take on the almost ubiquitous Wasteland bandits, you can have no problem starting a survivor settlement on your own.
Anyway, in this wasteland, since 200 years ago, there has been no such thing as the Land Bureau and the Tax Bureau.
Compared with other small settlements, which are mostly helpless to huddle together for warmth, the quality of life in the town of Andel is very high...... This was said by those who passed through Andel and were "lucky" to return at the same time.
Because of its remote location, it was not affected by the nuclear explosion, and it was a house that could be completely sheltered from the wind and rain.
Plenty of electricity for daily lighting and cooking, and relatively clean drinking water.
Most, or perhaps most appealing, to the other wasteland guests, is the "hospitality" of the inhabitants of the Andel settlement
Due to the constraints of resources, the vast majority of settlements will point their guns at wastelanders who want to take advantage.
Often a box of sweet wheat cannonballs, a bottle of nuclear cola, a bag of anti-radiant or even a treatment needle or jet can cause a bloody conflict.
But Andel is different, and all those who are "lucky" to come back from Andel praise the residents of Andel for their "kindness".
These propaganda attracted more people to Andal......
Since the hukou system has also disappeared along with the Land Bureau and the Tax Bureau, and the wasteland life is standard, it is precarious.
Few people have found that the number of wastelanders who go to Andel and those who are "lucky" enough to return from Andel does not seem to be in the right proportion.
The problem is that the town of Andel has never expanded, and is still a small settlement of less than fifty people.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, but all who know the truth ...... They were silent about it, and were determined not to approach the area of Andal.
For example, Mr. Burke, a wasteland broker who was shot in the head by Mi Rin before, if there is really a deal that makes him have to go to the Andel settlement, he will definitely bring a sufficient number of mercenaries with him, and he will definitely stay for a long time.
As a Rice Shan, who has played the Fallout game about the Washington DC Wasteland series, he also knows the catty ...... of Andel Town
As a player, Misr knows more than most of the wastelanders who think they know exactly what Andel is.
After obtaining detailed locations for Vault 112 and Vault 87 from the Cathedral of the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel headquarters.
Mishan and his party, who didn't have too much contact with the Iron Brotherhood who didn't talk to speculation, skipped the Jefferson Memorial Hall, where the water purifier was located in the original plot.
Instead, they were directly diverted to two shelters.
According to the plan, Mi Rin will go to Vault 112 alone, which is not dangerous, and with Mi Shan's spoilers, the virtual world Tranquility Lane in Vault 112 is not difficult.
Rice Shan and his party travel to Vault 87, the birthplace of super mutants in the Washington, DC wasteland, in search of the G.E.C.K Eden Creator.
After learning from Mishan's words that this device is in the "real world that belongs to the player", it is the name of a game editor software.
Greenhill also became interested in the game's Garden of Eden creator...... She wondered how the inhabitants of this world had acquired the authority to create.
According to Greenhill's understanding, the Garden of Eden Creator and those Creator Artifacts in the Titan Ruins of Azeroth World are the same thing.
Yoneshan didn't explain much about this, as Yoneshan didn't know where the G.E.C.K Eden creator came about.
Anyway, according to the game's setting, having this thing can open up a suitable soil for human survival in any environment.
…… What is this, a pocket-sized planetary modifier?
However, before parting, Mishan made a slight detour and came to the Andel settlement...... Not a detour to be exact, if you only go to Vault 112, the Andel settlement is just on the way.
As the "lucky" wastelanders said, when Mishan and his party appeared at the Andel settlement.
Those well-dressed and ruddy residents of the settlement, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't see the image of a wasteland guest at all in their environment.
With a warm smile on his face, he welcomed Mishan and his party.
Mi Rin, who always felt that something was wrong, subconsciously glanced at Mi Shan's father.
It's a pity that Mi Shan is wearing a helmet in the shape of Brother Zhu's head, so he can't see what his expression is.
But in a few seconds, Mi Rin didn't have to worry about what was wrong.
Because her father Mishan was unusually easy-going, and ordered in a cold and bone-chilling tone:
"Raze this place, and don't let a single person escape."
“??” Mi Rin and Jia Jia, who didn't know why, looked at Mi Shan with shocked eyes at the same time.
Is this "extinction order" style of tone really the Rice Shan's father/adult, who just complained about what those Brotherhood of Steel did a few days ago?
Only Rice Shan knew that perhaps the Brotherhood of Steel would be wronged in its extermination operation in Pittsburgh. But here...... These are the inhabitants of Andal. No one is innocent.
Death is the greatest forgiveness for them.
Although Greenhill couldn't understand the order either, she could hear the indifference in Mistress Missar's tone and not allowing any questioning.
Greenhill, who follows the idea that Lord Rice Shan is above all else, pulls out the chainsaw sword made to better match the style of this world with the "bright" smiles of the residents of the small town of Andel, and begins to kill.
For a time, the originally "peaceful" and "quiet" town of Andel fell into chaos.
Seeing that the eldest sister Greenhill had started work, Jiajia, who looked dazed, could only join in, but Mi Rin, who still couldn't understand and stood by Mishan's father's side, wanting to wait for Mishan's father to give a reasonable explanation for this matter.
The absolute difference in combat effectiveness did not last long for the resistance of the residents of Andel Town.
In just ten minutes, the townspeople, less than fifty people, were cleaned up one-sidedly.
When there were only a few people left, the residents wanted to flee separately...... The result was either frozen into ice sculptures, burned to ashes, or blasted to pieces by the whizzing arcane missiles.
When everything calmed down, Mi Shan walked into a country house in the Andel settlement, took out a pot of what looked like barbecue from the refrigerator in the living room and said to Jiajia:
"Do you know how to do it? If you can, you'll find out about it. ”
For unknown reasons, Jiajia unleashed an identification technique on the barbecue on the plate that did not exist in the game.
A few seconds later, under Mirin's even more inexplicable eyes, Jiajia, whose expression had changed drastically, rushed out of the villa and vomited into the corner.
"Daddy......" Mirin's voice trembled a little as she seemed to sense something, but she couldn't believe it.
Mi Shan, who knew that Mi Rin would definitely not know how to identify the technique, said, "This house should have a basement, if not, go to other houses and look for it...... Then you get the idea. ”
Under Yonesugi's instructions, less than a minute later, Rice Rin, who came on a basement sightseeing tour, also joined the ranks of vomiting in the corner.
While spitting back, he said to himself with a broken face: "Why? Why is this happening? Why are they doing this? Why would they do it? ”
It's not surprising that Mi Shan will react like this to Mi Rin and Jiajia, because when he was playing the game, he was also extremely disgusted after knowing the truth here.
Regardless of which save it is, it will make the choice it is now...... Not to mention coming to reality.
To put it bluntly, if you don't slaughter the town of Andal, Mishan will not be able to understand it.
Mishan, who was thoughtful, took off his helmet and looked at Greenhill and said, "Don't you need me to explain why?" ”
"My lord, they don't deserve to breathe the same air as you." Even every breath of air Mishan breathed was filtered through dozens of layers by Greenhill's modified power armor.
"So I've been thinking about ......" Misar sighed and whispered, "Is this world still worth saving?" ”
