Chapter 25: Retreat
The "Clean Water Project" also needs a key component called the "Eden Creator (GECK)", but it has not yet reached the stage where this thing is played, and James and others are only repairing the flood pump, control host, power supply and other devices of the water treatment station in advance to prepare for the implementation of the upcoming plan...... However, things didn't go so smoothly -
“…… Enclave? The sound of the helicopter was heard even by those in the underground control room, and Liz knew who was coming after reading the Pip-Boy's mission description, "I can guarantee that we are definitely not here to rob them of their power armor, then it's you...... Are they sponsors of your research? ”
Even if they were found in Rivet City by the Enclave's Eye, the Enclave should have sent someone to chase them from Rivet City instead of coming directly to the Jefferson Memorial, and they didn't know that Leeds would be 'fast traveling'.
"How could it be ......! It's a completely private project! Dr. Lee exclaimed, and it was no wonder why Leeds could assert that it was the Enclave...... The only one with helicopters in this area is the Enclave, okay! "James, since it's the Enclave, with their style, they must be here to rob us of our information, and even want to control this water treatment station!"
"Lee, you take Poole and them to escape from the sewers to the Brotherhood of Steel headquarters, and I'll overload the water purification station! Don't let the water purifier fall into the hands of the Enclave, who are hostile to the inhabitants of the wasteland! "James made the decision to sacrifice himself without even thinking about it, he took the issue of the lives of all the people in the region more than his own life!
"Are you crazy! The radiation from the overloading of the water purification station is deadly, and by that time the isolation door is closed, you will die! ”
"Dad?!" Hearing Dr. Lee say this, Poole immediately panicked.
"My son, someone has to do this...... After that, it's up to you. ”
"Dad!"
This is the inheritance of life, the great mission from the previous generation to the next generation.
"Well, I'm sorry to interrupt your touching parting of life and death...... Why don't you let me do this? If it weren't for the time constraints, Leeds would have been too embarrassed to interrupt the affectionate eye contact between James and Poole.
"Huh...... However...... "If you can, it is natural that you don't have to die and can prevent the Enclave from getting the water purifier, but the question is, is there really anyone willing to perform this mortal task on his behalf?"
Well, it's hard...... If this mission is really 'mortal'!
"'Overseas tourists' are not afraid of radiation, what am I afraid of," just switch the system, the MC system is not in the state of 'radiation pollution', it is like this, "You must not believe me when I say this...... Separate heads, soldier brothers, agent girls~"
"Do you finally want power armor to touch power armor......
"Krausa, we're just in charge of protecting the rest of the retreat."
"Hehe, things are finally getting interesting, and then the Brotherhood of Steel vs. the Enclave~?"
After more than ten seconds, the three of them switched systems and put out the X-02 power armor stored in the MC.
"What?!" It's weird enough that the backpack and the beep boy disappeared, but even more weird is the power armor that appears out of thin air, and there is absolutely no way to hide such a huge thing by a little trick!
Dr. Li involuntarily asked, "Are you people sent by the academy?!" "Only the rumored academy has the potential to have this kind of technology.
"Academy? …… Hehe, there seems to be something in this world that we don't know, and I'll ask you later...... "It sounds like the tech academy is higher than the Enclave, is there a more powerful power armor to grab?" Liz immediately paid attention to the word "academy", "It's just a pity that a few of us are just 'overseas tourists', Uncle James, why don't you teach me how to do it?" Time is running out. ”
"Well, it's easy!" James didn't think about Liz's identity either, and turned around and ran after taking him over to instruct how to operate, "Then I'll leave it to you after that!" ”
"Yes...... Seeing that everyone had already left under the path of Lyon, Liz closed the isolation door unhurriedly.
"Why don't you test how high the radiation level is...... Forget it, the deathclaw has been taught to me once, so let's switch back to the MC system first......... "The beep boy and the backpack disappear."
"Whew...... The Jefferson Memorial - Groundwater Treatment Station - Purifier! OVERDRIVE MODE !! …… I press ~ "According to the momentum of the battle release!"
(Boom!) )
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"By order of the president, the U.S. government is about to take over here! I command you to stop resisting at once! "An officer in a fine fur coat stands behind two X-02 soldiers and makes a declaration of surrender.
However, there will be no survivors and captives in this persuasion, and when they get all the information and control of the entire water treatment station, these wastelanders will die...... Ah, especially the few who snatched their power armor! The marshal sent him doesn't care about the president's order to 'stay alive'!
"I'm sorry, if you don't attack us, we won't resist." When they rushed out of Lyon, the sewer opening, which was used as an evacuation port, was already behind the Enclave troops, and they had no choice but to force an exchange of fire with inferior weapons.
However, the weapon's inferiority was compensated for by technology, and the horrific shooting ability of the gun to hit the head armor gave the officer the courage to show his head.
Of course, the prestige in the mouth is still very sufficient, who let the number and weapons have the advantage, "I ask the real person in charge of the project to come out immediately and give us all the relevant information of the project!" ”
"This can't be, this is a private project, the Enclave has no authority to do this, I ask you to get out of here immediately!" James replied loudly.
"Don't talk nonsense, I order you to give us all the relevant information, and you will also help the Enclave scientists take full control of the water treatment plant! Otherwise, I guarantee that none of you will live! "Under the style of the Enclave, no matter what, you can't survive~
"Colonel? It's a colonel, right? I'm really not lying to you, the device is finished, it hasn't even really worked, you're wasting your time. ”
"Don't fool me, your actions are under our supervision!"
"Colonel, I can assure you that this facility is finished, and we never used the results of those experiments......"
"Hmph, even scientists are just goddamn wastelanders! Forget it, attack with all your might, and kill all but the man in the shelter clothes-"
"-How's it all~?" A strange voice came from his ears, and a long sword glowing with electric light suddenly appeared next to the colonel's neck.
“?!”
"Oh...... Don't be impulsive, don't you want your colonel to live? Turning around with the hostages and keeping the high-ranking colonel as a wall of flesh to block bullets, Liz slowly led the enemy leader to retreat in the direction of his own people, "After coming out of there, I saw that I was fighting like this, and I thought about what I could do against a pile of power armor, but I didn't expect the leader to go into battle lightly in order to pretend to be forced to be light, and I was saved......"
"The Chinese stealth suit and the swords of high-ranking Chinese officers in the materials ?! You're the fourth 'overseas tourist'! "Worthy of being a senior member of the Enclave, he recognized what was on Leeds at a glance.
"BINGO," Liz nodded to his allies and told them to leave the sewers while they were being constrained, and moved back to the sewer mouth step by step, "It's just that all my equipment was found in an arsenal in the ruins of the South, and we weren't sent by the hostile countries before the war, as you might think." ”
“……!”
"Don't worry, we didn't kill those four soldiers when we grabbed the power armor before, and we won't kill you this time when we are sure to retreat," Leon and the others had all climbed down, and Liz was in a similar position, "So let your soldiers lower their guns and retreat!" ”
“…………”
"Do you want me to be ruthless on you to show that you would rather die than give in? Soldier...... I wouldn't mind cutting off one of your arms as evidence......"
"Listen to him!" Sure enough, it was cowardly.
"So, haha~~ goodbye!"
