Chapter 65: Swan of Swan Lake

"Are you sure you really want to follow us?" Coming to the gate of Diamond City, Zhang Lin and Alice, who had already received the task hint, were ready to set off for the location of the railway organization.

Piper, on the other hand, seemed to have made up his mind to follow the two of them.

"Of course, I know the dangers of this wasteland better than you do, and I can protect you......"

Zhang Lin can recognize what Piper said about his understanding of the wasteland, after all, he knows more about the source game than reality, and as for providing protection, he is noncommittal, and he will know it when Piper sees the combat effectiveness of the two.

"What about your sister? You don't care about her anymore? ”

"It's okay, she's familiar with the work of the newspaper and will take care of her ......" In fact, Piper still cares about his sister, but he is not good at expressing this concern to his sister.

"Since you insist on ......"

No sooner had the trio left Diamond City than a tall tin can and a second-generation synth with a torn face revealing internal electronics walked in.

"I said, Nick, what's that big monster in Swan Lake? I feel like if I get smashed by that guy, my armor won't be far from being scrapped. A male voice changed from the helmet of the power armor.

"That's the giant beast Swan, it only wanders in the lake, it's good you didn't provoke it, otherwise you wouldn't have to go to your son, it's the Grim Reaper in the park, of course, if you have a big killer like a little fat man, I didn't say it." The synth known as Nick was expressionless, but he still said jokingly.

Knight said that if he ran out of bullets from the rotating machine gun, he would definitely dare to go up and scold it.

"Hey, Valentine, you're back? I heard that you almost got cheated by your employer. Some Diamond City residents who passed by greeted Nick warmly when they saw him, and at the same time did not forget to complain about Nick's experience of being cheated by Diamond City detectives.

The fear of synths among the residents of Diamond City is aimed at the third-generation synths who will replace themselves or those around them silently, and Nick is a second-generation who can easily be distinguished by appearance, plus Nick often helps the people in the city, so everyone is very relieved about him.

"Yo, Uncle Popsicle from the Vault is back?" Nat, who was selling newspapers, saw Nick and Knight in power armor, shook the newspaper in his hand and said hello, as for what this title is, of course it was Zhang Lin who said it.

Knight looked bewildered under the cover of his helmet......

The horror story of Swan Moon, the giant beast of Swan Lake in Boston Common, sends chills down the spine of many wasteland dwellers every time they talk about it.

Swan was once a homeless man who was arrested and imprisoned for committing a crime, but at the time, the experiments that were being carried out on the FEV virus required a lot of human experiments, so the prison offered a criminal exoneration program on the condition that he would be an experimental subject of the FEV virus.

The experiment didn't sound difficult, as Swan was told that he only needed to stay in a hut on the shores of Swan Lake for a month, keeping a daily record of his physical sensations and condition, during which time there was plenty of water and food, and Schwann agreed without hesitation, and his tragedy began.

At first, after contracting the FEV virus, Swan felt a little unwell, but this did not make him give up, and by the time he persevered for 14 days, his intelligence and physical strength began to rise significantly, which surprised him, and he fantasized that he would become a superhero in the comics (there are also superhero comics in the Fallout world), and even actively applied to join the scientific research team, hoping to learn more about his changes. But good fortune didn't favor him, and after a week, Swann began to lose his mental disorder, went crazy, and lost consciousness from time to time, which meant that the FEV virus in his body was out of control and was about to destroy his consciousness.

When he was about to lose his mind, Shi Wang, who had almost forgotten who he was, wrote a crooked sentence on a piece of paper in order to remind himself: "YOU ARE SWAN"

Swan, Swan, Swan, that's his name, the crazy Swan completely forgot his identity, he mutated into a huge body like a hill and instantly tore through the prison where he was imprisoned, the torn steel and cement were like a giant hammer in his hands, and the skulls of the two guards who were alarmed were smashed in one fell swoop, and in his vague consciousness, he only remembered the eye-catching words on the note.

He is Shi Wang, the "swan" in Swan Lake, he removed the swan statue decorated in the lake, and the head and wings of the swan were tied to his body by him, wandering in Swan Lake forever, perhaps he has completely regarded himself as a swan.

"I said Xiao Hei, how do you know so much about that monster in Swan Lake, it can't be made up, right?" Listening to Zhang Lin tell the story of Swan Lake Swan, Piper, who thinks he knows a lot of rumors about the wasteland, is a little incredulous, after all, most of the legends about that monster are only the terrifying monster described in the mouth of the person who escaped by chance, plus the only word in the monster's mouth, people call the monster "Swan".

“...... You're just going to make it up for me. "It's still suspicious to tell a true story, Zhang Lin responded angrily.

"Oh, Boston Common, Swan Lake~" Alice shook her head and listened to Zhang Lin's story, looking very happy, and she didn't know if she was interested in the story or the monster named Swan.

Pep looked over to Lori, only to see her pointing to a sign on the side of the road, which indicated the direction of Boston Common.

"Hey, aren't you really going to Swan Lake!?" Before he could find out, Pep noticed that the direction they were heading must have passed Swan Lake.

"Yes, that's where the search for the railroad organization began, don't you believe it."

Zhang Lin said as he stretched out the "beep boy" in front of Piper.

"What is this? Don't think I haven't seen a Pip-Boy, how can there be such a feature? ”

There have been many groups of people coming out of the shelter, and many of the inhabitants of the wasteland are their descendants, so the "Pip-Boy" is not something so rare that no one has ever seen it, but it is the first time that Piper has seen this kind of thing in Zhang Lin's hand that will mark the task prompt on the map.

"The version you haven't seen, don't make a fuss~" Anyway, Piper hasn't really used it, Zhang Lin casually made a reason in the other party's weird eyes.

As a reporter, Piper is very inquisitive about everything, and he doesn't want to believe Zhang Lin's perfunctory explanation at all, and insists on asking him to give a reasonable explanation, Zhang Lin can't tell her that this is a "plug-in" given by the system.

Before they knew it, the three of them were at the gate of Boston Common, the location of the mission prompt.

A security robot set up in tour guide mode detects tourists, walks out of the charging device, and advertises to the trio the Freedom Trail, a road that engraves the history of the American Imperialists' Revolutionary War hundreds of years ago, and is also a red brick road that connects 16 historical and cultural sites in Boston, and Boston Common is the starting point of this Freedom Trail.

The railroad organization took advantage of this by directing those who discovered the secrets in it to their location.

However, Zhang Lin and the others did not rush to pay attention to this for the time being, because Alice had already run into the park.

"The radiation here is so high, you just go in??" Seeing Zhang Lin follow Lori into the park, Piper reluctantly injected himself with an anti-radiant to resist the harsh radiation environment, "Has any other reporter ever done something like this?" ”
