Chapter 67 Railroad Organization
As the capital and largest city of Massachusetts 200 years ago, Boston has strong scientific research, finance and technology, and the closer you get to the east coast, the more high-rise buildings that remain after the nuclear war...... Here, gunshots and explosions can be heard at any time, and the entrenched teams are ready to fight for territory and resources, and generators and searchlights are still working in the camps left behind by many of the teams that have failed to compete.
Zhang Lin didn't choose to move along the red brick road of freedom, because it would inevitably break into the shadow of the building, and in those chaotic battles, he could be sent to the sky at any time by rockets and other big killers flying from nowhere, so it was much safer to move along the road.
Although there were no directions on the Freedom Road, Zhang Lin, who knew the destination, took Alice and Pep to the Old North Church, the oldest church in Boston.
The interior of the church had become dilapidated, and the benches where the worshippers used to worship were all covered with broken wood, and a group of obscure ghouls were sent away, and several people soon made their way to the basement of the church along the dark tunnels, although there were flashlights, but the tombstones that could be seen at any time in the basement also made it feel eerie.
"No way? Are we on the wrong track? Piper asked, seeing how well Zhang Lin had gone along the way, but now that he had come to a dead end, she wondered if Zhang Lin was too confident and took the wrong path.
"Nope." Zhang Lin responded in a low voice, using a flashlight to find little by little by the wall, and soon found a metal disc embedded in the wall, and the edge of the disc was connected to a very simple line, which was obviously a mechanism.
The mechanism is very simple, and if you don't know it, you can tell that you need to turn the mechanism to piece together the word railroad if you walk along the Freedom Road.
Railroad, the prototype of which is the escape route established by the abolitionists before the American Imperialist Civil War, which saves a large number of slaves, which corresponds to the current behavior of the railroad organization liberating synths in the wasteland, and the other prototype is the in-game academy organization corresponding to the real Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and railroad is corresponding to an academic organization within the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "Technology Model Railroad Club", "hacker hacker" and "AI" Two words come from this organization.
Don't hear the name of the railway organization, just think of the kind of guerrilla organization that our Celestial Empire used to play tunnel warfare, or railway guerrillas and the like, in the radiation world, the railway organization and the academy used to be one, and they mastered no less technology than the academy, because of the difference in scientific concepts, they finally became mortal enemies.
From another point of view, the confrontation between the railway organization and the academy is not so much a movement similar to the emancipation of black slaves, but rather a conflict between the two opposing ideas of whether to treat artificial intelligence as human beings or continue to treat them as tools and slaves as artificial intelligence becomes more and more like humans......
The last letter of "click" was selected and pressed by Zhang Lin, and the wall on the side moved to one side, and a secret passage appeared in front of the three of them.
The secret passage was even darker, but a trace of personnel movement could be faintly heard, and before Zhang Lin could shine the flashlight into it, with a "snap", a light suddenly turned on, and a strong white light shone through, Piper exclaimed, and hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands.
"Stop!" A woman's warning voice came from the front, Piper put down his hand, and saw two women and a man standing opposite, the woman on the left was carrying a rotating machine gun, the man on the far right was holding a pistol and pointing nervously at them, and the one in the middle who was not holding a weapon should be the leader, and the voice just now was what she shouted.
"Where did you get your sunglasses!?" Piper turned his head to see what Zhang Lin meant and who would negotiate, only to see that Zhang Lin and Alice didn't know when they were wearing sunglasses, obviously prepared in advance to deal with the bright light that suddenly appeared just now.
"Eh, hehe, I bought it when I was in Diamond City...... Here you go. Zhang Lin chuckled twice, took off his sunglasses and handed them to Piper.
"Give me a hairy use now!"
“......”
Seeing that the people who broke into her stronghold did not give herself face at all, Desdemona was a little angry, "Who are you and what do you want to do here?" ”
"Calm down, we are coming along the [Freedom Road], not an enemy." Piper saw that the other party might pull the trigger at any time, and hurriedly explained.
"I hope you're not lying." The muzzle of the gun did not move, they were still vigilant, "Who revealed our contact information?" ”
Zhang Lin walked up to Piper and explained, "We are looking for the female mercenary who cooperated with you, she is our companion, we have been looking for her, as for how to find you, the source of this news is the Bench Hotel in Diamond City." ”
"You're looking for Emma? I've never heard of her having other companions in the wasteland. It seems that Desdemona and Zhang Lin are quite familiar with the Emma they are looking for, so they are still very suspicious of their intentions.
When Alice heard Desdemona's name, she immediately confirmed, "Sure enough, it's Sister Emma~"
Zhang Lin also remembered that in the character described by Alice before, the female warrior from the Amazon tribe who was proficient in bows, crossbows, javelins and spears seemed to be what they were looking for.
"Huh?" Hearing Little Lori's words, Desdemona's face looked much better, because she could hear that Little Lori really knew Emma, and she wasn't lying, "Okay, I believe you for the time being, I'm Desdemona, the leader of the railway, but you may be disappointed if you want to find Emma, she is not here at the moment, she went to Fanglin Town early this morning to resupply." ”
Thinking that he had passed by Fanglin Town on the way here, and had to turn around and go back, Zhang Lin was a little speechless, if he had gone in to have a look, he might have run into it.
"I didn't even know there was a party here, why didn't you invite me?" A bald young man wearing sunglasses walked out from behind.
"Deacon, you're late, they're Emma's friends, they're here to find someone."
"Oh, Emma is a master, are you? It's so cool! This bald little brother Di Geng, who was still wearing sunglasses in the underground secret room, seemed to be a little bohemian, and always laughed when he spoke, "Yo, Miss Piper, a well-known reporter in Diamond City, has been exposing the crimes of the Academy, Boss, they definitely won't be the lackeys of the Academy." ”
"Looks like we have a chance to work together?" After listening to Deagon's words, Desdemona was very confident in the accuracy of the information in the mouth of this seemingly unreliable guy under her command, and her attitude changed a lot, "If you are really Emma's companions, we may be able to talk more when we come back and sit here." ”
"Boss, we don't have a chair here......"
"You talk a lot!"
