Chapter 69: Emma's Experience
This is the weapons shop in Fanglin Town.
"Oh, Miss Emma, it's a pleasure to see you again." A somewhat hoarse voice rang out from the mouth of a guy with shrunken skin and a skull-like nose that looked like a dead man who had been lying in a coffin for a long time, and that he was the ghoul who had retained his self-consciousness unlike the mad ghouls.
"Click!" A small, portable crossbow was suddenly raised, pointing at the door of the speaker's head.
"Move your face away, Hancock, every time I see your face, I can't help but want to make a hole in your head." The owner of the crossbow is the game character Zhang Lin is looking for in this world, the Amazon warrior Emma, she has a waist-length golden ponytail, she is tall, her close-fitting brown-red leather armor is a little out of place with the usual outfit in the wasteland, and the longbow on her back and the quiver with arrows make her stand out from the rest.
"I'm the mayor of this town anyway, don't give me face so much every time we meet!" Although he was pointed at the head with a crossbow, the guy known as Hancock was very calm, because it was not the first time that he had been pointed at his head like this.
Hancock was not exposed to radiation and became a ghoul before the war, he was originally a normal human, the mayor of Diamond City, Madonna, was his brother, when the mayor of Diamond City was replaced by a synth by the academy, he was gradually alienated without knowing it, until the synth mayor introduced a policy of isolating ghouls, which led to the murder of countless ghouls who retained their sanity, Hancock, who was still human, severed ties with him and migrated to Fanglin Town, he overthrew the original ruler of Fanglin Town and became the unofficial mayor, Taking in a large number of people who had nowhere to go and then turned into a ghoul because of the use of some kind of radiopharmaceutical, it was not unacceptable for him personally.
The reason why Emma reacted a little too aggressively to Hancock was because there were zombies in her hometown, and she almost had a big fight when she first entered Fanglin Town, but fortunately she was stopped in time and there were no casualties, although she slowly accepted these sane ghouls later, but every time she met, she still couldn't get used to the other party's face that wanted to shoot an arrow when she looked at it.
Since the disappearance of the master, to the dispersal of everyone, Emma has been in the wasteland world for more than a year, fortunately, when she was in the Temple of Time and Space, there are sisters who use firearms and technological weapons, plus everyone is from different worlds, so she quickly got rid of her discomfort in the new world.
In a world completely different from her hometown, also full of evil, betrayal, fear and killing, she was used to fighting, and instead of being in a corner, she became a lone mercenary, although many organizations invited her after she became famous, but when her master was away, she only fought for herself.
When Emma first arrived, she was rescued by a marauder who was attacking the caravan, and through them she gained her first understanding of the world, and at the invitation of the other party, her first job in the wasteland began as a caravan guard.
At first, the members of the guard wondered why she didn't use a firearm and instead used a bow and arrow, which they thought was very outdated, but Emma showed them what it means to be able to shoot bombs with a bow and arrow.
I remember that with her joining, her escort team began to become famous among the wasteland traders, and the tasks became more and more successful, and it seemed that it would have a good development.
Things finally changed, people are always easily influenced by greed, the captain and some of the members began to be dissatisfied with the payment of the escort caravan, thinking that with Emma in the team they could earn more, so they started to have the crooked idea of devouring a large caravan escort, and then take the mountain as the king, robbing the passing merchants, at first this plan was prepared by Emma, they wanted to let her be pulled into the water without knowing it, but they were still discovered when they started.
Emma originally wanted to break away from the group, and everyone went their separate ways, but the captain, who was completely blinded by greed, tried to use force to coerce Emma to continue their plan, and in the end, only Emma and a few people who did not participate in the plan escorted the caravan to its destination.
After such an incident, Emma ignored the remaining team members and left alone, becoming a wandering lone traveler, until one day she was in a gathering place, and when asked if she would like to accept the commission, she began her career as a mercenary, she clashed with the Gunslinger organization, eliminated many marauder gangs, and rescued three generations of synths who were chased by the Academy with Stalkers.
It was because of saving the synth that Emma came into contact with the railway organization for the first time, although she did not agree with some of the concepts of the railway organization, but the academy's behavior of treating synths as tools and slaves made her even more unhappy, so she helped the railway organization complete a lot of commissions, and she became more and more familiar with the leader of the railway organization, Desemona, although she did not officially join the railway organization, but in Desemona's opinion, Emma should be a like-minded person with them.
Emma chatted with Hancock as she made bows and arrows from the weapons table, and since there were no blacksmiths in this world, she learned how to make bows and arrows and maintain bows and crossbows with the weapon workbench after asking someone for advice.
Putting away the large number of bows and arrows on the table that could be used for a while, she was about to go to the bar to sit and relax, but she heard a very unpleasant voice coming from the door of the town.
"Do you need insurance, hand over all the belongings in your pockets, otherwise all kinds of accidents will find you, it is a very serious, bloody kind of accident......"
In the eyes of Emma and Hancock, a bald head with a cigarette in his mouth was blackmailing three people who had just entered the city, among the three, one was wearing power armor, the other was wearing a hood, a man with black leather armor, and a little girl looking around, I really don't know how this bald head could think of blackmailing such a combination.
Emma didn't see the little girl's face clearly because of the distance, but it didn't stop her from being dissatisfied with the bald head.
"Looks like there's no need for this guy to stay in my town." Hancock didn't have an expression on his face, but it was clear in his tone that he had murderous intent towards the guy.
"Don't mind if I teach him a lesson for you." Emma's crossbow was aimed at Hancock at the bald head.
"Feel free~" Hancock made a gentlemanly gesture.
In the next second, the bolt shot through the bald man's chest from behind.
