Chapter Fifty-Eight: First Encounter with the Brotherhood of Steel
"This is the AF95 tactical channel...... Emergency call! Our squad has been attacked at the Cambridge Police Station, call for backup! ”
The distress signal from the "Pip-Beep Boy" radio made Zhang Lin understand one thing, that is, that guy Knight really went all the way to Diamond City, and he was worried that he would go to the branch line or something, but he didn't expect him to really care about anything.
"Alice, do you think we're going to be nosy?"
To be honest, for his first main quest, Zhang Lin's eagerness is obviously not as good as the guy who is looking for his son, after all, although he is looking for a character in his own game, but except for the current little Lori Alice, he has no concept of those characters who have not met yet, what do they look like, what is their personality, basically only through some daily memories of little Lori.
So when encountering this kind of branch line that would obviously delay their trip to Diamond City, Zhang Lin handed over the decision to Xiao Lori.
"It seems that the person asking for help is a big sister, so let's go and take a look."
Well, if you change to a man, you don't care, right?
The two of them moved in the direction of the distress signal becoming stronger, and along the way, there were constantly mad ghouls coming out of the alleys on both sides of the street, although there was no threat, but it was annoying enough, but they were killed one by one in the process of practicing marksmanship in the over-energetic little Lori, and the moving target missed, so it would be good to let Xiao Tile restrict the other party's movements, anyway, Xiao Wa, who can fly, is not easy to be injured by this kind of guy who has no IQ.
Of course, Zhang Lin would not give up this opportunity to practice marksmanship, and also shot at the approaching mad ghouls as he walked.
As for why not melee combat, why waste physical strength on mobs that can be solved with bullets, anyway, the raiders in Lexington Town have already gotten a lot of bullets from ordinary guns.
All in all, when they arrived at their destination, both of them had a lot of improvement in marksmanship, one was a fast learner, so strong that they didn't know what recoil was, and the other was originally full of proficient throwing skills, and they were more or less familiar with long-range shooting, although they would not immediately become masters, but they were still much better than those waste looters who swept around with guns.
"Who are you, civilians?" In the fortifications of the police station, a guy in a big tin can surrounded by wild ghouls was able to break the siege under the bullets of the two, although it was guessed that the two heard the rescue signal coming, but the combination of this young man with a little girl does not look like an ordinary person, especially the two are neatly dressed, not even a little injured, so that he is a little unsure of the identity of the two.
"We had just left the shelter and we heard a call for help as we passed by, so we came over and had a look." Zhang Lin looked the tin can without a helmet up and down, and made sure that the other party was the paladin Danse of the Iron Brotherhood, and quipped: "You can be over-changed with this tin can, are you still afraid of a group of brainless mad ghouls?" ”
Before Dans could answer, the little Lori who saw something like power armor for the first time started a one-person onlooker mode with a "whoa", which is the kind of looking around in a circle.
"Coming out of the shelter? No wonder something is different. It's a little embarrassing, but Danse can still feel that the two of them have no malicious intent, although it is not the iconic blue skin of the Vault, but Zhang Lin's nightingale suit from the world of the Elder Scrolls and the delicate clothes on Xiao Lori don't look like the wasteland dwellers can have, so he still accepted Zhang Lin's explanation.
"Now, is it your help, uncle?" Little Lori crouched down and knocked on the leg armor of the power armor, feeling the sturdiness of this layer of iron, and then looked up and asked.
I didn't know that the little Lori at his feet was thinking about how much effort it would take to dismantle his iron skin, Dans smiled and replied: "Thank you for your help, as you can see, we are on a reconnaissance mission, but the situation is not good, since we came here, we have been constantly attacked, the necessary supplies are insufficient, and one team member has been sacrificed, and my power armor can only save my life." ”
"Uncle, who are you, and what are you wearing?" Since facing Preston before, his charm value didn't play much role, and when he met a man, Zhang Lin was ready to let Xiao Lori talk to him, you must know that Xiao Lori is often the uncle's nemesis.
"Well, I'm Dans, a paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel." In the face of Lori's offensive, Dan didn't have much resistance, and answered all questions, "I'm wearing the T60 power armor that the Brotherhood is standard, and you see there's a logo here." As he spoke, he pointed to the white spray paint on his chest.
"Can I get power armor then? Can I take a lot of caps to buy or something else? Little Lori's two big watery eyes stared at Danse.
"Ahem...... Sorry, there are no children's models for power armor, and we can only maintain and modify the power armor ourselves, which itself is very scarce, and it is not enough to supply the members of the Brotherhood. Although he didn't have enough resistance to little Lori, he really couldn't agree to this kind of thing, and he looked at Zhang Lin again, thinking that this was definitely what he signaled, "But if you can help solve our current predicament, you can join our brotherhood." ”
It's definitely not so hasty for the Iron Brotherhood to recruit newcomers, but Danse, who realizes that this big and small two people are unusual, is still ready to recruit them, after all, the chance of being able to fool someone to help at this time is too low, thinking that the guy in T45 before ran in front of the police station with a large wave of wild ghouls running past the police station without saying a word, Danse is quite unhappy, and there is no spirit of helping others.
"Okay, then forget it......" Little Lori's tactics failed, and Zhang Lin had to take over the conversation.
"Maybe you don't know about the Brotherhood......." Dan Sbarabhara said in a bunch, almost the hope that the Brotherhood is a wasteland or something.
"After all, you just want us to help, no matter how much you say, it's useless, or you will give me your armor?"
Being said by Zhang Lin to the point, Dans was a little embarrassed, of course he couldn't take out the power armor as a payment, but other things might be, "My laser rifle is not bad, if you are willing to help, I can give it to you." ”
Well, the weapons that you choose to give away if you choose to join the fraternity in the game are now being paid, so do you want to accept them?
"Uncle's favor, we'll help!"
Before Zhang Lin could make a decision, little Lori, who was very unhappy that she didn't have the power armor she could wear, responded directly, and looked at her like she really turned her attention to the laser rifle called Righteous Authority in Danse's hand.
"Dans! The situation of the Reese Knight is not good, we don't have any more treatment needles! The door of the police station suddenly opened, and a woman wearing a windproof hat and carrying a small bag ran out, this is the main owner who gave the rescue signal, Master Helen.
Unexpectedly, their supplies were so short that they didn't even have treatment drugs.
