Chapter Eighty-Five: New Vegas Ends

"-Sounds like you're a lot more exciting than me~~ I just need to dodge NCR soldiers who are about as alert as civilians~~" Ada, who was meeting the others at the Mojave outpost, couldn't help but laugh after listening to Leon's report...... Anyway, the person who was roasted to two matures by [Holographic Security] is not himself.

"It can only be said that this can be regarded as adding some joy to the boring journey," the combination of power armor and Gauss rifles, coupled with team action, can indeed remove a lot of trouble, and the appearance of [Holographic Security] can be regarded as ending this comfortable boredom, "So, what about your stuff Ada?" We're heading back to the East Coast, so don't tell me you're still looking for weapons. ”

Looking at Ada's triumphant appearance, everyone knows that she has stolen the coveted "Chinese stealth suit" from the Hoover Dam, but Dog Meat can theoretically take away another ranged weapon and a melee weapon.

"No need, I've already asked Dog Meat to help me bring it back~~ Although it's just a 'pulse pistol' and a sharp Japanese knife for robots and appliances." Like Liz, Ida stuffed the Vat into the stealth suit and then let it carry the weapon back to the Overworld to complete the so-called "binding procedure", hoping that villager A and Dog * would find it in time, otherwise the dog meat would be too pitiful.

“…… Pulse pistol, hum, convenient and easy to use. "As soon as he heard that Ada's weapon was still full of 'agent flavor', Krausa couldn't help but snort coldly. Even if both sides clearly said that they were mixed with Liz, the American GI and the female spy still didn't match.

"Damn, there is a comparison to realize that we have not gained any benefit from this trip!"

The equipment that the three of Leeds were able to take away had been bound three years ago, not to mention that they hadn't found it this time. Even if you find the "Super Gauss Rifle", you can't take it with you. As for consumables that can be used directly, the word "wasteland" is a good explanation of why they can't meet their needs. If you want to drink good wine, eat delicious food, and pop beautiful women, why not go back to the biochemical world?

"Ahem." Leon coughed dryly, "I still think it makes sense to help so many super mutants......"

failed to show his ambitions in his own world, but became a hero in this world...... Hmm~~ This feels so cool!

"And confirming the miracle effect of the golden apple on super mutants makes more sense, right, split?" Liz looked over with disdain, don't think he doesn't know why this guy is separated from his wife and instead walks all the way to New Vegas with a super mutant to find himself.

Because you think Fox is honest and sincere? Please, I also thought that Fox was honest and sincere, why didn't I always escort him and send him out of Vault 87. Or even find him a new home? Anyway, Leeds didn't believe that Lyon's morals were high enough to be a saint.

"Haha, Bai Mao, what are you talking about, why don't I understand~~"

"Hehe, Leon, Bi has been seen through by everyone...... What about the humans who have been transformed back by super mutants? And the 'Fox' I know? Ida looked around, and the number of people who came and those who left did not change.

"They have a bit of trouble to deal with...... Leon mused.

“……?” Ida seemed a little confused. However, I didn't go on without understanding the atmosphere.

The [human] side merges with the [super mutant side], some people escape from reality and abandon what they did as a super mutant as a nightmare, some are tormented by mutilating their compatriots and eating the memories of humans raw, and some people can't tell which one is themselves. Some people still have the headaches they had from being injected with too many stealth kids as super mutants - Fawkes and Marcus were the two most mentally stable compared to them, and the reason they stayed in Jacobs was to counsel them.

It is far from them truly coming out of the suffering. It's going to take a while, but it's more than the ones who are still fighting against humanity as "super mutants". They're happy enough.

“…… All in all, the West Coast thing is done. "Although the results are not ideal. Poole didn't want to force it on, "We can no longer stay here and get in the way of other people's eyes, but...... Liz you ......" Now that Leeds and others have the ability to "travel fast", besides, it is unknown whether people will not even bother to return to the East Coast and leave this world directly.

"Haha, I'm going to send you home~~" Liz patted Poole's shoulder with power armor and smiled, "I don't want a tragedy like 'completing a diplomatic mission but hitting the streets on the way home' that can make people laugh~"

"Poof, please don't curse me!" The death flag was raised high, "BUT...... If you can, I beg you to stay on the East Coast for a few more days. ”

"Are you sure it's just 'a few days'?" Leeds spreads its hands.

“…… Hmm, maybe a few months? Poole also understands that Liz already understands what he means, there are N times more super mutants on the East Coast than on the West Coast!

"......," Leeds looked back at Leon and the others, "at most until your child is born." ”

"Hmmm! Sorry for your trouble! ”

――――――――――― a few years later, the Eastern Brotherhood canteen ――――――――――――――

[--This is the end of our journey on the West Coast.] Of course, the series of events that have been put on track on the West Coast will not stop with our departure, so let me tell you step by step in chronological order......]

[First of all, Jacob's Town, located deep in the mountains, is no longer a 'town where super mutants and humans coexist', and naturally there is no need to be on guard against attacks from the NCR. After a series of negotiations, Jacob's Town was nominally placed under the jurisdiction of the NCR, but after losing the threat of super mutants, the NCR also seemed to be uninterested in this remote town...... As for those who have been reverted to their original status thanks to the "golden apples" of people from another world? Everyone has their own choices, some choose to escape what they have done and stay in the remote town of Jacobs, some try to return to their hometown according to their memories to find their loved ones, and some decide to follow the well-known Marcus Knight and Fox Knight to save the super mutants. 】

[Next is the Followers of the Apocalypse.] Maybe it was what we did to the super mutants that reached their ears, and most of them finally decided to move from the West Coast to the East Coast. With a large number of wasteland wanderers in the Mojave region, it would be difficult for them to safely cross thousands of kilometers of wasteland, but the value of 'platinum chips' would be enough to get such a group of NCR guards - yes. Rather than Mr. House, who is ruthless to the wasteland nomads, they chose NCR, even though NCR was unable to show the value of the platinum chips in the short term. 】

[Then, due to the growing arrogance of the Caesar Legion in the Mojave area, the president of the NCR had to come to the front line Hoover Dam from the safety of his nest to give a speech in order to seat under his ass, but he was successfully assassinated by the Legion during the speech...... This is nothing in essence, one president goes down and another president comes up, and now this president is not a very honest and capable person, but the assassination of the president is an extremely heavy blow to the momentum of the army. The Legion's assault on the Hoover Dam was barely stoppable by the NCR. At this time, Mr. House's robot unit came to the aid of the NCR, and the two sides worked together to knock the Legion out. 】

[You may have heard the story of Mr. House, as a person with a strong desire to make New Vegas independent by force and make himself a dictator to develop technology, he can't be too friendly to NCR with platinum chips.] But the NCR was the better choice than the Legion, and between 'joining forces' and 'being knocked down in order', Mr. House chose to work together - and as a result, the Mojave region once again remained in a 'three-legged position', but intelligence over the years showed. The Legion had already shown the disadvantages of a backward system because of Caesar's old age, and the decline was becoming more and more obvious. The future lies between Mr. House and NCR. 】

[Finally, the Western Brotherhood of Steel, with which our alliance has long existed in name only, is too weak as the fourth force in the Mojave region and too strong as a local power. Under the oppression of the three major forces. may have fought bravely, but in the end they disappeared into the smoke with the Cannon Clan and the Great Khan Gang...... Some of its survivors still live in the wasteland on their own with power armor. The other part is like the Veronica Knights who moved to our East. 】

[As for the changes in our Eastern Brotherhood of Steel?] The break with the Western Brotherhood of Steel may have hit us hard, but "turning super mutants back into humans" is the biggest shock to values...... After all, we've always treated super mutants as predators of humanity and executed them. This is our proudest duty. 】

[But under the command of Elder Lane, we did not stick to this duty and disregard human nature. Even within a few months of the otherworldly people staying in this world, we turned over all the gold bricks and gold bars in the Washington area. The Otherworldly Left a Lot of Golden Apples Behind, but every attempt to capture a Super Mutant actually poses a huge risk to our members, sacrificing their friends and relatives to save the Super Mutants, and the opposition within the Brotherhood is high - but with the arrival of Knights Marcus, Fox Knights, and Postman Knights from the West Coast, they have no hesitation in forming the most dangerous Super Mutant Capture Team, and the Golden Apples are not reduced to beautiful works of art. 】

[Of course, when the golden apples are finally exhausted, our friends from other worlds may not come back to visit.] We still need to develop the technology to turn super mutants back into humans with our own hands...... But whether or not it can be done is not something that I, the Storyteller, can predict, it's just that if you go out and see how Sister City has changed in the past few years, and then think about how many people have migrated from the West Coast to the East Coast across the wasteland, you may not think that this is a wild talk anymore. 】

【…… Well, that's the end of the story, let's talk about the story of a synth made by "Academy" in the Boston area-]

"More on tomorrow! We've had dinner all the way to supper! Do you really want all of us to talk to you all night!? The audience slapped the table and left.

[Tomorrow has a story of tomorrow............ Ah, aren't you gone yet? What other stories would you like to hear? The storyteller turned to the only audience.

(Additional settings: Buildings and crafting tables will collapse with the departure of Liz and the others, but tools and consumables such as iron swords and golden apples can remain in the other world.) (To be continued.) )
