Chapter Seventy-One: New Vegas

Perhaps, like the East Coast, people from different shelters have developed different types of settlements, where pre-war supplies are buried under the rubble waiting to be unearthed, and there are unknowns and thrills everywhere...... However, for Leeds, who has fully experienced the characteristics of this world, who can't take away even if he finds more powerful power armor and more powerful weapons, and who vaguely sees himself as a member of the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel and thinks that the affairs of the West are irrelevant, he really lacks the momentum he had at the beginning.

If it had been three years ago, when he had passed by Nova, the town of "a hotel" and "a dinosaur-shaped building that had been used as a sentry tower," he would have gone down a few lapses and even walked up the stairs to talk to his sentry buddies, and he wouldn't have watched Poole drive by as he did now.

At the very least, he was looking forward to what the platinum chips on Benny, who had now been left behind, and at the same time, he was also looking forward to what the so-called "casino" would be like in a world where the vast majority of people couldn't even get enough to eat.

"Uh...... "Well, he's doomed to disappointment."

Half a day's walk was enough for a nuclear-powered car, and by late evening they had arrived at Camp McCarran, the NCR's stronghold next to New Vegas. After some negotiations, they parked the nuclear-powered sedan in Camp McCarran with great anxiety, and then walked into New Vegas with two NCR Rangers who were like "identity cards".

…… It's just that it's the opposite of the Iron Brotherhood members who look out at the 'tall and beautiful' buildings left behind before the war in the distance. Leeds's enthusiasm dropped by half in an instant, "Didn't Mr. House use his own private missile interceptor system to intercept the nuclear * bomb that came over...... Why I still think that in addition to those few casinos. Everywhere else is just ruins? ”

Yes, New Vegas seems to be divided into two parts: the outer city and the inner city. The inner and outer cities are similarly separated. The out-of-town area where Leeds and the others now occupy more than eighty percent of the area is just the ruins of war everywhere in the wasteland, similar to the ruins of Washington, D.C. on the East Coast.

Whether the missile defense system unexpectedly failed to completely intercept the nuclear * bomb, or whether the interception range of the system only took care of the casino where he was located, is probably only known to Mr. House himself, and no one will find out the root cause except for a certain nag who will deliberately investigate this kind of thing...... It's just that there is still a big difference from the high-end casino that Leeds once made up for in the brain.

"And the order is not very good." Krausa stared coldly at the tattered 'New Vegas residents' who were chasing each other with lead pipes...... Well, the appearance of the winning side stunting (or smashing) the losing side, what was scavenged from him.

Of course, a mob of this level will not be a problem for them, and these two bodyguards of the NCR are one and the same. The members of the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel, including Poole, are still wearing power armor! Those who stood up and did not have heavy weapons had to dodge and run.

“…… Mr. House is the manager of New Vegas, right? Poole, who saw the scene in front of him, pondered for a moment before suddenly turning to the two locals and asked.

"Hmm...... Yes," the rangers who didn't expect to be questioned were stunned, but they still told these things that were not secret, "but the actual managers should be the three families...... They were stewards who had been single-handedly raised by Mr. House from the backward tribes. ”

That means he's in control...... Hmph~" Liz chuckled.

"............" This is not a great answer, especially for Poole, who is planning to contact Mr. House, the first impression of the other party is very low, and after living with Elder Lane, he will really realize what kind of person is worthy of his trust and cooperation...... It's time to think about what to say after the meeting.

After a moment of silence, Poole asked the Rangers again, "I remember that the big casinos are not allowed to bring weapons in?" What about normal armor other than power armor? "Power Armor...... If you tell someone it's not a weapon, they won't believe it.

"There is no problem with normal armor. Even if it's metal heavy armor, at most it's a little more troublesome when searching your body," the ranger thought about it, and still gave Lao Jianghu's advice. "As for weapons...... In fact, as long as it is not discovered......"

If the diplomatic team was killed in the casino, they would not be able to escape the blame as bodyguards, so they had to hide protective weapons such as miniature silencer pistols and iron finger tigers.

"We don't know the rules of the Lucky 38," another ranger added. "Because no one has ever entered the Lucky 38 where Mr. House is."

"Even if it's the head of the three major families?" Klausa said unexpectedly.

"If you send an order, the security robot will do."

"That's right. What about the people of 200 years ago, who knows what he really was. It's normal not to want to be seen. Liz laughed, saying that he didn't remember what he learned from his captives after the fall of the Enclave, that "the president is just an artificial intelligence", and that he didn't believe it.

“…… I'm going to go to other casinos to get some information. The more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and Poole decided to use his eyes and ears to find out what kind of designer the Liberty Pioneer was, what the city under his management was like, and what happened after that...... Let's talk about it......

"Okay, Brother Bing, let's call a few more blonde beauties and let Poole inquire about the information!"

"............" and so on, he is serious about getting down to business! How can he say that he looks like he has accumulated a lot of money because Sarah is pregnant?!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"I really want to drink a cold and steamy nuclear cola...... Leon, who is heading towards the Hoover Dam with Ada, says that he really doesn't like the smell of sunset SARS.

"I like the taste of SARS...... Of course, it should also be cold and steamy. Ida shrugged.

"Phew, the streets here are full of sunset SARS...... It looks like Leeds will be able to get the 'Sunset Savage Vending Machine' recipe again when they return to the Overworld, and it should be able to satisfy your taste buds by then. ”

"Hehe, that's not bad~" Ida chuckled, "Who decided the content of the harvest of 'Our Captain'......"

"Don't think about it, Leeds said that if you get too far into the nitty-gritty, you might get [someone] out of the ranks."

"Hehe, it's okay~ I have nothing to do with it~~" Since Leon has this answer, it means that he has already asked Leeds in person.

"Ada, our dinner tonight...... Not? He was still trying to pass the time of his boring wasteland trek, but Leon suddenly noticed a fire in front of him.

Pull out the Gauss rifle and use the scope magnification function on it, "A lone super mutant?" But how does the weapon on his body look like an Enclave's laser Gatling? ”

Whatever, anyway, a headshot is instantaneous, and the firepower is useless, this super mutant is not the postman uncle with a thick skull, and the Gauss rifle is not a small pistol.

however

“…………”

"Leon, why don't you shoot?" Aidaqi, who had not heard the gunshots for a long time, said.

"No, am I hallucinating after drinking too much Nuka-Cola? The armor on his body reads 'Liz, my friend'......" (To be continued.) )
