Chapter Eighty-Three: Jacob's Town
(Thanks for the reward from the windward side)
Perhaps the old man, whose real identity is the former elder of the Western Iron Brotherhood, is still working hard to enter the casino to obtain "heavy metal poison gas", but for Liz and the others, the matter here has nothing to do with them...... Therefore, under the spirit of Fawkes, who was upgraded to "Fu Ye", the team from another world returned with sixty or seventy gold bricks, and rode to the town of Jacob, in the northwest of the Mojave region and surrounded by mountains, in a nuclear-powered hovertruck.
This journey lasted for most of the day was relatively peaceful, except for the fact that they were almost bombed when passing through the territory of the legendary "cannon clans who shoot when they see people", and Liz and Krausa almost got out of the car to destroy them when they got angry, most of the wastelanders (even the brainless Caesar's legion) would not try to challenge them when they saw power armor and nuclear-powered cars.
When Leeds and the others arrived at Jacob's Town, they found that two nuclear-powered cars of the same specification were already parked in the town, in other words, the "Eastern Brotherhood of Steel Diplomatic Corps" arrived before them. After talking to each other, it was learned that Poole and the others found the stronghold of the Western Brotherhood of Steel and met with the antiques inside, but they barely said for an hour before "you think I'm a traitor, I think you're selfish" and broke up, and the last brotherhood was all over without a fight on the spot.
Perhaps this result will make Elder Lane, who is "mentally prepared but always looking forward to it," very sad, but probably...... Since then, the Brotherhood of Steel on the East and West Coast has never had anything to do with each other.
…… Forget it, since you've come to "Jacob's Town", let's talk about Jacob's Town.
Jacobs is just a "small town", and even the town next to the never-opened Madre Casino is several times larger, consisting of about a ring of wooden fences, a few fields, a few two-headed cows, a dozen or so war-torn houses, and a central building that appears to be a pre-war 'village activity center'...... Hm. It's no surprise that it's shocking to see a bustling big city in the middle of the mountains.
The biggest feature of this Jacobs town is "the coexistence of humans and super mutants". It's not false advertising, but don't expect humans and super mutants to sit together and call each other brothers, and humans and super mutants fall in love across races. Able to control their fellow super mutants who are either irritable or insane from attacking humans. Both sides live their own lives, which is already the limit of the ability of the super mutant leader "Marcus" here.
Marcus, after Fu Ye, is another super mutant with sanity recognized by Liz, and the level of sanity is still above Fu Ye! Fu Ye is as angry as he is arguing, but Marcus can calmly talk to you about his wonderful experiences in the past few decades......
Overall, the inhabitants of Jacob's Town, both ordinary humans and super mutants, are very kind to Leeds and the others, probably because they brought Fu Ye, who is also a super mutant. It may also be due to their apparent "intentions" to come to Jacob's Town......
"- Mutant patrols that are on guard against NCR raids have also arrived." In the square in front of the building in Jacob's Town, which is suspected to be the 'Village Activity Center', all the townspeople formed a circle under Marcus's organization, "I want to make sure again, do you really have a way to turn super mutants back into humans?" I don't think even if the FEV virus is removed from our body, the physical changes will not be restored......"
Marcus also knows the truth that super mutants were injected with the FEV virus by humans, and he knows more than anyone here, which is exactly what his "wonderful experience" brings.
"So this is the first time...... Liz shrugged, he had answered the same question many times, this and that, and the most painful thing was the schizophrenic super mutant. Different personalities have to ask each other separately, "Let's test it with action, Master Fu, and then-"
"My friend! Don't always toss your precious golden apples around! "Fu Ye, who has already been picked up once in the underground area of the Madre Casino. This time, I had been prepared to catch it steadily.
"Don't worry~~ Seeing that look, I'm still worried that my teeth won't be able to bite, and I'm afraid of falling ~~" Liz, who was taught a lesson by super mutants, snorted perfunctorily.
"............" if it is in human form. Fox must have rolled his eyes, but for now...... It is to turn yourself back into a human!
"Wait." Marcus pressed Fox, who was about to put the golden apple in his mouth, "You said it was risky before, right?" I'll try the first one...... I've lived long enough. I won't regret going down early to accompany my old friends. ”
It's not a vulgar idea like 'I want to turn myself back into a human', Liz has more than one golden apple on their hands, and Marcus, the mayor of the town, has an easy time trying to play with his privileges, so he really takes the lead as a white mouse.
But
Fox's attitude was resolute: "This is the benefactor who set me free!" Friends who are running around fighting for me! Give me the first golden apple I crafted! Fox won't give it to anyone else! ”
“…… Benefactor and friend......" Marcus sighed and withdrew his hand from Fawkes, a feeling he knew well as he had once had a human friend.
"Marcus! Even if something happens to me, please don't blame my friends! ”
“…… Well, I can still tell the difference between good guys and bad guys. Marcus nodded.
"So—" Fawkes opened his mouth wide and bit down on the golden apple as everyone watched...... With a crisp sound, it sounds like the hardness of an ordinary apple.
"Master Fu, how does it taste?! And show us the color of the pulp! "Liz, what trivial things do you care about!?
"It tastes like a regular apple, the flesh of the fruit! Woo! "Fawkes had just turned the golden flesh towards Leeds, but his body spasmed and he had to fall to his knees!
"Fu Ye!"
"Hmm!" Even though it was very intuitive what caused his physical problems, Fawkes still shoved the remaining golden apple into his mouth, bit it a few times and swallowed it all...... And the effect is also very fast, I can't even kneel on the ground, and I completely fall to the ground and convulsions.
"Doctor! Therapeutic needles! Marcus hurriedly turned around and shouted.
"Super Therapy Needles are all ready...... Let's Jean! You big greenskins! ”
"What's the panic...... You guys take a good look at it~" Liz, who was a little panicked just now, was now so calm that he pointed to Fox on the ground.
"Huh?" All at once the crowd fell silent again.
A little, just a little now, are the muscles on Fox's body atrophied*?
(10 minutes later)
…… The color of the skin is also starting to fade.
(10 minutes later)
Is that the hair growing?
(10 minutes later)
Not...... Now it's the overall size that has become smaller......
(Half an hour later)
"- Liz, do you mean that your golden apple still has sexual denawing powers?"
"Uh...... Why don't you hold Krausa down and I'll feed him a golden apple to see what happens? ”
That Luo girl in front, where did you hide our Fu Ye?! (To be continued.) )
