Chapter 33: Fox

I don't know if it's because of the same period or the products of the same company, but in Leeds' eyes, the underground research institute in the Brotherhood of Steel headquarters is exactly the same as Vault 87, and almost all the walls, corridors, automatic doors, and stairs knocked down here can be put together in the research institute without any sense of disobedience.

Of course, the two places are still very different due to the human factor. The lab was full of canned iron, and all you could smell was rust and oil, and all you could walk around was super mutants, and all your nose could smell was disgusting with rancid blood...... At this time, Leeds regretted a little that he didn't wear the power armor with his own air handling system and chose a stealth suit that didn't have much function except stealth, but he just 'regretted it a little', and the pleasure of stealth slashing his neck from behind was enough to make up for the pain of his nose.

Under a series of factors such as assassinating the super mutants who stand in the way without making a loud noise, navigating with a beep boy, directly masturbating the MC system when encountering a door that cannot be opened, and continuing to ignore it with the MC system when encountering an ultra-high radiation environment, Liz skipped the "arduous process that the brave should go through to get the treasure" and easily found the Eden Creator.

"It's different from what I imagined......"

The metal box below that is more than one meter tall should be the 'Eden Creator Chassis', which belongs to a link tool that makes the Eden Creator work, and it is not clear whether James needs this thing or not, and Liz can only use the MC system to knock it off and put it in the backpack first. Beyond that, there was nothing else to do, and there was no way Leeds could knock down the entire Vault 87.

Directly above the metal box is the Eden Creator itself, which looks like a metal suitcase.

This thing is designed to look like 'please open me', right? There was no combination lock or anything like that, implying that once the thing was opened, it wouldn't work...... Liz could only open it while scolding, "The game characters don't investigate the attributes of the items, it's uncomfortable," and praying, "Don't touch the air and you won't be able to use it."

The "............" was closed ten seconds later and thrown into the backpack.

――I don't understand.

It's not that things are too complicated and high-end for the layman to look confused, but just the opposite, there is a small monitor, a few cylinders containing unknown solids or liquids, a few metal pipes that bend around, and a large round jar that I don't know what is inside, so that Liz can't imagine that the combination of these things can play a magical role in "improving the land environment and creating plants" or "purifying sewage with radioactive substances".

Okay, after going back to the Pentagon camp, I pulled James and asked him to explain to him how this thing works, and if he doesn't explain it, he won't give it to him, and he will grab it in his brother's backpack, hahaha~~

After the things arrived, Liz didn't immediately think about 'fast traveling' and left, but walked around the shelter divided into several floors a little, and had no time to look at the Eden Creator before, but Liz still noticed something......

"Hey, little brother, do you need me to let you out?" Liz knocked on the tempered glass faΓ§ade of a room whose door was locked by a terminal.

"Ah...... Yes...... Yes! Although he couldn't see Liz in his stealth state, the man inside roared and slammed the wooden stick into the place where it made a noise...... It was furious like a super mutant.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it really a biochemical virus again......"

There's a 'thing' in the rooms on this floor.

Some rooms are multi-legged monsters, some rooms are corpses of super mutants, and some rooms are disabled super mutants...... And this room is a man who still looks human.

Rather than thinking of this as a perverted collector collecting different creatures in the wasteland, Leeds felt that it was more like a super mutant production site, where some people captured the wasteland to inject them with viruses to create Centaurs and super mutants......

"Who...... Whoever is over there, please come and talk to me, talk to me on the walkie-talkie next to me. To Liz's surprise, the man in this room who looked most like a rational creature went crazy, and the guy in the room over there who had secretly confirmed that he was a super mutant was standing by the glass window and talking.

"I'm here." Anyway, there was tempered glass separating it, so Leeds had nothing to scruple about, so he walked over directly.

"No way, either you're hiding, or I'm going crazy." Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, the expression is very violent...... The muscles are so developed that they have locked their 'expressions' on anger.

"Oh, sorry, habitual stealth." Liz lifted her stealth, thought about it, and even took off her helmet and tucked it under her armpit.

"Oh my God, you're really a purebred human?!"

"Not really~" The game character who has no father and no mother is pinched out, even if the race is human, it is different from the 'human' in the eyes of others," By the way, the stealth function is provided by the clothes. ”

"I see...... By the way, you're the best-looking human I've ever seen. ”

"Thank you for the compliment," though Liz was not at all pleased, "a friendly super mutant? Well, I've got a lot of knowledge. ”

"Friendly? I? …… Forgive me, but I'm not kidding, I've been yelled at and attacked all the time. "There must be some kind of special tone here, but it's a pity that the super mutants' voices will probably always be coarse.

"My name is Fox and I've always lived here...... In a cage. "Super mutants, well, Fox said.

Liz shrugged: "Okay, Fawkes, I'm surprised you said it so well. ”

"I think so. When my captors threw me here, they were too stupid to find out that there was a working terminal. Or maybe not at all," I spent all my time reading and reciting all the information on the Vault console. ”

"Huh~~" Liz didn't know how much information there was in it.

"Ironic, isn't it? I can understand the history of the whole world, but this is the only room in my world. ”

"Perhaps, I'm more curious about why you're still alive." Liz was noncommittal.

"Because I'm a special case, a special being, they don't know why I'm different, and it confuses them...... These rooms in the medical area are locked up with their failed experiments. Fawkes's words confirmed some of Leeds' previous speculations, well, some of them needed to be revised, "I think you're here to find the Garden of Eden Creator, let me out, I can take you to get it." ”

"Uh...... You mean this thing? Liz pulled an iron suitcase out of her backpack.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

"Don't be so desperate, I didn't say I wouldn't let you out......" Liz was a little compassionate to the most interesting creatures seen in the Vault, "but I won't let you approach me." ”

"Fox won't take revenge."

"Whatever you may say, vigilance is something you can't give up in the wasteland." Liz shook his head and walked over to Fawkes' iron door and smashed it with his fist.

"There's no way this door opens, you're goingβ€”" Before he could finish speaking, Liz knocked out the door and flew into his backpack...... It's a pity that the super mutants can't even put on a bewildered expression, alas!

"Don't ask anything, I'm just a passing other worldly person who came to get the Garden of Eden's Creator."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay," Fawkes picked up the hammer and walked out of the room where he didn't know how long, "finally, free, finally free, you can't imagine how long I've been waiting for this moment...... It feels so much better than I imagined...... I can't repay you with a great gift. ”

"I don't need to repay you, I'm more worried that if I run into you in the wasteland in the future, I will accidentally kill you from a distance...... Don't resent me then, I don't see any difference in appearance between you and other super mutants. ”

"Benefactor, what's your name?"

"Huh? Leeds. ”

"I will write your name on my breastplate to thank you for all that you have done to me...... Thank you, you are such a nice person. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I was actually dealt a good guy card by a super mutant. ”

"Now, allow us to separate ...... I also want to take revenge on the 'friends' who have been oppressing me. "Fawkes' hammer is hungry.

"Uh...... Well, goodbye. "Fast travel away.

Yes, they'll see you again, but on the far west coast......
